by_o all_o these_o to_o fetch_v in_o your_o acceptance_n with_o god_n the_o father_n do_v you_o not_o bring_v your_o duty_n into_o the_o room_n of_o christ_n and_o into_o the_o place_n of_o christ_n and_o do_v you_o think_v that_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n will_v ever_o present_v such_o a_o duty_n unto_o god_n the_o father_n as_o steps_z into_o his_o room_n and_o place_n what_o a_o sad_a

the_o type_n of_o the_o law_n and_o so_o now_o the_o child_n of_o abraham_n believer_n do_v too_o much_o go_v into_o hagar_n still_o and_o to_o the_o law_n still_o when_o a_o man_n can_v dare_v not_o

a_o man_n that_o seek_v to_o be_v justify_v and_o save_v by_o his_o work_n he_o do_v stint_v and_o limit_v himself_o i_o have_v enough_o say_v he_o for_o to_o bring_v i_o to_o heaven_n and_o what_o

he_o stint_v and_o limit_n himself_o and_o i_o have_v be_v weep_v and_o mourn_v enough_o for_o to_o get_v forgiveness_n and_o the_o lord_n now_o have_v forgive_v i_o and_o what_o need_v i_o more_o thus_o he_o stint_v and_o limit_n himself_o because_o he_o be_v under_o the_o law_n and_o under_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n again_o though_o your_o obedience_n as_o you_o think_v be_v very_o little_a

mean_v by_o this_o justification_n by_o faith_n alone_o answ_n that_o i_o may_v be_v understand_v by_o the_o mean_a
by_o this_o justification_n i_o mean_v that_o act_n of_o god_n grace_n whereby_o through_o the_o imputation_n of_o our_o sin_n to_o christ_n and_o christ_n righteousness_n unto_o we_o god_n the_o

a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n which_o have_v no_o work_n for_o all_o justify_v faith_n be_v full_a of_o work_n but_o these_o work_n do_v not_o come_v into_o our_o justification_n as_o now_o a_o man_n servant_n they_o have_v he_o to_o bed_n servant_n have_v their_o master_n and_o mistress_n to_o bed_n tend_v upon_o they_o to_o bed_n but_o they_o do_v not_o go_v into_o the_o bed_n with_o

justification_n be_v that_o bed_n where_o christ_n and_o a_o believe_v soul_n lie_v &_o though_o good_a work_n duty_n and_o prayer_n tend_v upon_o christ_n and_o where_o ever_o there_o be_v faith_n there_o be_v these_o yet_o this_o bed_n of_o justification_n be_v keep_v free_a and_o entire_a and_o only_o for_o the_o righteousness_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o they_o come_v not_o to_o bed_v they_o come_v not_o into_o this_o work_n or_o if_o you_o will_v thus_o you_o know_v that_o when_o a_o israelite_n be_v sting_v in_o the_o wilderness_n by_o a_o fiery_a bite_a serpent_n he_o be_v then_o to_o look_v upon_o the_o brazen_a serpent_n and_o by_o the_o behold_n of_o the_o brasen-serpent_n he_o be_v cure_v the_o look_v of_o his_o eye_n cure_v he_o he_o have_v other_o member_n there_o

of_o the_o eye_n that_o do_v cure_v the_o person_n and_o so_o though_o work_n do_v accompany_v faith_n and_o there_o be_v no_o save_v justify_v faith_n but_o work_v accompany_v it_o yet_o it_o be_v only_o the_o behold_n of_o this_o brasen-serpent_n by_o the_o eye_n of_o faith_n that_o do_v cure_v the_o soul_n as_o to_o the_o point_n of_o justification_n when_o abraham_n go_v up_o into_o the_o

of_o this_o hill_n and_o so_o they_o do_v servants_z he_o have_v but_o they_o stay_v below_o and_o so_o when_o a_o man_n go_v up_o into_o this_o hill_n of_o justification_n this_o high_a mountain_n he_o take_v only_o his_o faith_n with_o he_o and_o he_o say_v unto_o all_o his_o work_n and_o unto_o all_o his_o duty_n stay_v you_o below_o at_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o hill_n and_o there_o they_o attend_v so_o that_o faith_n justify_v faith_n though_o it_o have_v always_o work_n yet_o they_o come_v not_o into_o this_o matter_n of_o justification_n it_o be_v faith_n alone_o that_o justify_v this_o by_o way_n of_o explication_n quest_n 2_o but_o second_o you_o will_v say_v how_o may_v it_o appear_v now_o that_o this_o free-justification_n of_o a_o poor_a sinner_n by_o faith_n alone_o be_v

