A93732	Because that in the following discourse the reason is recited and answered, why my ministry is rejected and not received by this ignorant, but more especially corrupt world; therefore I thought it expedient and necessary to publish the same.

of_o this_o sort_n be_v the_o text_n i_o have_v here_o choose_v which_o partly_o speak_v of_o thing_n present_v and_o partly_o of_o thing_n to_o come_v and_o they_o whether_o they_o will_v hear_v or_o

then_o the_o reason_n of_o my_o choose_v this_o text_n to_o discourse_n on_o here_o be_v to_o this_o effect_n inasmuch_o as_o i_o have_v be_v a_o preacher_n unto_o the_o people_n of_o this_o my_o

seem_a excuse_n so_o for_o their_o not_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n at_o my_o mouth_n there_o have_v be_v such_o a_o imagination_n in_o the_o mind_n of_o people_n to_o speak_v out_o those_o

3._o so_o the_o people_n of_o this_o nation_n have_v hear_v a_o certain_a kind_n of_o rumour_n or_o report_n that_o i_o have_v write_v and_o speak_v sundry_a thing_n in_o behalf_n of_o a_o papist_n and_o inasmuch_o as_o popery_n be_v not_o the_o truth_n as_o it_o be_v in_o jesus_n as_o indeed_o it_o be_v not_o which_o i_o do_v hereby_o acknowledge_v as_o much_o as_o themselves_o from_o hence_o they_o will_v fallacious_o and_o false_o reason_n and_o conclude_v that_o i_o have_v not_o teach_v nor_o yet_o as_o long_o as_o i_o retain_v these_o principle_n do_v i_o teach_v the_o way_n of_o god_n in_o truth_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o they_o turn_v their_o back_n and_o they_o refuse_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n preach_v by_o i_o if_o in_o all_o this_o i_o have_v not_o

the_o lord_n then_o those_o non_fw-la hearer_n be_v convince_v out_o of_o the_o law_n as_o transgressor_n for_o refusal_n or_o neglect_n to_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v sin_n and_o
