we_o grow_v and_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o need_n because_o of_o these_o pitch_v that_o be_v set_v we_o then_o it_o be_v not_o only_o a_o necessary_a but_o a_o honourable_a thing_n it_o be_v observe_v of_o the_o ancient_n for_o corporal_a stature_n and_o it_o be_v a_o good_a opinion_n of_o they_o homer_n always_o bring_v in_o his_o hero_n his_o worthy_n he_o present_v they_o in_o tall_a high_a stature_n hector_n and_o ulysses_n and_o agamemnon_n these_o that_o be_v prince_n man_n of_o renown_n he_o make_v they_o come_v in_o tall_a stature_n pliny_n say_v that_o tall_a stature_n use_v to_o be_v a_o portment_n fit_a for_o prince_n therefore_o augustus_n be_v commend_v for_o that_o and_z cornelius_z for_o the_o same_o and_o procopius_n concern_v beresebius_n and_o the_o scripture_n give_v the_o same_o commendation_n of_o joseph_n gen._n 39_o joseph_n be_v a_o goodly_a person_n and_o saul_n be_v high_a than_o all_o the_o people_n from_o the_o shoulder_n upward_o and_o herodotus_n

respect_n to_o the_o stature_n of_o the_o outward_a man_n how_o goodly_a be_v it_o to_o be_v so_o spiritual_o to_o god_n for_o corporal_a stature_n sometime_o be_v not_o a_o ornament_n for_o if_o the_o mind_n be_v not_o answerable_a it_o be_v rather_o a_o disgrace_n and_o it_o may_v be_v beyond_o those_o proportion_n that_o be_v require_v in_o decency_n of_o stature_n but_o we_o can_v exceed_v in_o the_o spiritual_a no_o measure_n can_v exceed_v therefore_o if_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n so_o honourable_a and_o so_o lovely_a with_o man_n and_o of_o god_n he_o that_o be_v so_o come_v near_o

the_o thessalonian_o that_o their_o faith_n do_v grow_v exceed_o and_o their_o love_n one_o towards_o another_o abound_v that_o be_v to_o grow_v from_o strength_n to_o strength_n i_o have_v do_v

it_o take_v away_o the_o objection_n from_o strength_n to_o strength_n but_o when_o shall_v we_o rest_v when_o we_o appear_v before_o god_n in_o zion_n there_o be_v the_o time_n of_o remuneration_n

before_o the_o judgement_n seat_n of_o christ_n but_o in_o collos_n 3._o when_o christ_n who_o be_v our_o life_n shall_v appear_v we_o shall_v appear_v with_o he_o in_o glory_n the_o fruition_n of_o

they_o when_o they_o lift_v up_o their_o eye_n when_o we_o lift_v up_o our_o eye_n to_o god_n it_o be_v a_o act_n of_o piety_n it_o be_v so_o and_o we_o must_v make_v it_o so_o there_o be_v good_a
