good_a that_o the_o church_n be_v further_o and_o more_o sound_o satissy_v by_o you_o in_o these_o 2._o point_n which_o you_o alone_o in_o our_o church_n have_v public_o call_v in_o question_n and_o for_o my_o own_o part_n when_o you_o have_v do_v i_o know_v not_o who_o will_v be_v your_o adversary_n i_o see_v no_o reason_n why_o i_o shall_v deal_v in_o controversy_n of_o so_o small_a gain_n of_o this_o i_o be_o assure_v that_o neither_o popish_a priest_n nor_o any_o other_o ignorant_a guide_n be_v minister_n whether_o the_o element_n administer_v by_o they_o be_v a_o sacrament_n or_o no_o look_v you_o to_o that_o which_o have_v in_o your_o treatise_n debate_v that_o which_o my_o writing_n never_o call_v into_o question_n if_o you_o will_v needs_o prove_v reader_n to_o be_v minister_n because_o you_o can_v not_o get_v i_o to_o deny_v that_o which_o have_v be_v administer_v to_o be_v a_o sacrament_n you_o shall_v but_o press_v that_o which_o will_v prove_v nothing_o your_o reason_n be_v as_o if_o you_o shall_v say_v that_o either_o all_o they_o which_o supply_v the_o place_n of_o minister_n be_v minister_n or_o else_o a_o inconvenience_n be_v likely_a to_o follow_v a_o strange_a manner_n of_o demonstration_n god_n ordinance_n must_v needs_o be_v thrust_v out_o of_o the_o door_n because_o a_o inconvenience_n will_v be_v likely_a to_o ensue_v the_o admittinge_n of_o it_o the_o cause_n will_v not_o be_v thus_o answer_v at_o your_o hand_n and_o i_o be_o sorry_a that_o a_o man_n so_o reverend_a in_o my_o eye_n have_v deal_v so_o unsubstantial_o in_o a_o matter_n belong_v to_o the_o service_n of_o the_o everliving_a god_n the_o slenderness_n of_o the_o reason_n be_v apparent_a in_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o the_o book_n i_o have_v far_o show_v the_o same_o thither_o i_o be_o to_o refer_v you_o and_o the_o reader_n now_o i_o can_v well_o overpasse_v these_o two_o point_n because_o of_o themselves_o they_o contain_v nothing_o that_o i_o have_v withstand_v but_o in_o as_o much_o as_o you_o have_v not_o only_o ground_v they_o upon_o false_a principle_n and_o such_o as_o in_o no_o wise_a can_v be_v warraunt_v by_o the_o canon_n of_o the_o word_n but_o also_o infer_v upon_o their_o grant_n that_o our_o reader_n be_v minister_n and_o consequent_o that_o it_o be_v no_o sin_n to_o communicate_v with_o they_o i_o be_o first_o to_o set_v down_o the_o state_n of_o the_o question_n which_o in_o deed_n be_v and_o aught_o to_o be_v decide_v between_o you_o and_o i_o concern_v the_o element_n administer_v both_o by_o popish_a priest_n and_o other_o unpreach_a minister_n and_o second_o to_o examine_v the_o ground_n whereby_o you_o prove_v the_o element_n already_o deliver_v by_o they_o to_o be_v a_o sacrament_n which_o you_o know_v i_o do_v not_o deny_v to_o be_v so_o other_o and_o this_o be_v the_o point_n that_o concern_v our_o state_n rather_o than_o the_o other_o the_o question_n therefore_o be_v not_o whether_o the_o one_o or_o the_o other_o of_o they_o have_v deliver_v a_o sacrament_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o action_n do_v but_o whether_o a_o christian_n go_v unto_o they_o for_o those_o holy_a seal_n may_v be_v assure_v that_o he_o can_v receive_v the_o same_o at_o their_o hand_n i_o affirm_v that_o we_o can_v not_o m._n some_o take_v it_o grant_v that_o we_o may_v my_o warrant_n be_v out_o of_o the_o word_n because_o there_o be_v no_o promise_n make_v to_o we_o therein_o that_o the_o action_n celebrate_v by_o such_o man_n be_v a_o sacramental_a action_n and_o where_o there_o be_v no_o promise_n there_o can_v be_v no_o assurance_n because_o our_o assurance_n arise_v only_o of_o faith_n which_o must_v be_v ground_v upon_o