Romans 9:1-5

Mace(i) 1 I call Christ, and the holy spirit to witness with my conscience, that I speak the truth without guile, when I say, 2 that I have great heaviness, and continual sorrow in my heart. 3 for I could wish to be as one anathematiz'd from the christian church for my brethren, who are of the same race as my self, 4 who are Israelites; who had the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the law, the form of divine worship, and the promises; 5 who are the offspring of the patriarchs, and of whom as to the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.
