unto_o titus_n paul_n give_v we_o commandment_n to_o ordain_v elder_n tit._n 1.5_o and_o prescribe_n certain_a rule_n and_o canon_n for_o the_o trial_n and_o qualification_n of_o they_o that_o be_v

the_o apostle_n do_v ordain_v and_o call_v minister_n of_o the_o word_n and_o as_o they_o appoint_v other_o after_o they_o to_o be_v ordain_v and_o send_v so_o and_o in_o like_a manner_n ought_v man_n

do_v go_v against_o the_o example_n and_o appointment_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o so_o overthrow_v a_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o n._n testament_n argument_n 2_o 2._o that_o which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o example_n rule_n and_o direction_n of_o scripture_n can_v be_v do_v without_o sin_n but_o to_o administer_v the_o conclus_n 2_o word_n or_o sacrament_n without_o ordination_n be_v contrary_a to_o the_o example_n and_o rule_n of_o scripture_n therefore_o it_o be_v unlawful_a and_o can_v be_v do_v without_o sin_n argument_n 3_o 3._o if_o send_v bee_n more_o than_o gift_v by_o god_n word_n then_o there_o be_v something_o more_o by_o god_n word_n require_v unto_o preach_v then_o sole_a gift_v but_o send_v be_v according_a to_o god_n word_n more_o than_o gift_v therefore_o something_o more_o than_o gift_v be_v require_v to_o make_v a_o preacher_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o send_v be_v more_o than_o gift_v be_v evident_a because_o gift_a man_n must_v be_v
