38._o 20._o they_o though_o they_o pretend_v they_o hate_v they_o for_o this_o or_o that_o fault_n yet_o that_o be_v not_o so_o for_o they_o love_v those_o that_o live_v in_o great_a fault_n and_o

to_o put_v themselves_o to_o the_o pain_n to_o attain_v to_o and_o so_o they_o count_v they_o discredit_v they_o who_o but_o for_o these_o precise_a one_o shall_v be_v count_v the_o best_a and_o as_o good_a as_o one_o will_v desire_v beside_o these_o tell_v they_o that_o their_o fruitless_a profession_n of_o religion_n will_v not_o serve_v to_o

to_o prepare_v for_o they_o in_o time_n strong_a christian_n and_o of_o better_a gift_n look_v so_o hover_o on_o the_o weak_a so_o the_o rich_a upon_o the_o poor_a fie_o upon_o it_o be_v they_o not_o

and_o this_o will_v increase_v love_n great_o for_o when_o we_o see_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n one_o in_o another_o and_o get_v good_a one_o by_o another_o our_o love_n be_v hereby_o great_o further_v another_o fault_n too_o much_o among_o many_o christian_n be_v as_o want_v of_o bowel_n of_o tender_a compassion_n towards_o our_o brethren_n in_o distress_n so_o there_o be_v not_o that_o

and_o they_o giver_n to_o we_o it_o will_v enlarge_v our_o heart_n and_o our_o hand_n towards_o they_o well_o what_o we_o do_v for_o they_o be_v not_o to_o fellow-member_n and_o fellow-brethren_n only_o but_o to_o christ_n jesus_n himself_o and_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o count_v for_o at_o the_o last_o and_o great_a day_n it_o be_v not_o so_o much_o they_o to_o who_o we_o give_v it_o as_o it_o

nor_o be_v they_o ashamed_a of_o that_o they_o have_v do_v but_o can_v lie_v and_o continue_v in_o it_o month_n after_o month_n be_v this_o the_o behaviour_n of_o fellow-member_n think_v we_o our_o
