minister_n have_v not_o do_v his_o part_n when_o he_o have_v public_o warn_v or_o doctrinal_o to_o all_o in_o general_n declare_v against_o unworthy_a receive_n at_o the_o lord_n table_n he_o have_v invest_v in_o he_o the_o key_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n not_o only_o a_o key_n but_o key_n that_o be_v as_o we_o understand_v a_o key_n to_o bind_v or_o shut_v as_o well_o as_o a_o key_n to_o loose_v or_o open_a and_o a_o key_n of_o power_n or_o discipline_n as_o well_o as_o a_o key_n of_o knowledge_n or_o doctrine_n he_o have_v a_o watch_n to_o keep_v as_o well_o as_o a_o word_n to_o declare_v as_o he_o may_v not_o be_v a_o dumb_a dog_n that_o can_v or_o will_v not_o bark_v so_o he_o must_v not_o be_v a_o blind_a sleeping_z or_o unobserve_v watchman_n as_o his_o work_n be_v to_o

we_o read_v practise_v by_o the_o minister_n of_o christ_n or_o commit_v to_o any_o such_o to_o be_v practise_v or_o commend_v in_o they_o when_o practise_v in_o order_n to_o the_o fulfil_n of_o the_o ministry_n and_o to_o the_o edify_n of_o church_n that_o we_o conceive_v to_o be_v matter_n of_o rule_n now_o to_o they_o who_o be_v set_v in_o the_o same_o call_n and_o relation_n now_o we_o find_v that_o the_o apostle_n paul_n and_o barnabas_n be_v careful_a after_o they_o have_v preach_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o plant_v church_n to_o go_v again_o to_o they_o and_o to_o see_v or_o look_v into_o they_o how_o they_o do_v that_o tychicus_n be_v send_v by_o the_o apostle_n paul_n to_o the_o colossian_n for_o the_o same_o purpose_n that_o he_o may_v know_v their_o estate_n that_o in_o like_a manner_n paul_n send_v timotheus_n to_o the_o thessalonian_o to_o know_v their_o faith_n and_o that_o the_o angel_n of_o the_o church_n of_o ephesus_n be_v note_v and_o praise_v by_o the_o lord_n jesus_n for_o that_o he_o can_v not_o bear_v they_o which_o be_v evil_a and_o have_v try_v they_o which_o say_v they_o be_v apostle_n and_o be_v not_o and_o have_v find_v they_o liar_n as_o on_o the_o contrary_a hand_n it_o be_v a_o charge_n which_o he_o have_v against_o the_o angel_n of_o the_o church_n of_o pergamos_n that_o he_o have_v they_o that_o hold_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o nicholaitan_n so_o hateful_a to_o he_o and_o semblable_o he_o object_v against_o the_o angel_n of_o the_o church_n in_o thyatira_n that_o he_o suffer_v the_o woman_n jezebel_n which_o call_v herself_o a_o prophetess_n to_o teach_v and_o to_o seduce_v his_o servant_n to_o commit_v fornication_n and_o to_o eat_v thing_n sacrifice_v to_o idol_n we_o be_v persuade_v to_o extricate_v a_o minister_n from_o that_o labyrinth_n he_o may_v suppose_v himself_o in_o betwixt_o a_o promiscuous_a administration_n on_o the_o one_o hand_n and_o a_o lay_v down_o that_o ordinance_n on_o the_o other_o there_o be_v other_o way_n beside_o the_o choose_n and_o practise_v of_o either_o of_o these_o and_o those_o clear_a and_o warrantable_a one_o which_o to_o our_o judgement_n these_o be_v not_o and_o if_o there_o be_v any_o of_o our_o brethren_n who_o can_v find_v out_o any_o such_o way_n we_o wish_v they_o will_v be_v present_a at_o our_o next_o provincial_a meeting_n and_o concur_v with_o we_o in_o advise_v upon_o it_o for_o their_o resolution_n which_o offer_v we_o expect_v they_o will_v hearken_v to_o in_o reference_n not_o only_o to_o themselves_o but_o to_o many_o of_o their_o brethren_n of_o which_o number_n ourselves_o be_v who_o be_v much_o unsatisfied_a both_o with_o the_o non-administration_n of_o some_o and_o with_o the_o boundless_a administration_n of_o other_o and_o we_o do_v hereby_o declare_v unto_o they_o the_o offence_n which_o be_v take_v we_o think_v just_o by_o other_o and_o ourselves_o at_o the_o practice_n of_o they_o both_o especial_o at_o the_o latter_a that_o if_o they_o will_v own_v their_o duty_n in_o the_o case_n of_o offence_n they_o may_v be_v move_v to_o accept_v of_o this_o our_o admonition_n and_o offer_n and_o for_o the_o latter_a as_o we_o know_v and_o resent_v it_o to_o be_v a_o plain_o anti-scriptural_a and_o very_o harmful_a and_o offensive_a practice_n so_o we_o judge_v it_o to_o be_v a_o novel_a course_n against_o the_o constant_a judgement_n and_o order_n of_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n in_o all_o age_n and_o scarce_o ever_o profess_v or_o defend_v by_o any_o one_o before_o this_o age_n nor_o in_o the_o latitude_n it_o be_v now_o hold_v practise_v till_o these_o very_a few_o year_n and_o whereas_o divers_a that_o hold_v this_o course_n seem_v to_o have_v a_o zeal_n for_o the_o continuance_n in_o public_a of_o the_o book_n of_o common_a prayer_n we_o wish_v they_o to_o remember_v that_o in_o this_o they_o themselves_o do_v manifest_o cashier_v and_o cross_v it_o and_o that_o whether_o they_o admit_v person_n without_o beforehand_o require_v and_o take_v notice_n of_o their_o intent_n to_o communicate_v or_o they_o receive_v such_o as_o be_v uncatechize_v or_o they_o administer_v to_o they_o that_o be_v open_o scandalous_a liver_n sinner_n liver_n see_v for_o this_o the_o rubric_n or_o rule_v prefix_v to_o the_o order_n for_o the_o administration_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n the_o first_o and_o

