be_v this_o common_o man_n live_v as_o it_o be_v without_o the_o law_n and_o think_v it_o sufficient_a if_o they_o do_v not_o gross_o offend_v not_o consider_v that_o the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v a_o law_n to_o our_o thought_n and_o affection_n and_o all_o the_o circumstance_n of_o our_o action_n that_o we_o may_v hereafter_o make_v good_a proceed_n in_o our_o religion_n we_o must_v remember_v 3._o caveat_n one_o that_o we_o must_v endeavour_v to_o see_v and_o feel_v in_o ourselves_o the_o smalenes_n of_o our_o faith_n repentance_n fear_v of_o god_n etc._n etc._n and_o the_o great_a mass_n

he_o profit_v above_o many_o other_o hence_o we_o learn_v that_o in_o matter_n of_o religion_n there_o shall_v be_v a_o holy_a emulation_n and_o contention_n among_o we_o and_o our_o fault_n be_v that_o we_o contend_v who_o shall_v have_v the_o most_o riches_n and_o honour_n or_o go_v in_o the_o fine_a apparel_n and_o strive_v not_o to_o go_v one_o beyond_o another_o in_o good_a thing_n again_o paul_n modesty_n must_v here_o be_v observe_v he_o do_v not_o say_v that_o he_o profit_v more_o than_o all_o but_o more_o than_o many_o and_o he_o say_v not_o more_o than_o his_o superior_n

learn_v of_o we_o for_o it_o be_v the_o ornament_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o therefore_o must_v be_v join_v with_o our_o faith_n the_o matter_n or_o the_o thing_n in_o which_o paul_n profit_v be_v that_o he_o be_v abundant_o zealous_a for_o the_o tradition_n of_o the_o father_n here_o i_o consider_v three_o point_n i._o what_o zeal_n be_v answ._n it_o be_v a_o certain_a fervency_n of_o spirit_n arise_v of_o a_o mixture_n of_o love_n and_o anger_n cause_v man_n earnest_o to_o maintain_v the_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o all_o thing_n pertain_v thereto_o and_o move_v they_o to_o grief_n and_o anger_n when_o god_n be_v any_o way_n dishonour_v ii_o for_o what_o be_v paul_n zealous_a answer_n for_o the_o outward_a observation_n of_o the_o law_n and_o withal_o for_o pharisicall_a unwritten_a tradition_n which_o therefore_o he_o call_v the_o tradition_n of_o his_o father_n iii_o what_o be_v the_o fault_n of_o his_o zeal_n for_o he_o condemn_v it_o in_o himself_o answer_v he_o have_v the_o zeal_n of_o god_n but_o not_o according_a to_o knowledge_n for_o his_o zeal_n be_v against_o the_o word_n in_o that_o it_o tend_v to_o maintain_v unwritten_a tradition_n and_o justification_n by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n out_o of_o christ_n rom._n 10._o 2._o hence_o we_o learn_v sundry_a thing_n for_o that_o which_o paul_n do_v in_o his_o religion_n be_v we_o to_o do_v in_o the_o profession_n of_o the_o gospel_n first_o we_o be_v to_o addict_v and_o set_v ourselves_o earnest_o to_o maintain_v the_o truth_n and_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o gospel_n christ_n be_v even_o consume_v with_o the_o zeal_n of_o god_n house_n joh._n 2._o the_o angel_n of_o the_o church_n of_o laodicea_n be_v blame_v because_o he_o be_v neither_o hot_a nor_o cold_a rev._n 3._o he_o be_v accurse_v of_o god_n that_o do_v the_o work_n of_o god_n negligent_o jerem._n 48._o second_o we_o be_v to_o be_v angry_a in_o our_o self_n and_o grieve_a when_o god_n be_v dishonour_v and_o his_o word_n disobey_v when_o the_o israelite_n worship_v the_o golden_a calf_n moses_n in_o holy_a anger_n burst_v the_o table_n of_o stone_n david_n weep_v and_o paul_n be_v humble_v for_o the_o sin_n of_o other_o man_n psal._n 119._o 136._o 2._o cor._n 12._o 21._o three_o we_o be_v here_o teach_v not_o to_o give_v liberty_n to_o the_o best_a of_o our_o natural_a affection_n as_o to_o zeal_n but_o to_o mortify_v they_o and_o to_o rule_v they_o by_o the_o word_n numb_a 15._o 39_o otherwise_o they_o will_v cause_v we_o to_o run_v out_o of_o order_n like_o wild_a beast_n as_o here_o we_o see_v in_o paul_n last_o let_v it_o be_v observe_v that_o paul_n here_o condemn_v zeal_n for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o unwritten_a tradition_n and_o let_v the_o papist_n consider_v