number_n of_o learned_a man_n above_o other_o nation_n yet_o see_v the_o number_n of_o parish_n be_v exceed_v great_a we_o be_v constrain_v to_o tolerate_v some_o of_o mean_a sufficiency_n and_o yet_o the_o 34._o law_n require_v that_o every_o one_o to_o be_v admit_v into_o the_o ministry_n shall_v understand_v the_o article_n of_o religion_n not_o only_o as_o they_o be_v compendious_o set_v down_o

let_v i_o advise_v those_o minister_n which_o be_v no_o preacher_n that_o they_o spend_v not_o their_o time_n idle_o but_o endeavour_n by_o all_o mean_n to_o grow_v in_o wisdom_n and_o grace_n lest_o

read_v public_o if_o they_o shall_v delight_v to_o read_v the_o bible_n private_o if_o they_o shall_v join_v some_o short_a and_o easy_a commentary_n if_o they_o shall_v inform_v their_o judgement_n by_o introduction_n and_o institution_n of_o christian_a religion_n if_o they_o shall_v be_v willing_a to_o learn_v of_o such_o as_o can_v teach_v they_o and_o to_o teach_v such_o as_o ought_v to_o learn_v of_o they_o if_o they_o shall_v be_v diligent_a in_o catechise_v if_o they_o shall_v delight_v in_o conference_n and_o meditate_v upon_o the_o law_n of_o god_n day_n and_o night_n and_o withal_o be_v devout_a and_o fervent_a in_o prayer_n there_o be_v no_o doubt_n i_o say_v but_o that_o god_n may_v so_o bless_v their_o grain_n of_o mustard_n seed_n that_o it_o may_v grow_v into_o a_o goodly_a tree_n their_o sparkle_n that_o it_o may_v become_v a_o flame_n their_o drop_n that_o it_o may_v rise_v into_o a_o river_n and_o overflow_v like_o nilus_n with_o her_o silver_n stream_n bless_v o_o lord_n these_o gracious_a beginning_n and_o holy_a endeavour_n let_v they_o not_o be_v like_o the_o morning_n dew_n that_o dry_v away_o but_o let_v they_o grow_v in_o grace_n and_o
