in_o timothy_n 5.17_o 1_o tim._n 5.17_o which_o they_o urge_v who_o labour_n to_o maintain_v that_o lay_v person_n be_v in_o the_o apostle_n time_n admit_v into_o presbytery_n let_v the_o elder_n that_o rule_v well_o be_v count_v worthy_a of_o double_a honour_n especial_o those_o that_o labour_n in_o the_o word_n and_o doctrine_n these_o word_n carry_v at_o the_o first_o sound_v a_o appearance_n of_o two_o sort_n of_o elder_n the_o one_o of_o which_o they_o will_v have_v preacher_n the_o other_o only_o ruler_n 5.2_o 1_o pet._n 5.2_o but_o we_o must_v answer_v this_o objection_n first_o by_o a_o undeniable_a assertion_n take_v out_o of_o st._n peter_n exhortation_n to_o his_o presbyter_n and_o out_o of_o st._n paul_n charge_n to_o the_o presbyter_n of_o ephesus_n act._n 20._o 20.28_o act._n 20.28_o both_o their_o exhortation_n imply_v thus_o much_o that_o the_o presbyter_n duty_n do_v consist_v in_o this_o to_o feed_v the_o flock_n of_o christ_n and_o to_o oversee_v it_o we_o assert_v therefore_o that_o their_o office_n be_v both_o to_o govern_v and_o to_o teach_v both_o which_o be_v plain_o intimate_v in_o those_o quality_n which_o the_o apostle_n 1_o tim._n 3.2_o 5._o ascribe_v as_o proper_a to_o bishop_n i._n e._n as_o mr._n th._n acknowledge_v to_o presbyter_n both_o too_o be_v contain_v in_o that_o very_a passage_n which_o be_v allege_v to_o evince_v the_o necessity_n of_o lay-elders_a for_o those_o elder_n that_o rule_v well_o be_v such_o as_o labour_v in_o the_o word_n and_o doctrine_n second_o to_o the_o objection_n we_o answer_v thus_o that_o in_o that_o place_n the_o apostle_n intend_v only_o to_o difference_n the_o presbyter_n by_o the_o execution_n of_o their_o function_n and_o not_o to_o make_v any_o difference_n in_o the_o function_n

shall_v not_o deny_v 12.28_o eph._n 4.4_o etc._n etc._n rom._n 12.6_o 1_o cor._n 12.28_o but_o confess_v what_o be_v evident_a and_o clear_a by_o many_o text_n that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n distribute_v

have_v be_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o apostle_n yet_o if_o any_o man_n shall_v now_o presume_v to_o draw_v their_o example_n into_o imitation_n i_o will_v ask_v he_o this_o question_n what_o

may_v not_o be_v think_v convenient_a in_o we_o and_o if_o we_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o do_v now_o what_o then_o be_v do_v i_o fear_v the_o world_n will_v be_v turn_v upside_o down_o and_o all_o

vii_o this_o great_a doubt_n be_v i_o suppose_v clear_v and_o it_o be_v sufficient_o prove_v that_o lay-elders_a have_v no_o right_n to_o the_o order_n of_o church_n affair_n or_o meddle_v with_o
