and_o example_n unto_o all_o true_a minister_n and_o preacher_n of_o christ_n first_n to_o be_v teach_v by_o himself_o before_o they_o go_v preach_v he_o unto_o other_o second_o to_o believe_v on_o he_o and_o have_v both_o hear_v himself_o and_o from_o his_o own_o word_n and_o testimony_n believe_v on_o he_o then_o to_o preach_v he_o unto_o other_o and_o this_o same_o method_n paul_n follow_v who_o of_o a_o persecutor_n of_o christ_n become_v a_o preacher_n of_o he_o first_o he_o be_v teach_v christ_n by_o christ_n himself_o and_o that_o inward_o christ_n be_v reveal_v in_o he_o when_o it_o please_v god_n say_v he_o to_o reveal_v his_o son_n in_o i_o that_o i_o shall_v preach_v he_o to_o the_o gentile_n and_o second_o he_o be_v a_o believer_n in_o he_o as_o he_o say_v himself_o we_o have_v receive_v the_o same_o spirit_n of_o faith_n we_o believe_v therefore_o we_o speak_v and_o say_v david_n i_o believe_v therefore_o have_v i_o speak_v and_o what_o sort_n of_o faith_n be_v this_o be_v it_o only_o a_o historical_a faith_n which_o hypocrite_n and_o ungodly_a man_n have_v whereof_o paul_n and_o david_n speak_v nay_o sure_o it_o be_v the_o true_a save_v renew_v and_o sanctify_a faith_n and_o according_a unto_o this_o none_o ought_v to_o preach_v who_o have_v not_o a_o measure_n of_o true_a and_o save_a faith_n and_o who_o be_v not_o true_o in_o some_o measure_n sanctify_v and_o renew_v and_o by_o be_v sanctify_a and_o renew_v through_o faith_n by_o the_o operation_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n be_v fit_v and_o prepare_v for_o the_o work_n of_o the_o ministry_n now_o by_o these_o two_o qualification_n of_o a_o true_a and_o right_a preacher_n of_o christ_n let_v we_o try_v the_o minister_n and_o ministry_n of_o those_o call_v preacher_n in_o these_o nation_n both_o conformist_n and_o nonconformist_n both_o of_o they_o affirm_v and_o hold_v it_o as_o their_o principle_n that_o true_a and_o save_a faith_n be_v not_o necessary_a unto_o a_o man_n be_v a_o preacher_n it_o be_v true_a they_o say_v if_o he_o be_v a_o true_a believer_n and_o godly_a man_n he_o will_v be_v the_o better_a preacher_n but_o a_o true_a and_o lawful_a preacher_n he_o be_v and_o aught_o to_o be_v follow_v and_o hear_v and_o maintain_v though_o he_o be_v not_o in_o the_o least_o a_o godly_a man_n or_o true_a believer_n if_o he_o be_v a_o scholar_n and_o can_v preach_v in_o a_o form_n of_o sound_a word_n if_o he_o have_v latin_a greek_a and_o a_o little_a hebrew_n and_o logic_n and_o such_o like_a natural_a art_n and_o science_n it_o be_v enough_o to_o qualify_v he_o to_o be_v a_o preacher_n and_o this_o principle_n james_n durham_n a_o great_a presbyterian_a express_o hold_v in_o his_o book_n call_v a_o exposition_n upon_o the_o revelation_n in_o his_o digression_n concern_v the_o ministry_n and_o i_o myself_o have_v have_v sundry_a debate_n with_o both_o conformist_n and_o nonconformist_n so_o call_v touch_v this_o same_o thing_n both_o affirm_v that_o true_a faith_n and_o piety_n be_v not_o needful_a to_o a_o man_n be_v a_o preacher_n but_o that_o letter_n learning_n be_v needful_a so_o that_o he_o can_v not_o be_v a_o preacher_n without_o letter_n but_o he_o can_v be_v a_o preacher_n without_o faith_n and_o piety_n oh_o abominable_a doctrine_n and_o this_o same_o rule_n both_o follow_v in_o their_o try_v of_o man_n qualification_n unto_o the_o ministry_n they_o try_v what_o knowledge_n they_o have_v in_o strange_a language_n and_o art_n and_o science_n natural_a and_o what_o they_o can_v say_v upon_o place_n of_o

scripture_n but_o never_o one_o word_n they_o question_v they_o concern_v the_o work_n of_o god_n in_o their_o heart_n or_o concern_v their_o faith_n and_o piety_n but_o alas_o how_o can_v they_o try_v they_o concern_v the_o work_n of_o grace_n in_o their_o heart_n see_v they_o acknowledge_v th●●_n have_v not_o a_o discern_a themselves_o whereby_o to_o know_v they_o sure_o and_o infallible_o yea_o they_o affirm_v there_o be_v no_o such_o discern_a in_o these_o day_n as_o whereby_o man_n can_v be_v know_v to_o be_v true_o gracious_a and_o do_v not_o sad_a experience_n show_v it_o that_o the_o generality_n of_o those_o preacher_n have_v not_o true_a faith_n and_o piety_n their_o life_n and_o conversation_n be_v so_o gross_a and_o carnal_a yea_o do_v not_o many_o of_o themselves_o see_v it_o and_o have_v they_o not_o complain_v of_o it_o and_o yet_o do_v not_o this_o principle_n of_o they_o that_o wicked_a man_n may_v be_v preacher_n and_o aught_o to_o be_v receive_v lay_v a_o

