in_o divine_a thing_n and_o heavenly_a ordinance_n now_o i_o come_v to_o the_o chief_a masterpiece_n or_o goliath_n with_o his_o armour-bearer_n way_n and_o that_o be_v whether_o we_o in_o these_o our_o time_n may_v not_o attain_v to_o this_o uniformity_n in_o a_o warrantable_a way_n without_o much_o offend_v any_o good_a conscience_n though_o weak_a that_o so_o we_o may_v attain_v to_o this_o

name_v some_o point_n of_o doctrine_n which_o those_o that_o stand_v for_o the_o presbyterial_a government_n or_o near_a it_o do_v hold_v and_o maintain_v the_o which_o those_o that_o do_v dissent_n from_o we_o do_v oppose_v some_o of_o they_o in_o one_o point_n and_o some_o of_o they_o in_o another_o point_n etc._n etc._n the_o which_o point_n be_v not_o among_o most_o of_o we_o hold_v to_o be_v

without_o they_o if_o they_o can_v hold_v and_o continue_v so_o to_o the_o end_n of_o their_o day_n and_o their_o seed_n also_o successive_o but_o those_o thing_n we_o differ_v in_o be_v such_o as_o be_v to_o maintain_v and_o preserve_v we_o in_o those_o fundamentals_n chief_o and_o without_o which_o we_o can_v long_o stand_v upon_o they_o but_o shall_v fall_v off_o and_o these_o point_n do_v

perhaps_o i_o will_v insert_v a_o few_o more_o point_n too_o and_o produce_v what_o scripture_n i_o can_v remember_v to_o clear_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o point_n and_o bring_v divers_a reason_n for_o some_o point_n too_o by_o which_o mean_v many_o may_v not_o pretend_v liberty_n of_o conscience_n without_o just_a cause_n and_o bring_v ruin_n to_o the_o whole_a body_n spiritual_a to_o name_v these_o point_n in_o order_n strict_o i_o will_v not_o promise_v content_a to_o every_o one_o etc._n and_o first_o for_o the_o church_n viz._n who_o be_v it_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v in_o strict_a

that_o be_v thus_o those_o that_o profess_v to_o be_v save_v by_o faith_n in_o christ_n jesus_n according_a to_o the_o fundamentals_n contain_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o be_v partaker_n of_o his_o ordinance_n and_o frame_v their_o life_n according_a to_o his_o commandment_n now_o herein_o we_o differ_v much_o about_o this_o latter_a part_n the_o independent_n and_o we_o presbyterial_n

will_n reveal_v in_o his_o word_n be_v also_o as_o true_a for_o in_o a_o certain_a place_n god_n promise_v to_o send_v they_o pastor_n that_o shall_v teach_v they_o with_o knowledge_n and_o understanding_n and_o when_o the_o people_n under_o king_n saul_n government_n be_v well_o humble_v and_o bring_v down_o by_o his_o oppress_v they_o then_o god_n hear_v their_o cry_n and_o pity_v they_o in_o their_o misery_n and_o provide_v they_o a_o bless_a guide_n and_o feeder_n of_o they_o with_o knowledge_n and_o understanding_n viz._n the_o kingly_a prophet_n david_n thus_o you_o may_v see_v that_o it_o be_v the_o love_n of_o god_n to_o we_o in_o give_v we_o able_a teacher_n the_o which_o we_o shall_v have_v when_o we_o live_v obedient_o to_o he_o with_o all_o our_o heart_n according_a to_o his_o will_n reveal_v in_o his_o word_n and_o thus_o much_o shall_v serve_v for_o this_o point_n viz._n who_o ought_v to_o be_v the_o public_a teacher_n and_o also_o some_o objection_n answer_v and_o i_o have_v conclude_v that_o those_o that_o be_v best_a able_a aught_o to_o be_v the_o public_a preacher_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o the_o people_n but_o now_o follow_v in_o good_a order_n another_o point_n gospel_n and_o this_o be_v a_o special_a one_o too_o and_o this_o point_n the_o independent_a party_n for_o some_o congregation_n at_o least_o and_o almost_o all_o sectary_n be_v against_o i_o in_o only_o the_o presbyterial_n be_v on_o my_o side_n and_o this_o point_n be_v concerning_o the_o prove_v allow_v and_o ordain_v these_o preacher_n for_o the_o work_n of_o this_o great_a ministration_n i_o shall_v for_o this_o pitch_n upon_o scripture_n in_o the_o first_o place_n and_o after_o that_o confirm_v the_o point_n by_o reason_n and_o my_o reason_n will_v be_v strong_a i_o be_o sure_a this_o question_n be_v who_o ought_v to_o ordain_v the_o preacher_n of_o the_o gospel_n gospel_n i_o answer_v that_o chief_o and_o ordinary_o at_o the_o least_o the_o preacher_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n ought_v to_o do_v it_o and_o the_o first_o scripture_n be_v act._n 14._o 23._o and_o when_o they_o have_v ordain_v they_o elder_n in_o every_o

