the_o sacrifice_n of_o reconciliation_n whereby_o god_n be_v reconcile_v to_o the_o world_n as_o i_o have_v declare_v in_o the_o four_o chapter_n but_o here_o the_o apostle_n seem_v to_o be_v

in_o his_o secret_a counsel_n he_o elect_v we_o into_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n he_o cease_v to_o hate_v us._n but_o the_o restore_n into_o favour_n be_v unknown_a unto_o we_o until_o we_o perceive_v it_o by_o faith_n therefore_o in_o respect_n of_o ourselves_o we_o be_v always_o enemy_n until_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n come_v between_o to_o reconcile_v god_n and_o this_o difference_n of_o a_o twofold_a respect_n be_v to_o be_v note_v for_o otherwise_o we_o know_v not_o the_o free_a mercy_n of_o god_n then_o if_o we_o be_v persuade_v that_o he_o spare_v not_o his_o only_o beget_v son_n because_o he_o love_v we_o at_o such_o time_n as_o there_o be_v enmity_n between_o he_o and_o we_o again_o we_o do_v not_o sufficient_o feel_v the_o benefit_n bring_v unto_o we_o

the_o guiltiness_n be_v take_v away_o whereunto_o we_o be_v otherwise_o subject_a 11_o and_o not_o this_o only_a but_o also_o we_o rejoice_v in_o god_n through_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n by_o who_o we_o be_v now_o reconcile_v 11_o and_o not_o this_o only_a now_o he_o scale_v unto_o the_o high_a step_n of_o rejoice_v for_o while_o we_o glory_v that_o god_n be_v we_o what_o so_o ever_o

that_o our_o confidence_n be_v not_o where_o it_o be_v to_o be_v repose_v then_o in_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n 12_o wherefore_o as_o by_o one_o man_n sin_n enter_v into_o the_o world_n and_o by_o sin_n death_n and_o so_o death_n go_v over_o all_o man_n in_o as_o much_o as_o all_o have_v sin_v 13_o for_o unto_o the_o law_n sin_n be_v in_o the_o world_n but_o sin_n be_v not_o impute_v while_o there_o be_v no_o law_n 14_o but_o death_n reign_v from_o adam_n unto_o moses_n even_o over_o they_o that_o sin_v not_o after_o the_o like_a manner_n of_o the_o transgression_n of_o adam_n which_o be_v the_o figure_n of_o he_o that_o be_v to_o come_v 12_o wherefore_o as_o now_o he_o begin_v to_o exaggerate_v the_o same_o doctrine_n by_o a_o comparison_n take_v from_o contraries_n for_o if_o christ_n come_v therefore_o that_o he_o may_v deliver_v we_o from_o that_o calamity_n into_o the_o which_o adam_n fall_v and_o do_v precipitate_v all_o his_o posterity_n with_o he_o we_o can_v no_o way_n better_o see_v what_o we_o have_v in_o christ_n then_o when_o it_o be_v show_v unto_o we_o what_o we_o lose_v in_o adam_n although_o all_o thing_n be_v not_o a_o like_a on_o both_o part_n therefore_o paul_n add_v a_o correction_n which_o shall_v be_v see_v in_o his_o place_n and_o we_o also_o if_o there_o be_v any_o diversity_n shall_v note_v it_o former_a it_o be_v a_o vice_n in_o

in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o law_n from_o their_o childhood_n can_v not_o put_v away_o the_o reverence_n of_o day_n which_o they_o have_v learn_v from_o the_o beginning_n and_o whereunto_o they_o have_v accustom_v themselves_o all_o their_o whole_a life_n neither_o dare_v they_o touch_v those_o meat_n which_o they_o abhor_v so_o long_o that_o they_o be_v endue_v with_o such_o opinion_n it_o

restrain_v themselves_o from_o that_o which_o they_o think_v to_o be_v unlawful_a for_o they_o that_o be_v a_o token_n of_o godliness_n even_o as_o it_o have_v be_v a_o sign_n of_o boldness_n and_o contempt_n if_o they_o have_v taste_v any_o thing_n against_o their_o conscience_n here_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n teach_v a_o most_o excellent_a moderation_n when_o he_o command_v every_o man_n to_o be_v full_o assure_v of_o his_o counsel_n whereby_o he_o give_v to_o understande_v conscience_n nothing_o shall_v be_v do_v with_o a_o doubt_v or_o waver_a conscience_n there_o ought_v to_o be_v

step_v further_o than_o we_o be_v persuade_v may_v be_v lawful_a for_o us._n but_o if_o any_o man_n object_n objection_n objection_n that_o error_n be_v always_o doubtful_a and_o therefore_o such_o

of_o observe_v day_n and_o the_o observation_n itself_o whereunto_o he_o bind_v himself_o for_o the_o opinion_n be_v superstitious_a neither_o do_v paul_n deny_v that_o who_o under_o the_o name_n of_o
