the_o wrath_n of_o god_n appear_v from_o heaven_n against_o a_o ungodliness_n and_o unrighteousness_n of_o man_n which_o withhold_v t●e_v truth_n in_o unrighteousness_n see_v that_o it_o which_o may_v be_v know_v of_o god_n be_v manifest_a among_o they_o because_o god_n have_v show_v it_o unto_o they_o for_o his_o invisible_a thing_n that_o be_v to_o say_v his_o eternal_a power_n and_o godhead_n be_v see_v forasmuch_o as_o they_o be_v understand_v by_o the_o work_n from_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n for_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n be_v reveal_v from_o heaven_n to_o the_o end_n he_o will_v confirm_v abroad_o the_o first_o reason_n whereby_o be_v prove_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o say_v of_o the_o gospel_n take_v away_o the_o gospel_n and_o then_o remain_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n and_o most_o unpure_a sin_n do_v range_v abroad_o the_o proposition_n now_o propose_v namely_o that_o by_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o gospel_n we_o be_v iustefied_a he_o bring_v many_o reason_n the_o first_o be_v when_o the_o gospel_n be_v receive_v by_o faith_n there_o spring_v forth_o righteousness_n but_o take_v away_o the_o gospel_n and_o faith_n and_o then_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n wax_v hot_a and_o man_n be_v defile_v with_o most_o unpure_a vice_n and_o sin_n wherefore_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o cause_n of_o our_o righteousness_n be_v the_o gospel_n take_v hold_v of_o by_o faith_n the_o minor_a or_o second_o proposition_n that_o where_o the_o gospel_n be_v away_o there_o be_v both_o wicked_a act_n and_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n he_o prove_v by_o a_o division_n as_o well_o towards_o the_o jew_n as_o towards_o the_o gentile_n of_o the_o jew_n he_o will_v speak_v in_o the_o next_o chapter_n now_o he_o entreat_v of_o the_o gentile_n and_o that_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n be_v pour_v upon_o they_o he_o prove_v by_o the_o horrible_a and_o filthy_a vice_n which_o he_o number_v and_o declare_v that_o those_o man_n deserve_v so_o to_o be_v forsake_v of_o god_n and_o headlong_o to_o be_v thrust_v into_o those_o sin_n because_o when_o they_o know_v he_o they_o dishonour_v he_o and_o give_v his_o honour_n unto_o creature_n and_o that_o they_o know_v god_n he_o prove_v for_o that_o his_o creature_n instruct_v they_o thereof_o and_o he_o make_v mention_v of_o so_o gross_a and_o filthy_a vice_n that_o they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o deny_v their_o own_o perverseness_n for_o if_o he_o have_v speak_v of_o those_o enormous_a sin_n which_o pertain_v unto_o the_o mind_n for_o that_o in_o they_o there_o be_v not_o so_o much_o shame_n it_o will_v not_o so_o much_o have_v move_v the_o reader_n but_o after_o this_o manner_n may_v the_o reason_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v resolve_v reason_n a_o resolution_n of_o the_o apostle_n his_o reason_n they_o be_v thus_o filthy_o contamynate_v therefore_o be_v they_o not_o reform_v within_o neither_o renew_v through_o the_o spirit_n and_o grace_n wherefore_o they_o be_v neither_o acceptable_a unto_o god_n nor_o yet_o reconcile_v unto_o he_o and_o we_o see_v that_o paul_n by_o this_o reason_n have_v not_o only_o confirm_v that_o which_o he_o intend_v but_o also_o by_o the_o self_n same_o labour_v &_o institute_v a_o most_o wholesome_a exhortation_n which_o repentance_n this_o be_v a_o good_a exhortation_n where_o be_v preach_v repentance_n he_o begin_v of_o repentance_n for_o he_o set_v before_o their_o eye_n their_o most_o heinous_a wicked_a act_n and_o show_v they_o that_o eternal_a punishemente_n be_v at_o hand_n unto_o they_o and_o that_o they_o suffer_v these_o thing_n through_o the_o anger_n of_o god_n towards_o they_o and_o to_o the_o end_n he_o will_v make_v they_o the_o more_o afraid_a he_o take_v away_o from_o they_o all_o manner_n of_o excuse_n affirm_v that_o they_o know_v right_o well_o after_o declare_v a_o place_n of_o john_n declare_v what_o sort_n they_o shall_v lead_v their_o life_n and_o the_o sum_n of_o this_o reason_n be_v red_a in_o the_o gospel_n of_o john_n the_o 3._o chapter_n he_o which_o beleve_v in_o the_o son_n have_v eternal_a life_n but_o he_o which_o beleve_v not_o shall_v not_o see_v eternal_a life_n and_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n abide_v over_o he_o there_o it_o manifest_o appear_v that_o by_o faith_n which_o be_v give_v we_o in_o christ_n we_o do_v obtain_v righteousness_n and_o life_n and_o contrariwise_o it_o be_v take_v away_o

they_o out_o in_o colour_n here_o peradventure_o a_o man_n will_v ask_v why_o god_n so_o forsake_v man_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v wrap_v in_o so_o great_a wicked_a act_n hereto_o may_v be_v answer_v he_o do_v it_o both_o for_o that_o they_o deserve_v this_o thing_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o idolatrye_a which_o they_o commit_v when_o as_o they_o have_v the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o true_a god_n and_o also_o chief_o to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v understand_v the_o necessary_a help_n have_v of_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n for_o if_o man_n have_v be_v but_o in_o a_o tolerable_a case_n they_o

of_o so_o great_a force_n i_o say_v that_o it_o be_v able_a to_o break_v in_o sunder_o the_o most_o grevous_a yoke_n of_o sin_n the_o wrath_n of_o god_n from_o heaven_n by_o wrath_n he_o fygurative_o understand_v vengeance_n augustine_n write_v to_o optatus_n in_o his_o 157._o epistle_n that_o wrath_n god_n what_o be_v wrath_n in_o god_n be_v not_o in_o god_n a_o perturbation_n of_o the_o mind_n

much_o use_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n that_o for_o the_o vengeance_n of_o god_n we_o rede_v anger_n or_o wrath_n and_o aristotle_n in_o his_o rhetoric_n define_v it_o to_o be_v a_o appetite_n

of_o rain_n and_o tempest_n which_o fall_v from_o heaven_n upon_o the_o earth_n and_o it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v that_o this_o wrath_n or_o vengeance_n of_o god_n be_v
