do_v not_o trouble_v their_o thought_n to_o aim_v at_o god_n commandment_n in_o it_o let_v i_o tell_v you_o conscience_n will_v not_o count_v this_o obedience_n for_o conscience_n feel_v no_o bond_n

in_o whatsoever_o you_o do_v still_o look_v at_o god_n all_o be_v lose_v with_o conscience_n else_o though_o you_o eat_v never_o so_o sober_o and_o drink_v never_o so_o moderate_o pray_v never_o so_o due_o conscience_n count_v it_o all_o nothing_o if_o you_o do_v not_o look_v at_o god_n it_o be_v god_n only_o &_o his_o word_n that_o do_v bind_v it_o and_o it_o will_v never_o give_v a_o discharge_n except_o your_o heart_n look_v at_o he_o use_v 3_o 3._o this_o serve_v to_o confute_v our_o antinomist_n such_o as_o say_v the_o law_n of_o god_n bind_v not_o the_o conscience_n of_o the_o regenerate_v you_o see_v here_o that_o the_o law_n of_o god_n bind_v the_o conscience_n and_o therefore_o if_o the_o regenerate_a have_v any_o conscience_n at_o all_o as_o certain_o they_o have_v the_o best_a conscience_n of_o all_o man_n than_o it_o must_v needs_o bind_v their_o conscience_n free_v from_o what_o christian_n be_v free_v we_o confess_v the_o conscience_n of_o the_o regenerate_a be_v free_v from_o many_o thing_n by_o christ_n first_o it_o be_v free_v from_o the_o yoke_n and_o bondage_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n gal._n 5.1_o stand_v fast_o in_o the_o liberty_n wherewith_o christ_n have_v make_v we_o free_a and_o be_v not_o entangle_v with_o the_o yoke_n of_o bondage_n every_o man_n conscience_n be_v free_v from_o that_o yoke_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n because_o it_o end_v in_o christ_n second_o the_o conscience_n of_o the_o regenerate_a be_v free_v from_o seek_v justification_n by_o the_o deed_n of_o the_o law_n indeed_o the_o first_o covenant_n be_v by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n he_o that_o do_v they_o shall_v live_v in_o they_o but_o the_o second_o covenant_n speak_v better_a thing_n he_o that_o believe_v shall_v be_v save_v it_o be_v true_a if_o god_n have_v not_o send_v his_o son_n we_o must_v have_v seek_v justification_n by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n though_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o find_v it_o by_o reason_n of_o our_o sin_n yet_o conscience_n be_v bind_v that_o way_n but_o now_o that_o christ_n jesus_n have_v seal_v up_o a_o new_a covenant_n in_o his_o own_o blood_n conscience_n be_v free_v from_o that_o former_a rom._n 3.28_o therefore_o we_o conclude_v that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n without_o the_o deed_n of_o the_o law_n for_o though_o justify_v faith_n never_o be_v without_o the_o sincere_a do_v of_o the_o law_n yet_o the_o deed_n of_o the_o law_n have_v no_o influence_n into_o justification_n conscience_n be_v free_v from_o seek_v justification_n thereby_o three_o the_o conscience_n of_o the_o regenerate_a be_v free_v from_o the_o rigour_n of_o the_o law_n they_o be_v bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o use_v the_o law_n as_o a_o rule_n of_o their_o life_n and_o in_o sincerity_n to_o obey_v it_o but_o be_v not_o bind_v by_o the_o gospel_n to_o the_o rigour_n of_o it_o that_o they_o be_v free_v from_o 6.14_o rom._n 6.14_o and_o so_o they_o be_v not_o under_o the_o law_n but_o under_o

jesus_n christ_n nor_o get_v into_o he_o they_o be_v bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o keep_v it_o though_o they_o can_v they_o can_v sin_v in_o one_o tittle_n but_o conscience_n will_v condemn_v they_o before_o god_n they_o shall_v be_v condemn_v for_o every_o vain_a thought_n for_o every_o idle_a word_n for_o every_o the_o least_o sin_n for_o every_o the_o least_o lust_n for_o any_o the_o least_o omission_n of_o good_a they_o lie_v under_o the_o rigour_n of_o the_o law_n and_o they_o be_v bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o keep_v it_o and_o they_o shall_v be_v countable_a for_o every_o transgression_n because_o they_o be_v under_o the_o law_n but_o the_o conscience_n of_o the_o regenerate_a be_v free_a from_o this_o rigour_n because_o they_o be_v under_o grace_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v deliver_v from_o the_o law_n 7.6_o rom._n 7.6_o the_o lord_n have_v deliver_v they_o by_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v not_o bind_v by_o the_o gospel_n to_o all_o that_o obedience_n that_o the_o law_n in_o rigour_n require_v four_o the_o conscience_n of_o the_o regenerate_a be_v free_v from_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n for_o though_o the_o law_n do_v condemn_v yet_o their_o conscience_n need_v not_o fear_v it_o because_o they_o be_v in_o christ_n there_o be_v no_o condemnation_n to_o those_o that_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n 8.1_o rom._n 8.1_o which_o walk_v not_o after_o the_o flesh_n but_o after_o the_o spirit_n indeed_o those_o that_o be_v not_o regenerate_v not_o ingraff_v into_o christ_n they_o be_v still_o in_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o gunshot_n the_o law_n do_v condemn_v they_o and_o they_o have_v no_o shelter_n and_o their_o conscience_n be_v bind_v by_o it_o and_o they_o shall_v find_v one_o day_n that_o by_o it_o their_o conscience_n will_v condemn_v they_o to_o hell_n it_o may_v be_v now_o for_o the_o present_a their_o conscience_n be_v quiet_a and_o they_o choke_v it_o and_o so_o it_o let_v they_o alone_o yet_o they_o be_v condemn_v in_o conscience_n and_o one_o day_n they_o shall_v find_v it_o but_o the_o regenerate_a be_v by_o christ_n free_v in_o conscience_n from_o all_o this_o condemnation_n thus_o far_o we_o grant_v but_o the_o antinomist_n antinomist_n antinomist_n and_o i_o know_v not_o what_o marcionite_n will_v have_v more_o they_o can_v abide_v to_o hear_v that_o a_o

of_o all_o the_o people_n of_o god_n so_o that_o they_o be_v bind_v to_o make_v it_o a_o rule_n of_o life_n nay_o the_o scripture_n call_v it_o christ_n bond_n whereby_o he_o bind_v his_o people_n

let_v we_o break_v their_o bond_n and_o cast_v away_o their_o cord_n from_o we_o tush_o we_o will_v not_o be_v tie_v by_o his_o law_n nor_o be_v so_o precise_o straitlaced_n with_o such_o
