blind_a yea_o a_o furious_a beast_n therefore_o it_o be_v no_o marvel_n if_o false_a brethren_n do_v take_v occasion_n cut_v of_o the_o gospel_n to_o disquiet_v the_o good_a and_o faithful_a pastor_n and_o true_o paul_n have_v say_v nothing_o here_o which_o myself_o have_v not_o try_v for_o as_o yet_o there_o live_v some_o at_o this_o day_n who_o have_v preach_v the_o gospel_n with_o none_o other_o intent_n than_o that_o by_o persecute_v godly_a pastor_n they_o may_v yield_v to_o the_o fury_n of_o the_o wicked_a touch_v paul_n his_o enemy_n it_o be_v not_o amiss_o to_o mark_v if_o they_o be_v jew_n how_o mad_a their_o hatred_n be_v that_o even_o they_o forget_v for_o what_o cause_n they_o hate_v he_o for_o while_o they_o be_v carry_v away_o by_o hatred_n to_o destroy_v he_o they_o labour_v in_o promote_a the_o gospel_n for_o who_o cause_n they_o be_v angry_a with_o he_o but_o they_o think_v very_o that_o the_o cause_n of_o christ_n shall_v either_o stand_v or_o fall_v in_o the_o life_n of_o one_o man_n but_o if_o they_o that_o be_v so_o seduce_v by_o ambition_n be_v emulous_a among_o themselves_o we_o must_v acknowledge_v the_o marvelous_a goodness_n of_o god_n who_o notwithstanding_o give_v such_o success_n to_o their_o perverse_a endeavour_n 17_o that_o i_o be_o set_v for_o the_o defence_n they_o that_o love_v christ_n true_o think_v it_o a_o shame_n for_o themselves_o if_o they_o do_v not_o join_v with_o paul_n as_o companion_n plead_v his_o cause_n and_o so_o we_o must_v do_v we_o must_v succour_v the_o servant_n of_o christ_n be_v in_o distress_n as_o much_o as_o we_o may_v mark_v again_o this_o manner_n of_o speech_n of_o the_o defence_n of_o the_o gospel_n for_o since_o christ_n vouchsafe_v we_o such_o honour_n what_o excuse_n can_v we_o have_v if_o we_o be_v faint_a heart_a in_o his_o cause_n or_o what_o must_v we_o look_v for_o if_o we_o betray_v it_o by_o our_o silence_n but_o that_o in_o like_a manner_n he_o shall_v forsake_v our_o cause_n who_o alone_o be_v our_o advocate_n and_o patron_n with_o god_n his_o father_n 18_o what_o then_o yet_o all_o manner_n of_o way_n whether_o under_o pretence_n or_o true_o christ_n be_v preach_v and_o in_o this_o i_o rejoice_v and_o will_v rejoice_v 19_o for_o i_o know_v that_o this_o shall_v turn_v to_o my_o salvation_n through_o your_o prayer_n and_o by_o the_o help_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o jesus_n christ_n 20_o according_a to_o my_o expectation_n and_o hope_v that_o in_o nothing_o i_o shall_v be_v ashamed_a but_o with_o all_o confidence_n as_o always_o so_o now_o christ_n shall_v be_v magnify_v in_o my_o body_n whether_o it_o be_v by_o life_n or_o death_n 21_o for_o christ_n be_v to_o i_o both_o in_o life_n and_o in_o death_n advantage_n 18_o yet_o all_o manner_n of_o way_n because_o the_o wicked_a mind_n of_o they_o of_o who_o he_o speak_v may_v slander_v the_o grace_n of_o the_o doctrine_n he_o say_v that_o this_o be_v great_o to_o be_v esteem_v because_o that_o they_o promote_v the_o gospel_n notwithstanding_o whatsoever_o their_o intent_n be_v for_o god_n by_o evil_n and_o wicked_a instrument_n sometime_o bring_v to_o pass_v a_o excellent_a work_n therefore_o he_o say_v he_o rejoice_v for_o such_o success_n because_o he_o be_v content_v with_o this_o only_a to_o see_v the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n increase_n as_o when_o we_o do_v hear_v that_o the_o unclean_a dog_n charles_n at_o auenion_n and_o in_o other_o place_n do_v sow_v the_o seed_n of_o pure_a doctrine_n in_o many_o man_n heart_n we_o give_v thanks_n unto_o god_n who_o use_v this_o naughty_a and_o desperate_a varlet_n unto_o his_o own_o glory_n and_o at_o this_o day_n we_o rejoice_v that_o the_o course_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v promote_v by_o many_o who_o have_v a_o far_a other_o purpose_n but_o although_o paul_n do_v rejoice_v for_o the_o increase_n of_o the_o gospel_n yet_o will_v he_o never_o have_v ordain_v such_o minister_n if_o it_o have_v be_v in_o his_o power_n we_o must_v therefore_o rejoice_v if_o by_o the_o ungodly_a god_n work_v any_o good_a yet_o we_o must_v neither_o place_v such_o in_o the_o ministry_n nor_o account_v they_o for_o the_o lawful_a minister_n of_o christ_n 19_o for_o i_o know_v because_o some_o do_v publish_v the_o gospel_n to_o procure_v envy_n unto_o paul_n that_o they_o may_v the_o more_o incense_v the_o cruelty_n of_o his_o enemy_n against_o he_o he_o answer_v by_o a_o praeocupation_n that_o their_o wicked_a purpose_n shall_v not_o hurt_v he_o because_o god_n will_v turn_v they_o to_o a_o contrary_a end_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v although_o they_o imagine_v my_o destruction_n yet_o i_o trust_v that_o all_o their_o practice_n shall_v do_v nothing_o else_o but_o that_o christ_n in_o i_o may_v be_v glorify_v which_o turn_v unto_o my_o salvation_n for_o that_o he_o speak_v not_o of_o the_o safety_n of_o his_o body_n it_o be_v evident_a by_o that_o which_o follow_v but_o from_o whence_o have_v paul_n this_o

