not_o only_o suppose_v it_o very_o possible_a but_o he_o bid_v they_o have_v a_o particular_a eye_n to_o they_o lest_o they_o shall_v be_v deceive_v by_o they_o the_o church_n of_o corinth_n be_v plant_v by_o paul_n and_o water_v by_o apollo_n and_o there_o be_v disciple_n of_o cephas_n and_o of_o christ_n himself_o and_o yet_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o so_o many_o infallible_a teacher_n they_o have_v like_a to_o have_v lose_v all_o their_o faith_n as_o one_o of_o they_o tell_v they_o 15._o how_o say_v some_o among_o you_o there_o be_v no_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a 14._o and_o if_o

the_o apostle_n at_o first_o preach_v to_o they_o the_o church_n of_o galatia_n have_v such_o a_o opinion_n of_o st._n paul_n 14._o upon_o his_o first_o preach_v the_o gospel_n among_o they_o that_o they_o receive_v he_o as_o a_o angel_n of_o god_n even_o as_o christ_n jesus_n yet_o present_o after_o he_o say_v be_o i_o therefore_o become_v your_o enemy_n because_o i_o tell_v you_o the_o truth_n

they_o the_o truth_n but_o where_o truth_n can_v make_v enemy_n error_n may_v easy_o gain_v friend_n and_o so_o we_o find_v it_o be_v in_o the_o apostolical_a church_n even_o under_o the_o conduct_n and_o teach_v of_o the_o apostle_n the_o colossian_n be_v not_o yet_o so_o far_o go_v but_o they_o be_v in_o such_o danger_n that_o the_o apostle_n write_v this_o epistle_n with_o great_a

that_o they_o go_v about_o not_o to_o undermine_v christianity_n but_o to_o advance_v it_o by_o take_v in_o some_o jewish_a custom_n and_o some_o gentile_a observance_n and_o modes_n of_o worship_n which_o may_v easy_o be_v accommodate_v to_o the_o christian_a doctrine_n and_o so_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o the_o ammosity_n both_o of_o the_o jew_n and_o heathen_n will_v be_v remove_v and_o christianity_n will_v thereby_o gain_v more_o friend_n and_o meet_v with_o few_o enemy_n the_o apostle_n find_v how_o necessary_a it_o be_v at_o this_o time_n if_o possible_a to_o keep_v they_o steadfast_a in_o the_o faith_n 1._o he_o assure_v they_o that_o the_o christian_a doctrine_n be_v of_o itself_o so_o sufficient_a for_o the_o good_a of_o mankind_n that_o it_o need_v no_o addition_n either_o from_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n or_o the_o philosophy_n of_o the_o gentile_n which_o may_v introduce_v several_a thing_n with_o a_o specious_a appearance_n of_o wisdom_n humility_n and_o

treasure_n of_o wisdom_n and_o knowledge_n 2._o that_o this_o doctrine_n be_v at_o first_o true_o deliver_v to_o they_o and_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v steadfast_a in_o it_o which_o be_v the_o design_n of_o the_o text._n but_o they_o may_v object_v that_o epaphras_n be_v no_o apostle_n of_o christ_n himself_o and_o if_o he_o be_v yet_o there_o be_v many_o apostle_n and_o the_o false_a apostle_n pretend_v to_o be_v true_a one_o and_o although_o st._n paul_n interpose_v his_o authority_n yet_o he_o be_v but_o one_o and_o the_o judaizer_n will_v not_o yield_v to_o it_o but_o be_v ready_a to_o suggest_v that_o the_o other_o apostle_n be_v more_o favourable_a to_o the_o jewish_a custom_n than_o he_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v necessary_a some_o more_o general_a and_o common_a rule_n be_v find_v out_o whereby_o to_o distinguish_v the_o original_a and_o genuine_a doctrine_n of_o christ_n from_o that_o of_o pretender_n and_o seducer_n the_o clear_n of_o this_o be_v in_o itself_o a_o matter_n of_o great_a consequence_n and_o not_o only_o be_v to_o those_o of_o that_o age_n but_o be_v so_o in_o every_o age_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n where_o the_o same_o question_n may_v be_v

