not_o a_o little_a serve_v that_o which_o paul_n write_v in_o the_o second_o epistle_n to_o the_o corinthian_n the._n 1._o chapter_n all_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n be_v through_o he_o yea_o and_o through_o he_o amen_n and_o let_v the_o gentile_n praise_v god_n for_o his_o mercy_n unto_o the_o gentile_n he_o attribute_v together_o mercy_n and_o truth_n be_v join_v together_o mercy_n and_o to_o the_o jew_n truth_n not_o that_o these_o two_o can_v be_v separate_v the_o one_o from_o the_o other_o for_o there_o be_v no_o work_n of_o god_n which_o have_v either_o mercy_n without_o truth_n or_o truth_n without_o mercy_n but_o paul_n mean_v to_o distinguish_v these_o thing_n even_o as_o they_o be_v in_o more_o force_n and_o as_o they_o be_v more_o declare_v in_o the_o salvation_n either_o of_o the_o jew_n or_o of_o the_o gentile_n christ_n as_o touch_v that_o conversation_n which_o he_o have_v place_n the_o promise_n of_o god_n lean_v only_o to_o mercy_n in_o the_o graft_n in_o of_o the_o gentle_n truth_o have_v place_n upon_o the_o earth_n be_v give_v to_o the_o jew_n that_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o promise_n shall_v not_o be_v make_v frustrate_a but_o if_o thou_o will_v descend_v to_o the_o very_a root_n and_o foundation_n even_o those_o promise_n lean_a only_o to_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n for_o what_o thing_n else_o but_o even_o his_o mere_a goodness_n and_o mercy_n can_v have_v move_v he_o to_o promise_v unto_o the_o father_n that_o christ_n shall_v come_v of_o their_o stock_n and_o although_o the_o gentile_n be_v say_v to_o be_v graft_v in_o by_o mercy_n yet_o here_o also_o truth_n have_v place_n for_o god_n know_v even_o from_o eternal_o that_o the_o gentile_n shall_v be_v call_v to_o salvation_n wherefore_o it_o be_v true_a for_o thing_n false_a can_v not_o be_v know_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o that_o truth_n shall_v attain_v to_o his_o effect_n moreover_o the_o scripture_n keep_v not_o in_o silence_n that_o the_o gentile_n shall_v at_o the_o length_n be_v call_v as_o those_o prophecy_n testify_v which_o be_v a_o little_a afterward_o allege_v but_o the_o prophecy_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n aught_o without_o all_o manner_n of_o doubt_n to_o be_v true_a wherefore_o the_o graft_n in_o of_o the_o gentile_n pertain_v to_o truth_n but_o this_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v overhip_v that_o paul_n when_o he_o entreat_v of_o the_o jew_n speak_v not_o only_o of_o the_o truth_n but_o also_o straight_a way_n after_o it_o make_v mention_v man_n whether_o the_o call_n in_o of_o the_o gentile_n be_v peculiar_o promise_v to_o any_o man_n of_o the_o promise_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v that_o christ_n be_v give_v unto_o the_o jew_n a_o minister_n of_o salvation_n to_o confirm_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o promise_n but_o the_o call_n of_o the_o gentile_n be_v in_o deed_n foretell_v but_o as_o it_o shall_v seem_v it_o be_v promise_v to_o none_o unless_o peradventure_o any_o man_n will_v contend_v that_o unto_o abraham_n be_v promise_v the_o gentile_n when_o it_o be_v say_v unto_o he_o in_o thy_o seed_n shall_v all_o nation_n be_v bless_v but_o as_o we_o have_v already_o say_v this_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v speak_v rather_o in_o the_o way_n of_o foretell_v then_o in_o the_o way_n of_o promise_n and_o if_o a_o man_n think_v this_o reason_n somewhat_o weak_a he_o may_v follow_v that_o which_o we_o before_o say_v that_o the_o apostle_n have_v a_o regard_n to_o that_o which_o be_v most_o frequent_a in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n for_o in_o they_o be_v every_o where_o promise_v that_o the_o messiah_n shall_v come_v of_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o jew_n but_o not_o in_o so_o many_o place_n nor_o so_o often_o be_v mention_v make_v in_o they_o of_o the_o calling_n of_o the_o gentile_n and_o to_o speak_v brief_o these_o distribution_n of_o paul_n be_v not_o so_o to_o be_v understand_v as_o though_o one_o part_n can_v by_o no_o mean_n be_v join_v with_o a_o other_o and_o this_o may_v plain_o be_v prove_v by_o these_o two_o place_n with_o the_o heart_n we_o believe_v to_o righteousness_n and_o with_o the_o mouth_n be_v confession_n make_v to_o salvation_n again_o
