upon_o the_o word_n unto_o the_o present_a place_n therefore_o this_o shall_v be_v the_o application_n if_o all_o the_o sin_n of_o mortal_a man_n must_v serve_v to_o the_o set_v forth_o of_o the_o

the_o meaning_n of_o the_o prophet_n 5_o now_o if_o our_o unrighteousness_n commend_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n what_o shall_v we_o say_v be_v god_n unrighteous_a which_o add_v wrath_n i_o

who_o damnation_n be_v just_a 5_o now_o if_o our_o unrighteousness_n although_o this_o be_v a_o digression_n from_o the_o principal_a cause_n yet_o be_v it_o necessary_a the_o apostle_n shall_v add_v

which_o he_o know_v to_o be_v voluntarilye_o seek_v for_o of_o they_o for_o see_v they_o be_v ready_a to_o take_v every_o occasion_n that_o may_v make_v to_o the_o diffamation_n of_o the_o gospel_n they_o have_v in_o the_o testimony_n of_o david_n which_o they_o may_v catch_v to_o the_o frame_n of_o their_o false_a detraction_n if_o god_n seek_v nothing_o else_o at_o the_o hand_n of_o man_n then_o to_o be_v glorify_v of_o they_o wherefore_o do_v he_o punish_v they_o when_o they_o offend_v see_v by_o their_o offence_n they_o glorify_v he_o undoubted_o he_o be_v angry_a without_o cause_n if_o he_o take_v occasion_n at_o that_o to_o be_v angry_a whereby_o he_o be_v glorify_v neither_o be_v it_o to_o be_v doubt_v but_o this_o surmise_a accusation_n be_v vulgar_a and_o very_o common_a

the_o punishment_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v be_v god_n unrighteous_a in_o punish_v iniquity_n which_o set_v forth_o his_o righteousness_n 6_o let_v it_o not_o be_v so_o in_o staunch_a this_o

this_o objection_n also_o true_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o that_o be_v a_o foolish_a glory_n which_o the_o jew_n have_v therein_o notwithstanding_o this_o doubt_n yet_o remain_v to_o what_o end_n
