nothing_o else_o but_o a_o confuse_a multitude_n without_o part_n of_o the_o order_n which_o the_o son_n of_o god_n have_v appoint_v the_o same_o be_v just_o cross_v out_o of_o the_o account_n of_o

and_o vineyard_n there_o remain_v that_o other_o point_n which_o be_v against_o those_o assembly_n only_o which_o have_v a_o dumb_a minister_n minister_n wherein_o the_o part_n of_o your_o conclusion_n that_o that_o assembly_n where_o they_o be_v be_v none_o of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n be_v before_o answer_v therein_o rest_v that_o part_n of_o your_o conclusion_n whereby_o you_o infer_v that_o the_o sacrament_n minister_v by_o they_o be_v none_o of_o god_n sacrament_n and_o therefore_o that_o a_o man_n may_v not_o receive_v any_o part_n of_o they_o at_o their_o hand_n here_o first_o i_o agree_v with_o you_o that_o their_o ministry_n be_v unlawful_a and_o to_o themselves_o without_o repentance_n a_o certain_a matter_n of_o destruction_n especial_o in_o those_o to_o who_o knowledge_n of_o corruption_n be_v come_v to_o the_o church_n where_o they_o be_v present_o hurtful_a and_o in_o the_o end_n without_o remedy_n deadly_a but_o that_o they_o be_v no_o minister_n of_o god_n so_o far_o as_o to_o receive_v the_o good_a they_o offer_v unto_o we_o that_o i_o suppose_v i_o may_v not_o yield_v unto_o the_o ground_n whereof_o i_o take_v from_o the_o former_a part_n of_o my_o answer_n that_o for_o so_o much_o as_o they_o be_v allow_v by_o the_o church_n of_o god_n they_o ought_v until_o remedy_n may_v be_v find_v of_o so_o great_a disorder_n to_o be_v hear_v and_o retain_v so_o far_o as_o they_o can_v give_v we_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v of_o christ_n and_o for_o this_o cause_n our_o saviour_n command_v that_o the_o scribe_n shall_v be_v hear_v 2._o for_o that_o they_o teach_v true_o which_o honour_n our_o saviour_n will_v never_o have_v give_v unto_o they_o unless_o the_o church-calling_a have_v move_v he_o thereunto_o neither_o have_v it_o be_v lawful_a for_o the_o people_n otherwise_o to_o have_v hear_v they_o for_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o their_o unfitness_n and_o unlawfulness_n in_o the_o ministry_n although_o another_o way_n be_v as_o great_a as_o it_o be_v in_o our_o read_a minister_n they_o be_v altogether_o deceive_v in_o the_o messiah_n for_o neither_o know_v they_o that_o jesus_n be_v christ_n 22._o nor_o yet_o that_o christ_n who_o they_o look_v for_o 42._o shall_v be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n but_o hold_v he_o for_o a_o bare_a and_o naked_a man_n it_o appear_v also_o that_o they_o teach_v the_o justification_n by_o the_o law_n of_o work_n not_o only_o in_o the_o 18._o of_o luke_n but_o even_o in_o the_o same_o very_a place_n where_o our_o saviour_n christ_n command_v this_o audience_n for_o speak_v of_o the_o work_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n which_o
