christ_n we_o preach_v warn_v every_o man_n and_o teach_v every_o man_n in_o all_o wisdom_n i._n e._n by_o a_o suitable_a apply_v of_o thing_n to_o they_o according_a to_o their_o various_a

any_o of_o they_o perish_v in_o a_o evil_a way_n through_o your_o neglect_n of_o duty_n towards_o they_o they_o die_v in_o their_o sin_n but_o god_n will_v require_v their_o blood_n at_o your_o hand_n we_o come_v now_o to_o the_o last_o thing_n that_o lie_v before_o we_o viz._n the_o duty_n of_o the_o people_n towards_o their_o pastor_n able_a and_o faithful_a pastor_n be_v a_o great_a blessing_n

pastor_n great_a love_n respect_n and_o honour_n for_o his_o work-sake_n and_o god_n require_v that_o you_o make_v a_o due_a payment_n thereof_o this_o our_o apostle_n often_o press_v with_o great_a

you_o and_o be_v over_o you_o in_o the_o lord_n and_o admonish_v you_o and_o to_o esteem_v they_o very_o high_o in_o love_n for_o their_o work-sake_n and_o again_o let_v the_o elder_n that_o rule_v well_o be_v count_v worthy_a of_o double_a honour_n especial_o those_o that_o labour_n in_o the_o word_n and_o doctrine_n 1_o tim._n 5._o 17._o if_o you_o have_v a_o true_a friend_n in_o the_o world_n it_o be_v he_o that_o watch_v for_o your_o soul_n tell_v you_o the_o truth_n and_o travel_n

and_o confidence_n the_o power_n of_o the_o apostle_n extend_v to_o all_o the_o church_n and_o be_v equal_a in_o they_o all_o when_o they_o be_v plant_v and_o therefore_o paul_n say_v the_o care_n
