have_v to_o keep_v close_o in_o every_o the_o least_o circumstance_n to_o the_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n of_o the_o apostle_n we_o can_v i_o think_v desire_v a_o fair_a instance_n to_o convince_v

of_o keep_v easter_n he_o think_v it_o worthy_a his_o pain_n at_o a_o extreme_a old_a age_n to_o take_v a_o journey_n as_o far_o as_o rome_n for_o the_o compose_n of_o it_o and_o notwithstanding_o

and_o when_o such_o be_v the_o care_n which_o these_o holy_a writer_n have_v of_o hold_v fast_o even_o to_o the_o least_o particular_a of_o what_o they_o receive_v from_o the_o apostle_n that_o they_o

they_o sure_o we_o may_v with_o confidence_n depend_v upon_o the_o doctrine_n which_o they_o deliver_v as_o most_o pure_a and_o genuine_a what_o our_o saviour_n teach_v his_o apostle_n and_o his_o

their_o courage_n and_o constancy_n in_o the_o maintain_n of_o it_o how_o great_a this_o be_v i_o have_v already_o show_v in_o the_o particular_a account_n which_o i_o have_v give_v of_o the_o

do_v not_o immediate_o argue_v the_o purity_n of_o their_o doctrine_n yet_o be_v add_v to_o what_o i_o have_v before_o observe_v will_v give_v we_o a_o new_a ground_n to_o rely_v upon_o the_o truth_n of_o what_o they_o deliver_v for_o since_o we_o can_v reasonable_o doubt_v but_o that_o such_o person_n as_o these_o must_v needs_o have_v know_v what_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v and_o have_v be_v perfect_o instruct_v in_o that_o religion_n which_o they_o be_v esteem_v able_a and_o worthy_a to_o preach_v to_o other_o we_o have_v in_o this_o a_o clear_a demonstration_n of_o their_o integrity_n both_o in_o their_o teach_v and_o write_v of_o it_o and_o must_v conclude_v that_o they_o who_o live_v such_o excellent_a life_n and_o take_v so_o much_o pain_n in_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o stick_v with_o such_o firmness_n to_o it_o notwithstanding_o all_o the_o endeavour_n of_o their_o enemy_n to_o the_o contrary_a and_o choose_v rather_o to_o undergo_v the_o most_o bitter_a death_n than_o they_o will_v in_o any_o wise_a depart_n from_o it_o have_v doubtless_o deal_v most_o upright_o in_o this_o matter_n and_o deliver_v nothing_o to_o we_o but_o what_o they_o take_v for_o the_o true_a doctrine_n of_o christ_n and_o what_o therefore_o we_o may_v conclude_v undoubted_o be_v so_o 11._o such_o good_a reason_n then_o have_v we_o upon_o all_o

and_o have_v not_o in_o the_o least_o yield_v to_o any_o evil_a desire_n but_o have_v constant_o walk_v in_o righteousness_n and_o truth_n these_o therefore_o have_v their_o conversation_n among_o

such_o as_o have_v deny_v the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o not_o return_v again_o to_o the_o lord_n but_o have_v become_v savage_a and_o wild_a not_o apply_v themselves_o to_o the_o servant_n of_o

perish_v and_o be_v choke_v by_o the_o weed_n and_o in_o time_n become_v wild_a and_o cease_v to_o be_v useful_a to_o its_o lord_n so_o this_o kind_n of_o man_n despair_v of_o themselves_o and_o be_v

so_o the_o word_n of_o such_o person_n infect_v and_o destroy_v men._n they_o be_v therefore_o maim_v in_o their_o faith_n by_o reason_n of_o that_o kind_n of_o life_n in_o which_o they_o lead_v howbeit_o some_o of_o they_o have_v repent_v have_v be_v save_v and_o so_o shall_v other_o of_o the_o same_o kind_n be_v save_v if_o they_o shall_v repent_v but_o if_o not_o they_o shall_v die_v by_o those_o woman_n who_o power_n and_o force_n they_o enjoy_v xxvii_o for_o what_o concern_v the_o ten_o mountain_n in_o which_o be_v the_o tree_n cover_v the_o cattle_n they_o be_v such_o as_o have_v

therefore_o they_o also_o be_v protect_v by_o the_o lord_n whosoever_o shall_v do_v on_o this_o wise_a be_v honour_v with_o the_o lord_n and_o their_o place_n be_v among_o the_o angel_n if_o they_o

such_o as_o have_v believe_v and_o suffer_v death_n for_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o have_v endure_v with_o a_o ready_a mind_n and_o have_v give_v up_o their_o life_n with_o all_o their_o

such_o thought_n that_o this_o mind_n continue_v not_o in_o you_o and_o you_o die_v unto_o god_n but_o you_o who_o suffer_v death_n for_o his_o name_n sake_n aught_o to_o honour_v the_o lord_n that_o he_o have_v esteem_v you_o worthy_a to_o bear_v his_o name_n and_o that_o you_o shall_v be_v deliver_v from_o all_o your_o sin_n and_o why_o therefore_o do_v you_o not_o rather_o esteem_v yourselves_o happy_a why_o do_v you_o not_o think_v that_o if_o any_o one_o among_o you_o suffer_v he_o perform_v a_o great_a work_n for_o the_o lord_n give_v you_o life_n and_o you_o understand_v it_o not_o for_o

such_o as_o have_v believe_v like_o sincere_a child_n into_o who_o thought_n there_o never_o come_v any_o malice_n nor_o have_v they_o ever_o know_v what_o sin_n be_v but_o have_v always_o continue_v in_o their_o integrity_n wherefore_o this_o kind_n of_o man_n shall_v without_o all_o doubt_n inherit_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n because_o they_o have_v never_o in_o any_o thing_n defile_v the_o
