2_o there_o be_v a_o twofold_n preach_v of_o the_o gospel_n 1._o there_o be_v a_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n by_o inspiration_n from_o god_n 2_o tim._n 3.16_o which_o preach_v be_v now_o cease_v

his_o prophecy_n that_o of_o old_a time_n have_v in_o every_o city_n they_o that_o preach_v they_o be_v read_v in_o the_o synagogue_n every_o sabbath_n day_n so_o that_o to_o read_v the_o scripture_n

be_v preach_v by_o inspiration_n from_o god_n be_v to_o be_v preach_v still_o by_o the_o saint_n till_o all_o be_v perfect_v ephes_n 4.11_o 12_o 13._o and_o he_o give_v some_o apostle_n and_o some_o

the_o necessity_n that_o there_o be_v of_o the_o preach_n of_o this_o gospel_n appear_v to_o be_v great_a as_o by_o what_o have_v be_v say_v already_o so_o likewise_o by_o this_o that_o follow_v
