Wherein is perfectly proued our iustification to bee by faithe onely, to the beatyng doune and ouerthrowyng of all erronious and false opinions to the contrarie.

fleshe marke also how the Apostle propoundeth and proueth the second For where in the ninth verse he setteth doune the Propositions I toulde you before whiche weare They whiche are in Christe haue the Spirite You are in hym The conclusion is in the twelfth verse the coniunction of the Trinitie is suche that no reasonable man can denie the one to bee so anexed to the other that wheare mercy is shewed in the one there grace aboundeth by the other The assumption he proueth by the effects of our graftinge into Christe by whome although he acknowledgeth all thinges to come Yet in this principally he comforteth them that beside the benefite thei receiue and enioye in this life euen then when their fleshe lieth in the Grounde For so I expounde Corpus for the one parte of the body onely their Spirite shall liue in peace and the Bodie whiche as yet is not purified from corruption shall receiue life by the grace giuen by him in whome they are ingrafted An other proofe of the assumption is in the 11. verse and it is of the effectes and working of the holy Ghoste as if a man would saie truly it is an hard thing to fleshe and bloud to thinke a bodie burned eaten with the foules of the Ayer or consumed with the same to meete againe and to bee ioyned together parte to parte and then the whole to the soule yet if suche an one whosoeuer looke too the power of the Spirite and acknowledge Iesus Christe to haue risen by the same Spirite and then acknowledge him selfe to be a member of Christes bodie he shall easely discerne this and se that the power of the Spirite is not diminished but that it is the same whiche it was from the beginning and too whome euery creature shall giue in accompte and before whome euen the Sea shall bringe all the bodies it hath swallowed the Beastes and foules all that they haue deuoured and eaten and the Sonne shall restore those Bodies it hath consumed But as this power is not denyed to Christe although it be here by wordes giuen to the Father but is made common with them bothe so is this action of the holie Ghost not all togeather to be referred to the last rising whiche shal be doune in the twinkling of an eye but euen to the daiely helpes that this spirite ministereth to vs whereby he prepareth vs to bee fitte members of his Soonne Christe and to bee made meete heires of his kyngdome by the bloud of his sonne Now then the conclusion is in the 12. verse whiche sheweth that wee renounce the fleshe when we suffer Gods Spirite to rule our actions and wholie depende vppon his prouidence and if wee doe so then we are in Christ that is we liue accordyng to his will and walke in his cōmaundementes as it is saied to the Ephesians if wee liue in the Spirite then wee walke in the Spirite And although we see that this conclusion thus gathered doeth shewe a truthe yet the Apostle proueth it by certaine disagreyng argumentes whiche I will touche in a woorde or twoo because the effect of them was sett doune before The first therefore containeth a sharpe threatenyng againste the wicked and a comfort to the godlie this threatenyng he placeth here to bee as a pricke in their bodies to stirre them vp to call for grace and not to put their trust in them selues or to thinke that thei may be saued without the righteousnesse therof for if thei dooe so thei shall surely dye And why truely because thei transgresse the Commaundement and no maruell For if a mortall Prince appoint a Lawe to bee kepte and decree that the breache thereof shal be punished with Death if he apprehende any transgressor he shall dye without mercie And shall a man deale so with his brother and shall not the Lorde deale more seuerely with his owne handie woorke if it rebell and saie why hast thou doen thus and thus to me The cōfort he promiseth to all those whiche giue their indeuour to woorke the will of God and to deny the will of the flesh although thei cannot doe it as thei should The seconde proofe of his conclusion is that thei are the soonnes of God if soonnes Then fellowe heires and alwaie so directed by the Spirite whiche thynges he proueth in the 15. verse by the effectes of the spirite and in the 16. by the testimonies of the same spirite the effectes are the suretie of truste in whiche all the faithfull beleeue and the takyng awaie of feare and waueryng acknowledgyng our selues not to come to mounte Sinai where all thyng were terrible and the people as striken with death fell doune and cried that the Lorde should not speake vnto them where Moises hymself was afraid but we are come to Sion to the heauenly Hierusalem where wee haue the Mediatour of the newe Testamente And where the Spirite of God assuryng vs of his clemencie causeth our spirite to cal vppon hym and to take hym as our heauenly Father whiche we