Here he showeth the final cause that God looked at in c••zing of us: namely that his grace might be praised by it, and that not after a common and ordinary manner, but with a certain glory: for he hath coupled those two things together, to the intent we should ⟨p. 19⟩[…] when we see how God hath drawn us out of the bottom […] open us the gate of his kingdom, and too call us too the […] salvation. Here we see yet again the thing that I treated […]: namely that all such as would put away Gods […], or are loth too here it spoken of, do therein show […] be mortal enemies of Gods praise. Too their seeming […] & vanisheth away. Yea, but who is the competent judge […] they themselves wiser than God, who hath spoken the […] too that which they allege? O (say they) that were the […] to open the mouths of many men to blaspheme God.
