Psalms — Chapter 12
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
Not one. S. Paul by this place and the like (Isa. 50. v. 7.) confirmeth his doctrine (Rom. 3.) that both Iewes and Gentiles, meaning all mankind, were in that state, that none, no not one, without the grace of Christ, were iust, nor could be iustified nor saued by the law of Nature nor of Moyfes. Which proueth the necessitie of faith. But neither that only faith iustifieth, nor that the iustest are still wicked, as Caluin and Beza falsely expound these Scriptures. For the Prophets and S. Paul speake of men before they be iustified, teaching that all mankind was once in sinne, and none could be iustified but by Christ.
