where_o barnabas_n simeon_n lucius_n manaen_n and_o saul_n be_v call_v prophet_n and_o teacher_n and_o not_o apostle_n for_o i_o think_v as_o yet_o saul_n be_v not_o join_v to_o the_o number_n of_o

deacon_n be_v there_o after_o advance_v to_o be_v a_o evangelist_n always_o we_o gain_v thus_o much_o that_o deacon_n must_v preach_v and_o administer_v the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v not_o layman_n that_o deacon_n be_v not_o layman_n but_o preacher_n and_o a_o three_o order_n of_o church_n governor_n it_o be_v evident_a act_v 6._o for_o as_o soon_o as_o there_o be_v any_o need_n of_o man_n of_o that_o office_n that_o be_v when_o the_o number_n of_o the_o disciple_n be_v multiply_v they_o be_v choose_v and_o elect_v by_o the_o apostle_n yea_o they_o be_v elect_v too_o before_o the_o apostle_n go_v out_o of_o jerusalem_n &_o separate_v themselves_o to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n to_o all_o nation_n for_o they_o behove_v to_o be_v helper_n of_o the_o

the_o apostle_n may_v give_v themselves_o to_o prayer_n and_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n act_v 6.4_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o may_v be_v see_v act_v 10.48_o where_o the_o apostle_n peter_n give_v commandment_n no_o question_n to_o the_o deacon_n to_o baptise_v cornelius_n and_o those_o who_o be_v with_o he_o so_o we_o may_v see_v 1_o cor._n 1._o that_o the_o apostle_n paul_n attribute_n

the_o gospel_n not_o that_o he_o may_v not_o baptise_v for_o we_o see_v the_o contrary_a in_o the_o word_n but_o because_o the_o apostle_n give_v themselves_o chief_o to_o prayer_n and_o the_o

to_o they_o as_o their_o chief_a bishop_n and_o overseer_n for_o as_o yet_o the_o apostle_n reserve_v the_o chief_a care_n of_o that_o church_n to_o himself_o although_o some_o think_v that_o epaphroditus_n be_v chief_a bishop_n of_o that_o place_n howsoever_o we_o see_v two_o order_n here_o of_o churchman_n and_o i_o hope_v none_o will_v deny_v but_o the_o apostle_n be_v in_o order_n and_o degree_n above_o they_o we_o see_v they_o also_o make_v mention_n of_o in_o the_o epistle_n of_o paul_n to_o timothy_n and_o titus_n over_o who_o timothy_n and_o titus_n be_v place_v as_o

know_v that_o it_o will_v be_v object_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v but_o two_o order_n of_o church_n governor_n now_o under_o the_o gospel_n because_o christ_n himself_o appoint_v but_o two_o

because_o he_o supply_v the_o room_n of_o the_o high_a priest_n himself_o neither_o will_v he_o have_v any_o more_o during_o his_o own_o ministry_n he_o be_v chief_a governor_n of_o the_o church_n himself_o and_o he_o will_v have_v no_o suffragans_fw-la as_o long_a as_o he_o live_v where_o the_o king_n be_v present_v himself_o he_o need_v not_o a_o commissioner_n nor_o a_o viceroy_n again_o have_v christ_n choose_v three_o order_n in_o his_o own_o time_n then_o there_o shall_v have_v be_v four_o order_n of_o church_n governor_n all_o the_o while_n of_o christ_n his_o ministry_n upon_o

but_o two_o and_o leave_v the_o three_o to_o be_v add_v by_o the_o apostle_n after_o his_o departure_n which_o they_o do_v with_o all_o diligence_n as_o we_o may_v see_v act_v 6._o that_o our_o saviour_n use_v this_o analogy_n in_o this_o i_o will_v prove_v by_o other_o particular_n wherein_o he_o observe_v the_o like_a analogy_n and_o first_o in_o the_o number_n of_o the_o sacrament_n as_o his_o father_n appoint_v but_o two_o under_o the_o law_n circumcision_n and_o the_o paschall_n lamb_n so_o he_o appoint_v but_o two_o under_o the_o gospel_n baptism_n and_o the_o supper_n of_o the_o lord_n the_o one_o to_o succeed_v in_o place_n of_o circumcision_n the_o other_o in_o place_n of_o the_o paschall_n lamb_n and_o again_o as_o circumcision_n do_v represent_v unto_o we_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n so_o our_o saviour_n will_v have_v baptism_n to_o represent_v to_o we_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o as_o the_o passeover_n represent_v to_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n their_o bodily_a deliverance_n from_o the_o bondage_n of_o egypt_n so_o our_o saviour_n will_v have_v his_o last_o supper_n to_o represent_v to_o we_o our_o spiritual_a deliverance_n from_o the_o bondage_n of_o sin_n and_o satan_n when_o our_o saviour_n institute_v baptism_n he_o devise_v no_o new_a ceremony_n but_o take_v that_o ceremony_n of_o wash_v which_o the_o jew_n use_v in_o their_o purification_n &_o appoint_v it_o to_o represent_v our_o spiritual_a wash_n from_o sin_n so_o likewise_o in_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o other_o sacrament_n he_o do_v not_o devise_v any_o new_a ceremony_n to_o represent_v his_o death_n and_o passion_n but_o take_v the_o last_o part_n of_o the_o paschall_n supper_n and_o appoint_v it_o for_o that_o us●e_n the_o custom_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v after_o the_o supper_n be_v end_v and_o the_o paschall_n lamb_n caten_v he_o that_o be_v master_n of_o the_o feast_n take_v as_o many_o piece_n of_o bread_n as_o there_o be_v people_n present_a at_o the_o eat_n of_o the_o lamb_n and_o there_o behove_v to_o be_v between_o the_o number_n of_o ten_o and_o the_o number_n of_o twenty_o for_o there_o may_v not_o be_v few_o than_o ten_o nor_o more_o than_o twenty_o and_o give_v every_o one_o a_o piece_n say_v these_o word_n this_o be_v the_o bread_n of_o affliction_n which_o your_o father_n eat_v in_o the_o wilderness_n and_o thereafter_o he_o take_v the_o cup_n and_o give_v it_o to_o they_o say_v this_o be_v the_o cup_n of_o affliction_n which_o your_o father_n drink_v in_o the_o wilderness_n now_o our_o saviour_n christ_n reserve_v the_o same_o ceremony_n for_o the_o text_n say_v that_o first_o he_o take_v bread_n and_o after_o that_o he_o have_v give_v thanks_o he_o break_v it_o and_o give_v to_o every_o one_o a_o portion_n and_o say_v this_o be_v

then_o according_a to_o the_o replyer_n opinion_n who_o maintain_v that_o the_o high_a priest_n be_v a_o type_n and_o figure_n of_o christ_n as_o he_o be_v chief_a governor_n of_o the_o church_n they_o must_v be_v cashier_v for_o we_o can_v have_v chief_a governor_n now_o under_o the_o gospel_n according_a to_o my_o opposite_n tenet_n and_o so_o it_o will_v follow_v we_o must_v have_v no_o

move_v by_o the_o spirit_n i_o answer_v further_o that_o those_o three_o order_n be_v neither_o christ_n nor_o his_o apostle_n ordinance_n for_o any_o evidence_n that_o i_o can_v see_v in_o
