of_o his_o brethren_n for_o he_o be_v i_o say_v so_o whole_o swallow_v up_o with_o the_o love_n of_o his_o master_n and_o his_o mind_n be_v so_o constant_o fix_v to_o do_v he_o honour_n and_o

shall_v aim_v to_o prosecute_v it_o in_o its_o full_a extent_n but_o i_o shall_v speak_v of_o it_o chief_o with_o respect_n to_o the_o matter_n in_o hand_n and_o only_o so_o far_o as_o may_v be_v

our_o modern_a dissenter_n that_o st._n paul_n be_v not_o eminent_o distinguish_v from_o almost_o all_o other_o minister_n of_o christ_n whatsoever_o not_o only_o for_o his_o extraordinary_a gift_n

and_o holiness_n of_o life_n and_o i_o question_n whether_o any_o mere_a man_n in_o the_o world_n ever_o arrive_v to_o such_o height_n of_o christian_a perfection_n in_o every_o respect_n as_o he_o
