rebellion_n against_o it_o i_o say_v this_o keep_v man_n off_o from_o the_o life_n of_o god_n but_o on_o the_o other_o side_n when_o a_o man_n look_v upon_o the_o promise_n he_o begin_v to_o see_v

to_o see_v a_o possibility_n of_o fulfil_v the_o law_n in_o such_o a_o manner_n as_o god_n now_o require_v then_o his_o heart_n melt_v he_o become_v not_o only_o applyable_a to_o the_o commandment_n but_o be_v ready_a to_o delight_v in_o it_o this_o a_o man_n get_v by_o apply_v his_o heart_n to_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n or_o by_o apply_v the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n to_o himself_o that_o very_o apply_v of_o the_o promise_n of_o forgiveness_n i_o say_v it_o beget_v a_o disposition_n in_o the_o heart_n which_o the_o scripture_n call_v a_o new_a life_n that_o even_o as_o you_o see_v the_o sun_n when_o it_o apply_v its_o beam_n to_o a_o fit_o dispose_v matter_n and_o stay_v upon_o it_o when_o it_o pitch_v its_o beam_n upon_o it_o with_o any_o continuance_n it_o begin_v to_o

that_o which_o kill_v fight_v before_o it_o kill_v and_o that_o which_o fight_n must_v needs_o be_v a_o enemy_n so_o than_o the_o commandment_n be_v a_o enemy_n that_o be_v every_o man_n esteem_v it_o as_o a_o enemy_n to_o himself_o and_o therefore_o have_v a_o enemy-like_a affection_n to_o it_o again_o that_o be_v he_o hate_v it_o he_o will_v be_v rid_v of_o it_o he_o wish_v there_o be_v no_o such_o law_n or_o commandment_n he_o desire_v it_o shall_v be_v deal_v with_o as_o he_o will_v have_v a_o enemy_n deal_v with_o he_o will_v have_v it_o utter_o take_v away_o when_o they_o grow_v in_o

will_v have_v another_o there_o be_v contrary_a will_n and_o there_o be_v a_o strive_v between_o they_o the_o one_o strive_v this_o way_n the_o other_o that_o way_n the_o one_o resist_v the_o other_o and_o in_o the_o end_n the_o law_n and_o the_o commandment_n get_v the_o victory_n because_o the_o sting_n of_o the_o law_n be_v sin_n now_o the_o law_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o sin_n as_o a_o straight_a rule_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o crookedness_n for_o without_o the_o law_n there_o shall_v be_v no_o sin_n now_o it_o cause_v sin_n for_o if_o there_o be_v no_o law_n you_o know_v there_o can_v be_v no_o fear_n no_o transgression_n because_o there_o can_v be_v nothing_o against_o which_o the_o transgression_n shall_v come_v this_o sin_n be_v the_o death_n of_o a_o man_n so_o now_o the_o letter_n kill_v but_o come_v now_o to_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n say_v the_o text_n it_o be_v the_o ministration_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o spirit_n give_v life_n that_o be_v when_o a_o man_n look_v on_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n he_o look_v not_o on_o it_o now_o as_o a_o enemy_n as_o he_o do_v before_o upon_o the_o commandment_n but_o he_o see_v in_o it_o much_o love_n and_o much_o friendship_n to_o ward_n he_o he_o see_v god_n intend_v not_o any_o hurt_n any_o evil_n to_o he_o as_o he_o apprehend_v before_o he_o see_v god_n exceed_v kind_n and_o merciful_a and_o

to_o change_v his_o opinion_n both_o of_o god_n and_o of_o all_o his_o law_n and_o precept_n when_o he_o see_v god_n kindness_n towards_o he_o and_o his_o compassion_n and_o readiness_n to_o forgive_v he_o than_o his_o heart_n begin_v to_o relent_v towards_o the_o lord_n again_o he_o begin_v to_o magnify_v god_n goodness_n and_o to_o condemn_v himself_o he_o believe_v those_o promise_n and_o thence_o he_o grow_v up_o in_o love_n towards_o god_n i_o say_v he_o grow_v up_o in_o faith_n and_o love_n and_o in_o this_o act_n of_o faith_n be_v the_o spirit_n infuse_v into_o his_o heart_n this_o spirit_n be_v thus_o infuse_v write_v the_o law_n in_o his_o inward_a pa●ts_n that_o be_v it_o that_o breed_v in_o he_o a_o holy_a disposition_n that_o enable_v he_o in_o some_o measure_n to_o keep_v the_o law_n it_o print_v in_o he_o all_o those_o grace_n that_o give_v he_o strength_n to_o observe_v the_o commandment_n that_o god_n have_v give_v he_o so_o my_o belove_a if_o a_o man_n will_v go_v about_o this_o great_a work_n to_o change_v his_o heart_n and_o to_o change_v his_o life_n let_v he_o not_o go_v about_o it_o as_o a_o moral_a man_n that_o be_v let_v he_o not_o only_o consider_v

that_o be_v let_v he_o believe_v the_o promise_n of_o pardon_n in_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o very_o believe_v of_o those_o promise_n will_v be_v able_a to_o cleanse_v and_o purge_v

