wicked_o i_o will_v not_o perform_v these_o thing_n which_o i_o have_v speak_v but_o we_o answer_v that_o the_o promise_n whereof_o paul_n here_o conditional_o paul_n speak_v not_o of_o such_o a_o

the_o law_n unto_o which_o pertain_v these_o threaten_n which_o be_v now_o allege_v yea_o the_o apostle_n himself_o sufficient_o express_v of_o what_o kind_n of_o promise_n he_o speak_v when_o he_o

not_o to_o confound_v we_o may_v manifest_o infer_v that_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o doubt_v of_o our_o salvation_n there_o be_v which_o pretend_v that_o their_o doubt_n hereof_o spring_v for_o that_o they_o be_v uncertain_a whether_o they_o shall_v persevere_v unto_o the_o end_n or_o no._n but_o these_o man_n shall_v consider_v that_o we_o ought_v always_o to_o pray_v for_o perseverance_n for_o

without_o doubt_v wherefore_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o we_o must_v by_o no_o mean_n doubt_v of_o preseverance_n and_o especial_o see_v we_o have_v in_o our_o heart_n the_o holy_a ghost_n always_o

nor_o power_n can_v pluck_v he_o from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n namely_o from_o that_o love_n wherewith_o god_n love_v he_o but_o that_o be_v frivoulous_a which_o some_o allege_v namely_o that_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

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 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

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

think_v so_o for_o that_o paul_n when_o in_o reasoninge_v he_o cit_v the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v wont_a to_o add_v as_o it_o be_v write_v or_o esay_n or_o the_o scripture_n so_o say_v which_o be_v 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
