A93732 Because that in the following discourse the reason is recited and answered, why my ministry is rejected and not received by this ignorant, but more especially corrupt world; therefore I thought it expedient and necessary to publish the same.

very_a cause_n what_o a_o stir_n be_v there_o against_o paul_n make_v by_o demetrius_n and_o his_o fellow_n craft_n man_n when_o he_o preach_v against_o the_o idolatry_n of_o the_o people_n of_o athens_n and_o so_o he_o mention_n that_o he_o be_v evil_o entreat_v at_o philippi_n for_o the_o like_a reason_n the_o inhabitant_n of_o both_o place_n do_v imagine_v that_o they_o do_v please_v atone_v and_o worship_n the_o great_a god_n of_o the_o world_n by_o those_o their_o idolatrous_a and_o superstitious_a rite_n and_o custom_n but_o when_o the_o apostle_n do_v from_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o most_o high_a god_n contradict_v they_o therein_o than_o the_o heathen_a be_v in_o a_o rage_n by_o have_v hear_v that_o heretofore_o themselves_o follow_v a_o vain_a thing_n the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o apostle_n paul_n as_o to_o this_o matter_n be_v exact_o fit_v and_o apply_v against_o these_o their_o false_a imagination_n god_n that_o make_v the_o world_n and_o all_o thing_n
