a_o minister_n if_o it_o shall_v fall_v out_o with_o his_o spiritual_a work_n as_o tobias_n the_o ammonite_n say_v in_o scorn_n of_o the_o re-edify_v city_n and_o temple_n by_o the_o jew_n ●_o although_o they_o build_v yet_o if_o a_o fox_n go_v up_o he_o shall_v even_o break_v down_o their_o stony_a wall_n so_o i_o say_v it_o shall_v be_v a_o blemish_n to_o a_o teacher_n in_o god_n church_n

50.4_o the_o prophet_n i_o say_v say_v that_o the_o lord_n have_v give_v he_o a_o tongue_n of_o the_o learned_a for_o the_o one_o piece_n of_o service_n that_o he_o may_v know_v to_o minister_v a_o
