will_v save_v yourselves_o and_o i_o some_o labour_n 7._o first_o then_o luther_n begin_v his_o sermon_n with_o astonishment_n and_o blush_n to_o think_v that_o so_o great_a a_o apostle_n as_o saint_n paul_n shall_v be_v force_v to_o use_v so_o many_o word_n nay_o so_o many_o full_a sermon_n to_o persuade_v the_o people_n to_o maintain_v god_n minister_n so_o as_o to_o spend_v about_o it_o two_o whole_a chapter_n to_o the_o corinthian_n in_o a_o earnest_a kind_n of_o beggary_n i_o will_v be_v very_o loath_a say_v luther_n to_o his_o audience_n to_o diffame_v my_o wittenberg_n as_o st._n paul_n do_v his_o corinth_n but_o this_o be_v the_o ill_a fortune_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o so_o far_o be_v most_o man_n from_o give_v any_o thing_n for_o it_o or_o to_o it_o that_o all_o man_n will_v rather_o use_v all_o the_o base_a trick_n they_o can_v to_o circumvent_v to_o snatch_v to_o steal_v away_o the_o mean_n that_o shall_v maintain_v the_o minister_n of_o it_o the_o short_a and_o

while_n how_o necessary_a this_o doctrine_n of_o saint_n paul_n touch_v the_o maintenance_n of_o god_n minister_n be_v to_o be_v preach_v unto_o the_o people_n for_o the_o kin._n the_o it_o seem_v the_o german_a and_o british_a devil_n be_v near_o of_o kin._n devil_n have_v but_o two_o highway_n to_o destroy_v religion_n the_o one_o be_v by_o the_o error_n of_o heretic_n and_o the_o terror_n

in_o time_n the_o miserable_a people_n for_o want_v of_o god_n word_n be_v turn_v into_o so_o many_o brute_n beast_n 9_o this_o horrible_a mischief_n the_o better_a to_o bring_v about_o the_o devil_n stir_v up_o the_o impious_a magistrate_n in_o the_o city_n and_o some_o ungodly_a one_o of_o the_o nobility_n and_o gentry_n in_o the_o country_n violent_o to_o take_v away_o and_o to_o convert_v to_o their_o own_o impious_a use_n those_o church_n revenue_n which_o be_v the_o maintenance_n of_o god_n minister_n whereby_o it_o will_v soon_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o none_o that_o be_v worldly_a

the_o better_a heed_n this_o luther_n go_v over_o it_o again_o discover_v the_o devil_n deep_a drift_n in_o this_o mystery_n of_o iniquity_n say_v this_o be_v the_o devil_n own_o master-plot_n to_o banish_v christ_n religion_n out_o of_o our_o land_n without_o either_o the_o visible_a violence_n of_o the_o tyrant_n or_o the_o under_o hand_n work_v of_o the_o heretic_n 10._o ah_o then_o how_o much_o more_o likely_a be_v the_o apostasy_n and_o miserable_a must_v needs_o be_v that_o poor_a people_n case_n in_o who_o land_n all_o these_o three_o may_v seem_v to_o have_v conspire_v in_o a_o

on_o sad_o still_o and_o you_o must_v hear_v he_o out_o for_o you_o must_v give_v witness_n leave_v to_o speak_v out_o and_o to_o tell_v out_o their_o own_o tale_n their_o own_o way_n too_o 11._o will_v you_o know_v the_o calamity_n attend_v upon_o such_o horrible_a ingratitude_n then_o behold_v because_o a_o ungracious_a nation_n think_v much_o to_o part_v with_o their_o carnal_a thing_n for_o our_o spiritual_a thing_n therefore_o say_v he_o by_o a_o just_a judgement_n of_o god_n they_o shall_v forfeit_v and_o utter_o lose_v both_o their_o own_o carnal_a thing_n and_o our_o spiritual_a thing_n too_o 12._o and_o indeed_o i_o be_o very_o persuade_v that_o these_o church_n of_o galatia_n and_o of_o corinth_n etc._n etc._n be_v for_o no_o other_o cause_n thus_o infest_a and_o trouble_v with_o so_o many_o false_a apostle_n but_o because_o they_o do_v so_o notorious_o neglect_v their_o own_o true_a doctor_n for_o most_o just_a it_o be_v with_o god_n that_o those_o that_o deny_v he_o their_o penny_n when_o he_o afford_v they_o all_o their_o own_o good_a thing_n and_o offer_v they_o eternal_a life_n to_o boot_v shall_v be_v give_v over_o to_o such_o frenzy_n as_o

next_o word_n follow_v be_v not_o deceive_v god_n be_v not_o mock_v the_o apostle_n say_v he_o be_v so_o earnest_a in_o urge_v this_o text_n for_o the_o liberal_a maintenance_n of_o god_n minister_n that_o he_o be_v fain_o to_o back_v his_o exhortation_n with_o increpation_n downright_o chide_v yea_o to_o fortify_v both_o these_o with_o a_o severe_a commination_n say_v be_v not_o deceive_v god_n be_v not_o mock_v for_o whatsoever_o a_o man_n sow_v that_o shall_v he_o also_o reap_v 13._o and_o even_o here_o as_o we_o say_v he_o hit_v the_o nail_n on_o the_o head_n and_o meet_v full_a in_o
