Footnotes

  1. Romans 2:11 God doth not measure men either by their blood, or by their country, either to receive them, or to cast them away.
  2. Romans 2:12 He applieth that general accusation of mankind particularly both to the Gentiles, and to the Jews.
  3. Romans 2:13 He preventeth an objection which might be made by the Jews, whom the Law doth not excuse, but condemns, because that not the hearing of the Law, but the keeping of the Law doth justify.
  4. Romans 2:13 Shall be pronounced just before God’s judgment seat: which is true indeed, if any such could be found that had fulfilled the law: but seeing Abraham was not justified by the Law, but by faith, it followeth that no man can be justified by works.
