in_o his_o own_o word_n by_o which_o i_o have_v prove_v it_o and_o also_o by_o sound_n natural_a reason_n with_o which_o two_o invincible_a weapon_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n i_o have_v put_v to_o flight_n all_o objection_n that_o may_v be_v make_v against_o this_o truth_n so_o that_o i_o conceive_v he_o must_v needs_o declare_v himself_o a_o enemy_n to_o christ_n kingdom_n void_a of_o both_o grace_n and_o good_a reason_n that_o be_v against_o it_o and_o whereas_o man_n in_o our_o day_n be_v divers_a and_o different_a touch_v the_o preacher_n of_o the_o gospel_n some_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o some_o of_o the_o saint_n only_o may_v preach_v it_o that_o be_v to_o say_v such_o only_a as_o be_v vniversity-scholer_n other_o that_o none_o at_o all_o may_v or_o can_v preach_v it_o whereas_o i_o according_a to_o my_o small_a talon_n do_v hold_v &_o have_v declare_v in_o this_o tract_n that_o all_o &_o every_o of_o the_o saint_n be_v call_v to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n according_a to_o what_o they_o have_v receive_v and_o do_v conceive_v of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o for_o the_o better_a resolve_v and_o satisfy_v of_o my_o disscenting_a brethren_n of_o each_o side_n i_o will_v declare_v first_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o promise_a i_o here_o mean_a and_o that_o in_o the_o treatise_n follow_v i_o do_v speak_v of_o second_o i_o will_v show_v the_o necessity_n that_o there_o be_v of_o such_o preach_n and_o both_o of_o they_o by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n 1_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o promise_a or_o preach_v of_o the_o gospel_n i_o here_o mean_v be_v no_o other_o thing_n then_o a_o hold_v out_o to_o other_o by_o the_o word_n that_o light_n or_o knowledge_n that_o any_o one_o apprehend_v from_o the_o word_n to_o be_v of_o christ_n according_a to_o that_o exhortation_n 1_o pet._n 4.10_o ii_o as_o every_o man_n have_v receive_v the_o gift_n even_o so_o minister_v the_o same_o one_o to_o another_o as_o good_a steward_n of_o the_o manifold_a grace_n of_o god_n if_o any_o man_n speak_v let_v he_o speak_v as_o the_o oracle_n of_o god_n if_o any_o man_n minister_n let_v he_o do_v it_o as_o of_o the_o ability_n which_o god_n give_v that_o god_n in_o all_o thing_n may_v be_v glorify_v through_o jesus_n christ_n to_o who_o be_v praise_n and_o dominion_n for_o ever_o and_o ever_o amen_n but_o there_o be_v a_o ordinary_a but_o a_o unmercinary_a objection_n make_v by_o many_o against_o this_o doctrine_n and_o it_o be_v this_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v by_o such_o as_o be_v send_v to_o preach_v it_o and_o therefore_o as_o there_o be_v none_o send_v so_o by_o christ_n now_o so_o there_o be_v no_o need_n nor_o no_o ability_n in_o man_n to_o preach_v now_o rom._n 10.15_o now_o that_o i_o may_v answer_v this_o the_o clear_a i_o will_v show_v 1_o what_o preach_v mean_v 2_o how_o manifold_a the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v and_o both_o of_o they_o by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n 1._o preach_v be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o say_v publish_v to_o other_o what_o they_o know_v not_o according_a to_o that_o of_o our_o saviour_n mat._n 10.27_o what_o i_o tell_v you_o in_o darkness_n that_o speak_v you_o in_o light_n and_o what_o you_o hear_v in_o the_o ear_n that_o preach_v you_o on_o the_o house_n top_n or_o publish_v you_o abroad_o so_o that_o to_o declare_v to_o other_o what_o they_o know_v not_o be_v in_o the_o gospel_n account_n preach_v 2_o there_o be_v a_o twofold_n preach_v of_o the_o gospel_n 1._o there_o be_v a_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n by_o inspiration_n from_o god_n 2_o tim._n 3.16_o which_o preach_v be_v now_o cease_v ro_n 10.15_o 2._o there_o be_v