when_o we_o come_v to_o discourse_v the_o rest_n that_o the_o soul_n have_v in_o christ_n but_o now_o here_o be_v a_o argument_n to_o drive_v poor_a soul_n to_o christ_n to_o consider_v that_o while_n you_o be_v out_o of_o christ_n your_o endeavour_n be_v not_o accept_v you_o be_v not_o in_o away_o of_o life_n for_o life_n and_o salvation_n it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v have_v in_o the_o condition_n you_o be_v now_o in_o for_o the_o law_n require_v obedience_n it_o must_v have_v the_o work_v do_v you_o can_v be_v but_o either_o under_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n or_o the_o covenant_n of_o

that_o you_o must_v have_v rest_n there_o can_v be_v no_o rest_n but_o a_o grievous_a burden_n upon_o the_o soul_n till_o it_o do_v come_v to_o christ_n if_o it_o do_v understand_v thing_n and_o if_o

this_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o great_a burden_n unto_o the_o soul_n and_o make_v it_o to_o see_v a_o absolute_a necessity_n of_o go_v to_o
christ_n for_o ease_n and_o rest_n four_o the_o burden_n of_o the_o law_n be_v exceed_o great_a in_o this_o respect_n that_o upon_o any_o one_o breach_n of_o the_o law_n the_o soul_n come_v to_o be_v

upon_o any_o one_o breach_n of_o the_o law_n in_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n the_o soul_n come_v to_o be_v so_o break_v as_o to_o loose_v all_o the_o ability_n of_o ever_o keep_v any_o part_n of_o the_o law_n again_o as_o thus_o i_o show_v you_o in_o adam_n adam_n be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o first_o covenant_n of_o work_n of_o the_o law_n now_o adam_n he_o break_v it_o in_o one_o particular_a

all_o their_o ability_n of_o keep_v of_o the_o law_n for_o ever_o except_o god_n come_v and_o create_v any_o ability_n they_o have_v lose_v what_o ability_n be_v give_v at_o first_o in_o their_o creation_n so_o than_o this_o be_v a_o very_a great_a mystery_n that_o one_o by_o do_v a_o thing_n that_o be_v evil_n shall_v weaken_v the_o contrary_a habit_n that_o by_o do_v a_o thing_n that_o be_v

evil_n that_o we_o do_v but_o lose_v all_o habit_n of_o all_o good_a whatsoever_o and_o that_o by_o one_o act_n now_o this_o be_v a_o thing_n above_o nature_n this_o be_v only_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n god_n make_v such_o a_o covenant_n it_o run_v upon_o such_o term_n as_o if_o adam_n do_v but_o sin_n in_o one_o thing_n he_o must_v die_v that_o be_v his_o soul_n as_o

further_o such_o be_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o law_n that_o suppose_v god_n shall_v restore_v we_o all_o to_o be_v as_o perfect_a as_o ever_o adam_n be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o innocency_n void_a of_o all_o sin_n and_o have_v the_o image_n of_o god_n perfect_a and_o then_o god_n shall_v come_v and_o put_v we_o upon_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n again_o i_o say_v if_o we_o than_o shall_v but_o fail_v in_o any_o one_o thing_n it_o will_v break_v we_o so_o as_o we_o shall_v loose_v all_o our_o ability_n to_o perform_v any_o duty_n ever_o after_o this_o be_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o law_n

