through_o they_o and_o their_o ungodly_a practice_n cause_v the_o good_a way_n of_o god_n to_o be_v evil_o speak_v of_o and_o this_o o_o you_o priest_n be_v the_o manifest_a and_o evident_a fruit_n of_o your_o work_n and_o labour_n but_o the_o free_a and_o true_a ministry_n of_o christ_n jesus_n be_v for_o the_o perfect_a of_o the_o saint_n and_o the_o edify_n of_o the_o body_n until_o they_o

unto_o you_o all_o o_o you_o protestant_a priest_n in_o france_n i_o say_v cease_v from_o steal_v other_o man_n word_n and_o make_v merchandise_n of_o they_o to_o other_o but_o come_v to_o the_o

you_o come_v to_o witness_v this_o only_a holy_a and_o true_a call_n i_o say_v again_o and_o again_o as_o from_o the_o lord_n god_n of_o life_n cease_v and_o be_v still_o and_o let_v the_o people_n alone_o until_o the_o lord_n send_v labourer_n among_o they_o for_o the_o vineyard_n be_v only_o he_o to_o send_v into_o it_o to_o labour_v who_o he_o only_o will_v appoint_v thereto_o and_o he_o

and_o repent_v that_o you_o may_v find_v mercy_n for_o the_o blood_n of_o one_o man_n if_o it_o be_v lay_v to_o your_o charge_n will_v be_v too_o heavy_a for_o you_o to_o bear_v which_o assure_o you_o

the_o true_a ministry_n be_v to_o bring_v people_n unto_o god_n and_o on_o he_o alone_o to_o wait_v for_o teach_v which_o be_v his_o covenant_n and_o promise_n to_o bring_v people_n to_o be_v
