certain_a objection_n that_o be_v bring_v in_o against_o the_o universality_n of_o this_o truth_n the_o first_o objection_n be_v this_o that_o none_o ought_v to_o preach_v but_o those_o in_o office_n none_o else_o may_v proper_o be_v say_v to_o preach_v to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o when_o the_o disperse_a christian_n be_v scatter_v in_o that_o persecution_n it_o be_v say_v that_o they_o go_v about_o preach_v and_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v with_o they_o and_o great_a multitude_n believe_v and_o turn_v to_o the_o lord_n act_n 11._o 19_o 20_o 21._o but_o some_o object_n and_o say_v that_o this_o be_v not_o such_o preach_n as_o be_v mention_v in_o rom._n 10._o 14_o 15._o but_o it_o be_v manifest_a and_o clear_a that_o they_o strive_v about_o word_n and_o to_o no_o purpose_n at_o all_o for_o there_o be_v that_o very_a preach_v and_o that_o very_o send_v as_o be_v there_o mention_v in_o that_o ten_o to_o the_o rom._n and_o the_o 15._o for_o that_o preach_n of_o the_o disperse_a christian_n be_v make_v necessary_a for_o the_o work_n of_o faith_n else_o the_o text_n say_v not_o right_a in_o say_v they_o believe_v but_o some_o far_a object_n and_o say_v that_o these_o be_v all_o church-officer_n and_o so_o may_v preach_v where_o ever_o they_o come_v to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o it_o can_v not_o be_v so_o for_o we_o never_o read_v in_o all_o the_o whole_a book_n of_o god_n that_o all_o the_o member_n of_o a_o church_n be_v offiicer_n but_o this_o be_v aparent_a that_o all_o the_o member_n be_v scatter_v only_a apostle_n as_o you_o may_v see_v it_o in_o the_o 8._o of_o the_o act_n the_o first_o i_o shall_v gi●e_n you_o another_o instance_n in_o the_o four_o of_o john_n and_o the_o 39_o it_o be_v say_v that_o many_o of_o the_o samaritan_n believe_v at_o the_o report_n of_o the_o woman_n if_o it_o be_v so_o than_o one_o of_o these_o must_v needs_o befall_v those_o that_o ho●d_fw-mi none_o ought_v to_o preach_v but_o those_o that_o be_v church-officer_n and_o this_o woman_n be_v a_o church-officer_n and_o so_o a_o harrolld_n and_o a_o ambassador_n and_o so_o send_v and_o so_o preach_v or_o else_o that_o the_o spirit_n be_v mistake_v that_o say_v they_o believe_v another_o instance_n we_o have_v of_o one_o that_o be_v no_o church_n officer_n and_o yet_o a_o preacher_n and_o a_o publisher_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o the_o eight_o of_o luke_n and_o the_o 38_o 39_o the_o man_n out_o of_o who_o the_o devil_n be_v cast_v out_o christ_n send_v he_o away_o and_o bid_v he_o go_v and_o declare_v what_o great_a thing_n he_o have_v do_v to_o he_o and_o the_o text_n say_v that_o he_o go_v and_o preach_v in_o the_o city_n it_o be_v manifest_a that_o this_o man_n be_v n●_n church-officer_n and_o yet_o a_o preacher_n of_o the_o gospel_n again_o what_o think_v you_o of_o moses_n desire_n when_o he_o desire_v that_o all_o the_o lord_n people_n be_v prophet_n either_o moses_n say_v you_o jeer_v or_o else_o he_o wish_v that_o all_o
