not_o therefore_o streightwaye_o the_o true_a heir_n of_o abraham_n because_o their_o stock_n and_o pedigrue_a be_v derive_v from_o the_o circumcise_a abraham_n or_o because_o they_o receive_v the_o

special_o &_o chief_o see_v that_o abraham_n before_o the_o law_n whether_o it_o be_v of_o moses_n or_o of_o the_o circumcision_n be_v justify_v only_o by_o faith_n and_o call_v the_o father_n of_o many_o nation_n that_o be_v of_o all_o believer_n final_o he_o conclude_v thus_o see_v that_o the_o law_n can_v give_v that_o effectual_a work_n whereby_o it_o may_v willing_o and_o cheerful_o be_v satisfy_v also_o see_v that_o the_o grudge_n and_o murmur_v stir_v up_o by_o the_o law_n abide_v and_o remain_v in_o we_o and_o disdain_v and_o take_v it_o grevous_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v any_o positive_a law_n set_v down_o for_o she_o i_o say_v that_o this_o hatred_n against_o the_o law_n and_o the_o lawgever_n god_n himself_o still_o continue_v it_o can_v de_fw-fr that_o the_o work_v of_o the_o law_n shall_v please_v god_n nay_o rather_o see_v they_o proceed_v from_o a_o hart_n that_o abhor_v the_o law_n &_o god_n they_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o sin_n and_o do_v always_o incense_n and_o kindle_v the_o indignation_n and_o wrath_n of_o god_n wherefore_o faith_n only_o do_v obtain_v the_o blessing_n and_o grace_n promise_v to_o abraham_n now_o it_o be_v not_o write_v for_o he_o only_o but_o also_o for_o we_o as_o paul_n say_v in_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o this_o chapter_n that_o faith_n may_v also_o be_v impute_v and_o reckon_v to_o we_o for_o righteousness_n in_o the_o five_o chapter_n he_o intreat_v of_o work_v and_o of_o the_o fruit_n of_o faith_n which_o be_v these_o peace_n joy_n of_o conscience_n love_n towards_o god_n &_o our_o neighbour_n a_o profitable_a courageous_a &_o bold_a confidence_n and_o a_o stout_a &_o manful_a perseverance_n &_o patience_n in_o tribulation_n and_o affliction_n for_o straight_a way_n these_o fruit_n follow_v wheresoever_o this_o true_a faith_n be_v in_o the_o hart_n sure_o that_o most_o excellent_a riches_n and_o abundant_a wealth_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n offer_v and_o exhibit_v to_o we_o in_o christ_n who_o god_n will_v have_v die_v for_o we_o when_o we_o be_v as_o yet_o weakling_n yea_o enemy_n to_o god_n if_o so_o be_v by_o faith_n it_o be_v know_v and_o acknowledge_v of_o we_o in_o our_o heart_n it_o can_v but_o inflame_v we_o and_o make_v we_o strong_a and_o able_a to_o do_v most_o willing_o cheerful_o and_o ready_o all_o those_o thing_n which_o we_o know_v will_v please_v this_o our_o most_o gentle_a father_n therefore_o the_o chief_a sentence_n drift_n and_o scope_n of_o this_o epistle_n stand_v steadfast_a and_o sure_a namely_o that_o by_o faith_n alone_o we_o be_v justify_v without_o

