for_o chrisostome_n as_o we_o have_v declare_v think_v that_o paul_n meaning_n be_v earnest_o to_o show_v how_o firm_o he_o be_v knit_v unto_o the_o love_n of_o god_n namely_o that_o for_o god_n

say_v that_o those_o who_o god_n have_v choose_v can_v by_o no_o violence_n be_v separate_v from_o his_o love_n wherefore_o it_o may_v seem_v wonderful_a how_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o hebrews_n

to_o begin_v a_o new_a matter_n to_o entreat_v of_o for_o hitherto_o he_o have_v prove_v that_o justification_n come_v not_o of_o human_a wisdom_n nor_o philosophy_n nor_o also_o of_o our_o work_n nor_o by_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o law_n but_o only_o by_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n but_o there_o remain_v two_o other_o thing_n of_o great_a weyght_n which_o it_o behove_v he_o to_o

have_v spend_v his_o labour_n in_o vain_a the_o one_o of_o they_o be_v that_o the_o promise_n of_o salvation_n be_v make_v unto_o the_o posterity_n of_o abraham_n and_o unto_o the_o seed_n of_o israel_n but_o now_o for_o as_o much_o as_o that_o kind_n of_o man_n receive_v not_o the_o faith_n in_o christ_n of_o necessity_n it_o follow_v either_o that_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n be_v vain_a or_o if_o the_o jew_n be_v save_v then_o may_v justification_n be_v without_o faith_n in_o christ_n the_o second_o be_v there_o be_v never_o at_o any_o time_n in_o any_o nation_n so_o great_a righteousness_n so_o great_a a_o endeavour_n of_o piety_n so_o diligent_a a_o observation_n of_o the_o law_n as_o be_v amongst_o the_o jew_n and_o it_o be_v absurd_a if_o we_o shall_v say_v that_o

name_o that_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n be_v firm_a and_o that_o a_o upright_a justice_n be_v acceptable_a unto_o god_n unto_o these_o thing_n paul_n answer_v in_o these_o three_o chapiter_n follow_v
