the_o low_a pass_v up_o and_o ascend_v to_o the_o high_a for_o the_o high_a have_v herein_o divers_a advantage_n above_o the_o low_a towards_o a_o general_a discovery_n hereof_o we_o may_v take_v notice_n that_o christ_n jesus_n when_o he_o ascend_v up_o on_o high_a and_o receive_v from_o his_o father_n all_o power_n both_o in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n do_v undertake_v the_o build_n of_o his_o own_o church_n 12._o and_o for_o the_o perfect_a of_o this_o holy_a building_n he_o send_v down_o gift_n unto_o man_n etc._n by_o which_o they_o be_v make_v able_a and_o skilful_a builder_n and_o no_o doubt_n these_o be_v the_o best_a &_o most_o able_a teacher_n who_o christ_n the_o great_a lord_n of_o the_o building_n do_v enable_v to_o teach_v and_o to_o build_v by_o teach_v and_o indeed_o if_o christ_n have_v enable_v that_o number_n which_o he_o have_v depute_v for_o this_o building_n how_o can_v any_o man_n think_v that_o he_o be_v a_o fit_a and_o kindly_a builder_n except_o he_o be_v of_o that_o 2._o number_n who_o christ_n have_v thus_o enable_v the_o gift_n which_o christ_n give_v 12._o be_v those_o that_o shall_v perfect_v the_o saint_n fulfil_v the_o work_n of_o the_o ministry_n and_o edify_v the_o body_n of_o christ._n wherefore_o the_o giver_n of_o those_o gift_n be_v go_v up_o on_o high_a let_v man_n also_o lift_v up_o their_o eye_n on_o high_a for_o those_o gift_n and_o as_o the_o disciple_n stay_v in_o jerusalem_n until_o they_o be_v endue_v with_o the_o power_n of_o teach_v from_o on_o high_a so_o let_v man_n that_o stay_v in_o the_o low_a academy_n in_o their_o stay_n earnest_o seek_v to_o receive_v a_o power_n from_o on_o high_a let_v they_o not_o whole_o look_v downward_o as_o if_o from_o thence_o they_o can_v receive_v the_o gift_n that_o

this_o be_v a_o low_a kind_n of_o ability_n in_o teach_v see_v that_o which_o lend_v to_o this_o must_v needs_o be_v the_o high_a the_o borrower_n here_o also_o be_v a_o a_o servant_n and_o therefore_o inferior_a to_o the_o lender_n and_o it_o seem_v that_o not_o so_o much_o these_o as_o they_o that_o receive_v those_o gift_n from_o on_o high_a do_v build_v by_o these_o but_o those_o that_o receive_v gift_n from_o on_o high_a either_o take_v not_o all_o at_o the_o second_o hand_n but_o somewhat_o at_o the_o first_o or_o if_o they_o make_v use_v of_o thing_n former_o teach_v by_o the_o gift_n of_o other_o they_o do_v as_o it_o be_v quicken_v and_o enlive_v they_o by_o their_o own_o gift_n and_o so_o send_v they_o forth_o new_o animate_v by_o the_o same_o spirit_n which_o
