further_o we_o be_v here_o to_o learn_v when_o god_n shall_v call_v we_o to_o the_o ministry_n of_o his_o word_n in_o his_o church_n that_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o come_v negligent_o to_o speak_v of_o

of_o jacob_n and_o he_o shall_v teach_v we_o his_o wayeâ—_n and_o we_o will_v walk_v in_o his_o path_n 10.29_o so_o apostle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n show_v that_o it_o become_v the_o child_n of_o god_n to_o stir_v up_o one_o a_o other_o to_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n whereunto_o he_o apply_v that_o sentence_n comfort_v one_o a_o other_o and_o strengthen_v the_o weak_a knee_n which_o be_v speak_v of_o in_o the_o prophet_n esaye_n to_o all_o the_o faithful_a 35.3_o so_o that_o we_o may_v not_o rest_v in_o ourselves_o if_o we_o be_v in_o company_n and_o hear_v and_o see_v the_o lord_n name_v abuse_v or_o our_o brethren_n and_o companion_n abuse_v themselves_o in_o any_o sort_n but_o that_o in_o a_o christian_a and_o godly_a manner_n we_o ought_v to_o admonish_v they_o if_o not_o open_o yet_o at_o
