Osee — Chapter 3
These annotations are from the original 1609 Douay Old Testament, the first complete English Catholic Bible translation, produced by English scholars in exile at the English College of Douai. The archaic spelling is preserved.
This content was digitized from the original 1609 Douay (Old Testament) and 1582 Rheims (New Testament) print editions by OCR. The OCR process sometimes confused print page numbers with verse numbers, and may have assigned annotations to the wrong chapter. Chapter and verse labels on this page reflect the OCR output from the original print pagination and may not correspond to canonical Scripture chapter/verse numbers. For canonical reference, consult a standard Douay-Rheims edition. The annotation texts themselves are authentic 1609/1582 Douay-Rheims content.
Verse 1
Notwithstanding sinners forsake God, yet he offereth them new grace, neuer hating the persons, but their sinnes.
Verse 2
The Iewes not belieuiug in Christ, but expecting his comming, and in the meane time abstaying from seruing of idols, receiue of God temporal poore meanes to liue, not 30. pieces of siluer, and three cores of wheat, that is, belieuiug in the B. Trinitie, and keeping the ten commandments, they might possesse life euerlasting, but halfe so much: neither wheat but barley, til neere the end of the world: when they shal be conuerted to Christ.
