altogether_o needful_a in_o our_o read_v this_o chapter_n to_o carry_v along_o in_o our_o eye_n the_o main_a scope_n and_o design_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o what_o he_o here_o write_v to_o this_o

carry_v a_o complete_a analogy_n with_o the_o former_a and_o two_o follow_a chapter_n of_o this_o epiâ—le_n the_o grand_a scope_n of_o all_o which_o be_v to_o convince_v the_o jew_n of_o his_o sin_n in_o not_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n for_o life_n and_o salvation_n the_o apostle_n in_o this_o epistle_n and_o chapter_n have_v a_o eye_n to_o the_o jew_n great_a argument_n with_o respect_n to_o the_o covenant_n make_v with_o abraham_n which_o argument_n be_v by_o they_o form_v thus_o if_o not_o any_o be_v justify_v but_o by_o faith_n in_o christ_n than_o the_o jew_n though_o the_o natural_a seed_n of_o abraham_n be_v not_o justify_v but_o be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o condemnation_n for_o they_o hate_v christ_n have_v persecute_v and_o slay_v he_o but_o it_o be_v absurd_a to_o conclude_v that_o the_o jew_n be_v not_o justify_v therefore_o man_n may_v be_v justify_v some_o other_o way_n then_o by_o believe_v in_o christ_n and_o the_o minor_a of_o this_o argument_n be_v strengthen_v by_o a_o threefold_a fortification_n which_o the_o jew_n think_v impregnable_a as_o first_o say_v they_o to_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n be_v the_o promise_n make_v and_o if_o they_o be_v not_o justify_v then_o there_o be_v a_o fail_v in_o god_n word_n second_o there_o be_v not_o any_o among_o all_o the_o son_n of_o man_n so_o zealous_a for_o righteousness_n therefore_o they_o must_v needs_o be_v the_o person_n justify_v three_o say_v they_o if_o they_o be_v not_o justify_v then_o have_v god_n cast_v off_o his_o own_o people_n which_o he_o have_v choose_v but_o these_o thing_n can_v be_v so_o therefore_o this_o doctrine_n of_o justification_n by_o faith_n in_o christ_n must_v be_v a_o doctrine_n of_o paul_n devise_v and_o not_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n now_o my_o
