be_v not_o that_o israel_n shall_v do_v it_o and_o be_v justify_v thereby_o which_o after_o man_n fall_n and_o corruption_n be_v impossible_a but_o only_o to_o teach_v they_o and_o we_o what_o be_v

of_o righteousness_n and_o utter_o unable_a to_o perform_v righteousness_n they_o may_v be_v drive_v out_o of_o themselves_o and_o so_o prepare_v to_o receive_v christ_n and_o embrace_v his_o righteousness_n also_o god_n purpose_n and_o counsel_n in_o give_v the_o ceremonial_a law_n be_v not_o that_o man_n shall_v perform_v they_o as_o any_o part_n of_o righteousness_n to_o justification_n neither_o do_v he_o ordain_v they_o to_o be_v of_o themselves_o purgation_n from_o sin_n and_o expiation_n of_o iniquity_n but_o only_o to_o be_v type_n foreshadow_v christ_n and_o his_o all-sufficient_a sacrifice_n and_o seal_n of_o the_o covenant_n which_o do_v seal_v it_o not_o by_o any_o virtue_n in_o they_o but_o by_o virtue_n of_o christ_n which_o they_o signify_v now_o though_o this_o be_v god_n counsel_n and_o purpose_n in_o give_v the_o law_n moral_a and_o ceremonial_a yet_o he_o do_v conceal_v and_o not_o in_o plain_a word_n express_v it_o he_o tell_v they_o not_o that_o he_o mean_v by_o put_v they_o upon_o the_o performance_n of_o the_o law_n to_o make_v they_o find_v out_o their_o own_o weakness_n and_o insufficiency_n and_o thereupon_o flee_v to_o christ_n the_o end_n of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o ceremony_n and_o sacrifice_n but_o contrary_o he_o require_v their_o performance_n of_o the_o law_n for_o the_o obtain_n of_o life_n and_o do_v so_o speak_v as_o though_o it_o have_v be_v possible_a for_o they_o to_o fulfil_v it_o and_o to_o be_v justify_v thereby_o and_o so_o they_o common_o do_v understand_v his_o word_n erroneous_o even_o as_o the_o papist_n do_v at_o this_o day_n think_v that_o god_n will_v never_o have_v command_v they_o to_o do_v the_o law_n if_o he_o have_v not_o know_v that_o it_o be_v in_o their_o power_n to_o do_v it_o as_o he_o command_v and_o this_o be_v the_o first_o cause_n of_o the_o obscurity_n of_o that_o covenant_n the_o second_o cause_n be_v the_o mixture_n of_o the_o legal_a part_n of_o the_o covenant_n with_o the_o evangelical_a and_o the_o join_n of_o they_o both_o as_o it_o be_v in_o one_o continue_a speech_n for_o first_o god_n require_v by_o the_o moral_a law_n that_o they_o shall_v do_v it_o for_o the_o obtain_n of_o life_n then_o immediate_o he_o add_v unto_o it_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n and_o ordain_v sacrifice_n for_o sin_n which_o do_v declare_v they_o to_o be_v

death_n and_o cut_v off_o so_o that_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n do_v still_o imagine_v themselves_o to_o be_v in_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n and_o from_o that_o manner_n of_o speech_n use_v by_o god_n and_o from_o the_o title_n of_o law_n and_o statute_n which_o god_n give_v to_o the_o ceremony_n and_o from_o the_o word_n before_o go_v they_o gather_v that_o the_o sacrifice_n oblation_n and_o other_o rite_n be_v rather_o law_n to_o be_v observe_v for_o righteousness_n than_o seal_v of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o sign_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o righteousness_n they_o think_v the_o use_n of_o they_o to_o consist_v in_o do_v not_o in_o signify_v and_o stir_v up_o of_o faith_n to_o lay_v hold_n on_o christ_n and_o this_o be_v a_o second_o cause_n of_o the_o darkness_n of_o that_o covenant_n the_o three_o cause_n be_v the_o great_a penury_n and_o scarcity_n of_o evangelical_a promise_n in_o that_o covenant_n and_o the_o great_a inequality_n and_o disproportion_n which_o be_v between_o they_o and_o the_o legal_a commandment_n of_o work_n for_o in_o that_o covenant_n we_o find_v few_o promise_n of_o life_n and_o salvation_n but_o only_o upon_o condition_n of_o work_n christ_n be_v very_o seldom_o point_v at_o in_o plain_a word_n the_o evangelical_a promise_n as_o they_o be_v rare_a and_o very_a few_o in_o all_o the_o book_n of_o the_o law_n which_o god_n give_v

they_o thus_o if_o we_o understand_v these_o word_n in_o the_o evangelical_a sense_n we_o can_v be_v deceive_v but_o may_v know_v the_o truth_n and_o how_o to_o answer_v all_o gainsayer_n i_o can_v bring_v many_o instance_n of_o this_o nature_n but_o these_o be_v sufficient_a to_o show_v that_o before_o we_o can_v sufficient_o expound_v and_o right_o understand_v the_o gospel_n it_o be_v meet_a that_o we_o shall_v know_v and_o be_v able_a to_o show_v the_o nature_n and_o also_o the_o agreement_n and_o difference_n between_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n and_o between_o the_o old_a and_o