durst not to doe without suche assuraunce and this is that Spirite whose vniuersall actions sustain all Creatures whose particular actions giue all other blessinges whiche are vnto vs seales and pledges of euerlastyng life and heauenly inheritaunce ¶ The seconde part THus I haue spoken of the first parte of of this Chapiter which was a conclusion and as God hath giuen me knowledge and vtterance I haue in sinceritie of the worde shewed the true meanyng and order of the Apostle whiche I meane to doe God willyng in this laste parte whiche is a consolation drawen of sixe argumentes inferryng a godlie and comfortable conclusion of this firste parte of the doctrine of this Epistle The first argumente is drawen of the fellowshippe wee haue with Christe 17. verse we are the sonnes of God as he is and beyng sonnes we are made free partakers of our Fathers treasures and are appointed to haue our inheritaunce with hym with the condition followyng that we walke not accordyng to our owne appetite but prepare our selues to bear his crosse whiche if we doe not then is there no hope for vs. And here wee haue a double comforte that euen in the beginnyng of this Crosse and in the sufferyng of afflictions we haue Christe to be an equall sufferer with vs Secondly that as wee now suffer with him so shall we liue with hym euerlastyngly Neither is this doctrine to be kepte close because that some hereby would affirme the abilitie of workes for we knowe that woorkes doe not sette doune any cause of saluation but the meanes and waies by whiche we are appointed to come thereunto The seconde argumente is a comparatis that is as the learned knowe twoo simple argumentes compared together to the settyng forthe of the one 18. verse He compareth thinges present with thinges to come and setteth doune the vanitie of thynges present in respect of

bee hurtfull is by the grace afore shewed profitable vnto vs But how Truely euen by the eternall purpose of God who loued vs before we loued hym yea whom we could not haue loued if he had not called vs Neither is this callyng onely mente of the election but also of the continuall direction of all our woorkes whiche are moderated by the hande of God and therefore it is shewed that all thynges whatsoeuer come of his good will power and pleasure There followeth now in the 29. and 30. verses a figure whiche is called clymax gradatio whiche goeth from one woorde to an other and adorneth all whiche beginnyng with the order of our election he saieth that all the afflictions of the godlie are meanes whereby thei are made sure to Christe whiche he before proued to bee verie necessarie The gradation is whom he knewe those he predestinate or decreed of hym self for so the woorde 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 maie well be translated whom he predestinate those he called whom he called those he iustified and by all whiche he openeth the dueties and rewardes of Christianitie For if wee bee compared with Christe who is the elder Soonne then are wee also so to frame our selues that wee maie bee conformable to his Image And labouryng thus in these wee knowe that with our vocation iustification and glorie is ioyned the fellowshipp of the crosse whiche cannot be separated The sixt and laste argument is a Maiori in the 32. and 33. verses where he hauing acknowledged the infinite power and vnspeakable mercie of God bursteth out into these wordes what shall we saie then Shall wee euen seeyng the goodnesse of God increaste Distrust because wee are wrapte in miseries No but rather let vs thinke thus God is with vs and therefore these can not ouerthrowe vs Now this is the greatest staie for a Christian to haue God with hym but how shall I whiche see my self beset with synnes take holde of this goodnesse There is no good in my self I am a detter to God and therefore dare not offer my self to hym In these conflictes saie thus to thyne owne consciēce God is my father therefore I am not to doubt of his beneficence he hath giuen Christe Iesus to bee slaine for mine infirmities whiche is the greatest benefite whiche either is or shal bee and will not he together with hym giue me all thynges yes assuredly and therefore I will in boldnesse offer my self before him in the name of his and my Christe and conclude with the Apostle in the verses followyng that beyng assured by these his promises and grounding my faithe yea staiyng my self that neither Hell Deuill persecution anguishe thynges presente and thynges to come can separate me from the loue of Christe Iesus who for his mercies sake graunt that wee maie stedfastly beleeue his promises without presumption beare afflictions without desperation grounde our faithe and hope vppon his woorde without waueryng haue true comforte in his Death without rashenesse confirmed to vs by the fellowship wee haue with Christ by hope of his mercies and all other assurances here set doune Amen Reade the 8. 2.
