neither_o have_v the_o scripture_n give_v any_o such_o caution_n that_o if_o minister_n have_v good_a estate_n of_o their_o own_o than_o the_o people_n shall_v not_o give_v they_o the_o double_a

time_n thus_o i_o may_v speak_v for_o the_o necessity_n of_o art_n without_o which_o man_n can_v be_v sufficient_a minister_n all_o thing_n put_v together_o prove_v that_o he_o who_o will_v be_v a_o

be_v a_o minister_n indeed_o will_v say_v he_o find_v all_o little_a enough_o if_o it_o be_v no_o more_o to_o be_v a_o minister_n but_o to_o step_v off_o a_o shopboard_n and_o get_v into_o a_o
