* Brethren , (note :)Purposing to set forth in the Jews an example of marvellous obstinacy , he uses this declaration .(:note ) my heart 's desire and prayer to God for Israel is , that they might be saved . * For I beare them record , that they haue the zeale of God , but not according to knowledge . * * * * But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise , (note :)Do not think to yourself , as men that are doubting do .(:note ) Say not in thine heart , Who shall ascend into heaven ? (that is , to bring Christ down [from above ]:) * Or , Who shal descend into the deepe ? (that is to bring Christ againe from the dead ) * * * For with the heart man (note :)Faith is said to justify , and furthermore seeing the confession of the mouth is an effect of faith , and confession in the way to come to salvation , it follows that faith is also said to save .(:note ) believeth unto righteousness ; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation . * * For there is no difference betweene the Iewe and the Grecian : for he that is Lorde ouer all , is rich vnto all , that call on him . * * How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed ? (note :)That is , true faith , which seeks God in his word , and that preached : and this preaching God has appointed in the Church .(:note ) and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard ? and how shall they hear without a preacher ? * And how shall they preach , except they be sent ? as it is written , Howe beautifull are the feete of them which bring glad tidings of peace , and bring glad tidings of good things ! * * * * * But Esaias is very (note :)Speaks without fear .(:note ) bold , and saith , I was found of them that sought me not ; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me . * And vnto Israel hee sayth , All the day long haue I stretched foorth mine hand vnto a disobedient , and gainesaying people .
