We testify vnto you this day that we are cleane from the bloud of you all for we haue not failed to shew you the whole Counsell of God concerning the regiment of his Church Hitherto wee haue somewhat at large set foorth the principall parte of a Pastors office which is to preach the word of God and to instruct the people committed to his charge in the same Here followeth now in the second part of his duety which consisteth in right administration of the Sacramentes of God For seeing it hath pleased God to adde such outwarde signes to be helpes of our infirmitie as seales for confirmation of his promises vttered by his worde Rom. 4. 11. He hath appoynted ministers of the same to deliuer them vnto his people Math. 28. 19. Luke 22. 19. For no man may take vppon him any office in the Church but he that is called of God as was Aaron Heb. 3. 4. Seeing therefore that God hath giuen some to bee Pastours in his Church Ephes. 4. 11. And it is the duetie of Pastours to feede the flocke of God committed to their charge with all maner of spirituall pasture of their soules appoynted by God 1. Cor. 4. 1. And that the Sacramentes are a part of this spiritual food it is manifest that it belongeth to the dutie of Pastors to administer the holy Sacramentes and that the Sacramentes appertaine to the doctrine and worde of God it is euident that whome God hath instituted to be minister of the worde him also hath he made to be minister of the Sacramentes and as the Sacramentes are compared by the holye Ghost vnto seales and the worde or promise of God vnto writinges so it appertaineth to him to deliuer the seale which deliuereth the writings For as the seale hath alwayes relation vnto the writinges so haue the Sacramentes vnto the word of God By this it appeareth that as it is the duetie of euerye Pastour to administer the Sacramentes of Christe so this office appertayneth to none but to those which are ministers of the worde Our Sauiour Christ authorizing his Apostles to Baptize all Nations sayeth Goe yee foorth and teache all Nations baptizing them in the name of the father the sonne and the Ghoste teaching them to obserue all thinges that I haue commaunded you Likewise to the same effect Goe yee foorth into the whole worlde and preache the Gospell to euery creature he that shall beleeue and is baptized shall be saued c.

Cor. 14. 34. 1. Tim. 2. 11. and that in priuate places but in case they say of necessity as though there were such necessity of the outward signe when it cannot bee ministred according to the institution of Christ which is nothing els but to
