first_o it_o discover_v their_o sin_n second_o it_o stir_v up_o the_o affection_n of_o sin_n in_o they_o not_o of_o itself_o but_o through_o their_o default_n three_o it_o work_v in_o they_o a_o

not_o reform_v do_v ever_o tend_v to_o that_o which_o be_v forbid_v 7._o therefore_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o without_o the_o law_n sin_n be_v dead_a that_o be_v though_o sin_n be_v in_o man_n before_o the_o publish_n of_o the_o law_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o know_v feel_v nor_o perceive_v as_o the_o corrupt_a humour_n in_o man_n body_n which_o lie_v close_o and_o be_v not_o feel_v till_o

work_n of_o the_o law_n in_o unregenerate_a man_n but_o in_o the_o regenerate_a that_o be_v such_o as_o be_v under_o grace_n it_o be_v otherwise_o for_o they_o do_v consent_n unto_o the_o law_n and_o

the_o sight_n of_o god_n last_o it_o be_v their_o schoolmaster_n to_o christ_n father_n whether_o be_v the_o regenerate_v under_o the_o law_n or_o no_o child_n the_o child_n of_o god_n be_v under_o

of_o satan_n and_o sin_n for_o their_o case_n be_v this_o they_o must_v perfect_o keep_v the_o law_n or_o else_o be_v damn_v for_o they_o have_v no_o right_n to_o christ_n in_o who_o only_o the_o law_n be_v satisfy_v we_o see_v therefore_o what_o a_o pitiful_a case_n all_o man_n be_v in_o till_o they_o come_v to_o christ_n and_o be_v find_v in_o he_o father_n what_o difference_n be_v there_o

there_o betwixt_o the_o covenant_n of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o covenant_n of_o the_o gospel_n child_n the_o legal_a covenant_n do_v real_o differ_v from_o the_o evangelicall_a or_o new_a covenant_n of_o grace_n for_o the_o old_a covenant_n of_o the_o law_n be_v conditional_a and_o do_v no_o otherwise_o give_v life_n and_o salvation_n unto_o man_n but_o if_o they_o do_v perform_v it_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o repetition_n of_o that_o which_o god_n make_v to_o adam_n to_o wit_n if_o he_o do_v eat_v of_o the_o forbid_a fruit_n he_o shall_v die_v if_o not_o he_o shall_v live_v even_o so_o if_o we_o keep_v the_o law_n we_o shall_v live_v thereby_o if_o not_o we_o shall_v die_v but_o the_o covenant_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v free_a that_o be_v it_o do_v

the_o covenant_n of_o the_o law_n since_o man_n of_o themselves_o be_v as_o unable_a to_o believe_v the_o gospel_n as_o to_o keep_v the_o law_n child_n god_n have_v promise_v to_o give_v power_n to_o
