it_o be_v not_o then_o without_o cause_n that_o joel_n attribute_v this_o title_n or_o name_n of_o prophet_n to_o they_o who_o have_v no_o public_a charge_n or_o office_n to_o teach_v but_o be_v

twenty_o year_n only_o but_o for_o always_o even_o unto_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n wherein_o he_o manifest_o set_v out_o and_o declare_v two_o thing_n one_o that_o he_o will_v and_o ordein_v that_o the_o ministry_n be_v exercise_v in_o the_o church_n not_o for_o one_o age_n only_o but_o continual_o unto_o the_o consummation_n and_o end_n of_o all_o thing_n the_o other_o be_v that_o he_o promise_v that_o although_o satan_n subtle_o devise_v and_o invent_v and_o practice_v all_o that_o he_o can_v to_o hinder_v the_o ministry_n &_o the_o work_n of_o god_n servant_n and_o that_o tyrant_n

will_v by_o his_o godly_a and_o heavenly_a power_n always_o mayntein_v his_o truth_n in_o the_o world_n and_o preserve_v his_o church_n therein_o by_o the_o ministry_n &_o labour_n of_o his_o faithful_a pastor_n the_o second_o reason_n 10.17_o rom._n 10.17_o the_o apostle_n saint_n paul_n say_v to_o the_o roman_n that_o faith_n come_v by_o hear_v and_o hear_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n whereby_o he_o declare_v that_o god_n have_v accustom_v to_o plant_v faith_n in_o our_o heart_n by_o the_o preach_n of_o his_o word_n it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o power_n of_o god_n be_v not_o tie_v to_o this_o outward_a mean_a but_o that_o he_o be_v able_a to_o beget_v faith_n in_o we_o after_o some_o other_o fashion_n and_o by_o some_o other_o mean_v although_o it_o be_v to_o we_o incomprehensible_a even_o as_o it_o shall_v please_v he_o self_n but_o notwithstanding_o all_o this_o the_o ministry_n of_o his_o word_n be_v the_o ordinary_a mean_a which_o he_o use_v or_o serve_v himself_o with_o to_o give_v we_o faith_n by_o so_o that_o they_o which_o will_v have_v faith_n wirhout_v the_o preach_n and_o hear_v of_o the_o word_n do_v as_o much_o as_o though_o they_o will_v live_v without_o meat_n and_o drink_n which_o god_n have_v ordain_v for_o our_o bodily_a life_n now_o hereupon_o we_o take_v and_o frame_v our_o argument_n thus_o faith_n be_v in_o all_o time_n and_o always_o necessary_a for_o man_n but_o faith_n be_v give_v unto_o man_n from_o god_n by_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n be_v in_o all_o time_n and_o always_o necessary_a for_o man_n the_o third_o reason_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o for_o as_o much_o as_o the_o sacrament_n be_v ordain_v by_o god_n to_o be_v as_o it_o be_v seal_n of_o the_o word_n to_o seal_v in_o our_o heart_n that_o which_o be_v therein_o contain_v already_o that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o union_n fellowship_n and_o partake_v which_o we_o have_v in_o jesus_n christ_n it_o follow_v that_o where_o there_o be_v not_o the_o word_n of_o god_n preach_v there_o we_o can_v have_v any_o sacrament_n for_o as_o a_o seal_n be_v altogether_o unprofitable_a yea_o be_v not_o allow_v a_o seal_n unless_o it_o be_v bind_v or_o set_v to_o some_o instrument_n or_o writing_n for_o the_o confirmation_n thereof_o even_o so_o the_o sacrament_n be_v altogether_o unprofitable_a yea_o indeed_o be_v not_o a_o sacrament_n if_o it_o be_v not_o join_v with_o the_o word_n of_o god_n preach_v to_o confirm_v the_o same_o unto_o us._n whereupon_o s._n augustine_n

very_o not_o of_o a_o word_n mumble_v up_o murmur_v or_o whisper_v without_o understanding_n over_o the_o element_n but_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n preach_v to_o the_o faithful_a and_o receive_v of_o they_o through_o faith_n as_o he_o himself_o make_v it_o plain_a when_o speak_v of_o baptism_n he_o add_v this_o be_v the_o word_n of_o faith_n which_o we_o preach_v by_o which_o baptism_n be_v consecrate_v and_o hallow_a 11.21_o 1._o cor._n 11.21_o to_o have_v power_n to_o make_v clean_o now_o from_o that_o which_o be_v above_o say_v we_o reason_n after_o this_o manner_n the_o administration_n of_o the_o holy_a supper_n be_v always_o necessary_a in_o the_o church_n even_o unto_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n for_o jesus_n christ_n have_v command_v we_o to_o celebrate_v it_o &_o by_o that_o mean_n to_o preach_v or_o show_v forth_o his_o death_n until_o his_o come_n again_o but_o the_o administration_n of_o the_o supper_n can_v be_v perform_v without_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n

yet_o it_o can_v not_o be_v but_o a_o particular_a church_n &_o at_o no_o hand_n the_o universal_a church_n whereof_o we_o speak_v they_o also_o be_v likewise_o deceive_v who_o think_v to_o chase_v and_o banish_v this_o church_n out_o of_o the_o world_n for_o see_v that_o it_o be_v universal_a it_o shall_v never_o want_v place_n but_o it_o shall_v always_o be_v gather_v together_o &_o receive_v
