preach_v to_o be_v exceed_a great_a but_o whether_o that_o preach_v exceed_v yea_o as_o you_o affirm_v far_o exceed_v write_v and_o the_o voice_n of_o man_n the_o book_n write_v by_o man_n will_v serious_o be_v consider_v for_o my_o part_n i_o can_v not_o but_o think_v your_o position_n diverse_a way_n to_o be_v unfound_a for_o though_o some_o preach_n exceed_v some_o writing_n yet_o shall_v

brass_n and_o be_v again_o contrary_a to_o yourself_o who_o confess_v contrariety_n afore_o that_o man_n be_v become_v like_o windy_a instrument_n ready_a to_o speak_v as_o soon_o as_o they_o receive_v breath_n though_o they_o give_v a_o harsh_a and_o uncertain_a sound_n which_o you_o can_v not_o affirm_v simple_o of_o writing_n for_o albeit_o some_o write_n like_o this_o your_o epistle_n be_v windy_a without_o substance_n and_o some_o be_v vain_a and_o erroneous_a yet_o all_o be_v not_o so_o and_o those_o write_n that_o be_v studious_o and_o according_a to_o the_o prescript_n rule_v

like_o windy_a instrument_n and_o give_v a_o harsh_a and_o uncertain_a ●ound_n or_o otherwise_o erroneous_a and_o as_o some_o preach_v be_v not_o better_a than_o all_o but_o far_o inferior_a to_o some_o writing_n so_o some_o writing_n be_v both_o equal_a to_o some_o some_o better_a than_o many_o some_o more_o excellent_a in_o some_o respect_n than_o all_o sermon_n and_o whatsoever_o proceed_v
