haue gotten more glory and credits by their doctrines and instructions then by all their riches and triumphes These are gone and they are gone but their good coūsel their prouerbes their Psalmes Preachings remaine and abide for euer for their euerlasting memory 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 himselfe was also a preacher of the gospel witnesseth that he came into the world euen to that purpose After him y e Apostles also were sent into the world euen to this end Seing then that God him selfe his sonne Christe Iesus haue vouchsafed to preach the word seeing so famous men as the Prophetes and Apostles were ordayned to this purpose it must needes followe that the office of preaching is moste 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 Churche of Christ his dear spouse the very price of his bloude It so great thinges bee committed to vs. If the Lorde put vs in trust with so deare and precious thinges our calling must néedes bee 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 beleeue And further the worthy matter of preaching is both here and other where set downe namely the gospell the word of reconciliation the worde of grace the good newes and glad tidinges of saluation the testimony of Iesus Christ repentance and remission of sinnes O that al men woulde consider this that the glory of Gods ministery might appeare If Princes noble men and Patrons would remember this they would haue more care conscience in bestowing their liuinges and in defending the good minister Pharaoh king of Egipt in the time of famine had such a care to prouide for his idolatrous priests y t hee would not suffer thē to sel their land but gaue thē a sufficient ordinary to liue vpō This example of an idolater in prouiding for idolatrous priestes shal condemn many christian gentlemē which haue a great deal lesse care for true Christian ministers which are so farre from adding any thing of their owne to their maintainaunce y t rather daily by deceite or violence they take that from the Minister which long agoe was giuen by others Let the papist the Atheist and hipocrite remember and consider the worthy calling of the minister that laying aside all contempt skoffing disdaine and railing they mighte in heart reuerence and honor the Lords ordinance let al people remember this that they may chearfully yeelde honor obedience reuerence and maintainance to the faithful 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 he preacheth no lesse a thing then the holy gospell of Iesus Christ Now these things righty considered is he not worthy to be obeied and maintained Howe beautifull are the feete of them that bring the glad tidinges of peace And reade al which is gone before in the chapter that you may know that hee which preacheth the gospel by right and equity ought to liue of the Gospel Let al good Ministers remember this for their comfort and instruction that howsoeuer the world thinke of them they haue a worthye and highe calling and let thē not faint but make their ministery fully known and end their course with ioy and let al ignoraunt and carelesse ministers especiallye remember this doctrine that so they may either amend or else come to shame 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 wee haue to deal with the gospell of Christe If so famous notable men haue alwayes beene in this calling what a man ought y e minister to be what care what conscience what knowledge what zeale holy conuersation is required at his handes You may see witnesse with me I speake nothing to the defacing and discredite of the minister of God but rather to his great credite and glory his calling is most worthy and honourable hee is worthy of double honour he is to bee obeied sufficiently maintained hee is the steward of the Lords house and the messenger of the Lorde of hostes But as the faythfull minister is to haue his credit and commendation so the ignorant and carelesse sort as we haue sufficiently already prooued are to be cast down defaced because by their ignoraunce idlenes and lewde conuersation they greatly dishonour the Lord and deface his glory I conclude and end with the holy Apostle I beseech you brethren that you know them which labor among you are ouer you in the Lord and admonish you that you haue them in singular loue for their worke sake By the which place we see that such as labor not admonish not and work not such I say are not worthy of any loue or honor but rather to be thrust out and bannished as vnprofitable mēbers out of y e Church of God The which y e Lord of the haruest graunt for his tender mercies in Iesus Christe Amen FINIS Luk. 17.7.8 ● 1.
