peter_n be_v appoint_v by_o god_n to_o go_v to_o cornelius_n the_o captain_n 10._o so_o soon_o as_o he_o come_v in_o unto_o he_o by_z and_o by_o cornelius_n meet_v he_o fall_v down_o at_o his_o foot_n and_o worship_v he_o he_o think_v he_o a_o god_n and_o no_o man._n and_o thus_o as_o you_o see_v sometime_o the_o people_n offend_v too_o much_o on_o that_o hand_n and_o give_v more_o honour_n and_o reverence_n unto_o god_n minister_n than_o god_n himself_o require_v or_o they_o look_v for_o sometime_o again_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n they_o give_v they_o no_o reverence_n they_o attribute_v no_o honour_n unto_o they_o they_o do_v set_v too_o little_a by_o the_o preacher_n of_o god_n word_n and_o this_o be_v a_o fault_n on_o the_o other_o side_n when_o christ_n in_o our_o nature_n begin_v first_o to_o preach_v and_o set_v abroad_o his_o father_n will_n and_o the_o glad_a tiding_n of_o the_o gospel_n the_o people_n forthwith_o find_v fault_n with_o he_o he_o be_v say_v they_o but_o a_o carpenter_n son_n 6._o we_o know_v his_o father_n we_o know_v his_o mother_n he_o be_v never_o set_v to_o school_n how_o can_v this_o man_n have_v learning_n afterwards_o when_o the_o disciple_n and_o apostle_n of_o christ_n preach_v and_o teach_v the_o people_n and_o begin_v to_o speak_v with_o strange_a tongue_n 2._o in_o so_o much_o that_o every_o man_n marvel_v to_o hear_v his_o own_o speech_n and_o language_n both_o mede_n persian_n and_o they_o of_o mesopotamia_n yet_o say_v the_o people_n these_o man_n be_v full_a of_o new_a wine_n and_o this_o be_v too_o little_a honour_n therefore_o if_o the_o preacher_n be_v too_o much_o honour_v then_o be_v god_n dishonour_v if_o he_o be_v despise_v and_o nothing_o set_v by_o then_o be_v christ_n himself_o despise_v and_o not_o regard_v they_o that_o say_v christ_n be_v a_o carpenter_n son_n a_o man_n unlearned_a and_o such_o a_o one_o as_o never_o go_v to_o school_v they_o that_o say_v the_o apostle_n of_o christ_n be_v full_a of_o new_a wine_n speak_v not_o this_o of_o any_o private_a malice_n or_o hatred_n that_o they_o bear_v either_o unto_o christ_n or_o his_o apostle_n but_o only_o to_o bring_v god_n word_n to_o shame_n only_o to_o bring_v christ_n holy_a gospel_n out_o of_o credit_n with_o the_o people_n this_o be_v their_o intent_n and_o purpose_n and_o nothing_o else_o therefore_o saint_n paul_n in_o this_o place_n show_v the_o corinthian_n how_o they_o shall_v estéem_v the_o teacher_n of_o god_n holy_a word_n how_o they_o shall_v think_v and_o judge_v of_o they_o for_o the_o people_n sometime_o esteem_v most_o a_o policicke_a man_n such_o a_o man_n as_o by_o his_o great_a wit_n be_v able_a to_o conclude_v peace_n and_o league_n between_o prince_n they_o regard_v he_o that_o be_v of_o stout_a courage_n and_o learned_a in_o the_o law_n they_o set_v most_o by_o he_o that_o be_v eloquent_a and_o able_a to_o persuade_v yea_o and_o they_o regard_v he_o not_o that_o be_v not_o excellent_o learn_v and_o see_v in_o all_o science_n but_o here_o saint_n paul_n show_v they_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o esteem_v the_o preacher_n of_o god_n gospel_n as_o man_n politic_a as_o man_n of_o great_a wit_n as_o man_n of_o stout_a courage_n and_o learned_a in_o the_o law_n as_o man_n eloquent_a and_o excellent_o well_o see_v in_o science_n but_o as_o the_o minister_n of_o christ_n and_o steward_n of_o the_o
