above_o the_o gentile_n who_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o same_o felicity_n with_o they_o see_v the_o scripture_n declare_v righteousness_n to_o have_v happen_v unto_o abraham_n when_o he_o be_v uncircumcised_a in_o which_o place_n he_o take_v occasion_n to_o entreat_v of_o the_o use_n of_o circumcision_n after_o this_o he_o add_v that_o the_o promise_a salvation_n do_v depend_v upon_o the_o only_a goodness_n of_o god_n for_o if_o it_o depend_v upon_o the_o law_n than_o can_v it_o neither_o bring_v peace_n unto_o our_o conscience_n wherein_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v firm_o root_v neither_o

and_o not_o ourselves_o and_o that_o after_o the_o example_n of_o abraham_n who_o not_o consider_v himself_o do_v whole_o set_v before_o he_o the_o power_n of_o god_n in_o the_o end_n of_o the_o

five_o chapter_n after_o he_o have_v touch_v the_o fruit_n &_o effect_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n he_o be_v almost_o whole_o occupy_v in_o amplification_n which_o serve_v to_o make_v the_o matter_n more_o clear_a for_o by_o a_o argument_n take_v from_o the_o great_a he_o show_v how_o great_a thing_n we_o now_o be_v redeem_v &_o reconcile_v unto_o god_n be_v to_o expect_v &_o

&_o only_o belove_a son_n after_o this_o he_o compare_v sin_n with_o righteousness_n which_o come_v by_o free_a grace_n christ_n with_o adam_n death_n with_o life_n the_o law_n with_o grace_n whereby_o he_o declare_v that_o the_o infinite_a goodness_n of_o god_n do_v overmatch_v our_o sin_n how_o great_a so_o ever_o they_o be_v in_o the_o sixth_o chapter_n he_o come_v unto_o

unto_o the_o thing_n itself_o paul_n affirm_v plain_o that_o our_o sin_n be_v therefore_o do_v away_o by_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n because_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o the_o law_n to_o make_v

furthermore_o understand_v the_o infirmity_n or_o weakness_n of_o the_o law_n as_o the_o apostle_n be_v wont_a to_o use_v the_o word_n astheneias_fw-la not_o only_o for_o a_o little_a weakness_n but_o for_o impotency_n that_o he_o may_v signify_v how_o the_o law_n have_v no_o force_n at_o all_o to_o justify_v thou_o see_v then_o we_o be_v utter_o exclude_v from_o the_o righteousness_n of_o work_n

who_o before_o he_o confess_v to_o be_v graff_v into_o the_o hope_n of_o life_n by_o the_o election_n of_o god_n for_o first_o albeit_o this_o can_v not_o happen_v to_o the_o elect_a yet_o they_o

of_o righteousness_n allure_v we_o by_o the_o sweetness_n of_o his_o grace_n wherein_o our_o salvation_n be_v contain_v and_o withal_o he_o charge_v we_o with_o ingratitude_n unless_o have_v

the_o lenity_n of_o the_o apostle_n spirit_n who_o have_v rather_o deal_v with_o the_o faithful_a by_o admonition_n and_o friendly_a beseechinge_n then_o by_o severe_a commandment_n because_o he_o
