with_o a_o sound_a authority_n by_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v as_o it_o be_v edge_v with_o the_o one_o the_o sweet_a entreaty_n and_o back_v with_o the_o other_o the_o

this_o conclusion_n iterate_v in_o the_o 14._o of_o the_o 4._o close_n up_o the_o whole_a argument_n the_o assumption_n follow_v in_o the_o 13._o of_o the_o 1._o whet_v as_o it_o be_v and_o point_v with_o nimble_a interrogation_n which_o all_o speak_v as_o spaniard_n in_o the_o language_n of_o pike_n with_o invincible_a power_n and_o unavoidable_a necessity_n that_o christ_n be_v the_o only_a one_o and_o undivided_a saviour_n but_o here_o the_o corinthian_n bar_v up_o the_o way_n with_o a_o objection_n which_o be_v insinuate_v in_o the_o 12._o verse_n and_o be_v but_o insinuate_v in_o the_o whole_a progress_n yet_o so_o that_o you_o may_v easy_o perceive_v that_o all_o paul_n pain_n in_o the_o four_o first_o chapter_n be_v spend_v in_o the_o remoovall_n of_o this_o rub_n the_o anticipation_n of_o this_o objection_n now_o this_o it_o be_v though_o there_o be_v but_o one_o christ_n one_o master_n yet_o there_o be_v many_o of_o christ_n minister_n and_o they_o have_v different_a gift_n one_o like_o paul_n simple_a perspicuity_n other_o apollo_n ample_a plenty_n a_o three_o cephas_n solid_a potency_n and_o therefore_o why_o may_v not_o i_o apply_v myself_o to_o paul_n i_o to_o apollo_n i_o to_o cephas_n this_o their_o discourse_n if_o you_o mark_v it_o be_v a_o discovery_n of_o all_o the_o cause_n of_o their_o disorder_n they_o be_v two_o the_o bewitch_a tongue_n of_o the_o teacher_n and_o the_o itch_a ear_n of_o the_o people_n the_o teacher_n arrogance_n the_o people_n ignorance_n the_o teacher_n faithless_a teacher_n woo_v for_o themselves_o instead_o of_o their_o lord_n the_o people_n foolish_a people_n fall_v in_o love_n with_o the_o man_n instead_o of_o the_o master_n the_o servant_n instead_o of_o the_o sovereign_a and_o therefore_o paul_n instruct_v they_o both_o the_o teacher_n what_o they_o shall_v do_v from_o the_o 14._o of_o the_o 1._o to_o the_o 5._o of_o the_o 3._o where_o embrace_v a_o occasion_n he_o sweet_o pass_v to_o the_o people_n what_o they_o shall_v do_v the_o people_n must_v not_o account_v too_o high_o of_o their_o minister_n for_o two_o reason_n 1._o they_o be_v but_o the_o lord_n servant_n they_o may_v well_o take_v up_o the_o emblem_n of_o a_o watering-pot_n drop_v with_o this_o word_n nil_fw-la mihi_fw-la praeterea_fw-la praeterea_fw-la mihi_fw-la nil_fw-la for_o paul_n may_v plant_v and_o apollo_n may_v water_v but_o it_o be_v the_o lord_n that_o give_v the_o increase_n and_o therefore_o they_o must_v not_o set_v up_o the_o labourer_n against_o the_o lord_n nay_o second_o the_o minister_n they_o be_v the_o corinthian_n servant_n in_o the_o lord_n for_o all_o thing_n be_v you_o whether_o paul_n or_o apollo_n or_o cephas_n or_o the_o world_n or_o life_n or_o death_n or_o thing_n present_a or_o thing_n to_o come_v all_o be_v you_o and_o you_o be_v christ_n and_o christ_n be_v go_n and_o therefore_o you_o must_v not_o make_v they_o lord_n of_o your_o faith_n and_o therefore_o let_v no_o man_n glory_n in_o man_n now_o for_o the_o minister_n duty_n it_o be_v not_o to_o seek_v themselves_o but_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o the_o good_a of_o the_o people_n and_o therefore_o not_o to_o preach_v themselves_o in_o quaint_a word_n and_o curious_a eloquence_n but_o to_o preach_v both_o for_o matter_n christ_n jesus_n and_o for_o manner_n with_o all_o plainness_n and_o without_o all_o affectation_n nothing_o but_o christ_n jesus_n with_o all_o humility_n and_o without_o all_o ostentation_n nothing_o but_o christ_n jesus_n crucify_v christ_n jesus_n must_v be_v the_o argument_n of_o their_o preach_n for_o in_o he_o god_n will_v be_v glorify_v christ_n jesus_n must_v be_v the_o ornament_n of_o their_o preach_n that_o he_o that_o glori_v may_v glory_v in_o

in_o a_o glass_n all_o this_o be_v represent_v for_o three_o reason_n 1._o for_o paul_n own_o sake_n to_o vindicate_v his_o integrity_n with_o the_o corinthian_n inveigle_v with_o their_o rabbinicall_a doctor_n and_o thence_o offend_v with_o paul_n simplicity_n begin_v to_o call_v in_o question_n as_o you_o may_v see_v 2._o for_o the_o doctor_n sake_n that_o if_o they_o will_v not_o
