in_o this_o life_n the_o first_o argument_n be_v from_o the_o appointment_n of_o god_n god_n have_v so_o appoint_v from_o all_o eternity_n that_o they_o shall_v suffer_v therefore_o see_v that_o

that_o in_o the_o verse_n follow_v he_o show_v what_o effect_n that_o report_n of_o timothy_n wrought_v in_o he_o it_o bring_v to_o he_o joy_n and_o consolation_n notwithstanding_o of_o all_o his_o

come_v back_o again_o the_o text_n contain_v a_o plain_a narrative_n wherefore_o say_v he_o when_o i_o can_v no_o long_o forbear_v i_o send_v timothy_n to_o you_o of_o this_o we_o speak_v the_o last_o

wherefore_o he_o send_v timothy_n one_o for_o their_o cause_n to_o establish_v they_o a_o other_o for_o his_o own_o cause_n that_o he_o himself_o may_v understand_v of_o their_o perseverance_n in_o

where_o all_o the_o sense_n lie_v the_o head_n be_v the_o fountain_n of_o all_o the_o sense_n and_o move_a of_o the_o body_n and_o so_o he_o will_v put_v on_o a_o helmet_n to_o save_v his_o head_n if_o these_o two_o part_n be_v well_o preserve_v from_o wound_n he_o will_v regard_v the_o less_o of_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o body_n if_o a_o wound_n be_v receyve_v in_o the_o heart_n no_o life_n a_o

behind_o that_o the_o heart_n receyve_v not_o a_o wound_n neither_o at_o back_n nor_o breast_n so_o the_o breastplate_n of_o a_o christian_a warrior_n be_v build_v up_o of_o two_o part_n the_o fore_a
