preach_v his_o gospel_n he_o give_v not_o to_o some_o one_o some_o singular_a and_o principal_a commandment_n but_o the_o like_a &_o one_o to_o they_o all_o thus_o go_v you_o into_o all_o coast_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o preach_v the_o gospel_n among_o all_o people_n and_o nation_n and_o therefore_o in_o the_o revelation_n the_o heavenly_a jerusalem_n be_v not_o say_v to_o be_v found_v upon_o one_o and_o a_o particular_a pillar_n or_o especial_o upon_o one_o of_o all_o the_o rest_n but_o simple_o upon_o twelve_o and_o when_o as_o upon_o the_o day_n of_o pentecost_n the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v pour_v out_o upon_o the_o twelve_o apostle_n he_o be_v not_o pour_v out_o upon_o some_o one_o of_o they_o especial_o and_o chief_o but_o he_o be_v simple_o pour_v out_o upon_o all_o last_o of_o all_o when_o paul_n describe_v the_o function_n and_o office_n of_o the_o pastor_n of_o the_o church_n he_o do_v not_o give_v to_o any_o one_o the_o principality_n or_o lordship_n over_o the_o rest_n but_o
