together_o against_o all_o foreign_a force_n so_o ought_v god_n minister_n to_o do_v because_o their_o number_n be_v so_o small_a if_o they_o be_v many_o less_o danger_n in_o their_o disunion_n but_o see_v they_o be_v so_o few_o the_o more_o it_o concern_v they_o to_o cut_v off_o contention_n and_o all_o occasion_n of_o debate_n and_o to_o join_v hand_n in_o hand_n against_o these_o common_a adversary_n student_n in_o the_o three_o place_n young_a student_n be_v here_o teach_v see_v a_o true_a minister_n be_v but_o one_o of_o a_o thousand_o that_o therefore_o they_o bend_v their_o study_n and_o their_o thought_n to_o the_o ministry_n for_o they_o well_o know_v it_o be_v a_o old_a proverb_n the_o best_a thing_n be_v hard_a to_o come_v by_o &_o certain_o there_o be_v so_o few_o good_a minister_n because_o the_o holy_a ministry_n in_o itself_o be_v so_o high_a &_o excellent_a a_o call_n &_o as_o it_o be_v a_o shame_n to_o the_o man_n that_o there_o be_v so_o few_o good_a minister_n so_o it_o be_v a_o commendation_n to_o the_o call_n who_o honour_n and_o excellency_n be_v such_o that_o as_o we_o see_v here_o scarce_o one_o of_o a_o thousand_o attain_v unto_o it_o therefore_o man_n of_o the_o most_o excellent_a gift_n be_v here_o invite_v to_o dedicate_v themselves_o unto_o the_o most_o excellent_a vocation_n yea_o very_o reason_n itself_o will_v urge_v a_o man_n to_o be_v one_o of_o a_o thousand_o 2_o and_o further_o as_o they_o be_v to_o intend_v this_o call_n as_o the_o most_o rare_a and_o excellent_a so_o this_o must_v teach_v they_o likewise_o to_o hasten_v to_o furnish_v themselves_o with_o all_o good_a help_n and_o mean_n that_o they_o may_v become_v true_a minister_n and_o able_a jnterpreter_n &_o not_o too_o long_o to_o stick_v in_o those_o study_n which_o keep_v a_o man_n from_o the_o practice_n of_o this_o high_a function_n for_o it_o be_v not_o to_o live_v in_o the_o university_n or_o in_o the_o college_n &_o to_o study_v though_o a_o man_n never_o so_o fast_o devour_v up_o learning_n but_o to_o be_v a_o good_a minister_n be_v that_o that_o make_v a_o man_n one_o of_o a_o thousand_o in_o the_o last_o place_n hearer_n be_v here_o teach_v their_o duty_n first_o hearer_n to_o respect_v with_o reverence_n the_o person_n and_o to_o receive_v with_o reverence_n the_o message_n of_o every_o true_a messenger_n see_v it_o be_v so_o rare_a a_o thing_n to_o find_v a_o true_a minister_n for_o as_o nothing_o be_v more_o vile_a or_o base_a than_o a_o evil_a and_o lewd_a minister_n who_o christ_n compare_v to_o salt_n which_o have_v lose_v his_o savour_n which_o be_v good_a for_o nothing_o 13_o but_o to_o be_v cast_v out_o &_o tread_v down_o of_o man_n so_o be_v there_o none_o worthy_a of_o more_o love_n and_o reverence_v they_o a_o holy_a minister_n for_o as_o isaiah_n say_v their_o very_a foot_n be_v beautiful_a which_o bring_v glad_a tiding_n and_o we_o shall_v kiss_v their_o foot_n which_o bring_v news_n of_o peace_n therefore_o all_o good_a christian_n be_v to_o receive_v and_o use_v a_o good_a minister_n as_o saint_n paul_n say_v the_o galatian_n do_v he_o 16_o even_o as_o a_o angel_n of_o god_n have_v thou_o then_o a_o godly_a pastor_n run_v to_o he_o for_o conference_n for_o comfort_n for_o counsel_n use_v his_o company_n frequent_v his_o sermon_n account_v he_o worthy_a of_o double_a honour_n think_v it_o no_o

some_o have_v no_o minister_n some_o have_v a_o minister_n and_o yet_o alas_o he_o be_v not_o one_o of_o a_o thousand_o and_o further_o all_o man_n that_o be_v father_n may_v here_o learn_v to_o

