and_o grow_a towards_o the_o high_a place_n that_o they_o may_v be_v sincere_a and_o zealous_a for_o the_o truth_n because_o though_o they_o be_v no_o preacher_n as_o neither_o jehoshaphats_n prince_n

we_o preach_v by_o the_o authority_n of_o god_n one_o father_n of_o we_o all_o so_o we_o desire_v which_o be_v the_o next_o thereto_o that_o they_o will_v be_v patron_n of_o our_o write_n which_o we_o set_v forth_o with_o the_o same_o mind_n for_o the_o common_a edification_n of_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n that_o when_o it_o be_v see_v that_o such_o as_o be_v in_o high_a place_n and_o zealous_a
