in_o this_o world_n will_v be_v much_o more_o a_o valuable_a good_a unto_o the_o christian_a church_n and_o unto_o this_o or_o that_o church_n in_o particular_a that_o have_v enjoy_v and_o may_v

he_o shall_v be_v continue_v yet_o long_o some_o time_n long_o for_o common_a good_a in_o this_o world_n and_o it_o be_v a_o most_o noble_a piece_n of_o self-denial_n that_o be_v exercise_v herein_o

but_o as_o to_o himself_o for_o what_o he_o esteem_v and_o desire_v according_o as_o his_o best_a and_o most_o valuable_a good_a he_o be_v in_o no_o hesitation_n or_o doubt_n concern_v that_o but_o

appropriate_a to_o he_o or_o to_o exclude_v the_o generality_n of_o serious_a and_o live_a christian_n because_o it_o be_v upon_o one_o account_n principal_o common_a to_o minister_n and_o to_o
