good_a thing_n be_v punysh_v and_o by_o punishment_n teach_v to_o use_v good_a thing_n better_o with_o thanks_n gyve_v to_o god_n like_o wise_n i_o wish_v and_o desire_v that_o the_o read_v of_o

also_o we_o may_v learn_v that_o paul_n although_o he_o preach_v god_n word_n pure_o and_o syncer_o yet_o he_o have_v many_o enemy_n and_o adversary_n yea_o of_o that_o sort_n that_o preach_v the_o

for_o envy_n and_o hatred_n they_o have_v to_o paul_n and_o to_o bring_v paul_n in_o more_o hatred_n to_o nero_n the_o emperor_n and_o by_o that_o mean_n to_o increase_v paul_n pain_n and_o torment_n for_o they_o know_v that_o nero_n will_v be_v more_o fierce_a and_o cruel_a against_o paul_n the_o more_o the_o gospel_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v preach_v abroad_o and_o more_o publysh_v here_o we_o may_v see_v what_o envy_n and_o malice_n do_v and_o that_o wicked_a man_n sometime_o pretend_v holiness_n that_o they_o may_v do_v displeasure_n to_o he_o who_o they_o envy_v and_o to_o bring_v he_o to_o more_o torment_n and_o pain_n as_o these_o adversares_fw-la of_o paul_n do_v preach_v not_o pure_o nor_o sincere_o but_o of_o envy_n and_o of_o contention_n and_o if_o there_o be_v such_o in_o

presone_n and_o torment_n also_o here_o we_o may_v see_v that_o as_o impiete_a &_o destruction_n of_o the_o people_n be_v persuade_v to_o nero_n for_o the_o health_n and_o salvation_n of_o his_o

of_o the_o people_n so_o prince_n have_v err_v for_o a_o time_n but_o thanks_n be_v to_o god_n that_o error_n be_v take_v away_o from_o many_o prince_n and_o high_a rueler_n and_o the_o trew_v in_o the_o place_n of_o error_n persuade_v that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n in_o the_o mother_n tongue_n be_v very_o profitable_a for_o all_o man_n that_o will_v use_v they_o well_o and_o these_o that_o

people_n not_o seek_v thereby_o their_o own_o lucre_n avantange_n honour_n and_o glory_n here_o we_o may_v see_v that_o in_o paul_n life_n there_o be_v some_o good_a preacher_n some_o evyll_n preacher_n nor_o every_o one_o do_v not_o think_v well_o of_o paul_n for_o some_o think_v he_o a_o heretyke_a and_o a_o deceyver_n of_o the_o people_n and_o therefore_o they_o labour_v with_o all_o diligence_n to_o increase_v his_o pain_n and_o stude_v to_o bring_v paul_n to_o shame_n rebuke_v turmente_n and_o death_n other_o there_o be_v that_o know_v paul_n to_o preach_v the_o truth_n and_o to_o defend_v the_o gospel_n by_o his_o afflyction_n and_o they_o make_v bold_a by_o his_o constancy_n and_o patience_n to_o preach_v and_o publyshe_a chrste_v gospel_n without_o all_o fear_n and_o that_o in_o the_o court_n and_o hall_n of_o nero._n but_o here_o peradventure_o some_o will_v ask_v do_v all_o know_v paul_n to_o preach_v the_o truth_n no_o for_o god_n do_v not_o lighten_v every_o

some_o do_v call_v god_n word_n heresy_n and_o true_a preacher_n of_o it_o heretic_n and_o do_v hate_v they_o and_o persecute_v they_o the_o cause_n be_v they_o be_v not_o lyghtn_v with_o the_o

whether_o they_o do_v it_o of_o a_o good_a mind_n or_o of_o a_o evyll_n purpose_n and_o intent_n it_o be_v better_a the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o be_v publysh_v abroad_o then_o to_o be_v hide_v under_o

work_v profitable_a to_o other_o will_v they_o will_v they_o they_o promote_v god_n glory_n so_o god_n order_n the_o matter_n of_o wicked_a man_n so_o here_o we_o may_v learn_v that_o christ_n may_v
