ministry_n to_o be_v corrupt_v with_o such_o fault_n of_o all_o the_o man_n in_o the_o world_n for_o it_o become_v they_o as_o they_o ought_v to_o teach_v the_o truth_n unto_o their_o flock_n so_o

it_o be_v lawful_a for_o the_o minister_n to_o use_v it_o as_o his_o own_o gen._n and_o i_o think_v it_o be_v more_o lawful_a for_o you_o to_o use_v it_o as_o your_o own_o when_o you_o once_o have_v

reason_n for_o these_o matter_n i_o never_o hard_a man_n so_o dislike_v with_o these_o thing_n as_o you_o do_v before_o gen._n these_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o cause_v i_o to_o think_v that_o the_o have_v of_o more_o than_o one_o benefice_n for_o one_o man_n to_o be_v unlawful_a first_o because_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o one_o man_n to_o have_v more_o than_o one_o man_n can_v discharge_v second_o that_o the_o minister_n shall_v not_o the_o so_o feed_v with_o the_o vain_a desire_n of_o this_o corrupt_a world_n that_o it_o may_v draw_v he_o from_o the_o love_n of_o the_o world_n to_o