faith_n and_o wheresoever_o faith_n be_v it_o can_v choose_v but_o work_n like_a as_o the_o flame_n can_v not_o but_o geve_v good_a light_n of_o these_o that_o be_v true_o good_a work_n the_o justiciaries_n who_o have_v nothing_o so_o rife_o in_o their_o mouth_n as_o work_n work_n work_n know_v nothing_o at_o all_o they_o do_v but_o only_o imagine_v in_o themselves_o certain_a cold_a work_n which_o because_o they_o have_v no_o spark_n of_o faith_n in_o they_o be_v void_a of_o all_o spiritual_a affection_n as_o joy_n peace_n of_o the_o conscience_n and_o that_o bold_a trust_n and_o assurance_n in_o god_n and_o be_v rot_a fruit_n of_o a_o rot_a tree_n after_o this_o the_o apostle_n make_v a_o pleasant_a digression_n show_v how_o sin_n and_o righteousness_n also_o how_o death_n and_o life_n come_v upon_o us._n and_o there_o he_o compare_v those_o two_o adam_z and_o christ_n wherefore_o he_o reason_v thus_o argument_n the_o apostle_n argument_n it_o be_v therefore_o needful_a and_o necessary_a that_o christ_n shall_v be_v send_v who_o shall_v make_v his_o righteousness_n to_o be_v we_o by_o the_o new_a birth_n or_o regeneration_n in_o faith_n and_o the_o spirit_n even_o as_o the_o old_a man_n adam_n by_o propagation_n leave_v we_o his_o sin_n through_o that_o old_a generation_n according_a to_o the_o flesh_n again_o by_o this_o argument_n another_o proposition_n be_v sure_o ground_v namely_o that_o no_o man_n by_o his_o own_o strength_n and_o power_n be_v able_a to_o deliver_v himself_o from_o sin_n or_o to_o justify_v himself_o for_o it_o be_v not_o in_o our_o choice_n to_o be_v bear_v or_o not_o to_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o old_a adam_n and_o according_a to_o the_o flesh_n which_o by_o other_o argument_n be_v evident_a and_o clear_a enough_o for_o if_o the_o law_n of_o god_n which_o sure_o if_o any_o other_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n may_v have_v justify_v aught_o to_o have_v prevail_v and_o avayl_v for_o righteousness_n do_v not_o only_o not_o justify_v but_o rather_o increase_v and_o augment_v sin_n in_o we_o namely_o that_o grudge_v and_o fret_v of_o our_o nature_n daily_o stomack_v and_o murmur_v at_o god_n yea_o the_o more_o it_o do_v press_v we_o the_o more_o it_o styr_v up_o sin_n in_o our_o nature_n which_o go_v against_o all_o whatsoever_o be_v forbid_v negata_fw-la nitimur_fw-la in_o vetite_n semper_fw-la cu●_n pimusque_fw-la negata_fw-la therefore_o the_o more_o perfect_o we_o know_v the_o law_n the_o more_o misery_n we_o behold_v in_o ourselves_o and_o we_o see_v the_o better_a how_o that_o we_o have_v more_o need_n of_o

in_o this_o chapter_n the_o apostle_n teach_v that_o we_o be_v not_o so_o justify_v &_o free_v from_o sin_n by_o faith_n that_o sin_n be_v quite_o take_v away_o and_o altogether_o abolish_v in_o we_o ●●nne_n relic_n of_o ●●nne_n but_o that_o the_o relic_n of_o sin_n as_o yet_o remain_v in_o us._n nevertheless_o those_o renmaunt_n of_o sin_n be_v not_o lay_v to_o our_o charge_n by_o reason_n of_o

mortification_n of_o our_o flesh_n and_o newene_n of_o our_o spiritual_a life_n we_o express_v the_o death_n and_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n as_o also_o that_o sign_n of_o mortification_n in_o baptism_n which_o do_v signify_v and_o represent_v unto_o we_o no_o other_o thing_n but_o this_o continual_a mortification_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o daily_a vivification_n and_o quicken_n of_o the_o spirit_n for_o baptism_n that_o be_v this_o mortification_n do_v work_n in_o we_o so_o long_o until_o sin_n be_v abolish_v and_o abandon_v by_o the_o death_n of_o our_o body_n we_o rise_v in_o our_o body_n with_o christ_n and_o reign_v with_o he_o for_o evermore_o and_o this_o thing_n namely_o the_o daily_a mortification_n of_o our_o flesh_n we_o may_v perform_v because_o we_o be_v not_o
