our_o love_n to_o the_o truth_n if_o such_o as_o be_v our_o hatred_n to_o error_n be_v our_o love_n to_o true_a religion_n then_o sure_o brethren_n we_o be_v fall_v from_o our_o first_o love_n

therefore_o i_o pray_v let_v i_o commend_v four_o caveat_n to_o you_o with_o which_o i_o will_v conclude_v this_o point_n the_o first_o be_v
deceiver_n be_v true_a jeremiah_n also_o when_o the_o prince_n will_v have_v put_v he_o to_o death_n as_o a_o false_a prophet_n regard_v not_o his_o life_n but_o stand_v in_o defence_n of_o that_o

i_o unto_o you_o to_o speak_v all_o these_o word_n in_o your_o ear_n jer._n 26._o 14_o 15._o so_o our_o saint_n paul_n oftentimes_o vindicate_v his_o credit_n and_o stand_v upon_o his_o sincerity_n

in_o another_o place_n of_o this_o epistle_n not_o walk_v in_o craftiness_n nor_o handle_v the_o word_n of_o god_n deceitful_o but_o by_o manifestation_n of_o the_o truth_n commend_v ourselves_o to_o every_o man_n conscience_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n 2_o cor._n 4._o 2._o and_o this_o be_v it_o which_o every_o faithful_a minister_n of_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v especial_o stand_v upon_o for_o

high_a sometime_o too_o plain_a sometime_o too_o sharp_a sometime_o too_o please_v let_v the_o world_n say_v what_o it_o will_v if_o we_o speak_v the_o truth_n in_o christ_n our_o conscience_n bear_v we_o witness_v in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o guide_n of_o our_o conscience_n that_o we_o lie_v not_o keep_v back_o nothing_o that_o be_v profitable_a to_o the_o people_n but_o declare_v unto_o

and_o thus_o have_v i_o show_v you_o what_o a_o minister_n of_o jesus_n christ_n may_v pass_v through_o i_o shall_v now_o come_v to_o the_o second_o point_n and_o show_v you_o that_o it_o be_v the_o
