god_n in_o that_o so_o very_a few_o be_v convert_v by_o it_o and_o do_v obey_v it_o that_o you_o who_o do_v believe_v and_o obey_v to_o the_o save_n of_o your_o soul_n be_v not_o soon_o shake_v in_o

record_n of_o himself_o that_o after_o the_o manner_n of_o man_n he_o have_v fight_v with_o beast_n at_o ephesus_n so_o both_o in_o the_o beginning_n entrance_n and_o course_n of_o our_o ministry_n which_o be_v more_o advance_v and_o carry_v on_o by_o write_v print_v and_o publish_v then_o by_o speak_v with_o a_o live_a voice_n for_o whereas_o the_o voice_n perish_v in_o the_o utterance_n and_o

of_o our_o ministry_n we_o have_v meet_v with_o scoffer_n who_o with_o their_o several_a kind_n of_o say_n do_v endeavour_n either_o to_o turn_v we_o aside_o from_o our_o intend_a ministry_n or_o to_o
