be_v not_o in_o man_n to_o forbid_v a_o shower_n to_o fall_v where_o god_n have_v appoint_v it_o no_o more_o be_v it_o in_o man_n to_o stop_v the_o course_n of_o the_o gospel_n where_o god_n have_v

the_o very_a purpose_n of_o paul_n his_o adversary_n ask_v of_o he_o why_o do_v thou_o say_v that_o the_o jew_n be_v reject_v where_o have_v they_o not_o hear_v the_o word_n preach_v yes_o in_o deed_n say_v paul_n they_o have_v hear_v it_o can_v be_v deny_v for_o the_o sound_n go_v forth_o through_o all_o the_o earth_n etc._n etc._n the_o gentile_n have_v hear_v much_o more_o the_o jew_n amongst_o who_o the_o word_n begin_v first_o and_o be_v continue_v until_o the_o jew_n live_v in_o such_o contempt_n of_o the_o word_n that_o the_o disciple_n be_v in_o a_o manner_n compel_v to_o go_v to_o the_o gentile_n as_o they_o themselves_o confess_v 13.46_o act._n 13.46_o the_o apostle_n than_o do_v confess_v that_o the_o jew_n have_v hear_v the_o word_n but_o yet_o it_o must_v stand_v that_o they_o be_v reject_v and_o so_o his_o very_a purpose_n be_v to_o give_v they_o secret_o to_o understande_v that_o the_o cause_n why_o the_o jew_n be_v reject_v be_v not_o because_o they_o have_v not_o the_o use_n of_o the_o word_n but_o because_o they_o contemn_v the_o same_o word_n which_o they_o have_v as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v the_o jew_n in_o deed_n have_v the_o word_n it_o be_v preach_v among_o they_o but_o yet_o god_n have_v in_o justice_n cut_v they_o off_o because_o they_o despise_v the_o word_n and_o here_o the_o apostle_n will_v have_v we_o to_o learn_v not_o only_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o cut_n off_o of_o the_o jew_n but_o also_o he_o will_v lay_v before_o we_o a_o great_a cause_n of_o god_n anger_n and_o of_o many_o plague_n which_o in_o all_o age_n fall_v upon_o man_n and_o that_o be_v the_o contempt_n of_o his_o word_n there_o be_v nothing_o do_v more_o argue_v a_o child_n to_o be_v disobedient_a and_o careless_a to_o do_v his_o father_n

that_o god_n have_v more_o care_n of_o then_o that_o his_o word_n shall_v not_o be_v despyse_v neither_o any_o sin_n which_o god_n have_v more_o severe_o punish_v at_o all_o time_n than_o the_o

when_o paul_n and_o barnabas_n have_v preach_v to_o the_o jew_n and_o they_o have_v no_o care_n to_o hear_v at_o length_n they_o take_v their_o leave_n thus_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n shall_v first_o be_v speak_v unto_o you_o but_o see_v you_o put_v it_o from_o you_o and_o judge_v yourselves_o unworthy_a of_o eternal_a life_n behold_v we_o turn_v to_o the_o gentile_n thus_o it_o be_v with_o the_o jew_n this_o be_v their_o contempt_n of_o the_o word_n thus_o god_n do_v threaten_v they_o and_o thus_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v let_v we_o learn_v by_o their_o example_n to_o avoid_v the_o like_a contempt_n of_o his_o word_n lest_o the_o like_a punishment_n fall_v upon_o us._n god_n be_v the_o same_o god_n now_o that_o he_o be_v then_o justice_n be_v the_o same_o

yet_o we_o think_v we_o have_v one_o shift_n to_o escape_v this_o punishment_n which_o we_o persuade_v ourselves_o will_v deliver_v we_o when_o all_o other_o help_v fail_v and_o that_o be_v this_o we_o will_v pray_v unto_o god_n and_o he_o will_v delyver_v we_o out_o of_o all_o adversity_n he_o have_v promise_v he_o will_v sure_o perform_v it_o 50.15_o psal_n 50.15_o and_o true_a it_o be_v god_n have_v promise_v to_o hear_v and_o delyver_v all_o those_o which_o call_v upon_o he_o in_o their_o trouble_n for_o he_o be_v nigh_o to_o all_o such_o as_o call_v upon_o he_o 145.18_o psal_n 145.18_o so_o it_o be_v do_v in_o truth_n but_o if_o we_o will_v have_v our_o prayer_n hear_v there_o be_v diverse_a thing_n which_o we_o must_v observe_v in_o prayer_n among_o which_o this_o be_v not_o the_o least_o we_o must_v take_v heed_n that_o we_o be_v not_o despiser_n of_o his_o word_n for_o he_o that_o do_v remove_v his_o ear_n from_o hear_v of_o the_o law_n 28.9_o pro._n 28.9_o his_o

