father_n who_o have_v obtain_v righteousness_n before_o this_o death_n for_o they_o have_v that_o benefit_n from_o his_o death_n that_o be_v to_o come_v 7_o for_o the_o just_a reason_n force_v i_o

that_o be_v he_o declare_v his_o sure_a &_o most_o constant_a love_n towards_o we_o in_o that_o for_o the_o ungodly_a sake_n he_o spare_v not_o christ_n his_o son_n for_o herein_o his_o love_n appear_v that_o not_o be_v provoke_v by_o love_n of_o his_o own_o free_a will_v he_o first_o love_v we_o as_o john_n say_v they_o be_v here_o call_v sinner_n as_o in_o many_o other_o place_n who_o

and_o in_o this_o last_o member_n he_o appli_v the_o comparison_n of_o the_o less_o and_o great_a unto_o this_o doctrine_n for_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o that_o salvation_n be_v once_o purchase_v for_o we_o except_o christ_n do_v conserve_v the_o same_o safe_a and_o firm_a unto_o the_o end_n and_o that_o be_v it_o the_o apostle_n go_v about_o now_o namely_o that_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v fear_v lest_o christ_n shall_v break_v of_o the_o course_n of_o his_o grace_n in_o the_o middle_a race_n for_o since_o he_o have_v reconcile_v we_o to_o the_o father_n such_o be_v our_o condition_n that_o he_o will_v show_v forth_o his_o favour_n more_o effectual_o towards_o we_o and_o daily_o increase_v the_o same_o 10_o for_o if_o when_o we_o be_v enemy_n we_o be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n by_o the_o death_n of_o his_o son_n much_o more_o be_v reconcile_v shall_v we_o be_v save_v by_o his_o life_n this_o be_v a_o exposition_n of_o the_o former_a sentence_n with_o a_o amplification_n take_v from_o the_o comparison_n of_o life_n and_o death_n we_o be_v enemy_n quoth_v he_o when_o christ_n take_v upon_o he_o the_o mediation_n to_o reconcile_v the_o father_n now_o we_o be_v friend_n through_o his_o reconciliation_n if_o that_o can_v be_v bring_v to_o pass_v by_o his_o death_n his_o life_n shall_v be_v of_o great_a power_n and_o more_o effectual_a so_o then_o we_o have_v notable_a testimony_n which_o may_v confirm_v the_o confidence_n of_o salvation_n in_o our_o heart_n his_o meaning_n be_v we_o be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n by_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n because_o it_o be_v 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 contrary_a unto_o himself_o for_o if_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o pledge_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n towards_o we_o objection_n objection_n it_o follow_v that_o even_o than_o we_o be_v acceptable_a to_o he_o answer_n answer_n but_o now_o he_o say_v we_o be_v enemy_n i_o answer_n because_o god_n hate_v sin_n we_o also_o be_v odious_a unto_o he_o as_o we_o be_v sinner_n but_o as_o 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 by_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n except_o this_o be_v unto_o we_o the_o beginning_n of_o our_o reconciliation_n with_o god_n that_o we_o be_v persuade_v the_o satisfaction_n be_v perform_v he_o be_v now_o favourable_a to_o we_o who_o before_o be_v just_o angry_a with_o us._n so_o when_o acceptation_n into_o grace_n be_v ascribe_v to_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n the_o meaning_n be_v that_o then_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 good_a thing_n may_v either_o be_v imagine_v or_o wish_v do_v follow_v and_o flow_v out_o of_o this_o fountain_n for_o god_n be_v not_o only_o the_o chief_a of_o all_o good_a thing_n but_o he_o contain_v the_o sum_n and_o every_o part_n in_o himself_o faith_n god_n in_o who_o all_o good_a thing_n be_v include_v be_v make_v we_o by_o faith_n and_o he_o be_v make_v we_o by_o christ_n hither_o then_o do_v we_o come_v by_o the_o benefit_n of_o faith_n that_o nothing_o be_v want_v unto_o we_o touch_v felicity_n and_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n he_o so_o often_o repeat_v reconciliation_n first_o that_o we_o may_v learn_v to_o fix_v our_o eye_n upon_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n as_o often_o as_o we_o speak_v of_o our_o salvation_n second_o that_o we_o may_v know_v 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 write_v when_o that_o
down_o before_o for_o the_o similitude_n he_o bring_v in_o take_v away_o all_o ambiguity_n because_o graft_v do_v not_o only_o note_v the_o conformity_n of_o example_n but_o a_o secret_a conjunction_n whereby_o we_o grow_v uppe_o together_o with_o he_o so_o that_o he_o quicken_n we_o with_o his_o spirit_n pour_v his_o virtue_n into_o us._n therefore_o as_o a_o graft_n have_v the_o condition_n of_o life_n and_o death_n common_a together_o with_o the_o tree_n in_o the_o which_o it_o be_v graft_v so_o it_o be_v reason_n we_o shall_v no_o less_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o life_n then_o of_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n for_o if_o we_o be_v graft_v into_o the_o similitude_n of_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n and_o that_o be_v not_o without_o his_o resurrection_n then_o no_o more_o shall_v our_o

or_o simple_o we_o be_v graft_v into_o his_o similitude_n the_o first_o acception_n will_v require_v the_o greek_n dative_n homoiomati_fw-la that_o be_v to_o the_o similitud_n to_o be_v refer_v to_o

think_v good_a to_o prefer_v it_o albeit_o it_o be_v but_o a_o small_a matter_n see_v both_o come_v to_o one_o sense_n 2.7_o phil._n 2.7_o chrysostome_n think_v paul_n say_v the_o similitude_n of_o

think_v i_o see_v some_o great_a emphasis_n in_o this_o word_n for_o beside_o that_o it_o avail_v to_o infer_v the_o resurrection_n it_o seem_v to_o tend_v unto_o this_o not_o that_o we_o shall_v die_v like_o christ_n by_o a_o natural_a death_n but_o that_o we_o have_v this_o congruencie_n with_o his_o death_n that_o as_o he_o die_v in_o the_o flesh_n which_o he_o receive_v of_o we_o so_o we_o shall_v die_v in_o ourselves_o that_o we_o may_v live_v in_o he_o then_o be_v it_o not_o the_o same_o death_n but_o the_o like_a for_o the_o resemblance_n or_o proportion_n between_o the_o death_n of_o this_o present_a life_n and_o spiritual_a renovation_n be_v to_o be_v note_v graffed_a this_o word_n be_v very_a significant●_n for_o it_o declare_v plain_o that_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o

for_o see_v hope_n extend_v itself_o unto_o thing_n not_o yet_o know_v by_o experience_n and_o represent_v unto_o our_o mind_n the_o image_n of_o thing_n which_o be_v hide_v and_o far_o off_o
