that_o place_n and_o the_o context_n thereof_o for_o the_o apostle_n call_v that_o election_n a_o election_n of_o grace_n add_v this_o verse_n 6._o and_o if_o by_o grace_n than_o it_o be_v no_o more_o

who_o have_v work_n that_o be_v who_o have_v so_o fulfil_v the_o law_n as_o that_o he_o never_o break_v it_o in_o the_o least_o particle_n or_o jot_n thereof_o at_o any_o time_n for_o to_o he_o that_o

viz._n that_o none_o can_v believe_v in_o he_o of_o who_o they_o have_v not_o hear_v and_o after_o this_o manner_n as_o i_o conceive_v do_v the_o apostle_n bring_v in_o those_o word_n of_o the_o nine_o chapter_n to_o the_o roman_n and_o the_o sixteenth_o verse_n viz._n so_o then_o it_o be_v not_o of_o he_o that_o will_v nor_o of_o he_o that_o run_v but_o of_o god_n that_o show_v mercy_n which_o conclusion_n he_o draw_v and_o it_o evident_o follow_v out_o of_o those_o forego_v word_n verse_n 15._o viz._n for_o he_o say_v unto_o moses_n i_o will_v have_v mercy_n on_o who_o i_o will_v have_v mercy_n and_o i_o will_v have_v compassion_n on_o who_o i_o will_v have_v compassion_n but_o yet_o this_o be_v not_o that_o for_o which_o he_o quote_v those_o word_n but_o he_o quote_v they_o to_o show_v that_o there_o be_v no_o unrighteousness_n in_o god_n in_o show_v mercy_n to_o or_o in_o justify_v those_o which_o be_v figure_v either_o in_o isaac_n or_o in_o jacob_n that_o be_v in_o justify_v the_o faithful_a though_o they_o be_v gentile_n but_o yet_o because_o he_o have_v bewail_v the_o jew_n for_o that_o that_o they_o be_v ignorant_a of_o god_n way_n of_o righteousness_n or_o justification_n go_v about_o to_o establish_v a_o way_n of_o their_o own_o and_o have_v not_o submit_v themselves_o to_o god_n way_n and_o because_o that_o from_o these_o word_n of_o the_o fifteen_o verse_n a_o argument_n may_v be_v draw_v to_o convince_v they_o of_o their_o error_n he_o draw_v that_o argument_n from_o thence_o though_o by_o the_o by_o and_o though_o it_o be_v not_o that_o conclusion_n or_o thesis_n which_o he_o be_v to_o prove_v in_o this_o place_n when_o he_o be_v as_o i_o say_v to_o prove_v here_o that_o there_o be_v no_o unrighteousness_n in_o god_n for_o show_v

which_o i_o say_v be_v expedient_a to_o be_v know_v for_o the_o better_a understanding_n of_o this_o epistle_n of_o saint_n paul_n be_v to_o know_v how_o the_o part_n of_o scripture_n which_o he_o

take_v his_o testimony_n of_o scripture_n it_o will_v seem_v strange_a at_o the_o first_o to_o see_v how_o paul_n can_v bring_v they_o to_o prove_v such_o thing_n by_o they_o as_o he_o bring_v they_o for_o but_o that_o it_o may_v not_o seem_v strange_a this_o must_v be_v observe_v that_o many_o place_n of_o the_o scripture_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n have_v a_o double_a sense_n one_o concern_v
