we_o suppose_v our_o brethren_n do_v not_o take_v authoritative-teaching_a in_o this_o sense_n neither_o for_o undoubted_o all_o that_o preach_v be_v to_o do_v it_o with_o life_n and_o zeal_n and_o to_o use_v utmost_a endeavour_n that_o the_o gospel_n may_v come_v in_o power_n to_o the_o heart_n of_o those_o they_o speak_v to_o that_o so_o they_o may_v not_o labour_v in_o vain_a they_o will_v not_o allow_v gift_v brethren_n to_o preach_v in_o a_o contrary_a manner_n to_o this_o 3._o but_o authority_n be_v take_v by_o some_o for_o that_o power_n which_o a_o officer_n have_v over_o those_o that_o he_o bear_v office_n to_o and_o because_o our_o brethren_n in_o their_o aforementioned_a distinction_n do_v oppose_v it_o unto_o and_o difference_n it_o from_o brotherly_a charitative_n teach_v therefore_o we_o judge_v that_o they_o take_v authoritative_a teach_n in_o this_o sense_n viz._n for_o the_o preach_n as_o officer_n and_o the_o exercise_n of_o office-power_n therein_o and_o those_o two_o scripture_n which_o they_o allege_v to_o prove_v authoritative_a teach_n do_v both_o of_o they_o speak_v of_o preach_v office-wise_a as_o 1_o thes_n 5._o 12._o only_o officer_n be_v over_o the_o

church_n in_o a_o brotherly_a way_n though_o not_o as_o over_o it_o in_o the_o lord_n so_o titus_n 2._o 15._o this_o be_v not_o only_o a_o direction_n give_v to_o titus_n a_o officer_n but_o also_o about_o a_o special_a act_n wherein_o he_o be_v to_o put_v forth_o office-power_n viz._n in_o the_o case_n of_o rebuke_n when_o any_o church-member_n be_v obstinate_a he_o be_v direct_v how_o to_o

it_o become_v a_o sin_n not_o only_o against_o he_o as_o a_o brother_n but_o as_o a_o officer_n it_o be_v a_o offence_n not_o only_o against_o the_o relation_n of_o brotherhood_n but_o against_o a_o
