cephas_n these_o be_v excellent_a preacher_n and_o as_o 1._o 1_o cor._n 1._o the_o apostle_n say_v in_o the_o end_n of_o the_o three_o chapter_n they_o be_v all_o they_o and_o therefore_o they_o

for_o profane_a and_o atheistical_a man_n and_o how_o do_v it_o cause_v the_o enemy_n to_o blaspheme_v the_o holy_a way_n of_o god_n three_o consider_v how_o contrary_a this_o be_v to_o our_o rule_n and_o to_o our_o pattern_n a_o christian_n shall_v take_v christ_n word_n for_o his_o rule_n and_o christ_n example_n for_o his_o pattern_n now_o first_o how_o contrary_a be_v this_o quarrel_a frame_n

another_o and_o as_o our_o rule_n enjoin_v we_o love_n so_o peace_n and_o quietness_n have_v peace_n one_o with_o another_o let_v we_o follow_v after_o those_o thing_n which_o make_v for_o peace_n and_o thing_n wherewith_o one_o may_v edify_v one_o another_o the_o apostle_n beseech_v they_o that_o they_o study_v to_o be_v quiet_a the_o apostle_n peter_n tell_v 11._o 1_o thes_n 4._o 11._o they_o

to_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o christian_n shall_v be_v of_o a_o froward_a unquiet_a and_o contentious_a spirit_n the_o apostle_n say_v if_o it_o be_v possible_a as_o much_o as_o in_o
