Romans 9:11-16 yer the children were borne, when they had neither done good nor bad: that the purpose of God whiche is by election, might stand, it was sayed vnto her, not by the reason of workes, but by grace of the caller:

Matthew⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹¹ yer the children were borne, when they had neither done good nor bad: that the purpose of God whiche is by election, might stand, it was sayed vnto her, not by the reason of workes, but by grace of the caller: ¹² the elder shall serue the yonger. ¹³ As it is wrytten: Iacob loued, but Esau he hated. ¹⁴ What shall we saye then? is there any vnrightuousnes with God? God forbid. ¹⁵ For he sayth to Moyses: I will shewe mercy to whom I shewe mercy: and wyll haue compassion ¹⁶ on whom I will haue compassion. So lyeth it not then in a mans wil or cunnynge, but in the mercy of God.
