this_o world_n notwithstanding_o of_o the_o spiritual_a power_n of_o christ_n in_o their_o ministry_n now_o the_o apostle_n have_v thus_o answer_v their_o objection_n he_o come_v to_o prove_v his_o former_a assertion_n to_o wit_n that_o christ_n in_o his_o ministry_n be_v not_o weak_a towards_o they_o but_o be_v mighty_a in_o they_o so_o that_o this_o their_o seek_v of_o a_o far_a proof_n of_o

they_o in_o not_o spare_v they_o at_o his_o come_n if_o before_o his_o come_n they_o do_v not_o reverence_v his_o word_n and_o yield_v obedience_n to_o his_o admonition_n upon_o the_o proof_n bypass_v in_o themselves_o of_o christ_n mighty_a power_n towards_o they_o in_o his_o ministry_n the_o argument_n of_o confirmation_n be_v draw_v from_o their_o own_o testimony_n ground_v upon_o their_o own_o knowledge_n &_o experience_n in_o themselves_o which_o testimony_n the_o apostle_n do_v forcible_o constrain_v they_o to_o yield_v by_o a_o argument_n take_v from_o the_o woeful_a consequence_n which_o must_v necessary_a follow_v upon_o the_o contrary_a the_o consequence_n be_v that_o if_o they_o acknowledge_v not_o this_o experience_n in_o themselves_o of_o christ_n power_n in_o his_o ministry_n towards_o they_o than_o they_o themselves_o must_v be_v reprobate_a christian_n but_o because_o many_o careless_o and_o negligent_o do_v pass_v by_o the_o right_a consideration_n and_o observation_n of_o the_o powerful_a effect_n of_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o themselves_o and_o so_o do_v fall_v in_o this_o sin_n of_o the_o corinthian_n despise_v that_o which_o they_o shall_v high_o esteem_v of_o the_o apostle_n therefore_o refer_v not_o the_o proof_n of_o his_o assertion_n to_o what_o they_o will_v unadvisedlie_o say_v and_o witness_v of_o this_o might_n of_o christ_n towards_o they_o in_o his_o ministry_n but_o unto_o their_o testimony_n upon_o sufficient_a trial_n and_o examination_n of_o themselves_o in_o themselves_o upon_o which_o he_o bold_o affirm_v that_o they_o shall_v either_o find_v his_o ministry_n powerful_a or_o themselves_o reprobat_n if_o then_o we_o will_v consider_v this_o argument_n in_o all_o the_o particularity_n therein_o contain_v there_o be_v 4_o thing_n to_o be_v mark_v of_o we_o the_o 1_o be_v the_o trial_n and_o examination_n of_o themselves_o the_o 2_o be_v these_o thing_n whereof_o they_o be_v to_o take_v trial_n in_o themselves_o the_o 3_o be_v the_o argument_n remove_v all_o excuse_n of_o ignorance_n or_o pretence_n of_o impossibility_n of_o discern_v these_o thing_n in_o themselves_o the_o 4_o be_v the_o argument_n itself_o whereby_o the_o apostle_n draw_v they_o to_o a_o necessity_n of_o acknowledge_v the_o power_n of_o christ_n in_o his_o ministry_n towards_o they_o from_o the_o hard_a consequence_n that_o must_v follow_v upon_o the_o contrary_n before_o we_o speak_v of_o these_o particular_n its_o necessary_a that_o first_o we_o mark_v and_o consider_v the_o main_a point_n of_o the_o apostle_n doctrine_n in_o this_o place_n first_o lay_v this_o supposition_n that_o the_o hearer_n be_v true_a christian_n and_o not_o reprobate_n he_o conclude_v absolute_o that_o they_o must_v have_v proof_n and_o experience_n of_o the_o mighty_a power_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o ministry_n of_o those_o man_n by_o who_o they_o be_v either_o first_o call_v or_o afterward_o confirm_v in_o grace_n thereupon_o he_o seem_v evident_o to_o conclude_v these_o position_n follow_v first_o where_o no_o proof_n of_o christ_n power_n in_o the_o ministry_n be_v find_v or_o feel_v by_o the_o hearer_n either_o the_o teacher_n must_v be_v a_o reprobate_a teacher_n or_o the_o hearer_n reprobate_a hearer_n second_o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o those_o who_o be_v the_o elect_a of_o god_n can_v be_v without_o sense_n &_o feeling_n of_o christ_n mighty_a power_n unto_o salvation_n in_o those_o who_o be_v the_o true_a minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n three_o that_o want_v of_o sense_n &_o feeling_n in_o the_o hearer_n of_o this_o power_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o ministry_n of_o his_o faithful_a servant_n do_v evident_o evince_v such_o hearer_n to_o be_v reprobate_n last_o that_o those_o minister_n in_o who_o ministry_n the_o hearer_n be_v of_o god_n elect_v do_v find_v no_o sense_n or_o evidence_n of_o christ_n power_n unto_o salvation_n must_v needs_o be_v reprobate_a minister_n for_o the_o true_a ministry_n of_o 24_o christ_n jesus_n be_v the_o power_n of_o god_n unto_o salvation_n to_o all_o that_o be_v to_o be_v 18._o save_v and_o be_v foolishness_n to_o none_o but_o such_o as_o perish_v and_o if_o it_o be_v not_o the_o power_n of_o god_n to_o they_o that_o be_v save_v it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o that_o man_n ministry_n be_v not_o of_o god_n these_o general_a position_n shall_v be_v most_o clear_o and_o evident_a unto_o we_o after_o the_o exposition_n of_o the_o 4_o former_a particular_a point_n contain_v in_o the_o apostle_n argument_n whereof_o we_o be_v now_o to_o speak_v the_o 1_o point_n be_v the_o trial_n whereunto_o the_o apostle_n do_v invite_v they_o wherein_o 2_o thing_n be_v special_o to_o be_v observe_v the_o 1_o be_v the_o action_n itself_o of_o trial_n or_o
