any_o before_o they_o be_v hear_v i_o be_v not_o their_o judge_n alone_o nor_o will_v i_o be_v at_o this_o time_n only_o that_o it_o may_v appear_v i_o attend_v their_o plead_n as_o it_o become_v any_o in_o a_o court_n of_o justice_n i_o will_v give_v the_o world_n a_o account_n what_o those_o man_n say_v for_o themselves_o and_o so_o i_o shall_v leave_v they_o to_o be_v judge_v by_o wise_a man_n first_o they_o conceive_v there_o be_v some_o ordinance_n which_o be_v proper_a only_o to_o the_o church_n and_o church-officer_n belong_v only_o to_o church_n assembly_n such_o as_o be_v the_o administration_n of_o sacrament_n the_o confer_v of_o order_n and_o all_o of_o this_o nature_n these_o they_o think_v sacred_a such_o as_o may_v not_o be_v touch_v by_o any_o but_o church-officer_n and_o of_o these_o they_o say_v let_v vzza●_n take_v heed_n how_o he_o touch_v the_o ark_n though_o it_o shake_v but_o there_o be_v other_o ordinance_n they_o say_v of_o a_o middle_a nature_n as_o they_o be_v exercise_v in_o a_o church_n assembly_n by_o church-officer_n they_o may_v true_o be_v call_v church-ordinance_n yet_o be_v such_o as_o may_v be_v use_v out_o of_o church_n assembly_n and_o therefore_o probable_o by_o other_o th●n_a church-officer_n as_o pray_v read_v the_o scripture_n catechise_v exhortation_n and_o the_o like_a which_o as_o they_o conceive_v be_v not_o confine_v to_o the_o church_n only_o or_o church-officer_n 1._o because_o heathen_n and_o publican_n may_v be_v admit_v nay_o aught_o to_o be_v invite_v to_o these_o ordinance_n and_o it_o seem_v no_o mortal_a sin_n for_o a_o layman_n in_o china_n to_o call_v together_o a_o company_n of_o heathen_n and_o preach_v to_o they_o the_o christian_a religion_n yet_o here_o be_v no_o true_a church_n till_o a_o congregation_n will_v embrace_v this_o doctrine_n and_o join_v in_o serve_v god_n 2._o they_o conceive_v our_o state_n by_o public_a authority_n have_v and_o do_v allow_v so_o much_o as_o this._n for_o they_o see_v clerk_n even_o in_o public_a assembly_n read_v psalm_n prayer_n and_o oft_o some_o part_n of_o scripture_n deacon_n preach_v yea_o and_o baptise_v and_o help_v to_o administer_v the_o lord_n supper_n and_o yet_o no_o man_n take_v they_o for_o complete_a minister_n yea_o of_o old_a and_o perhaps_o now_o also_o by_o law_n they_o be_v not_o at_o all_o clergy_n man_n 3._o former_a preacher_n have_v teach_v they_o that_o every_o master_n of_o a_o family_n may_v and_o must_v read_v pray_v catechise_v and_o the_o like_a in_o his_o own_o family_n if_o he_o have_v none_o there_o that_o can_v do_v it_o better_o than_o himself_o therefore_o these_o seem_v rather_o to_o come_v under_o the_o notion_n of_o private_a duty_n rather_o than_o public_a church-ordinance_n though_o sometime_o they_o be_v perform_v in_o church_n yet_o other_o time_n they_o may_v be_v perform_v out_o of_o church_n and_o by_o those_o that_o be_v not_o public_a church_n officer_n therefore_o these_o poor_a man_n through_o their_o weakness_n think_v such_o ordinance_n free_a to_o be_v perform_v by_o any_o christian_a whether_o of_o the_o clergy_n or_o laity_n and_o their_o zeal_n make_v they_o conceive_v if_o god_n give_v gift_n of_o understanding_n memory_n judgement_n &_o utterance_n and_o a_o earnest_a desire_n to_o do_v good_a with_o these_o lest_o they_o wrap_v up_o their_o talon_n in_o a_o napkin_n