Thirdly,

Fourthly,

Becaufe

that the

of

his

Government,

it

is

fpirituall

and heavenly,

not in

an

outward

way.

And then

Fifthly,

Becaufe

it

will certainly bring both

Therefore the

of

the

is

call'd the

Chrift

is

the King,

and

the

of

it

would

be

very

large

to

open

in the perticulars,

there

is

infinite bleflednefle

in

this

Kingdome

of

For

firft,'Tis Chria

that

gives

thee

Lawes,

if

brought under the

Rate

of the Gofpell to

be

a

by

being

a

Beleaver,

I

he gives

thee

thy

lawes now thou haft

them

from

the

hand of

a

Mediator

:

The

Jewes

had

their laves

(

the

ten Commandements)

from

the

hand

of

a

mediator,

from

Mofes

.

But

thou

haft

the

law

for

the

guiding

and

ordering

of thee

from,

the

hand

of Jefus

Chriff,

It's

true,

the

fame

thing that

Mofes

did

require

men

then,

was

that that

Jefus

Chrif+

gave

to them,

and

Mofes

wife he

was

a

kind

of type

of Chrifl

even

in

that, but

thou

haft

them

more fully from

the

hind of

a

Mediator,

from

the

hand

of

Chrit+,

(

the

law)

,

for

the guiding

and

ordering of

thy

life:

,and

that

is

a

great difpute

about

the law

now, which

truly

bath

in

it to

edification,

viz.

Whether

we have our

now

from

Mofes

or from

Chrif+,

and

fo

that

law,

when

it

comes

to

a

is

this, that

we

are

delivered

from

the

law

as

it

was

given.

by

Mofes

:

why

what's

that

if

we

be bound

to the

fame

thing

that

Mofes

did

command, and by

as f+rong

bonds

as

thofe,were that liv'd

in

the time of the law

:

what great

whether we

or

no,

we have

it,andare

bound

to

it

by

as

if it
