of_o a_o apostle_n but_o the_o fashion_n of_o swear_v which_o the_o saint_n use_v must_v be_v mark_v of_o we_o that_o we_o may_v understande_v that_o with_o a_o oath_n we_o do_v nothing_o else_o but_o

convenient_a moreover_o the_o contention_n with_o the_o jew_n be_v concern_v the_o law_n paul_n than_o have_v rather_o by_o fight_v with_o they_o hand_n to_o hand_n as_o i_o may_v say_v wound_v they_o

it_o convenient_a that_o paul_n see_v the_o false_a apostle_n contend_v about_o ceremony_n only_o shall_v apprehend_v or_o take_v hold_v of_o no_o more_o than_o they_o speak_v of_o but_o they_o consider_v not_o that_o this_o be_v the_o very_a cause_n why_o he_o do_v so_o sharp_o contend_v with_o they_o for_o that_o that_o doctrine_n do_v draw_v a_o long_a train_n than_o at_o the_o first_o sight_n it_o do_v show_v for_o it_o will_v not_o have_v be_v so_o grievous_a to_o paul_n to_o have_v have_v ceremony_n observe_v as_o to_o have_v the_o confidence_n and_o glory_n of_o salvation_n ascribe_v unto_o work_n as_o when_o we_o contend_v about_o the_o forbid_v of_o eat_a flesh_n except_o upon_o certain_a day_n we_o do_v not_o respect_v so_o much_o how_o great_a a_o matter_n it_o be_v to_o forbid_v the_o eat_n of_o flesh_n as_o we_o be_v careful_a concern_v the_o snare_n of_o the_o conscience_n therefore_o paul_n do_v not_o stray_v beside_o the_o cause_n or_o matter_n when_o as_o he_o frame_v his_o disputation_n of_o the_o whole_a law_n although_o the_o false_a apostle_n do_v only_o contend_v about_o ceremony_n for_o therefore_o do_v they_o urge_v ceremony_n that_o man_n shall_v seek_v salvation_n in_o the_o keep_n of_o the_o law_n because_o forsooth_o they_o feign_v it_o to_o be_v a_o meritorious_a worship_v or_o service_n wherefore_o paul_n do_v not_o lay_v against_o they_o the_o law_n moral_a but_o the_o only_a grace_n of_o christ_n neither_o be_v the_o whole_a epistle_n spend_v in_o this_o universal_a contention_n for_o he_o come_v at_o length_n to_o

first_o be_v dispatch_v the_o papist_n at_o these_o day_n because_o it_o greeve_v they_o if_o we_o wring_v out_o of_o they_o that_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n only_o do_v hardly_o grant_v moral_a thing_n to_o be_v comprehend_v under_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n yea_o many_o of_o they_o object_v the_o gloze_n of_o hierome_n think_v they_o have_v handle_v the_o matter_n very_o handsome_o but_o the_o text_n will_v evident_o show_v that_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o moral_a law_n also_o but_o by_o the_o faith_n he_o do_v not_o mean_a ceremony_n only_o or_o any_o manner_n work_v

between_o they_o and_o than_o paul_n have_v in_o vain_a trouble_v the_o church_n with_o so_o hateful_a a_o contention_n let_v this_o than_o remain_v determine_v that_o in_o this_o place_n there_o be_v

we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n only_o whereby_o it_o appear_v how_o childish_o the_o papist_n at_o these_o day_n do_v dote_v brawl_v with_o we_o about_o the_o word_n only_o as_o though_o it_o be_v we_o but_o forsooth_o the_o papist_n divinity_n be_v unknown_a to_o paul_n they_o say_v a_o man_n be_v iustify_v by_o faith_n but_o they_o place_v part_n of_o the_o iustifi_n in_o work_n paul_n be_v
