they_o receive_v life_n so_o there_o be_v distinction_n of_o these_o member_n in_o their_o several_a operation_n the_o apostle_n in_o 1_o cor._n 12.4_o say_v that_o there_o be_v diversity_n of_o

in_o their_o proper_a operation_n for_o the_o gift_n make_v the_o member_n and_o not_o the_o member_n the_o gift_n and_o to_o this_o purpose_n the_o apostle_n speak_v very_o pertinent_o be_v all_o

of_o some_o thing_n and_o some_o of_o other_o thing_n so_o also_o those_o person_n in_o who_o those_o gift_n be_v be_v to_o be_v difference_v likewise_o and_o this_o the_o apostle_n do_v clear_o

in_o natural_a body_n one_o member_n can_v perform_v the_o office_n of_o another_o and_o the_o distinction_n of_o their_o operation_n in_o the_o body_n so_o also_o christ_n jesus_n be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o spiritual_a body_n he_o have_v communicate_v several_a gift_n to_o several_a member_n and_o have_v design_v certain_a peculiar_a office_n to_o some_o of_o those_o member_n now_o not_o

do_v they_o overthrow_v any_o substantial_a point_n of_o faith_n the_o apostle_n paul_n notwithstanding_o do_v rejoice_v when_o some_o preach_v christ_n out_o of_o envy_n so_o although_o they_o

may_v be_v lawful_a in_o a_o man_n family_n but_o not_o in_o a_o church_n for_o as_o there_o be_v no_o member_n of_o the_o body_n of_o jesus_n christ_n but_o be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n of_o the_o

or_o as_o you_o have_v it_o before_o can_v the_o eye_n perform_v the_o office_n of_o the_o hand_n or_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o eye_n for_o as_o you_o say_v though_o in_o respect_n of_o congregat_v

that_o the_o chief_a member_n can_v say_v to_o the_o least_o i_o have_v no_o need_n of_o thou_o now_o if_o every_o member_n can_v perform_v that_o which_o be_v special_o affirm_v of_o another_o then_o how_o can_v you_o justify_v your_o speech_n from_o the_o apostle_n who_o say_v the_o one_o have_v need_n of_o the_o other_o and_o if_o the_o one_o have_v need_n of_o the_o other_o it_o follow_v that_o he_o want_v that_o in_o another_o which_o he_o can_v perform_v himself_o if_o one_o have_v no_o need_n of_o another_o than_o he_o can_v only_o do_v that_o which_o proper_o be_v this_o but_o that_o

that_o in_o the_o work_n of_o reformation_n it_o be_v necessary_a that_o all_o error_n shall_v be_v discover_v and_o all_o truth_n embrace_v but_o you_o have_v very_o slender_o prove_v that_o your_o
