live_v filthy_o and_o wicked_o and_o bring_v into_o the_o pulpit_n nothing_o but_o a_o roll_a of_o the_o tongue_n and_o impudency_n whatsoever_o we_o speak_v we_o speak_v it_o not_o either_o as_o it_o shall_v or_o else_o as_o the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o to_o the_o end_n the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n may_v be_v handle_v according_a to_o the_o worthiness_n thereof_o two_o thing_n principal_o be_v by_o we_o to_o be_v take_v heed_n of_o the_o one_o y_z t_o we_o be_v not_o weaken_v nor_o feeble_v by_o fear_n y_z e_z other_o that_o out_o of_o the_o gospel_n we_o reap_v no_o jot_n or_o piece_n of_o praise_n unto_o ourselves_o a_o preacher_n mind_n must_v be_v prepare_v and_o diligent_o fens●●_n against_o either_o of_o these_o for_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o word_n of_o god_n except_o it_o be_v stiflye_a and_o manful_o uphold_v and_o maintain_v neither_o will_v serve_v the_o gospel_n nor_o the_o word_n of_o god._n for_o error_n be_v fearful_a base_a and_o quake_v it_o fear_v all_o thing_n it_o dread_v all_o thing_n it_o fly_v sight_n and_o light_n but_o the_o truth_n and_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n of_o jesus_n christ_n never_o abase_v itself_o never_o flatter_v any_o dissemble_v nothing_o feign_v nothing_o be_v unfearefull_a free_a bold_a to_o show_v her_o face_n and_o high_a wherefore_o as_o long_a as_o we_o speak_v the_o truth_n let_v not_o the_o force_n or_o authority_n of_o any_o man_n make_v we_o afraid_a let_v we_o call_v to_o mind_n that_o we_o be_v the_o messenger_n and_o ambassador_n of_o god_n let_v we_o call_v to_o mind_n that_o god_n have_v give_v we_o power_n to_o speak_v for_o what_o courage_n do_v not_o christ_n make_v we_o when_o he_o promise_v that_o he_o will_v be_v the_o revenger_n of_o the_o injury_n do_v unto_o we_o he_o say_v he_o that_o despise_v you_o despise_v i_o he_o which_o hurt_v you_o hurt_v the_o sight_n of_o my_o eye_n wherefore_o let_v we_o speak_v not_o dissemble_o not_o dark_o as_o do_v the_o phariseis_n but_o free_o and_o plain_o as_o have_v authority_n as_o meet_v it_o be_v that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v utter_v but_o nevertheless_o moderation_n must_v be_v use_v that_o we_o do_v not_o unreasonable_o touch_v or_o spot_v the_o good_a name_n and_o fame_n of_o other_o for_o then_o we_o shall_v seem_v to_o taunt_v or_o rail_v and_o to_o handle_v our_o own_o cause_n rather_o than_o to_o teach_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n but_o it_o become_v that_o servant_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o be_v modest_a and_o circumspect_a not_o to_o blab_v out_o any_o thing_n rash_o or_o cockishlye_a jest_n we_o may_v seem_v to_o speak_v not_o out_o of_o the_o holy_a pulpit_n but_o out_o of_o the_o cart_n neither_o yet_o to_o have_v cite_v the_o gosple_n but_o to_o have_v bring_v up_o again_o the_o old_a manner_n of_o comedy_n the_o next_o thing_n be_v that_o a_o preacher_n have_v not_o to_o great_a a_o conceit_n of_o himself_o but_o that_o he_o think_v that_o that_o function_n and_o office_n happen_v unto_o he_o from_o above_o from_o god_n that_o he_o shall_v discharge_v his_o duty_n diligent_o and_o with_o very_o great_a fear_n and_o that_o he_o shall_v think_v that_o he_o be_v occupy_v not_o in_o his_o own_o business_n but_o in_o god_n business_n so_o paul_n say_v he_o be_v nothing_o john_n cry_v that_o he_o be_v unworthy_a to_o pull_v of_o the_o shoe_n of_o messiah_n and_o therefore_o to_o abate_v arogancie_n they_o be_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n call_v not_o prince_n not_o magistrate_n not_o ruler_n not_o king_n but_o steward_n bailiff_n preacher_n or_o crier_n minister_n servant_n to_o the_o end_n that_o foras_fw-la much_o as_o we_o do_v this_o gear_n in_o the_o behalf_n of_o another_o we_o shall_v not_o grow_v proud_a for_o another_o body_n praise_n for_o the_o lord_n have_v not_o therefore_o commit_v his_o talon_n unto_o we_o that_o we_o shall_v convert_v it_o to_o our_o own_o commodity_n for_o he_o will_v not_o have_v we_o preacher_n and_o crier_n of_o our_o own_o wit_n and_o skill_n but_o of_o his_o will_n nether_a do_v we_o for_o any_o other_o cause_n carry_v about_o this_o treasure_n in_o earthen_a vessel_n than_o for_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v the_o brightness_n and_o clear_a light_n of_o the_o power_n of_o god_n i_o will_v not_o stay_v you_o with_o any_o more_o word_n you_o have_v hear_v that_o a_o preacher_n must_v speak_v both_o
