of_o that_o also_o the_o first_o use_v which_o i_o very_o hearty_o desire_v you_o to_o make_v of_o what_o have_v be_v say_v be_v to_o help_v we_o with_o your_o daily_a fervent_a prayer_n at_o the_o

a_o very_a lamentable_a thing_n to_o see_v in_o what_o extreme_n we_o be_v apt_a to_o lose_v both_o god_n and_o ourselves_o first_o because_o neither_o paul_n nor_o apollo_n be_v any_o thing_n without_o god_n or_o in_o comparison_n of_o god_n therefore_o some_o very_o rash_o conclude_v that_o they_o be_v nothing_o at_o all_o to_o they_o and_o that_o the_o ministry_n of_o such_o man_n be_v of_o no_o use_n in_o the_o church_n but_o all_o be_v to_o be_v teach_v of_o god_n only_o and_o it_o be_v true_a that_o our_o chief_a teacher_n be_v god_n himself_o but_o if_o we_o will_v be_v teach_v of_o he_o we_o must_v submit_v ourselves_o to_o be_v teach_v by_o he_o as_o it_o please_v he_o to_o teach_v we_o and_o not_o as_o we_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o be_v teach_v what_o though_o the_o very_o

a_o skilful_a workman_n i_o shall_v only_o desire_v one_o thing_n to_o be_v grant_v i_o by_o he_o that_o resolve_v to_o be_v teach_v of_o god_n alone_o without_o the_o ministry_n of_o man_n ordain_v to_o teach_v and_o i_o think_v it_o a_o very_a reasonable_a request_n that_o before_o he_o thus_o put_v it_o to_o the_o venture_n whether_o he_o shall_v be_v teach_v or_o no_o he_o be_v first_o very_o sure_a that_o god_n will_v as_o well_o as_o that_o he_o can_v so_o teach_v he_o or_o that_o he_o have_v not_o ordain_v the_o ministry_n of_o man_n in_o his_o church_n or_o that_o he_o will_v mere_o

the_o church_n and_o yet_o man_n be_v not_o so_o unreasonable_a or_o confident_a as_o to_o expect_v and_o rely_v upon_o a_o good_a harvest_n from_o god_n without_o the_o labour_n of_o the_o husbandman_n why_o then_o shall_v they_o expect_v the_o fruit_n of_o the_o spirit_n without_o the_o labour_n of_o the_o ministry_n till_o god_n give_v they_o some_o better_a assurance_n of_o it_o than_o yet_o he_o have_v do_v we_o must_v not_o indeed_o stint_v god_n power_n as_o though_o he_o can_v not_o work_v without_o this_o or_o that_o instrument_n and_o yet_o neither_o must_v we_o

the_o glory_n of_o magnify_v his_o strength_n in_o the_o weakness_n of_o man_n though_o he_o do_v not_o thereby_o disable_v god_n from_o work_v yet_o do_v he_o enough_o to_o provoke_v he_o not_o to_o

their_o religion_n in_o hear_v many_o sermon_n and_o when_o they_o have_v hear_v enough_o be_v apt_a to_o persuade_v themselves_o that_o they_o have_v serve_v god_n well_o enough_o they_o be_v wont_n to_o be_v very_o attentive_a with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o affection_n and_o it_o may_v be_v a_o great_a deal_n too_o much_o admiration_n to_o the_o preacher_n and_o to_o talk_v much_o of_o he_o and_o of_o his_o excellent_a sermon_n and_o yet_o all_o the_o while_n be_v as_o regardless_o of_o god_n and_o address_v as_o little_a to_o he_o for_o his_o blessing_n as_o though_o they_o have_v
