credite by their doctrines and instructions then by all their riches triumphes These are gone and they are gone but their good counsel their Prouerbes their Psalmes and Preachings remaine and abide for euer for their euerlasting memorie to the glory of God and dayly profite of his church The first minister Preacher of the new Testament was Iohn the Baptist of whom Christ our Sauiour saith there was not a greater Prophet amongst womens children Nay Christ himself was also a preacher of the Gospell witnesseth that he came into the worlde euen to that purpose After him the Apostles also were sent into the world euen to this end Seeing then that God himselfe his sonn Christ Iesus haue vouchsafed to preach the word seeing so famous men as the Prophetes Apostles were ordained to this purpose it must needes follow that the office of preaching is most famous worthy and excellent The worthinesse also of our calling most euidently appeareth in the worthinesse and price of the things committed vnto vs which is the people of God the Church of christ his deare spouse the very price of his bloud If so great thinges be committed to vs If the Lorde put vs in trust with so deare and precious thinges our calling must needes be worthy and notable Remember the notable effect and fruite of this calling the winning of soules the conuersion and saluation of the faithful It pleased GOD by the foolishnesse of preaching to saue them that bleeue And further the worthy matter of preaching is both here other where set downe namely the gospel y e word of reconciliation the worde of grace the good newes and glad tidinges of saluation y e testimony of Iesus christ repentaunce and remission of sinnes O that al men woulde consider this that the glorye of Gods ministerys might appeare If princes noble mē and Patrons would remember this they woulde haue more care conscience in bestowing their liuings and in defending the good minister Pharaoh king of Aegypt in the time of famine had such a care to prouide for his idolatrous priests that he would not suffer them to sell their land but gaue thē a sufficient ordinary to liue vpon This example of an idolater in prouiding for idolatrous priestes shal condemn many christian gentlemen which haue a great deal lesse care for true christian ministers which are so far from adding any thing of their owne to their maintenaunce that rather dayly by deceit or violence they take that from the Minister which long agoe was giuē by others Let the Papist the Atheist and hipocrite remember consider the worthy calling of the minister that laying aside all contempt skoffing disdaine railing they might in heart reuerence and honor the Lords ordinance and let al people remēber this that they may chierfully yéeld honor obedience reuerence maintenance to the faithfull minister remember that his calling is of the Lorde that he hath to deal with your soules that his purpose is to win you to the lord that hee preacheth no lesse a thing then the holy gospel of Iesus Christ Now these things rightly cōsidered is he not worthye to be obeyed and maintained How beautiful are the feet of them that bring the glad tidinges of peace And read al which is gone before in the chapter y ● you may know that he which preacheth the Gospell by right and equity ought to liue of the Gospel Let al good ministers remember this for their comfort and instruction that howsoeuer y e world thinke of them they haue a worthye and high calling and let them not faint but make their ministery fully knowne and ende their course with ioy and let al ignorant and carelesse ministers especially remember this doctrine that so they maye either amend or else come to shame and confusion If the Lord be the authour of the ministery the soules of the people are committed to vs If the effect of our calling be to saue the soules of the people if we haue to deale with the gospel of Christ if so famous and notable men haue alwaies been in this calling what a man ought the minister to be what care what cōscience what knowledge what zeal and holye conuersation is required at his hands you may see and witnes with me I speake nothing to the defaring and discredite of the minister of God but rather to his great credite glorie his calling is most worthy honourable he is worthy of double honour he is to be obeyed and sufficiently maintained he is the stewarde of the lords house and the messenger of the lord of hostes But as the faithful minister is to haue his credit and commendation so the ignoraunt and carelesse sort as we haue sufficiently already prooued are to be cast downe defaced because by their ignorance idlenesse and leud conuersation they greatly dishonour the Lorde deface his glory I conclude and ende with the holy Apostle I besech you brethren that you know them which labour among you and are ouer you in the Lord and admonish you that you haue them in singular loue for their workes sake By the which place we see that such as labour not admonish not and worke not such I saye are not worthye of any loue or honor but rather to be thrust out and banished as vnprofitable members out of the church of God The which the Lord of the haruest graunt for his tender mercies in Iesus Christ Amen FINIS Luk. 17. 7. 8. 9 1.
