those_o who_o have_v plead_v the_o same_o before_o i_o with_o great_a dexterity_n so_o far_o forth_o as_o shall_v please_v almighty_a god_n to_o open_v man_n eye_n and_o to_o incline_v their_o heart_n to_o see_v and_o acknowledge_v this_o doctrine_n we_o shall_v have_v cause_n with_o reverend_a thankfulness_n to_o praise_v his_o name_n and_o glad_o to_o enjoy_v the_o fruit_n of_o our_o labour_n and_o whereas_o otherwise_o any_o body_n shall_v repute_v our_o argument_n slight_a than_o to_o be_v yield_v unto_o yet_o nevertheless_o we_o shall_v by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n go_v on_o cheerful_o and_o faithful_o in_o the_o work_n of_o our_o call_n know_v assure_o that_o while_n we_o labour_v sincere_o to_o glorify_v the_o lord_n and_o to_o edify_v his_o church_n in_o all_o needful_a knowledge_n our_o reward_n may_v a_o while_n be_v defer_v and_o deny_v by_o man_n in_o this_o world_n but_o it_o will_v be_v heap_v upon_o we_o with_o the_o great_a measure_n of_o true_a happiness_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n by_o almighty_a god_n and_o therefore_o in_o regard_n of_o these_o worldly_a thing_n i_o say_v unto_o my_o brethren_n and_o to_o myself_o as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v to_o servant_n be_v thou_o call_v be_v a_o servant_n care_n not_o for_o it_o but_o âf_o thou_o may_v be_v 22_o 1._o coâ_n 7._o 21._o 22_o free_a use_v it_o rather_o for_o he_o that_o be_v

this_o more_o servile_a condition_n to_o be_v provide_v for_o aâ_n the_o courtesy_n of_o our_o church_n let_v we_o not_o care_n for_o it_o but_o if_o we_o can_v happy_o obtain_v the_o more_o free_a estate_n to_o receive_v the_o tithe_n which_o be_v our_o due_n let_v we_o use_v it_o âather_n for_o he_o that_o minister_v in_o meanness_n and_o needinesse_n he_o be_v rich_a and_o eminent_a in_o the_o lord_n for_o great_a be_v his_o reward_n in_o heaven_n and_o he_o that_o abound_v in_o the_o riches_n of_o this_o world_n be_v in_o christ_n but_o all_o one_o with_o the_o mean_a of_o his_o
