bicause ∴ you repell it, and iudge your selues vnwoorthie of e∣ternall life: behold we turne vnto the Gentils.
The note.
The Iewes of their owne free will repelling the truth are vnwoorthie of Christ, and woorthily forsaken. And the Gentils though they beleeued specially by Gods grace and preordination, yet they beleeue also by their owne free will, which standeth well with Gods prouidence.
The answer.
That the Iewes repelled the grace of God offered them, and would none of it, we manifestly sée. That the Gentils beléeued also by Gods grace and preordination, that is also euident by the text it selfe. For there beléeued as many as were preordinate to life euerlasting. But that they beléeue by their frée will also, is your addition without any warrant, bicause you cannot abide that faith should be the méere gift and liberalitie of God.