a_o preach_n of_o that_o which_o be_v preach_v already_o act_v 15.21_o moses_n of_o old_a time_n have_v in_o every_o city_n they_o that_o preach_v he_o that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o preach_v his_o work_n or_o what_o he_o from_o god_n have_v preach_v before_o luk._n 16.29_o they_o have_v moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n let_v they_o hear_v they_o that_o be_v they_o have_v the_o prophecy_n of_o moses_n &_o the_o prophet_n for_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n be_v dead_a before_o christ_n speak_v this_o and_o before_o he_o be_v bear_v therefore_o it_o be_v moses_n his_o prophecy_n that_o of_o old_a time_n have_v in_o every_o city_n they_o that_o preach_v they_o be_v read_v in_o the_o synagogue_n every_o sabbath_n day_n so_o that_o to_o read_v the_o scripture_n and_o to_o expound_v they_o to_o other_o be_v preach_v in_o the_o phrase_n of_o scripture_n and_o thus_o they_o preach_v neh._n 8.8_o so_o they_o read_v in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o law_n of_o god_n distinct_o &_o give_v the_o sense_n and_o cause_v they_o to_o understand_v the_o read_n thus_o our_o saviour_n preach_v luke_n 4.16_o 21._o and_o 24.7_o 32._o and_o thus_o the_o gospel_n that_o have_v be_v preach_v by_o inspiration_n from_o god_n be_v to_o be_v preach_v still_o by_o the_o saint_n till_o all_o be_v perfect_v ephes_n 4.11_o 12_o 13._o and_o he_o give_v some_o apostle_n and_o some_o prophet_n and_o some_o evangelist_n and_o some_o pastor_n and_o teacher_n what_o to_o do_v for_o the_o perfect_a of_o the_o saint_n for_o the_o work_n of_o the_o ministry_n for_o the_o edify_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n for_o how_o long_o till_o we_o all_o come_v in_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o faith_n and_o of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n unto_o a_o perfect_a man_n no_o member_n want_v in_o the_o body_n unto_o the_o measure_n of_o the_o stature_n or_o age_n of_o the_o fullness_n of_o christ_n every_o member_n be_v perfect_v in_o grace_n &_o for_o glory_n now_o 2._o the_o necessity_n that_o there_o be_v of_o the_o preach_n of_o this_o gospel_n appear_v to_o be_v great_a as_o by_o what_o have_v be_v say_v already_o so_o likewise_o by_o this_o that_o follow_v they_o that_o live_v now_o do_v not_o hear_v the_o apostle_n prophet_n etc._n etc._n when_o they_o preach_v the_o gospel_n neither_o canall_n that_o be_v now_o alive_a read_v what_o they_o have_v preach_v and_o write_v some_o have_v never_o learn_v letter_n other_o be_v bear_v blind_a and_o can_v not_o learn_v to_o read_v a_o three_o sort_n can_v read_v but_o now_o can_v visit_v with_o blindness_n all_o which_o show_v the_o necessity_n of_o preach_v the_o gospel_n now_o to_o be_v great_a either_o by_o read_v it_o or_o by_o speak_v from_o it_o by_o compare_v spiritual_a thing_n with_o spiritual_a thing_n to_o wit_n the_o scripture_n with_o itself_o text_n with_o text_n 1_o cor._n 2.13_o ro_n 7.14_o joh._n 6.63_o thus_o you_o have_v see_v both_o the_o nature_n and_o the_o necessity_n of_o the_o prophesy_a or_o preach_v of_o which_o i_o speak_v and_o mean_v in_o the_o tract_n ensue_v wherein_o i_o have_v both_o by_o scripture_n and_o argument_n clear_v up_o this_o truth_n that_o to_o speak_v with_o tongue_n be_v not_o essential_a to_o the_o be_v of_o a_o prophet_n or_o that_o divine_a prophesy_v be_v not_o restrain_v to_o humane_a learning_n and_o so_o consequent_o that_o all_o the_o saint_n be_v prophet_n to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n one_o to_o another_o for_o which_o cause_n i_o call_v my_o book_n the_o preacher_n plea_n which_o i_o have_v write_v according_a to_o the_o measure_n of_o my_o talon_n to_o inform_v the_o reader_n and_o i_o do_v advise_v thou_o also_o to_o declare_v it_o and_o thyself_o for_o it_o for_o the_o information_n of_o
