of_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o they_o be_v they_o say_v he_o which_o testify_v of_o i_o and_o to_o be_v sure_a there_o be_v no_o other_o scripture_n which_o can_v testfy_v of_o christ_n to_o the_o unbelieve_a jew_n but_o only_o those_o of_o moses_n and_o the_o prephet_n these_o be_v the_o only_a scripture_n who_o testimony_n they_o credit_v but_o yet_o the_o reason_n which_o our_o saviour_n urge_v to_o move_v they_o to_o read_v the_o old_a testament_n do_v as_o much_o oblige_v we_o to_o read_v the_o new_a as_o well_o as_o the_o old_a as_o it_o do_v they_o to_o read_v the_o old_a for_o in_o they_o you_o think_v you_o have_v eternal_a life_n that_o be_v in_o they_o yet_o think_v you_o have_v eternal_a life_n promise_v and_o all_o the_o necessary_n to_o be_v believe_v and_o do_v by_o you_o in_o order_n to_o your_o obtain_n it_o propose_v to_o you_o and_o indeed_o as_o they_o think_v so_o it_o be_v they_o have_v eternal_a life_n propose_v to_o they_o in_o hieroglyphic_n for_o that_o be_v the_o mystery_n of_o their_o holy_a of_o holies_n that_o be_v the_o interpretation_n of_o their_o land_n of_o canaan_n and_o the_o spiritual_a sense_n of_o all_o their_o general_a promise_n of_o good_a thing_n to_o come_v they_o have_v all_o the_o article_n of_o faith_n and_o all_o the_o instance_n of_o duty_n that_o be_v necessary_a to_o their_o attainment_n of_o eternal_a life_n exhibit_v to_o they_o in_o the_o write_n of_o their_o prophet_n and_o the_o type_n and_o figure_n of_o their_o law_n for_o it_o be_v by_o this_o rule_n alone_o that_o all_o the_o holy_a man_n of_o the_o jewish_a nation_n do_v live_v and_o believe_v and_o either_o this_o be_v sufficient_a to_o guide_v and_o direct_v they_o to_o eternal_a life_n or_o they_o be_v leave_v under_o a_o fatal_a necessity_n of_o fall_v short_a of_o it_o it_o be_v the_o law_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o do_v enlighten_v their_o eye_n and_o rejoice_v their_o heart_n and_o convert_v their_o soul_n and_o it_o be_v in_o keep_v it_o that_o they_o find_v great_a reward_n ps_n 19.7_o 8_o 11._o and_o therefore_o either_o they_o fall_v short_a of_o the_o reward_n of_o eternal_a life_n notwithstanding_o this_o their_o illumination_n and_o conversion_n or_o they_o find_v it_o in_o keep_v that_o law_n by_o which_o they_o be_v illuminate_v and_o convert_v and_o if_o in_o keep_v their_o law_n they_o find_v eternal_a life_n then_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o in_o their_o law_n they_o have_v it_o so_o that_o these_o word_n of_o our_o saviour_n for_o in_o they_o you_o think_v you_o have_v eternal_a life_n do_v not_o imply_v that_o they_o be_v mistake_v in_o think_v so_o or_o at_o least_o they_o only_o imply_v that_o they_o be_v mistake_v in_o think_v to_o obtain_v eternal_a life_n by_o adber_v to_o the_o prime_n and_o literal_a sense_n of_o their_o law_n without_o pursue_v the_o mystery_n and_o spiritual_a mean_v of_o it_o which_o be_v indeed_o the_o error_n of_o the_o pharisee_n with_o who_o our_o saviour_n be_v here_o discourse_v for_o the_o internal_a sense_n and_o mystery_n of_o their_o law_n be_v the_o gospel_n all_o who_o article_n of_o faith_n and_o precept_n of_o duty_n be_v though_o dark_o and_o obscure_o express_v and_o represent_v in_o the_o type_n and_o figure_n of_o the_o mosaic_a institution_n and_o hence_o the_o apostle_n tell_v that_o both_o the_o priest_n and_o their_o oblation_n do_v serve_v unto_o the_o example_n and_o shadow_n of_o heavenly_a thing_n heb._n 8.5_o so_o that_o the_o heavenly_a thing_n contain_v in_o the_o gospel_n be_v the_o substantial_a idea_n which_o those_o legal_a type_n and_o pattern_n contain_v and_o represent_v and_o the_o same_o author_n call_v that_o law_n a_o shadow_n of_o good_a thing_n to_o come_v heb._n 10.1_o that_o be_v it_o be_v a_o obscure_a scheme_n or_o prefiguration_n of_o the_o mercy_n of_o the_o gospel_n of_o which_o eternal_a life_n be_v a_o principal_a part._n since_o therefore_o the_o law_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o only_o the_o gospel_n in_o dark_a and_o obscure_a cipher_n if_o in_o this_o we_o christian_n have_v eternal_a life_n in_o that_o the_o jew_n have_v it_o also_o and_o therefore_o the_o reason_n which_o our_o saviour_n here_o urge_v to_o oblige_v the_o jew_n to_o search_v the_o scripture_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n for_o in_o they_o you_o think_v have_v eternal_a life_n do_v at_o least_o equal_o oblige_v we_o christian_n to_o search_v the_o scripture_n both_o of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a for_o if_o they_o have_v just_a