the_o promise_n set_v down_o in_o the_o word_n we_o have_v no_o promise_n that_o they_o can_v deliver_v we_o a_o sacrament_n because_o they_o be_v no_o minister_n for_o they_o only_o be_v enjoin_v by_o our_o saviour_n christ_n to_o deliver_v a_o sacrament_n 28.18.19_o matth._n 28.18.19_o neither_o do_v we_o know_v what_o he_o can_v deliver_v which_o be_v no_o minister_n so_o that_o the_o question_n be_v now_o grow_v to_o this_o issue_n whether_o popish_a priest_n and_o our_o unpreachinge_a minister_n be_v minister_n or_o no_o who_o if_o i_o can_v prove_v to_o be_v none_o than_o the_o matter_n be_v clear_a that_o no_o man_n go_v unto_o they_o for_o the_o sacrament_n can_v assure_v himself_o there_o to_o have_v the_o same_o and_o this_o shall_v be_v a_o general_a reason_n equal_o belonginge_v unto_o both_o the_o point_n handle_v by_o you_o the_o particular_n whereof_o shall_v follow_v in_o their_o place_n that_o no_o popish_a priest_n therefore_o be_v a_o minister_n 1_o every_o minister_n must_v be_v at_o the_o least_o by_o profession_n a_o member_n of_o the_o true_a church_n no_o popish_a priest_n be_v by_o profession_n a_o member_n of_o the_o true_a church_n therefore_o no_o popish_a priest_n be_v a_o minister_n 2_o every_o minister_n have_v a_o office_n with_o in_o the_o body_n of_o the_o church_n no_o popish_a priest_n have_v a_o office_n within_o the_o body_n of_o the_o church_n therefore_o no_o popish_a priest_n be_v a_o minister_n the_o proposition_n or_o first_o part_n of_o both_o these_o reason_n be_v set_v down_o evident_o and_o plain_o by_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n in_o these_o word_n for_o as_o we_o have_v many_o member_n in_o one_o body_n 5.6_o rom._n 12.4_o 5.6_o and_o all_o member_n have_v not_o one_o office_n so_o we_o be_v many_o be_v one_o body_n in_o christ_n and_o everye_o one_o a_o other_o member_n see_v then_o that_o we_o have_v gift_n that_o be_v diverse_a etc._n etc._n the_o place_n show_v clear_o that_o whosoever_o be_v not_o a_o member_n be_v not_o of_o the_o body_n if_o not_o of_o the_o body_n than_o no_o minister_n a_o gain_n whosoever_o be_v no_o member_n he_o have_v no_o office_n in_o the_o body_n if_o no_o office_n no_o minister_n he_o that_o shall_v object_v that_o in_o this_o place_n be_v mente_fw-la a_o member_n of_o the_o body_n by_o election_n in_o the_o secret_a counsel_n of_o god_n and_o not_o in_o the_o acknowledgement_n of_o the_o church_n by_o profession_n will_v not_o deserve_v the_o answer_n because_o it_o be_v vocation_n and_o not_o election_n that_o make_v such_o a_o member_n in_o the_o church_n as_o may_v have_v a_o office_n therein_o of_o which_o sort_n the_o apostle_n speak_v in_o this_o place_n by_o vocation_n i_o mean_v that_o whereof_o the_o holy_a ghost_n speak_v where_o it_o be_v say_v many_o be_v call_v but_o few_o be_v choose_v 20.10_o matth._n 20.10_o neither_o can_v any_o man_n deny_v he_o to_o be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o church_n which_o by_o outward_a profession_n submit_v himself_o unto_o true_a religion_n and_o such_o be_v the_o member_n whereof_o the_o apostle_n speak_v thing_n to_o be_v a_o member_n so_o the_o true_a church_n be_v one_o thing_n and_o to_o be_v a_o true_a member_n of_o the_o church_n be_v another_o thing_n namely_o such_o as_o be_v member_n in_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o church_n judas_n be_v a_o member_n in_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o church_n though_o not_o belong_v to_o election_n a_o further_a proof_n of_o the_o proposition_n you_o shall_v find_v 1._o cor_fw-la 12.26.28_o he_o be_v no_o priest_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n that_o be_v not_o a_o