together_o he_o conclude_v universal_o of_o all_o work_n far_o it_o be_v to_o be_v note_v that_o in_o the_o time_n of_o abraham_n and_o of_o the_o old_a law_n for_o as_o much_o as_o these_o ceremony_n be_v found_v upon_o the_o word_n of_o god_n man_n be_v bind_v no_o less_o to_o obey_v they_o than_o the_o other_o commandment_n and_o yet_o the_o apostle_n affirm_v that_o by_o that_o obedience_n

who_o be_v god_n over_o all_o bless_v for_o ever_o amen_n the_o beginning_n of_o this_o chapter_n be_v after_o diverse_a manner_n annex_v to_o those_o thing_n which_o have_v be_v before_o speak_v for_o chrisostome_n as_o we_o have_v declare_v think_v that_o paul_n meaning_n be_v earnest_o to_o show_v how_o firm_o he_o be_v knit_v unto_o the_o love_n of_o god_n namely_o that_o for_o god_n

say_v that_o those_o who_o god_n have_v choose_v can_v by_o no_o violence_n be_v separate_v from_o his_o love_n wherefore_o it_o may_v seem_v wonderful_a how_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o hebrews_n can_v be_v reject_v from_o god_n which_o only_a nation_n god_n before_o all_o other_o nation_n have_v choose_v wherefore_o say_v they_o the_o apostle_n straight_o way_n add_v that_o not_o all_o the_o jew_n do_v pertain_v unto_o the_o election_n of_o god_n and_o that_o their_o fall_n be_v not_o against_o the_o decree_n of_o god_n but_o in_o my_o judgement_n the_o apostle_n seem_v in_o a_o manner_n to_o begin_v a_o new_a matter_n to_o entreat_v of_o for_o hitherto_o he_o have_v prove_v that_o justification_n come_v not_o of_o human_a wisdom_n nor_o philosophy_n nor_o also_o of_o our_o work_n nor_o by_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o law_n but_o only_o by_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n but_o there_o remain_v two_o other_o thing_n of_o great_a weyght_n which_o it_o behove_v he_o to_o

have_v spend_v his_o labour_n in_o vain_a the_o one_o of_o they_o be_v that_o the_o promise_n of_o salvation_n be_v make_v unto_o the_o posterity_n of_o abraham_n and_o unto_o the_o seed_n of_o israel_n but_o now_o for_o as_o much_o as_o that_o kind_n of_o man_n receive_v not_o the_o faith_n in_o christ_n of_o necessity_n it_o follow_v either_o that_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n be_v vain_a or_o if_o the_o jew_n be_v save_v then_o may_v justification_n be_v without_o faith_n in_o christ_n the_o second_o be_v there_o be_v never_o at_o any_o time_n in_o any_o nation_n so_o great_a righteousness_n so_o great_a a_o endeavour_n of_o piety_n so_o diligent_a a_o observation_n of_o the_o law_n as_o be_v amongst_o the_o jew_n and_o it_o be_v absurd_a if_o we_o shall_v say_v that_o god_n will_v not_o embrace_v such_o kind_n of_o righteousness_n which_o excel_v the_o uprightnes_n of_o all_o nation_n these_o be_v two_o such_o thing_n that_o of_o they_o no_o man_n can_v doubt_v name_o that_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n be_v firm_a and_o that_o a_o upright_a justice_n be_v acceptable_a unto_o god_n unto_o these_o thing_n paul_n answer_v in_o these_o three_o chapiter_n follow_v first_o he_o say_v that_o the_o promise_n be_v make_v unto_o the_o elect_a of_o god_n and_o he_o add_v that_o the_o external_a people_n of_o israel_n be_v not_o in_o very_a deed_n that_o people_n unto_o who_o be_v israel_n a_o distinction_n of_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n make_v the_o promise_n as_o pertain_v to_o the_o whole_a number_n which_o thing_n he_o prove_v by_o testimony_n of_o the_o scripture_n wherefore_o though_o the_o jew_n be_v blind_v say_v he_o it_o follow_v not_o thereof_o that_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n be_v vain_a afterward_o he_o make_v a_o distinction_n of_o

chapter_n but_o in_o the_o xi_o lest_o the_o jew_n shall_v think_v themselves_o utterlye_o reject_v paul_n add_v that_o of_o that_o people_n there_o remain_v some_o remnaunt_n which_o in_o success_n of_o time_n shall_v be_v bring_v unto_o christ_n but_o as_o touch_v the_o ix_o chapter_n the_o apostle_n keep_v this_o order_n first_o forasmuch_o as_o it_o shall_v be_v very_o bitter_a unto_o the_o chapter_n the_o method_n of_o the_o 9_o chapter_n jew_n to_o hear_v that_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n shall_v not_o pertain_v to_o their_o stock_n and_o that_o they_o themselves_o shall_v not_o be_v count_v of_o the_o number_n of_o the_o elect_a paul_n show_v that_o he_o can_v not_o consider_v these_o thing_n with_o himself_o but_o with_o great_a grief_n and_o that_o he_o be_v ready_a to_o

