to_o know_v that_o as_o far_o as_o my_o understanding_n can_v reach_v there_o be_v without_o all_o doubt_v more_o difficulty_n in_o the_o perfect_a understanding_n of_o the_o gospel_n then_o that_o

so_o much_o more_o difficulty_n in_o the_o perfect_a understanding_n of_o the_o gospel_n then_o in_o the_o perfect_a understanding_n of_o s._n paul_n as_o i_o conceive_v the_o conception_n &_o apprehension_n of_o christ_n be_v more_o elevate_v and_o more_o divine_a than_o the_o conception_n and_o apprehension_n of_o s._n paul_n not_o deny_v but_o that_o to_o speak_v general_o and_o as_o much_o as_o concern_v the_o stile_n the_o gospel_n be_v more_o intelligible_a then_o s._n paul_n but_o of_o this_o matter_n i_o reserve_v myself_o to_o speak_v more_o at_o large_a when_o it_o shall_v please_v god_n that_o i_o come_v to_o translate_v the_o gospel_n now_o concern_v the_o translation_n i_o have_v be_v desirous_a to_o tie_v myself_o strict_o to_o the_o letter_n as_o much_o as_o

so_o as_o the_o letter_n may_v be_v apply_v both_o to_o the_o one_o and_o to_o the_o other_o sense_n and_o this_o i_o say_v for_o as_o much_o as_o intend_v the_o translation_n of_o s._n paul_n i_o may_v not_o pretend_v to_o write_v mâ—…e_v own_o conceit_n but_o those_o of_o s._n paul_n it_o be_v very_o true_a that_o in_o some_o place_n which_o seem_v necessary_a unto_o i_o i_o have_v add_v some_o small_a word_n in_o the_o text_n but_o of_o these_o some_o be_v understand_v in_o the_o greek_a text_n although_o they_o be_v not_o express_v and_o other_o seem_v of_o necessity_n to_o be_v

in_o this_o read_n so_o neither_o be_v it_o good_a that_o you_o shall_v too_o much_o trust_v upon_o your_o own_o judgement_n despise_v the_o judgement_n of_o other_o it_o be_v not_o good_a that_o
