blind_a yea_o a_o furious_a beast_n therefore_o it_o be_v no_o marvel_n if_o false_a brethren_n do_v take_v occasion_n cut_v of_o the_o gospel_n to_o disquiet_v the_o good_a and_o faithful_a pastor_n and_o true_o paul_n have_v say_v nothing_o here_o which_o myself_o have_v not_o try_v for_o as_o yet_o there_o live_v some_o at_o this_o day_n who_o have_v preach_v the_o gospel_n with_o none_o

the_o life_n of_o one_o man_n but_o if_o they_o that_o be_v so_o seduce_v by_o ambition_n be_v emulous_a among_o themselves_o we_o must_v acknowledge_v the_o marvelous_a goodness_n of_o god_n who_o

as_o much_o as_o we_o may_v mark_v again_o this_o manner_n of_o speech_n of_o the_o defence_n of_o the_o gospel_n for_o since_o christ_n vouchsafe_v we_o such_o honour_n what_o excuse_n can_v we_o have_v if_o we_o be_v faint_a heart_a in_o his_o cause_n or_o what_o must_v we_o look_v for_o if_o we_o betray_v it_o by_o our_o silence_n but_o that_o in_o like_a manner_n he_o shall_v forsake_v our_o cause_n who_o alone_o be_v our_o advocate_n and_o patron_n with_o god_n his_o father_n 18_o what_o then_o yet_o all_o manner_n of_o way_n whether_o under_o pretence_n or_o true_o christ_n be_v

shall_v be_v magnify_v in_o my_o body_n whether_o it_o be_v by_o life_n or_o death_n 21_o for_o christ_n be_v to_o i_o both_o in_o life_n and_o in_o death_n advantage_n 18_o yet_o all_o manner_n of_o way_n because_o the_o wicked_a mind_n of_o they_o of_o who_o he_o speak_v may_v slander_v the_o grace_n of_o the_o doctrine_n he_o say_v that_o this_o be_v great_o to_o be_v esteem_v because_o that_o they_o promote_v the_o gospel_n notwithstanding_o whatsoever_o their_o intent_n be_v for_o god_n by_o evil_n and_o wicked_a instrument_n sometime_o bring_v to_o pass_v a_o excellent_a work_n therefore_o he_o say_v he_o rejoice_v for_o such_o success_n because_o he_o be_v content_v with_o this_o only_a to_o see_v the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n increase_n as_o when_o we_o do_v hear_v that_o the_o unclean_a dog_n charles_n at_o auenion_n and_o in_o other_o place_n do_v sow_v the_o seed_n of_o pure_a doctrine_n in_o many_o man_n heart_n we_o give_v thanks_n unto_o god_n who_o use_v this_o
