carnal_a man_n in_o the_o world_n with_o a_o love_n of_o pity_n but_o not_o with_o a_o love_n of_o complacency_n and_o delight_n and_o jesus_n christ_n expect_v it_o not_o but_o that_o we_o shall_v love_v as_o he_o love_v but_o then_o further_o what_o love_n shall_v we_o have_v such_o a_o love_n as_o indeed_o do_v tend_v to_o edification_n and_o do_v tend_v to_o reformation_n and_o such_o a_o

you_o be_v call_v with_o all_o lowliness_n and_o meekness_n forbear_v one_o another_o in_o love_n there_o be_v one_o body_n one_o spirit_n even_o as_o you_o be_v all_o call_v in_o one_o hope_n of_o

of_o argument_n in_o this_o first_o consider_v your_o vocation_n those_o privilege_n to_o which_o you_o be_v advance_v thereby_o and_o they_o leave_v a_o very_a great_a obligation_n upon_o you_o as_o saint_n to_o study_v unity_n second_o there_o be_v a_o argument_n from_o the_o equity_n of_o the_o thing_n 7._o in_o the_o 7._o verse_n unto_o every_o one_o of_o we_o be_v give_v grace_n according_a to_o the_o measure_n of_o the_o gift_n of_o christ_n unto_o every_o one_o of_o we_o every_o one_o have_v some_o gift_n as_o it_o please_v jesus_n christ_n to_o proportion_n out_o such_o a_o measure_n

mystical_a body_n of_o christ_n there_o be_v a_o equity_n in_o it_o three_o there_o be_v a_o very_a great_a congruity_n and_o that_o argument_n you_o shall_v find_v in_o the_o 8_o 9_o and_o 11_o verse_n 12._o jesus_n christ_n when_o he_o do_v ascend_v he_o give_v gift_n to_o man_n all_o the_o gift_n that_o be_v in_o the_o church_n and_o grace_n they_o be_v derive_v from_o the_o same_o

argument_n from_o the_o necessity_n of_o it_o 14._o till_o we_o all_o come_v to_o the_o unity_n of_o faith_n and_o that_o we_o be_v no_o more_o toss_v to_o and_o fro_o as_o child_n and_o carry_v up_o and_o down_o with_o every_o wind_n of_o doctrine_n but_o that_o we_o speak_v the_o truth_n in_o love_n and_o so_o grow_v up_o into_o jesus_n christ_n in_o all_o thing_n who_o be_v the_o head_n here_o be_v the_o necessity_n of_o it_o you_o will_v never_o grow_v up_o to_o intimate_v communion_n and_o fellowship_n with_o jesus_n christ_n you_o will_v never_o make_v a_o wise_a improvement_n of_o he_o as_o member_n of_o the_o mystical_a body_n unless_o you_o learn_v this_o heavenly_a skill_n namely_o how_o to_o advance_v unity_n and_o so_o i_o come_v to_o show_v you_o what_o proposition_n this_o last_o argument_n draw_v from_o the_o necessity_n of_o the_o thing_n 15._o will_v afford_v we_o in_o the_o 15._o verse_n which_o by_o god_n assistance_n according_a as_o the_o weak_a measure_n of_o
