herein_o a_o comfortable_a direction_n for_o posterity_n i_o be_o the_o mean_a and_o the_o weak_a of_o many_o brethren_n to_o write_v of_o this_o reverend_a man_n

minister_n to_o be_v preach_v sincere_o and_o pure_o unto_o his_o people_n and_o here_o we_o learn_v by_o the_o way_n that_o the_o people_n must_v beware_v that_o they_o be_v not_o seduce_v with_o false_a doctrine_n and_o man_n invention_n therefore_o they_o must_v prove_v the_o doctrine_n to_o accord_v with_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o then_o be_v obedient_a unto_o it_o second_o beside_o obedience_n we_o have_v learn_v that_o they_o must_v also_o reverence_v he_o because_o they_o can_v obey_v his_o doctrine_n except_o they_o have_v a_o reverend_a opinion_n of_o he_o as_o we_o see_v by_o the_o woman_n of_o samaria_n and_o the_o people_n that_o s._n peter_n convert_v three_o it_o be_v requisite_a that_o they_o fear_v he_o for_o where_o fear_n be_v not_o there_o honour_n and_o reverence_n must_v needs_o be_v absent_a and_o thus_o have_v we_o hear_v that_o they_o ought_v to_o fear_v he_o not_o in_o respect_n of_o his_o person_n but_o for_o his_o office_n sake_n not_o as_o he_o be_v a_o man_n but_o in_o that_o he_o be_v the_o messenger_n and_o minister_n of_o god_n four_o they_o must_v love_v he_o and_o that_o unfeigned_o with_o all_o their_o heart_n be_v ready_a to_o help_v he_o in_o all_o distress_n five_o they_o must_v provide_v for_o he_o that_o he_o may_v have_v to_o maintain_v himself_o and_o his_o family_n to_o entertain_v stranger_n and_o buy_v he_o book_n that_o he_o may_v not_o with_o any_o worldly_a care_n be_v draw_v from_o do_v of_o his_o duty_n six_o they_o must_v pray_v for_o he_o continual_o and_o for_o themselves_o also_o that_o he_o may_v be_v able_a to_o teach_v and_o they_o to_o receive_v the_o word_n profitable_o 3_o these_o duty_n be_v well_o perform_v bring_v this_o commodity_n the_o minister_n labour_n 3_o shall_v be_v profitable_a his_o account_n acceptable_a and_o his_o soul_n save_v the_o people_n shall_v make_v their_o minister_n joyful_a and_o love_a unto_o they_o willing_a to_o labour_v for_o their_o profit_n and_o in_o the_o end_n they_o shall_v reign_v together_o in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n also_o if_o the_o minister_n do_v his_o duty_n faithful_o though_o the_o people_n do_v not_o their_o yet_o he_o shall_v save_v his_o soul_n likewise_o if_o the_o people_n do_v their_o duty_n and_o not_o the_o minister_n the_o lord_n will_v so_o provide_v that_o they_o shall_v enjoy_v eternal_a felicity_n 4_o last_o of_o all_o if_o these_o duty_n be_v not_o perform_v we_o have_v learn_v how_o great_a danger_n they_o 4_o be_v in_o that_o neglect_n the_o same_o if_o the_o minister_n his_o labour_n shall_v be_v curse_v he_o shall_v be_v call_v to_o a_o straight_a account_n and_o shall_v answer_v for_o every_o soul_n that_o have_v perish_v and_o so_o become_v a_o devil_n in_o hell_n for_o ever_o if_o the_o people_n do_v not_o their_o duty_n they_o shall_v grieve_v their_o pastor_n make_v he_o unprofitable_a and_o in_o the_o end_n be_v torment_v in_o utter_a darkness_n for_o ever_o the_o lord_n of_o all_o power_n deal_v merciful_o with_o we_o for_o his_o dear_a son_n jesus_n christ_n sake_n and_o grant_v such_o grace_n both_o unto_o the_o minister_n of_o his_o word_n that_o they_o may_v careful_o do_v their_o duty_n with_o that_o fear_n of_o his_o name_n that_o reverence_n of_o his_o majesty_n that_o zeal_n of_o his_o glory_n and_o that_o desire_v of_o the_o salvation_n of_o his_o people_n that_o they_o ought_v and_o that_o the_o people_n may_v so_o obedient_o and_o willing_o receive_v thy_o word_n and_o minister_n thereof_o as_o shall_v be_v most_o for_o thy_o glory_n and_o the_o profit_n of_o their_o soul_n that_o after_o this_o life_n end_v we_o may_v dwell_v together_o in_o thy_o kingdom_n of_o glory_n with_o thy_o son_n our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n to_o who_o with_o thou_o and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n three_o person_n and_o one_o true_a and_o most_o wise_a god_n be_v all_o honour_n and_o glory_n for_o ever_o amen_n of_o the_o confession_n of_o sin_n
