for_o they_o when_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n the_o business_n here_o be_v to_o consider_v well_o what_o it_o be_v to_o suffer_v as_o a_o christian_a not_o to_o be_v too_o hasty_a and_o

of_o what_o be_v in_o the_o bible_n as_o to_o the_o lording_n it_o over_o our_o faith_n and_o be_v not_o so_o hardy_a as_o to_o equal_v her_o institution_n with_o divine_a precept_n and_o we_o can_v never_o be_v sufficient_o thankful_a to_o god_n for_o the_o wisdom_n with_o which_o he_o inspire_v the_o church_n of_o england_n in_o this_o respect_n the_o modest_a and_o humble_a wisdom_n of_o the_o
