supreme_a lawgiver_n have_v give_v unto_o man_n 3._o the_o apostle_n in_o this_o dispute_n have_v to_o do_v with_o two_o sort_n of_o people_n 1._o the_o gentile_n or_o such_o as_o be_v stranger_n to_o the_o commonwealth_n or_o church_n of_o israel_n who_o have_v no_o write_a law_n of_o divine_a authority_n among_o they_o he_o deal_v with_o they_o another_o way_n and_o go_v about_o to_o convince_v they_o of_o their_o guiltiness_n and_o unrighteousness_n and_o sin_v against_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n 2._o the_o people_n of_o israel_n who_o for_o many_o hundred_o year_n have_v be_v the_o peculiar_a covenant-people_n or_o church_n of_o god_n and_o who_o have_v the_o moral_a law_n of_o god_n write_v brief_o with_o the_o finger_n of_o god_n in_o table_n of_o stone_n and_o more_o large_o open_v in_o other_o part_n of_o scripture_n by_o holy_a man_n inspire_v and_o move_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n these_o he_o try_v by_o this_o more_o full_a and_o perfect_a law_n and_o prove_v they_o guilty_a of_o sin_n against_o the_o law_n and_o so_o conclude_v that_o both_o israelite_n and_o gentiles_n be_v guilty_a before_o god_n and_o there_o be_v none_o of_o they_o righteous_a by_o his_o own_o work_n no_o not_o one_o and_o therefore_o all_o of_o they_o be_v to_o go_v out_o of_o themselves_o and_o to_o flee_v to_o christ_n by_o faith_n that_o be_v find_v in_o he_o they_o may_v be_v free_o justify_v by_o his_o righteousness_n i_o conceive_v therefore_o that_o the_o question_n or_o objection_n in_o this_o text_n be_v occasion_v by_o the_o apostle_n former_a discourse_n do_v concern_v all_o those_o law_n which_o he_o mention_v before_o by_o which_o he_o prove_v that_o man_n can_v not_o be_v justify_v scil_n the_o ceremonial_a law_n the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o the_o moral_a law_n write_v and_o according_o the_o answer_n take_v in_o all_o yea_o we_o establish_v the_o law_n but_o because_o these_o two_o do_v concern_v the_o same_o thing_n forbid_v the_o same_o sin_n and_o command_a the_o same_o duty_n and_o what_o be_v more_o imperfect_o contain_v in_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n be_v far_o more_o perfect_o declare_v in_o the_o moral_a law_n write_v i_o do_v not_o hold_v it_o so_o necessary_a to_o show_v how_o these_o two_o be_v several_o establish_v by_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n for_o if_o this_o be_v make_v evident_a concern_v the_o moral_a law_n write_v which_o be_v more_o large_a and_o full_o comprehend_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n in_o it_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n be_v establish_v also_o notwithstanding_o in_o as_o much_o as_o the_o apostle_n have_v show_v that_o none_o can_v be_v justify_v by_o the_o light_n and_o law_n of_o nature_n i_o think_v fit_a to_o speak_v something_o brief_o of_o that_o also_o as_o conceive_v it_o to_o be_v include_v in_o this_o objection_n and_o the_o apostle_n answer_v to_o it_o the_o point_n then_o which_o i_o observe_v be_v this_o that_o god_n have_v give_v to_o man_n a_o light_n and_o law_n of_o nature_n nature_n this_o i_o take_v to_o be_v plain_o express_v in_o divers_a passage_n of_o the_o first_o and_o second_o chapter_n of_o this_o epistle_n and_o twice_o employ_v in_o this_o verse_n 1._o in_o the_o objection_n do_v we_o then_o make_v void_a the_o law_n through_o faith_n do_v the_o doctrine_n of_o justification_n through_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n apply_v by_o faith_n exclude_v all_o other_o way_n of_o justification_n make_v the_o law_n of_o ceremony_n the_o law_n moral_a the_o light_n and_o law_n of_o nature_n as_o former_o mention_v of_o no_o effect_n altogether_o void_a of_o no_o force_n or_o use_v 2._o in_o the_o answer_n we_o establish_v the_o law_n and_o as_o the_o law_n of_o ceremony_n and_o the_o law_n moral_a so_o the_o law_n and_o light_n of_o nature_n so_o that_o the_o apostle_n show_v according_a to_o the_o point_n that_o god_n have_v give_v unto_o man_n a_o light_n and_o law_n of_o nature_n 21._o that_o which_o may_v be_v know_v of_o god_n be_v manifest_a in_o they_o for_o god_n have_v show_v it_o unto_o they_o for_o the_o invisible_a thing_n of_o god_n be_v clear_o see_v be_v understand_v by_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v make_v even_o his_o eternal_a power_n and_o godhead_n so_o that_o they_o be_v without_o excuseâ—_n because_o that_o when_o they_o know_v god_n they_o glorify_v he_o not_o as_o god_n etc._n etc._n where_o it_o be_v manifest_v the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o the_o law_n and_o light_n of_o nature_n common_a to_o man_n in_o general_a even_o to_o those_o that_o have_v no_o light_n of_o scripture_n nor_o write_a law_n of_o god_n 15._o for_o when_o the_o gentile_n which_o have_v not_o the_o law_n do_v by_o nature_n the_o thing_n contain_v in_o the_o law_n these_o have_v not_o the_o law_n be_v a_o law_n unto_o themselves_o which_o show_v the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n write_v in_o their_o heart_n their_o conscience_n also_o hear_v witness_n and_o their_o
