moral_a law_n be_v still_o sin_n therefore_o still_o it_o bind_v the_o conscience_n do_v you_o not_o remember_v what_o st_n james_n say_v now_o under_o the_o gospel_n he_o press_v it_o yet_o on_o man_n conscience_n he_o that_o say_v do_v not_o commit_v adultery_n say_v also_o 2.11_o do_v not_o kill_v now_o though_o thou_o commit_v no_o adultery_n yet_o if_o thou_o kill_v thou_o be_v become_v a_o transgressor_n of_o the_o law_n and_o though_o you_o may_v call_v it_o a_o law_n of_o liberty_n in_o what_o sense_n you_o please_v yet_o he_o tell_v you_o you_o have_v best_o look_v to_o your_o word_n and_o deed_n for_o you_o must_v be_v judge_v by_o this_o law_n of_o liberty_n so_o speak_v you_o and_o so_o do_v as_o they_o that_o shall_v be_v judge_v by_o the_o law_n of_o liberty_n 3._o three_o that_o which_o be_v observe_v do_v cause_n the_o conscience_n of_o the_o regenerate_v to_o excuse_v and_o be_v transgress_v to_o accuse_v that_o bind_v their_o conscience_n for_o what_o else_o do_v you_o make_v bind_v of_o conscience_n but_o this_o but_o the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v observe_v do_v cause_n the_o conscience_n to_o excuse_v be_v transgress_v to_o accuse_v in_o many_o thing_n we_o sin_v all_o say_v the_o apostle_n mark_v our_o conscience_n do_v accuse_v we_o as_o we_o do_v sin_n in_o many_o thing_n so_o our_o conscience_n do_v accuse_v we_o when_o we_o do_v so_o i_o be_o a_o sinful_a man_n say_v saint_n t_o peter_n luke_n 5.8_o his_o conscience_n do_v accuse_v he_o of_o sin_n 4._o four_o that_o which_o be_v the_o condition_n of_o god_n covenant_n of_o grace_n bind_v the_o conscience_n yea_o of_o the_o regenerate_a but_o sincere_a obedience_n to_o god_n law_n be_v a_o condition_n of_o god_n covenant_n of_o grace_n see_v luke_n 1.72_o to_o remember_v his_o holy_a covenant_n and_o the_o oath_n that_o he_o swear_v that_o he_o will_v give_v we_o that_o be_v deliver_v out_o of_o the_o hand_n of_o our_o enemy_n we_o may_v serve_v he_o without_o fear_n in_o holiness_n and_o righteousness_n before_o he_o all_o the_o day_n of_o our_o life_n mark_v sincere_a and_o universal_a obedience_n be_v a_o condition_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n not_o only_o for_o a_o manifestation_n to_o ourselves_o that_o we_o be_v true_o justify_v as_o these_o upstart_n patritian_n do_v hold_v but_o it_o be_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n every_o covenant_n have_v its_o condition_n annex_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v call_v the_o book_n of_o the_o covenant_n exod._n 24.7_o the_o word_n of_o the_o covenant_n exod._n 34.28_o the_o table_n of_o the_o covenant_n deut._n 9.11_o the_o reason_n be_v this_o because_o when_o a_o covenant_n be_v make_v the_o condition_n be_v put_v into_o a_o book_n or_o a_o table_n and_o express_v in_o word_n only_o here_o be_v the_o difference_n between_o the_o first_o covenant_n of_o work_n and_o the_o second_o covenant_n of_o grace_n both_o have_v condition_n but_o here_o i_o say_v be_v the_o difference_n in_o the_o one_o grace_n give_v the_o covenant_n and_o grace_n give_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o covenant_n but_o a_o condition_n be_v annex_v though_o now_o hence_o we_o may_v argue_v and_o none_o but_o enemy_n to_o the_o gospel_n can_v deny_v it_o if_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n do_v bind_v a_o man_n conscience_n then_o certain_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o covenant_n bind_v a_o man_n conscience_n too_o but_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n bind_v the_o conscience_n of_o the_o regenerate_a and_o therefore_o the_o condition_n of_o it_o bind_v if_o you_o ask_v what_o be_v this_o to_o obedience_n the_o answer_n be_v that_o obedience_n be_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n as_o the_o forename_a scripture_n express_v luke_n 1.72_o thus_o you_o see_v the_o law_n of_o god_n bind_v the_o conscience_n of_o all_o the_o regenerate_v this_o be_v the_o three_o use_n 4._o 4._o have_v the_o word_n of_o god_n supreme_a power_n to_o bind_v conscience_n then_o hence_o we_o may_v learn_v that_o no_o creature_n can_v dispense_v with_o it_o nor_o free_a conscience_n from_o guilt_n when_o a_o man_n transgress_v the_o word_n what_o a_o damn_a usurpation_n
