3 As God is the chiefest righteousness, so he §2cannot love that iniquity which he seeth in us. Therefore all of us have in us that which is worthy of the hatred of god:1 therefore in respect of corrupt nature, again of our wicked life being added thereto, we ⟨p. 127⟩are all in the displeasure of God, being in his sight §1 2guilty, and born to the damnation of hell.2 But because the Lord will not destroy that in us which is his, he findeth something which of his goodness he loveth §3though we be not fully coupled to God,3 before Christ doth join us.
3 As God is the chiefest righteousnesse, so hee §2cānot loue that iniquitie which he seeth in vs. Therfore all of vs haue in vs that which is worthie of the hatred of god:1 therfore in respect of corrupt nature, againe of our wicked life being added thereto, wee ⟨p. 127⟩are all in the displeasure of God, being in his sight §1 2giltie, and born to the dānation of hel.2 But because the Lord will not destroy that in vs which is his, hee findeth something which of his goodnesse he loueth §3though wee bee not fullie coupled to God,3 before Christ doth ioyne vs.
