but_o to_o pass_v that_o for_o my_o part_n i_o conceive_v that_o all_o the_o hand_n that_o be_v write_v be_v advantageous_a to_o those_o that_o write_v speech_n or_o sermon_n and_o i_o further_o conceive_v that_o there_o be_v little_a difference_n in_o those_o hand_n that_o be_v already_o extant_a for_o those_o which_o brag_v most_o have_v least_o cause_n for_o if_o their_o method_n be_v short_a it_o be_v because_o they_o commit_v more_o to_o memory_n then_o it_o be_v the_o memory_n which_o help_v and_o not_o the_o rule_n but_o that_o must_v needs_o be_v best_o that_o be_v brief_a with_o the_o least_o trouble_n to_o memory_n for_o if_o any_o be_v please_v so_o far_o to_o charge_v their_o memory_n there_o be_v a_o way_n in_o this_o hand_n to_o write_v any_o or_o all_o the_o sentence_n in_o the_o scripture_n by_o mark_n which_o for_o the_o most_o part_n plain_o figure_v out_o the_o several_a sentence_n they_o belong_v to_o but_o it_o will_v be_v too_o long_o for_o i_o to_o discourse_n of_o that_o here_o something_o to_o this_o purpose_n i_o have_v write_v in_o the_o book_n and_o if_o any_o desire_v further_a satisfaction_n let_v they_o repair_v to_o i_o and_o they_o shall_v have_v it_o for_o there_o be_v more_o to_o be_v do_v by_o this_o hand_n than_o can_v well_o be_v commit_v to_o the_o press_n without_o great_a and_o large_a expression_n now_o as_o
