of_o speak_v yet_o do_v they_o import_v unto_o we_o no_o small_a help_n to_o the_o due_a frame_n of_o sermon_n to_o the_o people_n the_o first_o example_n very_o notable_a thou_o shall_v find_v in_o

thou_o look_v into_o the_o sense_n thou_o shall_v perceive_v in_o they_o to_o be_v most_o strong_o prove_v that_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n and_o that_o great_a plenty_n of_o argument_n be_v engender_v therein_o the_o state_n of_o the_o whole_a disputation_n state._n the_o aposte_n have_v prefix_v before_o in_o the_o 3._o chapter_n say_v we_o suppose_v that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n without_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n to_o the_o confirmation_n therefore_o of_o this_o state_n argument_n he_o judge_v the_o noble_a example_n of_o the_o justification_n of_o abraham_n to_o be_v most_o fit_a and_o convenient_a to_o the_o intent_n he_o may_v gather_v by_o order_n of_o reason_v that_o all_o other_o man_n also_o be_v in_o like_a manner_n justify_v by_o faith_n which_o his_o purpose_n he_o himself_o do_v not_o obscur_o declare_v when_o a_o little_a after_o he_o say_v that_o it_o be_v not_o so_o write_v for_o he_o only_o that_o it_o be_v impute_v unto_o he_o for_o righteousness_n but_o also_o for_o we_o to_o who_o it_o shall_v be_v impute_v if_o we_o believe_v in_o he_o that_o raise_v up_o our_o lord_n jesus_n from_o the_o dead_a etc_n etc_n howbeit_o not_o

