the_o son_n speak_v in_o those_o last_o day_n the_o day_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v in_o divers_a manner_n for_o first_o he_o speak_v by_o himself_o in_o person_n 4.18_o luke_n 4.18_o the_o spirit_n

when_o the_o church_n be_v thus_o found_v by_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o the_o propagation_n of_o it_o to_o all_o time_n after_o it_o please_v god_n to_o give_v it_o in_o write_v

nor_o the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o some_o pretend_v to_o do_v to_o know_v god_n will_v but_o to_o receive_v it_o only_o from_o that_o scripture_n thus_o far_o we_o have_v the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o

hear_v but_o when_o it_o please_v god_n to_o commit_v the_o dispense_n of_o that_o word_n to_o the_o pastor_n of_o the_o church_n for_o the_o perfect_a of_o the_o saint_n for_o the_o work_n of_o the_o

here_o only_o in_o the_o transcript_n or_o copy_n and_o some_o copying_n be_v more_o happy_a than_o other_o and_o come_v near_o the_o original_a and_o therefore_o not_o all_o of_o the_o same_o value_n and_o esteem_v all_o preacher_n be_v not_o to_o be_v hear_v alike_o nor_o all_o sermon_n the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o they_o be_v so_o the_o water_n of_o life_n that_o it_o often_o taste_v of_o the_o

which_o belong_v to_o the_o pure_a and_o proper_a word_n of_o god_n for_o take_v a_o sermon_n at_o the_o best_a the_o most_o you_o can_v make_v of_o it_o be_v that_o it_o be_v god_n word_n only_o in_o a_o qualify_a sense_n because_o the_o church_n intend_v it_o shall_v be_v so_o and_o it_o be_v the_o preacher_n judgement_n and_o opinion_n that_o it_o be_v so_o and_o possible_o it_o may_v be_v so_o indeed_o but_o then_o because_o possible_o it_o may_v not_o be_v so_o we_o have_v need_n take_v heed_n what_o we_o hear_v we_o learn_v from_o st._n paul_n that_o it_o be_v more_o than_o possible_a it_o be_v true_o so_o then_o for_o he_o warn_v timothy_n of_o preacher_n that_o will_v strive_v about_o word_n to_o no_o purpose_n but_o to_o the_o subversion_n of_o the_o hearer_n 2_o tim._n 2.14_o

to_o take_v heed_n but_o alas_o what_o shall_v private_a man_n do_v must_v they_o or_o can_v they_o call_v all_o preacher_n and_o doctrine_n to_o account_v the_o scripture_n indeed_o which_o be_v
