all_o as_o to_o the_o exercise_n of_o his_o function_n with_o freedom_n and_o acceptation_n etc._n etc._n r._n though_o in_o this_o subtle_a discourse_n there_o be_v many_o notable_a excrescency_n of_o a_o ingenious_a fancy_n yet_o this_o crafty_a device_n of_o a_o new_a end_n to_o ordination_n to_o prevent_v profanation_n seem_v unto_o i_o the_o monarch_n of_o all_o yet_o i_o think_v i_o may_v

what_o be_v the_o true_a end_n of_o that_o action_n act_v 13._o and_o second_o that_o a_o public_a allowance_n be_v not_o likely_a to_o be_v the_o end_n whatever_o be_v the_o end_v mention_v be_v these_o three_o 1._o this_o action_n tend_v to_o a_o solemn_a dismission_n of_o paul_n and_o barnabas_n from_o the_o great_a work_n at_o antioch_n that_o they_o be_v engage_v at_o antioch_n appear_v by_o those_o word_n v._o 2._o as_o they_o minister_v to_o the_o lord_n and_o fast_v their_o dismission_n appear_v in_o those_o word_n ver_fw-la 3._o when_o they_o have_v fast_v and_o pray_v and_o lay_v their_o hand_n on_o they_o they_o send_v they_o away_o hence_o piscator_fw-la call_v this_o forma_fw-la dimissionis_fw-la 13.3_o piscator_fw-la in_o act_n 13.3_o so_o that_o indeed_o this_o action_n seem_v to_o be_v a_o valedictory_n dismission_n of_o paul_n and_o barnabas_n by_o the_o church_n at_o antioch_n from_o their_o work_n there_o 2._o this_o action_n seem_v to_o be_v a_o solemn_a separation_n of_o paul_n and_o barnabas_n to_o the_o apostolical_a work_n among_o the_o gentile_n from_o ver_fw-la 2._o it_o be_v say_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n separate_a i_n paul_n and_o barnabas_n for_o the_o work_n whereunto_o i_o have_v call_v they_o and_o that_o this_o work_n be_v the_o ministry_n among_o the_o gentile_n be_v evident_a from_o their_o discharge_n of_o this_o work_n act_v 13._o &_o 14._o 3._o this_o action_n be_v intend_v as_o a_o recommendation_n of_o the_o apostle_n to_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n for_o the_o assist_v protect_a and_o succeed_v of_o they_o in_o the_o work_n to_o which_o they_o be_v separate_v as_o appear_v act_n 14.26_o and_o thence_o sail_v to_o antioch_n from_o whence_o they_o have_v be_v recommend_v to_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n for_o the_o work_n which_o they_o fulfil_v so_o then_o here_o you_o have_v from_o scripture_n three_o end_n of_o this_o action_n dismission_n separation_n and_o recommendation_n but_o not_o the_o least_o syllable_n as_o i_o observe_v that_o hold_v forth_o a_o proper_a ordination_n to_o these_o end_n for_o indeed_o it_o be_v not_o needful_a thereto_o nor_o yet_o the_o least_o syllable_n as_o hold_v forth_o any_o such_o a_o four_o end_n as_o publikè_n allowance_n and_o whosoever_o shall_v well_o consider_v the_o eminency_n of_o the_o church_n at_o antioch_n where_o the_o disciple_n be_v first_o call_v christian_n and_o the_o eminency_n of_o the_o service_n that_o the_o apostle_n have_v do_v there_o let_v he_o wonder_v if_o he_o can_v that_o the_o church_n there_o shall_v give_v these_o apostle_n such_o a_o solemn_a affectionate_a christian_a dimissory_a valediction_n and_o do_v but_o think_v how_o glorious_a as_o well_o as_o how_o dangerous_a how_o difficult_a and_o how_o necessary_a the_o conversion_n of_o so_o many_o heathen_a nation_n by_o two_o person_n contemptible_a in_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o world_n must_v needs_o seem_v to_o be_v and_o then_o judge_v it_o strange_a if_o you_o can_v that_o the_o antiochian_o shall_v fast_v and_o pray_v with_o all_o earnestness_n for_o the_o concurrence_n of_o god_n grace_n with_o paul_n and_o barnabas_n which_o alone_o can_v enable_v they_o to_o accomplish_v such_o a_o unlikely_a work_n sure_o here_o be_v reason_n enough_o for_o all_o that_o be_v do_v though_o reordination_n and_o public_a allowance_n never_o come_v in_o their_o thought_n thus_o have_v show_v you_o what_o be_v probable_o yea_o certain_o the_o end_n of_o that_o fast_a and_o prayer_n and_o imposition_n of_o hand_n i_o now_o come_v to_o show_v that_o public_a allowance_n or_o currant_n repute_n be_v not_o probable_o the_o end_n intend_v thereby_o 1._o they_o can_v not_o intend_v a_o mere_a political_a allowance_n such_o as_o we_o by_o the_o satute-law_n 2._o nor_o a_o mix_a