here_o than_o we_o learn_v what_o to_o judge_v of_o those_o function_n with_o their_o gift_n which_o christ_n have_v give_v for_o the_o perfect_a build_n up_o of_o his_o church_n to_o wit_n as_o of_o the_o excellent_a and_o singular_a grace_n of_o god_n for_o the_o office_n of_o the_o pastor_n and_o doctor_n and_o elder_a the_o deacon_n the_o attender_n upon_o the_o poor_a and_o impotent_a together_o with_o this_o of_o the_o apostle_n be_v all_o stream_n flow_v from_o one_o spring_n or_o head_n by_o the_o which_o the_o manifold_a grace_n of_o god_n and_o water_n of_o eternal_a life_n

let_v all_o man_n of_o what_o calling_n or_o authority_n soever_o they_o be_v take_v heed_n least_o by_o themselves_o by_o other_o or_o by_o any_o other_o mean_v they_o stop_v and_o damn_n up_o these_o heavenlye_a stream_n of_o water_n which_o shall_v run_v into_o the_o lord_n vineyard_n to_o water_v it_o or_o else_o lest_o they_o defile_v and_o corrupt_v these_o water_n with_o cast_v into_o

we_o be_v such_o &_o so_o y_z t_z they_o can_v abide_v either_o addition_n detraction_n or_o change_v such_o also_o be_v the_o giver_n hereof_o y_z t_z as_o he_o be_v jealous_a over_o they_o so_o he_o
