the_o one_o be_v a_o type_n of_o the_o other_o as_o the_o outward_a man_n be_v a_o type_n of_o the_o inward_a man_n and_o therefore_o my_o work_n shall_v be_v in_o this_o chapter_n to_o show_v you_o

yet_o learn_v he_o obedience_n by_o the_o thing_n he_o suffer_v and_o be_v obedient_a in_o all_o thing_n and_o be_v most_o dear_a and_o precious_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o father_n and_o yet_o

himself_o be_v not_o than_o it_o seem_v thou_o be_v great_a and_o have_v more_o privilege_n than_o he_o but_o thy_o blindness_n will_v deceive_v thou_o and_o what_o say_v thou_o to_o paul_n he_o be_v

be_v low_a and_o yet_o paul_n be_v a_o visible_a worshipper_n of_o god_n for_o he_o be_v a_o baptise_a person_n and_o do_v administer_v the_o supper_n and_o do_v partake_v of_o it_o himself_o and_o teach_v the_o gather_n of_o church_n and_o those_o be_v his_o way_n that_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n if_o thou_o will_v stoop_v so_o low_a as_o to_o look_v in_o 2_o cor._n 4._o which_o thou_o can_v hardly_o do_v thou_o be_v bridle_v up_o so_o high_a with_o that_o golden_a chain_n about_o thy_o neck_n call_v mystery_n but_o thou_o say_v that_o the_o apostle_n say_v himself_o that_o he_o be_v not_o send_v to_o baptise_v but_o to_o preach_v and_o thou_o think_v that_o this_o be_v a_o great_a argument_n from_o the_o word_n not_o to_o the_o which_o i_o reply_v that_o the_o apostle_n say_v also_o that_o we_o wrestle_v not_o against_o flesh_n and_o blood_n but_o against_o principality_n and_o power_n and_o yet_o thou_o will_v say_v that_o he_o wrestle_v against_o flesh_n and_o blood_n so_o that_o thou_o see_v the_o word_n not_o do_v imply_v something_o for_o the_o apostle_n say_v i_o have_v write_v unto_o you_o not_z to_o keep_v company_n with_o such_o and_o such_o and_o yet_o not_o altogether_o refrain_v for_o than_o thou_o must_v go_v out_o of_o the_o world_n and_o so_o thou_o see_v the_o word_n not_o do_v imply_v something_o for_o the_o word_n not_o and_o the_o word_n nothing_o be_v all_o one_o and_o signify_v one_o thing_n and_o so_o paul_n be_v not_o send_v to_o preach_v that_o be_v not_o only_o send_v to_o baptise_v but_o to_o preach_v christ_n tell_v his_o
