A69570	An antidote against lay-preaching, or, The preachers plea in a discourse answering such objections which were given to a conscientious friend : who for his satisfaction requested a resolution : in which discourse is proved that preaching of the Word is a peculiar calling to be undertaken by none without a speciall call : and that more is required in such who undertake it than abilities : in which likewise other incidentall questions and cases concerning the profession of preachers are discussed.

themselves_o be_v immediate_o call_v to_o preach_v by_o christ_n so_o likewise_o all_o such_o who_o according_a to_o command_v apostolical_a be_v ordain_v be_v call_v by_o christ_n to_o preach_v but_o mediate_o namely_o by_o such_o who_o under_o christ_n be_v appoint_v to_o be_v over_o certain_a place_n to_o ordain_v preacher_n s._n paul_n tell_v titus_n 5._o that_o for_o this_o cause_n he_o

other_o also_o now_o these_o faithful_a man_n to_o who_o the_o apostle_n commit_v the_o power_n of_o ordination_n do_v ordain_v other_o and_o by_o this_o mean_v the_o order_n of_o preacher_n be_v successive_o to_o continue_v till_o christ_n second_o come_v so_o than_o they_o who_o christ_n call_v to_o preach_v be_v ordain_v thereunto_o by_o man_n who_o authority_n have_v be_v derive_v unto_o they_o from_o the_o apostle_n and_o the_o authority_n apostolical_a to_o ordain_v such_o who_o shall_v have_v power_n to_o ordain_v other_o be_v from_o god_n and_o according_o christ_n promise_v to_o be_v with_o they_o always_o 20._o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n namely_o in_o bless_v the_o ministry_n which_o according_a to_o your_o appointment_n from_o i_o be_v settle_v in_o my_o church_n i_o will_v be_v with_o they_o in_o the_o gift_n and_o assistance_n of_o the_o spirit_n who_o by_o ordination_n apostolical_a be_v send_v to_o teach_v all_o nation_n and_o baptise_v they_o while_o they_o teach_v they_o to_o observe_v whatsoever_o i_o command_v you_o the_o sum_n of_o this_o historical_a narration_n be_v this_o we_o can_v read_v in_o the_o old_a or_o new_a testament_n of_o any_o pious_a man_n be_v of_o another_o call_n who_o take_v on_o he_o to_o preach_v the_o word_n till_o he_o be_v call_v therefore_o i_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v a_o unlawful_a act_n without_o any_o holy_a precedent_n as_o this_o second_o reason_n show_v and_o likewise_o because_o it_o be_v without_o any_o precept_n as_o the_o first_o reason_n sufficient_o declare_v the_o second_o proposition_n be_v thereforetrue_a namely_o not_o any_o of_o another_o calling_n ought_v to_o dispense_v the_o word_n preach_o till_o they_o be_v thereunto_o call_v chap._n iii_o the_o three_o proposition_n in_o the_o call_n to_o preach_v more_o thing_n be_v require_v than_o endowment_n to_o preach_v without_o which_o thing_n no_o man_n have_v a_o call_n to_o that_o function_n or_o more_o brief_o thus_o more_o be_v require_v in_o the_o call_n to_o preach_v than_o ability_n thereunto_o the_o very_a relate_n of_o the_o sundry_a requisite_n to_o this_o call_v evidence_n the_o truth_n of_o this_o proposition_n they_o be_v in_o all_o three_o 1._o divine_a position_n into_o the_o function_n 2._o personal_a qualification_n for_o the_o discharge_n of_o it_o 3._o ecclesiastical_a authorization_n for_o its_o fulfillance_n that_o all_o these_o be_v requisite_a in_o the_o call_n to_o preach_v we_o may_v two_o way_n collect_v 1._o the_o church_n of_o christ_n be_v considerable_a both_o as_o it_o be_v a_o communion_n and_o society_n of_o the_o faithful_a who_o government_n so_o consider_v be_v spiritual_a it_o be_v rule_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n therefore_o it_o be_v requisite_a that_o whosoever_o be_v set_v over_o the_o flock_n of_o christ_n shall_v have_v his_o designation_n thereunto_o from_o christ_n divine_a position_n into_o this_o call_n be_v therefore_o needful_a hence_o our_o ministry_n among_o other_o reason_n be_v call_v the_o ministry_n of_o the_o spirit_n 8._o because_o as_o it_o be_v in_o spiritual_a thing_n so_o it_o be_v from_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n work_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o some_o according_a to_o his_o ordinance_n to_o undertake_v this_o call_n again_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n be_v also_o considerable_a as_o it_o be_v a_o external_a society_n and_o so_o according_a to_o the_o large_a circuit_n of_o it_o it_o have_v several_a company_n which_o be_v to_o be_v govern_v by_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n and_o by_o the_o sword_n of_o those_o magistrate_n god_n vice_n gerent_n who_o rule_n over_o such_o several_a company_n therefore_o according_o such_o personal_a qualification_n as_o the_o word_n have_v appoint_v be_v require_v to_o be_v in_o such_o who_o execute_v the_o ministry_n in_o these_o several_a christian_a society_n and_o likewise_o public_a authorise_v they_o so_o to_o do_v from_o such_o who_o be_v appoint_v to_o be_v over_o these_o society_n be_v very_o requisite_a 2._o the_o necessity_n of_o the_o three_o forename_a requisite_n be_v also_o thus_o to_o be_v gather_v christ_n be_v the_o king_n of_o the_o church_n he_o have_v the_o key_n and_o therefore_o he_o must_v open_v the_o door_n of_o gift_n and_o ability_n and_o endue_v such_o who_o he_o appoint_v to_o this_o work_n again_o he_o have_v also_o commit_v the_o key_n to_o his_o church_n and_o therefore_o the_o power_n delegate_v under_o christ_n of_o such_o who_o be_v to_o see_v thereunto_o be_v requisite_a that_o they_o may_v open_v the_o door_n of_o entrance_n for_o such_o who_o be_v true_o qualify_v to_o discharge_v this_o function_n so_o that_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o ability_n to_o preach_v be_v not_o all_o that_o which_o be_v require_v in_o the_o entrance_n into_o this_o sacred_a function_n yet_o to_o make_v all_o this_o more_o evident_a i_o will_v punctual_o explicate_v these_o requisite_n several_o 1._o the_o first_o requisite_a be_v divine_a position_n into_o this_o function_n 12._o this_o s._n paul_n mention_v in_o his_o
