few_o word_n exhort_v my_o dear_o belove_a brethren_n in_o christ_n to_o be_v mindful_a of_o those_o thing_n according_a to_o my_o simple_a understanding_n and_o yet_o i_o see_v no_o cause_n why_o i_o shall_v spend_v any_o long_a time_n herein_o for_o i_o do_v firm_o trust_v that_o all_o those_o say_n be_v already_o note_v by_o you_o yea_o &_o deep_o imprint_v in_o your_o mind_n which_o the_o apostle_n do_v teach_v here_o touch_v the_o due_a observation_n of_o our_o call_n so_o that_o my_o exhortation_n shall_v not_o be_v much_o needful_a in_o this_o place_n first_o i_o suppose_v that_o you_o be_v not_o ignorant_a of_o the_o great_a rigour_n that_o god_n execute_v upon_o his_o people_n wherewith_o if_o he_o will_v have_v punish_v you_o what_o may_v have_v let_v he_o i_o pray_v you_o yea_o rather_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o he_o do_v not_o punish_v you_o do_v you_o think_v that_o any_o of_o you_o be_v endue_v with_o any_o such_o excellency_n as_o you_o may_v thereby_o challenge_v any_o preeminence_n above_o the_o jewish_a nation_n be_v not_o we_o sometime_o even_o in_o the_o same_o plight_n that_o many_o jew_n remain_v in_o at_o this_o day_n to_o wit_n unfaithful_a unbeliever_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n then_o if_o god_n exclude_v the_o jew_n for_o their_o unbelief_n as_o he_o do_v what_o argument_n may_v induce_v he_o to_o have_v more_o compassion_n upon_o the_o gentile_n who_o be_v sometime_o as_o void_a of_o faith_n as_o they_o be_v now_o whereby_o you_o may_v perceive_v my_o dear_a brethren_n how_o the_o inestimable_a mercy_n of_o god_n do_v miraculous_o work_v in_o man_n election_n beyond_o all_o hope_n and_o capacity_n of_o man_n who_o have_v compassion_n on_o who_o it_o please_v he_o and_o harden_v the_o heart_n of_o who_o he_o ly_v that_o it_o may_v right_o be_v say_v that_o it_o consist_v neither_o in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o willing_a nor_o of_o the_o run_v to_o obtain_v mercy_n but_o in_o the_o merciful_a god._n if_o this_o be_v not_o yet_o apparent_a unto_o you_o look_v upon_o those_o israelite_n that_o be_v yet_o forsake_v of_o god_n who_o be_v sometime_o in_o his_o favour_n and_o you_o admit_v in_o their_o stead_n what_o be_v the_o cause_n thereof_o i_o pray_v you_o thou_o wile_n say_v that_o the_o natural_a branch_n be_v break_v off_o that_o i_o may_v be_v engraft_v in_o it_o be_v true_a in_o deed_n they_o be_v break_v off_o as_o thou_o say_v but_o good_a sir_n this_o be_v not_o do_v for_o thy_o sake_n but_o for_o their_o own_o unbelief_n sake_n and_o yet_o it_o follow_v hereupon_o that_o we_o be_v plant_v in_o neither_o be_v this_o false_a that_o thou_o speak_v but_o this_o be_v not_o the_o point_n i_o seek_v for_o there_o be_v yet_o a_o other_o thing_n to_o wit_n not_o whether_o the_o jew_n be_v break_v off_o but_o i_o will_v fain_o know_v what_o virtue_n be_v in_o thou_o that_o may_v procure_v thou_o to_o be_v engraft_v in_o their_o place_n and_o wherefore_o shall_v they_o be_v natural_a branch_n be_v hew_v off_o if_o you_o compare_v with_o they_o in_o ancienty_n of_o race_n they_o do_v far_o excel_v you_o in_o ancienty_n of_o birth_n and_o dignity_n of_o parentage_n for_o they_o be_v your_o elder_n far_o by_o which_o title_n they_o may_v lawful_o challenge_v the_o preeminence_n of_o the_o birthright_n if_o you_o stand_v with_o they_o upon_o deserve_n how_o precise_o do_v they_o pursue_v the_o prescript_n rule_v of_o righteousness_n whereof_o thou_o do_v take_v no_o regard_n at_o all_o although_o in_o truth_n they_o be_v never_o able_a to_o attain_v the_o perfection_n they_o seek_v for_o if_o thou_o contend_v with_o they_o in_o excellency_n of_o zeal_n they_o want_v not_o very_o fervent_a and_o entire_a zeal_n albeit_o their_o earnest_n bend_v affection_n want_v true_a understanding_n if_o thou_o boast_v upon_o thy_o uprightness_n of_o life_n sure_o we_o gentile_n be_v in_o no_o respect_n comparable_a unto_o they_o in_o conversation_n of_o life_n if_o thou_o have_v regard_n to_o the_o painfulness_n of_o the_o toil_n or_o estate_n of_o the_o call_n they_o do_v bear_v the_o brunt_n and_o heat_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o be_v then_o first_o

