do_v testify_v furthermore_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o paul_n do_v write_v unto_o the_o philippian_n when_o they_o by_o epaphroditus_n their_o pastor_n have_v send_v unto_o he_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v needful_a for_o he_o in_o bond_n to_o preserve_v life_n and_o for_o other_o extraordinary_a charge_n it_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o epaphroditus_n as_o well_o open_v unto_o he_o the_o

which_o at_o that_o time_n wander_v all_o abroad_o to_o corrupt_v sound_a doctrine_n but_o because_o they_o persist_v in_o the_o truth_n paul_n commend_v their_o constancy_n yet_o be_v mindful_a of_o the_o frailty_n that_o be_v in_o man_n and_o admonish_v perhaps_o by_o epaphroditus_n that_o they_o be_v speedy_o to_o be_v confirm_v lest_o they_o shall_v again_o fall_v he_o join_v such_o

he_o show_v that_o it_o be_v so_o far_o of_o that_o thereby_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o gospel_n shall_v be_v diminish_v that_o it_o be_v rather_o a_o argument_n to_o confirm_v it_o and_o together_o with_o his_o own_o example_n he_o exhort_v they_o to_o be_v ready_a to_o endure_v all_o thing_n at_o length_n with_o a_o exhortation_n unto_o unity_n and_o patience_n he_o conclude_v the_o first_o chapter_n but_o because_o ambition_n be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n a_o continual_a mother_n of_o dissension_n whereof_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o there_o be_v a_o door_n open_a to_o new_a and_o strange_a doctrine_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o second_o chapter_n he_o earnest_o beseech_v they_o that_o they_o will_v prefer_v nothing_o before_o humility_n and_o modesty_n and_o unto_o that_o he_o use_v many_o argument_n and_o that_o he_o may_v

