they_o to_o who_o it_o belong_v to_o elect_v or_o admit_v any_o to_o serve_v in_o the_o common_a wealth_n in_o any_o public_a call_n the_o person_n that_o shall_v be_v elect_v or_o admit_v must_v first_o consider_v in_o themselves_o whether_o they_o be_v such_o in_o deed_n as_o they_o be_v suppose_v to_o be_v and_o whether_o those_o quality_n be_v in_o they_o that_o be_v require_v in_o those_o person_n that_o shall_v supply_v such_o place_n as_o they_o be_v call_v or_o admit_v unto_o and_o if_o they_o shall_v not_o find_v themselves_o to_o be_v such_o or_o that_o the_o quality_n require_v be_v not_o in_o they_o then_o must_v they_o if_o they_o will_v not_o provoke_v the_o heavy_a wrath_n of_o god_n against_o themselves_o either_o seek_v by_o earnest_n and_o continual_a prayer_n to_o god_n and_o by_o all_o other_o mean_v to_o be_v make_v such_o and_o to_o obtain_v those_o quality_n that_o they_o lack_v or_o else_o utter_o refuse_v to_o take_v upon_o they_o to_o supply_v a_o place_n for_o which_o they_o know_v themselves_o to_o be_v so_o unmeet_a and_o if_o when_o they_o have_v examine_v themselves_o they_o shall_v find_v that_o they_o be_v in_o all_o point_n meet_v for_o the_o place_n that_o they_o be_v choose_v or_o admit_v to_o they_o must_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n consider_v what_o duty_n they_o have_v to_o do_v in_o these_o place_n and_o consecrate_v themselves_o to_o be_v occupy_v continual_o in_o do_v those_o duty_n and_o not_o only_o beg_v at_o god_n hand_n his_o holy_a spirit_n to_o direct_v and_o strengthen_v they_o therein_o but_o earnest_o desire_v that_o all_o the_o people_n amongst_o who_o they_o be_v appoint_v to_o serve_v do_v in_o all_o their_o prayer_n commend_v they_o to_o god_n without_o who_o conduct_n &_o aid_n they_o can_v be_v able_a to_o discharge_v any_o part_n of_o their_o duty_n and_o according_a to_o the_o example_n of_o the_o prophet_n david_n these_o man_n must_v hate_v all_o they_o that_o hate_v the_o lord_n that_o be_v all_o such_o as_o geve_v over_o themselves_o to_o serve_v sin_v for_o those_o person_n do_v love_n sin_n and_o none_o can_v love_n sin_v but_o the_o same_o must_v needs_o hate_v the_o

therefore_o hate_v the_o lord_n and_o every_o one_o that_o be_v elect_v or_o admit_v to_o serve_v in_o any_o public_a place_n must_v in_o like_a manner_n hate_v all_o they_o that_o he_o shall_v see_v to_o be_v such_o sinner_n if_o his_o calling_n be_v ecclesiastical_a he_o must_v reprehend_v rebuke_n and_o enstruct_v they_o and_o if_o that_o will_v not_o help_v he_o must_v lay_v before_o they_o the_o horrible_a threaten_n of_o god_n wrath_n against_o they_o and_o this_o he_o must_v do_v as_o david_n do_v without_o any_o fear_n favour_n hatred_n or_o other_o fleshly_a respect_n that_o they_o may_v be_v move_v to_o have_v towards_o their_o person_n they_o must_v always_o have_v in_o mind_n who_o minister_n they_o be_v &_o who_o work_n it_o be_v that_o they_o have_v in_o hand_n and_o they_o must_v never_o forget_v that_o who_o so_o do_v the_o lord_n work_v negligent_o be_v accurse_v of_o the_o lord_n more_o over_o they_o must_v still_o bear_v in_o mind_n the_o word_n which_o the_o lord_n speak_v to_o ezechiel_n the_o prophet_n say_v thus_o 3._o take_v good_a heed_n to_o the_o word_n of_o my_o mouth_n and_o geve_v they_o warning_n at_o my_o commandment_n if_o i_o say_v unto_o thou_o concern_v the_o ungodly_a man_n that_o without_o doubt_n he_o must_v die_v and_o thou_o give_v he_o no_o warning_n nor_o speak_v unto_o he_o that_o he_o may_v turn_v from_o his_o evil_n way_n and_o so_o live_v