minister_n let_v this_o suffice_v they_o they_o be_v the_o man_n that_o must_v declare_v unto_o man_n his_o righteousness_n even_o he_o that_o scorn_v and_o contemn_v the_o ministry_n he_o have_v no_o righteousness_n in_o he_o unless_o it_o be_v by_o the_o mean_n of_o a_o poor_a minister_n then_o do_v thou_o thy_o duty_n and_o be_v that_o mock_n thou_o have_v cause_n to_o honour_v thou_o and_o let_v this_o encourage_v student_n to_o consecrate_v themselves_o student_n to_o the_o ministry_n for_o what_o calling_n have_v so_o high_a a_o office_n as_o this_o to_o declare_v unto_o man_n his_o righteousness_n and_o assure_o how_o ever_o call_n in_o this_o wicked_a world_n thou_o be_v little_o account_v of_o for_o if_o it_o do_v not_o so_o it_o be_v not_o wicked_a yet_o thou_o be_v honour_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o all_o god_n child_n and_o even_o in_o the_o conscience_n of_o some_o who_o tongue_n do_v smite_v thou_o and_o the_o soul_n of_o thousand_o when_o they_o die_v shall_v bless_v thou_o who_o in_o their_o life_n care_v not_o for_o thou_o and_o the_o devil_n himself_o do_v envy_v &_o the_o holy_a angel_n themselves_o do_v wonder_n at_o the_o excellency_n of_o thy_o call_n in_o that_o thou_o have_v power_n to_o declare_v unto_o man_n his_o righteousness_n in_o the_o next_o place_n hearer_n may_v here_o gospel_n learn_v first_o if_o their_o righteousness_n be_v thus_o to_o be_v declare_v as_o afore_o then_o if_o they_o will_v have_v it_o they_o must_v seek_v it_o as_o it_o may_v be_v find_v namely_o both_o in_o the_o law_n and_o in_o the_o gospel_n and_o not_o in_o the_o gospel_n alone_o and_o first_o in_o the_o law_n then_o in_o the_o gospel_n for_o he_o must_v never_o look_v to_o taste_v the_o sweetness_n of_o the_o gospel_n which_o have_v not_o first_o swallow_v the_o bitter_a pill_n of_o the_o law_n if_o therefore_o thou_o will_v be_v declare_v righteous_a by_o the_o gospel_n be_v content_a first_o to_o be_v pronounce_v miserable_a by_o the_o law_n if_o thou_o will_v be_v declare_v righteous_a in_o christ_n then_o be_v content_a first_o to_o be_v pronounce_v sinful_a minister_n and_o unrighteous_a in_o thyself_o second_o all_o man_n may_v here_o learn_v how_o they_o be_v to_o esteem_v of_o god_n minister_n and_o what_o reverence_n and_o obedience_n be_v due_a to_o their_o person_n and_o their_o doctrine_n these_o be_v they_o which_o must_v declare_v unto_o thou_o thy_o righteousness_n if_o thou_o have_v any_o be_v thou_o behold_v to_o he_o who_o when_o thou_o have_v lose_v a_o jewel_n which_o be_v all_o thy_o wealth_n can_v tell_v thou_o where_o it_o be_v and_o help_v thou_o to_o it_o again_o or_o to_o he_o who_o when_o thy_o cause_n be_v in_o trial_n at_o the_o bar_n will_v plead_v it_o for_o thou_o or_o to_o he_o who_o when_o thy_o health_n be_v lose_v can_v tell_v thou_o how_o to_o get_v it_o again_o then_o behold_v how_o thou_o be_v behold_v to_o a_o godly_a minister_n who_o when_o adam_n have_v lose_v both_o himself_o and_o thou_o that_o jewel_n of_o righteousness_n which_o be_v and_o be_v the_o whole_a wealth_n of_o thy_o soul_n can_v true_o tell_v thou_o where_o it_o be_v and_o how_o it_o be_v to_o be_v have_v again_o and_o who_o when_o the_o devil_n hail_v thou_o to_o the_o bar_n of_o god_n justice_n to_o receive_v trial_n for_o thy_o sin_n can_v draw_v thou_o there_o such_o a_o declaration_n as_o the_o devil_n himself_o shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o answer_v and_o who_o when_o thy_o soul_n be_v sick_a to_o death_n and_o even_o to_o damnation_n can_v heal_v the_o deadly_a wound_n thereof_o a_o good_a minister_n therefore_o be_v worthy_a as_o the_o apostle_n say_v of_o double_a honour_n who_o duty_n we_o see_v be_v to_o declare_v unto_o man_n his_o righteousness_n and_o to_o conclude_v this_o point_n also_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o height_n of_o this_o office_n of_o a_o minister_n may_v encourage_v father_n to_o dedicate_v their_o son_n to_o