this_o 15._o but_o when_o it_o please_v god_n which_o have_v separate_v i_o from_o my_o mother_n womb_n and_o call_v i_o by_o his_o grace_n 16._o to_o reveal_v his_o son_n in_o i_o or_o to_o i_o that_o i_o shall_v preach_v he_o among_o the_o gentile_n immediate_o i_o communicate_v not_o with_o flesh_n and_o blood_n 17._o neither_o come_v i_o to_o jerusalem_n to_o they_o which_o be_v apostle_n before_o i_o but_o i_o go_v into_o arabia_n and_o turn_v again_o to_o damascus_n paul_n before_o prove_v that_o he_o learn_v not_o the_o gospel_n of_o any_o man_n before_o his_o conversion_n here_o he_o further_o prove_v that_o he_o learn_v it_o of_o no_o man_n after_o his_o conversion_n and_o the_o substance_n of_o his_o reason_n be_v this_o because_o immediate_o upon_o his_o conversion_n he_o confer_v with_o no_o man_n but_o go_v and_o preach_v in_o arabia_n and_o damascus_n in_o the_o word_n i_o consider_v four_o thing_n first_o the_o cause_n of_o paul_n conversion_n and_o here_o he_o set_v down_o three_o degree_n of_o cause_n depend_v one_o upon_o another_o the_o first_o be_v the_o good_a pleasure_n of_o god_n whereby_o he_o do_v whatsoever_o he_o will_v in_o heaven_n &_o earth_n in_o these_o word_n when_o it_o please_v the_o second_o be_v his_o separation_n from_o the_o womb_n which_o be_v a_o act_n of_o god_n counsel_n whereby_o he_o set_v man_n apart_o to_o be_v member_n of_o christ_n and_o to_o be_v his_o servant_n in_o this_o or_o that_o office_n this_o separation_n be_v say_v to_o be_v from_o the_o womb_n not_o because_o it_o begin_v then_o for_o it_o be_v appoint_v by_o god_n before_o all_o time_n even_o from_o eternity_n as_o all_o his_o counsel_n be_v but_o the_o h._n ghost_n hereby_o signify_v that_o all_o our_o goodness_n and_o all_o our_o dexterity_n to_o this_o or_o that_o office_n be_v mere_o from_o god_n because_o we_o be_v sanctify_v dedicate_v and_o set_v apart_o in_o the_o counsel_n of_o god_n from_o all_o eternity_n and_o therefore_o from_o the_o womb_n or_o from_o our_o first_o conception_n and_o beginning_n the_o three_o cause_n be_v vocation_n by_o grace_n the_o accomplishment_n of_o both_o the_o former_a in_o the_o time_n which_o god_n have_v appoint_v the_o second_o thing_n be_v the_o manner_n of_o form_n of_o paul_n vocation_n in_o these_o word_n to_o reveal_v his_o son_n to_o i_o the_o three_o be_v the_o end_n of_o his_o vocation_n to_o preach_v christ_n among_o the_o gentile_n the_o last_o be_v his_o obedience_n to_o the_o call_n of_o god_n in_o the_o 16._o and_o 17._o verse_n to_o begin_v with_o the_o efficient_a cause_n of_o paul_n conversion_n here_o we_o see_v the_o order_n and_o dependence_n of_o cause_n in_o the_o conversion_n and_o salvation_n of_o every_o sinner_n the_o beginning_n of_o our_o salvation_n be_v in_o the_o good_a pleasure_n of_o god_n then_o follow_v separation_n or_o election_n to_o eternal_a life_n then_o vocation_n by_o the_o word_n and_o spirit_n then_o obedience_n to_o the_o call_n of_o god_n &_o after_o obedience_n everlasting_a life_n this_o order_n paul_n here_o set_v down_o and_o the_o consideration_n of_o it_o be_v of_o great_a use_n hence_o it_o appear_v to_o be_v a_o doctrine_n erroneous_a which_o begin_v our_o salvation_n in_o the_o prevision_n of_o man_n faith_n and_o good_a work_n for_o in_o paul_n order_n work_v have_v the_o last_o place_n and_o it_o must_v be_v god_n pleasure_n that_o man_n shall_v do_v a_o good_a work_n before_o he_o can_v do_v it_o and_o if_o separation_n to_o eternal_a life_n shall_v be_v according_a to_o faith_n or_o work_n than_o we_o shall_v make_v separation_n of_o ourselves_o as_o well_o as_o god_n and_o vocation_n be_v not_o for_o work_n but_o that_o we_o may_v do_v good_a work_n eph._n 1._o 4._o second_o by_o this_o order_n it_o appear_v that_o the_o salvation_n of_o they_o that_o believe_v be_v more_o sure_a than_o the_o whole_a frame_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n because_o it_o be_v found_v in_o the_o vocation_n of_o god_n