inconstancy_n for_o make_v innovation_n of_o his_o ancient_a cove●aunt_n god_n forbid_v for_o he_o do_v never_o constrain_v the_o performance_n of_o his_o promise_n to_o any_o place_n or_o people_n person_n he_o make_v a_o promise_n to_o abraham_n only_o that_o out_o of_o his_o seed_n a_o sprought_n shall_v issue_n in_o who_o all_o nation_n and_o kindred_n of_o the_o earth_n shall_v be_v bless_v for_o he_o do_v not_o say_v in_o thou_o all_o nation_n shall_v be_v bless_v but_o in_o thy_o seed_n in_o who_o all_o man_n true_o shall_v be_v reward_v with_o life_n everlasting_a as_o many_o as_o will_v receive_v he_o as_o on_o the_o other_o side_n he_o that_o do_v refuse_v he_o shall_v obtain_v no_o mercy_n nor_o favour_n at_o god_n hand_n and_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v doubt_v that_o this_o seed_n be_v the_o very_a son_n of_o god_n who_o if_o the_o jew_n will_v once_o at_o the_o last_o love_o embrace_v they_o shall_v no_o more_o be_v exclude_v from_o the_o benefit_n of_o the_o promise_n but_o for_o as_o much_o as_o they_o do_v yet_o not_o only_o refuse_v he_o but_o continue_v also_o their_o canker_a outrage_n against_o he_o with_o execrable_a curse_n and_o cruel_a spoil_v this_o seed_n in_o his_o member_n so_o horrible_o there_o be_v no_o cause_n why_o they_o shall_v presume_v to_o challenge_v any_o prerogative_a of_o the_o promise_n sith_o the_o person_n can_v not_o prescribe_v upon_o the_o promise_n as_o make_v unto_o he_o but_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o seed_n but_o why_o be_v not_o this_o benefit_n of_o faith_n and_o belief_n in_o christ_n imparten_v to_o the_o jew_n as_o well_o as_o to_o the_o gentile_n indifferent_o some_o question_n in_o deed_n may_v be_v move_v herein_o if_o the_o same_o have_v not_o already_o be_v discuss_v by_o his_o prophet_n sufficient_o to_o wit_n that_o the_o jew_n themselves_o shall_v loathe_v reject_v yea_o and_o procure_v the_o death_n of_o their_o own_o messhias_n and_o if_o yet_o any_o person_n will_v seem_v so_o

with_o this_o ●itte_n and_o reasonable_a answer_n whereas_o the_o jew_n be_v thorough_o persuade_v in_o mind_n and_o confirm_v in_o conscience_n by_o custom_n of_o long_a continuance_n abolish_v that_o no_o righteousness_n be_v acceptable_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n but_o that_o which_o consist_v in_o perform_v the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n and_o celebrate_v the_o sacrifice_n and_o

by_o the_o undermine_v and_o utter_a overthrow_n of_o the_o name_n of_o that_o nation_n the_o whole_a common_a wealth_n thereof_o together_o with_o all_o the_o sacrifice_n and_o ceremony_n appertain_v
