that_o though_o they_o give_v god_n some_o outward_a service_n yet_o they_o look_v not_o at_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n but_o their_o own_o advantage_n and_o therefore_o they_o cry_v out_o it_o be_v

which_o bring_v no_o profit_n to_o the_o minister_n as_o namely_o the_o great_a ordinance_n of_o excommunication_n which_o tend_v to_o vindicate_v the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o the_o earth_n and_o to_o distinguish_v the_o precious_a from_o the_o vile_a yet_o because_o this_o ordinance_n of_o cast_v out_o bring_v they_o no_o profit_n how_o have_v they_o cast_v it_o out_o from_o among_o they_o while_o other_o thing_n that_o bring_v they_o in_o profit_n they_o appear_v zealous_a for_o and_o be_v there_o not_o many_o that_o seem_v ready_a to_o serve_v god_n and_o his_o cause_n but_o if_o we_o look_v thorough_o upon_o they_o be_v not_o their_o eye_n rather_o upon_o their_o own_o profit_n than_o god_n glory_n but_o to_o return_v to_o malachy_n you_o have_v also_o mention_v there_o make_v of_o a_o
