with_o these_o gift_n and_o according_a to_o their_o several_a qualification_n with_o these_o endowment_n they_o all_o receive_v they_o from_o god_n as_o steward_n second_o if_o we_o consider_v what_o god_n expect_v from_o man_n he_o expect_v one_o that_o which_o a_o lord_n do_v from_o his_o steward_n first_o that_o they_o acknowledge_v he_o to_o be_v the_o chief_a to_o acknowledge_v that_o they_o hold_v all_o from_o he_o that_o they_o have_v it_o not_o from_o themselves_o or_o for_o themselves_o this_o be_v that_o which_o every_o master_n expect_v from_o he_o to_o who_o he_o commit_v his_o treasure_n and_o this_o will_v god_n have_v all_o man_n do_v god_n speak_v that_o true_o that_o benhadad_n speak_v proud_o and_o false_o to_o the_o king_n of_o israel_n thy_o silver_n be_v i_o and_o
