the_o principal_a the_o accessary_a fall_n with_o it_o so_o that_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n in_o the_o judgement_n of_o all_o have_v still_o bind_v christian_n be_v there_o not_o special_a revocation_n of_o these_o command_n and_o be_v there_o not_o reason_n for_o their_o expiration_n from_o the_o very_a nature_n of_o they_o now_o no_o such_o thing_n can_v be_v affirm_v by_o the_o

they_o bring_v in_o the_o moral_a law_n in_o the_o dispute_n they_o do_v it_o in_o respect_n of_o justification_n not_o obligation_n for_o the_o main_a question_n be_v whether_o the_o ceremonial_a

〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d to_o live_v like_o a_o gentile_a be_v not_o to_o observe_v the_o law_n of_o moses_n and_o in_o this_o sense_n it_o be_v to_o be_v take_v here_o for_o the_o apostle_n scope_n be_v to_o make_v good_a that_o great_a charge_n upon_o all_o mankind_n both_o jew_n and_o gentile_n that_o natural_o they_o be_v whole_o in_o sin_n and_o god_n be_v no_o accepter_n of_o person_n will_v destroy_v the_o one_o as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o and_o whereas_o it_o may_v be_v think_v very_o hard_o to_o deal_v thus_o with_o the_o gentile_a because_o no_o law_n be_v deliver_v unto_o

whether_o it_o be_v mean_v of_o the_o gentile_n abide_v so_o or_o the_o gentile_n convert_v and_o turn_v believer_n for_o that_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o such_o most_o of_o the_o latin_a

it_o that_o it_o be_v certain_a i_o confess_v they_o bring_v many_o probable_a reason_n but_o i_o will_v not_o trouble_v you_o with_o they_o this_o seeem_v a_o strong_a argument_n against_o they_o because_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o such_o who_o be_v without_o a_o law_n and_o a_o law_n to_o themselves_o which_o can_v not_o be_v true_a of_o gentile_n convert_v we_o take_v the_o apostle_n therefore_o to_o speak_v of_o gentile_n abide_v so_o but_o in_o this_o sense_n there_o be_v also_o a_o dangeron_n exposition_n and_o a_o sound_a one_o the_o poisonous_a interpretation_n be_v of_o the_o pelagian_o who_o understand_v the_o law_n write_v in_o their_o heart_n in_o the_o same_o sense_n as_o it_o be_v use_v jerem_n 33._o even_o such_o a_o fulfil_n of_o the_o law_n which_o will_v

and_o christ_n therefore_o the_o say_a interpretation_n be_v of_o the_o gentile_n indeed_o but_o yet_o to_o understand_v the_o law_n write_v in_o their_o heart_n only_o of_o those_o relic_n of_o

this_o assertion_n contradict_v that_o of_o the_o apostle_n ephes_n 2._o 15._o where_o he_o call_v those_o ordinance_n enmity_n and_o decree_n against_o we_o for_o those_o ceremony_n may_v be_v

be_v abrogate_a at_o all_o it_o be_v true_a indeed_o our_o learned_a writer_n show_v that_o the_o law_n be_v abrogate_a in_o respect_n of_o justification_n condemnation_n and_o rigour_n of_o

thus_o it_o be_v if_o we_o will_v speak_v proper_o yet_o because_o the_o satisfaction_n and_o obedience_n be_v by_o christ_n and_o not_o by_o we_o we_o may_v say_v that_o it_o be_v abrogate_a to_o
