that_o they_o be_v fellowlabourer_n or_o workman_n with_o he_o in_o advaunce_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n they_o all_o join_a heart_n and_o hand_n together_o in_o set_v forward_o that_o excellent_a

acception_n of_o the_o word_n in_o the_o scripture_n special_o of_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v mean_v the_o glorious_a gospel_n of_o christ_n by_o which_o as_o it_o be_v by_o god_n what_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n a_o standard_n lift_v up_o god_n gather_v a_o church_n unto_o himself_o and_o thereby_o manife_v to_o man_n a_o mean_n whereby_o they_o may_v have_v entrance_n

of_o they_o be_v amplify_v by_o these_o word_n in_o the_o text_n that_o these_o be_v they_o alone_o of_o the_o circumcision_n who_o help_v he_o in_o promote_a christ_n kingdom_n at_o rome_n and_o do_v

rather_o think_v he_o to_o have_v be_v at_o rome_n than_o a_o little_a before_o that_o time_n which_o they_o themselves_o assign_v to_o his_o passion_n or_o suffer_v there_o which_o in_o their_o own_o opinion_n be_v the_o very_a selfsame_o time_n in_o which_o this_o epistle_n be_v write_v they_o affirm_v that_o both_o peter_n and_o paul_n suffer_v and_o be_v crucify_v at_o rome_n in_o one_o and_o

because_o they_o all_o equal_o receive_v the_o spirit_n and_o to_o affirm_v the_o other_o be_v to_o make_v he_o uncharitable_a and_o to_o note_v he_o to_o be_v a_o forsaker_n of_o the_o brethren_n and_o not_o a_o fellow_n sufferer_n with_o they_o in_o their_o band_n and_o affliction_n so_o that_o while_o they_o go_v about_o to_o bring_v he_o to_o rome_n they_o have_v spin_a a_o fair_a thread_n in_o that_o they_o pull_v upon_o he_o and_o by_o consequent_a upon_o themselves_o these_o inconvenience_n at_o the_o least_o but_o the_o truth_n be_v he_o be_v not_o there_o and_o for_o the_o further_o strongthen_v of_o we_o therein_o we_o be_v to_o be_v persuade_v that_o if_o he_o have_v be_v there_o the_o apostle_n who_o be_v so_o careful_a yea_o so_o curious_a as_o it_o be_v both_o in_o
