whether_o any_o under_o the_o old-testament_n be_v make_v partaker_n of_o god_n spirit_n or_o no_o if_o they_o be_v how_o come_v they_o by_o it_o there_o can_v be_v no_o other_o way_n say_v but_o that_o god_n do_v give_v his_o spirit_n in_o all_o those_o public_a ordinance_n unto_o the_o believe_a israelite_n so_o that_o although_o they_o do_v in_o some_o measure_n obey_v the_o law_n yet_o they_o do_v it_o not_o by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o law_n but_o by_o the_o power_n of_o grace_n again_o in_o the_o next_o place_n which_o have_v always_o much_o prevail_v with_o i_o do_v not_o the_o people_n of_o god_n receive_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n offer_v in_o the_o sacrament_n at_o that_o time_n we_o constant_o maintain_v against_o the_o papist_n that_o our_o sacrament_n and_o they_o differ_v not_o for_o substance_n therefore_o in_o circumcision_n and_o the_o paschall_n lamb_n they_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o christ_n as_o well_o as_o we_o yet_o the_o apostle_n do_v as_o much_o exclude_v circumcision_n and_o those_o jewish_a ordinance_n from_o grace_n as_o any_o thing_n else_o therefore_o that_o there_o may_v be_v no_o contradiction_n in_o scripture_n some_o other_o way_n be_v to_o be_v think_v upon_o about_o the_o exposition_n of_o these_o word_n some_o there_o be_v therefore_o that_o do_v understand_v by_o the_o spirit_n the_o wonderful_a and_o miraculous_a work_n of_o god_n spirit_n for_o this_o be_v reserve_v till_o the_o time_n of_o the_o messiah_n and_o by_o these_o miracle_n his_o doctrine_n be_v confirm_v to_o be_v from_o heaven_n and_o to_o this_o sense_n the_o five_o verse_n speak_v very_o express_o and_o beza_n do_v confess_v that_o this_o be_v the_o principal_a scope_n of_o the_o apostle_n though_o he_o will_v not_o exclude_v the_o other_o

the_o doctrine_n of_o faith_n so_o by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n which_o the_o false_a apostle_n teach_v namely_o that_o christ_n be_v not_o enough_o to_o justification_n unless_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n be_v put_v in_o as_o a_o cause_n also_o and_o if_o this_o shall_v be_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o text_n than_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o the_o galatian_n be_v not_o make_v partaker_n of_o god_n spirit_n by_o the_o corrupt_a doctrine_n that_o be_v teach_v they_o late_o by_o their_o seducer_n but_o

be_v a_o probable_a interpretation_n but_o that_o which_o i_o shall_v stand_v upon_o be_v this_o the_o jew_n and_o false_a apostle_n they_o look_v upon_o the_o law_n as_o sufficient_a to_o save_v they_o without_o christ_n consider_v rome_n 2._o 17_o 18_o 19_o or_o when_o they_o go_v further_a they_o join_v christ_n and_o the_o observance_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n equal_o together_o for_o

be_v a_o vain_a thing_n in_o they_o to_o hope_v for_o any_o such_o grace_n or_o benefit_n as_o they_o do_v by_o it_o so_o that_o the_o apostle_n scope_n be_v not_o absolute_o to_o argue_v against_o the_o benefit_n of_o the_o law_n which_o david_n and_o moses_n do_v so_o much_o commend_v but_o against_o it_o in_o the_o sense_n as_o the_o jew_n do_v common_o dote_v upon_o it_o which_o be_v to_o
