the_o testimony_n of_o the_o everlasting_a gospel_n witness_v through_o suffering_n we_o the_o prisoner_n of_o the_o lord_n who_o be_v call_v and_o choose_v to_o this_o work_n of_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o gospel_n of_o ghrist_n and_o to_o bear_v testimony_n to_o the_o truth_n which_o free_o we_o have_v receive_v and_o do_v free_o declare_v and_o do_v covet_v no_o man_n gold_n nor_o silver_n nor_o meat_n nor_o drink_v nor_o apparel_n god_n be_v our_o witness_n who_o honour_n and_o glory_n we_o seek_v and_o not_o our_o own_o but_o do_v labour_n in_o the_o lord_n work_n be_v chargeable_a to_o no_o man_n but_o this_o do_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n testify_v to_o we_o daily_o that_o in_o they_o that_o receive_v our_o testimony_n and_o in_o they_o that_o persecute_v we_o be_v we_o a_o good_a savour_n unto_o god_n both_o in_o they_o that_o believe_v and_o in_o they_o that_o perish_v and_o that_o we_o may_v finish_v our_o testimony_n and_o work_n of_o the_o ministry_n commit_v unto_o we_o we_o love_v not_o our_o life_n unto_o death_n but_o be_v revile_v persecute_v and_o shameful_o entreat_v by_o this_o perverse_a generation_n who_o have_v no_o law_n to_o act_v any_o thing_n

our_o ministry_n be_v and_o they_o who_o do_v act_n against_o the_o servant_n of_o the_o live_a god_n do_v act_n against_o god_n for_o the_o law_n of_o god_n which_o be_v perfect_a we_o witness_v to_o

the_o street_n oh_o be_v ashamed_a all_o the_o power_n of_o the_o earth_n who_o have_v set_v yourselves_o against_o the_o mighty_a power_n of_o god_n who_o be_v now_o come_v to_o discover_v you_o
