a_o minister_n bear_v a_o habitual_a relation_n to_o the_o whole_a church_n visible_a so_o that_o a_o pastor_n preach_v not_o only_o as_o a_o pastor_n to_o those_o who_o elect_v he_o and_o to_o

minister_n and_o to_o officer_n such_o as_o be_v timothy_n which_o make_v i_o think_v that_o what_o the_o minister_n do_v in_o examine_v try_v ordain_v be_v more_o than_o the_o people_n election_n where_o do_v we_o find_v such_o thing_n speak_v to_o the_o people_n now_o then_o where_o the_o great_a blame_n lie_v for_o unworthy_a man_n come_v into_o the_o ministry_n there_o sure_o must_v lie_v the_o great_a power_n of_o admit_v man_n into_o the_o ministry_n else_o the_o blame_n be_v not_o just_a but_o we_o see_v the_o blame_n be_v here_o lay_v upon_o the_o minister_n paul_n no_o where_o write_v to_o the_o people_n to_o commit_v the_o thing_n they_o have_v hear_v nor_o do_v he_o charge_v they_o not_o to_o lay_v on_o hand_n sudden_o at_o most_o they_o be_v bid_v indeed_o to_o look_v

say_v we_o do_v but_o ordain_v we_o give_v but_o a_o adjunct_n the_o people_n do_v the_o main_a act_n they_o give_v the_o essence_n the_o essence_n be_v give_v we_o give_v the_o adjunct_n so_o that_o there_o will_v be_v no_o blame_n leave_v for_o the_o minister_n i_o will_v be_v glad_a to_o see_v some_o answer_n from_o mr._n nichols_n either_o by_o private_a writing_n or_o public_o in_o print_n
