they_o may_v agree_v in_o one_o man_n we_o must_v consider_v that_o the_o apostle_n speak_v here_o of_o diverse_a member_n of_o one_o body_n &_o mean_v y_o it_o every_o one_o must_v have_v his_o

use_v it_o to_o the_o common_a commodity_n of_o all_o his_o fellow-member_n if_o the_o natural_a member_n of_o the_o body_n do_v perfect_o perform_v their_o several_a duty_n than_o it_o must_v needs_o go_v well_o with_o the_o body_n and_o nature_n must_v needs_o delight_v and_o take_v great_a pleasure_n in_o it_o but_o if_o contrary_o one_o member_n do_v encroach_v upon_o the_o office_n of_o a_o
