dark_a but_o clear_a and_o evident_a that_o all_o have_v ever_o have_v or_o may_v have_v have_v if_o they_o have_v will_v christ_n aswell_o as_o the_o law_n give_v unto_o they_o ereu._n now_o indeed_o

there_o remain_v no_o scruple_n nor_o doubt_n in_o my_o mind_n that_o disputation_n of_o paul_n trouble_v many_o by_o reason_n it_o be_v handle_v so_o dark_o sure_o i_o be_o of_o opinion_n that_o that_o place_n be_v one_o of_o those_o whereof_o peter_n write_v that_o there_o be_v certain_a dark_a thing_n in_o paul_n epistle_n 3._o ●_o pet._n 3._o which_o the_o unlearned_a &_o weak_a do_v

peter_n show_v who_o those_o be_v that_o wrest_v the_o scripture_n of_o they_o or_o we_o we_o say_v with_o peter_n that_o the_o long_o suffer_v of_o god_n be_v salvation_n in_o that_o god_n will_v have_v no_o man_n perish_v but_o will_v have_v all_o come_v to_o repentance_n and_o this_o be_v that_o say_v peter_z vers_n 15._o etc._n etc._n which_o our_o belove_a brother_n paul_n in_o all_o his_o epistle_n speak_v of_o among_o the_o which_o some_o thing_n be_v hard_a to_o be_v understand_v which_o some_o pervert_v to_o their_o destruction_n they_o say_v god_n have_v reprobate_v some_o and_o the_o great_a number_n and_o that_o before_o they_o be_v bear_v &_o have_v do_v evil_a for_o who_o there_o be_v never_o mean_n of_o salvation_n because_o god_n will_v have_v they_o perish_v for_o y●_z be_v his_o good_a pleasure_n now_o these_o word_n of_o peter_n as_o they_o judge_v our_o adversary_n to_o be_v perverter_n of_o the_o scripture_n so_o may_v they_o satisfy_v every_o godly_a mind_a man_n that_o paul_n meaning_n be_v not_o contrary_a to_o peter_n they_o write_v both_o by_o one_o spirit_n nay_o than_o paul_n own_o meaning_n be_v else_o where_o in_o the_o same_o epistle_n r_o

therefore_o may_v be_v a_o entrance_n but_o let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o word_n of_o paul_n rom._n 9_o in_o this_o 9th_o chapter_n and_o so_o in_o most_o of_o this_o epistle_n the_o main_a subject_n