man_n shall_v think_v himself_o happy_a and_o honour_v of_o god_n who_o may_v be_v father_n to_o such_o a_o son_n as_o shall_v prove_v one_o of_o a_o thousand_o in_o a_o word_n to_o conclude_v this_o point_n all_o man_n must_v here_o learn_v man_n see_v good_a minister_n be_v so_o scarce_o to_o pray_v the_o lord_n of_o the_o harvest_n to_o thrust_v out_o more_o labourer_n into_o his_o harvest_n and_o for_o those_o that_o be_v call_v already_o that_o god_n will_v make_v they_o faithful_a in_o that_o high_a function_n and_o as_o elisha_n crave_v of_o elias_n 9_o that_o the_o good_a spirit_n

he_o feel_v be_v bring_v down_o as_o it_o be_v to_o the_o very_a gate_n of_o hell_n when_o this_o sinner_n by_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o law_n be_v bring_v to_o a_o true_a sight_n of_o this_o

his_o righteousness_n namely_o that_o though_o in_o himself_o he_o be_v as_o ill_a &_o as_o foul_a as_o sin_n can_v make_v he_o &_o as_o the_o law_n can_v discover_v he_o to_o be_v yet_o in_o christ_n he_o be_v righteous_a &_o just_a and_o by_o christ_n so_o justify_v as_o he_o be_v no_o more_o a_o sinner_n in_o the_o presence_n &_o account_n of_o god_n this_o be_v the_o righteousness_n of_o a_o christian_a man_n this_o be_v the_o justification_n of_o a_o sinner_n and_o to_o declare_v this_o righteousness_n to_o he_o that_o repent_v and_o believe_v be_v the_o proper_a duty_n of_o a_o true_a minister_n in_o the_o act_n paul_n say_v of_o himself_o that_o he_o witness_v to_o the_o jew_n 21_o &_o to_o the_o gentile_n the_o repentance_n towards_o god_n and_o faith_n towards_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ._n in_o which_o word_n be_v lay_v down_o the_o complete_a duty_n of_o a_o minister_n as_o he_o be_v a_o public_a angel_n or_o interpreter_n first_o to_o preach_v repentance_n which_o a_o man_n must_v perform_v to_o god_n who_o by_o his_o sin_n he_o have_v grievous_o offend_v second_o to_o preach_v faith_n in_o christ_n and_o free_a forgiveness_n and_o perfect_a salvation_n through_o that_o faith_n in_o christ_n to_o all_o that_o shall_v true_o believe_v in_o he_o and_o after_o both_o these_o follow_v that_o which_o be_v here_o speak_v of_o which_o comprehend_v both_o the_o former_a namely_o to_o declare_v unto_o man_n his_o righteousness_n so_o that_o in_o these_o word_n be_v inclusive_o lay_v down_o these_o point_n of_o a_o minister_n call_v first_o a_o true_a minister_n may_v &_o must_v declare_v unto_o a_o sinful_a man_n where_o righteousness_n be_v to_o be_v find_v 2._o namely_o in_o jesus_n christ_n the_o righteous_a second_o how_o that_o righteousness_n may_v be_v obtain_v namely_o by_o do_v two_o duty_n first_o by_o deny_v &_o disclaim_v his_o own_o righteousness_n and_o that_o be_v do_v by_o repentance_n second_o by_o claim_v &_o clean_v to_o christ_n righteousness_n and_o that_o be_v do_v by_o faith_n three_o a_o true_a minister_n may_v and_o must_v declare_v this_o righteousness_n to_o he_o that_o be_v first_o publish_v and_o proclaim_v it_o that_o it_o be_v ready_a to_o be_v bestow_v on_o every_o sinner_n which_o will_v thus_o apprehend_v it_o and_o that_o it_o be_v able_a to_o justify_v and_o save_v he_o second_o beside_o a_o bare_a publication_n of_o this_o justification_n he_o must_v as_o paul_n do_v witness_n and_o testify_v it_o to_o the_o conscience_n of_o the_o sinner_n that_o it_o be_v as_o certain_o true_a as_o god_n be_v true_a for_o as_o a_o witness_n in_o doubtful_a case_n be_v call_v that_o by_o his_o testimony_n he_o may_v clear_v the_o truth_n so_o when_o the_o conscience_n of_o poor_a sinner_n be_v waver_a and_o doubtful_a what_o to_o believe_v when_o they_o doubt_v of_o this_o righteousness_n then_o be_v a_o true_a minister_n as_o a_o faithful_a witness_n of_o god_n to_o aver_v and_o testify_v this_o truth_n from_o his_o own_o conscience_n knowledge_n and_o feeling_n of_o the_o infallible_a certainty_n of_o god_n promise_n unto_o the_o doubtful_a and_o distress_a

