have_v peace_n with_o all_o man_n dear_a beleve_v in_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n this_o epistle_n or_o letter_n of_o saint_n paul_n write_v unto_o the_o roman_n be_v divide_v into_o two_o several_a part_n in_o the_o first_o part_n saint_n paul_n instruct_v and_o tell_v they_o of_o the_o begin_n of_o their_o religion_n of_o the_o foundation_n of_o their_o faith_n of_o the_o grace_n whereunto_o they_o be_v call_v by_o the_o merit_n and_o death_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o for_o because_o he_o see_v and_o well_o perceive_v that_o even_o such_o of_o the_o roman_n who_o have_v receive_v the_o faith_n to_o be_v farce_v from_o the_o work_n of_o the_o faith_n and_o the_o profession_n of_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n therefore_o he_o instruct_v they_o that_o they_o know_v the_o testament_n of_o christ_n that_o they_o know_v the_o covenant_n of_o their_o salvation_n and_o that_o they_o shall_v remember_v that_o where_o before_o time_n they_o be_v stranger_n from_o god_n clean_a without_o any_o promise_n of_o grace_n enemy_n unto_o god_n and_o the_o child_n of_o perdition_n be_v now_o call_v unto_o god_n be_v become_v the_o son_n of_o abraham_n god_n dear_a friend_n and_o the_o child_n of_o adoption_n and_o this_o not_o of_o any_o desert_n of_o they_o not_o by_o any_o merit_n of_o their_o own_o but_o only_o through_o the_o great_a grace_n and_o mere_a mercy_n of_o jesus_n christ_n for_o the_o whole_a world_n be_v cover_v under_o wickedness_n the_o whole_a world_n i_o say_v the_o jew_n only_o except_v be_v overwhelm_v in_o sin_n and_o have_v no_o promise_n at_o all_o of_o any_o salvation_n by_o god_n but_o yet_o when_o christ_n jesus_n the_o saviour_n of_o all_o the_o world_n appear_v and_o the_o jew_n will_v not_o acknowledge_v he_o their_o redeemer_n it_o please_v god_n by_o he_o to_o save_v the_o whole_a world_n and_o call_v unto_o his_o grace_n aswell_o the_o gentile_a as_o the_o jew_n the_o uncircumcised_a as_o the_o circumcise_a and_o this_o do_v he_o only_o of_o his_o infinite_a and_o great_a goodness_n and_o therefore_o saint_n paul_n in_o the_o conclusion_n hereof_o cry_v out_o and_o say_v 33_o o_o the_o deepness_n of_o the_o abundant_a wisdom_n and_o knowledge_n of_o god_n how_o unsearchable_a be_v his_o judgement_n and_o his_o way_n past_o find_v out_o who_o know_v the_o mind_n of_o the_o lord_n who_o be_v his_o counsellor_n who_o have_v give_v unto_o he_o first_o that_o he_o may_v be_v recompense_v again_o and_o therefore_o he_o conclude_v thus_o 36_o quia_fw-la in_o illo_fw-la ex_fw-la illo_fw-la &_o per_fw-la illum_fw-la omne_fw-la illi_fw-la omnis_fw-la honour_n &_o gloria_fw-la for_o of_o he_o through_o he_o and_o for_o he_o be_v all_o thing_n to_o he_o therefore_o be_v glory_n for_o ever_o thus_o do_v saint_n paul_n conclude_v the_o first_o part_n to_o know_v the_o covenant_n of_o their_o salvation_n to_o know_v the_o greatness_n of_o god_n mercy_n whereunto_o they_o be_v call_v and_o to_o give_v the_o praise_n and_o thanks_n therefore_o to_o he_o alone_o in_o the_o second_o part_n which_o i_o now_o handle_v he_o instruct_v they_o of_o a_o virtuous_a life_n of_o honest_a conversation_n and_o upright_o live_v among_o all_o man_n for_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o change_v our_o religion_n it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o alter_v our_o faith_n but_o we_o must_v also_o change_v our_o old_a life_n we_o must_v walk_v in_o newness_n of_o life_n we_o must_v walk_v in_o holiness_n we_o must_v walk_v as_o become_v the_o professor_n of_o a_o new_a religion_n as_o become_v they_o that_o be_v of_o a_o right_a faith_n as_o become_v all_o such_o as_o confess_v god_n and_o his_o gospel_n and_o therefore_o s._n paul_n write_v unto_o the_o hebrew_n say_v 19_o see_v that_o we_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n have_v liberty_n to_o enter_v into_o the_o holy_a place_n let_v we_o draw_v nigh_o with_o a_o true_a heart_n in_o a_o sure_a faith_n let_v we_o provoke_v unto_o love_n and_o to_o good_a work_n so_o in_o another_o place_n he_o say_v you_o be_v sometime_o darkness_n 8._o but_o now_o you_o be_v light_a in_o the_o lord_n walk_v therefore_o as_o become_v the_o child_n of_o light_n so_o god_n himself_o when_o he_o have_v choose_v the_o jew_n to_o be_v his_o people_n and_o they_o alone_o among_o all_o other_o nation_n to_o worship_v he_o say_v 10._o o_o israel_n what_o be_v it_o that_o i_o require_v or_o seek_v for_o at_o thy_o hand_n but_o that_o thou_o love_v i_o and_o keep_v my_o commandment_n this_o be_v the_o only_a thing_n that_o i_o will_v have_v you_o to_o do_v that_o you_o keep_v my_o law_n and_o walk_v in_o my_o precept_n therefore_o saint_n paul_n himself_o also_o after_o he_o have_v declare_v and_o set_v forth_o at_o large_a the_o great_a goodness_n and_o mercy_n of_o god_n he_o say_v i_o beseech_v you_o that_o you_o make_v your_o body_n a_o quick_a and_o lively_a sacrifice_n holy_a and_o acceptable_a unto_o god_n which_o be_v your_o reasonable_a serve_v of_o god_n renew_v your_o spirit_n make_v yourselves_o new_a heart_n that_o it_o may_v show_v and_o appear_v in_o you_o that_o you_o be_v reconcile_v unto_o god_n that_o you_o be_v the_o child_n of_o adoption_n and_o professor_n of_o god_n holy_a name_n therefore_o be_v not_o high_o mind_v be_v not_o wise_a in_o your_o own_o opinion_n recompense_n no_o man_n evil_a for_o evil_n provide_v aforehand_o thing_n honest_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o all_o man_n and_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a have_v peace_n with_o all_o man_n mark_v well_o my_o brethren_n these_o word_n by_o the_o way_n if_o it_o be_v possible_a have_v peace_n with_o all_o man_n christ_n though_o he_o be_v the_o author_n so_o peace_n and_o the_o true_a
