brethren_n be_v faithful_a minister_n of_o christ_n due_o call_v and_o commissionated_a by_o christ_n but_o his_o bare_a word_n which_o be_v of_o little_a esteem_n with_o many_o and_o it_o be_v

brethren_n who_o book_n be_v extant_a in_o the_o world_n in_o which_o these_o thing_n be_v thorough_o treat_v of_o have_v full_o prove_v these_o thing_n which_o may_v be_v see_v by_o such_o as_o
