preserve_v the_o peace_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n when_o they_o be_v to_o plant_v church_n how_o ready_a to_o go_v about_o it_o how_o diligent_a in_o attend_v it_o how_o watchful_a to_o prevent_v all_o miscarriage_n among_o they_o when_o they_o write_v epistle_n to_o those_o already_o plant_v with_o what_o authority_n do_v they_o teach_v c_o with_o what_o majesty_n do_v they_o command_v with_o what_o severity_n do_v they_o rebuke_v with_o what_o pity_n do_v they_o chastise_v with_o what_o vehemency_n do_v they_o exhort_v and_o with_o what_o weighty_a argument_n do_v they_o persuade_v all_o christian_n to_o adorn_v the_o doctrine_n of_o god_n their_o saviour_n in_o all_o thing_n so_o that_o such_o person_n who_o after_o all_o these_o thing_n can_v believe_v that_o the_o

be_v imagine_v a_o high_a sort_n of_o madness_n than_o these_o man_n be_v guilty_a of_o viz._n that_o when_o man_n be_v convince_v that_o these_o thing_n can_v not_o be_v do_v by_o mere_a mechanical_a cause_n than_o they_o attribute_v they_o to_o the_o assistance_n of_o spirit_n but_o not_o to_o the_o holy_a and_o divine_a but_o such_o as_o be_v evil_a and_o impure_a a_o madness_n so_o great_a and_o extravagant_a that_o we_o can_v hardly_o imagine_v that_o it_o be_v incident_a to_o humane_a nature_n unless_o the_o scripture_n have_v tell_v we_o that_o some_o have_v thus_o blaspheme_v the_o

of_o christ_n from_o the_o dead_a and_o the_o miraculous_a b_o effusion_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n upon_o the_o apostle_n for_o now_o the_o great_a confirmation_n be_v give_v to_o the_o truth_n of_o all_o that_o christ_n have_v say_v before_o he_o have_v some_o time_n conceal_v his_o miracle_n and_o forbid_v the_o publish_n of_o they_o and_o to_o such_o he_o appear_v but_o as_o the_o son_n of_o

i_o wot_v that_o through_o ignorance_n you_o do_v it_o as_o do_v also_o your_o ruler_n but_o now_o since_o his_o resurrection_n and_o ascension_n when_o god_n by_o the_o effusion_n of_o the_o holy_a
