receive_v by_o the_o law_n of_o which_o thing_n he_o render_v also_o in_o the_o cause_n for_o where_o the_o law_n be_v there_o immediate_o follow_v transgression_n for_o such_o be_v our_o imbecility_n

by_o the_o law_n therefore_o or_o by_o work_n we_o can_v by_o no_o mean_n attain_v unto_o righteousness_n but_o to_o the_o intent_n he_o may_v the_o more_o easy_o persuade_v the_o same_o thing_n viii_o he_o insert_v two_o inconvenience_n which_o if_o righteousness_n be_v not_o to_o be_v look_v for_o but_o by_o the_o law_n shall_v of_o necessity_n follow_v if_o righteousness_n or_o the_o

of_o god_n of_o none_o effect_n but_o that_o it_o be_v a_o very_a absurd_a matter_n in_o case_n any_o shall_v avouch_v it_o thus_o to_o be_v every_o man_n perceive_v for_o god_o undoubted_o perform_v that_o which_o he_o promise_v as_o he_o that_o never_o cease_v to_o be_v true_a and_o just_a of_o his_o word_n and_o where_o as_o be_v the_o certain_a firm_a &_o infallible_a promise_n of_o god_n there_o our_o faith_n ought_v in_o no_o wise_a to_o waver_v or_o doubt_v let_v these_o thing_n therefore_o he_o take_v in_o stead_n of_o the_o eight_o argument_n but_o now_o again_o the_o apostle_n stay_v somewhat_o at_o this_o ix_o that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n testify_v that_o the_o promise_n belong_v not_o only_o unto_o abraham_n but_o also_o unto_o a_o his_o seed_n in_o which_o consideration_n be_v occupy_v he_o remember_v that_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n the_o gentile_n also_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n for_o it_o be_v say_v unto_o abraham_n gen._n 17._o i_o have_v appoint_v thou_o to_o be_v the_o father_n of_o many_o nation_n wherefore_o hereupon_o also_o he_o produce_v a_o other_o argument_n which_o be_v frame_v in_o this_o sort_n the_o promise_v spiritual_a benefit_n shall_v redound_v also_o to_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n but_o the_o gentile_n be_v know_v to_o be_v the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n ergo_fw-la the_o promise_a benefit_n shall_v come_v in_o like_a manner_n to_o the_o gentile_n though_o destitute_a of_o the_o law_n and_o void_a of_o good_a work_n be_v this_o therefore_o the_o nine_o argument_n take_v of_o the_o proper_a signification_n of_o the_o word_n gentile_n or_o nation_n and_o it_o belong_v to_o the_o place_n of_o invention_n of_o which_o mention_n be_v make_v in_o the_o five_o observation_n x_o the_o ten_o argument_n be_v add_v to_o derive_v of_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n themselves_o which_o kind_n of_o proof_n we_o show_v to_o be_v meet_a and_o requisite_n in_o the_o four_o observation_n abraham_n say_v he_o above_o hope_n believe_v under_o hope_n that_o he_o shall_v be_v the_o father_n of_o many_o nation_n 15_o according_a to_o that_o which_o be_v speak_v to_o he_o so_o shall_v thy_o seed_n be_v and_o he_o not_o weak_a in_o the_o faith_n consider_v not_o his_o own_o body_n etc_n etc_n the_o apostle_n in_o deed_n describe_v the_o nature_n &_o force_n of_o the_o faith_n which_o be_v

be_v do_v such_o and_o so_o great_a a_o faith_n therefore_o see_v it_o shine_v forth_o in_o abraham_n it_o please_v god_n with_o merciful_a eye_n to_o behold_v it_o before_o all_o other_o work_n &_o to_o impute_v it_o for_o righteousness_n xi_o last_o of_o all_o the_o holy_a apostle_n go_v about_o to_o bring_v his_o explanation_n to_o all_o end_n avouch_v that_o the_o same_o mean_a or_o way_n