this_o holy_a minister_n call_n for_o the_o physician_n care_v for_o the_o body_n or_o the_o lawyer_n for_o thy_o cause_n be_v both_o inferior_a duty_n to_o this_o of_o the_o mininister_n a_o good_a lawyer_n may_v be_v one_o of_o ten_o a_o good_a physician_n one_o of_o 20._o a_o good_a man_n one_o of_o 100_o but_o a_o good_a minister_n be_v one_o of_o 1000_o a_o good_a lawyer_n may_v declare_v the_o true_a state_n of_o thy_o cause_n a_o good_a physician_n may_v declare_v the_o true_a state_n of_o thy_o body_n no_o calling_n no_o man_n can_v declare_v unto_o thou_o thy_o righteousness_n but_o a_o true_a minister_n and_o thus_o we_o see_v the_o office_n or_o function_n of_o a_o minister_n now_o follow_v the_o blessing_n then_o will_v he_o have_v mercy_n upon_o he_o the_o four_o general_a part_n of_o this_o description_n sinner_n be_v the_o blessing_n which_o god_n give_v to_o the_o labour_n and_o function_n of_o a_o true_a minister_n then_o that_o be_v when_o a_o man_n by_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o

mercy_n on_o he_o that_o be_v on_o the_o penitent_a and_o believe_a sinner_n behold_v here_o the_o admirable_a sympathy_n and_o the_o cooperation_n of_o god_n and_o the_o minister_n office_n man_n preach_v and_o god_n bless_v man_n work_v on_o the_o heart_n and_o god_n give_v grace_n a_o minister_n declare_v unto_o man_n his_o righteousness_n and_o god_n say_v so_o be_v it_o he_o shall_v be_v righteous_a a_o minister_n pronounce_v mercy_n to_o a_o penitent_a sinner_n and_o forthwith_o god_n have_v mercy_n on_o he_o here_o we_o see_v the_o great_a and_o glorious_a together_o account_n which_o god_n make_v of_o the_o word_n of_o his_o minister_n by_o they_o true_o teach_v and_o right_o apply_v namely_o that_o he_o as_o it_o be_v tie_v his_o blessing_n unto_o it_o for_o ordinary_o till_o a_o man_n know_v his_o righteousness_n by_o the_o mean_n of_o a_o interpreter_n god_n have_v not_o mercy_n on_o he_o but_o as_o soon_o as_o he_o do_v know_v it_o then_o as_o we_o see_v here_o god_n will_v have_v mercy_n on_o he_o and_o will_v say_v deliver_v he_o etc._n etc._n this_o be_v no_o small_a honour_n to_o minister_n and_o to_o their_o ministry_n that_o god_n himself_o give_v a_o blessing_n unto_o it_o &_o work_v when_o they_o work_v and_o as_o it_o be_v stay_v wait_v when_o they_o declare_v unto_o a_o man_n his_o righteousness_n and_o then_o have_v he_o mercy_n on_o he_o so_o powerful_a and_o so_o effectual_a be_v the_o word_n speak_v by_o a_o minister_n of_o god_n this_o be_v that_o 16._o which_o christ_n avouch_v whatsoever_o you_o lose_v in_o earth_n shall_v be_v loose_v in_o heaven_n will_v 23._o you_o know_v the_o meaning_n hereof_o read_v saint_n john_n who_o sin_n soever_o you_o remit_v they_o be_v remit_v who_o you_o retain_v they_o be_v 26._o retain_v will_v you_o have_v the_o meaning_n of_o both_o read_v isaiah_n god_n destroy_v the_o token_n of_o soothsayer_n and_o make_v wizard_n and_o astrologer_n fool_n turn_v worldly_a wiseman_n backward_o and_o make_v their_o knowledge_n foolishness_n but_o he_o confirm_v the_o word_n of_o his_o servant_n and_o perform_v the_o counsel_n of_o his_o messenger_n thus_o god_n bind_v and_o lose_v with_o they_o remit_v and_o retain_v with_o they_o by_o confirm_v their_o word_n and_o perform_v their_o counsel_n for_o example_n a_o true_a minister_n see_v a_o sinner_n harden_v in_o his_o sin_n &_o still_o rebel_a against_o the_o will_n of_o god_n he_o therefore_o declare_v unto_o he_o his_o unrighteousness_n &_o his_o sin_n &_o denounce_v unto_o he_o the_o misery_n &_o curse_n of_o god_n justice_n as_o due_a unto_o he_o for_o the_o same_o here_o he_o bind_v on_o earth_n here_o he_o retain_v on_o earth_n this_o man_n sin_n be_v likewise_o bind_v &_o retain_v in_o heaven_n on_o the_o other_o side_n he_o see_v a_o man_n penitent_a &_o believe_v he_o pronounce_v forgiveness_n of_o sin_n &_o happiness_n unto_o he_o for_o the_o same_o he_o lose_v he_o from_o the_o band_n of_o his_o