to_o have_v all_o like_o themselves_o if_o they_o can_v have_v a_o wicked_a man_n will_v not_o the_o wicked_a prefer_v he_o to_o another_o that_o but_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o godly_a and_o may_v or_o may_v not_o be_v and_o thus_o in_o process_n of_o time_n the_o whole_a ministry_n will_v consist_v of_o ungodly_a man_n the_o wicked_a be_v still_o prefer_v by_o the_o wicked_a and_o carry_v it_o by_o most_o vote_n as_o among_o they_o call_v presbyterian_o or_o by_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o bishop_n as_o among_o the_o episcopal_a oh_o for_o shame_n never_o say_v that_o you_o be_v for_o a_o godly_a ministry_n while_o you_o both_o lay_v such_o a_o foundation_n for_o the_o ungodly_a and_o second_o as_o both_o sort_n hold_v that_o true_a faith_n and_o piety_n be_v not_o necessary_a to_o a_o man_n be_v a_o preacher_n so_o they_o hold_v that_o immediate_a revelation_n and_o to_o be_v immediate_o teach_v by_o christ_n himself_o be_v not_o necessary_a either_o to_o his_o be_v or_o better_o be_v yea_o they_o whole_o exclude_v it_o and_o affirm_v that_o all_o immediate_a revelation_n and_o teach_v by_o christ_n himself_o so_o as_o to_o teach_v man_n the_o truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v cease_v since_o the_o apostle_n day_n and_o be_v no_o more_o to_o be_v expect_v while_o the_o world_n last_v so_o james_n durham_n concern_v prophesy_v in_o his_o afore_o say_a book_n and_o in_o the_o first_o page_n of_o that_o book_n he_o say_v god_n have_v speak_v his_o last_o word_n to_o his_o church_n by_o john_n in_o the_o revelation_n and_o so_o the_o church_n nor_o any_o in_o the_o church_n be_v not_o to_o hear_v any_o word_n from_o god_n or_o christ_n himself_o nay_o he_o have_v speak_v his_o last_o word_n sixteen_o hundred_o year_n ago_o oh_o gross_a blindness_n and_o darkness_n be_v the_o lord_n whole_o absent_a from_o his_o church_n or_o if_o he_o be_v present_a with_o she_o and_o in_o she_o do_v he_o never_o speak_v himself_o have_v he_o lose_v the_o power_n of_o his_o speech_n or_o his_o willingness_n to_o speak_v that_o he_o have_v be_v so_o long_o silent_a sure_o nay_o as_o it_o be_v write_v our_o god_n will_v speak_v and_o not_o keep_v silence_n he_o be_v not_o so_o

unto_o they_o and_o their_o principle_n who_o know_v not_o that_o they_o deny_v they_o and_o be_v enemy_n unto_o they_o and_o that_o one_o of_o the_o main_a thing_n of_o controversy_n betwixt_o they_o and_o we_o lie_v here_o they_o say_v the_o immediate_a teach_n of_o christ_n be_v all_o cease_v since_o the_o apostle_n day_n we_o say_v not_o and_o we_o be_v witness_n of_o the_o contrary_a in_o our_o experience_n who_o witness_v the_o new_a covenant_n fulfil_v they_o shall_v be_v all_o teach_v of_o the_o lord_n that_o be_v immediate_o else_o what_o do_v the_o new_a excel_v the_o old_a and_o first_o covenant_n in_o for_o under_o the_o old_a they_o be_v teach_v of_o the_o lord_n mediate_o as_o by_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n but_o under_o the_o new_a they_o be_v teach_v of_o god_n himself_o who_o dwell_v in_o they_o and_o walk_v in_o they_o and_o be_v their_o teacher_n shepheard_n and_o husband_n and_o now_o how_o can_v these_o man_n be_v teach_v of_o the_o lord_n himself_o or_o immediate_o to_o preach_v christ_n who_o deny_v the_o thing_n itself_o how_o can_v we_o have_v charity_n unto_o they_o to_o believe_v they_o be_v so_o teach_v while_o they_o deny_v that_o any_o be_v so_o teach_v in_o those_o day_n and_o than_o what_o be_v their_o preach_v of_o he_o it_o be_v but_o by_o hearsay_n and_o report_n they_o be_v all_o short_a of_o this_o woman_n she_o both_o hear_v

and_o yet_o they_o preach_v whereas_o she_o both_o hear_v he_o and_o see_v he_o before_o she_o preach_v he_o and_o thus_o do_v john_n and_o the_o apostle_n preach_v he_o that_o which_o be_v in_o the_o

be_v the_o best_a to_o preach_v only_o from_o a_o hearsay_n by_o other_o or_o from_o a_o fight_n and_o hear_v of_o christ_n himself_o sure_o this_o be_v the_o best_a and_o therefore_o this_o woman_n be_v a_o better_a preacher_n than_o all_o your_o university_n man_n and_o doctor_n and_o bachelor_n she_o learn_v more_o of_o christ_n from_o himself_o in_o that_o small_a time_n perhaps_o not_o one_o

the_o scripture_n and_o all_o their_o knowledge_n be_v from_o the_o scripture_n and_o all_o have_v the_o scripture_n as_o well_o as_o they_o and_o so_o without_o they_o by_o the_o scripture_n may_v
