world_n to_o his_o knowledge_n shall_v have_v use_v the_o sernice_a and_o ministry_n of_o prince_n nobleman_n great_a wealthy_a and_o rich_a man_n or_o of_o such_o as_o hadbene_v wise_a learned_a

be_v diminish_v therefore_o god_n to_o show_v his_o power_n in_o heavenly_a thing_n overthwart_v the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o world_n and_o choose_v his_o apostle_n poor_a unnoble_a simple_a unlerned_a without_o eloquence_n far_o from_o the_o cunning_a wisdom_n and_o policy_n of_o the_o world_n &_o by_o they_o and_o by_o their_o preach_n in_o few_o year_n win_v the_o whole_a world_n to_o his_o

conclude_v to_o this_o purpose_n forsooth_o that_o as_o christ_n think_v it_o fit_a to_o choose_v only_o poor_a man_n to_o his_o apostle_n and_o send_v they_o abroad_o without_o any_o stay_n of_o line_n in_o the_o world_n so_o he_o think_v it_o meet_a that_o his_o minister_n in_o his_o church_n in_o all_o time_n and_o place_n shall_v be_v in_o poor_a estate_n and_o not_o to_o have_v any_o wealth_n or_o riches_n it_o be_v good_a to_o consider_v this_o reason_n also_o that_o you_o be_v not_o more_o lead_v with_o it_o than_o the_o weight_n &_o force_n of_o it_o require_v the_o office_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v to_o go_v from_o country_n to_o country_n from_o place_n to_o place_n to_o plant_v church_n unto_o god_n so_o that_o they_o can_v not_o have_v any_o certain_a stay_n of_o live_v it_o be_v not_o therefore_o like_o reason_n that_o in_o a_o settle_a church_n where_o the_o gospel_n be_v receive_v the_o minister_n and_o preacher_n thereof_o may_v have_v no_o certain_a form_n of_o live_v appoint_v they_o either_o by_o land_n or_o otherwise_o as_o christ_n choose_v his_o apostle_n poor_a so_o he_o choose_v they_o simple_a and_o unlearned_a without_o eloquence_n or_o any_o kind_n of_o knowledge_n that_o his_o glory_n thereby_o may_v the_o more_o be_v set_v forth_o shall_v we_o therefore_o infer_v thereupon_o that_o it_o be_v fit_a always_o for_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o church_n to_o be_v simple_a without_o learning_n eloquence_n and_o knowledge_n it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o the_o anabaptist_n and_o some_o other_o phanaticall_a spirit_n trouble_v the_o reform_a church_n beyond_o the_o sea_n upon_o the_o same_o example_n of_o the_o apostle_n have_v gather_v that_o learning_n and_o knowledge_n be_v not_o to_o be_v respect_v in_o the_o choice_n of_o minister_n because_o god_n need_v no_o such_o help_n to_o set_v forth_o his_o gospel_n yea_o they_o say_v that_o learning_n and_o eloquence_n be_v perilous_a instrument_n to_o corrupt_v the_o simplicity_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o to_o give_v countenance_n to_o error_n wherefore_o such_o person_n do_v usual_o admit_v among_o they_o to_o the_o ministry_n handicraft_n man_n and_o such_o as_o challenge_v to_o themselves_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n only_o without_o further_a knowledge_n but_o the_o godly_a i_o doubt_v not_o understand_v that_o all_o thing_n neither_o can_v nor_o aught_o to_o be_v like_a in_o the_o state_n of_o the_o church_n beginning_n and_o under_o persecution_n and_o in_o the_o church_n settle_v and_o live_v in_o peace_n and_o quietness_n the_o minister_n and_o preacher_n of_o our_o church_n beside_o the_o example_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n live_v in_o poverty_n be_v will_v diligent_o to_o look_v into_o the_o perpetual_a doctrine_n which_o

that_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o church_n may_v not_o have_v any_o wealthy_a live_n and_o especial_o by_o land_n and_o lordship_n and_o therefore_o that_o our_o bishop_n be_v not_o the_o true_a follower_n of_o christ_n but_o walk_v in_o the_o step_n of_o antichrist_n sure_o our_o saviour_n christ_n do_v see_v that_o as_o the_o perpetual_a enemy_n of_o mankind_n do_v continual_o seek_v by_o all_o way_n to_o draw_v man_n from_o god_n so_o he_o do_v not_o use_v any_o mean_a more_o common_o then_o by_o honour_n glory_n riches_n and_o wealth_n and_o therefore_o when_o he_o see_v that_o christ_n can_v not_o by_o other_o temptation_n be_v overcome_v he_o assault_v he_o with_o ambition_n and_o desire_n of_o principality_n honour_n and_o lordship_n this_o temptation_n be_v therefore_o the_o more_o dangerous_a because_o man_n corrupt_a nature_n be_v of_o itself_o great_o incline_v to_o the_o love_n of_o the_o world_n &_o earthly_a pleasure_n wherefore_o i_o can_v deny_v but_o that_o our_o careful_a &_o love_a saviour_n do_v often_o &_o in_o many_o place_n warn_v his_o disciple_n and_o by_o they_o all_z we_o to_o beware_v of_o this_o work_n of_o satan_n and_o so_o much_o as_o they_o can_v to_o shun_v his_o snare_n but_o shall_v we_o think_v therefore_o that_o he_o condemn_v principality_n lordship_n dominion_n wealth_n riches_n land_n in_o they_o that_o be_v his_o true_a and_o faithful_a follower_n no_o sure_o for_o that_o be_v the_o full_a ground_n of_o the_o anabaptist_n doctrine_n to_o be_v shun_v of_o alright_a christian_n and_o yet_o before_o i_o begin_v to_o
