yet_o we_o think_v we_o have_v one_o shift_n to_o escape_v this_o punishment_n which_o we_o persuade_v ourselves_o will_v deliver_v we_o when_o all_o other_o help_v fail_v and_o that_o be_v this_o we_o will_v pray_v unto_o god_n and_o he_o will_v delyver_v we_o out_o of_o all_o adversity_n he_o have_v promise_v he_o will_v sure_o perform_v it_o 50.15_o psal_n 50.15_o and_o true_a it_o be_v god_n have_v promise_v to_o hear_v and_o delyver_v all_o those_o which_o call_v upon_o he_o in_o their_o trouble_n for_o he_o be_v nigh_o to_o all_o such_o as_o call_v upon_o he_o 145.18_o psal_n 145.18_o so_o it_o be_v do_v in_o truth_n but_o if_o we_o will_v have_v our_o prayer_n hear_v there_o be_v diverse_a thing_n which_o we_o must_v observe_v in_o prayer_n among_o which_o this_o be_v not_o the_o least_o we_o must_v take_v heed_n that_o we_o be_v not_o despiser_n of_o his_o word_n for_o he_o that_o do_v remove_v his_o ear_n from_o hear_v of_o the_o law_n 28.9_o pro._n 28.9_o his_o prayer_n shall_v be_v abhommable_a say_v solomon_n and_o this_o be_v a_o grievous_a plague_n when_o we_o be_v not_o only_o in_o god_n displeasure_n but_o also_o he_o have_v deprive_v we_o of_o those_o help_n whereby_o we_o shall_v again_o be_v restore_v into_o his_o favour_n well_o it_o be_v but_o thus_o much_o that_o paul_n will_v have_v we_o to_o learn_v in_o this_o point_n the_o jew_n have_v the_o word_n preach_v among_o they_o but_o this_o do_v not_o prosit_fw-la they_o because_o they_o regard_v not_o to_o hear_v or_o follow_v the_o same_o if_o we_o make_v this_o our_o own_o case_n it_o be_v thus_o with_o we_o we_o have_v the_o word_n preach_v god_n be_v thank_v for_o it_o and_o i_o pray_v god_n continue_v it_o as_o no_o doubt_n he_o will_v if_o our_o wickedness_n do_v not_o compel_v he_o in_o justice_n to_o take_v it_o from_o we_o but_o if_o we_o be_v despiser_n of_o his_o word_n and_o that_o either_o we_o be_v not_o careful_a to_o hear_v it_o or_o diligent_a to_o obey_v it_o this_o word_n god_n will_v take_v from_o we_o and_o give_v it_o to_o some_o other_o nation_n which_o will_v bring_v forth_o fruit_n worthy_a of_o the_o preach_n of_o this_o word_n and_o not_o only_o this_o but_o he_o will_v punish_v we_o either_o by_o the_o sword_n of_o our_o enemy_n by_o hardness_n of_o heart_n by_o fall_v into_o heresy_n and_o false_a opinion_n against_o god_n or_o some_o way_n as_o shall_v seem_v best_a unto_o he_o and_o then_o all_o our_o shift_n shall_v not_o help_v no_o if_o we_o will_v say_v with_o the_o jew_n we_o have_v hear_v the_o word_n we_o shall_v have_v this_o answer_n it_o be_v nothing_o to_o hear_v unless_o we_o be_v obedient_a and_o faithful_a yet_o if_o we_o can_v say_v we_o have_v prophesy_v in_o thy_o name_n and_o in_o thy_o name_n have_v we_o cast_v out_o deville_n and_o wrought_v miracle_n yet_o if_o this_o be_v not_o join_v with_o faith_n and_o obedience_n it_o have_v but_o this_o reward_n depart_v from_o i_o you_o worker_n of_o iniquity_n i_o know_v you_o not_o it_o follow_v in_o the_o nineteeen_o verse_n and_o so_o forth_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o chapter_n for_o i_o must_v go_v over_o it_o with_o speed_n but_o i_o demand_v do_v not_o israel_n know_v god_n etc._n etc._n paul_n have_v grant_v that_o israel_n have_v the_o word_n and_o yet_o they_o be_v reject_v because_o they_o contemn_v the_o same_o word_n but_o this_o will_v not_o satisfy_v the_o jew_n but_o they_o will_v yet_o have_v a_o other_o fling_n at_o paul_n and_o that_o be_v this_o thou_o tell_v we_o say_v they_o that_o notwithstanding_o we_o have_v the_o word_n preach_v yet_o be_v we_o reject_v just_o because_o we_o hear_v not_o with_o fruit_n but_o tell_v we_o this_o now_o do_v not_o israel_n know_v god_n do_v not_o israel_n hear_v profitable_o if_o thou_o will_v deny_v it_o 76.1_o psal_n 76.1_o and_o say_v israel_n do_v not_o know_v david_n will_v