kind_n of_o speak_v that_o god_n do_v assist_v so_o as_o to_o bring_v it_o to_o the_o heart_n of_o his_o people_n what_o speak_v be_v that_o you_o will_v say_v that_o that_o come_v from_o the_o

yet_o ordinary_o that_o that_o come_v from_o the_o heart_n go_v to_o the_o heart_n therefore_o minister_n when_o they_o come_v to_o speak_v the_o great_a thing_n of_o the_o gospel_n they_o shall_v not_o seek_v so_o much_o for_o brave_a word_n and_o entice_a way_n of_o man_n wisdom_n but_o let_v they_o get_v their_o own_o heart_n warm_v with_o that_o grace_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o then_o they_o be_v most_o like_a to_o speak_v to_o the_o heart_n of_o their_o auditor_n it_o be_v a_o good_a note_n that_o i_o have_v meet_v with_o from_o ribera_n let_v minister_n remit_v say_v he_o of_o their_o care_n of_o fine_a curious_a word_n ribera_n of_o brave_a neat_a phrase_n and_o cadency_n of_o their_o sentence_n but_o let_v they_o bend_v their_o study_n to_o manifest_a humility_n and_o

sound_a brass_n and_o the_o tinkle_a cymbal_n this_o be_v a_o expression_n even_o of_o a_o jesuit_n it_o be_v then_o a_o great_a shame_n that_o god_n minister_n shall_v not_o labour_v to_o speak_v so_o as_o that_o they_o may_v speak_v to_o the_o heart_n of_o people_n you_o must_v be_v desirous_a of_o such_o kind_n of_o preach_v as_o you_o find_v speak_v to_o your_o heart_n not_o that_o that_o

speak_v to_o they_o but_o when_o you_o find_v a_o ministry_n speak_v to_o your_o heart_n close_o with_o it_o bless_v god_n for_o it_o and_o count_v it_o a_o sad_a day_n when_o you_o go_v from_o a_o
