or_o moon_n in_o the_o heaven_n for_o god_n have_v not_o leave_v himself_o without_o witness_n in_o that_o he_o do_v good_a and_o give_v we_o fruitful_a season_n these_o be_v effect_n of_o his_o

which_o must_v be_v understand_v without_o dispute_n in_o regard_n to_o they_o and_o their_o posterity_n now_o when_o such_o a_o law_n have_v be_v promulgate_v to_o adam_n and_o noah_n as_o belong_v to_o all_o the_o world_n be_v to_o come_v of_o they_o it_o must_v be_v prove_v that_o this_o law_n be_v or_o have_v be_v somewhere_o or_o at_o some_o time_n again_o repeal_v by_o god_n or_o else_o must_v every_o man_n and_o woman_n in_o the_o world_n be_v under_o this_o government_n of_o god_n according_a to_o it_o and_o consequent_o be_v in_o a_o capacity_n of_o salvation_n i_o will_v to_o these_o reason_n add_v one_o syllogism_n it_o be_v not_o the_o hearer_n of_o the_o law_n but_o doer_n shall_v be_v justify_v this_o be_v express_v in_o one_o verse_n of_o the_o second_o to_o the_o romon_n but_o same_o heathen_a be_v doer_n of_o the_o law_n though_o not_o hearer_n of_o it_o this_o be_v affirm_v in_o the_o next_o verse_n for_o when_o the_o gentile_n which_o have_v not_o the_o law_n do_v by_o nature_n the_o thing_n contain_v in_o the_o law_n with_o the_o rest_n follow_v ergo_fw-la some_o heathen_a be_v justify_v and_o save_v if_o any_o cavil_n and_o say_v that_o no_o man_n be_v a_o doer_n of_o the_o law_n he_o must_v be_v answer_v that_o the_o apostle_n here_o speak_v of_o such_o a_o do_v only_o as_o be_v suppose_v to_o be_v among_o the_o jew_n that_o be_v godly_a or_o jew_n inward_o in_o the_o verse_n after_o and_o i_o renew_v my_o argument_n they_o that_o be_v doer_n of_o the_o law_n according_a to_o the_o sense_n of_o such_o text_n as_o make_v the_o keep_v the_o commandment_n of_o god_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n such_o as_o when_o christ_n say_v if_o thou_o will_v enter_v into_o life_n keep_v the_o commandment_n and_o such_o as_o when_o the_o apostle_n say_v they_o that_o by_o patient_a continuance_n in_o well-doing_n seek_v for_o glory_n shall_v have_v eternal_a life_n that_o be_v they_o who_o be_v doer_n of_o it_o as_o all_o that_o be_v jew_n

the_o law_n but_o according_a to_o acceptation_n by_o the_o equity_n of_o the_o gospel_n they_o i_o say_v shall_v be_v justify_v and_o save_v but_o some_o heathen_a be_v doer_n of_o the_o law_n in_o this_o sense_n which_o be_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o apostle_n ergo_fw-la some_o heathen_a be_v justify_v and_o save_v i_o confirm_v the_o minor_a by_o the_o word_n ensue_v that_o we_o may_v be_v sure_o we_o have_v the_o mind_n of_o the_o apostle_n therefore_o if_o the_o uncircumcision_n keep_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n shall_v not_o his_o uncircumcision_n be_v count_v for_o circumcision_n and_o shall_v not_o uncircumcision_n which_o be_v by_o nature_n if_o it_o fulfil_v the_o law_n judge_v thou_o who_o by_o the_o letter_n and_o circumcision_n do_v break_v the_o law_n it_o follow_v that_o such_o as_o these_o therefore_o be_v jew_n inward_o and_o in_o the_o spirit_n though_o they_o be_v not_o outward_a jew_n or_o in_o the_o flesh_n or_o of_o the_o circumcision_n as_o be_v apparent_a in_o the_o word_n already_o and_o the_o last_o verse_n they_o that_o be_v jew_n inward_o and_o in_o the_o spirit_n then_o i_o follow_v my_o argument_n though_o not_o outward_o so_o and_o in_o the_o flesh_n do_v fulfil_v the_o law_n in_o the_o sense_n of_o this_o place_n and_o be_v justify_v but_o such_o be_v some_o of_o the_o heathen_a here_o according_a to_o the_o apostle_n ergo_fw-la some_o heathen_a be_v justify_v and_o save_v and_o what_o can_v be_v desire_v more_o full_a and_o convince_a if_o it_o be_v not_o for_o the_o first_o verse_n which_o follow_v in_o the_o next_o chapter_n which_o do_v yet_o add_v such_o abound_a confirmation_n to_o it_o as_o i_o must_v profess_v myself_o perfect_o strike_v with_o the_o evidence_n as_o with_o a_o beam_n of_o