glorious_a word_n of_o god_n behind_o their_o back_n which_o they_o preach_v to_o other_o with_o ●heir_a mouth_n these_o man_n may_v wonder_v at_o this_o holy_a prophet_n niceness_n or_o else_o all_o

cause_n why_o the_o labour_n of_o such_o man_n be_v almost_o unprofitable_a because_o they_o dare_v come_v into_o god_n presence_n in_o their_o sin_n in_o many_o place_n of_o our_o land_n there_o be_v by_o god_n blessing_n much_o teach_n yet_o there_o be_v little_a reformation_n in_o the_o life_n of_o the_o most_o but_o contrariwise_o some_o fall_n to_o atheism_n some_o to_o papisme_n some_o into_o foul_a sin_n not_o to_o be_v name_v among_o christian_n where_o be_v the_o cause_n sure_o not_o in_o the_o gospel_n nor_o in_o our_o doctrine_n nor_o in_o the_o teach_n of_o it_o but_o one_o very_o principal_a cause_n be_v many_o minister_n come_v into_o god_n presence_n unsanctified_a &_o in_o their_o sin_n not_o care_v how_o loose_o they_o live_v in_o the_o face_n of_o their_o people_n and_o therefore_o god_n in_o justice_n though_o he_o instanst_o smite_v not_o they_o with_o visible_a vengeance_n for_o their_o presumption_n yet_o he_o smite_v the_o people_n with_o spiritual_a blindness_n that_o they_o regard_v not_o their_o doctrine_n but_o look_v at_o their_o life_n and_o do_v rather_o follow_v the_o profaneness_n of_o the_o one_o than_o the_o holiness_n of_o the_o other_o minister_n be_v such_o in_o who_o god_n will_v be_v sanctify_v therefore_o because_o they_o do_v not_o so_o but_o dishonour_v he_o by_o come_v into_o his_o presence_n in_o their_o sin_n therefore_o he_o can_v abide_v they_o nor_o give_v any_o blessing_n to_o their_o labour_n all_o minister_n therefore_o as_o they_o will_v see_v any_o fruit_n of_o their_o ministry_n let_v they_o first_o sanctify_v themselves_o &_o cleanse_v their_o heart_n by_o repentance_n afore_o they_o presume_v to_o stand_v up_o to_o rebuke_v sin_n in_o other_o else_o let_v they_o not_o think_v that_o their_o golden_a

such_o man_n convert_v any_o soul_n from_o popery_n or_o profaneness_n and_o it_o be_v a_o vain_a conceit_n for_o man_n to_o imagine_v there_o be_v any_o force_n in_o eloquence_n or_o humane_a learning_n to_o overthrow_v that_o sin_n in_o other_o which_o rule_v and_o reign_v in_o themselves_o our_o church_n and_o all_o reform_a church_n may_v make_v use_n of_o this_o doctrine_n for_o it_o be_v the_o glory_n of_o a_o church_n to_o have_v their_o doctrine_n powerful_a &_o effectual_a for_o the_o win_n of_o soul_n therefore_o it_o concern_v they_o to_o take_v order_n as_o well_o that_o their_o minister_n be_v godly_a man_n as_o good_a scholar_n &_o their_o life_n inoffensive_a as_o well_o as_o their_o doctrine_n sound_n or_o else_o they_o will_v find_v in_o woeful_a experience_n that_o they_o pull_v down_o as_o much_o with_o the_o one_o hand_n as_o they_o build_v up_o with_o the_o other_o but_o most_o near_o this_o doctrine_n touch_v minister_n themselves_o who_o must_v know_v their_o case_n be_v most_o fearful_a of_o all_o man_n if_o they_o come_v into_o god_n presence_n in_o their_o profaneness_n for_o as_o no_o man_n be_v more_o honourable_a than_o a_o learned_a and_o holy_a minister_n so_o none_o more_o contemptible_a in_o this_o world_n none_o more_o miserable_a for_o that_o to_o come_v than_o he_o that_o by_o his_o loose_a &_o lewd_a life_n do_v
