mercy_n of_o god_n so_o that_o he_o be_v bind_v now_o not_o to_o work_v after_o his_o justice_n then_o what_o shall_v let_v we_o to_o think_v but_o that_o all_o thing_n be_v certane_v and_o stable_a what_o so_o ever_o he_o do_v gyve_v or_o promise_n now_o if_o blind_a hipocrise_n here_o object_n again_o that_o paul_n in_o his_o place_n spekyth_v only_o of_o abraham_n &_o therefore_o that_o thing_n concernyth_v none_o else_o but_o he_o but_o we_o must_v seek_v our_o health_n and_o justification_n otherwise_o i_o answer_v again_o not_o so_o for_o therefore_o paul_n callyth_v abraham_n there_o the_o father_n of_o all_o the_o believer_n and_o in_o he_o propose_v to_o we_o all_o the_o true_a mean_n how_o all_o man_n both_o before_o the_o cummyg_n of_o christ_n and_o after_o the_o

rom._n 4._o even_o as_o s._n paul_n in_o the_o very_a same_o chapter_n write_v this_o be_v not_o write_v for_o he_o only_o say_v he_o that_o it_o be_v impute_v to_o he_o for_o justice_n but_o for_o we_o all_o to_o who_o it_o shall_v be_v impute_v for_o justice_n beleve_v on_o he_o which_o reyse_v up_o from_o death_n our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n which_o be_v give_v for_o our_o sin_n and_o
