ignorance_n and_o with_o the_o wicked_a infection_n of_o pride_n envy_n wrath_n covetousness_n and_o all_o sin_n every_o vice_n upon_o occasion_n put_v itself_o into_o my_o sermon_n moreover_o if_o i_o preach_v any_o thing_n according_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n i_o utter_o unpreach_v and_o deny_v it_o in_o my_o life_n and_o conversation_n alas_o how_o many_o soul_n may_v just_o challenge_v i_o before_o the_o face_n of_o jesus_n christ_n for_o give_v cause_n of_o their_o damnation_n i_o can_v say_v upon_o my_o conscience_n that_o in_o all_o this_o time_n wherein_o i_o have_v take_v upon_o i_o to_o be_v a_o minister_n i_o have_v do_v my_o duty_n so_o much_o as_o to_o the_o save_n of_o one_o soul_n a_o true_a minister_n of_o christ_n shall_v be_v a_o mean_n to_o turn_v all_o evil_a from_o his_o sheep_n and_o to_o procure_v all_o blessing_n unto_o they_o but_o i_o contrary_o have_v be_v a_o mean_n to_o turn_v blessing_n from_o they_o and_o to_o bring_v misery_n upon_o they_o it_o have_v be_v better_a for_o i_o to_o have_v get_v my_o live_n by_o beg_v from_o door_n to_o door_n yea_o less_o have_v be_v my_o sin_n if_o i_o have_v live_v by_o steal_v and_o rob_v for_o he_o that_o be_v a_o minister_n and_o do_v not_o discharge_v his_o duty_n be_v a_o thief_n and_o a_o robber_n in_o the_o high_a degree_n because_o he_o rob_v god_n of_o his_o people_n and_o rob_v people_n of_o their_o salvation_n how_o be_v it_o possible_a for_o i_o to_o escape_v the_o vengeance_n of_o hell_n fire_n all_o you_o that_o purpose_v to_o be_v minister_n in_o the_o church_n for_o
