any_o thing_n that_o be_v sow_o in_o his_o field_n and_o that_o it_o may_v not_o seem_v strange_a that_o carnal_a thing_n shall_v be_v thus_o advance_v to_o spiritual_n for_o by_o a_o like_a conversion_n spiritual_a thing_n degenerate_a into_o carnal_a this_o likewise_o will_v be_v worth_a our_o observation_n religion_n be_v out_o of_o doubt_v a_o spiritual_a thing_n yet_o if_o that_o

16.17_o they_o who_o cause_n division_n among_o you_o serve_v not_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n but_o their_o own_o belly_n if_o any_o thing_n be_v flesh_n sure_a the_o belly_n be_v if_o there_o be_v so_o much_o malignance_n and_o sourness_n in_o schism_n and_o division_n to_o turn_v religion_n into_o flesh_n what_o shall_v we_o think_v of_o a_o religion_n in_o design_n that_o be_v make_v up_o all_o of_o sect_n and_o division_n that_o must_v be_v all_o flesh_n i_o say_v no_o more_o it_o be_v in_o private_a design_n only_o as_o when_o st._n paul_n charge_v the_o corinth_n with_o

only_o it_o be_v report_v from_o a_o house_n of_o cloe_n how_o these_o schism_n shall_v be_v dispose_v of_o a_o church_n shall_v be_v contrive_v that_o will_v give_v room_n and_o liberty_n to_o they_o

for_o who_o sake_n this_o shall_v be_v do_v will_v they_o not_o rather_o give_v we_o cause_n to_o fear_v what_o the_o poor_a trojan_n find_v when_o they_o break_v down_o the_o old_a wall_n of_o