of_o ver._n 21._o if_o you_o doubt_v whether_o these_o be_v preach_v elder_n that_o the_o apostle_n do_v there_o ordain_v i_o must_v say_v that_o it_o be_v very_o likely_a they_o be_v but_o if_o not_o yet_o it_o make_v for_o my_o point_n in_o hand_n for_o if_o it_o belong_v unto_o the_o apostle_n to_o ordain_v inferior_a elder_n than_o i_o be_o sure_a you_o will_v grant_v i_o the_o other_o viz._n that_o they_o do_v ordain_v the_o preach_n elder_n i_o can_v prove_v it_o out_o of_o other_o scripture_n plain_o but_o i_o know_v you_o will_v not_o oppose_v i_o in_o this_o but_o here_o be_v another_o objection_n and_o that_o be_v this_o although_o the_o apostle_n do_v it_o yet_o we_o be_v not_o to_o follow_v that_o rule_n still_o unless_o we_o have_v a_o command_n leave_v unto_o we_o so_o to_o do_v for_o evermore_o successive_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o what_o the_o apostle_n do_v then_o be_v for_o our_o imitation_n in_o that_o particular_a for_o they_o do_v not_o give_v or_o leave_v any_o other_o order_n or_o rule_v to_o we_o in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v say_v as_o paul_n say_v whatseever_n be_v write_v be_v write_v for_o our_o instruction_n gospel_n but_o i_o will_v proceed_v to_o other_o text_n titus_n 1._o 5._o to_o the_o end_n of_o ver._n 9_o these_o be_v the_o word_n for_o this_o cause_n leave_v i_o thou_o in_o cre●e_n that_o thou_o shall_v set_v in_o order_n the_o thing_n that_o be_v want_v and_o ordain_v elder_n in_o every_o city_n as_o i_o have_v appoint_v thou_o that_o these_o be_v preach_v elder_n which_o titus_n be_v to_o ordain_v or_o at_o least_o some_o of_o they_o be_v apparent_a in_o verse_n 7._o for_o those_o that_o in_o ver._n 5._o paul_n have_v call_v elder_n he_o in_o this_o verse_n call_v

by_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o now_o timothy_n must_v commit_v the_o doctrine_n or_o the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o other_o that_o he_o can_v find_v able_a and_o fit_a to_o

be_v to_o be_v so_o commit_v etc._n here_o you_o may_v see_v that_o the_o common_a hearer_n be_v not_o to_o ordain_v the_o preacher_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o true_a reason_n thereof_o be_v render_v in_o 2_o tim._n 3._o 10._o in_o these_o word_n thou_o have_v full_o know_v my_o doctrine_n etc._n etc._n it_o seem_v paul_n know_v well_o that_o those_o that_o be_v best_o able_a in_o

who_o in_o ver._n 1._o he_o call_v bishop_n yea_o he_o have_v character_n give_v he_o also_o whereby_o he_o may_v know_v how_o to_o choose_v fit_a and_o able_a deacon_n also_o as_o in_o ver._n 8_o 9_o 10._o be_v to_o be_v see_v and_o they_o do_v use_v to_o lay_v hand_n on_o they_o that_o they_o ordain_v for_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n at_o that_o time_n ordain_v as_o in_o 1_o

he_o to_o be_v a_o preacher_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o also_o in_o heb._n 6._o 2._o alas_o if_o every_o one_o may_v be_v permit_v to_o preach_v that_o will_v do_v it_o we_o ●hen_o must_v needs_o have_v a_o babel_n therefore_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v prove_v by_o the_o preacher_n of_o the_o gospel_n before_o they_o do_v preach_v and_o now_o i_o demand_v of_o those_o that_o will_v have_v every_o congregation_n ordain_v their_o own_o pastor_n or_o preacher_n why_o those_o that_o be_v in_o the_o synod_n or_o minister_n like_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v the_o ordainer_n of_o man_n for_o to_o be_v the_o preacher_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n rather_o than_o those_o that_o be_v more_o ignorant_a by_o thousand_o of_o particular_n in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o so_o many_o honest_a man_n there_o too_o what_o be_v they_o not_o so_o i_o say_v they_o be_v and_o able_a and_o honest_a too_o but_o put_v case_n some_o shall_v be_v think_v otherwise_o you_o know_v that_o no_o company_n of_o any_o sort_n be_v usual_o so_o entire_o good_a but_o that_o some_o may_v be_v defective_a what_o think_v you_o of_o yourselves_o may_v there_o not_o be_v some_o worse_a than_o other_o nay_o may_v there_o not_o be_v hypocrite_n and_o varlet_n too_o if_o so_o than_o you_o every_o way_n be_v worse_o than_o the_o learned_a and_o therefore_o every_o way_n more_o unfit_a for_o to_o ordain_v man_n to_o be_v preacher_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n now_o a_o touch_n of_o one_o thing_n more_o and_o then_o i_o will_v pass_v to_o another_o point_n and_o this_o be_v somewhat_o differ_v from_o the_o
