first_o publish_v to_o the_o world_n because_o the_o law_n be_v then_o give_v by_o writing_n though_o afterward_o preach_v it_o be_v call_v the_o ministration_n of_o the_o letter_n so_o the_o gospel_n

which_o st._n paul_n speak_v of_o the_o hear_n of_o faith_n and_o of_o save_v man_n by_o the_o foolishness_n of_o preach_v have_v a_o peculiar_a relation_n to_o christianity_n in_o the_o manner_n of_o sound_v it_o at_o first_o for_o certain_o preach_v in_o itself_o be_v not_o in_o the_o eye_n of_o humane_a wisdom_n a_o foolish_a way_n to_o persuade_v but_o such_o as_o the_o wise_a of_o they_o all_o use_v when_o they_o will_v persuade_v the_o people_n any_o thing_n they_o do_v it_o by_o oration_n and_o speech_n which_o be_v of_o the_o same_o kind_n with_o preach_v but_o if_o we_o look_v at_o that_o preach_n by_o which_o the_o christian_a religion_n be_v at_o first_o introduce_v it_o have_v in_o the_o eye_n of_o humane_a wisdom_n something_o of_o folly_n in_o it_o for_o to_o introduce_v a_o law_n or_o religion_n to_o any_o people_n these_o two_o thing_n among_o other_o be_v necessary_a that_o they_o give_v it_o in_o write_v that_o they_o may_v more_o certain_o know_v what_o they_o have_v to_o do_v and_o that_o it_o be_v by_o such_o as_o have_v authority_n and_o power_n and_o this_o way_n god_n himself_o take_v in_o give_v the_o jew_n a_o law_n for_o first_o he_o write_v it_o with_o his_o own_o finger_n and_o then_o publish_v it_o by_o the_o ministry_n of_o moses_n who_o be_v their_o leader_n and_o governor_n but_o for_o the_o introduction_n of_o the_o gospel_n it_o please_v god_n to_o take_v a_o far_o different_a course_n that_o be_v to_o commit_v all_o to_o the_o preach_n of_o a_o few_o poor_a despicable_a fisherman_n who_o be_v only_o private_a man_n of_o no_o

no_o better_a than_o a_o distemper_n yea_o plain_a drunkenness_n yet_o thus_o it_o please_v god_n to_o put_v the_o word_n of_o eternal_a life_n into_o these_o earthen_a vessel_n and_o by_o that_o mean_n to_o make_v his_o own_o power_n know_v and_o by_o that_o folly_n to_o confound_v the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o world_n but_o for_o our_o preach_n though_o it_o may_v have_v many_o time_n too_o good_a a_o title_n to_o foolishness_n in_o preach_v yet_o not_o to_o the_o foolishness_n of_o preach_v for_o those_o obstacle_n remove_v it_o be_v the_o ordinary_a way_n by_o which_o all_o knowledge_n
