a_o distinct_a and_o a_o new_a message_n prophet_n must_v not_o offer_v any_o doctrine_n to_o the_o people_n or_o pretend_v a_o doctrine_n for_o which_o they_o have_v not_o a_o commission_n from_o god_n but_o which_o way_n soever_o they_o be_v expound_v they_o will_v conclude_v right_a in_o this_o particular_a for_o if_o they_o signify_v a_o ordinary_a mission_n than_o there_o be_v a_o ordinary_a mission_n of_o preacher_n which_o no_o man_n must_v usurp_v unless_o he_o can_v prove_v his_o title_n certain_o and_o clear_o derivative_a from_o god_n which_o when_o any_o man_n of_o the_o laity_n can_v do_v we_o must_v give_v he_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o fellowship_n and_o wish_v he_o good_a speed_n but_o if_o these_o word_n signify_v a_o extraordinary_a case_n and_o that_o no_o message_n must_v be_v pretend_v by_o prophet_n but_o what_o they_o have_v commission_n for_o then_o must_v not_o ordinary_a person_n pretend_v a_o extraordinary_a mission_n to_o a_o ordinary_a purpose_n for_o beside_o that_o god_n do_v never_o do_v thing_n unreasonable_o 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 10._o mission_n because_o they_o be_v to_o receive_v new_a instruction_n these_o instruction_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_o two_o 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 11._o 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 4._o diversity_n of_o gift_n but_o the_o same_o spirit_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d