reason_n to_o think_v they_o have_v eternal_a life_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o be_v thereupon_o oblige_v to_o search_v into_o it_o we_o have_v rather_o more_o reason_n to_o think_v that_o we_o have_v eternal_a life_n in_o the_o new_a since_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o only_o the_o old_a deciphered_a and_o unriddle_v and_o therefore_o we_o must_v not_o only_o have_v eternal_a life_n in_o this_o as_o they_o have_v in_o that_o but_o we_o must_v also_o have_v it_o far_o more_o express_o than_o they_o in_o the_o prosecution_n of_o this_o argument_n therefore_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v these_o two_o thing_n i._o to_o show_v you_o that_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n we_o have_v eternal_a life_n ii_o that_o this_o be_v a_o very_a forcible_a reason_n to_o oblige_v we_o to_o search_v they_o i._n first_o that_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n we_o have_v eternal_a life_n that_o be_v that_o in_o they_o we_o have_v eternal_a life_n propose_v to_o we_o together_o with_o all_o that_o be_v necessary_a to_o be_v believe_v and_o practise_v by_o we_o in_o order_n to_o our_o obtain_n it_o or_o in_o other_o word_n that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v a_o sufficient_a rule_n both_o of_o faith_n and_o manner_n to_o guide_v and_o direct_v we_o to_o eternal_a happiness_n and_o this_o be_v one_o article_n of_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n which_o we_o be_v require_v to_o explain_v to_o the_o people_n for_o so_o in_o her_o six_o article_n our_o church_n profess_v that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n contain_v all_o thing_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n so_o that_o whatsoever_o be_v not_o read_v therein_o or_o may_v be_v prove_v thence_o be_v not_o require_v of_o any_o man_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v believe_v as_o a_o article_n of_o faith_n or_o be_v think_v requisite_a or_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n now_o to_o make_v the_o scripture_n a_o sufficient_a rule_n as_o to_o all_o thing_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n there_o be_v two_o thing_n necessary_a first_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v full_a and_o second_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v clear_a both_o which_o the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v in_o a_o eminent_a degree_n as_o contain_v in_o it_o all_o that_o be_v necessary_a to_o be_v believe_v and_o do_v in_o order_n to_o eternal_a life_n and_o this_o will_v evident_o appear_v from_o these_o three_o follow_a proposition_n 1._o that_o the_o holy_a spirit_n inspire_v the_o writer_n of_o the_o scripture_n with_o all_o that_o be_v necessary_a to_o eternal_a life_n 2._o that_o they_o preach_v to_o the_o world_n all_o those_o necessary_n with_o which_o the_o holy_a spirit_n inspire_v they_o 3._o that_o all_o those_o necessary_a truth_n which_o they_o preach_v be_v comprehend_v in_o those_o sacred_a write_n of_o they_o of_o which_o the_o holy_a scripture_n consist_v 1._o that_o the_o holy_a spirit_n infpire_v the_o writer_n of_o the_o scripture_n with_o all_o that_o be_v necessary_a to_o eternal_a life_n for_o first_o our_o saviour_n by_o who_o they_o be_v original_o instruct_v declare_v that_o as_o the_o father_n love_v he_o and_o show_v he_o all_o thing_n that_o himself_o do_v joh._n 5.20_o so_o he_o have_v make_v know_v to_o they_o all_o thing_n that_o he_o have_v hear_v of_o his_o father_n job_n 17.8_o and_o then_o when_o he_o go_v from_o they_o and_o cease_v to_o instruct_v they_o in_o his_o own_o person_n he_o promise_v that_o by_o his_o spirit_n he_o will_v teach_v they_o all_o thing_n and_o bring_v all_o thing_n to_o their_o remembrance_n whatsoever_o he_o have_v say_v unto_o they_o job_n 14.26_o and_o that_o by_o the_o same_o spirit_n he_o will_v guide_v they_o into_o all_o truth_n job_n 16.13_o if_o therefore_o the_o spirit_n do_v perform_v this_o promise_n to_o they_o as_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o he_o do_v than_o we_o be_v sure_a that_o he_o do_v teach_v they_o over_o again_o whatsoever_o christ_n have_v teach_v they_o before_o and_o if_o christ_n have_v teach_v they_o whatsoever_o he_o have_v hear_v of_o his_o father_n as_o he_o declare_v he_o have_v than_o it_o be_v certain_a either_o that_o he_o teach_v they_o all_o thing_n necessary_a to_o eternal_a life_n or_o that_o he_o himself_o have_v not_o hear_v from_o his_o father_n all_o thing_n that_o be_v necessary_a thereunto_o 2._o that_o as_o
