IF thou wilt enter into life keep the commandments. Math. xix. First remember that when God commandeth 1us to do one thing, he doth it not therefore, because that we of our selves are able to do that he commandeth, but that by the law we might see, & know our horrible damnation and captivity under sin, and therefore should repent and come to Christ, & receive mercy & the spirit of God to loose us, strength us, & to make us able to do Gods will which is the law. Now when he saith if thou wilt enter into life keep the commandments, is as much to say, as 2he that keepeth the commandments is entered into life, for except a man have first the spirit of life in him by Christs purchasing, it is impossible for him to keep the commandments, or that his hart should be loose, or at liberty to lust after them, for of nature we are enemies to the law of God.
IF thou wilt enter into lyfe kepe the commaundements. Math. xix. First remember that when God commaundeth 1vs to do one thyng, he doth it not therfore, because that we of our selues are able to do that he cōmaundeth, but that by the law we might see, & know our horrible damnation and captiuitie vnder sinne, and therfore should repēt and come to Christ, & receaue mercy & the spirite of God to loose vs, strength vs, & to make vs able to do Gods wil which is the law. Now when he sayth if thou wilt enter into lyfe kepe the cō maundementes, is as much to say, as 2he that kepeth the commaundementes is entred into life, for except a mā haue first the spirite of lyfe in hym by Christes purchasyng, it is impossible for him to kepe the commaundements, or that his hart should be loose, or at libertie to lust after them, for of nature we are enemyes to the law of God.
