We
fee
plainly
that other

glorifie
God
in

they
fulfill
the Law that
is
impofed upon

is,

[In

noteth
him
as
a
Patient,
and
matter of
all

[In

that
is, by being ingraffed
into him
by
Faith.
[In

is,
as
the
immediate worker from the Father.

God abfolutely,with-

The

he fpeaketh

fuch benefits as
we
finde
now

in

The third,
when he fpeaketh
of
things already
wrought
in
us, as
when
the right

The

not

yet this cometh
to
be done
by the Godhead immediately,

it

now
confidered
in
the perfon
of
the Son.
We
rnuft
look
at
thefe things
as
we
do
at
the
Sun,
if
we will
fee
it more fully
