it_o be_v with_o those_o who_o be_v able_a minister_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n they_o be_v that_o to_o the_o body_n mystical_a the_o church_n which_o the_o eye_n be_v to_o the_o body_n natural_a they_o be_v our_o spiritual_a guide_n unto_o salvation_n not_o only_o mercurial_a statue_n point_v the_o way_n to_o other_o and_o stand_v still_o themselves_o but_o like_o the_o star_n that_o do_v not_o only_o lighten_v but_o lead_v the_o wiseman_n of_o the_o east_n till_o they_o come_v to_o the_o child_n jesus_n and_o if_o we_o be_v light_n indeed_o we_o shall_v not_o think_v it_o enough_o that_o we_o have_v lamp_n unless_o we_o have_v oil_n in_o our_o lamp_n nor_o that_o we_o have_v oil_n in_o they_o unless_o they_o be_v burn_v and_o shine_v so_o as_o to_o give_v light_n unto_o other_o by_o our_o holy_a life_n and_o doctrine_n bring_v thereby_o glory_n to_o god_n credit_n to_o religion_n salvation_n to_o our_o own_o soul_n and_o they_o that_o hear_v we_o we_o be_v not_o only_o to_o
