These Cryers and Proclaimers are publick Officers to give open notice of some State or Church-Affair whereof the supream King Priest and Prophet the LORD Jesus Christ thinks good to advertize his Subjects as by sound of trumpeting Voice that all and every one who are concerned may have the certain knowledg and timely warning thereof It must be with such a vehement sound as is heard at a far distance that no one may pretend or plead Ignorance when within hearing with the Voice of one crying calling by Name those he meets and by express Word gathering a Convocation and Assembly reading some part of the Book and Law and Will of God preaching some Evangelical Word unto them who give the hearing For this Voice in the 6 7 8 ver of the 40th chap. of Isaiah is distinct from the foregoing Voice in the 3 4 ver which was more fulfilled in and by the Ministry of † Mal. 3. 1. Mat. 3. 3. Mar. 1. 2 3. Luk. 3. 2 5. Isa 52. 7 8. 60. 5 10 16 61. 4 5 6 9. 62 6. 66. 12 19 20 21. John the Baptist John delivered his Message faithfully both as to his Ministerial and Baptismal Office at the enterance of the New-Testament-Administration of Grace when Christ was coming shortly after in his state of Humiliation But some other or others will be called and sent forth about this latter and toward the latter-day-Glory a little before Christ's coming in the Clouds in his state of Exaltation as the 9 10 11 ver of the formentioned Chapter will evidence to a discerning considerate Reader when the Sioners shall be Evangalized and gathered into Church-Flocks unto a purer way than ever yet When the Jews shall be in a preparedness for this great turn and thereby made ready for the LORD at that time * Song 8. 8 9 10. as at the beginning of the New-Testament-Dispensation of Grace some Ministers from among the Jews were employed in converting and baptizing of the Gentiles so now in these later days some of the Gentile-Ministers may have the honour to be Instruments under Christ of converting and baptizing of the Jews And where can that People find a meet Administrator if the LORD do not more immediately send them some Prophet who can prove his Mission and Commission to be from on High They still requiring a Sign 1 Cor. 1. 22. For as for those few of their Brethren in this day who by outward Profession and Confession do own Christ to be the true Messiah already come in the Flesh Shem Acher never yet met with any of them he has conferred with about five or six of such who come forth with any thing extraordinary visible mark and gift upon them as to a being clothed with the Spirit And that Baptism which they have received at least some of them if not all has been from corrupt hands in a corrupt way And Shem doth bear good will towards that People praying for Jerusalem's Peace and for Sion's Purity seeking the good of her Sons and Daughters and having experienced the Truth and Goodness of that Promise more ways than one that such shall prosper who love her Besides there may be divers of the Gentiles who a little before God's thus favouring of Sion may be brought more throughly into a perfecting of their Baptism from among the Seekers non-Church-Men and several others upon some of whose Spirits this doth lye with pressing weight whither shall we go to meet with a lawfully-called-Ministry and a lawfully-constituted Church where is there a well-warranted heavenly attested-Administrator Shem in this doth speak out some of the Thoughts of such dissatisfied ones and he is so far ready with an answer which he can give to those who ask him a word concerning his Ministry and Baptism Whence is thy Ministry and Bap●ism and from whom thy Ministry and Baptism as to the perfecting of both it is from Heaven not from Earth from Christ more immediately and not so from Men. Here in the way let it be remembred that the reviving of the Seventh-day-Sabbath doth make way for the later-day-Glory-Conversions and Ingatherings of the Outcasts of Israel Isa 56. 1 8. And that the Prophecies and Promises of building the old waste places and of raising up the Foundations of many Generations and of being called the Repairer of the Breach the Restorer and Paths to Sabbatize is made over to such Revivers of the Seventh-day-Sabbath This great useful Truth is therefore not only received in the Principle but also closed with in the Practice by Shem Acher wherein he doth sweetly acquiesce to his own satisfaction whilst others do dispute preach and print to defend and justify their various Calls to both by Arguments mostly drawn from Men tho running down to them in a very corrupt Channel and if his LORD should say to his Servant Shem as once to * Chap. 12. v. 13 Isa 58. 12 13 14. 66. 21 22 23. Daniel And thou Shem Acher Go to the end and thou shalt rest and shalt stand in thy lot to the end of those days let it suffice thee that Jehovah thy Aelohim hath revealed this in thee and done this for thee but the larger pourings out of the Spirit and more signal ownings are reserved for some others yet even this is a special honour and the Glory be to him It is well worthy of an observable Remark in Scripture that besides the stated Ministry the LORD has sent forth special Prophets and Apostles upon urgent occasions Some of these were of another Education and Profession such as † Amos 1. 1. 7. 14 15. Acts 7 42. 15. 15. Amos who had been no Prophet nor Prophets Son but an Herdsman and a Gatherer of Fruit. Thus also * Mat. 4. 18 19 20. the Apostles in Christ's time were some of them poor plain Fishermen Jehovah communicated Himself and his Will unto such in extraordinary Revelations and confirmed their Office by miraculous attests from Heaven In other Instances he has dignified some with such special singular Employs in a Ministry not common † Acts 7. 22. Dan. 1. 4 17. Acts 22. 3 2 Cor. 12. 11. 1 Cor. 14. 18. who were skilled in great variety of Arts and Sciences especially in Scripture-Knowledges in which latter he blessed their Studies and Labours and encouraged their Diligence and Industry So it was with Moses Daniel Paul and others * Jer. 28 8. Luke 1. 70. 11. 50. Act. 3. 21. Prophets there have been in all the Ages of the Church besides the standing Ministry Before Moses there were Adam Enoch Noah Abraham Isaac Jacob Joseph Afterwards there were Moses Joshuah Samuel David Solomon Nathan Gad Elijah Elisha Michajah Esaias Jeremiah Ezekiel Daniel Hosea Joel Amos Obadiah Jonah Micah Nahum Habakkuk Zephaniah Haggai Zechariah Malachi Zecharias the Father of John the Baptist In the New Testament Simeon Agabus the good Apostles by Name particularly Peter John Paul
