which_o be_v bear_v under_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n shall_v have_v the_o promise_n of_o god_n pertain_v only_o unto_o they_o as_o their_o inheritance_n than_o it_o shall_v seem_v that_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n be_v vain_a &_o of_o none_o effect_n forasmuchas_o it_o be_v evident_o know_v that_o the_o benefit_n of_o god_n come_v to_o no_o man_n for_o the_o law_n sake_n yea_o so_o far_o the_o law_n be_v from_o justification_n and_o the_o give_v of_o this_o so_o high_a a_o benefit_n that_o it_o rather_o threaten_v we_o with_o the_o ire_n and_o indignation_n of_o god_n whereas_o contrariwise_o faith_n make_v the_o ungodly_a righteous_a neither_o can_v there_o be_v any_o inheritance_n of_o peace_n and_o rest_n for_o the_o child_n to_o have_v work_v where_o as_o nothing_o else_o be_v minister_v but_o sin_n and_o indignation_n and_o if_o you_o demand_v of_o i_o how_o it_o chance_v that_o the_o law_n rather_o minister_v ire_n than_o righteousness_n i_o will_v declare_v thus_o unto_o you_o you_o can_v make_v no_o man_n guilty_n of_o any_o crime_n unless_o in_o lay_v the_o law_n against_o he_o you_o open_v his_o fault_n unto_o he_o the_o knowledge_n of_o which_o fault_n the_o law_n minister_v and_o declare_v also_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n prescribe_v many_o thing_n of_o circumcision_n of_o the_o saboth_n day_n of_o the_o feast_n of_o the_o new_a moon_n of_o the_o difference_n of_o meat_n of_o mortuary_n of_o the_o strangle_v of_o blood_n of_o wash_v all_o which_o be_v of_o that_o condition_n that_o though_o they_o be_v observe_v yet_o they_o do_v not_o make_v a_o man_n righteous_a but_o he_o that_o transgress_v they_o be_v guilty_n and_o subject_n to_o punishment_n by_o mean_n of_o the_o law_n but_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n see_v it_o charge_v no_o body_n but_o only_o the_o jew_n and_o again_o see_v the_o inheritance_n of_o all_o nation_n be_v give_v of_o god_n unto_o abraham_n to_o be_v their_o father_n it_o be_v impossible_a that_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n shall_v appertain_v unto_o all_o nation_n through_o the_o benefit_n of_o the_o law_n which_o be_v only_o give_v to_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o jew_n it_o conclude_v therefore_o that_o the_o inheritance_n come_v by_o faith_n that_o our_o justification_n may_v be_v see_v to_o proceed_v of_o the_o only_a grace_n and_o favour_n of_o god_n and_o not_o of_o any_o covenant_n or_o observation_n of_o the_o law_n and_o thus_o it_o be_v know_v how_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n promise_n descend_v to_o abraham_n posterity_n and_o i_o do_v not_o mean_a all_o they_o only_o to_o be_v of_o abraham_n posterity_n which_o be_v either_o of_o his_o kindred_n or_o else_o join_v with_o he_o in_o the_o law_n but_o much_o rather_o all_o such_o as_o express_v abraham_n faith_n for_o it_o be_v much_o more_o expedient_a that_o the_o alliance_n and_o similitude_n of_o faith_n shall_v be_v of_o more_o efficacy_n by_o which_o he_o deserve_v to_o receive_v the_o promise_n of_o god_n than_o the_o alliance_n and_o conjunction_n of_o the_o law_n which_o engender_v offence_n and_o make_v man_n guilty_n of_o they_o therefore_o the_o jew_n be_v deceive_v to_o boast_v so_o much_o of_o abraham_n deceive_v as_o of_o their_o only_a and_o proper_a father_n see_v he_o be_v the_o father_n of_o all_o such_o nation_n and_o of_o all_o man_n of_o what_o country_n so_o ever_o they_o be_v that_o believe_v in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n chryst_n 51._o which_o thing_n appear_v by_o god_n himself_o in_o the_o xvij_o chapter_n of_o genesis_n when_o god_n change_v abraham_n name_n and_o say_v 17._o i_o have_v appoint_v thou_o to_o be_v the_o father_n of_o many_o nation_n sure_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v true_a that_o god_n he_o self_n say_v but_o how_o i_o pray_v you_o shall_v he_o be_v the_o father_n of_o many_o nation_n if_o he_o only_o belong_v unto_o the_o jew_n wherefore_o 17._o as_o the_o lord_n be_v universal_a to_o all_o man_n that_o believe_v in_o he_o so_o he_o will_v that_o abraham_n which_o be_v a_o figure_n of_o god_n and_o as_o isaac_n be_v also_o of_o christ_n shall_v be_v the_o universal_a father_n of_o all_o man_n that_o do_v represent_v he_o in_o the_o affinity_n of_o his_o faith_n god._n and_o abraham_n can_v not_o be_v deceive_v of_o his_o belief_n which_o trust_v to_o the_o promise_n of_o he_o that_o do_v not_o only_o give_v fertility_n to_o the_o barren_a but_o also_o life_n to_o the_o dead_a which_o be_v command_v to_o kill_v his_o only_a sweet_a &_o dear_a son_n isaac_n in_o who_o be_v all_o his_o joy_n and_o comfort_n do_v without_o any_o tarry_n or_o once_o question_v at_o all_o believe_v the_o word_n of_o the_o promiser_n and_o know_v that_o he_o can_v revive_v he_o again_o and_o make_v they_o that_o be_v not_o to_o be_v again_o at_o his_o will_n and_o pleasure_n the_o jew_n do_v glory_n in_o themselves_o and_o account_v themselves_o worthy_a man_n and_o abhor_v the_o gentile_n as_o nothing_o worth_a at_o all_o but_o yet_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n stand_v in_o better_a stead_n to_o the_o gentile_n than_o abraham_n kindred_n do_v to_o the_o jew_n true_o the_o faith_n of_o abraham_n be_v notable_a and_o therefore_o god_n favour_v he_o which_o doubt_v not_o in_o he_o neither_o mistrust_v his_o truth_n in_o such_o thing_n as_o by_o nature_n be_v to_o be_v dispair_v of_o a_o in_o which_o be_v do_v not_o

shall_v we_o also_o obtain_v of_o god_n to_o be_v call_v righteous_a for_o our_o only_a faith_n with_o out_o keep_v of_o the_o law_n we_o see_v here_o that_o abraham_n be_v call_v righteous_a only_o because_o he_o believe_v god_n wherefore_o we_o see_v none_o other_o way_n to_o come_v to_o justification_n &_o to_o be_v save_v 1_n but_o to_o believe_v in_o the_o same_o god_n through_o
and_o be_v at_o peace_n with_o all_o creature_n superstition_n of_o itself_o be_v contentious_a and_o full_a of_o debate_n but_o the_o true_a worship_v of_o god_n be_v full_a of_o tranquillity_n peace_n and_o quietness_n neither_o can_v it_o be_v any_o marvel_n at_o all_o to_o see_v so_o much_o contention_n amongst_o man_n for_o keep_v of_o such_o superstition_n of_o the_o law_n consider_v the_o same_o be_v never_o at_o one_o with_o god_n himself_o for_o it_o be_v none_o other_o thing_n but_o to_o adhere_v and_o stick_v fast_a to_o the_o carnal_a and_o gross_a law_n which_o god_n