part_n draw_v forth_o new_a argument_n wherefore_o forasmuch_o as_o in_o that_o sentence_n wherein_o it_o be_v say_v that_o abraham_n believe_v and_o in_o believe_v be_v justify_v by_o and_o by_o out_o of_o the_o word_n believe_v be_v this_o argument_n subtle_o contrive_v if_o abraham_n be_v justify_v for_o that_o he_o believe_v it_o follow_v of_o necessity_n the_o he_o be_v not_o justify_v by_o work_n 2._o in_o asmuch_o as_o faith_n and_o work_n be_v after_o a_o sort_n repugaunte_v the_o one_o to_o the_o outstretch_o now_o the_o apostle_n render_v this_o argument_n thus_o if_o abraham_n be_v justify_v by_o work_n he_o have_v wherein_o to_o glory_v but_o not_o with_o god_n for_o what_o say_v the_o scripture_n abraham_n believe_v god_n and_o it_o be_v conute_v unto_o he_o for_o righteousness_n from_o hence_o the_o apostle_n bend_v the_o earnest_a contemplation_n of_o his_o mind_n to_o the_o signification_n of_o the_o word_n ii_o impute_v out_o of_o which_o he_o produce_v the_o second_o proof_n to_o this_o effect_n to_o he_o also_o that_o work_v not_o but_o believe_v in_o god_n that_o justify_v his_o faith_n be_v by_o grace_n count_v for_o righteousness_n but_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v say_v to_o be_v count_v by_o grace_n for_o righteousness_n if_o he_o have_v deserve_v it_o by_o work_n for_o than_o it_o shall_v rather_o be_v call_v wage_n or_o debt_n justification_n therefore_o come_v not_o by_o work_n but_o free_o &_o by_o grace_n like_o as_o in_o the_o former_a argument_n consideration_n be_v have_v of_o the_o antitheton_n to_o work_v and_o believe_v so_o here_o wage_n or_o debt_n be_v set_v against_o imputation_n three_o the_o apostle_n exact_o note_v the_o form_n of_o speak_v iii_o to_o count_v or_o impute_v for_o righteousness_n for_o it_o come_v to_o his_o remembrance_n how_o in_o the_o psal._n 31._o that_o man_n be_v call_v bless_a holy_a and_o righteous_a to_o who_o the_o lord_n impu_v not_o sin_n wherefore_o he_o determine_v that_o to_o impute_v unto_o righteousness_n be_v even_o all_o one_o with_o not_o to_o impute_v sin_n for_o to_o remit_v or_o not_o to_o impute_v sin_n be_v as_o much_o as_o free_o to_o pardon_v they_o or_o to_o judge_v one_o eightuous_a without_o desert_n justification_n therefore_o come_v by_o grace_n and_o not_o by_o work_n and_o this_o be_v it_o that_o the_o apostle_n so_o studious_o say_v that_o god_n impute_v unto_o man_n righteousness_n without_o work_n wherefore_o out_o of_o every_o word_n we_o see_v notable_a reason_n to_o be_v draw_v howbeit_o the_o apostle_n proceed_v yet_o further_o and_o as_o we_o admonish_v in_o the_o 2._o observation_n he_o diligent_o enquire_v what_o time_n faith_n be_v impute_v unto_o abraham_n for_o righteousness_n now_o he_o find_v that_o thing_n to_o be_v do_v about_o fourteen_o year_n before_o circumcision_n four_o of_o this_o circumstance_n therefore_o of_o time_n he_o gather_v in_o the_o four_o place_n well_o near_o after_o this_o manner_n if_o abraham_n have_v be_v justify_v by_o work_n then_o chief_o by_o circumcision_n but_o by_o this_o he_o be_v not_o justify_v forasmuch_o as_o righteousness_n be_v impute_v unto_o he_o long_o time_n before_o he_o be_v circumcise_v therefore_o in_o no_o wise_a come_v righteousness_n by_o work_n the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n as_o they_o stand_v in_o the_o text_n be_v plain_a furthermore_o apostle_n interlace_v forth_o with_o the_o five_o argument_n v._o take_v of_o the_o use_n and_o signification_n of_o circumcision_n abraham_n receive_v the_o sign_n of_o circumcision_n as_o a_o seal_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o say_v which_o he_o have_v when_o he_o be_v unsircumcise_v which_o we_o may_v take_v even_o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v circumcision_n be_v not_o therefore_o receive_v to_o the_o intent_n any_o man_n shall_v be_v justify_v thereby_o but_o that_o it_o may_v be_v a_o seal_n of_o the_o assurance_n of_o righteousness_n now_o before_o receive_v by_o faith_n for_o a_o man_n must_v always_o first_o believe_v and_o confess_v his_o faith_n or_o ever_o he_o can_v right_o use_v any_o sacrament_n institute_v of_o god_n and_o unless_o a_o man_n already_o endue_v with_o faith_n do_v receive_v the_o sacrament_n there_o be_v no_o cause_n why_o he_o shall_v hope_v that_o they_o will_v become_v wholesome_a unto_o he_o there_o be_v no_o man_n that_o know_v not_o the_o sacrament_n to_o be_v sign_n of_o the_o covenant_n make_v before_o with_o god_n and_o that_o they_o be_v add_v as_o seal_n of_o our_o reconciliation_n with_o god_n like_v as_o after_o the_o bargainer_n be_v agree_v betwixt_o themselves_o write_n and_o seal_n be_v accustom_v to_o be_v make_v the_o six_o argument_n follow_v of_o that_o the_o we_o show_v to_o be_v digest_v in_o the_o four_o place_n vi_o see_v now_o it_o appear_v that_o faith_n be_v impute_v unto_o abraham_n for_o righteousness_n before_o he_o be_v circumcise_v &_o while_o he_o be_v yet_o uncircumcised_a it_o be_v a_o plain_a case_n that_o the_o gentile_n also_o which_o be_v not_o as_o yet_o circumcise_v neither_o dare_z challenge_v to_o themselves_o any_o good_a work_n may_v be_v justify_v by_o faith_n and_o general_o that_o unto_o all_o man_n whether_o they_o be_v circumcise_v or_o uncircumcised_a righteousness_n shall_v be_v impute_v so_o that_o by_o the_o example_n of_o abraham_n which_o be_v indifferent_o the_o common_a parent_n and_o prince_n of_o all_o believer_n as_o well_o of_o the_o circumcise_a as_o have_v uncircumcision_n they_o repose_v their_o faith_n and_o confidence_n in_o god._n he_o receive_v say_v he_o he_o scale_v of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o faith_n which_o he_o have_v when_o he_o be_v uncircumcised_a that_o he_o shall_v be_v the_o father_n of_o all_o they_o that_o believe_v not_o be_v circumcise_v that_o righteousness_n may_v be_v impute_v to_o they_o also_o and_o the_o father_n of_o circumcision_n not_o unto_o they_o only_o which_o be_v of_o the_o circumcision_n but_o unto_o they_o also_o that_o walk_n in_o the_o step_n of_o the_o faith_n of_o our_o father_n abraham_n which_o he_o have_v when_o he_o be_v uncircumcised_a moreover_o in_o the_o seven_o argument_n he_o declare_v that_o righteousness_n before_o god_n happen_v by_o faith_n forasmuch_o as_o it_o can_v not_o be_v that_o righteousness_n shall_v be_v

it_o be_v also_o convenient_a to_o the_o intent_n all_o man_n may_v clear_o understand_v that_o isaiah_n prophesy_v simple_o &_o without_o any_o ambiguity_n of_o christ_n himself_o and_o of_o that_o

he_o and_o marvel_v at_o the_o grace_n of_o his_o word_n 2._o which_o proceed_v out_o of_o his_o mouth_n moreover_o when_o the_o ungodly_a scoffer_n and_o derider_n hear_v the_o apostle_n speak_v with_o diverse_a tongue_n they_o be_v not_o ashamed_a to_o say_v that_o apostle_n be_v dronk_a and_o overload_v with_o wine_n but_o peter_n remove_v the_o vice_n of_o drunkenness_n both_o from_o