the_o law_n you_o hear_v dreadful_a threat_n of_o the_o law_n out_o of_o god_n word_n against_o sin_n now_o how_o shall_v thou_o entertain_v these_o threat_n the_o way_n be_v this_o when_o thou_o hear_v such_o threat_n know_v that_o god_n by_o this_o will_v have_v thou_o to_o consider_v what_o his_o mercy_n be_v in_o deliver_v of_o thou_o from_o what_o thou_o have_v deserve_v god_n will_v have_v thou_o to_o consider_v what_o the_o evil_a of_o sin_n be_v in_o itself_o and_o to_o consider_v what_o christ_n have_v do_v god_n will_v have_v thou_o to_o be_v drive_v to_o christ_n by_o this_o mean_n to_o see_v thy_o need_n of_o christ_n to_o bless_v his_o name_n for_o christ_n and_o to_o prize_n christ_n who_o have_v deliver_v thou_o from_o these_o threaten_n a_o believer_n when_o he_o hear_v the_o threat_n of_o the_o law_n be_v like_o a_o man_n that_o stand_v upon_o the_o shore_n when_o there_o be_v a_o grievous_a tempest_n and_o storm_n he_o see_v the_o wave_n rise_v high_a hear_v the_o wind_n blow_v and_o the_o wave_n roar_v but_o he_o stand_v safe_a upon_o the_o haven_n indeed_o he_o be_v in_o the_o storm_n and_o tempest_n but_o god_n have_v bring_v he_o to_o the_o haven_n and_o there_o he_o stand_v and_o bless_v god_n it_o may_v be_v he_o see_v other_o ship_n a_o great_a way_n off_o ready_a to_o be_v split_v upon_o the_o rock_n or_o swallow_v up_o but_o he_o be_v safe_a on_o the_o shore_n so_o it_o shall_v be_v with_o all_o believer_n when_o they_o hear_v the_o threaten_n of_o the_o law_n they_o shall_v entertain_v they_o with_o blessing_n
of_o the_o name_n of_o god_n there_o be_v a_o time_n that_o my_o soul_n be_v under_o these_o as_o well_o as_o any_o but_o now_o the_o lord_n have_v deliver_v i_o and_o bring_v i_o under_o another_o covenant_n bring_v i_o to_o his_o son_n to_o christ_n and_o he_o have_v undertake_v to_o satisfy_v the_o law_n for_o my_o soul_n and_o so_o the_o believer_n stand_v upon_o the_o shore_n and_o praise_n

the_o gospel_n sound_v in_o his_o ear_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o tedious_a and_o grievous_a to_o he_o to_o hear_v the_o dreadful_a threaten_n of_o the_o law_n he_o know_v how_o to_o make_v a_o holy_a use_n of_o they_o his_o heart_n be_v draw_v near_o to_o god_n by_o it_o as_o well_o as_o by_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o gospel_n it_o be_v a_o ill_a sign_n when_o man_n and_o woman_n can_v endure_v to_o hear_v the_o threaten_n of_o the_o law_n a_o dangerous_a sign_n that_o they_o be_v under_o those_o threaten_n if_o they_o be_v not_o under_o they_o it_o will_v not_o be_v troublesome_a to_o they_o to_o hear_v they_o but_o they_o that_o be_v deliver_v from_o they_o they_o know_v how_o to_o make_v use_n of_o they_o many_o man_n and_o woman_n will_v say_v when_o they_o hear_v of_o the_o terror_n of_o the_o law_n what_o do_v this_o but_o harden_v we_o the_o hear_n of_o the_o terror_n of_o the_o law_n do_v more_o harden_v we_o but_o if_o thou_o be_v acquaint_v with_o the_o

