therefore_o as_o you_o be_v teach_v the_o more_o meritorious_a but_o paul_n that_o know_v what_o it_o be_v both_o to_o do_v &_o suffer_v better_a than_o those_o by_o who_o you_o be_v persuade_v to_o place_v such_o high_a affiance_n in_o your_o work_n preach_v unto_o you_o here_o another_o kind_n of_o doctrine_n namely_o that_o even_o the_o suffering_n of_o this_o life_n your_o affliction_n your_o deed_n of_o best_a desert_n be_v not_o worthy_a of_o the_o glory_n to_o come_v and_o you_o may_v be_v assure_v that_o no_o man_n that_o ever_o fight_v under_o the_o banner_n of_o christ_n jesus_n
