wherewith_o god_n vouchsafe_v we_o when_o we_o suffer_v persecution_n for_o his_o truth_n neither_o in_o vain_a be_v it_o say_v blessed_n shall_v you_o be_v when_o man_n shall_v all_o manner_n of_o

of_o god_n be_v with_o a_o cheerful_a and_o thankful_a mind_n to_o be_v embrace_v of_o us._n to_o his_o band_n he_o add_v the_o defence_n and_o confirmation_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o he_o may_v

god_n but_o some_o man_n will_v ask_v here_o whether_o the_o confirmation_n of_o the_o gospel_n depend_v upon_o the_o constancy_n of_o man_n i_o answer_v that_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n be_v strong_a of_o itself_o than_o that_o it_o need_v any_o other_o way_n to_o be_v uphold_v for_o we_o all_o be_v liar_n yet_o god_n remain_v true_a yet_o it_o be_v not_o absurd_a that_o weak_a conscience_n by_o

towards_o they_o for_o proof_n whereof_o he_o add_v a_o oath_n and_o that_o just_o because_o we_o know_v how_o dear_a the_o build_n up_o of_o the_o church_n be_v unto_o god_n it_o be_v very_o

when_o the_o people_n be_v persuade_v that_o they_o be_v belove_v of_o their_o teacher_n he_o call_v god_n to_o be_v a_o witness_n of_o the_o truth_n who_o alone_o be_v truth_n and_o to_o be_v a_o

time_n change_v his_o mind_n in_o the_o mean_a season_n he_o admonish_v by_o what_o rule_n the_o affection_n of_o the_o faithful_a shall_v be_v examine_v namely_o that_o forsake_v their_o own_o will_n they_o shall_v suffer_v christ_n to_o govern_v they_o and_o certain_o true_a love_n can_v not_o proceed_v from_o any_o other_o thing_n than_o from_o the_o bowel_n of_o christ_n and_o this_o prick_n shall_v not_o light_o touch_v we_o that_o christ_n do_v after_o a_o sort_n open_v his_o bowel_n whereby_o he_o may_v cherish_v mutual_a love_n amongst_o us._n 9_o this_o i_o pray_v that_o your_o

which_o he_o beséech_v of_o god_n for_o they_o that_o they_o themselves_o also_o by_o his_o example_n may_v learn_v to_o pray_v and_o aspire_v to_o the_o increase_n of_o these_o gift_n whereas_o some_o do_v take_v the_o love_n of_o the_o philippian_n for_o the_o philippian_n themselves_o as_o common_o barbarous_a man_n be_v wont_v to_o speak_v save_v your_o reverence_n your_o worship_n it_o be_v absurd_a for_o neither_o be_v there_o any_o such_o example_n extant_a in_o paul_n neither_o have_v such_o foolishness_n as_o yet_o come_v into_o custom_n beside_o the_o sentence_n shall_v not_o be_v full_a and_o otherwise_o the_o simple_a and_o natural_a meaning_n of_o the_o word_n do_v very_o well_o agree_v for_o the_o true_a increase_n of_o christian_n be_v when_o they_o go_v forward_o

all_o understanding_n be_v take_v for_o full_a and_o sound_o understand_v not_o for_o the_o understanding_n of_o all_o thing_n 10_o that_o you_o may_v allow_v the_o definition_n of_o christian_a wisdom_n be_v to_o know_v that_o that_o be_v to_o the_o purpose_n or_o profitable_a not_o to_o disquiet_v the_o wit_n in_o vain_a subtlety_n and_o speculation_n for_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o

〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d be_v of_o doubtful_a signification_n ghrysostome_n do_v expound_v it_o active_o that_o like_o as_o before_o god_n he_o will_v have_v we_o pure_a and_o innocent_a so_o now_o before_o

passive_a signification_n agree_v better_a with_o the_o text_n for_o to_o this_o end_n do_v he_o wish_v they_o wisdom_n that_o with_o blameless_a step_n they_o shall_v go_v forward_o in_o their_o

therefore_o brethren_n he_o shut_v up_o his_o exhortation_n with_o more_o vehement_a word_n than_o he_o be_v accustom_v that_o he_o may_v the_o more_o deep_o imprint_v it_o in_o man_n mind_n and_o

be_v refer_v to_o the_o former_a doctrine_n but_o that_o be_v more_o fit_a that_o by_o praise_v their_o present_a state_n he_o may_v exhort_v they_o to_o perseverance_n indeed_o they_o have_v already_o show_v some_o token_n of_o their_o constancy_n yet_o paul_n be_v privy_a unto_o man_n weakness_n think_v that_o they_o have_v need_n to_o be_v confirm_v for_o the_o time_n afterward_o 2._o i_o exhort_v euodia_n &_o syntiche_n it_o be_v a_o common_a opinion_n receive_v for_o the_o most_o part_n that_o paul_n will_v quiet_v i_o know_v not_o what_o grudge_n between_o these_o two_o woman_n touch_v which_o matter_n although_o i_o will_v not_o contend_v yet_o the_o conjecture_n in_o the_o word_n of_o paul_n be_v light_a than_o that_o it_o can_v persuade_v i_o that_o it_o be_v so_o it_o appear_v by_o the_o testimony_n which_o he_o give_v they_o that_o they_o be_v very_o wise_a woman_n for_o he_o attribute_v so_o much_o unto_o they_o that_o he_o call_v they_o fellow_n laborer_n in_o the_o gospel_n therefore_o because_o in_o their_o agreement_n there_o be_v much_o moment_n &_o in_o their_o discord_n great_a danger_n he_o encourage_v they_o peculiar_o unto_o concord_n we_o must_v mark_v also_o that_o so_o oft_o as_o he_o speak_v of_o consent_n he_o add_v this_o band_n in_o the_o lord_n for_o without_o the_o lord_n all_o agreement_n shall_v be_v accurse_v and_o there_o be_v nothing_o so_o dissever_v which_o must_v not_o in_o christ_n again_o be_v gather_v together_o yea_o and_o i_o beseech_v thou_o also_o faithful_a yoke-fellow_n i_o will_v not_o dispute_v of_o the_o

that_o it_o be_v a_o woman_n because_o mention_n be_v here_o make_v of_o woman_n as_o though_o he_o do_v not_o immediate_o add_v the_o name_n of_o clement_n in_o the_o same_o cause_n but_o i_o cease_v from_o that_o disputation_n only_o i_o deem_v that_o the_o wife_n of_o paul_n be_v signify_v under_o this_o name_n they_o that_o affirm_v this_o do_v cite_v clement_n and_o ignatius_n for_o the_o

by_o the_o unlearned_a munke_n they_o deserve_v but_o little_a credit_n with_o reader_n of_o sound_a judgement_n therefore_o let_v we_o inquire_v of_o the_o matter_n without_o the_o prejudice_n of_o man_n when_o paul_n write_v the_o first_o epistle_n to_o the_o corinthian_n he_o report_v that_o he_o then_o be_v unmarried_a 1._o cor._n 7.8_o to_o they_o he_o say_v that_o be_v unmarried_a and_o

neither_o be_o i_o ignorant_a what_o be_v wont_a to_o be_v object_v on_o the_o contrary_a part_n namely_o that_o paul_n be_v marriry_v do_v abstain_v from_o the_o company_n of_o his_o wife_n but_o

that_o it_o need_v no_o answer_n but_o now_o that_o we_o may_v grante_n that_o paul_n be_v marry_v whence_o have_v he_o a_o wife_n at_o philippos_n the_o which_o city_n it_o be_v not_o read_v that_o

than_o to_o speak_v here_o of_o a_o wife_n no_o nor_o of_o any_o woman_n in_o my_o judgement_n it_o be_v probable_a notwithstanding_o i_o leave_v it_o to_o the_o reader_n judgement_n the_o word_n
