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 minister_n ought_v to_o preach_v namely_o the_o gospel_n they_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o deliver_v the_o counsel_n of_o man_n the_o tradition_n of_o the_o father_n the_o statute_n of_o earthly_a

gospel_n 3_o the_o true_a prophet_n never_o speak_v of_o themselves_o to_o the_o people_n but_o as_o they_o receive_v warn_v from_o the_o lord_n they_o have_v no_o authority_n to_o speak_v their_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

pure_a and_o perfect_a word_n of_o god_n woe_n be_v to_o those_o son_n of_o vanity_n for_o in_o deed_n they_o preach_v not_o the_o gospel_n they_o preach_v not_o christ_n but_o themselves_o they_o

the_o word_n of_o this_o pprophecy_n god_n shall_v take_v away_o his_o part_n out_o of_o the_o book_n of_o life_n and_o out_o of_o the_o holy_a city_n and_o from_o these_o thing_n which_o be_v write_v 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

and_o use_n of_o the_o same_o history_n 24.46_o as_o touch_v the_o first_o namely_o the_o history_n of_o christ_n it_o be_v sommary_o comprehend_v under_o his_o passion_n and_o resurrection_n the_o

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 the_o end_n and_o fruit_n of_o the_o same_o story_n which_o be_v that_o the_o people_n may_v repent_v be_v turn_v unfeigned_o unto_o god_n and_o so_o by_o faith_n make_v partaker_n of_o remission_n

a_o mendement_n of_o the_o whole_a life_n which_o this_o doctrine_n we_o must_v begin_v this_o we_o must_v first_o of_o all_o and_o chief_o urge_v this_o be_v that_o doctrine_n chief_o and_o most_o of_o all_o preach_v by_o the_o holy_a prophet_n 18.1_o this_o be_v the_o common_a and_o usual_a voice_n o_o israel_n return_n to_o the_o lord_n 4.17_o john_n the_o baptist_n the_o messenger_n and_o also_o jesus_n christ_n his_o master_n they_o cry_v both_o of_o they_o repent_v for_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v at_o hand_n the_o apostle_n also_o every_o where_n exhort_v man_n to_o repentance_n to_o amendment_n of_o life_n 3.2_o to_o mortification_n and_o regeneration_n this_o be_v a_o usual_a doctrine_n in_o all_o their_o epistle_n now_o 7.7_o they_o can_v never_o true_o

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 all_o state_n and_o degree_n whatsoever_o this_o be_v it_o that_o the_o lord_n say_v to_o his_o prophet_n ●_o cry_v aloud_o spare_v not_o lift_v up_o thy_o voice_n like_o a_o trumpet_n and_o show_v
