may_v behold_v and_o hate_v the_o turpitude_n and_o deformity_n of_o sin_n from_o this_o one_o effect_n that_o it_o put_v we_o in_o the_o state_n of_o dead_a man_n as_o s._n paul_n speak_v of_o the_o widow_n live_v in_o pleasure_n she_o be_v dead_a even_o while_o she_o live_v a_o spiritual_a death_n in_o a_o natural_a life_n thou_o have_v a_o name_n say_v god_n unto_o the_o church_n of_o sardis_n apocal._n 3.1_o that_o thou_o live_v but_o thou_o be_v dead_a and_o so_o i_o may_v say_v unto_o a_o sinful_a man_n it_o be_v but_o a_o name_n a_o shadow_n of_o life_n which_o thou_o have_v for_o though_o thy_o body_n live_v by_o thy_o soul_n yet_o thy_o soul_n live_v not_o by_o grace_n and_o consequent_o thou_o be_v separate_v from_o god_n the_o author_n and_o fountain_n of_o thy_o life_n thus_o a_o sinner_n be_v far_o from_o god_n and_o god_n be_v far_o from_o a_o sinner_n the_o first_o in_o grace_n the_o second_o in_o mercy_n but_o from_o who_o god_n be_v far_o in_o mercy_n he_o be_v

brief_o as_o i_o can_v it_o may_v be_v a_o question_n why_o not_o before_o be_v now_o turn_v into_o vos_fw-fr before_o he_o say_v god_n love_v we_o to_o wit_n jew_n and_o gentile_n now_o he_o say_v you_o be_v save_v to_o wit_n the_o gentile_n the_o answer_n be_v though_o jew_n and_o gentile_n have_v a_o common_a right_n in_o christ_n yet_o the_o right_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v more_o singular_a than_o we_o and_o in_o order_n at_o the_o least_o before_o we_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o privilege_n as_o i_o show_v you_o before_o whence_o it_o be_v that_o our_o saviour_n himself_o testify_v in_o

paul_n unto_o the_o ungrateful_a jew_n it_o be_v necessary_a that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n shall_v first_o have_v be_v speak_v unto_o you_o but_o see_v you_o put_v it_o from_o you_o and_o judge_v yourselves_o unworthy_a of_o eternal_a life_n lo_o we_o turn_v unto_o the_o gentile_n etc._n etc._n whereupon_o the_o gentile_n glorify_v god_n and_o receive_v the_o gospel_n with_o great_a alacrity_n of_o heart_n that_o so_o it_o may_v be_v verify_v which_o the_o prophet_n declare_v long_o before_o rejoice_v o_o barren_a that_o do_v not_o bear_v break_v forth_o into_o joy_n and_o rejoice_v thou_o that_o do_v not_o travail_v with_o child_n for_o the_o desolate_a have_v more_o child_n than_o the_o marry_a wif●_n esay_n 54.1_o special_o therefore_o the_o gentile_n be_v save_v by_o grace_n but_o by_o what_o grace_n there_o be_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n towards_o we_o which_o respect_v we_o as_o the_o object_n of_o it_o there_o be_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o we_o which_o respect_v we_o as_o the_o subject_n of_o it_o so_o that_o we_o be_v in_o the_o first_o grace_n the_o second_o grace_n be_v in_o us._n it_o be_v the_o first_o therefore_o &_o not_o the_o second_o by_o which_o we_o be_v save_v for_o we_o be_v not_o save_v by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n wrought_v within_o we_o by_o his_o spirit_n but_o show_v unto_o we_o in_o his_o son_n you_o be_v save_v by_o grace_n that_o be_v by_o the_o free_a and_o voluntary_a favour_n of_o god_n the_o father_n in_o jesus_n christ_n his_o son_n for_o the_o grace_n of_o which_o s._n paul_n do_v here_o speak_v be_v refer_v unto_o god_n even_o the_o father_n howsoever_o our_o translation_n supply_v some_o word_n which_o be_v not_o in_o the_o original_a seem_v to_o refer_v it_o unto_o the_o son_n but_o the_o matter_n be_v not_o
