none_o of_o these_o in_o truth_n do_v make_v account_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o three_o part_n of_o our_o text_n part_n wherein_o be_v set_v down_o what_o every_o

own_o word_n nor_o the_o word_n of_o any_o mortal_a man_n the_o apostle_n may_v not_o teach_v their_o own_o doctrine_n 28.20_o but_o only_o that_o which_o they_o have_v receive_v from_o their_o master_n who_o enjoin_v they_o to_o teach_v all_o thing_n what_o soever_o he_o have_v command_v they_o go_v say_v he_o and_o preach_v the_o gospel_n 16._o the_o holy_a apostle_n write_v to_o the_o

in_o this_o book_n woe_n be_v to_o they_o which_o preach_v and_o yet_o preach_v not_o the_o gospel_n but_o that_o we_o may_v know_v the_o better_a how_o the_o gospel_n shall_v be_v preach_v let_v we_o consider_v a_o little_a what_o it_o be_v and_o what_o it_o contain_v the_o evangelist_n call_v it_o the_o gospel_n of_o the_o kingdom_n 13.16_o saint_n paul_n accoumpt_v it_o that_o which_o be_v

repentance_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n shall_v be_v preach_v in_o his_o name_n among_o all_o nation_n to_o this_o agree_v the_o holy_a apostle_n saint_n peter_n 5.30_o when_o as_o he_o say_v with_o other_o the_o apostle_n to_o the_o counsel_n and_o chief_a priest_n the_o god_n of_o our_o father_n have_v raise_v up_o jesus_n who_o you_o slay_v and_o hang_v on_o a_o tree_n he_o have_v god_n lift_v up_o with_o his_o right_a hand_n to_o be_v a_o prince_n and_o a_o saviour_n to_o give_v repentance_n unto_o israel_n and_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n by_o this_o we_o may_v see_v how_o the_o gospel_n must_v be_v preach_v the_o people_n must_v be_v teach_v what_o christ_n have_v do_v for_o they_o the_o whole_a story_n of_o his_o incarnation_n conception_n birth_n suffering_n resurrection_n and_o

this_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o show_v what_o christ_n have_v do_v to_o rehearse_v the_o story_n of_o his_o incarnation_n but_o also_o the_o minister_n must_v be_v careful_a to_o preach_v the_o use_n

of_o the_o gospel_n for_o it_o be_v a_o schoolmaster_n to_o bring_v we_o to_o christ_n this_o then_o be_v necessary_o require_v of_o every_o minister_n free_o and_o bold_o to_o reproove_v sin_n in_o