convince_v thou_o who_o say_v god_n be_v know_v in_o juda_n his_o name_n be_v great_a in_o israel_n but_o if_o thou_o will_v confess_v that_o israel_n do_v know_v god_n then_o how_o can_v thou_o say_v true_o that_o we_o be_v cast_v off_o of_o god_n because_o have_v the_o word_n we_o bring_v not_o forth_o the_o fruit_n thereof_o and_o here_o they_o think_v they_o have_v drive_v paul_n into_o a_o strait_n but_o paul_n answer_v this_o very_a well_o &_o in_o many_o word_n the_o sum_n of_o his_o answer_n be_v that_o there_o be_v a_o few_o in_o israel_n which_o do_v he_o be_v with_o fruit_n and_o know_v god_n and_o they_o be_v not_o reject_v neither_o do_v the_o apostle_n here_o speak_v of_o they_o but_o for_o the_o most_o part_n the_o jew_n be_v wicked_a and_o rebellious_a despiser_n of_o god_n and_o his_o word_n and_o therefore_o be_v just_o cast_v off_o so_o then_o paul_n do_v answer_v thus_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v now_o cut_v off_o by_o god_n justice_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v the_o visible_a church_n of_o god_n as_o before_o but_o not_o every_o particular_a man_n cut_v off_o for_o god_n have_v still_o reserve_v unto_o himself_o a_o number_n according_a to_o the_o election_n of_o grace_n which_o no_o doubt_n shall_v be_v save_v i_o may_v not_o if_o i_o will_v nor_o i_o need_v not_o if_o i_o may_v to_o stand_v upon_o the_o substance_n of_o this_o answer_n namely_o to_o show_v how_o it_o be_v say_v that_o israel_n be_v cut_v off_o and_o yet_o god_n have_v his_o church_n in_o israel_n it_o have_v be_v handle_v at_o large_a in_o this_o chapter_n already_o but_o will_v fall_v out_o more_o plain_a in_o the_o chapter_n follow_v as_o will_v well_o appear_v in_o the_o next_o lecture_n for_o the_o manner_n of_o his_o answer_n paul_n fear_v lest_o by_o tell_v the_o reiecit_v of_o the_o jew_n he_o shall_v grow_v in_o mislike_v and_o hatred_n with_o they_o will_v not_o answer_v in_o his_o own_o word_n but_o in_o the_o word_n of_o moses_n &_o esay_n his_o first_o place_n be_v in_o deut._n 32._o for_o 21._o second_o and_o third_o in_o the_o beegin_n of_o the_o 65._o chapter_n of_o esaye_n there_o be_v diverse_a thing_n herein_o to_o be_v consider_v which_o i_o must_v but_o name_n of_o the_o gentile_n he_o say_v first_o that_o they_o be_v not_o a_o nation_n or_o his_o nation_n doubt_v less_o they_o be_v a_o great_a people_n and_o such_o a_o people_n as_o have_v great_a authority_n large_a dominion_n &_o great_a wealth_n and_o yet_o because_o they_o have_v not_o the_o knowledge_n &_o service_n of_o god_n moses_n say_v they_o be_v not_o a_o people_n to_o teach_v we_o what_o it_o be_v that_o chief_o be_v to_o be_v commend_v in_o city_n town_n &_o country_n it_o be_v not_o large_a border_n great_a dominion_n ample_a privilege_n much_o wealth_n and_o such_o like_a no_o these_o be_v in_o the_o heathen_a and_o yet_o moses_n say_v they_o be_v not_o a_o people_n or_o not_o god_n people_n david_n do_v commend_v zion_n not_o for_o the_o strength_n thereof_o 15.1_o psal_n 15.1_o or_o much_o people_n or_o great_a privilege_n which_o thing_n be_v plentiful_a in_o the_o city_n but_o he_o do_v commend_v it_o because_o there_o be_v that_o tabernacle_n there_o man_n do_v assemble_v themselves_o to_o hear_v the_o law_n read_v &_o expound_v &_o to_o do_v unto_o god_n such_o service_n as_o he_o require_v i_o deny_v not_o but_o those_o thing_n be_v good_a &_o creact_v for_o the_o great_a benefit_n of_o god_n child_n but_o comparable_a to_o the_o have_v and_o use_n of_o god_n word_n and_o therefore_o howsoever_o we_o do_v for_o these_o thing_n our_o chief_a care_n must_v be_v that_o we_o may_v enjoy_v the_o use_n of_o god_n law_n for_o without_o that_o we_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o be_v count_v the_o people_n of_o god_n and_o let_v this_o drive_v we_o to_o be_v thankful_a unto_o