never_o to_o be_v withstand_v or_o any_o more_o to_o be_v doubt_v what_o advantage_n then_o have_v the_o jew_n above_o the_o gentile_a these_o be_v the_o word_n it_o can_v be_v imagine_v by_o i_o now_o that_o this_o question_n can_v be_v offer_v after_o he_o have_v say_v thus_o much_o if_o there_o be_v such_o a_o difference_n between_o these_o two_o as_o that_o one_o of_o they_o only_o be_v under_o a_o possibility_n of_o salvation_n it_o be_v bring_v in_o as_o a_o objection_n to_o his_o forego_n assertion_n in_o this_o sense_n that_o if_o this_o be_v true_a there_o appear_v no_o

shall_v have_v the_o benefit_n and_o be_v save_v as_o well_o as_o he_o that_o have_v it_o write_v in_o the_o bible_n the_o apostle_n do_v as_o good_a as_o answer_v this_o be_v true_a yet_o be_v there_o a_o difference_n chief_o because_o that_o unto_o the_o jew_n be_v commit_v the_o oracle_n of_o god_n i_o interpret_v not_o these_o word_n but_o give_v this_o paraphrase_n the_o heathen_a be_v under_o the_o same_o law_n of_o grace_n for_o life_n as_o the_o jew_n but_o the_o jew_n advantage_n be_v that_o they_o have_v it_o in_o the_o second_o promulgation_n with_o this_o privilege_n of_o

this_o be_v the_o chief_a advantage_n the_o jew_n have_v over_o the_o gentile_a that_o one_o have_v the_o oracle_n of_o god_n and_o the_o other_o have_v not_o then_o be_v there_o not_o this_o difference_n between_o they_o as_o my_o gentleman_n do_v make_v that_o one_o be_v only_o in_o a_o state_n of_o nature_n and_o the_o other_o in_o a_o state_n of_o grace_n or_o that_o one_o be_v in_o a_o capacity_n and_o the_o other_o under_o a_o impossibility_n of_o salvation_n for_o this_o be_v a_o advantage_n of_o a_o far_o great_a nature_n but_o this_o be_v the_o chief_a advantage_n chief_o because_o ergo._n the_o objection_n against_o this_o doctrine_n be_v two_o the_o one_o be_v from_o the_o scripture_n which_o in_o many_o place_n in_o the_o new-testament_n do_v require_v choir_n faith_n in_o christ_n or_o believe_v the_o gospel_n as_o the_o condition_n of_o salvation_n he_o that_o believe_v not_o shall_v be_v damn_v i_o answer_v as_o the_o apostle_n say_v of_o the_o law_n now_o we_o know_v that_o whatsoever_o thing_n the_o law_n say_v it_o say_v to_o they_o that_o be_v under_o the_o law_n so_o say_v i_o of_o the_o gospel_n whatsoever_o thing_n of_o this_o kind_a the_o gospel_n say_v it_o say_v to_o those_o that_o be_v under_o the_o gospel_n where_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v and_o the_o revelation_n be_v sufficient_a so_o that_o man_n wilful_o reject_v it_o such_o be_v leave_v without_o excuse_n the_o case_n of_o such_o be_v dangerous_a indeed_o and_o these_o text_n applicable_a to_o they_o if_o you_o believe_v not_o that_o i_o be_o he_o you_o shall_v die_v in_o your_o sin_n but_o as_o for_o those_o who_o never_o hear_v the_o gospel_n or_o when_o the_o revelation_n have_v be_v insufficient_a for_o such_o conviction_n the_o case_n i_o hope_v be_v otherwife_n the_o case_n be_v i_o think_v as_o i_o have_v say_v and_o our_o good_a god_n will_v not_o require_v of_o any_o more_o than_o he_o have_v give_v the_o other_o objection_n be_v from_o the_o authority_n of_o man_n or_o of_o the_o church_n more_o general_o that_o condemn_v this_o opinion_n but_o i_o count_v the_o testimony_n of_o christian_n in_o this_o point_n be_v for_o themselves_o and_o so_o partial_a i_o suppose_v it_o take_v again_o upon_o trust_n and_o follow_v by_o the_o most_o for_o want_n of_o light_n i_o believe_v also_o that_o if_o they_o have_v have_v but_o this_o
