that_o of_o which_o the_o apostle_n speak_v in_o the_o 13_o v._o of_o this_o chap._n they_o who_o have_v use_v the_o office_n of_o a_o deacon_n well_o purchase_v to_o themselves_o a_o good_a degree_n so_o it_o be_v by_o have_v use_v the_o other_o office_n in_o the_o church_n well_o that_o man_n purchase_v to_o themselves_o this_o degree_n which_o be_v the_o high_a of_o they_o all_o and_o as_o the_o philosopher_n say_v they_o who_o will_v choose_v a_o fit_a pilot_n to_o govern_v a_o ship_n do_v not_o choose_v a_o man_n because_o he_o be_v the_o rich_a or_o because_o he_o be_v the_o noble_a or_o because_o he_o be_v the_o comely_a person_n among_o they_o but_o because_o he_o be_v the_o able_a and_o most_o likely_a to_o do_v his_o work_n well_o so_o it_o have_v be_v and_o be_v the_o way_n in_o choose_v man_n to_o sit_v at_o the_o stern_a in_o the_o government_n of_o our_o church_n to_o make_v choice_n of_o the_o most_o able_a and_o worthy_a man_n who_o can_v more_o desire_v the_o office_n of_o a_o bishop_n than_o the_o office_n of_o a_o bishop_n desire_v they_o and_o now_o to_o conclude_v all_o in_o a_o word_n it_o be_v say_v of_o one_o of_o the_o emperor_n that_o he_o get_v nothing_o by_o come_v to_o the_o empire_n but_o the_o opportunity_n of_o be_v able_a to_o do_v as_o much_o good_a as_o he_o be_v willing_a so_o it_o be_v the_o happiness_n of_o our_o church_n to_o see_v such_o man_n promote_v to_o the_o high_a office_n in_o it_o as_o aim_v only_o at_o a_o power_n to_o do_v all_o the_o good_a which_o they_o be_v willing_a to_o do_v before_o and_o as_o it_o be_v happy_a for_o the_o church_n so_o it_o be_v likewise_o happy_a for_o they_o for_o though_o the_o work_n be_v as_o great_a as_o it_o be_v good_a the_o reward_n will_v be_v great_a for_o when_o the_o chief_a shepherd_n shall_v appear_v 5.4_o 1_o pet._n 5.4_o you_o shall_v receive_v a_o crown_n of_o glory_n that_o fade_v not_o away_o the_o end_n
