the_o life_n of_o one_o man_n but_o if_o they_o that_o be_v so_o seduce_v by_o ambition_n be_v emulous_a among_o themselves_o we_o must_v acknowledge_v the_o marvelous_a goodness_n of_o god_n who_o

as_o much_o as_o we_o may_v mark_v again_o this_o manner_n of_o speech_n of_o the_o defence_n of_o the_o gospel_n for_o since_o christ_n vouchsafe_v we_o such_o honour_n what_o excuse_n can_v we_o have_v if_o we_o be_v faint_a heart_a in_o his_o cause_n or_o what_o must_v we_o look_v for_o if_o we_o betray_v it_o by_o our_o silence_n but_o that_o in_o like_a manner_n he_o shall_v forsake_v our_o cause_n who_o alone_o be_v our_o advocate_n and_o patron_n with_o god_n his_o father_n 18_o what_o then_o yet_o all_o manner_n of_o way_n whether_o under_o pretence_n or_o true_o christ_n be_v preach_v and_o in_o this_o i_o rejoice_v and_o will_v rejoice_v 19_o for_o i_o know_v that_o this_o shall_v turn_v to_o my_o salvation_n through_o your_o prayer_n and_o by_o the_o help_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o jesus_n christ_n 20_o according_a to_o my_o expectation_n and_o hope_v that_o in_o nothing_o i_o shall_v be_v ashamed_a but_o with_o all_o confidence_n as_o always_o so_o now_o christ_n shall_v be_v magnify_v in_o my_o body_n whether_o it_o be_v by_o life_n or_o death_n 21_o for_o christ_n be_v to_o i_o both_o in_o life_n and_o in_o death_n advantage_n 18_o yet_o all_o manner_n of_o way_n because_o the_o wicked_a mind_n of_o they_o of_o who_o he_o speak_v may_v slander_v the_o grace_n of_o the_o doctrine_n he_o say_v that_o this_o be_v great_o to_o be_v esteem_v because_o that_o

therefore_o he_o say_v he_o rejoice_v for_o such_o success_n because_o he_o be_v content_v with_o this_o only_a to_o see_v the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n increase_n as_o when_o we_o do_v hear_v that_o the_o unclean_a dog_n charles_n at_o auenion_n and_o in_o other_o place_n do_v sow_v the_o seed_n of_o pure_a doctrine_n in_o many_o man_n heart_n we_o give_v thanks_n unto_o god_n who_o use_v this_o

other_o purpose_n but_o although_o paul_n do_v rejoice_v for_o the_o increase_n of_o the_o gospel_n yet_o will_v he_o never_o have_v ordain_v such_o minister_n if_o it_o have_v be_v in_o his_o power_n we_o must_v therefore_o rejoice_v if_o by_o the_o ungodly_a god_n work_v any_o good_a yet_o we_o must_v neither_o place_v such_o in_o the_o ministry_n nor_o account_v they_o for_o the_o lawful_a minister_n of_o christ_n 19_o for_o i_o know_v because_o some_o do_v publish_v the_o gospel_n to_o procure_v envy_n unto_o paul_n that_o they_o may_v the_o more_o incense_v the_o cruelty_n of_o his_o

and_o because_o he_o know_v that_o he_o speak_v unto_o they_o that_o be_v obedient_a and_o easy_a to_o be_v teach_v so_o the_o pastor_n must_v not_o refuse_v to_o take_v upon_o he_o any_o person_n for_o the_o church_n sake_n 2_o fulfil_v my_o joy_n and_o here_o we_o may_v perceive_v how_o little_a careful_a he_o be_v for_o himself_o so_o that_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n be_v in_o good_a

point_n of_o our_o joy_n be_v the_o remembrance_n of_o jerusalem_n and_o if_o that_o be_v the_o fullness_n of_o paul_n his_o joy_n the_o philippian_n have_v be_v more_o than_o cruel_a if_o by_o

this_o that_o in_o their_o opinion_n &_o their_o will_n they_o shall_v consent_v for_o he_o set_v down_o consent_n in_o doctrine_n and_o mutual_a love_n then_o repeat_v the_o same_o thing_n in_o my_o

into_o a_o mutual_a love_n although_o it_o be_v not_o absurd_a to_o translate_v it_o thus_o that_o you_o shall_v be_v of_o the_o same_o cogitation_n to_o have_v mutual_a love_n to_o be_v of_o one_o mind_n and_o to_o think_v the_o same_o thing_n for_o the_o participle_n be_v many_o time_n use_v for_o the_o infinitive_n mood_n yet_o i_o have_v follow_v that_o sense_n which_o seem_v to_o be_v less_o strain_v 3_o that_o nothing_o be_v do_v through_o contention_n these_o two_o be_v most_o hurtful_a plague_n to_o trouble_v the_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n contention_n arise_v while_o every_o