shall_v think_v that_o because_o he_o join_v these_o two_o thing_n in_o the_o text_n therefore_o they_o be_v equal_a the_o sentence_n must_v therefore_o thus_o be_v resolve_v i_o know_v that_o all_o

it_o can_v not_o be_v but_o the_o lord_n must_v answer_v our_o expectation_n which_o be_v ground_v in_o his_o word_n for_o he_o promise_v that_o he_o will_v never_o forsake_v we_o no_o not_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o all_o torment_n if_o at_o any_o time_n we_o be_v call_v to_o the_o confession_n of_o his_o name_n therefore_o let_v all_o the_o godly_a hope_n by_o the_o example_n of_o paul_n and_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v ashamed_a with_o all_o confidence_n we_o see_v that_o by_o hope_v he_o do_v not_o yield_v to_o the_o desire_n of_o the_o flesh_n but_o submit_v his_o hope_n to_o the_o

the_o combat_n of_o this_o present_a life_n he_o be_v not_o doubtful_a of_o the_o success_n for_o of_o this_o thing_n god_n have_v assure_v we_o therefore_o if_o we_o be_v frame_v to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o have_v the_o same_o purpose_n in_o our_o life_n that_o paul_n have_v we_o hope_v for_o a_o happy_a end_n howsoever_o we_o need_v no_o more_o to_o fear_v lest_o any_o evil_n shall_v

the_o denial_n of_o christ_n he_o add_v as_o always_o that_o by_o the_o experiment_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n already_o past_a they_o may_v confirm_v their_o faith_n so_o in_o the_o rom._n 5.4_o

the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n and_o to_o hold_v the_o true_a nature_n thereof_o for_o paul_n here_o compare_v two_o righteousness_n together_o the_o one_o he_o say_v be_v proper_a unto_o man_n the_o which_o he_o call_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n the_o other_o he_o teach_v to_o be_v from_o god_n and_o to_o be_v obtain_v through_o faith_n and_o to_o be_v repose_v in_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n these_o he_o make_v so_o contrary_a between_o themselves_o that_o they_o can_v not_o stand_v together_o two_o thing_n therefore_o be_v here_o to_o be_v note_v that_o thou_o must_v give_v over_o and_o resign_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n that_o thou_o may_v be_v righteous_a by_o faith_n then_o that_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n proceed_v from_o god_n and_o be_v not_o proper_a unto_o man_n touch_v both_o of_o these_o there_o be_v great_a contention_n at_o this_o day_n betwixt_o we_o and_o the_o papist_n for_o neither_o do_v they_o grant_v that_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n be_v altogether_o from_o god_n but_o they_o attribute_v part_n unto_o man_n and_o they_o mingle_v they_o together_o as_o though_o the_o one_o do_v not_o take_v

we_o therefore_o he_o leave_v no_o place_n at_o all_o for_o the_o righteousness_n of_o work_n why_o he_o call_v it_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n he_o show_v rom._n 10.5_o namely_o because_o this_o be_v the_o edict_n of_o the_o law_n he_o that_o do_v these_o thing_n shall_v live_v in_o they_o therefore_o the_o law_n do_v pronounce_v a_o man_n to_o be_v just_a by_o his_o work_n neither_o

by_o this_o reason_n he_o oppose_v these_o two_o righteousness_n the_o one_o be_v proper_a unto_o man_n the_o other_o be_v from_o god_n therefore_o the_o one_o do_v signify_v the_o reward_n of_o

naked_a man_n unto_o god_n that_o he_o may_v be_v clothe_v with_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n whereas_o therefore_o he_o affirm_v that_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n be_v from_o god_n it_o be_v not_o only_o because_o faith_n be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n but_o because_o god_n of_o his_o goodness_n do_v justify_v we_o or_o else_o because_o by_o faith_n we_o receive_v the_o righteousness_n which_o he_o have_v give_v us._n 10._o that_o i_o may_v know_v he_o he_o describe_v the_o force_n &_o nature_n of_o faith_n namely_o that_o it_o be_v the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n