the_o word_n preach_v among_o they_o but_o this_o do_v not_o prosit_fw-la they_o because_o they_o regard_v not_o to_o hear_v or_o follow_v the_o same_o if_o we_o make_v this_o our_o own_o case_n it_o be_v thus_o with_o we_o we_o have_v the_o word_n preach_v god_n be_v thank_v for_o it_o and_o i_o pray_v god_n continue_v it_o as_o no_o doubt_n he_o will_v if_o our_o wickedness_n do_v not_o compel_v he_o in_o justice_n to_o take_v it_o from_o we_o but_o if_o we_o be_v despiser_n of_o his_o word_n and_o that_o either_o we_o be_v not_o careful_a to_o hear_v it_o or_o diligent_a to_o obey_v it_o this_o word_n god_n will_v take_v from_o we_o and_o give_v it_o to_o some_o other_o nation_n which_o will_v bring_v forth_o fruit_n worthy_a of_o the_o preach_n of_o this_o word_n and_o not_o only_o

as_o shall_v seem_v best_a unto_o he_o and_o then_o all_o our_o shift_n shall_v not_o help_v no_o if_o we_o will_v say_v with_o the_o jew_n we_o have_v hear_v the_o word_n we_o shall_v have_v this_o answer_n it_o be_v nothing_o to_o hear_v unless_o we_o be_v obedient_a and_o faithful_a yet_o if_o we_o can_v say_v we_o have_v prophesy_v in_o thy_o name_n and_o in_o thy_o name_n have_v we_o cast_v out_o deville_n and_o wrought_v miracle_n yet_o if_o this_o be_v not_o join_v with_o faith_n and_o obedience_n it_o have_v but_o this_o reward_n depart_v from_o i_o you_o worker_n of_o iniquity_n i_o know_v you_o not_o it_o follow_v in_o the_o nineteeen_o verse_n and_o so_o forth_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o chapter_n for_o i_o must_v go_v over_o it_o with_o speed_n but_o i_o demand_v do_v not_o israel_n know_v god_n etc._n etc._n paul_n have_v grant_v that_o israel_n have_v the_o word_n and_o yet_o they_o be_v reject_v because_o they_o contemn_v the_o same_o word_n but_o this_o will_v not_o satisfy_v the_o jew_n but_o they_o will_v yet_o have_v a_o other_o fling_n at_o paul_n and_o that_o be_v this_o thou_o tell_v we_o say_v they_o that_o notwithstanding_o we_o have_v the_o word_n preach_v yet_o be_v we_o reject_v just_o because_o we_o hear_v not_o with_o fruit_n but_o tell_v we_o this_o now_o do_v not_o israel_n know_v god_n do_v not_o israel_n hear_v profitable_o if_o thou_o will_v deny_v it_o 76.1_o psal_n 76.1_o and_o say_v israel_n do_v not_o know_v david_n will_v convince_v thou_o who_o say_v god_n be_v know_v in_o juda_n his_o name_n be_v great_a in_o israel_n but_o if_o thou_o will_v confess_v that_o israel_n do_v know_v god_n then_o how_o can_v thou_o say_v true_o that_o we_o be_v cast_v off_o of_o god_n because_o have_v the_o word_n we_o bring_v not_o forth_o the_o fruit_n thereof_o and_o here_o they_o think_v they_o have_v drive_v paul_n into_o a_o strait_n but_o paul_n answer_v this_o very_a well_o &_o in_o many_o word_n the_o sum_n of_o his_o answer_n be_v that_o there_o be_v a_o few_o in_o israel_n which_o do_v he_o be_v with_o fruit_n and_o know_v god_n and_o they_o be_v not_o reject_v neither_o do_v the_o apostle_n here_o speak_v of_o they_o but_o for_o the_o most_o part_n the_o jew_n be_v wicked_a and_o rebellious_a despiser_n of_o god_n and_o his_o word_n and_o therefore_o be_v just_o cast_v off_o so_o then_o paul_n do_v answer_v thus_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v now_o cut_v off_o by_o god_n justice_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v the_o visible_a church_n of_o god_n as_o before_o but_o not_o every_o particular_a man_n cut_v off_o for_o god_n have_v still_o reserve_v unto_o himself_o a_o number_n according_a to_o the_o election_n of_o grace_n which_o no_o doubt_n shall_v be_v save_v i_o may_v not_o if_o i_o will_v nor_o i_o need_v not_o if_o i_o may_v to_o stand_v upon_o the_o substance_n of_o this_o answer_n namely_o to_o show_v how_o it_o be_v say_v that_o israel_n be_v cut_v off_o and_o yet_o god_n have_v his_o church_n in_o israel_n it_o have_v be_v handle_v at_o large_a in_o this_o chapter_n already_o but_o will_v fall_v out_o more_o plain_a in_o the_o chapter_n follow_v as_o will_v well_o appear_v in_o the_o next_o lecture_n for_o the_o manner_n of_o his_o answer_n paul_n fear_v lest_o by_o tell_v the_o reiecit_v of_o the_o jew_n he_o shall_v grow_v in_o mislike_v and_o hatred_n with_o they_o will_v not_o answer_v in_o his_o own_o word_n but_o in_o the_o word_n of_o moses_n &_o esay_n his_o first_o place_n be_v in_o deut._n 32._o for_o 21._o second_o and_o third_o in_o the_o beegin_n of_o
