without_o some_o word_n of_o comfort_n when_o they_o need_v it_o yea_o they_o may_v observe_v how_o god_n in_o the_o word_n they_o read_v do_v counsel_v they_o too_o when_o they_o be_v in_o distress_n therefore_o let_v he_o that_o read_v mark_v and_o read_v for_o himself_o last_o the_o cause_n be_v in_o the_o most_o that_o their_o heart_n be_v not_o turn_v to_o god_n and_o so_o the_o veil_n be_v

exhort_v encourage_v command_a etc_n etc_n especial_o parent_n and_o minister_n shall_v see_v to_o it_o so_o shall_v magistrate_n also_o 2_o from_o the_o coherence_n note_n that_o we_o must_v cause_v other_o to_o read_v when_o we_o have_v read_v ourselves_o it_o be_v vile_a hypocrisy_n for_o a_o minister_n or_o parent_n to_o urge_v their_o child_n or_o servant_n to_o read_v the_o scripture_n when_o they_o neglect_v read_v themselves_o in_o the_o church_n here_o we_o have_v a_o plain_a proof_n for_o read_v of_o the_o scripture_n public_o in_o the_o church_n we_o see_v it_o be_v ancient_o both_o require_v and_o practise_v add_v for_o the_o further_a confirmation_n hereof_o these_o place_n deut._n 31.11.12_o neb._n 8._o luk_n 4._o act._n 13._o and_o this_o may_v assure_v we_o 1_o that_o public_a read_n be_v no_o invention_n or_o ordinance_n of_o man_n 2_o that_o the_o people_n of_o god_n have_v find_v in_o all_o age_n great_a need_n of_o this_o help_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v miserable_o transport_v with_o humour_n that_o so_o vilify_v or_o neglect_v this_o ordinance_n of_o god_n and_o it_o may_v be_v just_a with_o god_n that_o thou_o shall_v not_o profit_v by_o read_v at_o home_n when_o thou_o care_v not_o for_o read_v in_o the_o church_n thus_o of_o the_o read_n of_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o colossian_n epistle_n from_o laodicea_n here_o be_v a_o great_a ado_n

tell_v of_o a_o three_o epistle_n to_o the_o corinthian_n jacobus_n stapulensis_n cause_v such_o a_o epistle_n to_o be_v print_v but_o catharinus_n can_v easy_o avouch_v that_o it_o be_v a_o bastard_n

therefore_o require_v that_o his_o answer_n may_v be_v compare_v with_o their_o doubt_n this_o be_v the_o most_o public_a opinion_n but_o in_o the_o general_a it_o show_v we_o thus_o much_o that_o