the_o law_n we_o be_v to_o learn_v this_o that_o we_o be_v not_o to_o judge_n our_o come_n into_o christ_n nor_o to_o judge_v our_o faith_n by_o the_o law_n by_o our_o come_n to_o christ_n we_o be_v deliver_v from_o the_o law_n therefore_o i_o say_v we_o be_v not_o to_o make_v up_o any_o judgement_n of_o our_o come_n to_o christ_n nor_o to_o judge_v our_o faith_n by_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o law_n though_o the_o propound_v of_o this_o it_o may_v be_v be_v a_o little_a obscure_a at_o first_o yet_o you_o will_v find_v it_o of_o marvellous_a use_n to_o help_v believer_n in_o their_o way_n some_o believer_n very_o ordinary_o especial_o weak_a one_o judge_v of_o their_o come_n to_o christ_n or_o their_o faith_n by_o the_o law_n they_o make_v the_o law_n a_o rule_n of_o their_o faith_n which_o certain_o shall_v not_o be_v for_o if_o by_o faith_n we_o be_v deliver_v from_o the_o law_n than_o it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o the_o law_n can_v be_v a_o rule_n of_o our_o faith_n you_o will_v say_v what_o be_v that_o to_o make_v the_o law_n a_o rule_n of_o our_o faith_n that_o be_v thus_o believer_n think_v that_o because_o their_o faith_n be_v weak_a and_o full_a of_o doubt_n full_a of_o imperfection_n and_o doubt_n therefore_o they_o have_v none_o at_o al._n now_o what_o be_v this_o but_o to_o make_v faith_n itself_o a_o legal_a thing_n for_o indeed_o if_o faith_n be_v legal_a than_o it_o can_v not_o be_v accept_v where_o there_o be_v any_o mixture_n of_o imperfection_n a_o legal_a faith_n can_v never_o be_v accept_v with_o any_o mixture_n of_o doubt_v and_o with_o any_o imperfection_n but_o a_o evangelical_a faith_n can_v be_v accept_v this_o i_o may_v meet_v with_o perhaps_o afterward_o but_o for_o the_o present_a it_o follow_v more_o full_o and_o immediate_o from_o what_o have_v be_v deliver_v from_o our_o rest_n from_o the_o law_n and_o i_o desire_v to_o suggest_v it_o now_o to_o believer_n as_o a_o marvellous_a help_n to_o they_o that_o they_o do_v not_o make_v their_o faith_n legal_a as_o thus_o come_v to_o many_o believer_n that_o be_v full_a of_o doubt_n and_o fear_n and_o why_o do_v they_o not_o believe_v it_o be_v true_a say_v they_o there_o be_v rest_n to_o be_v have_v in_o christ_n and_o much_o to_o be_v have_v in_o this_o i_o but_o this_o be_v to_o believer_n and_o i_o be_o afraid_a i_o be_o not_o a_o believer_n and_o why_o be_v thou_o afraid_a thou_o be_v not_o a_o believer_n because_o of_o such_o and_o such_o sin_n and_o because_o i_o can_v do_v as_o i_o will_v now_o what_o be_v this_o but_o to_o make_v faith_n legal_a now_o faith_n that_o deliver_v we_o from_o the_o law_n of_o all_o grace_n that_o must_v be_v evangelical_a our_o mourning_n for_o sin_n be_v to_o be_v look_v upon_o as_o evangelical_a and_o yet_o some_o believer_n look_v upon_o their_o mourning_n for_o sin_n as_o legal_a they_o think_v god_n will_v not_o accept_v of_o their_o mourning_n why_o because_o they_o can_v mourn_v as_o much_o as_o they_o will_v that_o be_v true_a if_o thou_o be_v under_o the_o law_n than_o no_o mourning_n at_o all_o will_v be_v accept_v as_o under_o the_o law_n but_o now_o thou_o must_v look_v upon_o it_o as_o

the_o law_n and_o not_o as_o evangelical_a this_o be_v a_o great_a hindrance_n to_o they_o but_o now_o much_o more_o be_v it_o to_o
look_v upon_o their_o faith_n as_o legal_a as_o thus_o because_o their_o faith_n do_v not_o come_v up_o so_o full_o to_o the_o perfection_n that_o they_o do_v desire_n yea_o to_o that_o perfection_n that_o the_o law_n require_v in_o any_o thing_n that_o we_o tender_v up_o to_o god_n for_o though_o the_o law_n do_v not_o mention_v any_o thing_n of_o our_o believe_a in_o christ_n yet_o thus_o much_o the_o law_n require_v that_o what_o we_o do_v shall_v be_v tender_v up_o to_o god_n and_o what_o we_o tender_v up_o to_o god_n with_o perfection_n now_o believer_n look_v upon_o what_o they_o

perhaps_o some_o of_o you_o hear_v the_o mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n understand_v this_o that_o as_o god_n be_v the_o fountain_n of_o all_o grace_n so_o it_o must_v be_v convey_v by_o christ_n as_o

