diligence_n when_o there_o be_v the_o worst_a weather_n in_o the_o church_n as_o the_o ox_n be_v profitable_a both_o in_o his_o life_n and_o death_n so_o let_v every_o faithful_a and_o able_a minister_n of_o christ_n be_v serviceable_a to_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n not_o only_o by_o his_o preach_n but_o also_o write_n again_o as_o the_o ground_n which_o the_o ox_n blow_v not_o bring_v

of_o the_o gospel_n preach_v do_v not_o come_v that_o have_v no_o teach_v priest_n no_o ministerial_a ox_n to_o break_v up_o the_o fallow_a ground_n be_v overgrow_v with_o the_o weed_n and_o rubbish_n
