be_v call_v the_o church_n because_o the_o church_n be_v call_v the_o pillar_n or_o ground_n of_o truth_n read_v 1_o tim._n 3.15_o compare_v with_o mat._n 18_o 17_o 18._o and_o also_o call_v the_o virgin_n daughter_n of_o babylon_n as_o a_o single_a person_n in_o many_o place_n so_o in_o this_o metaphor_n christ_n call_v the_o church_n as_o a_o single_a person_n as_o though_o he_o speak_v prâ—raâ—â—ly_o to_o peter_n but_o consider_v that_o christ_n speak_v not_o to_o peter_n bare_o consider_v as_o a_o minister_n but_o speak_v to_o he_o as_o consider_v one_o in_o who_o the_o truth_n be_v settle_v as_o a_o pillar_n and_o consider_v so_o the_o power_n be_v commit_v to_o he_o not_o as_o a_o minister_n but_o as_o the_o church_n which_o be_v call_v the_o ground_n and_o pillar_n of_o truth_n and_o this_o will_v plain_o appear_v if_o we_o consider_v christ_n follow_v discourse_n as_o in_o this_o evangelist_n where_o he_o say_v to_o the_o church_n whosoever_o you_o bind_v on_o

i_o may_v be_v large_a in_o it_o i_o shall_v pass_v to_o the_o next_o and_o last_o subject_n which_o be_v the_o qualification_n of_o the_o national_a ministry_n to_o which_o i_o say_v that_o there_o be_v not_o one_o in_o england_n fit_o qualify_v to_o be_v a_o minister_n according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o scripture_n not_o that_o i_o say_v that_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o find_v a_o man_n zealous_a according_a to_o his_o light_n although_o there_o be_v very_o few_o such_o to_o be_v find_v yet_o i_o say_v in_o my_o understanding_n it_o be_v impossible_a to_o find_v a_o man_n in_o the_o way_n of_o the_o national_a ministry_n as_o they_o now_o stand_v and_o have_v stand_v for_o age_n and_o generation_n fit_o qualify_v either_o in_o respect_n of_o their_o ordination_n or_o doctrine_n as_o for_o their_o ordination_n it_o be_v already_o prove_v to_o be_v from_o rome_n and_o that_o by_o your_o own_o grant_n and_o as_o for_o matter_n of_o doctrine_n there_o be_v not_o one_o as_o

and_o indeed_o ã€ˆâ—Šã€‰_d be_v a_o very_a rare_a thing_n to_o find_v any_o crime_n qualification_n in_o minister_n of_o that_o stamp_n but_o because_o i_o study_v brevity_n i_o shall_v leave_v as_o to_o the_o qualification_n of_o the_o falâ—e_a ministry_n as_o in_o reference_n to_o ordination_n and_o speak_v somewhat_o to_o the_o qualification_n of_o the_o true_a as_o in_o reference_n to_o ordination_n and_o that_o very_o brief_o and_o 1._o as_o to_o the_o person_n ordain_v 2._o as_o to_o the_o person_n ordain_v and_o 3._o as_o to_o the_o formality_n or_o method_n of_o their_o election_n and_o ordination_n together_o with_o their_o charge_n in_o reference_n to_o their_o office_n and_o how_o they_o be_v to_o demean_v themselves_o in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n and_o first_o as_o to_o the_o person_n ordain_v the_o ministry_n they_o must_v be_v sober_a holy_a temperate_a and_o faithful_a in_o all_o thing_n such_o as_o have_v be_v baptize_v according_a to_o christ_n appointment_n after_o they_o have_v learn_v he_o or_o be_v make_v disciple_n for_o our_o bless_a saviour_n himself_o be_v baptize_v about_o thirty_o year_n of_o age_n who_o be_v to_o be_v a_o lead_a

