for_o that_o may_v be_v either_o by_o lay_v the_o foundation_n the_o principle_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n as_o the_o apostle_n call_v they_o heb._n 6.1_o which_o we_o call_v catechise_v

under_o the_o bushel_n and_o set_v up_o the_o sermon_n only_o we_o have_v need_n take_v heed_n how_o we_o hear_v that_o for_o if_o that_o wherein_o all_o our_o hope_n and_o confidence_n lie_v shall_v

that_o the_o power_n of_o it_o which_o consist_v in_o the_o evident_a conviction_n of_o truth_n be_v not_o lose_v in_o formality_n and_o impertinence_n common_o use_v in_o sermon_n as_o when_o

to_o the_o hearer_n the_o preacher_n give_v the_o doctrine_n but_o the_o hearer_n must_v make_v the_o use_n and_o application_n no_o preacher_n can_v say_v as_o nathan_n to_o david_n thou_o be_v the_o
