hereafter_o as_o it_o be_v meet_v in_o these_o word_n paul_n show_v that_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o give_v thanks_o unto_o god_n not_o only_a when_o he_o do_v power_n on_o we_o good_a thing_n but_o also_o when_o we_o call_v to_o mind_v his_o benefit_n bestow_v on_o our_o brethren_n for_o whersoever_o we_o do_v see_v the_o goodness_n of_o god_n to_o shine_v we_o be_v bind_v to_o give_v thanks_n for_o the_o same_o furthermore_o the_o save_a health_n of_o our_o brethren_n ought_v to_o be_v so_o dear_a unto_o we_o that_o whatsoever_o be_v give_v unto_o they_o we_o ought_v to_o take_v it_o as_o bestow_v on_o ourselves_o moreover_o if_o we_o do_v consider_v the_o holy_a unity_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n such_o mutual_a communion_n and_o fellowship_n shall_v be_v among_o we_o that_o we_o will_v reckon_v the_o benefit_n of_o one_o member_n to_o be_v the_o benefit_n &_o gain_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n therefore_o in_o praise_v the_o benefit_n of_o god_n we_o must_v always_o have_v respect_n unto_o the_o universality_n of_o the_o church_n because_o that_o your_o faith_n grow_v exceed_o here_o be_v repeat_v the_o principal_a point_n of_o our_o religion_n as_o faith_n charity_n and_o sufferance_n but_o not_o without_o cause_n for_o because_o in_o the_o former_a epistle_n he_o have_v praise_v the_o faith_n and_o charity_n of_o the_o thessalonian_o now_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o increase_n of_o they_o both_o and_o in_o very_a deed_n it_o be_v convenient_a for_o all_o the_o godly_a to_o observe_v this_o order_n that_o they_o daily_o make_v a_o trial_n and_o examination_n of_o themselves_o how_o much_o they_o have_v profit_v this_o therefore_o be_v the_o true_a praise_n of_o the_o faithful_a if_o they_o grow_v and_o increase_v daily_o more_o and_o more_o in_o faith_n and_o in_o charity_n moreover_o first_o he_o give_v thanks_n unto_o god_n for_o they_o now_o he_o say_v there_o be_v cause_n why_o he_o shall_v again_o give_v thanks_n for_o their_o daily_o profit_v and_o when_o he_o give_v thanks_n unto_o god_n for_o their_o profit_v he_o do_v thereby_o signify_v and_o declare_v that_o as_o well_o the_o increase_n as_o the_o begin_n of_o faith_n and_o love_n come_v from_o god_n for_o if_o these_o spring_v from_o the_o virtue_n that_o be_v in_o man_n the_o give_v of_o thanks_n shall_v be_v feign_v or_o else_o for_o nothing_o give_v three_o cause_n of_o

bigness_n but_o do_v first_o spring_n then_o shout_v up_o in_o tallness_n and_o at_o the_o last_o come_v to_o a_o full_a growth_n of_o a_o tree_n even_o so_o faith_n have_v her_o degree_n and_o be_v not_o at_o the_o first_o begin_n full_o perfect_v but_o seek_v and_o desire_v to_o increase_v itself_o daily_o more_o and_o more_o and_o that_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o this_o place_n of_o paul_n 1.17_o rom._n 1.17_o where_o he_o say_v from_o faith_n to_o faith_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o the_o same_o in_o the_o first_o beginning_n do_v not_o decay_v but_o rather_o that_o it_o be_v

the_o love_n of_o himself_o for_o as_o it_o appear_v by_o the_o prophet_n he_o do_v prefer_v the_o defence_n and_o help_v of_o the_o widow_n the_o fatherless_a and_o the_o oppress_a before_o the_o

these_o word_n we_o our_o self_n rejoice_v of_o you_o in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o paul_n do_v not_o ambitious_o boast_v of_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o thessalonian_o but_o set_v they_o forth_o as_o a_o provocation_n to_o make_v other_o the_o more_o earnest_a to_o imitate_v they_o in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n in_o that_o he_o call_v they_o not_o his_o church_n but_o the_o church_n of_o god_n it_o declare_v his_o humility_n &_o faithfulness_n for_o they_o be_v false_a and_o untrustie_a who_o whenas_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v the_o servant_n of_o god_n and_o the_o minister_n of_o church_n desire_v to_o be_v call_v lord_n and_o do_v usurp_v authority_n over_o other_o man_n servant_n because_o of_o your_o patience_n the_o three_o and_o last_o cause_n of_o give_v thanks_o be_v their_o patience_n but_o the_o apostle_n say_v not_o that_o he_o do_v rejoice_v because_o of_o the_o faith_n and_o love_n of_o the_o thessalonian_o but_o of_o their_o patience_n and_o faith_n whereupon_o it_o follow_v that_o patience_n be_v the_o fruit_n and_o testimony_n of_o faith_n therefore_o these_o word_n ought_v to_o be_v resolve_v thus_o we_o rejoice_v of_o the_o patience_n which_o come_v of_o faith_n and_o do_v testify_v the_o faith_n excel_v in_o you_o otherwise_o the_o text_n shall_v not_o agree_v and_o in_o very_a deed_n there_o be_v nothing_o that_o do_v hold_v we_o up_o more_o in_o tribulation_n then_o do_v faith_n the_o which_o do_v hereby_o evident_o enough_o appear_v because_o so_o soon_o as_o we_o forget_v the_o promise_n of_o god_n we_o fall_v flat_a to_o the_o ground_n therefore_o the_o more_o that_o a_o man_n do_v grow_v in_o faith_n the_o more_fw-it he_o be_v arm_v through_o patience_n stout_o to_o endure_v all_o thing_n even_o as_o on_o the_o contrary_a

faith_n will_v show_v itself_o therefore_o that_o rejoice_v of_o the_o apostle_n paul_n be_v no_o proud_a or_o vain_a boast_n but_o godly_a piety_n by_o which_o he_o do_v exalt_v and_o advance_v with_o condign_a praise_n
