will_v never_o keep_v up_o their_o authority_n in_o the_o family_n if_o they_o be_v vain_a or_o vicious_a every_o one_o will_v despise_v they_o so_o minister_n must_v excel_v in_o all_o excellent_a and_o eminent_a manner_n and_o practice_n and_o give_v all_o good_a example_n to_o their_o people_n so_o they_o be_v enjoin_v not_o as_o lord_n over_o god_n heritage_n 4._o pet._n 5.3_o tim._n 4._o

their_o authority_n over_o and_o their_o respect_n from_o the_o household_n of_o god_n so_o st._n paul_n direct_v timothy_n to_o do_v have_v command_v he_o 12._o 1_o tim._n 4_o 12._o let_v no_o man_n
