counsel_n of_o paul_n be_v this_o that_o there_o be_v a_o more_o precious_a reward_n offer_v then_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o refuse_v affliction_n for_o what_o be_v more_o to_o be_v wish_v for_o

our_o glory_n to_o we_o that_o worthy_o our_o hope_n be_v match_v or_o compare_v to_o present_a possession_n and_o add_v that_o paul_n according_a to_o the_o phrase_n of_o the_o hebrew_n tongue_n have_v use_v the_o pretertence_n in_o the_o verb_n for_o the_o present_a tense_n sure_o it_o be_v out_o of_o question_n that_o a_o continual_a action_n be_v note_v humble_v the_o godly_a loose_a as_o

the_o hope_n of_o salvation_n so_o that_o they_o lose_v no_o jot_n of_o glory_n while_o they_o be_v humble_v for_o albeit_o the_o present_a misery_n do_v deform_v it_o before_o the_o world_n yet_o before_o god_n and_o his_o angel_n it_o always_o appear_v perfect_a this_o therefore_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o paul_n by_o this_o gradation_n that_o the_o affliction_n of_o the_o faithful_a whereby_o they_o be_v humble_v do_v not_o apperteyne_a to_o any_o other_o end_n then_o that_o they_o have_v obtain_v the_o glory_n of_o the_o celestial_a kingdom_n may_v come_v unto_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n with_o who_o they_o be_v now_o crucify_v 31_o what_o shall_v we_o say_v then_o to_o these_o thing_n if_o god_n be_v on_o our_o side_n who_o can_v be_v against_o

mind_n be_v to_o put_v down_o remission_n of_o sin_n for_o righteousness_n and_o that_o without_o such_o exact_a obedience_n as_o the_o law_n require_v therefore_o the_o word_n of_o the_o gospel_n wherein_o we_o be_v not_o command_v to_o merit_v righteousness_n by_o work_n but_o to_o embrace_v it_o by_o faith_n be_v free_o offer_v suffice_v to_o pacify_v man_n conscience_n and_o establish_v
