A41233	The lawfull preacher, or, A short discourse proving that they only ought to preach who are ordained ministers occasionally delivered in some lectures at Epping by John Ferriby, minister of Thoydon-Garnon in Essex ; now printed upon the anti-preaching of some against it in the same pulpit about the latter end of November last : as also the pulpit-guard-relieved, in a short appendix in answer to a late book called the pulpit-guard-relieved / written by Tho.

in_o private_a person_n in_o their_o place_n according_a to_o the_o liberty_n god_n have_v give_v they_o public_a officer_n in_o their_o function_n according_a to_o the_o injunction_n god_n have_v lay_v upon_o they_o for_o the_o place_n do_v not_o intimate_a that_o every_o one_o that_o have_v any_o gift_n shall_v preach_v present_o but_o chief_o that_o he_o who_o be_v a_o preacher_n shall_v be_v faithful_a and_o painful_a in_o his_o ministry_n that_o in_o season_n and_o out_o of_o season_n he_o shall_v wait_v upon_o his_o office_n there_o be_v a_o vast_a difference_n between_o the_o

christian_n may_v use_v their_o gift_n although_o they_o have_v no_o liberty_n to_o preach_v but_o i_o be_o afraid_a i_o may_v complain_v that_o many_o who_o talk_v most_o of_o and_o crave_v most_o liberty_n for_o the_o use_n of_o their_o gift_n in_o public_a make_v least_o use_n of_o they_o in_o private_a they_o will_v go_v many_o mile_n to_o get_v a_o pulpit_n who_o will_v scarce_o step_v a_o