answer_n lie_v in_o two_o particular_n which_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o clear_v 1._o 〈…〉_z the_o apostle_n do_v in_o common_a deliver_v to_o 〈…〉_z by_o they_o be_v the_o genuine_a doctrine_n 〈…〉_z

common_a deliver_v to_o the_o church_n plant_v by_o they_o for_o we_o have_v all_o the_o reason_n in_o the_o world_n to_o believe_v that_o the_o apostle_n deliver_v one_o and_o the_o same_o faith_n to_o all_o the_o church_n have_v the_o same_o infallible_a spirit_n to_o direct_v they_o there_o be_v no_o need_n for_o they_o to_o meet_v together_o before_o their_o dispersion_n and_o to_o agree_v upon_o some_o common_a article_n of_o faith_n symbol_n as_o russinus_n imagine_v lest_o they_o shall_v differ_v from_o each_o other_o for_o how_o can_v they_o differ_v 13._o who_o have_v the_o same_o spirit_n of_o truth_n to_o lead_v they_o into_o all_o truth_n and_o we_o find_v nothing_o like_o a_o combination_n among_o the_o apostle_n as_o to_o matter_n of_o doctrine_n and_o if_o there_o have_v be_v it_o will_v have_v render_v the_o faith_n they_o deliver_v more_o suspicious_a in_o that_o they_o dare_v not_o trust_v particular_a person_n with_o delivery_n of_o it_o without_o a_o antecedent_n confederacy_n among_o themselves_o which_o will_v have_v cern_v he_o and_o the_o disciple_n when_o they_o first_o hear_v he_o be_v amaze_v 21._o after_o this_o he_o take_v a_o course_n by_o himself_o and_o do_v not_o go_v up_o to_o jerusalem_n to_o the_o college_n of_o apostle_n there_o resident_a 17._o but_o go_v into_o arabia_n so_o that_o if_o any_o one_o may_v be_v think_v to_o set_v up_o another_o doctrine_n it_o be_v he_o but_o he_o be_v so_o far_o from_o it_o that_o he_o establish_v and_o confirm_v the_o truth_n of_o what_o they_o deliver_v and_o be_v very_o successful_a in_o his_o apostleship_n in_o all_o place_n and_o when_o there_o have_v be_v some_o whisper_n concern_v he_o as_o though_o he_o proceed_v not_o in_o the_o same_o way_n with_o the_o rest_n he_o go_v up_o to_o jerusalem_n and_o there_o upon_o full_a examination_n james_n and_o cephas_n 9_o and_o john_n who_o be_v the_o lead_a apostle_n give_v he_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o fellowship_n in_o token_n of_o their_o full_a consent_n in_o the_o same_o faith._n 2._o the_o truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v the_o more_o plain_o discover_v all_o this_o while_n the_o apostle_n only_o preach_v and_o deliver_v their_o doctrine_n to_o the_o several_a church_n by_o verbal_a instruction_n but_o after_o these_o have_v be_v receive_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o such_o multitude_n that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o suspicion_n that_o a_o false_a representation_n of_o christ_n doctrine_n or_o action_n can_v be_v receive_v by_o those_o church_n than_o the_o wise_a providence_n of_o god_n take_v care_n for_o

the_o gospel_n be_v write_v no_o soon_o for_o all_o the_o church_n plant_v by_o the_o apostle_n be_v then_o make_v judge_n whether_o the_o gospel_n write_v be_v agreeable_a to_o the_o doctrine_n which_o the_o apostle_n have_v teach_v and_o if_o not_o there_o will_v have_v be_v just_a reason_n to_o have_v question_v either_o the_o truth_n of_o what_o have_v be_v teach_v they_o or_o what_o be_v
