reason_n which_o be_v see_v to_o hold_v in_o a_o man_n body_n ought_v to_o be_v also_o in_o the_o society_n of_o the_o faithful_a by_o that_o similitude_n he_o prove_v how_o necessary_a it_o be_v

it_o be_v to_o be_v apply_v unto_o the_o present_a cause_n that_o as_o the_o member_n of_o one_o body_n have_v distinct_a office_n and_o all_o thing_n distinct_a body_n the_o application_n of_o the_o similitude_n take_v from_o the_o member_n of_o a_o man_n body_n for_o no_o member_n either_o hold_v all_o office_n together_o or_o take_v unto_o he_o the_o office_n of_o other_o so_o have_v god_n give_v unto_o we_o diverse_a gift_n by_o which_o discretion_n or_o diversity_n he_o have_v ordain_v what_o order_n he_o will_v have_v to_o be_v keep_v amongst_o we_o that_o every_o one_o shall_v

the_o body_n 6_o we_o have_v gift_n paul_n do_v not_o simple_o now_o preach_v of_o the_o maintain_n of_o brotherly_a love_n amongst_o we_o but_o he_o commend_v modesty_n which_o be_v the_o moderator_n of_o our_o whole_a life_n communication_n the_o diversity_n and_o in_o equality_n of_o gift_n be_v the_o bond_n of_o mutual_a communication_n every_o man_n covet_v to_o have_v so_o much_o that_o he_o

constrain_v to_o borrow_v of_o other_o i_o confess_v therefore_o that_o the_o society_n of_o the_o godly_a can_v stand_v but_o while_o every_o one_o be_v content_a with_o his_o own_o measure_n do_v

to_o beat_v down_o that_o pride_n which_o he_o know_v to_o be_v graft_v in_o man_n and_o lest_o any_o man_n shall_v be_v greeve_v that_o all_o thing_n be_v not_o give_v unto_o he_o he_o admonish_v that_o not_o without_o the_o good_a counsel_n of_o god_n every_o one_o have_v his_o part_n give_v unto_o he_o because_o it_o be_v necessary_a for_o the_o common_a benefit_n of_o the_o body_n that_o none_o shall_v be_v so_o furnish_v with_o the_o fullness_n of_o gift_n lest_o he_o shall_v secure_o despise_v his_o brethren_n here_o than_o we_o have_v the_o principal_a scope_n whereunto_o the_o apostle_n tend_v namely_o that_o all_o thing_n be_v not_o meet_v for_o all_o man_n but_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n be_v so_o dispose_v that_o every_o one_o may_v have_v his_o finite_a portion_n and_o every_o one_o ought_v so_o to_o intend_v in_o bestow_v his_o gift_n to_o the_o edification_n of_o the_o church_n that_o no_o man_n have_v leave_v his_o own_o function_n shall_v take_v upon_o he_o another_o man_n for_o by_o this_o decent_a order_n as_o it_o be_v due_a proportion_n the_o incolumitie_n of_o the_o church_n be_v save_v when_o every_o man_n do_v so_o bestow_v that_o he_o have_v

for_o the_o difference_n of_o gift_n do_v not_o spring_v from_o the_o will_n of_o man_n but_o because_o it_o have_v please_v the_o lord_n so_o to_o dispose_v his_o grace_n whether_o prophecy_n now_o by_o bring_v in_o certain_a particular_n for_o example_n he_o show_v how_o every_o man_n ought_v to_o be_v occupy_v in_o his_o gift_n as_o in_o keep_v his_o station_n for_o every_o gift_n have_v his_o
