as_o the_o function_n of_o a_o deacon_n or_o a_o minister_n be_v divers_a so_o be_v the_o gift_n also_o whereby_o those_o function_n be_v execute_v likewise_o divers_a and_o therefore_o there_o may_v

long_o as_o he_o live_v to_o be_v a_o good_a minister_n of_o the_o word_n and_o therefore_o the_o gift_n be_v divers_a wherewith_o those_o office_n must_v be_v execute_v although_o it_o be_v neither_o

be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o seed_n or_o fry_v of_o the_o minister_n or_o that_o he_o mean_v by_o those_o word_n that_o the_o deaconship_n be_v a_o step_n to_o the_o pastorshyp_n which_o may_v yet_o also_o further_o appear_v by_o the_o phrase_n of_o speech_n which_o the_o apostle_n use_v for_o he_o do_v not_o say_v that_o they_o that_o do_v the_o office_n of_o deaconship_n well_o shall_v come_v

be_v to_o daily_o with_o the_o scripture_n and_o to_o make_v they_o a_o nose_n of_o wax_n in_o allege_v of_o these_o to_o prove_v the_o elder_n that_o all_o man_n may_v understand_v what_o terrible_a

the_o apostle_n time_n there_o be_v both_o persecution_n and_o no_o christian_n magistrate_n therefore_o in_o their_o time_n the_o office_n of_o these_o elder_n be_v in_o every_o congregation_n i_o come_v therefore_o to_o the_o second_o point_n wherein_o the_o question_n especial_o lie_v which_o be_v whether_o this_o function_n be_v perpetual_a and_o aught_o to_o remain_v always_o in_o the_o church_n and_o it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v by_o the_o way_n that_z where_o as_o there_o be_v divers_a sort_n of_o adversary_n to_o this_o discipline_v of_o the_o church_n master_n doctor_n be_v amongst_o the_o worst_a for_o there_o be_v that_o say_v that_z this_o order_n may_v be_v use_v or_o not_o use_v now_o at_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o church_n but_o m._n doctor_n say_v that_o this_o

christian_n magistrate_n yet_o notwithstanding_o retain_v this_o order_n still_o and_o to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o vanity_n of_o this_o distinction_n which_o be_v that_z there_o ought_v to_o be_v senior_n or_o ancient_n in_o the_o time_n of_o persecution_n and_o not_o of_o peace_n under_o tyrant_n and_o not_o under_o christian_n magistrate_n may_v appear_v the_o cause_n why_o these_o senior_n or_o ancient_n be_v appoint_v in_o the_o church_n be_v to_o be_v considere_v which_o must_v needs_o be_v grant_v to_o be_v for_o that_o the_o pastor_n not_o be_v able_a to_o oversee_v all_o himself_o and_o to_o have_v his_o eye_n in_o every_o corner_n of_o the_o church_n and_o place_n where_o the_o church_n abide_v may_v be_v help_v of_o the_o ancient_n wherein_o the_o wonderful_a love_n of_o

of_o every_o church_n but_o many_o over_o every_o church_n and_o therefore_o see_v that_o the_o pastor_n be_v now_o in_o the_o time_n of_o peace_n and_o under_o a_o christian_n magistrate_n not_o

as_o well_o now_o as_o in_o the_o time_n of_o persecution_n as_o well_o under_o a_o christian_n prince_n as_o under_o a_o tyrant_n the_o office_n of_o a_o ancient_a or_o signior_n be_v require_v unless_o you_o will_v say_v that_o god_n have_v less_o care_n of_o his_o church_n in_o the_o time_n of_o peace_n and_o under_o a_o godly_a magistrate_n then_z he_o have_v in_o the_o time_n of_o

our_o honour_n or_o our_o commodity_n and_o wealth_n but_o as_o i_o have_v say_v our_o life_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v dear_a unto_o we_o for_o therefore_o do_v he_o make_v mention_n of_o the_o

may_v comfort_v timothe_n if_o he_o shall_v be_v bring_v into_o any_o trouble_n for_o the_o defence_n of_o any_o of_o these_o thing_n four_o if_o we_o refer_v those_o word_n without_o spot_n or_o blemish_n unto_o the_o commandment_n as_o i_o for_o my_o part_n think_v they_o ought_v to_o be_v then_o there_o be_v a_o weight_n in_o these_o word_n not_o to_o be_v pass_v over_o which_o be_v that_o the_o apostle_n will_v not_o only_o have_v the_o rule_n here_o contain_v not_o tread_v under_o the_o foot_n or_o break_v in_o piece_n but_o he_o will_v not_o have_v they_o so_o much_o as_o in_o any_o one_o small_a point_n or_o speck_n neglect_v but_o i_o see_v how_o m._n doctor_n will_v wipe_v away_o all_o this_o and_o say_v that_o these_o thing_n or_o some_o of_o they_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v thus_o necessary_o and_o precise_o until_o there_o be_v christian_n prince_n and_o peace_n in_o the_o church_n but_o the_o print_n be_v deep_a than_o that_o it_o will_v be_v so_o wash_v away_o therefore_o it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v what_o he_o say_v in_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o the_o sentence_n where_o he_o charge_v timothe_n and_o in_o he_o all_o that_z he_o shall_v keep_v all_o

which_o s._n paul_n appoint_v in_o this_o epistle_n be_v necessary_a perpetual_a and_o by_o no_o mean_n to_o be_v change_v so_o that_o we_o have_v not_o only_o now_o the_o example_n of_o all_o the_o

that_o this_o charge_n of_o excommunication_n belong_v not_o unto_o one_o or_o to_o the_o minister_n but_o chief_o to_o the_o eldership_n and_o pastor_n it_o appear_v by_o that_o which_o the_o

of_o the_o roman_n quote_v by_o the_o admonition_n be_v very_o fit_a &_o most_o proper_a for_o s._n paul_n speak_v there_o against_o those_o which_o not_o content_v themselves_o with_o their_o own_o

for_o the_o poor_a this_o one_o thing_n i_o will_v add_v to_o that_o matter_n that_o if_o the_o apostle_n which_o have_v such_o excellent_a and_o pass_a gift_n do_v find_v themselves_o preach_v of_o
