that_o wherewith_o many_o godly_a man_n among_o they_o be_v sore_o grieve_v &_o signify_v the_o sane_a unto_o the_o apostle_n by_o their_o letter_n and_o with_o all_o move_v diverse_a doubt_n whereof_o one_o be_v concern_v meat_n sacrifice_v to_o idol_n whereunto_o he_o answer_v in_o this_o chapter_n and_o in_o this_o order_n first_o he_o reprove_v they_o that_o upon_o a_o overween_a

convert_v unto_o christ_n out_o of_o these_o word_n if_o any_o man_n see_v thou_o we_o observe_v first_o that_o a_o christian_n aught_o to_o be_v well_o advise_v in_o the_o practice_n of_o thing_n indifferent_a who_o see_v he_o lest_o he_o shall_v offend_v his_o weak_a brother_n by_o the_o want_n of_o due_a consideration_n the_o reason_n whereof_o be_v this_o that_o if_o he_o omit_v this_o duty_n he_o bring_v a_o curse_n upon_o himself_o which_o be_v to_o heavy_a for_o all_o the_o world_n to_o bear_v as_o our_o saviour_n christ_n forewarn_v it_o can_v be_v avoid_v but_o that_o offence_n
