THE CARNAL MANS CONDITION.
THE CARNALL MANS CONDITION.
IN the beginning of this Chapter, the Apostle Paul, by way of Preface, prepareth way for those many ⟨p. 88⟩excellent truths, that the Spirit of God had furnished him withal, to send to the Saints that were at Rome: And that those Heavenly Mysteries might take the deeper root in their hearts, and find the better acceptance with them, In the first place he cleareth the Authority of his Calling, and that he came not before he was sent of God. ver. 1. Paul a Servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an Apostle, separated unto the Gospel of God. And therefore being thus called, it became them to receive his doctrine, not as the notions of his own brain, but as the Word of the immortal God.
