he_o only_o give_v himself_o the_o common_a title_n of_o a_o elder_a when_o he_o have_v any_o occasion_n to_o mention_v himself_o in_o his_o gospel_n and_o that_o in_o thing_n much_o tend_v to_o his_o

that_o when_o the_o other_o apostle_n prefix_v their_o name's_n and_o most_o of_o they_o their_o high_a call_n that_o it_o be_v do_v out_o of_o vain_a glory_n but_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n lex_fw-la we_o may_v just_o conclude_v it_o a_o testimony_n of_o great_a humility_n in_o this_o apostle_n that_o he_o suppress_v his_o name_n his_o office_n by_o silence_n thus_o while_o he_o be_v high_a in_o

he_o be_v poor_a in_o spirit_n scarce_o think_v himself_o worthy_a of_o a_o name_n oh_o let_v we_o learn_v by_o his_o pattern_n not_o to_o affect_v our_o own_o praise_n nor_o speak_v high_a thing_n

in_o persecute_v time_n it_o be_v that_o our_o saviour_n at_o least_o allow_v his_o