god_n who_o have_v bestow_v upon_o we_o this_o benefit_n most_o inestimable_a and_o have_v deny_v it_o to_o other_o nation_n but_o i_o may_v not_o prosecute_v this_o second_o he_o say_v of_o the_o gentile_n that_o they_o be_v a_o foolish_a nation_n doubtless_o the_o jew_n be_v never_o comparable_a to_o they_o in_o worldly_a wisdom_n their_o wit_n be_v wonder_v at_o every_o where_o both_o for_o find_v out_o what_o be_v good_a and_o ill_a in_o man_n life_n for_o look_v so_o near_o into_o the_o secret_a work_n of_o god_n for_o make_v of_o very_o exquisite_a law_n &_o also_o for_o many_o other_o excellent_a thing_n wherein_o they_o be_v very_o wise_a and_o yet_o because_o they_o have_v not_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n by_o his_o word_n therefore_o do_v moses_n call_v they_o a_o foolish_a nation_n to_o teach_v we_o not_o to_o stand_v too_o much_o upon_o our_o wisdom_n if_o

it_o be_v but_o fleshly_a for_o all_o the_o wisdom_n in_o the_o world_n if_o it_o be_v separate_v from_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n jesus_n it_o be_v but_o foolishness_n as_o paul_n do_v affirm_v 9.6_o 1._o cor._n 3.19_o sapi._fw-la 9.6_o and_o though_o a_o man_n be_v never_o so_o perfect_a say_v solomon_n among_o the_o child_n of_o man_n yet_o if_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n be_v not_o with_o he_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v regard_v three_o of_o the_o gentile_n it_o be_v say_v by_o esay_n that_o they_o seek_v not_o after_o god_n etc._n etc._n they_o know_v there_o be_v a_o god_n and_o in_o their_o wisdom_n they_o be_v very_o diligent_a to_o seek_v out_o that_o knowledge_n of_o that_o god_n but_o they_o seek_v he_o not_o as_o they_o ought_v they_o seek_v he_o not_o in_o his_o word_n where_o only_o he_o be_v to_o be_v find_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v they_o seek_v he_o not_o and_o in_o deed_n whosoever_o will_v seek_v the_o true_a knowledge_n of_o god_n any_o other_o where_o then_o in_o his_o word_n it_o be_v but_o labour_v lose_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o necessary_a lesson_n which_o christ_n do_v give_v to_o his_o adversary_n and_o to_o we_o all_o search_v the_o scripture_n 5.39_o john_n 5.39_o for_o in_o they_o you_o think_v to_o have_v eternal_a life_n &_o these_o be_v they_o which_o testify_v of_o i_o these_o thing_n i_o pass_v over_o light_o as_o not_o direct_o pertain_v to_o the_o apostle_n purpose_n and_o yet_o i_o touch_v they_o because_o they_o lie_v in_o my_o way_n and_o hereafter_o i_o shall_v apply_v they_o and_o unto_o israel_n he_o say_v all_o the_o day_n long_o have_v i_o stretch_v forth_o my_o hand_n etc._n etc._n ver_fw-la 21._o of_o the_o gentile_n he_o have_v say_v they_o be_v not_o worthy_a the_o name_n of_o a_o people_n they_o be_v foolish_a and_o they_o seek_v not_o god_n now_o for_o israel_n he_o say_v that_o god_n have_v stretch_v forth_o his_o hand_n unto_o they_o all_o the_o day_n long_o etc._n etc._n when_o he_o say_v god_n stretch_v forth_o his_o hand_n he_o do_v set_v forth_o the_o great_a care_n that_o god_n have_v to_o bring_v they_o to_o salvation_n when_o he_o say_v all_o the_o day_n long_o he_o do_v tell_v we_o how_o great_a diligence_n god_n do_v use_v to_o bring_v this_o to_o pass_v and_o when_o he_o say_v that_o israel_n be_v a_o disobedient_a and_o a_o gain_n say_v people_n he_o will_v set_v before_o we_o the_o great_a negligence_n and_o backwardness_n which_o be_v in_o they_o now_o draw_v all_o these_o together_o and_o make_v one_o doctrine_n of_o they_o all_o it_o be_v thus_o the_o negligence_n and_o dulness_n of_o man_n in_o well_o do_v be_v great_a but_o such_o be_v the_o mercy_n of_o god_n towards_o man_n and_o so_o careful_a and_o diligent_a be_v god_n for_o man_n that_o all_o the_o day_n he_o do_v stretch_v forth_o his_o hand_n that_o be_v continual_o his_o