then_o shall_v the_o same_o ungodly_a man_n die_v in_o his_o own_o unrighteousness_n but_o his_o blood_n will_v i_o require_v of_o thine_o hand_n yea_o he_o must_v always_o be_v mindful_a of_o the_o word_n of_o paul_n to_o timothy_n where_o he_o say_v thus_o a_o bishop_n that_o be_v a_o church_n minister_n must_v be_v without_o fault_n etc_n etc_n and_o of_o the_o word_n of_o the_o same_o apostle_n to_o the_o elder_n of_o ephesus_n when_o he_o say_v thus_o take_v heed_n to_o yourselves_o and_o to_o the_o whole_a flock_n wherein_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v appoint_v you_o to_o be_v overseer_n to_o govern_v the_o church_n of_o god_n which_o he_o have_v buy_v with_o his_o own_o blood_n and_o above_o all_o thing_n he_o must_v take_v heed_n of_o that_o pestilent_a root_n covetousness_n which_o if_o it_o do_v once_o take_v hold_v in_o his_o heart_n it_o will_v bring_v forth_o such_o fruit_n as_o will_v turn_v all_o the_o wholesome_a wine_n of_o his_o good_a doctrine_n to_o most_o pernicious_a poison_n for_o he_o shall_v never_o be_v satisfy_v with_o live_v yea_o though_o he_o have_v a_o great_a deal_n to_o much_o with_o more_o charge_n than_o many_o more_o able_a than_o he_o can_v be_v able_a to_o discharge_v yet_o will_v he_o still_o desire_v more_o for_o that_o desire_n of_o more_o can_v never_o say_v enough_o but_o still_o it_o cry_v for_o more_o out_o of_o this_o pestilent_a root_n spring_v all_o the_o pope_n dispensation_n his_o union_n his_o plurality_n his_o triality_n and_o his_o totquot_n his_o dispensation_n of_o non_fw-la residens_fw-la his_o

forget_v these_o word_n which_o paul_n write_v to_o timothe_n 6_o thou_o man_n of_o god_n flee_v from_o these_o thing_n and_o follow_v thou_o righteousness_n faith_n love_n patience_n and_o meekness_n and_o he_o must_v print_v in_o memory_n the_o word_n of_o christ_n which_o say_v first_o seek_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n and_o the_o righteousness_n thereof_o 6._o and_o all_o these_o thing_n shall_v be_v minister_v unto_o you_o to_o conclude_v he_o must_v have_v write_v in_o his_o heart_n the_o word_n of_o christ_n to_o peter_n which_o be_v thief_n peter_n 21._o do_v thou_o love_v i_o feed_v my_o lamb_n feed_v my_o sheep_n feed_v my_o sheep_n and_o the_o word_n of_o the_o same_o peter_n to_o all_o his_o fellow_n elder_n which_o be_v these_o feed_v the_o flock_n of_o christ_n as_o much_o as_o lie_v in_o you_o 5._o take_v the_o oversight_n of_o they_o not_o as_o compel_v thereto_o but_o willing_o after_o a_o godly_a sort_n not_o for_o the_o desire_n of_o filthy_a lucre_n but_o of_o a_o good_a mind_n not_o as_o though_o you_o be_v lord_n over_o the_o parish_n but_o that_o you_o be_v a_o ensample_n to_o the_o flock_n and_o that_o with_o good_a will_n etc_n etc_n but_o if_o his_o call_n be_v civil_a he_o must_v use_v the_o sword_n in_o punish_v sin_n accord_v to_o the_o law_n of_o his_o country_n remember_v always_o that_o he_o be_v appoint_v by_o god_n himself_o 13._o to_o be_v the_o revenger_n of_o his_o quarrel_n upon_o earth_n and_o therefore_o he_o must_v ever_o be_v mindful_a of_o the_o curse_n that_o jeremy_n have_v pronounce_v against_o all_o that_o work_n the_o lord_n work_n negligent_o 48_o he_o must_v also_o be_v mindful_a of_o the_o word_n of_o isaiah_n which_o say_v of_o the_o ruler_n of_o jerusalem_n in_o this_o wise_n thy_o prince_n be_v the_o companion_n of_o thief_n 1._o for_o they_o love_v bribe_n and_o they_o hunt_v after_o reward_n and_o the_o consideration_n of_o these_o word_n must_v move_v he_o to_o hate_v all_o manner_n of_o
