for_o envy_n and_o hatred_n they_o have_v to_o paul_n and_o to_o bring_v paul_n in_o more_o hatred_n to_o nero_n the_o emperor_n and_o by_o that_o mean_n to_o increase_v paul_n pain_n and_o torment_n for_o they_o know_v that_o nero_n will_v be_v more_o fierce_a and_o cruel_a against_o paul_n the_o more_o the_o gospel_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v preach_v abroad_o and_o more_o publysh_v here_o we_o may_v see_v what_o envy_n and_o malice_n do_v and_o that_o wicked_a man_n sometime_o pretend_v holiness_n that_o they_o may_v do_v displeasure_n to_o he_o who_o they_o envy_v and_o to_o bring_v he_o to_o more_o torment_n and_o pain_n as_o these_o adversares_fw-la of_o paul_n do_v preach_v not_o pure_o nor_o sincere_o but_o of_o envy_n and_o of_o contention_n and_o if_o there_o be_v such_o in_o

presone_n and_o torment_n also_o here_o we_o may_v see_v that_o as_o impiete_a &_o destruction_n of_o the_o people_n be_v persuade_v to_o nero_n for_o the_o health_n and_o salvation_n of_o his_o

people_n not_o seek_v thereby_o their_o own_o lucre_n avantange_n honour_n and_o glory_n here_o we_o may_v see_v that_o in_o paul_n life_n there_o be_v some_o good_a preacher_n some_o evyll_n preacher_n nor_o every_o one_o do_v not_o think_v well_o of_o paul_n for_o some_o think_v he_o a_o heretyke_a and_o a_o deceyver_n of_o the_o people_n and_o therefore_o they_o labour_v with_o all_o diligence_n to_o increase_v his_o pain_n and_o stude_v to_o bring_v paul_n to_o shame_n rebuke_v turmente_n and_o death_n other_o there_o be_v that_o know_v paul_n to_o preach_v the_o truth_n and_o to_o defend_v the_o gospel_n by_o his_o afflyction_n and_o they_o make_v bold_a by_o his_o constancy_n and_o patience_n to_o preach_v and_o publyshe_a chrste_v gospel_n without_o all_o fear_n and_o that_o in_o the_o court_n and_o hall_n of_o nero._n but_o here_o peradventure_o some_o will_v ask_v do_v all_o know_v paul_n to_o preach_v the_o truth_n no_o for_o god_n do_v not_o lighten_v every_o
