and_o beam_n but_o also_o stone_n for_o the_o foundation_n and_o it_o must_v have_v divers_a joint_n now_o if_o the_o lord_n place_v one_o for_o the_o foundation_n or_o cornerstone_n and_o use_v another_o about_o the_o building_n than_o we_o ought_v to_o learn_v to_o acknowledge_v the_o one_o the_o other_o every_o one_o according_a to_o his_o gift_n and_o not_o to_o despise_v or_o reject_v one_o another_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o unequal_a gift_n as_o be_v practise_v hitherto_o for_o a_o long_a time_n in_o babel_n but_o rather_o consider_v the_o good_a and_o benefit_n of_o the_o house_n and_o that_o the_o one_o juncture_n must_v not_o be_v as_o the_o other_o although_o it_o be_v all_o one_o within_o another_o and_o be_v together_o but_o one_o house_n 9_o to_o i_o it_o be_v give_v

it_o come_v from_o one_o spirit_n and_o all_o serve_v for_o the_o wonderful_a manifestation_n of_o god_n 10._o therefore_o if_o i_o shall_v speak_v with_o you_o out_o of_o my_o gift_n and_o show_v
