but_o all_o have_v not_o obey_v the_o gospel_n this_o perteyn_v nothing_o to_o that_o argument_n which_o paul_n prosecute_v and_o follow_v in_o this_o gradation_n and_o therefore_o he_o do_v not_o repeat_v it_o in_o the_o conclusion_n which_o follow_v strayghtwayes_o but_o yet_o it_o be_v very_o necessary_a &_o expedient_a for_o paul_n to_o join_v this_o also_o in_o steed_n of_o a_o preoccupation_n lest_o that_o where_o as_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o word_n do_v always_o ordinary_o go_v before_o faith_n even_o as_o the_o seed_n be_v before_o the_o corn_n any_o man_n shall_v reason_v or_o draw_v a_o argument_n from_o the_o contrary_a part_n and_o infer_v that_o faith_n must_v needs_o follow_v wheresoever_o the_o word_n be_v for_o so_o may_v israel_n glory_n who_o never_o

therefore_o it_o be_v meet_v and_o requisite_a for_o he_o to_o declare_v this_o in_o his_o way_n or_o passage_n that_o many_o be_v call_v who_o be_v not_o choose_v and_o herit_v a_o place_n out_o of_o esai_n and_o john_n where_o the_o prophet_n be_v about_o to_o publish_v that_o excellent_a oracle_n of_o the_o death_n and_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n do_v first_o with_o admiration_n and_o wonder_n speak_v of_o the_o pawcitie_n and_o fewness_n of_o believer_n which_o in_o spirit_n appear_v such_o to_o he_o as_o force_v he_o to_o cry_v out_o lord_n who_o have_v believe_v our_o report_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o word_n which_o we_o have_v preach_v for_o where_o as_o the_o hebrew_n word_n shemugnah_n signify_v speech_n passive_o the_o grecian_n have_v expound_v it_o acoen_n and_o the_o latin_n sermonem_fw-la albeit_o improper_o yet_o not_o in_o any_o obscure_a or_o doubtful_a sense_n now_o we_o see_v why_o this_o exception_n be_v add_v by_o the_o way_n to_o wit_n that_o no_o man_n shall_v think_v faith_n do_v necessary_o follow_v wheresoever_o the_o prethe_a of_o the_o word_n do_v flourishe_v notwithstanding_o he_o note_v the_o reason_n afterward_o when_o he_o add_v to_o who_o

the_o elect_a whereby_o it_o be_v evident_a how_o foolysh_o some_o man_n reason_n that_o all_o be_v indifferent_o elect_v and_o choose_v because_o the_o doctrine_n of_o salvation_n be_v universal_a and_o god_n do_v indifferent_o invite_v all_o man_n unto_o he_o for_o the_o generality_n of_o the_o promise_n alone_o of_o itself_o and_o by_o itself_o do_v not_o make_v salvation_n common_a and_o

hear_v etc._n etc._n by_o the_o conclusion_n we_o see_v what_o paul_n do_v respect_n in_o frame_v that_o his_o gradation_n namely_o to_o show_v that_o wheresoever_o faith_n be_v there_o god_n have_v already_o give_v a_o manifest_a and_o evident_a sign_n of_o his_o eletion_n second_o that_o he_o have_v pour_v out_o his_o blessing_n by_o the_o ministration_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o he_o may_v lighten_v the_o mind_n of_o man_n by_o faith_n and_o by_o the_o same_o faith_n also_o may_v prepare_v they_o to_o call_v upon_o his_o name_n wherein_o salvation_n be_v promise_v to_o all_o and_o that_o by_o this_o mean_v it_o be_v testify_v how_o the_o gentile_n be_v admit_v by_o he_o into_o the_o fellowship_n of_o the_o eternal_a inheritance_n and_o this_o a_o worthy_a and_o excellent_a place_n concern_v the_o virtue_n and_o efficatie_n of_o preach_v because_o he_o do_v testify_v that_o faith_n proceed_v and_o spring_v from_o it_o he_o confess_v true_o of_o late_a that_o of_o itself_o it_o profit_v nothing_o but_o where_o it_o please_v the_o lord_n to_o work_v this_o be_v the_o instrument_n of_o his_o power_n and_o true_o both_o the_o voice_n of_o man_n be_v unable_a by_o

the_o light_n of_o faith_n be_v a_o more_o high_a and_o excellent_a thing_n then_o that_o it_o can_v be_v give_v and_o bestow_v by_o man_n and_o yet_o all_o this_o do_v not_o hinder_v but_o god_n may_v work_v effectual_o by_o the_o voice_n of_o man_n so_o that_o he_o may_v beget_v in_o we_o faith_n by_o his_o ministry_n furthermore_o we_o must_v note_v that_o faith_n be_v not_o ground_v upon_o any_o other_o doctrine_n then_o upon_o the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o paul_n do_v not_o say_v that_o faith_n do_v proceed_v from_o every_o doctrine_n only_o faith_n be_v ground_v upon_o the_o word_n of_o god_n only_o but_o he_o restrayn_v it_o by_o express_a word_n to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o restraynte_n be_v absurd_a if_o faith_n may_v lean_v or_o stay_v itself_o upon_o the_o decree_n of_o man_n therefore_o all_o the_o invention_n of_o man_n must_v cease_v when_o as_o the_o certainty_n of_o faith_n be_v handle_v by_o this_o mean_n also_o do_v that_o papistical_a dream_n and_o
