that_o in_o his_o judgement_n the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v not_o general_a to_o affirm_v that_o no_o man_n can_v call_v jesus_n lord_z but_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o relate_v to_o the_o particular_a whereof_o he_o speak_v to_o tell_v we_o that_o such_o as_o pretend_v to_o speak_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n if_o they_o glorify_v our_o lord_n christ_n then_o be_v they_o what_o

do_v and_o may_v counterfeit_v themselves_o christian_n and_o call_v jesus_n lord_n with_o a_o tongue_n rather_o move_v by_o the_o evil_a spirit_n it_o seem_v a_o inconvenience_n to_o grant_v that_o all_o man_n in_o confess_v christ_n speak_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o truth_n which_o they_o confess_v but_o it_o be_v reasonable_a to_o conceive_v that_o god_n suffer_v not_o

and_o this_o say_v he_o manifest_v to_o those_o that_o be_v without_o the_o church_n that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v in_o he_o that_o speak_v therefore_o so_o he_o call_v it_o say_v but_o to_o

this_o be_v true_a yet_o the_o process_n of_o the_o apostle_n discourse_n from_o vers_fw-la 12._o intend_v not_o only_o to_o comprise_v miraculous_a grace_n but_o all_o ministery_n ordain_v for_o

to_o grudge_v at_o they_o upon_o who_o public_a grace_n or_o place_n be_v bestow_v and_o they_o not_o to_o despise_v private_a person_n this_o comparison_n the_o apostle_n set_v on_o foot_n also_o in_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n but_o slight_v it_o over_o more_o in_o brief_a there_o because_o as_o s._n chrysostome_n think_v it_o seem_v the_o abuse_n against_o which_o he_o write_v as_o it_o be_v also_o there_o so_o be_v it_o more_o rife_a among_o the_o corinthian_n this_o reason_n it_o be_v plain_a concern_v those_o that_o