that_o god_n will_v prosper_v and_o bless_v all_o school_n of_o learning_n where_o this_o kind_n of_o teach_v be_v in_o use_n here_o again_o it_o appear_v that_o christ_n be_v god_n and_o more_o than_o a_o mere_a man_n because_o he_o be_v oppose_v to_o man_n and_o that_o paul_n receive_v authority_n and_o the_o key_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n immediate_o of_o christ_n as_o well_o as_o peter_n 13._o for_o you_o have_v hear_v of_o my_o conversation_n in_o time_n past_a how_o that_o i_o persecute_v the_o church_n of_o god_n extreme_o and_o waste_v it_o 14._o and_o profit_v in_o the_o jewish_a religion_n above_o many_o of_o my_o companion_n of_o my_o own_o nation_n and_o be_v much_o more_o zealous_a of_o the_o tradition_n of_o my_o father_n in_o the_o former_a verse_n the_o apostle_n set_v down_o that_o he_o learn_v the_o gospel_n not_o of_o man_n but_o of_o jesus_n christ_n immediate_o this_o in_o the_o next_o place_n he_o go_v about_o to_o prove_v at_o large_a his_o

my_o conversion_n of_o any_o man_n the_o first_o part_n of_o his_o reason_n be_v here_o confirm_v thus_o before_o my_o call_n and_o conversion_n i_o profess_v judaism_n and_o i_o live_v according_o persecute_v the_o church_n and_o suppress_v the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n and_o profit_v in_o my_o religion_n above_o many_o other_o therefore_o i_o be_v not_o then_o fit_a to_o hear_v and_o learn_v the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n of_o any_o man_n this_o argument_n he_o further_o confirm_v by_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o galatian_n thus_o that_o this_o be_v my_o conversation_n in_o judaism_n you_o be_v witness_n for_o you_o have_v heretofore_o hear_v as_o much_o in_o the_o example_n of_o paul_n two_o point_n be_v general_o to_o be_v consider_v the_o first_o that_o the_o distinction_n of_o man_n and_o man_n arise_v not_o of_o the_o will_n or_o natural_a disposition_n of_o man_n but_o of_o the_o grace_n and_o mercy_n of_o god_n for_o paul_n a_o elect_a vessel_n for_o nature_n and_o disposition_n before_o his_o conversion_n be_v as_o wicked_a as_o any_o other_o and_o he_o say_v rom._n 9_o 11._o that_o the_o difference_n between_o man_n and_o man_n before_o god_n be_v not_o in_o he_o that_o will_v nor_o in_o he_o that_o run_v but_o in_o god_n that_o show_v mercy_n therefore_o it_o be_v a_o pelagian_n error_n to_o think_v that_o man_n do_v that_o which_o they_o can_v do_v by_o nature_n occasion_n god_n to_o give_v they_o supernatural_a grace_n the_o second_o point_n be_v that_o paul_n here_o make_v a_o open_a and_o ingenious_a confession_n of_o his_o wicked_a life_n past_a and_o hence_o i_o gather_v that_o this_o apostle_n and_o consequent_o the_o rest_n write_v the_o scripture_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n by_o the_o instinct_n of_o god_n spirit_n and_o not_o by_o humane_a policy_n which_o no_o doubt_n will_v have_v move_v they_o to_o have_v cover_v and_o conceal_v their_o own_o fault_n and_o not_o to_o have_v blaze_v their_o own_o shame_n to_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o the_o book_n of_o scripture_n be_v not_o book_n of_o policy_n as_o atheist_n suppose_v to_o keep_v man_n in_o awe_n but_o they_o be_v the_o very_a word_n of_o god_n again_o the_o end_n of_o this_o plain_a confession_n be_v that_o paul_n may_v thereby_o confirm_v and_o justify_v his_o own_o call_n to_o the_o office_n of_o a_o apostle_n this_o serve_v to_o give_v a_o check_n to_o such_o person_n as_o use_v to_o sit_v and_o rehearse_v their_o wicked_a life_n past_a in_o boast_v and_o rejoice_v manner_n in_o paul_n example_n there_o be_v two_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v his_o profession_n before_o his_o call_n and_o his_o conversation_n his_o profession_n be_v judaism_n and_o this_o hinder_v he_o from_o embrace_v the_o gospel_n it_o may_v here_o be_v demand_v what_o judaism_n or_o the_o jewish_a religion_n be_v answer_n in_o the_o day_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o apostle_n there_o be_v three_o special_a sect_n among_o the_o apostle_n esseis_n sadduceis_n and_o
