to_o give_v you_o a_o sampler_n how_o that_o by_o welldoing_a you_o shall_v indevor_n to_o fulfil_v all_o righteousness_n christ_n have_v teach_v you_o this_o lesson_n two_o way_n by_o his_o word_n

3._o shall_v shine_v like_o star_n in_o the_o firmament_n for_o ever_o and_o ever_o the_o second_o thing_n whereunto_o a_o servant_n be_v call_v be_v to_o suffer_v what_o must_v he_o suffer_v all_o

open_v he_o not_o his_o mouth_n when_o the_o soldier_n buffet_v he_o spit_v on_o he_o and_o strike_v he_o on_o the_o head_n he_o threaten_v not_o to_o be_v 7_o isa_n 53._o 7_o revenge_v but_o with_o silence_n and_o patience_n he_o refer_v and_o commit_v all_o to_o he_o to_o who_o it_o do_v just_o belong_v to_o punish_v and_o take_v vengeance_n so_o say_v this_o bless_a apostle_n peter_n you_o and_o all_o servant_n must_v do_v if_o you_o be_v revile_v and_o wrong_v you_o must_v be_v silent_a commit_v and_o commend_v your_o cause_n and_o case_n your_o body_n and_o soul_n to_o your_o

much_o such_o refractory_a and_o stubborn_a fellow_n forget_v god_n and_o themselves_o they_o forget_v whereunto_o they_o be_v call_v how_o and_o what_o christ_n suffer_v for_o we_o and_o for_o they_o that_o it_o be_v to_o give_v they_o a_o example_n to_o follow_v he_o in_o humility_n meekness_n patience_n and_o obedience_n they_o forget_v i_o say_v the_o sampler_n and_o pattern_n which_o be_v
