in_o this_o life_n the_o first_o argument_n be_v from_o the_o appointment_n of_o god_n god_n have_v so_o appoint_v from_o all_o eternity_n that_o they_o shall_v suffer_v therefore_o see_v that_o

now_o leave_v that_o which_o we_o speak_v the_o last_o day_n upon_o the_o text_n precede_v i_o come_v to_o this_o present_a text_n the_o apostle_n in_o the_o five_o verse_n of_o this_o chapter_n

that_o in_o the_o verse_n follow_v he_o show_v what_o effect_n that_o report_n of_o timothy_n wrought_v in_o he_o it_o bring_v to_o he_o joy_n and_o consolation_n notwithstanding_o of_o all_o his_o

come_v back_o again_o the_o text_n contain_v a_o plain_a narrative_n wherefore_o say_v he_o when_o i_o can_v no_o long_o forbear_v i_o send_v timothy_n to_o you_o of_o this_o we_o speak_v the_o last_o

wherefore_o he_o send_v timothy_n one_o for_o their_o cause_n to_o establish_v they_o a_o other_o for_o his_o own_o cause_n that_o he_o himself_o may_v understand_v of_o their_o perseverance_n in_o
