notwithstanding_o he_o be_v the_o most_o backward_o for_o to_o leave_v all_o for_o christ_n on_o the_o other_o side_n the_o poor_a receive_v the_o gospel_n and_o as_o the_o poor_a do_v receive_v the_o

regard_n of_o ability_n many_o that_o be_v first_o in_o regard_n of_o ability_n shall_v be_v last_o in_o suffer_v for_o christ_n and_o many_o that_o be_v last_o in_o ability_n shall_v be_v first_o in_o suffer_v for_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n christ_n many_o that_o be_v first_o in_o ability_n so_o the_o disciple_n when_o christ_n say_v to_o they_o be_v you_o able_a to_o drink_v of_o the_o cup_n

of_o weak_a woman_n cleave_v unto_o christ_n and_o follow_v he_o to_o the_o very_a last_o the_o first_o be_v last_o and_o the_o last_o be_v first_o and_o look_v into_o the_o book_n of_o martyr_n where_o do_v you_o find_v the_o martyr_n grow_v do_v you_o find_v they_o grow_v upon_o university_n few_o be_v scholar_n and_o doctor_n that_o be_v martyr_n but_o grow_v in_o country-town_n and_o

a_o instance_n in_o the_o parable_n of_o the_o stony_a ground_n it_o receive_v the_o word_n with_o joy_n yet_o notwithstanding_o when_o tribulation_n and_o persecution_n arise_v because_o of_o the_o

know_v the_o story_n there_o that_o go_v together_o a_o certain_a man_n come_v to_o christ_n and_o say_v lord_n i_o will_v follow_v thou_o whithersoever_o thou_o go_v say_v christ_n the_o fox_n have_v

in_o point_n of_o resolution_n many_o that_o be_v first_o in_o resolve_v to_o suffer_v shall_v be_v last_o to_o suffer_v when_o it_o come_v to_o and_o many_o that_o be_v last_o in_o resolve_v shall_v

that_o many_o that_o be_v first_o in_o the_o work_n of_o suffering_n shall_v be_v last_o in_o the_o reward_n and_o many_o that_o be_v last_o in_o the_o work_n of_o suffering_n shall_v be_v first_o in_o the_o reward_n 1_o cor._n 13._o 3._o though_o i_o give_v all_o my_o good_n to_o feed_v the_o poor_a and_o though_o i_o give_v my_o body_n to_o be_v burn_v and_o have_v not_o charity_n it_o

that_o but_o then_o in_o the_o four_o place_n what_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o this_o and_o how_o come_v this_o to_o pass_v that_o many_o that_o â—re_n first_o shall_v be_v last_o and_o many_o that_o
