why_o we_o must_v take_v heed_n to_o our_o ministerial_a work_n be_v because_o it_o be_v a_o difficult_a work_n partly_o from_o the_o various_a and_o numerous_a enemy_n that_o oppose_v it_o satan_n that_o roar_a lion_n and_o restless_a enemy_n of_o the_o church_n stand_v at_o our_o right_a hand_n zech._n 3.1_o also_o what_o principality_n and_o power_n and_o spiritual_a wickednessess_v in_o

nothing_o less_o than_o to_o bring_v we_o back_o to_o abandon_v corruption_n in_o the_o house_n of_o god._n partly_o from_o our_o own_o ignorance_n the_o work_n be_v make_v difficult_a which_o disable_v we_o to_o manage_v this_o trust_n to_o the_o best_a advantage_n how_o hard_o be_v it_o for_o minister_n to_o speak_v aright_o to_o the_o various_a case_n and_o condition_n of_o their_o

that_o there_o have_v be_v minister_n in_o the_o church_n and_o we_o have_v have_v sad_a instance_n of_o it_o in_o our_o day_n profess_v &_o pretend_v high_o for_o christ_n and_o the_o pure_a work_n