of_o faith_n and_o after_o once_o i_o understand_v this_o doctrine_n of_o free-remission_n and_o justification_n by_o faith_n alone_o than_o i_o love_v repentance_n as_o for_o the_o mortification_n of_o sin_n you_o know_v what_o the_o apostle_n say_v let_v not_o sin_n reign_v in_o your_o mortal_a body_n 14._o rom._n 6.12_o &_o 14._o or_o have_v dominion_n over_o you_o why_o for_o you_o be_v not_o under_o the_o law_n but_o under_o grace_n so_o then_o it_o be_v be_v under_o grace_n that_o do_v mortify_v sin_n and_o as_o for_o the_o matter_n of_o obedience_n you_o know_v what_o the_o psalmist_n say_v there_o be_v mercy_n with_o thou_o o_o lord_n 4_o psal_n 130_o 4_o that_o thou_o may_v be_v fear_v that_o be_v that_o thou_o may_v be_v serve_v that_o thou_o may_v be_v obey_v so_o that_o obedience_n also_o come_v from_o the_o sight_n of_o mercy_n and_o of_o free-remission_n now_o if_o free-remission_n and_o the_o sense_n thereof_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o our_o holiness_n then_o sure_o justification_n by_o faith_n alone_o can_v be_v no_o enemy_n but_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o real_a friend_n unto_o all_o our_o spiritual_a life_n object_n but_o by_o way_n of_o objection_n it_o will_v be_v say_v in_o the_o three_o place_n this_o doctrine_n of_o free-remission_n and_o justification_n by_o faith_n alone_o seem_v to_o carry_v somewhat_o with_o it_o that_o be_v opposite_a unto_o grace_n and_o holiness_n for_o the_o more_o a_o man_n be_v bind_v unto_o the_o law_n and_o take_v himself_o to_o be_v so_o the_o more_o obedient_a he_o will_v be_v to_o the_o law_n but_o now_o a_o man_n never_o take_v himself_o more_o to_o be_v bind_v unto_o the_o law_n than_o when_o he_o seek_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n and_o so_o he_o will_v be_v most_o obedient_a answ_n for_o answer_v you_o must_v know_v that_o the_o word_n law_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v take_v two_o way_n either_o it_o be_v take_v for_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n thus_o if_o you_o keep_v the_o ten_o commandment_n perfect_o you_o shall_v live_v for_o ever_o this_o be_v the_o covenant_n of_o work_n sometime_o the_o law_n be_v take_v for_o the_o ten_o commandment_n the_o rule_n of_o man_n life_n in_o the_o first_o sense_n a_o christian_n be_v dead_a unto_o the_o law_n and_o be_v free_v from_o it_o but_o in_o the_o second_o sense_n a_o believer_n a_o justify_v person_n be_v more_o bind_v to_o the_o law_n to_o observe_v it_o as_o a_o rule_n of_o life_n than_o ever_o he_o be_v only_o you_o must_v know_v there_o be_v a_o twofold_a bond_n there_o be_v the_o bond_n of_o love_n and_o there_o be_v the_o bond_n of_o fear_n as_o there_o be_v the_o law_n of_o love_n and_o the_o law_n of_o fear_n love_n and_o the_o bond_n of_o love_n be_v strong_a than_o fear_n and_o the_o bond_n of_o fear_n for_o fear_n be_v servant_n to_o love_n fear_n be_v the_o hand_n maid_n to_o love_n for_o you_o never_o fear_v the_o lose_n of_o any_o good_a thing_n but_o what_o you_o first_o love_n fear_n be_v the_o servant_n to_o love_n and_o therefore_o love_n be_v strong_a than_o fear_n and_o the_o bond_n of_o love_n strong_a than_o the_o bond_n of_o fear_n now_o though_o a_o justify_v person_n be_v not_o bind_v unto_o the_o law_n with_o the_o bond_n of_o a_o servile-fear_a yet_o he_o be_v bind_v unto_o the_o law_n with_o the_o bond_n of_o love_n and_o so_o he_o be_v more_o obedient_a as_o the_o bond_n of_o love_n be_v strong_a than_o the_o bond_n of_o fear_n a_o man_n must_v needs_o be_v obedient_a unto_o christ_n that_o take_v himself_o to_o be_v none_o of_o his_o own_o but_o christ_n therefore_o say_v the_o apostle_n 6.20_o 1_o cor._n 6.20_o glorify_v christ_n with_o your_o body_n because_o you_o be_v buy_v with_o a_o price_n and_o because_o you_o be_v go_n so_o long_o as_o a_o man_n seek_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o work_n and_o by_o the_o law_n so_o long_o he_o look_v upon_o himself_o as_o his_o own_o but_o when_o a_o man_n see_v that_o he_o be_v