substance_n retain_v by_o those_o that_o think_v fit_a to_o lay_v aside_o the_o read_n or_o recite_v its_o line_n verbatim_o whilst_o it_o be_v break_v and_o abolish_v by_o those_o that_o will_v in_o what_o suit_n with_o their_o mind_n keep_v up_o its_o form_n of_o word_n but_o we_o thus_o leave_v this_o point_n and_o this_o our_o particular_a address_n to_o our_o brethren_n in_o the_o ministry_n upon_o these_o and_o other_o the_o like_a consideration_n we_o exhort_v you_o all_o our_o belove_a brethren_n of_o every_o congregational_a presbytery_n whether_o minister_n or_o other_o elder_n that_o have_v heretofore_o join_v in_o the_o government_n to_o own_o that_o work_n of_o god_n by_o apply_v yourselves_o diligent_o and_o faithful_o to_o execute_v the_o same_o in_o all_o the_o duty_n thereof_o and_o for_o that_o end_n to_o cast_v your_o eye_n continual_o upon_o the_o flock_n for_o the_o inspection_n thereof_o and_o constant_o as_o opportunity_n be_v afford_v to_o keep_v the_o meeting_n of_o the_o presbytery_n whether_o congregational_a or_o classical_a and_o because_o all_o man_n call_v to_o this_o work_n be_v not_o of_o equal_a forwardness_n and_o that_o which_o be_v so_o far_o lapse_v as_o to_o be_v out_o of_o use_n may_v be_v not_o easy_o or_o sudden_o to_o be_v restore_v we_o desire_v neighbour_n brethren_n of_o the_o ministry_n to_o excite_v and_o strengthen_v the_o hand_n of_o each_o other_o by_o mutual_a exhortation_n and_o counsel_n and_o every_o of_o they_o to_o persuade_v the_o elder_n of_o their_o own_o and_o of_o the_o adjoin_a congregation_n to_o the_o work_n and_o though_o all_o who_o it_o concern_v be_v not_o present_o gain_v to_o it_o yet_o to_o pursue_v they_o still_o with_o brotherly_a invitation_n while_o there_o be_v any_o hope_n and_o if_o at_o the_o first_o they_o attain_v not_o to_o a_o competent_a number_n full_o to_o act_v yet_o those_o that_o be_v dispose_v to_o it_o if_o they_o have_v any_o to_o concur_v with_o they_o let_v they_o meet_v constant_o both_o congregational_o and_o classical_o and_o we_o doubt_v not_o but_o their_o so_o do_v through_o god_n acceptance_n of_o and_o blessing_n upon_o their_o willing_a mind_n

god_n under_o the_o remembrance_n and_o sense_n of_o all_o bypass_a backwardness_n and_o obstruction_n and_o of_o all_o present_a imperfection_n and_o impediment_n and_o to_o seek_v unto_o he_o for_o
