and_o those_o fit_a to_o who_o beside_o the_o desire_n of_o propagate_a the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n and_o glorify_v god_n by_o a_o holy_a life_n he_o have_v give_v the_o knowledge_n of_o sound_a

since_o he_o call_v we_o rather_o in_o deed_n then_o by_o word_n and_o therefore_o they_o who_o hold_v not_o the_o sound_a doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n nor_o teach_v the_o same_o to_o the_o people_n

two_o way_n furthermore_o see_v all_o true_o minister_n be_v call_v by_o christ_n we_o believe_v that_o he_o call_v man_n to_o the_o ministry_n after_o a_o double_a manner_n namely_o either_o 1.1_o either_o gal._n 1.1_o immediate_o by_o himself_o alone_o or_o mediate_o by_o man_n that_o be_v by_o the_o church_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v both_o equal_o to_o be_v hear_v and_o account_v the_o true_a minister_n of_o god_n doct._n xvi_o how_o christ_n declare_v to_o the_o church_n those_o that_o be_v send_v by_o he_o to_o be_v send_v by_o himself_o alone_o whereas_o those_o who_o christ_n

because_o all_o that_o christ_n give_v to_o the_o church_n as_o minister_n he_o give_v they_o to_o the_o edification_n thereof_o from_o whence_o the_o conclusion_n be_v easy_o consequent_a that_o by_o
