a_o fault_n among_o hearer_n yet_o belove_v let_v it_o not_o be_v so_o among_o you_o when_o you_o come_v hither_o pray_v unto_o the_o lord_n that_o he_o will_v stir_v up_o your_o dull_a mind_n by_o

up_o into_o a_o perfect_a man_n in_o christ_n jesus_n the_o second_o thing_n which_o i_o note_n be_v the_o apostle_n fatherly_a affection_n towards_o the_o philippian_n for_o in_o that_o he_o say_v that_o he_o desire_v not_o a_o gift_n but_o the_o fruit_n which_o may_v further_o etc._n etc._n he_o show_v that_o as_o father_n in_o their_o tender_a affection_n towards_o their_o child_n desire_v

and_o good_a in_o the_o day_n of_o christ_n jesus_n whence_o i_o observe_v what_o a_o fatherly_a affection_n there_o ought_v to_o be_v in_o the_o pastor_n towards_o his_o people_n namely_o such_o as_o that_o he_o seek_v not_o they_o but_o they_o not_o his_o own_o profit_n but_o the_o profit_n of_o his_o people_n that_o they_o may_v be_v save_v thus_o our_o apostle_n often_o profess_v that_o he_o

where_o he_o tell_v the_o same_o corinth_n that_o he_o seek_v not_o they_o but_o they_o wherein_o he_o have_v leave_v a_o precedent_n for_o we_o that_o as_o he_o have_v do_v so_o we_o shall_v do_v also_o what_o then_o be_v not_o the_o pastor_n to_o labour_v with_o his_o people_n in_o the_o word_n and_o doctrine_n for_o their_o salvation_n and_o to_o desire_v nothing_o of_o they_o to_o look_v for_o nothing_o at_o their_o hand_n no_o not_o so_o for_o we_o hear_v the_o last_o day_n that_o where_o spiritual_a thing_n be_v sow_v there_o carnal_a thing_n be_v to_o be_v reap_v and_o that_o he_o that_o teach_v may_v as_o well_o require_v they_o of_o they_o that_o be_v teach_v in_o the_o word_n as_o the_o soldier_n may_v do_v his_o pay_n or_o the_o labourer_n his_o wage_n or_o he_o that_o

this_o sacred_a and_o holy_a function_n in_o any_o covetous_a or_o ambitious_a desire_n for_o worldly_a maintenance_n or_o promotion_n but_o in_o a_o holy_a desire_n to_o gain_v man_n unto_o the_o faith_n and_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n jesus_n so_o at_o no_o time_n be_v he_o so_o much_o to_o respect_v the_o gift_n and_o maintenance_n that_o he_o have_v by_o his_o people_n as_o the_o salvation_n of_o his_o people_n in_o the_o day_n of_o christ_n jesus_n in_o a_o place_n therefore_o where_o his_o live_n be_v allot_v and_o his_o maintenance_n set_v the_o benefit_n of_o his_o live_n shall_v not_o so_o much_o rejoice_v he_o as_o to_o see_v his_o people_n offer_v their_o duty_n willing_o and_o give_v they_o cheerful_o for_o that_o this_o be_v a_o token_n of_o their_o growth_n in_o
