which_o require_v nothing_o but_o faith_n for_o we_o suppose_v as_o the_o truth_n be_v that_o every_o man_n may_v obtain_v his_o justification_n although_o the_o prescript_n of_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n be_v not_o observe_v the_o law_n be_v only_o appropriate_v unto_o the_o jew_n but_o this_o benefit_n come_v only_o from_o god_n the_o father_n in_o and_o by_o jesus_n chryst_n to_o all_o man_n and_o be_v god_n the_o god_n of_o the_o jew_n only_o be_v not_o he_o god_n also_o as_o well_o to_o the_o gentile_n as_o to_o the_o jew_n very_o he_o be_v god_n even_o unto_o they_o both_o wherefore_o see_v he_o be_v god_n unto_o all_o man_n it_o be_v expedient_a that_o his_o benefit_n also_o be_v common_a to_o all_o man_n he_o be_v therefore_o none_o other_o that_o justify_v the_o circumcise_a draw_v man_n from_o the_o confidence_n of_o the_o law_n unto_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o gospel_n than_o he_o that_o justify_v the_o uncircumcised_a call_v they_o from_o the_o worship_v of_o idol_n unto_o the_o same_o true_a service_n and_o perfect_v faith_n in_o chryst_n but_o here_o will_v one_o of_o the_o jew_n say_v unto_o i_o what_o say_v thou_o paul_n if_o it_o be_v true_a that_o thou_o say_v that_o all_o thing_n must_v be_v do_v by_o faith_n than_o thou_o make_v the_o law_n of_o moses_n to_o be_v vain_a and_o unprofitable_a unto_o the_o jew_n god_n forbid_v that_o for_o we_o do_v not_o only_o not_o disallow_v nor_o despise_v the_o law_n but_o we_o do_v also_o confirm_v and_o establish_v the_o law_n declare_v now_o that_o thing_n true_o and_o just_o to_o be_v do_v and_o fulfil_v which_o the_o law_n heretofore_o have_v promise_v to_o come_v to_o pass_v show_v forth_o also_o he_o in_o who_o only_o the_o sum_n of_o the_o law_n be_v whole_o and_o altogether_o comprehend_v neither_o can_v a_o man_n say_v that_o to_o be_v clean_o abolish_v and_o put_v away_o which_o be_v rather_o repair_v and_o bring_v into_o a_o better_a state_n but_o it_o chance_v in_o

throughout_o all_o jewry_n which_o although_o that_o he_o be_v the_o father_n of_o all_o the_o jew_n as_o touch_v his_o flesh_n yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o same_o be_v father_n to_o all_o man_n which_o do_v represent_v he_o in_o the_o similitude_n of_o faith_n 2._o and_o do_v declare_v he_o in_o the_o image_n of_o his_o mind_n and_o not_o of_o his_o body_n for_o circumcision_n which_o as_o i_o say_v before_o be_v first_o give_v unto_o abraham_n as_o a_o earnest_n and_o a_o seal_n and_o as_o one_o will_v say_v a_o privy_a badge_n or_o token_n of_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n by_o which_o only_a badge_n the_o jew_n be_v call_v jew_n yet_o let_v we_o consider_v with_o ourselves_o what_o this_o mighty_a father_n do_v obtain_v for_o the_o scripture_n do_v great_o praise_v and_o commend_v he_o which_o commendation_n &_o praise_n if_o it_o come_v unto_o he_o by_o circumcision_n or_o else_o by_o the_o observance_n of_o other_o thing_n appoint_v in_o moses_n law_n i_o can_v not_o deny_v but_o he_o have_v occasion_n to_o glory_n but_o the_o glory_n be_v not_o with_o god_n but_o with_o man_n and_o why_o with_o man_n very_o because_o he_o have_v the_o bodily_a sign_n &_o note_n whereby_o he_o be_v only_o know_v to_o be_v a_o jew_n and_o why_o not_o with_o god_n because_o the_o praise_n come_v not_o through_o the_o excellency_n of_o faith_n abraham_n which_o be_v the_o very_a only_a thing_n that_o commend_v all_o man_n to_o the_o perfect_v clearness_n of_o the_o face_n of_o god_n but_o abraham_n to_o speak_v more_o of_o he_o obtain_v the_o praise_n of_o justification_n with_o god_n himself_o therefore_o it_o come_v not_o to_o he_o by_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o law_n but_o only_o by_o the_o true_a faith_n which_o all_o the_o jew_n and_o also_o all_o gentile_n shall_v diligent_o search_v for_o as_o the_o love_a child_n of_o faithful_a abraham_n and_o let_v this_o which_o i_o now_o say_v be_v take_v to_o none_o effect_n unless_o the_o holy_a scripture_n do_v true_o approve_v the_o same_o for_o thus_o you_o shall_v read_v in_o the_o book_n of_o genesis_n the_o xu_o chapter_n abraham_n believe_v in_o god_n 2._o and_o his_o belief_n be_v impute_v unto_o he_o for_o his_o justification_n god_n promise_v he_o that_o his_o posterity_n shall_v be_v in_o number_n equal_a to_o the_o star_n of_o heaven_n at_o such_o time_n as_o his_o wife_n be_v barren_a and_o have_v no_o child_n yet_o for_o all_o that_o he_o doubt_v nothing_o at_o all_o trust_v to_o the_o promise_n of_o almighty_a god_n neither_o mark_v he_o what_o it_o be_v that_o be_v promise_v unto_o he_o but_o who_o be_v the_o promiser_n thereof_o and_o so_o forthwith_o he_o be_v repute_v righteous_a not_o by_o circumcision_n at_o which_o time_n he_o have_v not_o receive_v it_o but_o by_o his_o only_a faith_n which_o be_v not_o testify_v of_o man_n but_o of_o god_n himself_o with_o who_o only_a abraham_n wrought_v this_o mystery_n at_o that_o time_n and_o god_n do_v impute_v unto_o he_o his_o justification_n when_o he_o have_v not_o perform_v the_o prescript_n of_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n wherefore_o if_o abraham_n the_o holy_a patriarche_n do_v not_o obtain_v his_o justification_n by_o the_o merit_n of_o circumcision_n but_o before_o circumcision_n by_o the_o commendation_n and_o dignity_n of_o faith_n i_o wonder_v how_o it_o chance_v that_o the_o jew_n trust_v so_o much_o in_o the_o ceremony_n of_o moses_n law_n unto_o who_o it_o be_v give_v but_o for_o a_o time_n also_o i_o great_o marvel_v why_o the_o gentile_n use_v so_o many_o superstitious_a ceremony_n see_v they_o have_v no_o law_n at_o all_o give_v unto_o they_o and_o if_o the_o jew_n receive_v any_o reward_n for_o keep_v of_o the_o law_n it_o seem_v to_o be_v of_o duty_n upon_o the_o covenant_n that_o god_n make_v
