1._o objection_n but_o some_o may_v possible_o object_v yea_o but_o suppose_v a_o minister_n be_v sickly_a and_o weak_a and_o that_o preach_v be_v a_o enemy_n to_o his_o health_n be_v he_o bind_v to_o

this_o for_o there_o be_v but_o few_o minister_n which_o strain_v themselves_o beyond_o their_o strength_n we_o minister_n need_v not_o be_v tempt_v to_o spare_v ourselves_o we_o be_v too_o prone_a to_o that_o of_o our_o own_o accord_n objection_n 2._o objection_n again_o it_o may_v be_v object_v yea_o but_o a_o minister_n may_v possible_o be_v restrain_v from_o preach_v by_o authority_n how_o
