that_o god_n do_v never_o do_v thing_n unreasonable_a nor_o will_v endure_v that_o order_n be_v interrupt_v to_o no_o purpose_n he_o will_v never_o give_v a_o extraordinary_a commission_n unless_o it_o be_v to_o a_o proportionable_a end_n whosoever_o pretend_v to_o a_o licence_n of_o preach_v by_o reason_n of_o a_o extraordinary_a call_n must_v look_v that_o he_o be_v furnish_v with_o a_o extraordinary_a message_n lest_o his_o commission_n be_v ridiculous_a and_o when_o he_o come_v he_o must_v be_v sure_a to_o show_v his_o authority_n by_o a_o argument_n proportionable_a that_o be_v by_o such_o a_o probation_n without_o which_o no_o wise_a man_n can_v reasonable_o believe_v he_o which_o can_v be_v less_o than_o miraculous_a and_o divine_a in_o all_o other_o case_n he_o come_v under_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o non_fw-la missi_fw-la those_o who_o god_n send_v not_o they_o go_v on_o their_o own_o errand_n and_o must_v pay_v themselves_o their_o wage_n but_o beside_o that_o the_o apostle_n be_v therefore_o to_o have_v a_o immediate_a mission_n because_o they_o be_v to_o receive_v new_a inctruction_n these_o inctruction_n be_v such_o as_o be_v by_o a_o ordinary_a and_o yet_o by_o a_o distinct_a ministry_n to_o be_v convey_v for_o ever_o after_o and_o therefore_o do_v design_n a_o ordinary_a successive_a and_o last_a power_n and_o authority_n nay_o our_o bless_a lord_n go_v one_o step_n further_o in_o this_o provision_n even_o to_o remark_n the_o very_a first_o successor_n and_o partaker_n of_o this_o power_n to_o be_v take_v into_o the_o lot_n of_o this_o ministry_n and_o they_o be_v the_o seventy-two_a who_o christ_n have_v send_v as_o probationer_n of_o their_o future_a preach_v upon_o a_o short_a errand_n into_o the_o city_n of_o judah_n but_o by_o this_o assignation_n of_o more_o person_n than_o those_o to_o who_o he_o give_v immediate_a commission_n he_o do_v declare_v that_o the_o office_n of_o preach_v be_v to_o be_v dispense_v by_o a_o separate_a and_o peculiar_a sort_n of_o man_n distinct_a from_o the_o people_n and_o yet_o by_o other_o than_o those_o who_o have_v the_o commission_n extraordinary_a that_o be_v by_o such_o who_o be_v to_o be_v call_v to_o it_o by_o a_o ordinary_a vocation_n as_o christ_n constitute_v the_o office_n and_o name_v the_o person_n both_o extraordinary_a and_o ordinary_a present_a and_o successive_a so_o he_o provide_v gift_n for_o they_o too_o that_o the_o whole_a dispensation_n may_v be_v his_o and_o may_v be_v apparent_a and_o therefore_o christ_n when_o he_o ascend_v up_o on_o high_a give_v gift_n to_o man_n to_o this_o very_a purpose_n and_o these_o gift_n come_v from_o the_o same_o spirit_n make_v separation_n of_o distinct_a ministery_n under_o the_o same_o lord_n so_o s._n paul_n testify_v express_o now_o there_o be_v diversity_n of_o gift_n but_o the_o same_o spirit_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d there_o be_v different_a administration_n difference_n 4._o of_o

the_o gift_n and_o distinguish_v according_o a_o extraordinary_a ministry_n need_v a_o extraordinary_a and_o a_o miraculous_a gift_n that_o be_v a_o miraculous_a call_n and_o vocation_n and_o designation_n by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o a_o ordinary_a gift_n can_v sublime_a a_o ordinary_a person_n to_o a_o supernatural_a employment_n and_o from_o this_o discourse_n of_o the_o differ_a gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n saint_n paul_n without_o any_o further_a artifice_n conclude_v that_o the_o spirit_n intend_v a_o distinction_n of_o church-officer_n for_o the_o work_n of_o the_o ministry_n for_o the_o conclusion_n of_o the_o discourse_n be_v that_o god_n have_v set_v some_o in_o the_o church_n first_o apostle_n secondary_o prophet_n three_o teacher_n and_o lest_o all_o god_n people_n shall_v usurp_v these_o office_n which_o 28._o god_n by_o his_o spirit_n have_v make_v separate_a and_o distinguish_v he_o add_v be_v all_o apostle_n be_v all_o prophet_n be_v all_o teacher_n if_o so_o then_o be_v all_o the_o body_n one_o member_n quite_o contrary_a to_o nature_n
