see_v you_o acknowledge_v in_o your_o confession_n of_o faith_n that_o the_o sacrament_n ought_v only_o to_o be_v minister_v by_o such_o as_o be_v call_v thereunto_o by_o ordinary_a vocation_n i_o demand_v if_o your_o vocation_n unto_o the_o ministry_n be_v like_a unto_o the_o call_n of_o all_o other_o who_o have_v go_v before_o you_o in_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n since_o the_o time_n of_o the_o apostle_n who_o both_o you_o and_o we_o repute_v and_o hold_v to_o have_v be_v jawfull_a pastor_n and_o teacher_n of_o his_o flock_n as_o s._n cyprian_n s._n augustin_n s._n ambrose_n and_o

which_o also_o be_v very_o necessary_a &_o profitable_a 12._o ephes_n 4._o 1._o cor._n 12._o and_o be_v call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o teacher_n and_o doctor_n who_o office_n it_o be_v to_o teach_v

therefore_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o seed_n be_v sow_v for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o church_n be_v not_o leave_v barren_a &_o waste_a unto_o posterity_n and_o also_o that_o for_o this_o effect_n school_n be_v erect_v wherein_o youth_n may_v be_v train_v up_o in_o the_o knowledge_n and_o fear_v of_o god_n i_o demand_v why_o you_o admit_v at_o the_o first_o entry_n of_o your_o doctrine_n into_o scotland_n and_o yet_o do_v tailor_n skinar_n and_o other_o artificer_n who_o be_v never_o instruct_v but_o in_o their_o own_o craft_n and_o occupation_n which_o they_o
