¶ The .xj. Chapter.
¶ All the Iewes are not cast awaye, therfore Paul
warneth the Gentyls that be called, not to be hye
mynded nor to despyse the Iewes, for the iudgementes
of God are depe and secrete.
A I saye then: hath God cast awaye
hys people? God forbyd. For euen
I also am an Israelite, of the seed
of Abraham, of the trybe of Beniamin,
God hath not cast awaye his people,
which he knewe before. Wote ye not, what
þe; scripture sayth of Helias, how he maketh
intercession to God agaynst Israell, saying:
note Lorde, they haue kylled thy Prophetes,
and dygged downe thyne alters: and I am
lefte alone, and they seke my lyfe. But what
sayth the answere of God vnto hym? noteI haue
reserued vnto my selfe seuen thousande
men, which haue not bowed the knee to the
ymage of Ball. Euen so also at thys tyme
is ther a remanaunt lefte accordynge to the
eleccyon of grace. If it be of grace, then is it
not now of workes. For then grace is nomore
grace. But If it be of workes, then is
it now no grace. For then were deseruynge
nomore deseruynge.
B What then? Israel hath
not obtayned that which he seketh: but the
eleccyon hath obtayned it. The remna&ubar;t are
blynded accordynge as it is written. noteGod
hath geuen them the sprete of vnquyetnes:
eyes that they shuld not se, ∧ eares that they
shuld not heare, euen vnto this daye. noteAnd
Dauid sayth: Let their table be made a snare
to take them with all, and an occasy&obar; to fall,
and a reward vnto them. Let theyr eyes be
blynded that they se not: and bowe thou downe
their backe allwaye.
I saye then: haue they therfore stombled,
that they shuld vtterly fall awaye together.
God forbyd: but thorowe theyr fall is saluacyon
happened vnto the Gentyls, for to prouoke
them withall. Wherfore yf the fall of
them be the ryches of the worlde, and þe; mynisshynge
of them the ryches of the gentyls:
How moch more their perfectnesse? I speake
to you gentyls, in as moch as note I am þe; Apostle
of the gentyls, I wyll magnify myne office,
yf by any meane I maye prouoke them
which are my flesshe, and myght saue some
of them. For yf the castynge awaye of th&ebar;,
be the reconcylynge of the world: what shall
the receauynge of them be, but lyfe agayne
from deeth? For yf one pece be holy, þe; whole
heepe is holy. And yf the rote be holy, þe; braunches
shalbe holy also.
C Though some of the braunches be brok&ebar;
of, and thou beynge a wylde olyue tree, wast
graft in among them, and made partaker of
the rote and fatnes of the note olyue tree, boast
not thy selfe agaynst the braunches. For yf
thou boast thy selfe, thou bearest not þe; rote,
but the rote the. Thou wilt saye then: þe; braunches
are broken of that I myght be graft
in. Thou sayest well: because of vnbeleue
they were brok&ebar; of, and thou stodest stedfast
in fayth. Be not hye mynded, but feare: for
seynge that God spared not þe; naturall bra&ubar;ches,
take hede, lest it come to passe that he
spare not the also.
D Beholde therfore the kyndnes and rygorousnes
of God: on them which fell, rygorousnes.
but towardes the, kyndnes: yf thou
continue in hys kyndnes. Or els thou shalt
be hewen of, and they agayne note yf they byde
not styll in vnbelefe, shalbe graffed &ibar; agayne.
For God is of power to graffe th&ebar; in agayne.
For yf thou wast cut out of a naturall
wylde olyue tree, and wast graffed contrary
to nature in a true olyue tree: how moch more
shall the naturall braunches be graffed in
their awne olyue tree agayne.
I wolde not that this secrete shulde be hyd
from you my brethren (lest ye shuld be wyse
in youre awne consaytes) þt; partly blyndnes
is happened in Israell, vntyll the fulnes of
the g&ebar;tyls be come in: and so all Israel shalbe
-- --
saued.
E As it is wrytten. noteThere shall come
out of Syon he that doth delyuer, and shall
turne awaye vngodlynes from Iacob. And
thys is my couenaunt vnto th&ebar;, wh&ebar; I shall
take awaye their synnes. As concernynge þe;
gospell they are enemies for youre sakes: but
as touchyng the eleccyon they are loued for
the fathers sakes.
For verely, þe; gyftes and callynge of God
are soch, that it cannot repent hym of them:
for loke, as ye in tyme passed haue not beleued
God, yet haue now obtained mercy thorow
their vnbelefe: euen so now haue they
not beleued þe; mercy which is happened vnto
you: that they also maye obtayne mercy.
&rhand; For God had wrapped all nacyons in
vnbeleue, that he myght haue mercy on all.
O the depnes of the ryches both of þe; wysdome
and knowledge of God: &rhand; how vnsercheable
are his iudgementes, ∧ his wayes
past fyndynge out; For note who hath know&ebar;
the mynde of the Lorde? Or who hath bene
hys counseller? other who hath geuen vnto
hym fyrst, and he shalbe recompensed agayne?
For of hym, and thorow hym, and for
hym are all thynges: To hym be glorye for
euer. Amen.
