ignorance_n and_o with_o the_o wicked_a infection_n of_o pride_n envy_n wrath_n covetousness_n and_o all_o sin_n every_o vice_n upon_o occasion_n put_v itself_o into_o my_o sermon_n moreover_o if_o

they_o it_o have_v be_v better_a for_o i_o to_o have_v get_v my_o live_n by_o beg_v from_o door_n to_o door_n yea_o less_o have_v be_v my_o sin_n if_o i_o have_v live_v by_o steal_v and_o rob_v for_o he_o that_o be_v a_o minister_n and_o do_v not_o discharge_v his_o duty_n be_v a_o thief_n and_o a_o robber_n in_o the_o high_a degree_n because_o he_o rob_v god_n of_o his_o people_n and_o rob_v people_n of_o their_o salvation_n how_o be_v it_o possible_a for_o i_o to_o escape_v the_o vengeance_n of_o hell_n fire_n all_o you_o that_o purpose_v to_o be_v minister_n in_o the_o church_n for_o
