last_o if_o we_o will_v never_o forsake_v the_o fellowship_n we_o have_v one_o with_o another_o as_o the_o manner_n of_o some_o wicked_a hypocrite_n and_o damnable_a apostate_n be_v than_o we_o must_v

appear_v diverse_o first_o by_o the_o usual_a sin_n which_o be_v rife_o among_o they_o even_o such_o as_o batter_v the_o fortress_n of_o love._n how_o can_v they_o please_v themselves_o in_o their_o

of_o christ._n there_o may_v be_v seven_o observation_n gather_v out_o of_o this_o speech_n of_o the_o apostle_n first_o that_o doctrine_n only_o be_v true_a which_o be_v agreeable_a to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o apostle_n by_o which_o the_o world_n be_v convert_v to_o god_n second_o we_o may_v see_v that_o no_o power_n be_v like_o the_o power_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n here_o it_o convert_v a_o world_n in_o a_o short_a time_n and_o our_o eye_n have_v behold_v that_o it_o have_v almost_o in_o as_o short_a time_n restore_v a_o world_n of_o man_n from_o the_o power_n of_o antichrist_n three_o we_o may_v by_o this_o phrase_n be_v inform_v that_o the_o word_n all_o and_o every_o one_o be_v not_o always_o in_o scripture_n to_o be_v understand_v universal_o of_o all_o the_o singular_a person_n in_o the_o world_n as_o the_o universalist_n conceive_v four_o they_o be_v but_o a_o few_o fisherman_n that_o do_v this_o great_a work_n and_o they_o be_v much_o oppose_v and_o persecute_v and_o in_o some_o less_o matter_n they_o iar_v sometime_o among_o themselves_o whence_o we_o may_v observe_v that_o doctrine_n may_v be_v exceed_o effectual_a though_o 1._o but_o few_o teach_v it_o 2._o though_o they_o be_v but_o of_o mean_a estate_n and_o condition_n 3._o though_o it_o be_v oppose_v by_o cross_n and_o contrary_a teach_n 4._o though_o it_o be_v persecute_v 5._o though_o the_o people_n be_v indispose_v and_o muzzle_v in_o sin_n and_o superstition_n as_o these_o gentile_n be_v 6._o though_o the_o preacher_n be_v often_o restrain_v 7._o though_o there_o be_v some_o dissension_n in_o less_o matter_n the_o five_o thing_n that_o may_v be_v gather_v hence_o be_v that_o in_o the_o conversion_n of_o sinner_n god_n be_v no_o respecter_n of_o person_n man_n of_o any_o age_n nation_n sex_n condition_n life_n or_o quality_n may_v be_v convert_v by_o the_o gospel_n and_o sixth_o it_o be_v plain_a here_o that_o preach_v be_v the_o ordinary_a mean_n to_o

belong_v to_o we_o to_o look_v to_o ourselves_o to_o who_o the_o gospel_n be_v come_v thus_o of_o the_o first_o reason_n the_o second_o reason_n be_v take_v from_o the_o testimony_n of_o paul_n and_o he_o give_v a_o double_a testimony_n 1._o by_o his_o ministry_n 2._o by_o his_o suffering_n whereof_o i_o paul_n be_o he_o minister_v out_o of_o these_o word_n many_o thing_n may_v be_v note_v first_o in_o that_o the_o apostle_n notwithstanding_o all_o the_o disgrace_n and_o trouble_n that_o befall_v he_o for_o the_o gospel_n do_v yet_o lift_v up_o the_o mention_n of_o his_o ministry_n therein_o as_o a_o inducement_n to_o the_o ephesian_n it_o may_v teach_v we_o that_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n truth_n be_v such_o as_o no_o man_n need_v to_o be_v ashamed_a to_o teach_v or_o profess_v it_o nay_o there_o can_v be_v no_o man_n or_o woman_n to_o who_o it_o may_v not_o be_v their_o chief_a glory_n whatsoever_o carnal_a worldling_n or_o timorous_a nicodemite_n conceive_v of_o it_o second_o in_o that_o so_o great_a a_o apostle_n do_v not_o disdain_v to_o yield_v his_o testimony_n of_o purpose_n to_o show_v that_o epaphras_n their_o preacher_n have_v teach_v nothing_o but_o what_o he_o have_v likewise_o teach_v it_o show_v that_o it_o be_v the_o property_n of_o faithful_a and_o humble_a minister_n to_o strengthen_v the_o heart_n and_o hand_n of_o their_o brethren_n though_o they_o be_v their_o inferior_n and_o then_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o they_o be_v proud_a and_o envious_a and_o malicious_a person_n that_o by_o cross_n teach_v labour_n to_o increase_v their_o bond_n who_o god_n have_v honour_v with_o success_n in_o their_o labour_n in_o the_o gospel_n such_o be_v they_o that_o in_o many_o place_n strive_v to_o pull_v down_o as_o fast_o as_o other_o build_v make_v havoc_n in_o the_o church_n and_o bend_v their_o whole_a might_n in_o their_o ministry_n to_o hinder_v the_o sincerity_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o conversion_n of_o sinner_n three_o in_o that_o
