own_o honour_n 2._o which_o the_o evil_a report_n of_o the_o false_a apostle_n make_v necessary_a and_o argue_v with_o great_a strength_n and_o conviction_n against_o the_o imposer_n of_o the_o law_n 5._o he_o betake_v himself_o to_o the_o enforce_a the_o practice_n of_o the_o general_a and_o necessary_a duty_n of_o christianity_n upon_o these_o galatian_n if_o they_o have_v such_o a_o mind_n to_o

any_o thing_n out_o of_o hope_n of_o recompense_n for_o it_o in_o another_o life_n he_o be_v say_v to_o sow_v to_o his_o flesh_n but_o he_o that_o be_v good_a and_o charitable_a and_o kind_a to_o

the_o great_a principle_n of_o another_o world_n be_v whole_o spiritual_a and_o these_o two_o flesh_n and_o spirit_n be_v place_v as_o two_o lodestone_n draw_v our_o heart_n several_a way_n the_o one_o be_v much_o strong_a but_o at_o a_o great_a distance_n the_o other_o have_v less_o force_n in_o itself_o but_o be_v much_o near_o to_o we_o by_o which_o mean_v it_o draw_v more_o powerful_o the_o heart_n that_o be_v already_o touch_v with_o a_o strong_a inclination_n to_o it_o but_o the_o apostle_n use_v the_o similitude_n of_o two_o field_n wherein_o the_o product_n of_o the_o seed_n

that_o sow_v to_o the_o spirit_n i._n e._n have_v so_o great_a a_o regard_n to_o the_o reward_n of_o another_o life_n that_o he_o be_v willing_a to_o let_v go_v a_o present_a enjoyment_n and_o bury_v it_o under_o ground_n cast_v it_o in_o as_o seed_v into_o the_o earth_n in_o hope_n of_o a_o future_a resurrection_n however_o he_o may_v be_v condemn_v as_o a_o weak_a and_o improvident_a man_n by_o the_o man_n of_o this_o world_n yet_o as_o certain_a as_o there_o be_v a_o life_n everlasting_a to_o come_v so_o certain_o shall_v all_o his_o good_a deed_n yield_v a_o abundant_a increase_n and_o meet_v with_o a_o glorious_a recompense_n then_o if_o there_o be_v no_o corrupt_a mixture_n in_o the_o sow_v which_o may_v spoil_v the_o virtue_n of_o the_o seed_n for_o he_o that_o sow_v to_o the_o spirit_n shall_v of_o the_o spirit_n reap_v life_n everlasting_a and_o let_v not_o man_n deceive_v themselves_o if_o they_o look_v only_o at_o themselves_o and_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o world_n let_v their_o pretence_n be_v never_o so_o spiritual_a if_o they_o dare_v not_o do_v act_n of_o charity_n so_o as_o to_o trust_v god_n for_o a_o reward_n they_o do_v but_o sow_v to_o the_o flesh_n