if_o it_o never_o see_v any_o thing_n else_o there_o be_v enough_o in_o christ_n to_o help_v against_o sin_n and_o for_o the_o furtherance_n of_o of_o holiness_n that_o that_o be_v discover_v in_o christ_n have_v a_o mighty_a power_n to_o help_v the_o soul_n against_o sin_n and_o to_o further_o it_o in_o the_o way_n of_o holiness_n as_o now_o to_o instance_n the_o mighty_a argument_n that_o there_o be_v in_o christ_n against_o sin_n and_o for_o holiness_n as_o chap._n thirty-nine_o contain_v two_o strong_a argument_n in_o christ_n for_o holiness_n first_o in_o he_o the_o soul_n see_v the_o great_a breach_n between_o it_o and_o god_n by_o reason_n of_o sin_n second_o in_o he_o it_o see_v the_o great_a hatred_n of_o sin_n in_o god_n first_o in_o christ_n there_o the_o foul_a see_v the_o great_a breach_n that_o can_v be_v imagine_v that_o sin_n make_v between_o god_n and_o the_o creature_n it_o be_v true_a when_o we_o preach_v the_o law_n to_o you_o and_o tell_v you_o of_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n that_o be_v due_a to_o sin_n this_o acquaint_v you_o with_o somewhat_o of_o the_o breach_n that_o sin_n make_v between_o god_n and_o you_o and_o this_o may_v terrify_v you_o but_o the_o truth_n be_v the_o breach_n between_o god_n and_o a_o soul_n by_o sin_n be_v never_o thorough_o see_v till_o you_o come_v to_o christ_n the_o soul_n never_o thorough_o see_v sin_n till_o then_o when_o it_o come_v to_o christ_n and_o see_v christ_n indeed_o see_v christ_n so_o as_o one_o that_o have_v union_n with_o he_o than_o it_o understand_v the_o evil_a of_o sin_n after_o another_o manner_n then_o ever_o it_o do_v before_o and_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o faith_n do_v more_o purge_v the_o heart_n from_o sin_n than_o all_o the_o terror_n of_o the_o law_n possible_o can_v do_v yea_o if_o god_n shall_v let_v a_o crevice_n into_o hell_n and_o let_v you_o see_v into_o all_o the_o torment_n that_o be_v there_o they_o can_v not_o discover_v so_o much_o the_o evil_n of_o sin_n to_o you_o as_o when_o you_o come_v to_o have_v a_o real_a sight_n of_o jesus_n christ_n how_o sin_n make_v such_o a_o breach_n between_o god_n and_o we_o as_o can_v be_v make_v up_o no_o other_o way_n but_o the_o son_n of_o god_n must_v come_v and_o take_v upon_o he_o man_n sin_n this_o be_v the_o great_a discovery_n of_o the_o evil_a of_o sin_n that_o possible_o can_v be_v object_n you_o will_v say_v other_o know_v this_o as_o well_o as_o believer_n it_o be_v true_a they_o know_v it_o after_o a_o sort_n but_o none_o can_v know_v this_o thorough_o but_o those_o that_o through_o faith_n have_v the_o real_a sight_n of_o christ_n and_o so_o have_v the_o real_a sight_n of_o the_o evil_a of_o sin_n in_o christ_n second_o another_o strong_a argument_n of_o the_o evil_a of_o sin_n in_o christ_n be_v this_o the_o infinite_a hatred_n of_o sin_n in_o god_n that_o god_n shall_v so_o infinite_o hate_v sin_n that_o he_o will_v not_o spare_v his_o own_o son_n this_o show_v the_o evil_a of_o sin_n we_o hear_v much_o of_o hell_n and_o of_o the_o terror_n of_o the_o law_n now_o when_o i_o come_v to_o consider_v the_o fruit_n of_o god_n hatred_n of_o sin_n in_o his_o son_n this_o show_v i_o a_o great_a deal_n more_o the_o evil_n of_o sin_n and_o therefore_o though_o the_o terror_n of_o the_o law_n may_v restrain_v man_n from_o sin_n i_o but_o when_o the_o soul_n come_v to_o know_v the_o infinite_a wrath_n of_o god_n against_o sin_n that_o he_o will_v give_v his_o son_n to_o satisfy_v for_o sin_n this_o show_v the_o evil_a of_o sin_n and_o this_o show_v the_o infinite_a holiness_n of_o god_n that_o he_o will_v send_v his_o only_a son_n to_o purchase_v holiness_n and_o in_o this_o we_o see_v the_o infinite_a love_n of_o christ_n to_o die_v for_o sin_n the_o infinite_a price_n of_o the_o soul_n to_o purchase_v it_o and_o the_o infinite_a difficulty_n in_o the_o deliverance_n from_o sin_n and_o nothing_o can_v prevail_v upon_o the_o heart_n more_o than_o the_o view_n of_o christ_n there_o be_v so_o many_o thing_n that_o i_o can_v speak_v of_o they_o that_o when_o the_o soul_n come_v to_o christ_n make_v the_o soul_n hate_v sin_n and_o make_v it_o in_o love_n with_o holiness_n the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n in_o any_o common_a way_n have_v as_o much_o power_n to_o restrain_v sin_n as_o any_o thing_n but_o now_o the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n in_o a_o spiritual_a way_n in_o a_o save_a way_n it_o have_v a_o infinite_a efficacy_n in_o it_o and_o the_o truth_n be_v the_o special_a way_n for_o a_o soul_n to_o help_v

