A93732	Because that in the following discourse the reason is recited and answered, why my ministry is rejected and not received by this ignorant, but more especially corrupt world; therefore I thought it expedient and necessary to publish the same.

because_o there_o have_v be_v some_o ignorant_a people_n in_o the_o neighbourhood_n of_o the_o place_n of_o my_o nativity_n who_o do_v therefore_o refuse_v to_o hear_v that_o part_n of_o the_o word_n

then_o the_o reason_n of_o my_o choose_v this_o text_n to_o discourse_n on_o here_o be_v to_o this_o effect_n inasmuch_o as_o i_o have_v be_v a_o preacher_n unto_o the_o people_n of_o this_o my_o

3._o so_o the_o people_n of_o this_o nation_n have_v hear_v a_o certain_a kind_n of_o rumour_n or_o report_n that_o i_o have_v write_v and_o speak_v sundry_a thing_n in_o behalf_n of_o a_o papist_n and_o inasmuch_o as_o popery_n be_v not_o the_o truth_n as_o it_o be_v in_o jesus_n as_o indeed_o it_o be_v not_o which_o i_o do_v hereby_o acknowledge_v as_o much_o as_o themselves_o from_o hence_o
