the_o word_n commit_v unto_o they_o and_o sometime_o they_o do_v declare_v dictinct_a and_o peculiar_a function_n in_o which_o sense_n we_o take_v they_o in_o the_o treatise_n follow_v 7_o of_o these_o five_o the_o three_o first_o be_v temporary_a have_v also_o every_o one_o of_o they_o a_o distinct_a ministry_n and_o they_o be_v peculiarlie_o call_v apostle_n evangelist_n and_o prophet_n as_o be_v appoint_v for_o the_o plant_n of_o the_o church_n throughout_o the_o world_n by_o the_o publish_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n the_o other_o two_o calling_n be_v perpetuallie_o to_o remain_v unto_o the_o last_o come_n of_o christ_n 8_o the_o chief_a and_o most_o excellent_a of_o all_o these_o be_v the_o twelve_o apostle_n unto_o who_o number_n paul_n be_v afterward_o call_v as_o it_o be_v the_o embassador_n of_o god_n who_o be_v elect_v and_o admit_v neither_o of_o man_n neither_o by_o man_n but_o of_o christ_n immediate_o that_o all_o of_o they_o be_v of_o equal_a authority_n among_o themselves_o shall_v become_v the_o master-workman_n of_o the_o building_n whereabout_o they_o be_v to_o be_v employ_v be_v strict_o tie_v unto_o no_o certain_a congregation_n 9_o they_o therefore_o as_o they_o be_v lead_v by_o the_o inspiration_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n or_o by_o some_o peculiar_a commandment_n of_o god_n travel_v through_o many_o country_n preach_v the_o grace_n of_o christ_n every_o where_o unto_o all_o man_n the_o which_o they_o both_o confirm_v with_o miracle_n and_o seal_v by_o the_o administration_n of_o the_o sacrament_n they_o also_o commit_v the_o church_n which_o they_o have_v plant_v to_o be_v govern_v by_o their_o pastor_n and_o doctor_n as_o time_n and_o place_n will_v permit_v this_o office_n be_v faithful_o perform_v by_o they_o and_o they_o be_v call_v out_o of_o this_o life_n the_o apostolical_a call_n also_o cease_v 10_o hence_o it_o appear_v how_o vain_a and_o detestable_a in_o all_o godly_a ear_n be_v that_o voice_n of_o the_o romishe_a prelate_n who_o be_v not_o afraid_a to_o profess_v himself_o a_o apostle_n by_o virtue_n of_o his_o tyrannical_a succession_n and_o be_v not_o ashamed_a under_o the_o feign_a pretence_n of_o peter_n primacy_n to_o call_v himself_o chief_a or_o prince_n of_o the_o apostle_n among_o who_o there_o be_v none_o either_o great_a or_o lesser_a than_o other_o and_o even_o the_o head_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n 11_o it_o be_v out_o of_o controversy_n that_o all_o those_o be_v call_v prophet_n who_o by_o the_o inspiration_n of_o god_n spirit_n forsawe_v and_o foretold_v thing_n to_o come_v who_o call_v before_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n be_v when_o the_o priest_n grow_v negligent_a to_o direct_v the_o faith_n of_o the_o saint_n unto_o the_o promise_a salvation_n and_o also_o both_o to_o raise_v up_o the_o godly_a &_o to_o beat_v down_o the_o disobedient_a by_o their_o divine_a revelation_n so_o also_o at_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n they_o be_v call_v prophet_n who_o be_v endue_v with_o a_o peculiar_a gift_n of_o revelation_n or_o divine_a wisdom_n wherewith_o god_n will_v at_o that_o time_n adorn_v his_o church_n of_o this_o sort_n be_v agabus_n &_o the_o four_o daughter_n of_o philip_n the_o evangelist_n mention_v in_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o other_o undoubted_o not_o a_o few_o 12_o sometime_o notwithstanding_o the_o word_n prophet_n and_o prophesy_v in_o the_o scripture_n be_v take_v in_o a_o manifold_a sense_n and_o signify_v all_o those_o in_o general_a who_o execute_v the_o function_n of_o the_o pastor_n for_o in_o this_o sense_n the_o apostle_n say_v he_o that_o prophesi_v aedifi_v the_o church_n exhort_v comfort_v reprove_v the_o contrary_a doctrine_n 13_o under_o the_o name_n evangelist_n be_v understand_v those_o who_o the_o apostle_n use_v as_o their_o companion_n and_o fellow_n labourer_n because_o they_o themselves_o be_v not_o sufficient_o able_a to_o perform_v every_o work_n in_o