jew_n by_o profession_n yea_o and_o of_o the_o line_n of_o aaron_n to_o and_o shall_v he_o be_v account_v a_o minister_n among_o we_o that_o be_v a_o stranger_n from_o the_o profession_n of_o the_o truth_n &_o a_o profess_a idolater_n ishmael_n &_o esau_n be_v circumcise_v and_o the_o son_n of_o those_o father_n unto_o who_o the_o covenaunt_n be_v make_v even_o i_o will_v be_v thy_o god_n &_o the_o god_n of_o thy_o seed_n they_o &_o their_o posterity_n fall_v from_o true_a religion_n well_o admit_v that_o the_o profanation_n of_o circumcision_n have_v still_o continue_v in_o their_o house_n yet_o a_o man_n supply_v the_o place_n of_o a_o priest_n among_o they_o be_v no_o priest_n in_o deed_n though_o he_o ten_o thousand_o time_n profane_v circumcision_n and_o will_v brag_v never_o so_o often_o that_o he_o worship_v after_o his_o idolatrous_a manner_n no_o other_o god_n but_o the_o god_n of_o his_o father_n abraham_n &_o swear_v only_o by_o the_o fear_n of_o his_o father_n isaak_n the_o reason_n hereof_o be_v because_o that_o every_o priest_n under_o the_o law_n must_v be_v a_o israelite_n by_o profession_n that_o be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o true_a church_n neither_o can_v any_o of_o the_o godly_a assure_v themselves_o that_o a_o edomitishe_a priest_n administer_v true_a circumcision_n according_a to_o the_o substance_n now_o i_o reckon_v of_o a_o popish_a priest_n no_o otherwise_o they_o i_o will_v have_v do_v of_o a_o ismaelitishe_a or_o edomitish_a circumcisiser_n the_o
idolator_n therefore_o they_o be_v no_o minister_n the_o proposition_n appear_v in_o that_o a_o minister_n can_v be_v make_v by_o none_o but_o by_o such_o as_o unto_o who_o the_o lord_n have_v give_v leave_n to_o deal_v in_o that_o action_n otherwise_o the_o action_n be_v frustrate_a as_o if_o a_o company_n of_o woman_n though_o religious_a and_o godly_a shall_v go_v about_o to_o make_v a_o minister_n the_o action_n be_v nothing_o of_o the_o assumption_n that_o popish_a priest_n be_v make_v by_o idolator_n i_o make_v no_o question_n and_o when_o do_v god_n give_v idolator_n leave_v to_o make_v minister_n see_v therefore_o that_o popish_a priest_n be_v no_o minister_n i_o see_v no_o show_n of_o probability_n whereupon_o my_o faith_n or_o the_o faith_n of_o any_o can_v be_v assure_v to_o receive_v true_a baptism_n at_o their_o hand_n unless_o it_o can_v be_v show_v by_o you_o m._n some_o that_o either_o there_o may_v be_v faith_n where_o there_o be_v no_o promise_n or_o that_o there_o be_v a_o promise_n to_o receive_v a_o sacrament_n where_o there_o be_v no_o minister_n which_o no_o man_n of_o any_o christian_n modesty_n will_v affirm_v hence_o also_o it_o follow_v that_o neither_o the_o obstinate_a crew_n of_o recusant_n in_o this_o land_n who_o offer_v their_o child_n to_o be_v profane_v by_o traitorous_a &_o runagate_n jesuit_n nor_o any_o else_o within_o the_o body_n of_o the_o romish_a babylon_n can_v assure_v themselves_o that_o their_o child_n receive_v the_o substance_n of_o baptism_n my_o reason_n beside_o that_o they_o be_v no_o minister_n be_v these_o and_o i_o desire_v that_o they_o may_v be_v examine_v by_o you_o good_a m._n some_o where_o you_o must_v remember_v that_o i_o speak_v not_o of_o that_o which_o have_v be_v do_v yesterday_o

therefore_o again_o i_o appeal_v to_o the_o word_n see_v therefore_o in_o popery_n there_o be_v no_o church_n no_o ministry_n no_o christ_n see_v we_o ought_v in_o no_o case_n to_o be_v join_v with_o