before_o he_o testify_v that_o he_o rather_o desire_v death_n and_o what_o be_v better_o for_o we_o than_o be_v deliver_v out_o of_o so_o many_o misery_n of_o the_o world_n to_o pass_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n especial_o be_v deliver_v from_o the_o bondage_n of_o sin_n in_o the_o which_o he_o cry_v out_o rom._n 7.24_o that_o he_o be_v miserable_a to_o enjoy_v more_o full_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o spirit_n whereby_o we_o may_v cleave_v fast_o unto_o the_o son_fw-it of_o god_n it_o be_v a_o long_a thing_n to_o reckon_v up_o all_o thing_n which_o cause_n that_o death_n be_v better_a than_o life_n unto_o the_o faithful_a and_o more_o to_o be_v wish_v for_o therefore_o what_o mercy_n be_v that_o of_o god_n when_o it_o do_v nothing_o but_o prolong_v our_o misery_n i_o answer_v that_o all_o thing_n make_v not_o but_o these_o that_o this_o life_n esteem_v in_o itself_o be_v a_o excellent_a benefit_n of_o god_n especial_o they_o that_o live_v unto_o christ_n be_v here_o happy_o exercise_v unto_o the_o hope_n of_o heavenly_a glory_n and_o therefore_o we_o see_v a_o little_a before_o that_o life_n be_v to_o they_o advantage_n furthermore_o there_o be_v another_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v that_o god_n vouchsafe_v we_o no_o small_a thing_n when_o he_o glorifi_v himself_o in_o we_o for_o we_o must_v not_o so_o much_o respect_v our_o life_n as_o the_o end_n wherefore_o we_o do_v live_v and_o of_o i_o also_o that_o i_o shall_v not_o have_v sorrow_n upon_o sorrow_n paul_n confess_v that_o the_o death_n of_o epaphroditus_n will_v have_v be_v bitter_a unto_o he_o and_o herein_o he_o acknowledge_v that_o god_n spare_v he_o in_o that_o he_o be_v again_o restore_v unto_o his_o health_n therefore_o he_o bo_v not_o of_o the_o senselessenes_n of_o the_o stoic_n as_o though_o he_o be_v make_v of_o iron_n and_o free_a from_o the_o affection_n of_o man_n what_o therefore_o some_o will_v say_v where_o be_v the_o unconquered_a courage_n of_o his_o mind_n where_o be_v his_o unwearyed_a constancy_n i_o answer_v that_o christian_a patience_n do_v dyffer_v far_o from_o the_o perverseness_n of_o philosopher_n much_o more_o from_o that_o crooked_a and_o cruel_a hardenes_n of_o the_o stoic_n for_o what_o virtue_n be_v it_o patient_o to_o bear_v the_o cross_n if_o there_o be_v no_o feel_v of_o grief_n and_o of_o bitterness_n in_o it_o but_o while_o the_o comfort_n of_o god_n do_v overcome_v this_o feel_v that_o we_o resist_v not_o but_o rather_o willing_o give_v our_o back_n to_o be_v beat_v than_o we_o offer_v a_o sacrifice_n of_o our_o obedience_n acceptable_a unto_o god._n so_o paul_n confess_v that_o he_o do_v feel_v some_o sorrow_n and_o grief_n in_o his_o band_n notwythstand_v he_o do_v joyful_o suffer_v those_o band_n for_o christ_n he_o confess_v that_o he_o shall_v grievous_o have_v take_v the_o death_n of_o epaphroditus_n yet_o at_o length_n he_o will_v have_v frame_v his_o affection_n unto_o the_o will_n of_o god_n although_o all_o the_o hardenes_n of_o the_o matter_n be_v not_o yet_o whole_o answer_v for_o than_o we_o prove_v our_o obedience_n when_o we_o bridle_v our_o naughtye_a affection_n and_o give_v not_o place_n to_o the_o infirmity_n of_o the_o flesh_n two_o thing_n therefore_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v first_o that_o the_o affection_n which_o god_n at_o the_o beginning_n put_v into_o our_o nature_n be_v not_o evil_a of_o themselves_o because_o they_o procee_v not_o from_o the_o viciousness_n of_o our_o corrupt_a nature_n but_o flow_v from_o god_n who_o be_v the_o author_n of_o they_o of_o which_o sort_n be_v sorrow_n which_o be_v take_v for_o the_o death_n of_o our_o friend_n again_o there_o be_v many_o other_o cause_n why_o paul_n shall_v lament_v the_o death_n of_o epaphroditus_n &_o those_o not_o only_o blameless_a but_o altogether_o necessary_a this_o first_o of_o all_o be_v a_o continual_a thing_n with_o the_o faithful_a that_o in_o the_o death_n of_o any_o they_o be_v admonish_v of_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n against_o sin_n but_o paul_n be_v more_o move_v with_o the_o loss_n of_o the_o church_n which_o he_o see_v shall_v be_v destitute_a of_o a_o excellent_a pastor_n in_o so_o great_a a_o scarcity_n of_o good_a man_n they_o that_o will_v have_v such_o affection_n altogether_o take_v away_o and_o extinguish_v do_v not_o only_o feign_v man_n as_o senseless_a as_o stone_n but_o cruel_a and_o hard-hearted_a but_o in_o this_o corruption_n of_o nature_n all_o thing_n be_v so_o perverse_a in_o we_o that_o whatsoever_o our_o mind_n be_v move_v to_o they_o always_o excee_v measure_n hereof_o it_o come_v that_o nothing_o of_o itself_o be_v so_o pure_a and_o right_a which_o draw_v not_o unto_o it_o some_o contagion_n moreover_o that_o paul_n as_o he_o be_v a_o man_n suffer_v somewhat_o in_o his_o grief_n beséeme_v the_o nature_n of_o man_n i_o deny_v not_o for_o both_o he_o labour_v under_o his_o infirmity_n and_o also_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o he_o shall_v be_v tempt_v that_o by_o strive_v and_o resist_v he_o may_v have_v matter_n to_o overcome_v 28._o i_o have_v send_v he_o more_o diligent_o the_o presence_n of_o epaphroditus_n be_v no_o small_a comfort_n unto_o he_o yet_o he_o so_o much_o prefer_v the_o salvation_n of_o the_o philippian_n before_o his_o own_o commodity_n that_o he_o say_v he_o rejoice_v for_o his_o departure_n because_o he_o

of_o they_o therefore_o he_o say_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v more_o glad_a for_o the_o joy_n of_o the_o philippian_n 29._o receive_v he_o with_o all_o joy_n he_o take_v all_o joy_n for_o sincere_a and_o surpass_a joy_n and_o again_o he_o commend_v he_o to_o the_o philippian_n he_o labour_v altogether_o in_o this_o point_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v much_o esteem_v that_o prove_v themselves_o good_a and_o faithful_a pastor_n neither_o do_v he_o speak_v only_o of_o one_o but_o he_o command_v all_o such_o to_o be_v have_v in_o estimation_n for_o they_o be_v precious_a stone_n take_v out_o of_o the_o treasure_n of_o god_n and_o the_o rare_a they_o be_v the_o more_o worthy_a they_o be_v of_o great_a value_n and_o it_o be_v without_o doubt_n that_o god_n oftentimes_o do_v punish_v our_o

by_o all_o mean_v possible_a because_o for_o the_o work_n of_o christ_n i_o refer_v it_o unto_o that_o infirmity_n which_o he_o have_v get_v by_o his_o continual_a diligence_n therefore_o he_o