much_o conversant_a in_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o there_o consider_v what_o argument_n thou_o may_v draw_v against_o thy_o sin_n they_o be_v poor_a low_a argument_n that_o common_a people_n draw_v against_o their_o sin_n they_o have_v a_o temptation_n to_o sin_n and_o they_o think_v oh_o let_v i_o take_v heed_n i_o do_v not_o do_v it_o for_o my_o master_n and_o mistress_n will_v know_v of_o it_o or_o such_o a_o one_o will_v know_v of_o it_o or_o if_o i_o do_v it_o i_o shall_v be_v bring_v to_o punishment_n these_o be_v poor_a low_a argument_n but_o say_v a_o believer_n oh_o let_v i_o not_o commit_v sin_n why_o it_o be_v that_o that_o bring_v the_o son_n of_o god_n down_o from_o heaven_n to_o be_v make_v a_o curse_n for_o man_n it_o be_v that_o that_o make_v the_o great_a

only_o can_v be_v make_v up_o by_o the_o son_n of_o god_n these_o be_v the_o argument_n that_o a_o believer_n have_v against_o sin_n and_o a_o believer_n be_v conversant_a â—n_n these_o argument_n and_o often_o exercise_v faith_n in_o christ_n they_o be_v make_v real_a to_o the_o soul_n they_o must_v needs_o have_v a_o mighty_a power_n to_o overcome_v any_o corruption_n whatsoever_o as_o we_o read_v in_o the_o gospel_n when_o the_o husband_n man_n that_o let_v out_o the_o vineyard_n send_v for_o fruit_n and_o they_o take_v the_o servant_n and_o beat_v he_o and_o kill_v another_o at_o

have_v rest_n the_o affliction_n of_o sickness_n and_o poverty_n and_o persecution_n and_o dishonour_n and_o trouble_v here_o in_o this_o world_n for_o we_o be_v to_o know_v that_o there_o be_v rest_n in_o christ_n even_o in_o regard_n of_o this_o and_o abundance_n of_o rest_n those_o that_o be_v acquaint_v with_o the_o mystery_n of_o godliness_n and_o the_o way_n of_o god_n grace_n in_o christ_n

this_o be_v spiritual_a and_o they_o have_v little_a skill_n of_o that_o to_o have_v rest_n from_o the_o remain_a corruption_n in_o their_o heart_n this_o be_v spiritual_a still_o and_o they_o have_v no_o skill_n of_o that_o neither_o i_o but_o now_o i_o come_v to_o speak_v of_o that_o which_o all_o of_o you_o will_v be_v sensible_a of_o in_o regard_n of_o outward_a affliction_n i_o that_o be_v somewhat_o that_o the_o heart_n of_o all_o man_n will_v say_v it_o be_v a_o good_a thing_n to_o be_v in_o christ_n to_o have_v rest_n in_o regard_n of_o outward_a affliction_n now_o it_o be_v the_o
