These words depend on the former chapter, §30as an answer to an objection, which may be framed on this manner. Paul thou sayest that the Jews before Christ, were under the §35law as under a schoolmaster, c. 3. v. 24. and that we are free from the same schoolmaster, v. 25. being children of God, and heirs by Christ, v. 29 but we for our parts think our selves servants under the law, as well as the ancient Jews, and that they are as well children of God, as we. To this objection, Paul makes answer ⟨p. 274⟩in these 7. verses, as the very first words import; And I say: that is, whatsoever you suppose, I say thus. And then he propounds the reason of his answer, which may be framed thus. If the time of our bondage be ended, and the full time of our liberty come, then are we sons and not servants: but the time of our bondage is ended, and the full time of our liberty is §5come: therefore we are not servants but sons.
THese words depend on the former chapter, §30as an answer to an obiection, which may be framed on this manner. Paul thou saiest that the Iewes before Christ, were vnder the §35law as vnder a schoolemaster, c. 3. v. 24. and that we are free from the same schoolemaster, v. 25. beeing children of God, and heires by Christ, v. 29 but we for our parts thinke our selues seruants vnder the law, as well as the ancient Iewes, and that they are as well children of God, as we. To this obiection, Paul makes answer ⟨p. 274⟩in these 7. verses, as the very first words import; And I say: that is, whatsoeuer you suppose, I say thus. And then he propounds the reason of his answer, which may be framed thus. If the time of our bondage be ended, and the full time of our libertie come, then are we sonnes and not seruants: but the time of our bondage is ended, and the full time of our libertie is §5come: therefore we are not seruants but sonnes.
