sweet_a saviour_n that_o in_o he_o be_v nothing_o but_o love_n and_o mercy_n and_o goodness_n and_o compassion_n and_o kindness_n to_o such_o as_o be_v in_o distress_n and_o in_o grievous_a fear_n

and_o every_o one_o of_o they_o say_v with_o david_n and_o with_o paul_n i_o believe_v therefore_o have_v i_o speak_v so_o that_o we_o be_v not_o to_o conceive_v of_o the_o spiritual_a church_n according_a believer_n the_o true_a ministry_n be_v only_o of_o believer_n to_o any_o outward_a state_n or_o condition_n in_o the_o world_n but_o according_a to_o faith_n through_o which_o christ_n

and_o there_o be_v no_o true_a and_o right_o confess_v christ_n without_o hold_v forth_o the_o word_n and_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n so_o then_o every_o one_o that_o be_v of_o god_n speak_v god_n word_n and_o he_o that_o speak_v it_o not_o be_v not_o of_o god_n for_o in_o all_o the_o true_a child_n of_o god_n the_o spirit_n of_o their_o father_n speak_v in_o they_o and_o thus_o the_o

of_o the_o world_n as_o i_o be_o not_o of_o the_o world_n wherefore_o every_o true_a christian_a who_o speak_v and_o profess_v the_o word_n of_o faith_n the_o word_n which_o exalt_v christ_n alone_a

the_o word_n sake_n suffer_v all_o the_o hatred_n malice_n and_o rage_n of_o the_o world_n and_o worldly_a church_n they_o be_v great_o offend_v at_o they_o and_o in_o be_v offend_v at_o they_o they_o be_v offend_v at_o christ_n himself_o for_o it_o be_v his_o cause_n in_o which_o they_o suffer_v and_o not_o their_o own_o and_o it_o be_v he_o who_o suffer_v in_o his_o cause_n more_o than_o they_o

of_o his_o ministry_n his_o doctrine_n be_v so_o contrary_a to_o carnal_a reason_n and_o the_o humane_a apprehension_n of_o man_n in_o matter_n of_o religion_n that_o many_o of_o his_o disciple_n

all_o along_o during_o christ_n ministry_n many_o be_v snare_v and_o stumble_v and_o fall_v and_o be_v break_v thereby_o and_o he_o that_o be_v trouble_v and_o offend_v at_o this_o must_v get_v he_o

his_o gospel_n let_v we_o know_v that_o thus_o it_o have_v be_v from_o the_o beginning_n and_o let_v u●_n know_v that_o as_o christ_n and_o his_o gospel_n be_v the_o same_o now_o as_o they_o be_v

wherefore_o to_o deliver_v we_o from_o the_o scandal_n of_o all_o man_n be_v offend_v against_o christ_n we_o be_v to_o consider_v that_o as_o all_o the_o world_n have_v be_v be_v and_o will_v be_v