all_o the_o church_n of_o this_o sort_n be_v timothy_n and_o titus_n silvanus_n and_o other_o 14_o now_o their_o office_n be_v to_o perform_v the_o work_n begin_v or_o otherwise_o commit_v unto_o they_o by_o the_o apostle_n as_o it_o be_v manifest_v especial_o out_o of_o the_o epistle_n of_o paul_n to_o timothy_n and_o titus_n who_o calling_n be_v also_o temporary_a those_o four_o in_o like_a sort_n be_v call_v evangelist_n in_o a_o more_o strict_a signification_n who_o service_n the_o lord_n use_v for_o the_o write_n of_o the_o story_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o describe_v the_o beginning_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n 15_o there_o remain_v two_o calling_n belong_v to_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n to_o wit_n pastor_n and_o doctor_n who_o be_v distinguish_v from_o the_o former_a in_o a_o threefold_a respect_n first_o in_o that_o they_o be_v not_o immediate_o but_o have_v be_v ever_o since_o the_o time_n of_o the_o apostle_n ordain_v by_o the_o ministry_n of_o man_n according_a unto_o that_o form_n whereof_o we_o shall_v speak_v secondlie_o in_o that_o they_o be_v tie_v unto_o a_o certain_a congregation_n last_o because_o the_o lord_n have_v ordain_v both_o these_o function_n to_o be_v perpetual_a in_o the_o church_n 16_o the_o proper_a &_o the_o peculiar_a function_n of_o the_o doctor_n be_v to_o teach_v the_o doctrine_n of_o true_a religion_n by_o the_o faithful_a interpret_n of_o the_o scripture_n to_o defend_v the_o same_o against_o the_o gainsayer_n and_o to_o govern_v the_o ecclesiastical_a school_n 17_o now_o the_o ministry_n of_o pastor_n as_o of_o the_o priest_n in_o time_n past_a consist_v in_o three_o point_n first_o not_o only_o in_o the_o simple_a lay_v open_a of_o the_o prophetical_a and_o apostolical_a doctrine_n which_o we_o say_v to_o be_v the_o office_n of_o the_o doctor_n but_o also_o both_o in_o the_o private_a and_o public_a application_n thereof_o by_o sincere_a and_o diligent_a teach_n reprove_v correct_v and_o instruct_v next_o in_o the_o administration_n of_o the_o sacrament_n which_o be_v come_v in_o place_n of_o the_o legal_a rite_n brief_o in_o conceave_a public_a prayer_n which_o be_v not_o the_o least_o part_n of_o the_o ecclesiastical_a ministry_n 18_o the_o administration_n of_o the_o word_n also_o be_v commit_v unto_o the_o elder_n peculiarlie_o so_o call_v who_o paul_n do_v especial_o express_v by_o the_o name_n of_o governor_n but_o not_o simple_o to_o that_o end_n for_o the_o which_o it_o be_v commit_v unto_o the_o pastor_n and_o doctor_n for_o they_o do_v not_o administer_v the_o word_n either_o publicklie_o unto_o the_o whole_a congregation_n or_o privatlie_o unto_o some_o but_o have_v authority_n to_o administer_v the_o ecclesiastical_a censure_n together_o with_o the_o pastor_n by_o reprove_v rebuke_v and_o bind_v if_o necessity_n so_o require_v those_o who_o by_o due_a trial_n be_v find_v to_o walk_v inordinate_o in_o the_o church_n be_v such_o as_o can_v be_v otherwise_o amend_v which_o be_v do_v not_o that_o sinner_n shall_v perish_v but_o contrariwise_o that_o be_v humble_v at_o least_o by_o shame_n they_o may_v return_v into_o the_o right_a way_n 19_o these_o together_o with_o the_o pastor_n though_o distinguish_v by_o their_o function_n as_o we_o say_v be_v some_o time_n call_v by_o a_o general_a and_o common_a name_n of_o bishop_n overseer_n ruler_n and_o that_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o flock_n which_o they_o be_v to_o rule_v and_o govern_v 20_o deacon_n peculiarlie_o so_o call_v be_v those_o who_o have_v the_o charge_n both_o of_o the_o receive_n and_o also_o of_o the_o orderly_a distribution_n of_o the_o alm_n and_o the_o administration_n of_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o church-goods_a and_o the_o apply_v of_o they_o to_o the_o

necessity_n of_o the_o poor_a 21_o now_o it_o be_v unlawful_a for_o any_o man_n to_o intermeddle_v with_o these_o holy_a function_n except_o he_o be_v right_o call_v &_o a_o lawful_a call_n be_v
