that_o if_o the_o minister_n that_o we_o be_v plead_v for_o be_v lay_v aside_o there_o be_v not_o competent_a man_n enough_o to_o supply_v their_o room_n and_o equal_o to_o promote_v the_o salvation_n of_o the_o flock_n this_o be_v acknowldge_v by_o they_o who_o still_o give_v it_o as_o the_o reason_n why_o minister_n be_v not_o to_o be_v trust_v with_o the_o express_v of_o their_o desire_n in_o their_o own_o word_n nor_o so_o much_o as_o to_o choose_v which_o chapter_n to_o read_v as_o well_o as_o which_o text_n to_o preach_v on_o to_o their_o auditor_n because_o we_o shall_v have_v

of_o scripture_n to_o read_v be_v unlikely_a to_o afford_v a_o equal_a assistance_n to_o the_o salvation_n of_o the_o people_n instead_o of_o the_o labour_n of_o such_o as_o we_o be_v speak_v for_o
