15 For he sayeth vnto Moses: I shewe mercy, to whom I shewe mercy: and haue copassion,
16 on who I haue compassion. So lyeth it not then in eny mans wyll or runnynge, but in the mercy of God.
17 For the scripture sayeth vnto Pharao: For this cause haue I stered the vp, euen to shewe my power on the, that my name mighte be declared in all lodes.
18 Thus hath he mercy on whom he wyl: and whom he wyl, he hardeneth.
19 Thou wilt saye then vnto me: Why blameth he vs yet? For who can resiste his will?
20 O thou man, who art thou, that disputest with God? Sayeth the worke to his workman: Why hast thou made me on this fashion?
21 Hath not the potter power, out of one lompe of claye to make one vessell vnto honoure, and another vnto dishonoure?
22 Therfore whan God wolde shewe wrath, and to make his power knowne, he broughte forth with greate pacience the vessels off wrath, which are ordeyned to damnacion:
23 that he mighte declare the riches off his glorye on ye vessels of mercy, which he hath prepared vnto glorye,
24 whom he hath called (namely vs) not onely of the Iewes, but also of the Gentyles.
