sufficiency_n and_o you_o may_v as_o well_o argue_v thus_o that_o such_o a_o man_n be_v able_a to_o build_v a_o house_n well_o therefore_o he_o can_v mould_n a_o state_n and_o thus_o much_o shall_v

convince_v that_o the_o necessity_n of_o popular_a election_n be_v not_o so_o clear_a as_o have_v be_v conceive_v nor_o indeed_o so_o manifest_a as_o ordination_n and_o sure_o i_o be_o if_o we_o have_v no_o better_a evidence_n for_o ordination_n than_o such_o as_o these_o we_o shall_v have_v sufficient_o hear_v of_o it_o from_o our_o brethren_n chap._n xii_o the_o second_o question_n be_v this_o whether_o the_o essence_n of_o the_o call_v to_o the_o ministry_n lie_v in_o election_n or_o ordination_n and_o here_o also_o i_o must_v take_v the_o same_o liberty_n i_o have_v use_v and_o that_o be_v not_o to_o transcribe_v every_o word_n nor_o to_o take_v notice_n of_o such_o passage_n as_o be_v inconsiderable_a but_o only_o such_o as_o have_v most_o strength_n and_o most_o appearance_n of_o truth_n in_o they_o in_o the_o do_n of_o which_o as_o i_o have_v the_o witness_n of_o god_n and_o my_o own_o conscience_n so_o i_o doubt_v not_o i_o shall_v have_v the_o attestation_n of_o any_o disintere_v person_n who_o shall_v compare_v both_o together_o but_o before_o i_o come_v to_o handle_v the_o point_n i_o must_v needs_o do_v my_o brethren_n that_o right_o as_o to_o let_v the_o world_n know_v how_o far_o they_o be_v from_o that_o generation_n of_o man_n that_o despise_v and_o deride_v ordination_n they_o say_v we_o do_v high_o esteem_v of_o ordination_n as_o a_o appointment_n of_o jesus_n christ_n p._n 275._o only_o here_o they_o differ_v they_o give_v election_n the_o praecedency_n to_o ordination_n and_o they_o place_v the_o essence_n of_o the_o

from_o act_n 14._o vers_fw-la 23._o have_v be_v discuss_v before_o that_o the_o essence_n of_o the_o call_n lie_v not_o in_o ordination_n they_o endeavour_v to_o make_v good_a by_o three_o argument_n their_o first_o argument_n be_v this_o that_o which_o do_v not_o set_v a_o man_n over_o a_o church_n of_o christ_n or_o commit_v it_o to_o his_o charge_n that_o do_v not_o give_v the_o essential_o of_o the_o ministerial_a office_n but_o ordination_n do_v not_o set_v a_o man_n over_o a_o church_n of_o christ_n etc._n etc._n because_o without_o election_n a_o man_n can_v be_v over_o any_o flock_n i_o answer_v to_o the_o minor_a and_o the_o proof_n 1._o that_o it_o be_v but_o a_o beg_n of_o the_o question_n and_o have_v be_v before_o disprove_v that_o without_o election_n a_o man_n can_v be_v

reason_n to_o refuse_v he_o in_o this_o case_n election_n be_v necessary_a and_o yet_o the_o essence_n of_o the_o eivil_a call_n lie_v in_o his_o presentation_n or_o suppose_v 〈…〉_z of_o canterbury_n

have_v the_o whole_a essence_n of_o the_o call_v to_o the_o office_n act_v 13._o 3._o paul_n and_o barnabas_n have_v the_o essence_n of_o their_o call_n before_o from_o god_n they_o be_v not_o of_o

such_o a_o ordination_n the_o apostle_n never_o have_v gal._n 1._o 1._o and_o such_o a_o ordination_n this_o text_n peradventure_o speak_v not_o of_o but_o of_o a_o ordination_n to_o a_o work_n nor_o be_v there_o any_o ground_n to_o wonder_n that_o man_n shall_v be_v solemn_o ordain_v to_o such_o a_o work_n as_o this_o a_o work_n so_o great_a so_o uncouth_a so_o difficult_a so_o much_o expose_v

designation_n of_o a_o person_n to_o a_o work_n as_o to_o a_o office_n 2._o this_o argument_n will_v fall_v as_o heavy_a upon_o election_n as_o ordination_n it_o must_v be_v remember_v that_o they_o assert_v that_o the_o essence_n of_o the_o call_n lie_v in_o election_n and_o to_o prove_v this_o they_o urge_v the_o election_n of_o a_o apostle_n act_n 1_o now_o from_o hence_o i_o thus_o argue_v against_o they_o if_o this_o be_v the_o prerogative_n of_o the_o apostle_n that_o they_o have_v their_o call_n neither_o of_o man_n nor_o by_o man_n etc._n etc._n then_o the_o essence_n of_o their_o

election_n be_v both_o use_v in_o reference_n to_o the_o apostle_n yet_o the_o essence_n of_o the_o call_n do_v lie_v in_o neither_o of_o they_o and_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o in_o act_n 1._o the_o essence_n of_o mathias_n his_o call_n do_v not_o lie_v in_o the_o election_n of_o the_o people_n for_o that_o barsabas_n have_v as_o well_o as_o mathias_n but_o in_o the_o designation_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o as_o our_o brethren_n will_v say_v for_o themselves_o in_o that_o case_n that_o we_o be_v to_o distinguish_v between_o what_o be_v ordinary_a and_o what_o be_v extraordinary_a between_o what_o be_v peculiar_a to_o the_o apostle_n and_o what_o be_v common_a to_o other_o officer_n and_o that_o this_o be_v common_a to_o the_o apostle_n with_o other_o officer_n to_o be_v

this_o that_o whatsoever_o gift_n a_o man_n have_v he_o be_v require_v to_o exercise_v it_o if_o he_o have_v a_o gift_n to_o preach_v and_o that_o public_o he_o must_v preach_v etc._n etc._n and_o to_o prove_v this_o sense_n i_o observe_v they_o use_v three_o argument_n which_o i_o shall_v propound_v and_o consider_v 1._o it_o be_v a_o gift_n indefinite_o and_o therefore_o it_o may_v extend_v

if_o our_o brethren_n be_v discourse_v with_o a_o arminian_n about_o the_o extent_n of_o christ_n death_n who_o shall_v urge_v the_o word_n world_n and_o mankind_n and_o infer_v as_o they_o do_v that_o the_o word_n be_v indefinite_a it_o be_v to_o be_v take_v of_o all_o mankind_n they_o will_v quick_o find_v a_o answer_n that_o such_o indefinite_a expression_n be_v to_o be_v compare_v with_o

v_o 10._o he_o lay_v this_o down_o in_o the_o general_n that_o every_o man_n that_o have_v a_o gift_n must_v use_v it_o then_o in_o the_o 11_o verse_n he_o instance_v in_o two_o sort_n of_o man_n