they_o have_v the_o main_n to_o wit_n a_o inward_a call_v to_o perform_v these_o duty_n in_o their_o own_o family_n or_o else_o where_o if_o they_o have_v a_o outward_a call_v too_o for_o they_o solemn_o profess_v they_o hold_v it_o not_o fit_a to_o press_v or_o intrude_v themselves_o on_o any_o congregation_n but_o if_o any_o will_v come_v of_o themselves_o either_o to_o their_o own_o family_n or_o send_v for_o they_o and_o desire_v to_o hear_v they_o among_o some_o good_a man_n they_o take_v this_o for_o a_o call_v a_o outward_a call_n to_o perform_v those_o duty_n to_o that_o congregation_n for_o they_o think_v the_o way_n of_o god_n spirit_n be_v free_a and_o not_o tie_v to_o a_o university_n man_n so_o that_o have_v a_o inward_a call_n they_o conceive_v the_o desire_n of_o any_o one_o congregation_n be_v outward_a call_v sufficient_a though_o the_o bishop_n call_v not_o yea_o some_o exercise_n in_o god_n worship_n they_o think_v there_o be_v which_o be_v warrant_v from_o the_o gift_n that_o enable_v and_o not_o from_o the_o call_v that_o invite_v so_o that_o a_o man_n who_o god_n have_v enable_v with_o part_n and_o gift_n may_v use_v they_o though_o no_o man_n living_n call_v he_o and_o this_o also_o be_v the_o judgement_n of_o many_o learned_a man_n as_o of_o that_o ingenuous_a worthy_a learned_a man_n master_n thorndick_n of_o late_o touch_v on_o that_o of_o the_o corinth_n so_o long_o then_o as_o they_o encroach_v not_o on_o ordinance_n appropriate_a to_o church-officer_n they_o think_v they_o sin_v not_o in_o perform_v other_o duty_n where_o there_o be_v none_o that_o can_v or_o will_v perform_v they_o better_o they_o have_v learned_a latin_a enough_o to_o say_v bonum_fw-la quo_fw-la communius_fw-la eo_fw-la melius_fw-la they_o have_v read_v of_o moses_n wish_v all_o the_o lord_n people_n be_v prophet_n and_o that_o god_n will_v pour_v out_o his_o spirit_n on_o they_o all_o yea_o they_o have_v hear_v that_o god_n promise_v to_o pour_v out_o his_o spirit_n upon_o all_o flesh_n all_o believer_n as_o well_o lay_v as_o clergy_n so_o that_o young_a man_n shall_v see_v vision_n and_o old_a man_n dream_v dream_n and_o though_o this_o be_v begin_v to_o be_v accomplish_v even_o in_o our_o saviour_n time_n yet_o they_o perhaps_o through_o ignorance_n expect_v it_o shall_v be_v yet_o still_o more_o and_o more_o accomplish_v every_o day_n till_o knowledge_n cover_v the_o earth_n as_o water_n fill_v the_o sea_n even_o till_o there_o be_v no_o more_o need_n that_o any_o man_n shall_v teach_v his_o neighbour_n for_o all_o man_n shall_v know_v the_o lord_n and_o they_o poor_a man_n expect_v a_o new_a heaven_n and_o a_o new_a earth_n wherein_o there_o shall_v need_v no_o more_o temple_n of_o stone_n but_o all_o good_a man_n shall_v be_v prophet_n priest_n and_o king_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n they_o say_v water_n must_v flow_v out_o of_o the_o belly_n of_o all_o that_o believe_v till_o at_o length_n the_o great_a water_n of_o the_o sanctuary_n flow_v forth_o without_o measure_n yea_o they_o be_v much_o encourage_v from_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o church_n in_o the_o act_n where_o

time_n where_o the_o church_n be_v so_o much_o unsettle_a and_o have_v be_v so_o much_o persecute_v in_o some_o place_n they_o see_v no_o minister_n scarce_o any_o in_o some_o whole_a shire_n as_o