the_o covenant_n or_o no_o ans._n you_o shall_v know_v it_o by_o this_o how_o do_v abraham_n know_v whether_o he_o be_v in_o the_o covenant_n or_o how_o will_v you_o know_v whether_o abraham_n or_o any_o other_o be_v say_v the_o text_n abraham_n believe_v god_n and_o therefore_o god_n reckon_v he_o as_o a_o man_n that_o be_v righteous_a and_o accept_v he_o to_o be_v a_o partaker_n of_o the_o covenant_n and_o so_o if_o thou_o believe_v it_o be_v certain_a then_o thou_o be_v within_o the_o covenant_n but_o how_o shall_v a_o man_n know_v that_o gal._n 5._o 5._o neither_o circumcision_n avail_v any_o thing_n nor_o uncircumcision_n but_o faith_n which_o work_v by_o love_n if_o thou_o can_v find_v this_o now_o that_o thou_o be_v able_a to_o take_v jesus_n christ_n to_o take_v he_o as_o a_o lord_n and_o saviour_n thou_o be_v able_a to_o believe_v all_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n thou_o be_v by_o that_o put_v into_o the_o covenant_n but_o how_o shall_v a_o man_n know_v whether_o this_o faith_n be_v right_a or_o no_o for_o you_o know_v there_o be_v a_o false_a dead_a and_o counterfeit_a faith_n if_o it_o be_v right_a thou_o shall_v find_v it_o to_o be_v of_o a_o work_n and_o

proceed_v from_o his_o faith_n it_o be_v a_o argument_n he_o be_v mistake_v he_o be_v deceive_v in_o it_o for_o if_o it_o be_v a_o right_a faith_n it_o will_v work_v there_o will_v be_v life_n and_o motion_n in_o it_o as_o abraham_n faith_n you_o see_v it_o enable_v he_o to_o do_v whatsoever_o god_n appoint_v he_o to_o offer_v his_o son_n to_o excommunicate_a ishmael_n when_o god_n bid_v he_o cast_v he_o out_o though_o he_o love_v ishmael_n exceed_v dear_o yet_o he_o do_v it_o and_o do_v it_o ready_o so_o whatsoever_o god_n bid_v he_o do_v here_o be_v a_o work_a faith_n but_o yet_o a_o

if_o you_o find_v this_o that_o you_o do_v but_o the_o least_o work_n if_o it_o be_v but_o to_o give_v a_o cup_n of_o cold_a water_n and_o do_v it_o out_o of_o love_n if_o you_o abstain_v from_o one_o

will_v fain_o have_v communion_n with_o my_o delight_n be_v in_o he_o therefore_o i_o do_v these_o work_n for_o it_o be_v my_o meat_n and_o drink_v to_o do_v his_o will_n now_o thou_o be_v on_o a_o sure_a ground_n now_o thou_o may_v know_v thou_o be_v within_o the_o covenant_n for_o thou_o believe_v as_o abraham_n do_v and_o therefore_o thou_o be_v within_o the_o covenant_n as_o he_o be_v thou_o may_v know_v it_o because_o thy_o faith_n work_v and_o then_o thou_o may_v know_v that_o it_o work_v right_a because_o it_o be_v do_v by_o love_n well_o yet_o there_o be_v another_o way_n to_o know_v this_o that_o be_v in_o thy_o seed_n say_v the_o text_n shall_v all_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o world_n be_v bless_v if_o a_o man_n be_v then_o ingraft_v into_o this_o seed_n into_o the_o messiah_n once_o than_o he_o shall_v be_v bless_v if_o once_o he_o belong_v to_o he_o well_o how_o shall_v a_o man_n know_v that_o if_o thou_o have_v receive_v the_o spirit_n of_o the_o son_n for_o whosoever_o be_v in_o christ_n have_v receive_v the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n if_o he_o have_v not_o receive_v the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n he_o be_v not_o in_o he_o consider_v whether_o you_o have_v receive_v the_o spirit_n of_o the_o son_n the_o spirit_n of_o the_o promise_a seed_n that_o be_v thou_o be_v make_v like_o christ_n by_o the_o spirit_n for_o the_o spirit_n will_v assimilate_v thou_o and_o

therefore_o consider_v what_o hatred_n you_o have_v of_o sin_n and_o by_o that_o you_o must_v judge_v whether_o you_o have_v a_o clean_a disposition_n or_o no._n you_o must_v not_o think_v any_o man_n be_v perfect_o clean_a and_o pure_a but_o he_o be_v a_o clean_a man_n that_o suffer_v not_o any_o impurity_n to_o take_v quiet_a possession_n of_o his_o heart_n although_o he_o have_v unclean_a

suffer_v it_o not_o to_o set_v up_o table_n in_o the_o temple_n to_o set_v up_o a_o idol_n in_o his_o heart_n he_o suffer_v it_o not_o to_o make_v any_o breach_n of_o covenant_n with_o god_n to_o be_v

thou_o hate_v that_o sin_n all_o the_o while_n a_o man_n that_o be_v of_o a_o impure_a spirit_n of_o a_o impure_a heart_n when_o he_o be_v with_o impure_a company_n when_o he_o delight_v himself_o with_o impure_a thought_n than_o he_o be_v where_o he_o will_v be_v he_o be_v then_o in_o his_o own_o element_n and_o when_o he_o be_v otherwise_o he_o be_v where_o he_o will_v not_o be_v on_o the_o

therefore_o consider_v with_o thyself_o what_o thy_o heart_n be_v in_o this_o case_n whether_o thou_o have_v a_o heart_n that_o hate_v uncleanness_n or_o whether_o thou_o have_v yet_o a_o swinish_a
