do_v good_a unto_o other_o and_o help_v the_o needy_a and_o the_o man_n in_o misery_n but_o the_o proper_a own_n of_o several_a good_n be_v once_o take_v away_o good_a deed_n and_o alm_n must_v of_o

propriety_n of_o good_n be_v in_o both_o the_o testament_n permit_v to_o christian_a man_n in_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n we_o read_v that_o among_o they_o of_o the_o primative_a common_a &_o

the_o need_n of_o they_o that_o lack_v if_o they_o sell_v then_o that_o which_o they_o sell_v be_v undoubted_o their_o own_o for_o no_o good_a man_n do_v sell_v a_o other_o man_n substance_n but_o that_o which_o be_v his_o own_o or_o that_o which_o he_o have_v take_v in_o hand_n to_o husband_n as_o his_o own_o moreover_o s._n peter_n compound_v all_o this_o controversy_n say_v to_o ananias_n

judgement_n touch_v this_o point_n i_o mean_v the_o opinion_n of_o they_o which_o by_o conference_n of_o scripture_n have_v make_v this_o matter_n most_o plain_a and_o manifest_a whereas_o we_o read_v

his_o proper_a house_n do_v dwell_v together_o in_o common_a all_o in_o one_o house_n but_o that_o they_o as_o it_o be_v immediate_o after_o add_v continue_v daily_o in_o the_o temple_n with_o one_o

answer_n in_o what_o house_n the_o christian_n at_o jerusalem_n do_v break_v their_o bread_n in_o the_o house_n of_o unbeliever_n i_o think_v nay_o therefore_o they_o break_v bread_n &_o eat_v meat_n in_o the_o house_n of_o the_o faithful_a how_o therefore_o do_v they_o all_o sell_v or_o forsake_v their_o land_n and_o house_n how_o do_v they_o live_v together_o like_a cloisterer_n whereas_o luke_n
