it_o be_v nothing_o less_o mean_v than_o that_o your_o good_n shall_v be_v at_o his_o pleasure_n or_o that_o you_o shall_v make_v he_o abound_v in_o superfluity_n wherewith_o he_o shall_v be_v fill_v

ought_v to_o pay_v tithe_n unto_o such_o minister_n as_o bewicked_a liver_n because_o we_o have_v speak_v only_o of_o the_o duty_n which_o they_o owe_v unto_o the_o true_a minister_n and_o faithful_a

let_v he_o have_v his_o duty_n that_o if_o it_o shall_v please_v the_o lord_n to_o convert_v he_o from_o his_o wickedness_n he_o may_v love_v you_o the_o more_o dear_o and_o have_v the_o more_o care_n

if_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o give_v he_o that_o grace_n yet_o thereby_o shall_v you_o leave_v a_o testimony_n in_o his_o conscience_n to_o his_o condemnation_n moreover_o where_o any_o such_o

he_o be_v a_o man_n but_o in_o that_o he_o be_v the_o messenger_n and_o minister_n of_o god_n four_o they_o must_v love_v he_o and_o that_o unfeigned_o with_o all_o their_o heart_n be_v ready_a to_o

that_o he_o may_v not_o with_o any_o worldly_a care_n be_v draw_v from_o do_v of_o his_o duty_n six_o they_o must_v pray_v for_o he_o continual_o and_o for_o themselves_o also_o that_o he_o may_v be_v
