the_o apostle_n '_o emselve_n have_v from_o the_o beginning_n exercise_v the_o office_n of_o preach_v the_o word_n of_o administer_a the_o sacrament_n and_o of_o dispense_v the_o alm_n gather_v at_o

the_o say_v public_a alms._n whereupon_o the_o apostle_n order_v the_o multitude_n 3._o to_o seek_v out_o seven_o man_n of_o honest_a report_n and_o full_a of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o wisdom_n who_o we_o as_o some_o of_o our_o english_a bibles_n have_v it_o or_o who_o you_o as_o other_o may_v appoint_v over_o this_o business_n and_o hence_o a_o question_n may_v be_v start_v whether_o the_o

the_o parochial_a minister_n my_o business_n here_o be_v not_o to_o argue_v that_o point_n but_o to_o examine_v into_o this_o various_a read_n which_o i_o shall_v do_v in_o resolve_v three_o inquiry_n 1._o which_o of_o the_o two_o readins_n be_v the_o true_a one_o the_o resolution_n whereof_o be_v very_o easy_a the_o place_n ought_v to_o run_v thus_o who_o we_o may_v appoint_v over_o the_o business_n apostle_n in_o proof_n of_o this_o if_o any_o shall_v doubt_v it_o i_o appeal_v to_o all_o the_o mss_n and_o print_v copy_n of_o the_o greek_a testament_n i_o appeal_v to_o all_o the_o collection_n of_o various_a readins_n i_o appeal_v to_o the_o bibles_n into_o whatever_o language_n translate_v i_o appeal_v to_o all_o the_o english_a version_n and_o impression_n till_o of_o late_a and_o i_o appeal_v to_o the_o history_n of_o the_o whole_a fact_n here_o lay_v down_o which_o suppose_v it_o of_o necessity_n the_o apostle_n have_v have_v that_o business_n of_o distribute_v the_o public_a alm_n in_o their_o own_o hand_n from_o the_o beginning_n therefore_o they_o not_o the_o people_n delegated_a the_o seven_o to_o it_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v read_v you_o but_o we._n but_o then_o the_o next_o enquiry_n be_v 2._o when_o do_v this_o corruption_n steal_v first_o into_o the_o text_n answer_v i_o will_v not_o be_v peremptory_a in_o this_o but_o so_o far_o as_o my_o diligence_n and_o observation_n which_o have_v not_o be_v a_o little_a and_o manage_v with_o all_o care_n &_o faithfulness_n be_v able_a to_o carry_v i_o i_o must_v say_v that_o it_o creep_v in_o first_o in_o the_o year_n 1638._o in_o that_o very_a year_n there_o be_v a_o fair_a bible_n in_o folio_n print_v at_o cambridge_n with_o this_o erralum_n party_n and_o this_o be_v the_o first_o time_n i_o have_v yet_o be_v able_a to_o discover_v the_o corruption_n by_o the_o way_n here_o i_o must_v beg_v your_o favourable_a construction_n of_o this_o remark_n it_o be_v with_o the_o great_a aversion_n and_o infinite_a regret_n that_o i_o be_o force_v upon_o this_o occasion_n to_o bewray_v my_o own_o nest_n and_o to_o speak_v out_o this_o great_a truth_n to_o at_o least_o the_o seem_a

however_o as_o to_o the_o fact_n so_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o while_o the_o chief_a steward_n of_o the_o family_n be_v otherwise_o employ_v and_o the_o inferior_a servant_n i_o think_v sleep_v the_o enemy_n sow_v these_o tare_n which_o have_v be_v grow_v ever_o since_o until_o now_o this_o may_v suffice_v to_o point_n at_o the_o time_n when_o this_o error_n first_o entere_v into_o our_o

a_o enquiry_n worthy_a to_o be_v make_v and_o a_o clear_a and_o full_a discovery_n will_v deserve_v a_o hecatomb_n and_o though_o i_o will_v not_o promise_v so_o much_o yet_o something_o i_o have_v to_o offer_v towards_o it_o which_o though_o it_o amount_v not_o to_o a_o direct_a proof_n against_o any_o person_n yet_o i_o think_v may_v pass_v for_o a_o good_a circumstantial_a one._n to_o my_o
