6._o when_o other_o mean_n fail_v christ_n can_v use_v violent_a remedy_n and_o by_o plague_n put_v sinner_n from_o their_o course_n yea_o when_o he_o come_v to_o reform_v he_o may_v see_v it_o just_a to_o smite_v the_o very_a creature_n for_o sinner_n cause_n so_o be_v we_o here_o teach_v in_o that_o by_o force_n be_v drive_v they_o all_o out_o of_o the_o temple_n and_o the_o sheep_n and_o the_o ox_n 7._o our_o lord_n face_n be_v very_o terrible_a when_o he_o be_v angry_a even_o in_o his_o abasement_n and_o a_o weak_a mean_n of_o reformation_n in_o his_o hand_n and_o assist_v with_o his_o power_n and_o terror_n will_v serve_v the_o turn_n for_o when_o he_o have_v make_v a_o scourge_n of_o small_a cord_n more_o fit_a in_o appearance_n for_o affright_a child_n then_o for_o this_o work_n he_o drive_v they_o all_o out_o and_o none_o dare_v resist_v he_o 8._o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o all_o such_o as_o be_v employ_v in_o a_o work_n of_o reformation_n to_o testify_v their_o zeal_n and_o integrity_n by_o not_o mind_v or_o seek_v their_o own_o thing_n under_o pretext_n thereof_o so_o much_o do_v christ_n practice_n teach_v who_o pour_v out_o the_o changer_n money_n and_o

in_o again_o into_o the_o house_n of_o god_n in_o which_o case_n christ_n will_v deal_v more_o severe_o for_o christ_n have_v purge_v the_o temple_n in_o this_o first_o year_n of_o his_o ministry_n

over_o fault_n do_v to_o god_n house_n and_o bear_v with_o they_o yet_o christ_n will_v not_o but_o in_o due_a time_n will_v see_v to_o the_o redress_v of_o they_o as_o here_o we_o see_v in_o this_o
