their_o own_o but_o out_o of_o the_o stock_n of_o this_o divine_a word_n beside_o which_o they_o ought_v to_o teach_v nothing_o of_o themselves_o and_o if_o they_o do_v they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v hear_v second_o the_o express_a order_n which_o the_o apostle_n give_v we_o that_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n shall_v dwell_v rich_o in_o we_o do_v show_v that_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o pastor_n sedulous_o to_o exhort_v their_o flock_n unto_o the_o study_n and_o read_v and_o meditation_n of_o the_o divine_a scripture_n and_o that_o it_o be_v incumbent_n on_o their_o flock_n to_o addict_v themselves_o assiduous_o thereto_o whence_o it_o follow_v in_o the_o three_o place_n that_o this_o word_n of_o christ_n ought_v to_o resound_v continual_o every_o where_n in_o the_o church_n and_o in_o its_o public_a assembly_n and_o in_o private_a family_n and_o the_o very_a closet_n of_o its_o member_n otherwise_o how_o will_v it_o dwell_v plenteous_o in_o we_o moreover_o since_o the_o apostle_n speak_v here_o to_o all_o the_o faithful_a in_o general_n as_o well_o people_n as_o minister_n this_o epistle_n be_v direct_v by_o he_o to_o all_o the_o faithful_a brethren_n in_o christ_n which_o be_v at_o colosse_n its_o evident_a further_o his_o intention_n be_v that_o not_o only_o all_o christian_n do_v hear_v this_o word_n in_o the_o church_n but_o that_o they_o also_o read_v it_o each_o one_o in_o private_a if_o they_o can_v and_o that_o such_o read_n be_v not_o only_o permit_v but_o command_v they_o as_o profitable_a and_o necessary_a again_o the_o apostle_n require_v it_o shall_v dwell_v in_o they_o yea_o dwell_v rich_o in_o they_o do_v necessary_o infer_v that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o know_v some_o general_a point_n of_o this_o heavenly_a doctrine_n but_o that_o man_n ought_v to_o be_v full_o and_o distinct_o instruct_v in_o it_o and_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o there_o may_v not_o be_v any_o part_n of_o this_o divine_a treasure_n but_o we_o be_v

knowledge_n of_o it_o whence_o in_o fine_a it_o clear_o follow_v that_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n contain_v all_o thing_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o he_o that_o be_v ignorant_a of_o any_o part_n of_o they_o be_v not_o owner_n of_o wisdom_n and_o much_o less_o of_o all_o wisdom_n which_o yet_o the_o apostle_n intimate_v we_o shall_v have_v if_o the_o word_n of_o

with_o what_o indignity_n rome_n do_v treat_v christian_n and_o how_o she_o forbid_v they_o to_o read_v their_o father_n testament_n and_o judge_v it_o a_o crime_n that_o they_o shall_v handle_v

their_o first_o rule_n run_v express_o in_o these_o word_n since_o it_o be_v manifest_a by_o experience_n that_o if_o the_o holy_a bible_n be_v common_o and_o indifferent_o permit_v in_o the_o

word_n of_o god_n and_o to_o his_o apostle_n authority_n first_o their_o position_n at_o the_o entrance_n namely_o that_o the_o common_a read_n of_o the_o bible_n do_v more_o hurt_n than_o good_a and_o cause_v more_o damage_n than_o profit_n this_o i_o say_v be_v horrible_a and_o direct_o contrary_a both_o to_o the_o wisdom_n and_o goodness_n of_o god_n as_o also_o to_o s_n paul_n declaration_n for_o who_o can_v believe_v that_o god_n shall_v give_v such_o book_n to_o his_o church_n as_o be_v more_o apt_a to_o hurt_v than_o to_o help_v and_o how_o do_v his_o apostle_n recommend_v they_o to_o all_o christian_n indifferent_o will_v that_o this_o word_n dwell_v plenteous_o in_o they_o if_o this_o be_v dangerous_a for_o they_o and_o rather_o pernicious_a than_o profitable_a and_o why_o do_v he_o promise_v we_o from_o it_o the_o fruit_n of_o wisdom_n yea_o of_o all_o wisdom_n if_o the_o read_n be_v so_o perilous_a be_v wisdom_n a_o evil_a and_o damageable_a thing_n but_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o comprehend_v the_o thought_n of_o rome_n she_o mean_v assure_o that_o read_n of_o the_o bible_n be_v prejudicial_a to_o she_o that_o it_o discover_v her_o

that_o there_o be_v something_o semblable_a among_o the_o angel_n and_o that_o in_o their_o intelligible_a world_n there_o be_v some_o image_n of_o that_o variety_n which_o render_v our_o visible_a one_o so_o beautiful_a and_o so_o mervellous_a the_o apostle_n to_o express_v this_o difference_n of_o their_o order_n use_v the_o name_n of_o those_o divers_a degree_n which_o be_v find_v in_o the_o

in_o my_o opinion_n it_o may_v be_v with_o reason_n conclude_v that_o there_o be_v a_o diversity_n of_o charge_n and_o ministry_n among_o the_o angel_n if_o you_o ask_v i_o what_o the_o order_n of_o
