as_o the_o ●est_n have_v promise_v this_o to_o god_n which_o be_v a_o vow_n it_o appear_v in_o the_o text_n where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o lie_v not_o unto_o man_n but_o unto_o god_n in_o not_o

of_o the_o whole_a church_n in_o jerusalem_n yet_o 4._o be_v it_o not_o say_v of_o they_o that_o they_o sell_v all_o they_o have_v yea_o the_o contrary_n may_v reasonable_o be_v gather_v by_o the_o fact_n of_o 37._o barnabas_n and_o 1._o ananias_n of_o who_o it_o be_v record_v that_o they_o sell_v each_o of_o they_o a_o possession_n that_o he_o have_v and_o lay_v down_o the_o money_n at_o the_o apostle_n foot_n now_o to_o imagine_v that_o they_o have_v no_o other_o good_n and_o chattel_n but_o that_o land_n nor_o any_o movable_n be_v a_o conceit_n unwarrantable_a by_o any_o reason_n ananias_n and_o sapphiras_n mind_n be_v to_o make_v a_o show_n of_o more_o bounty_n than_o they_o have_v any_o will_n to_o perform_v that_o they_o have_v make_v any_o vow_n or_o promise_v to_o god_n of_o any_o such_o sale_n can_v be_v prove_v by_o the_o text_n but_o rather_o the_o contrary_a because_o the_o apostle_n peter_n say_v that_o it_o be_v in_o his_o choice_n before_o he_o sell_v it_o whether_o he_o will_v sell_v it_o or_o no_o and_o that_o after_o he_o have_v sell_v it_o it_o be_v in_o his_o own_o power_n viz._n to_o give_v all_o or_o half_a of_o it_o as_o he_o think_v good_a the_o lie_n he_o make_v be_v to_o say_v that_o he_o have_v bring_v in_o all_o the_o money_n he_o sell_v it_o for_o whereas_o he_o keep_v back_o part_n i_o have_v stand_v the_o long_a upon_o this_o

himself_o as_o by_o the_o vow_n of_o poverty_n you_o cast_v yourselves_o into_o a_o state_n of_o beggary_n your_o assumption_n also_o be_v false_a neither_o our_o saviour_n his_o apostle_n nor_o
