therefore_o paul_n before_o in_o this_o self_n same_o epistle_n thus_o write_v if_o abraham_n be_v justify_v by_o work_n he_o have_v glory_n but_o he_o have_v not_o whereof_o to_o glory_v before_o

elect_v also_o you_o have_v not_o choose_v i_o but_o i_o have_v choose_v you_o and_o if_o christ_n and_o the_o apostle_n have_v in_o their_o sermon_n oftentimes_o make_v mention_v hereof_o no_o man_n

and_o natural_a order_n sin_n can_v in_o no_o wise_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a especial_o if_o we_o consider_v they_o that_o â–ª_o we_o must_v not_o charge_v the_o

but_o use_v such_o cause_n as_o please_v he_o god_n can_v use_v sin_n for_o instrument_n of_o salvation_n â–ª_o sin_n yet_o will_v i_o in_o no_o wise_n take_v upon_o i_o to_o say_v that_o paul_n deal_v only_o in_o word_n &_o in_o stead_n of_o commendation_n set_v forth_o unto_o we_o those_o which_o in_o very_a deed_n be_v no_o commendation_n for_o we_o ought_v to_o defend_v the_o holy_a

therefore_o bring_v forth_o some_o effect_n for_o that_o it_o have_v please_v god_n to_o use_v they_o as_o instrument_n in_o the_o set_n forth_o of_o new_a thing_n wherefore_o even_o as_o he_o use_v
