because_o they_o have_v or_o shall_v have_v a_o tongue_n of_o the_o learned_a and_o shall_v know_v to_o minister_v a_o word_n in_o due_a time_n to_o he_o that_o be_v weary_a they_o have_v or_o shall_v

this_o unto_o you_o when_o you_o read_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v hard_a which_o you_o desire_v to_o understand_v but_o can_v when_o any_o great_a &_o grievous_a cross_n &_o calamity_n befall_v you_o and_o you_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o mean_n and_o know_v not_o how_o to_o be_v ease_v when_o you_o groan_n under_o the_o burden_n of_o your_o sin_n and_o find_v the_o hand_n of_o god_n heavy_a upon_o you_o so_o that_o you_o find_v not_o in_o yourselves_o the_o ground_n of_o sound_a comfort_n when_o any_o great_a and_o violent_a temptation_n which_o you_o can_v encounter_v take_v fast_o hold_v upon_o you_o so_o that_o you_o find_v it_o too_o strong_a for_o you_o to_o conclude_v when_o fear_n and_o anguish_n afflict_v your_o soul_n &_o your_o conscience_n be_v trouble_v so_o that_o you_o know_v not_o how_o to_o lay_v yourselves_o down_o in_o peace_n then_o desire_v some_o philip_n that_o he_o will_v come_v &_o sit_v with_o you_o desire_v some_o of_o god_n learned_a and_o faithful_a minister_n that_o they_o will_v abide_v with_o you_o and_o confer_v with_o you_o that_o so_o they_o may_v resolve_v your_o doubt_n and_o ease_v your_o grief_n but_o here_o i_o may_v take_v up_o a_o just_a complaint_n and_o lament_v the_o state_n of_o these_o time_n wherein_o there_o be_v so_o little_a or_o almost_o no_o use_n at_o all_o of_o conference_n either_o in_o secular_a learning_n wherein_o man_n be_v loath_a to_o confer_v with_o such_o as_o be_v more_o learned_a than_o themselves_o lest_o they_o shall_v bewray_v their_o own_o ignorance_n or_o in_o point_n of_o faith_n and_o case_n of_o conscience_n with_o god_n minister_n lest_o they_o shall_v thereby_o discover_v to_o they_o their_o error_n and_o imperfection_n but_o this_o complaint_n may_v soon_o be_v make_v than_o it_o can_v be_v remedy_v the_o second_o thing_n i_o note_v in_o these_o late_a word_n be_v philip_n readiness_n and_o his_o godly_a discretion_n his_o readiness_n in_o that_o he_o present_o follow_v the_o direction_n and_o appointment_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o respect_n whereof_o it_o be_v here_o say_v that_o he_o come_v to_o his_o chariot_n his_o godly_a discretion_n in_o that_o he_o take_v the_o present_a occasion_n and_o begin_v at_o that_o very_a scripture_n which_o the_o eunuch_n then_o read_v and_o preach_v christ_n unto_o he_o from_o hence_o we_o that_o be_v

where_o the_o mercy_n seat_n stand_v not_o to_o lead_v they_o along_o by_o tedious_a &_o wearisome_a path_n but_o to_o bring_v they_o the_o straight_a &_o near_a way_n to_o christ_n to_o take_v all_o

of_o which_o sermon_n with_o all_o the_o part_n and_o passage_n thereof_o be_v not_o set_v down_o as_o may_v be_v evident_o discern_v in_o that_o no_o mention_n be_v make_v in_o this_o chapter_n of_o

of_o god_n spirit_n move_v we_o to_o faith_n let_v we_o account_v of_o they_o as_o the_o wise_a man_n do_v of_o the_o star_n that_o appear_v unto_o they_o in_o the_o east_n math._n 2._o and_o as_o they_o follow_v the_o star_n so_o let_v we_o follow_v those_o motion_n and_o invitation_n of_o god_n spirit_n to_o faith_n for_o as_o they_o follow_v the_o star_n be_v bring_v at_o last_o even_o to_o the_o house_n where_o christ_n be_v so_o if_o we_o follow_v the_o motion_n and_o calling_n of_o god_n holy_a spirit_n they_o will_v bring_v we_o at_o the_o last_o to_o the_o house_n and_o place_n

be_v adulti_fw-la grow_v to_o full_a age_n or_o come_v to_o year_n of_o discretion_n before_o they_o come_v to_o baptism_n they_o must_v open_o profess_v their_o faith_n it_o be_v the_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n himself_o who_o first_o institute_v baptism_n &_o do_v himself_o first_o sanctify_v the_o element_n of_o water_n to_o that_o holy_a work_n or_o business_n that_o water_n shall_v be_v