testament_n be_v a_o preach_a ministry_n 8_o the_o ministry_n of_o our_o unpreach_a minister_n be_v not_o a_o preach_a ministry_n if_o you_o can_v show_v either_o of_o these_o 3._o point_n to_o be_v false_a i_o be_o overthrow_v if_o neither_o you_o must_v yield_v the_o truth_n of_o all_o three_o i_o have_v show_v out_o of_o the_o word_n in_o the_o last_o edition_n of_o my_o book_n the_o two_o former_a be_v confirm_v by_o the_o place_n quote_v on_o the_o margin_n the_o latter_a i_o will_v brief_o prove_v by_o these_o reason_n 1_o if_o the_o ministry_n of_o unpreach_v minister_n be_v a_o preach_a ministry_n or_o if_o their_o function_n be_v a_o pastoral_a or_o doctoral_a function_n than_o there_o have_v be_v a_o preach_a ministry_n a_o pastoral_a and_o doctoral_a function_n know_v in_o the_o church_n though_o there_o never_o have_v be_v any_o preacher_n therein_o otherwise_o how_o can_v their_o ministry_n be_v a_o preach_a ministry_n or_o their_o function_n be_v a_o pastoral_a function_n whereas_o the_o same_o may_v be_v in_o the_o church_n no_o preach_a ministry_n or_o pastoral_a function_n be_v know_v there_o but_o no_o church_n much_o less_o a_o ministry_n have_v there_o be_v know_v if_o there_o never_o have_v be_v any_o that_o can_v have_v preach_v because_o god_n ordain_v the_o saint_n and_o so_o a_o church_n only_o to_o be_v gather_v together_o by_o preach_v ordinary_o but_o not_o by_o the_o ministry_n of_o reader_n because_o it_o may_v have_v be_v in_o the_o world_n and_o yet_o no_o saint_n gather_v thereby_o which_o thing_n experience_n in_o our_o church_n proove_v to_o be_v to_o true_a my_o 2._o and_o 3_o reason_n be_v draw_v out_o of_o these_o word_n of_o paul_n rom._n 13.6.7.8_o see_v then_o that_o we_o have_v gift_n that_o be_v diverse_a according_a to_o the_o grace_n that_o be_v give_v unto_o we_o whether_o we_o have_v prophesy_v let_v we_o prophesy_v according_a to_o the_o proportion_n of_o faith_n or_o a_o office_n let_v we_o wait_v on_o the_o office_n or_o he_o that_o teach_v on_o teach_v or_o he_o that_o exhort_v on_o exhort_v etc._n etc._n the_o 2._o reason_n be_v thus_o conclude_v whosoever_o have_v receive_v a_o ministry_n and_o so_o a_o pastoral_a or_o doctoral_a function_n he_o have_v receive_v pprophecy_n speak_v of_o in_o this_o place_n verse_n 6._o because_o every_o pastoral_a or_o doctoral_a function_n mention_v in_o the_o 7._o &_o 8._o verse_n under_o these_o word_n he_o that_o teach_v he_o that_o exhort_v be_v contain_v under_o the_o word_n prophesy_v verse_n 6._o insomuch_o as_o he_o that_o have_v not_o receive_v that_o pprophecy_n there_o set_v down_o whereby_o be_v mean_v the_o interpretation_n of_o the_o word_n he_o have_v not_o receive_v the_o pastoral_a or_o doctoral_a function_n set_v down_o vers_n 7.8_o but_o unpreach_v minister_n have_v not_o receive_v the_o pprophecy_n speak_v of_o in_o this_o place_n which_o be_v express_o set_v down_o verse_n 6._o to_o be_v one_o of_o the_o diverse_a gift_n bestow_v for_o the_o government_n of_o the_o body_n which_o be_v the_o church_n therefore_o also_o they_o have_v receive_v neither_o a_o pastoral_a nor_o a_o doctoral_a function_n and_o so_o no_o preach_a ministry_n 3_o no_o ministry_n be_v separate_v from_o a_o gift_n because_o prophesy_v speak_v of_o in_o this_o 6._o verse_n under_o which_o as_o we_o see_v every_o pastoral_a and_o doctoral_a ministry_n be_v contain_v can_v not_o be_v sever_v from_o a_o gift_n but_o the_o ministry_n of_o our_o reader_n be_v sever_v in_o they_o from_o a_o gift_n therefore_o in_o they_o it_o be_v no_o ministry_n it_o be_v no_o ministry_n in_o they_o i_o say_v although_o that_o ministry_n the_o general_a name_n whereof_o they_o have_v be_v not_o sever_v from_o a_o gift_n in_o preach_v minister_n but_o what_o be_v that_o to_o they_o what_o be_v the_o ministry_n of_o other_o man_n unto_o they_o they_o be_v not_o minister_n by_o the_o ministry_n wherewith_o other_o man_n be_v
