4 God hath his Church althogh it be not sene to mās eye. 5 The grace shewed to the elect. 7 The iudgement of the reprobate 8 God hathe blinded the Iewes for a time, and reueiled him self to the Gentiles. 18 Whome he warneth to humble them selues. 29 The giftes of God without re∣pentance. 33 The depth of Gods iugdement.
1 I Demande then, Hathe God cast awaye hys people? God forbid: for I also a man Israe∣lite,
of the sede of Abraham, of the tribe of Beniamin.
2 God hathe not cast away his people which hea knewe before Knowe ye not what the Scripture saith of Elias, how he maketh re∣quest vnto Godb against Israel, saying,
3 * Lord, they hane killed thy Prophetes, and digged downe thine altars: and I am left alo∣ne, and they seke my life?
4 But what saith the answer of God to him? * I haue reserued vnto my self c seuen thousand men, which haue not bowed the knee to Baal.
5 Euen so then at this present time is there a remnant through the election of grace.
6 And if (it be) of grace, it is no more of wor∣kes: orels were grace no more grace: but if it be of workes, it is no more grace: orels were worke no more worke.
7 What then? Israel hathe not obteined that he soght: but the election hathe obteined 〈◊〉〈◊〉 and the rest haue bene hardened.
8 According as it is written, * God hathe giuen then the spirit of“ slomber: eyes that they shulde not se, and eares that they shulde not heare vnto this day.
9 And Dauid saith, * Let theird table be made a snare, ād a net, and a stombling blocke, euen for are compence vnto them.
10 Let their eyes be darkened that they se not, ande bowe downe their backe alwayes.
11 I demande then, Haue they stombled, that theyf shulde fall? God forbid: but through their fall saluation (commeth) vnto the Gen∣tiles, tog prouoke them to follow them.
12 Wherefore if the fall of them (be) the riches of the worlde, and the diminishing of them theh riches of the Gētiles, how muche more shal their abundance (be?)
13 For (in that) I speake to you Gentiles, in asmuche as I am the Apostle of the Gentiles, I magnifie mine office,
14 (To trie) if by any meanes I mighti prouoke them of my flesh to followe them, and might saue some of them.
15 For if the casting away of them (be) the re∣conciling of the worlde, what (shal) the recei uing (be) butk life from the dead?
16 For ifl the first frutes (be) holie, so (is) the whole lompe: and if them roote be holie, so (are) the branches.
17 And thogh some of the branches be bro∣ken of, and thou being a wilde oliue tre, wast grafte in“ for them, and made partakers of the roote, and satnesse of then oliue tre,
18 Boast not thy self against the branches: and if thou boast thy self, thou bearest not the roote, but the roote thee.
19 Thou wilt say then, The branches are bro∣ken of, that I might be grafte in.
20 Wel: through vnbelefe they are broken of, and thou stādeth by faith: be not hie minded buto feare.
21 For if God spared not the natural branches (take hede,) lest he also spare not thee.
22 p Beholde therefore the bountifulnes, and seueritie of God: to warde them which haue fallen, seueritie: but towarde thee, bountiful nes, if thou continue in (his) bountifulnes: or els thou shalt also be cut of.
23 And thei also, if thei abide not stil in vnbele fe, shalbe graffed in: for God is able to graffe them in againe.
24 For if thou wast cut out of the oliue, tre, which was wilde by nature, and wast graffed contrary to nature in a right oliue tre, how muche more shal they that are by nature, be graffed in their owne oliue tre?
25 For I wolde not, brethren, that ye shulde be ignorant of this secret [lest ye shulde be arro∣gant in your selues] that partelyq obstinacie is come to Israel, vntil the fulnes of the Gen∣tiles be come in,
26 And sor all Israel shalbe saued, as it is written, * The deliuerer shal come out of Sion, and shal turne away the vngodlines from 〈◊〉〈◊〉.
27 And this is my couenant to them, * When I shal take away their sinnes.
28 As cōcerning the Gospel, (they are) enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloued for the fathers sakes.
29 For thes giftes and calling of GOD are without repentance.
30 For euen as ye in time past haue not beleued God, yet haue now obteined mercie through their vnbelefe,
31 Euen so now haue they not beleued“ by the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 (shewed) vnto you, that they also may obteine mercie.
32 For God hathe shut vpt all in vnbelefe, that he might haue mercie on all.
33 O the depnes of the riches, bothe of the wisdome, and knowledge of God! how vn∣searcheable are his iudgemēts, and his wayes past finding out!
34 * Foru who hathe knowen the minde of the Lord? or who was his counseller?
35 Or who hathex giuen vnto him first, and he shalbe recompensed?
36 For ofy him, and through him, and for him are all things: to him (be) glorie for euer. Amen.