and_o in_o a_o word_n none_o be_v fit_a to_o ordain_v minister_n but_o such_o as_o have_v be_v follower_n of_o christ_n as_o he_o have_v lead_v they_o a_o example_n who_o have_v be_v first_o make_v disciple_n and_o afterward_o baptise_v and_o also_o have_v be_v a_o example_n or_o pattern_n of_o good_a work_n to_o other_o for_o such_o be_v all_o the_o persbyâ—res_n of_o old_a as_o at_o large_a can_v prove_v for_o from_o be_v such_o as_o your_o presbyter_n be_v viz_o the_o lord_n bishop_n although_o he_o be_v your_o reverend_a father_n in_o god_n and_o second_o as_o to_o the_o qualification_n of_o the_o person_n ordain_v to_o be_v minister_n 1._o they_o must_v be_v such_o as_o be_v gift_v from_o god_n to_o preach_v the_o word_n instant_a in_o season_n or_o out_o of_o season_n that_o be_v to_o say_v at_o all_o time_n they_o must_v not_o be_v such_o as_o want_v a_o library_n tie_v to_o their_o back_n nor_o a_o three_o penny_n sermon_n book_n to_o preach_v from_o but_o must_v be_v such_o as_o be_v acquaint_v with_o the_o mind_n and_o will_n of_o god_n as_o it_o be_v reveal_v in_o scripture_n as_o say_v the_o apostle_n a_o bishop_n must_v be_v blameless_a as_o the_o sleward_n of_o god_n not_o self-willed_a not_o soon_o angry_a not_o give_v to_o wine_n mark_v that_o nor_o fibby_n luore_fw-mi but_o vigilant_a apt_a to_o teach_v a_o lover_n of_o hospitality_n a_o lover_n of_o good_a man_n sober_a just_a holy_a temperate_a hold_v fast_o the_o faithful_a word_n etc._n etc._n thus_o must_v a_o true_a minister_n be_v qualify_v and_o more_o also_o the_o which_o will_v be_v too_o large_a for_o i_o at_o present_a as_o in_o reference_n to_o my_o occasion_n to_o mention_v in_o particular_a and_o therefore_o shall_v pass_v to_o the_o three_o and_o last_o thing_n which_o be_v the_o formality_n or_o method_n of_o election_n and_o ordination_n together_o with_o the_o work_n contain_v in_o the_o office_n and_o because_o i_o have_v hint_v at_o be_v already_o i_o shall_v be_v brief_a and_o say_v that_o a_o minister_n that_o be_v true_o make_v ought_v to_o be_v choose_v by_o a_o joint_a consent_n of_o the_o church_n and_o to_o be_v a_o man_n of_o their_o own_o coast_n that_o be_v of_o the_o same_o church_n and_o his_o gift_n try_v and_o approve_v therefore_o we_o never_o read_v that_o there_o be_v ever_o any_o minister_n ordain_v or_o appoint_v to_o this_o or_o that_o church_n unless_o he_o first_o have_v be_v a_o member_n with_o they_o and_o ordain_v among_o they_o and_o therefore_o titus_n be_v leave_v in_o crete_n to_o ordain_v elder_n if_o there_o be_v find_v any_o among_o they_o fit_o qualify_v from_o whence_o we_o may_v see_v that_o the_o true_a ministry_n have_v not_o so_o large_a a_o licence_n as_o you_o travel_a minister_n have_v unless_o be_v be_v the_o apostle_n they_o go_v from_o place_n to_o place_n to_o plant_v church_n but_o not_o to_o look_v for_o the_o big_a live_n but_o where_o the_o lord_n have_v any_o work_n to_o do_v they_o do_v it_o and_o yet_o do_v not_o bargain_n before_o hand_n what_o wage_n they_o shall_v have_v for_o so_o do_v neither_o do_v they_o covet_v any_o man_n gold_n or_o silver_n or_o the_o like_a but_o you_o may_v see_v more_o of_o this_o in_o my_o former_a treatise_n entitle_v zions_n redemption_n and_o original_a sin_n again_o as_o a_o true_a minister_n must_v be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o same_o
