see_v 1_o cor._n 1._o 17._o but_o to_o your_o four_o argument_n if_o no_o priest_n or_o prophet_n may_v offer_v sacrifice_n under_o the_o law_n without_o a_o call_v than_o none_o may_v preach_v the_o

argument_n be_v one_o in_o substance_n with_o your_o first_o i_o think_v your_o university_n divinity_n have_v deliver_v you_o from_o such_o tautology_n and_o although_o i_o suppose_v there_o be_v enough_o say_v in_o my_o answer_n to_o the_o first_o for_o satisfaction_n to_o both_o yet_o i_o shall_v follow_v you_o in_o this_o likewise_o that_o so_o i_o may_v not_o leave_v one_o stone_n unturned_a nor_o any_o part_n of_o your_o warlike_a frame_n uncharged_a that_o so_o your_o pulpit-guard_n may_v be_v whole_o and_o total_o rout_v and_o to_o your_o argument_n i_o give_v you_o a_o treble_a answer_n first_o that_o there_o be_v no_o comparison_n to_o be_v make_v between_o the_o jewish_a priest_n and_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n although_o indeed_o yourselves_o in_o many_o thing_n run_v parallel_n with_o they_o but_o this_o i_o have_v answer_v to_o your_o first_o therefore_o second_o i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o parity_n of_o jewish_a priest_n and_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o will_v hold_v in_o your_o argument_n that_o be_v nonsensicall_a like_o most_o of_o the_o rest_n because_o the_o jewish_a priest_n or_o prophet_n in_o time_n of_o the_o law_n only_o may_v offer_v sacrifice_n therefore_o none_o may_v preach_v or_o minister_v ordinance_n under_o the_o gospel_n without_o a_o call_v you_o may_v as_o well_o make_v this_o argument_n because_o none_o be_v circumcise_v under_o the_o law_n but_o man_n child_n therefore_o none_o under_o the_o gospel_n but_o man_n child_n must_v be_v baptize_v but_o sir_n the_o limit_v of_o the_o legal_a sacrifice_n to_o the_o legal_a priesthood_n be_v no_o ground_n why_o none_o but_o minister_n in_o office_n shall_v preach_v it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o they_o that_o none_o but_o they_o shall_v offer_v sacrifice_n so_o under_o the_o gospel_n the_o command_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o rule_n of_o saint_n and_o that_o be_v it_o that_o make_v thing_n lawful_a or_o unlawful_a the_o lord_n will_v have_v his_o servant_n not_o to_o hide_v their_o talent_n but_o that_o which_o they_o hear_v in_o secret_a they_o shall_v proclaim_v upon_o the_o house_n top_n that_o be_v public_o &_o not_o to_o hide_v as_o by_o stealth_n his_o goodness_n within_o they_o and_o this_o which_o you_o for_o base_a and_o self-end_n so_o much_o cry_v out_o against_o be_v never_o forbid_v but_o ever_o approve_v both_o in_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n any_o servant_n of_o the_o lord_n may_v and_o do_v prophesy_v and_o preach_v forth_o the_o goodness_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o other_o moses_n wish_v

of_o man_n his_o mighty_a act_n and_o the_o glorious_a majesty_n of_o his_o kingdom_n note_v man_n it_o be_v the_o saint_n work_v and_o privilege_n to_o declare_v the_o glorious_a majesty_n of_o the_o
