purity_n and_o alacrity_n for_o these_o be_v the_o property_n of_o angel_n the_o second_o thing_n that_o i_o tell_v you_o ii_o this_o title_n or_o appellation_n point_v at_o be_v the_o dignity_n of_o our_o call_n the_o ministry_n as_o the_o world_n go_v now_o a_o day_n be_v a_o profession_n that_o be_v more_o subject_a to_o contempt_n and_o vile_a usage_n than_o any_o call_n whatsoever_o and_o therefore_o the_o lord_n that_o he_o may_v meet_v the_o better_a with_o those_o base_a conceit_n the_o worldling_n have_v of_o his_o servant_n and_o the_o more_o to_o advance_v the_o honour_n of_o

brethren_n deal_v not_o so_o foolish_o as_o to_o say_v or_o think_v it_o of_o thy_o minister_n that_o he_o be_v but_o a_o base_a pedantical_a fellow_n or_o a_o poor_a bell_v priest_n for_o i_o tell_v you_o of_o a_o truth_n the_o lord_n will_v not_o suffer_v these_o flout_n and_o scoff_v to_o go_v unrevenged_a and_o the_o more_o his_o minister_n be_v scorn_v of_o worldling_n the_o more_o honour_n he_o look_n shall_v be_v put_v upon_o they_o by_o you_o that_o be_v his_o servant_n according_a to_o his_o own_o example_n and_o therefore_o howsoever_o the_o world_n think_v of_o we_o yet_o do_v