hatred_n towards_o they_o then_o draw_v he_o never_o to_o the_o very_a matter_n and_o confess_v that_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n be_v firm_a but_o they_o pertain_v not_o to_o the_o carnal_a propagation_n which_o thing_n he_o prove_v by_o a_o most_o manifest_a example_n of_o
as_o god_n have_v command_v in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o law_n this_o exposition_n in_o deed_n seem_v to_o be_v somewhat_o more_o witty_a and_o more_o likely_a howbeit_o by_o the_o word_n of_o the_o holy_a history_n it_o be_v confute_v for_o when_o moses_n fervent_o pray_v the_o lord_n answer_v let_v i_o alone_o i_o will_v kill_v all_o this_o people_n at_o once_o for_o their_o contumacy_n towards_o i_o and_o will_v make_v thou_o a_o prince_n of_o a_o other_o people_n both_o much_o great_a and_o also_o more_o noble_a wherefore_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n why_o moses_n shall_v desire_v to_o be_v put_v out_o of_o authority_n that_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v the_o head_n of_o that_o people_n when_o as_o god_n of_o his_o own_o accord_n and_o willing_o offer_v that_o thing_n unto_o he_o wherefore_o we_o must_v needs_o confess_v that_o moses_n desire_v none_o other_o thing_n then_o that_o which_o paul_n now_o wish_v for_o chrisostome_n be_v so_o much_o against_o this_o opinion_n which_o jerome_n defend_v to_o algasia_n that_o he_o say_v that_o such_o as_o so_o think_v be_v so_o far_o from_o the_o truth_n as_o a_o blindman_n be_v from_o the_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o of_o this_o his_o confutation_n this_o reason_n he_o bring_v paul_n say_v he_o have_v before_o speak_v many_o thing_n of_o that_o straight_a conjunction_n which_o he_o have_v with_o god_n when_o he_o say_v that_o neither_o tribulation_n nor_o anguish_n nor_o persecution_n nor_o hunger_n nor_o nakedness_n nor_o danger_n nor_o sword_n be_v able_a to_o separate_v he_o from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n after_o that_o as_o though_o he_o have_v not_o yet_o satisfy_v himself_o he_o add_v neither_o death_n nor_o life_n nor_o angel_n nor_o principality_n nor_o power_n nor_o thing_n present_a nor_o

thing_n can_v he_o bring_v which_o can_v excel_v these_o thing_n can_v this_o that_o he_o will_v glad_o suffer_v death_n to_o bring_v his_o brethren_n unto_o christ_n but_o this_o say_v he_o be_v a_o very_a small_a matter_n if_o it_o be_v compare_v with_o those_o thing_n before_o speak_v for_o before_o he_o have_v twice_o mention_v death_n but_o he_o which_o refuse_v to_o geve_v his_o life_n for_o the_o truth_n and_o for_o the_o health_n of_o his_o neighbour_n seperate_v himself_o from_o god_n by_o fear_n of_o death_n and_o therefore_o he_o shall_v have_v add_v no_o new_a thing_n to_o that_o which_o he_o before_o have_v speak_v wherefore_o we_o ought_v to_o think_v that_o paul_n have_v a_o regard_n to_o far_o great_a thing_n than_o these_o man_n suppose_v he_o have_v there_o be_v a_o

if_o other_o be_v admit_v to_o enjoy_v the_o same_o this_o be_v the_o proper_a signification_n of_o the_o word_n wherefore_o zeal_n definition_n of_o zeal_n we_o may_v thus_o define_v it_o zeal_n be_v

of_o the_o celestial_a motion_n to_o confirm_v and_o amplify_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o their_o word_n into_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n the_o latter_a part_n of_o this_o sentence_n

which_o preach_v the_o gospel_n wherefore_o the_o jew_n can_v not_o cavel_v that_o they_o have_v not_o hear_v the_o gospel_n further_o he_o again_o prove_v the_o same_o by_o moses_n and_o esay_n the_o

some_o be_v devise_v by_o man_n and_o those_o have_v in_o they_o no_o weight_n at_o all_o but_o those_o which_o have_v be_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n reveal_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v most_o

to_o prove_v any_o thing_n but_o rather_o allude_v to_o his_o word_n in_o reply_v against_o the_o jew_n which_o make_v their_o excuse_n that_o they_o have_v not_o hear_v they_o that_o preach_v the_o gospel_n when_o as_o the_o sound_n of_o they_o go_v out_o throughout_o all_o the_o earth_n not_o as_o though_o david_n speak_v of_o they_o but_o because_o his_o word_n be_v agreeable_a with_o the_o

here_o omit_v and_o if_o we_o will_v not_o that_o it_o be_v a_o allusion_n let_v it_o be_v a_o metaphor_n which_o draw_v the_o word_n to_o a_o like_a signification_n without_o add_v the_o note_n of_o

christ_n say_v you_o be_v the_o salt_n of_o the_o earth_n that_o be_v as_o the_o salt_n of_o the_o earth_n &_o the_o light_n of_o the_o world_n and_o of_o john_n we_o read_v he_o be_v helias_n that_o