before_o object_n 2_o second_o if_o this_o be_v such_o a_o principle_n of_o grace_n and_o holiness_n how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o man_n sin_v the_o more_o as_o they_o hear_v more_o of_o this_o free-remission_n and_o justification_n of_o a_o poor_a sinner_n by_o faith_n alone_o oh_o say_v one_o god_n be_v merciful_a and_o gracious_a and_o therefore_o i_o will_v now_o live_v as_o i_o listen_v and_o repent_v afterward_o if_o this_o doctrine_n this_o truth_n and_o this_o grace_n of_o god_n be_v the_o principle_n of_o all_o our_o holiness_n how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o man_n sin_v

i_o may_v ask_v you_o the_o reason_n likewise_o but_o i_o will_v tell_v you_o the_o reason_n the_o reason_n of_o this_o be_v because_o man_n be_v contrary_a unto_o god_n and_o all_o that_o do_v make_v this_o use_n &_o application_n of_o the_o lord_n mercy_n and_o grace_n they_o be_v contrary_a unto_o god_n for_o god_n work_v good_a out_o of_o evil_n now_o a_o wicked_a man_n be_v contrary_a unto_o

be_v a_o very_a real_a friend_n unto_o all_o our_o grace_n and_o holiness_n quest_n 4_o but_o in_o the_o four_o place_n you_o will_v say_v then_o what_o be_v there_o in_o this_o justification_n by_o

be_v a_o live_a man_n be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o life_n live_v a_o spiritual_a life_n and_o this_o you_o have_v most_o express_o in_o that_o 6._o chap._n of_o john_n at_o the_o 40._o vers_fw-la this_o be_v the_o will_n of_o he_o that_o send_v i_o that_o every_o one_o which_o see_v the_o son_n and_o believe_v on_o he_o may_v have_v everlasting_a life_n and_o i_o will_v raise_v he_o up_o at_o

spiritual_a life_n be_v take_v therefore_o this_o description_n of_o it_o it_o be_v that_o supernatural_a perfection_n of_o soul_n whereby_o a_o man_n be_v unite_v unto_o christ_n by_o the_o spirit_n be_v able_a to_o act_v move_v and_o work_v towards_o god_n as_o his_o utmost_a end_n first_o i_o say_v it_o be_v a_o supernatural_a perfection_n there_o be_v some_o perfection_n in_o every_o life_n life_n be_v the_o great_a good_a and_o perfection_n death_n be_v the_o great_a evil_n therefore_o when_o the_o lord_n theratn_v adam_n to_o punish_v he_o for_o eat_v the_o forbidden-fruit_n he_o say_v the_o day_n thou_o eat_v thereof_o 2._o gen._n 2._o thou_o shall_v die_v the_o death_n death_n be_v the_o great_a evil_n and_o so_o life_n be_v the_o great_a good_a and_o perfection_n and_o this_o the_o devil_n know_v full_a well_o 2.4_o joh_n 2.4_o when_o he_o say_v skin_n for_o skin_n and_o all_o that_o a_o man_n have_v will_v he_o give_v for_o his_o life_n so_o that_o life_n be_v a_o perfection_n but_o i_o say_v this_o spiritual_a life_n it_o be_v the_o supernatural_a perfection_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o therefore_o in_o the_o 4._o chapter_n of_o the_o ephesian_n and_o the_o 18_o verse_n this_o life_n of_o the_o saint_n the_o very_a life_n of_o the_o saint_n be_v call_v the_o life_n of_o god_n it_o be_v a_o supernatural_a perfection_n of_o soul_n therefore_o second_o as_o it_o be_v a_o supernatural_a perfection_n of_o soul_n so_o it_o rise_v from_o our_o union_n with_o christ_n by_o the_o spirit_n a_o man_n be_v unite_v to_o god_n by_o faith_n and_o by_o the_o spirit_n and_o as_o our_o outward_a life_n do_v arise_v from_o the_o union_n between_o the_o soul_n and_o the_o body_n and_o though_o the_o body_n be_v never_o so_o fair_a or_o full_a yet_o if_o it_o be_v not_o unite_v to_o the_o soul_n it_o be_v but_o a_o dead_a carcase_n so_o our_o spiritual_a life_n it_o do_v arise_v from_o our_o union_n with_o christ_n and_o though_o a_o man_n have_v never_o so_o

and_o therefore_o say_v the_o apostle_n here_o in_o the_o text_n nevertheless_o i_o live_v yet_o not_o i_o but_o christ_n live_v in_o i_o three_o as_o it_o arise_v from_o our_o union_n with_o christ_n by_o the_o spirit_n so_o i_o say_v it_o be_v that_o supernatural_a i_o perfection_n whereby_o a_o man_n be_v able_a to_o act_v and_o move_v and_o work_v towards_o god_n as_o his_o utmost_a and_o

so_o that_o then_o you_o have_v this_o description_n of_o our_o spiritual_a life_n i_o repeat_v it_o again_o it_o be_v that_o supernatural_a perfection_n of_o soul_n whereby_o a_o man_n be_v unite_v