mercy_n do_v stryve_v and_o wrestle_v with_o our_o backwardness_n if_o it_o be_v possible_a to_o overcome_v it_o as_o we_o see_v in_o adam_n in_o cain_n and_o in_o many_o other_o who_o when_o they_o be_v fall_v from_o god_n they_o seek_v not_o to_o god_n to_o be_v reconcile_v again_o but_o god_n seek_v unto_o they_o yea_o and_o when_o they_o hyd_fw-we themselves_o yet_o god_n find_v they_o out_o but_o above_o the_o rest_n it_o be_v notable_a to_o this_o purpose_n that_o be_v write_v in_o the_o 19_o of_o genesis_n where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o angel_n do_v charge_n lot_n and_o his_o family_n to_o depart_v speedy_o out_o of_o sodom_n 19.16_o gen._n 19.16_o and_o yet_o they_o linger_v and_o the_o text_n say_v that_o as_o they_o prolong_v the_o time_n the_o man_n catch_v both_o he_o and_o his_o wife_n and_o his_o two_o daughter_n by_o the_o hand_n the_o lord_n be_v merciful_a unto_o he_o and_o he_o bring_v he_o forth_o and_o set_v he_o without_o the_o city_n see_v here_o the_o backwardness_n of_o man_n nature_n in_o lot_n but_o chief_o behold_v the_o forwardness_n that_o be_v in_o god_n to_o strive_v and_o wrestle_v with_o man_n that_o by_o his_o mercy_n he_o may_v overcome_v man_n wickedness_n so_o here_o the_o jew_n be_v fall_v from_o god_n they_o be_v rebellious_a and_o unbelieved_a and_o yet_o god_n do_v still_o offer_v they_o salvation_n he_o stretch_v forth_o his_o hand_n unto_o they_o he_o continue_v his_o mercy_n he_o do_v it_o all_o the_o day_n long_o now_o of_o all_o this_o that_o the_o apostle_n here_o set_v down_o both_o of_o the_o untowardnes_n of_o the_o gentile_n &_o backwardness_n of_o that_o jew_n let_v we_o conclude_v with_o that_o which_o the_o apostle_n do_v here_o drive_v unto_o which_o be_v the_o justice_n of_o god_n in_o reject_v the_o jew_n &_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n in_o call_v the_o gentile_n &_o that_o do_v appear_v thus_o the_o gentile_n be_v no_o nation_n or_o not_o god_n nation_n a_o foolish_a people_n and_o such_o a_o people_n as_o seek_v not_o after_o god_n and_o yet_o they_o be_v save_v by_o god_n mercy_n to_o the_o jew_n god_n do_v ster_v out_o his_o hand_n and_o offer_v salvation_n still_o and_o yet_o they_o continue_v unfaithful_a &_o disobedient_a and_o so_o be_v cast_v of_o by_o god_n justice_n so_o than_o that_o which_o we_o have_v here_o to_o conclude_v &_o which_o paul_n will_v have_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n to_o learn_v of_o all_o this_o that_o he_o say_v of_o the_o jew_n and_o gentile_n be_v but_o this_o that_o the_o gentile_n be_v call_v to_o be_v partaker_n of_o god_n grace_n not_o of_o their_o merit_n but_o of_o god_n mere_a mercy_n and_o therefore_o all_o the_o praise_n and_o glory_n of_o their_o salvation_n be_v to_o be_v give_v to_o god_n alone_o and_o nothing_o to_o themselves_o the_o reject_v of_o the_o jew_n be_v of_o god_n justice_n for_o their_o own_o wickedness_n and_o therefore_o all_o the_o blame_n of_o that_o to_o be_v lay_v upon_o themselves_o and_o nothing_o at_o all_o upon_o god_n if_o i_o can_v or_o may_v make_v of_o this_o a_o general_a doctrine_n it_o will_v teach_v we_o all_o thus_o much_o that_o the_o salvation_n of_o all_o god_n people_n be_v of_o god_n only_a mercy_n without_o any_o deserve_n of_o man_n and_o that_o the_o condemnation_n of_o all_o the_o wicked_a be_v of_o their_o own_o desert_n only_o without_o any_o fault_n in_o god_n according_a to_o that_o which_o god_n say_v by_o the_o prophet_n 13.9_o hose_n 13.9_o thy_o destruction_n o_o israel_n be_v thy_o own_o but_o thy_o salvation_n be_v of_o i_o alone_o thus_o than_o we_o see_v that_o israel_n do_v hear_v that_o be_v have_v the_o word_n and_o yet_o they_o be_v just_o reject_v of_o god_n because_o they_o hear_v not_o with_o fruit_n but_o contemn_v the_o word_n and_o where_o they_o think_v they_o can_v allege_v for_o