allowance_n such_o as_o we_o by_o the_o canon-law_n 3._o nor_o a_o scriptural_a allowance_n such_o as_o we_o by_o ordination_n 4._o nor_o a_o popular_a allowance_n or_o currant_n esteem_v among_o the_o people_n 1._o such_o eminent_a apostle_n stand_v in_o no_o need_n at_o all_o of_o esteem_n to_o be_v procure_v by_o the_o antiochian_o 3.2_o cor._n 3.2_o any_o more_o than_o by_o the_o corinthian_n 2._o if_o the_o apostle_n have_v need_v yet_o inferior_n seem_v to_o be_v utter_o uncapable_a to_o add_v esteem_n to_o superior_n obscure_a and_o private_a person_n to_o famous_a apostle_n 3._o if_o the_o apostle_n have_v go_v to_o other_o church_n where_o the_o antiochian_o be_v better_a know_v than_o they_o in_o that_o case_n i_o confess_v the_o antiochian_o may_v have_v add_v something_o but_o since_o they_o go_v to_o the_o blind_a heathen_n in_o very_o remote_a country_n that_o it_o may_v be_v have_v never_o hear_v of_o the_o church_n at_o antioch_n or_o if_o they_o have_v it_o be_v like_a never_o regard_v it_o except_o to_o revile_v and_o reproach_v it_o and_o therefore_o how_o can_v we_o imagine_v that_o the_o antiochian_o separation_n can_v add_v any_o thing_n to_o the_o apostle_n estimation_n 4._o if_o the_o apostle_n have_v need_v of_o estimation_n they_o can_v procure_v it_o to_o themselves_o by_o their_o admirable_a doctrine_n and_o unheard_a of_o miracle_n yea_o they_o be_v much_o more_o likely_a by_o their_o stupendous_a miracle_n to_o add_v to_o the_o antiochian_o than_o the_o antiochian_o at_o all_o to_o they_o 5._o how_o can_v we_o think_v a_o ordination_n at_o antioch_n or_o anywhere_o else_o be_v a_o likely_a medium_n to_o create_v esteem_n for_o the_o apostle_n in_o paphos_n lycaonia_n iconium_n or_o such_o like_a blockish_a country_n or_o city_n where_o it_o be_v like_o neither_o the_o quid_fw-la nominis_fw-la nor_o quid_fw-la rei_fw-la of_o ordination_n be_v ever_o know_v until_o they_o be_v tell_v they_o by_o the_o apostle_n 6._o if_o the_o gentile_n have_v ever_o hear_v of_o a_o ordination_n before_o yet_o how_o little_a do_v they_o esteem_v of_o it_o and_o unlikely_a to_o add_v estimation_n to_o other_o be_v a_o action_n not_o esteem_v itself_o do_v not_o we_o see_v even_o in_o england_n that_o a_o man_n part_n and_o gift_n his_o holy_a life_n and_o unwearied_a labour_n add_v more_o to_o his_o estimation_n then_o ordination_n itself_o 7._o how_o can_v we_o imagine_v that_o paul_n will_v take_v a_o ordination_n from_o man_n to_o add_v to_o his_o esteem_n 12._o gal._n 1.1_o 11_o 12._o when_o he_o plain_o deny_v any_o ordination_n from_o man_n as_o a_o thing_n that_o will_v undervalue_v he_o 8._o have_v the_o procure_n of_o estimation_n be_v their_o end_n than_o will_v they_o much_o rather_o have_v use_v letter_n of_o recommendation_n which_o the_o very_a light_n of_o nature_n as_o well_o as_o scripture_n 2_o cor._n 3.1_o show_v we_o and_o all_o nation_n to_o be_v the_o most_o proper_a medium_n as_o appear_v by_o the_o practice_n of_o all_o nation_n in_o send_v their_o credential_n and_o testimonial_n with_o their_o ambassador_n 9_o what_o need_n paul_n and_o barnabas_n be_v reordain_v to_o prove_v estimation_n among_o the_o gentile_n beyond_o sea_n for_o they_o have_v no_o more_o personal_a knowledge_n of_o the_o last_o ordination_n then_o of_o the_o first_o and_o may_v have_v be_v as_o well_o certify_v by_o the_o antiochian_o of_o the_o first_o ordination_n as_o of_o the_o last_o yea_o and_o much_o better_a by_o how_o much_o the_o immediate_a call_n be_v more_o famous_a and_o wonderful_a than_o the_o mediate_a 10._o if_o paul_n and_o barnabas_n suffer_v a_o reordination_n to_o create_v they_o esteem_v in_o a_o far_a country_n then_o by_o the_o same_o reason_n may_v a_o minister_n when_o he_o remove_v into_o a_o strange_a country_n admit_v a_o reordination_n to_o advance_v his_o local_a estimation_n and_o so_o toties_fw-la quoties_fw-la than_o which_o what_o be_v more_o unheard_a of_o neither_o can_v this_o reordination_n be_v to_o create_v esteem_n among_o the_o jew_n for_o they_o be_v not_o send_v to_o the_o jew_n but_o to_o the_o gentile_n and_o they_o have_v great_a esteem_n among_o the_o jew_n before_o as_o appear_v by_o their_o reception_n administration_n and_o valediction_n and_o beside_o
