when_o they_o be_v separate_v from_o christ_n or_o else_o for_o dead_a and_o frail_a doctrine_n for_o it_o be_v a_o foul_a thing_n that_o they_o which_o have_v begin_v well_o shall_v not_o go_v

thing_n for_o the_o defence_n of_o a_o ill_a cause_n but_o they_o have_v try_v that_o god_n be_v present_a with_o they_o in_o persecution_n he_o do_v therefore_o burden_n the_o false_a apostle_n with_o envy_n who_o spoil_v the_o galathian_o of_o such_o precious_a ornament_n but_o to_o mitigate_v bitterness_n he_o add_v if_o yet_o in_o vain_a to_o correct_v it_o whereby_o he_o raise_v up_o

the_o spirit_n for_o the_o order_n itself_o do_v show_v that_o it_o be_v a_o contrary_a reason_n from_o the_o former_a because_o he_o have_v but_o another_o reason_n or_o argument_n between_o they_o he_o warn_v they_o than_o that_o all_o the_o gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n wherewith_o they_o excel_v be_v fruit_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o same_o that_o be_v preach_v among_o they_o with_o his_o mouth_n therefore_o they_o do_v spoil_v themselves_o of_o those_o gift_n when_o as_o they_o leave_v the_o gospel_n and_o do_v fly_v to_o another_o kind_n of_o doctrine_n again_o look_v how_o much_o they_o esteem_v those_o gift_n so_o much_o also_o ought_v they_o to_o regard_n with_o tooth_n and_o nail_n to_o retain_v the_o gospel_n to_o those_o kind_n of_o gift_n he_o join_v virtue_n that_o be_v to_o say_v miracle_n 6_o even_o as_o abraham_n believe_v god_n and_o it_o be_v impute_v to_o he_o for_o righteousness_n 7_o know_v you_o therefore_o that_o they_o which_o be_v of_o faith_n those_o be_v the_o son_n of_o abraham_n 8_o for_o the_o scripture_n because_o it_o do_v foresee_v that_o god_n will_v justify_v the_o gentile_n by_o faith_n do_v afore_o show_v glad_a tiding_n to_o

at_o all_o time_n argument_n take_v from_o example_n be_v not_o so_o firm_a nevertheless_o this_o be_v most_o forcible_a be_v cause_n neither_o in_o the_o thing_n nor_o yet_o in_o the_o person_n be_v there_o any_o difference_n for_o there_o be_v not_o many_o way_n unto_o righteousness_n and_o therefore_o be_v abraham_n call_v the_o father_n of_o all_o the_o faithful_a because_o he_o be_v a_o common_a example_n unto_o they_o all_o nay_o rather_o in_o his_o person_n there_o be_v a_o general_a rule_n how_o to_o obtain_v righteousness_n prescribe_v or_o set_v out_o unto_o us._n 6_o even_o as_o here_o must_v be_v understand_v these_o word_n but_o rather_o for_o when_o he_o have_v ask_v

28_o there_o be_v no_o jew._n the_o sense_n be_v that_o in_o this_o case_n person_n be_v of_o no_o force_n and_o therefore_o that_o it_o skill_v not_o of_o what_o nation_n or_o state_n they_o be_v

tend_v this_o speech_n that_o neither_o the_o grace_n of_o adoption_n nor_o the_o hope_n of_o salvation_n do_v depend_v of_o the_o law_n but_o that_o they_o be_v contain_v in_o christ_n alone_o only_o christ_n than_o be_v all_o thing_n to_o put_v greek_n for_o gentile_n and_o the_o speciality_n for_o the_o generaltie_n be_v much_o use_v 29_o then_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n he_o do_v not_o therefore_o add_v this_o because_o it_o be_v great_a to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o abraham_n then_o to_o be_v the_o member_n of_o christ_n but_o that_o he_o may_v beat_v down_o the_o pride_n of_o the_o

therefore_o this_o same_o very_a excellency_n he_o make_v common_a to_o all_o they_o which_o believe_v in_o christ_n the_o consequent_a lean_v upon_o this_o reason_n that_o christ_n be_v that_o bless_a seed_n in_o who_o all_o the_o child_n of_o abraham_n be_v unite_v as_o it_o be_v say_v and_o this_o he_o prepare_v because_o the_o inheritance_n be_v offer_v common_o unto_o al._n whereof_o
