you_o will_v find_v in_o the_o last_o chapter_n of_o saint_n john_n gospel_n and_o the_o first_o of_o the_o act_n so_o that_o since_o the_o twelve_o disciple_n be_v thus_o advance_v and_o not_o the_o

christ_n give_v testimony_n of_o his_o approbation_n of_o that_o which_o they_o do_v by_o consent_v to_o mathias_n election_n yea_o it_o appear_v that_o they_o have_v a_o commandment_n so_o to_o do_v

as_o be_v command_v by_o christ_n their_o master_n moreover_o it_o be_v evident_a by_o the_o word_n of_o the_o 25_o verse_n where_o the_o apostle_n make_v a_o clear_a distinction_n between_o apostle_n and_o evangelist_n that_o he_o may_v take_v part_n say_v he_o of_o this_o ministry_n and_o apostleship_n now_o the_o apostle_n can_v not_o call_v it_o this_o ministry_n except_o it_o have_v be_v
