to_o give_v a_o eminent_a instance_n of_o the_o efficacy_n of_o christ_n mediation_n in_o slay_v the_o enmity_n that_o be_v among_o the_o people_n of_o god_n themselves_o and_o of_o his_o be_v our_o

yet_o here_o but_o by_o way_n of_o confirmation_n of_o our_o faith_n in_o this_o other_o of_o reconciliation_n among_o ourselves_o for_o the_o aim_n of_o its_o introduction_n here_o be_v but_o to_o show_v how_o that_o christ_n in_o reconcile_a we_o to_o god_n himself_o carry_v it_o so_o and_o do_v it_o under_o such_o a_o consideration_n and_o respect_n as_o necessary_o draw_v on_o and_o involve_v our_o reconciliation_n one_o with_o another_o namely_o this_o that_o he_o reconcile_v we_o unto_o god_n in_o one_o body_n among_o ourselves_o it_o be_v a_o happy_a clause_n that_o addition_n in_o one_o body_n and_o on_o purpose_v insert_v thereinto_o to_o show_v that_o when_o god_n be_v to_o transact_v our_o peace_n and_o reconciliation_n to_o and_o with_o christ_n hang_v upon_o the_o

we_o i_o meet_v but_o with_o one_o eminent_a difficulty_n in_o the_o coherence_n and_o contexture_n of_o these_o word_n and_o that_o be_v the_o connexion_n of_o these_o two_o verse_n v._n 15._o 16._o as_o namely_o of_o these_o word_n and_o that_o he_o may_v reconcile_v we_o to_o god_n v._n 16._o etc._n etc._n with_o the_o former_a v._n 15._o have_v abolish_v the_o enmity_n etc._n etc._n now_o this_o enmity_n mention_v v._o 14._o 15._o be_v evident_o intend_v of_o the_o enmity_n between_o jew_n and_o gentile_a {non-roman}_o as_o be_v clear_a by_o its_o connexion_n with_o v._n 14._o who_o have_v make_v of_o twain_o one_o and_o break_v down_o the_o partition_n wall_n have_v slay_v the_o enmity_n now_o the_o twain_o or_o the_o two_o thus_o make_v one_o between_o who_o this_o enmity_n be_v be_v not_o god_n and_o we_o but_o the_o jew_n and_o the_o gentile_n of_o who_o he_o have_v speak_v in_o the_o former_a verse_n for_o he_o add_v that_o he_o may_v create_v both_o in_o one_o new_a man_n which_o can_v not_o be_v say_v of_o god_n and_o we_o now_o than_o the_o difficulty_n be_v what_o reconciliation_n to_o god_n in_o one_o body_n that_o shall_v be_v v._n 16._o which_o the_o apostle_n make_v the_o consequent_a of_o have_v slay_v the_o enmity_n between_o these_o jew_n and_o gentile_n for_o the_o connexion_n seem_v to_o import_v the_o one_o a_o consequent_a of_o the_o

to_o god_n must_v be_v either_o mean_v of_o the_o work_n of_o reconciliation_n wrought_v in_o we_o whereby_o we_o turn_v unto_o god_n as_o 1_o cor._n 15._o 5._o be_v you_o reconcile_v to_o god_n or_o that_o reconciliation_n which_o christ_n wrought_v for_o we_o unto_o god_n and_o whether_o of_o these_o shall_v be_v intend_v 16._o be_v the_o question_n and_o so_o withal_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o those_o word_n v._n 16._o and_o that_o he_o may_v reconcile_v both_o unto_o god_n be_v to_o be_v cast_v unto_o the_o 15._o verse_n as_o a_o part_n of_o the_o discourse_n thereof_o or_o do_v not_o rather_o begin_v a_o new_a and_o entire_a discourse_n full_a and_o complete_a within_o themselves_o for_o the_o first_o stand_v many_o interpreter_n and_o the_o chief_a reason_n for_o that_o opinion_n be_v {non-roman}_o the_o coherence_n of_o these_o word_n with_o those_o next_o immediate_o forego_v have_v abolish_v the_o enmity_n that_o he_o may_v create_v in_o himself_o of_o twain_o one_o new_a man_n and_o that_o he_o may_v reconcile_v both_o unto_o god_n etc._n etc._n the_o resolve_n of_o which_o seem_v to_o be_v this_o that_o christ_n have_v on_o the_o cross_n wrought_v in_o himself_o this_o great_a work_n for_o we_o to_o slay_v the_o enmity_n between_o we_o and_o make_v both_o one_o by_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o himself_o and_o this_o as_o the_o antecedent_n work_n that_o yet_o there_o remain_v two_o other_o as_o consequent_a work_n as_o the_o effect_n that_o follow_v therefrom_o namely_o 1._o to_o create_v both_o one_o new_a man_n so_o make_v actual_o peace_n between_o themselves_o and_o 2._o to_o bring_v they_o both_o into_o a_o actual_a state_n of_o reconciliation_n with_o god_n by_o work_v reconciliation_n in_o they_o towards_o god_n so_o make_v they_o one_o body_n and_o the_o reason_n for_o this_o interpretation_n further_o be_v that_o both_o these_o two_o be_v bring_v in_o and_o yoke_v in_o the_o like_a tenor_n of_o speech_n {non-roman}_o that_o
