do_v nothing_o but_o concern_v government_n without_o question_n joshuah_n will_v not_o have_v desire_v moses_n to_o forbid_v they_o in_o regard_n that_o god_n have_v make_v know_v that_o he_o will_v take_v off_o the_o spirit_n that_o be_v on_o moses_n and_o give_v it_o unto_o the_o seaventy_n and_o this_o joshuah_n can_v not_o but_o know_v for_o the_o lord_n say_v to_o moses_n in_o the_o 16_o ver_fw-la gather_v unto_o i_o seaventy_fw-la man_n of_o the_o elder_n of_o israel_n who_o thou_o know_v to_o be_v the_o elder_n of_o people_n and_o officer_n over_o they_o now_o from_o hence_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o joshuah_n know_v they_o be_v officer_n that_o be_v magistrate_n and_o if_o in_o point_n of_o government_n it_o be_v that_o which_o they_o do_v than_o i_o conceive_v joshuah_n will_v not_o have_v say_v moses_n forbid_v they_o second_o the_o lord_n say_v i_o will_v come_v down_o and_o talk_v with_o thou_o and_o i_o will_v take_v of_o the_o spirit_n that_o be_v one_o thou_o and_o will_v put_v it_o on_o they_o now_o it_o be_v clear_a in_o the_o scripture_n that_o moses_n have_v not_o only_o a_o spirit_n of_o government_n but_o a_o spirit_n of_o prophecy_n or_o preach_v of_o prayer_n and_o supplication_n 7.37_o exod._n 14.15_o deut._n 18.15_o act._n 7.37_o therefore_o if_o god_n take_v of_o that_o spirit_n that_o be_v upon_o moses_n and_o give_v it_o to_o the_o seaventy_n whereof_o eldad_n &_o medad_n be_v than_o it_o can_v be_v restrain_v only_o to_o government_n but_o it_o must_v extend_v to_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o operation_n and_o work_n of_o it_o as_o to_o prophesy_v or_o preach_v the_o great_a matter_n of_o god_n law_n to_o his_o people_n obj._n but_o some_o may_v further_o object_v and_o say_v these_o be_v officer_n and_o such_o as_o moses_n know_v to_o be_v so_o therefore_o it_o will_v not_o follow_v from_o hence_o that_o all_o may_v preach_v though_o guift_v except_o they_o be_v officer_n as_o these_o be_v answ_n i_o grant_v they_o be_v officer_n in_o the_o commonwealth_n of_o israel_n to_o wit_n magistrate_n but_o what_o be_v this_o to_o the_o thing_n in_o hand_n to_o wit_n preach_v without_o ordination_n for_o there_o be_v no_o

man_n fit_v and_o enable_v by_o god_n to_o supply_v the_o several_a office_n in_o his_o house_n and_o sanctuary_n to_o invest_v and_o ordain_v they_o 5._o if_o the_o church_n have_v power_n it_o

i_o can_v see_v except_o the_o pope_n ordination_n will_v serve_v which_o for_o my_o part_n i_o be_o loath_a to_o allow_v 6._o again_o for_o to_o choose_v one_o into_o office_n presuppose_v a_o

of_o john_n he_o be_v not_o yet_o come_v far_o enough_o in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o gospel_n for_o that_o these_o reason_n i_o conceive_v be_v sufficient_a to_o evidence_n to_o all_o man_n that_o be_v not_o guide_v by_o a_o partial_a spirit_n that_o apollo_n here_o preach_v not_o by_o virtue_n of_o any_o office_n or_o ordination_n but_o by_o the_o virtue_n and_o power_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n operation_n in_o he_o but_o some_o may_v say_v this_o man_n be_v extraordinary_o guift_v by_o god_n and_o so_o by_o his_o extraordinary_a gift_n preach_v object_n i_o answer_v that_o some_o thing_n especial_o above_o other_o man_n be_v record_v of_o he_o as_o that_o namely_o he_o be_v a_o very_a eloquent_a man_n answ_n 18.24_o act_n 18.24_o and_o that_o he_o be_v mighty_a in_o the_o scripture_n and_o that_o he_o bold_o teach_v and_o that_o by_o his_o teach_n he_o mighty_o convince_v the_o jew_n but_o that_o this_o do_v prove_v that_o he_o be_v extraordinary_o endue_v with_o gift_n from_o god_n i_o can_v see_v but_o do_v believe_v the_o contrary_a and_o for_o that_o i_o shall_v offer_v the_o reader_n these_o reason_n first_o because_o if_o god_n have_v extraordinary_o inspire_v he_o he_o can_v not_o have_v be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o reveal_v will_n way_n and_o council_n of_o god_n declare_v in_o the_o gospel_n and_o only_o to_o have_v know_v the_o baptism_n of_o john_n 20.26.27_o act_n 20.26.27_o for_o none_o that_o god_n do_v so_o inspire_v but_o do_v know_v the_o whole_a council_n of_o god_n reveal_v as_o witness_v paul_n and_o all_o the_o oiher_n apostles_n 16._o john_n 14.28_o and_o 16.13_o to_o 16._o 2._o because_o if_o he_o have_v be_v so_o inspire_v than_o he_o will_v have_v no_o need_n of_o aquillaes_n and_o priscilla_n teach_v or_o more_o perfect_a learning_n he_o the_o way_n of_o god_n for_o than_o he_o may_v better_o have_v teach_v they_o but_o we_o find_v that_o when_o they_o have_v hear_v he_o they_o take_v he_o unto_o they_o and_o expound_v or_o show_v he_o the_o way_n of_o god_n more_o perfect_o and_o therefore_o for_o these_o reason_n be_v it_o that_o i_o believe_v he_o be_v not_o extraordinary_o guift_v of_o god_n and_o so_o much_o may_v serve_v to_o evidence_n the_o truth_n from_o those_o false_a gloss_n and_o misinterpretation_n that_o some_o have_v endeavour_v to_o put_v upon_o this_o scripture_n to_o

11.19_o 20_o ver_fw-la thus_o now_o they_o that_o be_v scatter_v abroad_o upon_o the_o persecution_n that_o rise_v about_o stephen_n travail_v as_o far_o as_o phenice_n and_o cyprus_n and_o antioch_n

what_o god_n by_o his_o spirit_n have_v record_v in_o these_o place_n of_o scripture_n for_o our_o learning_n if_o it_o be_v well_o mind_v god_n do_v as_o it_o be_v point_n out_o to_o we_o his_o

ordain_v man_n namely_o pastor_n teacher_n or_o elder_n it_o seem_v somewhat_o strange_a to_o i_o that_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o a_o church_n shall_v be_v ordain_v minister_n for_o that_o be_v to_o make_v the_o body_n monstrous_a and_o disorderly_a because_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v 1._o corinth_n 12_o 17_o ver_fw-la if_o the_o whole_a body_n be_v a_o eye_n where_o be_v the_o hear_n if_o the_o

clear_a that_o if_o god_n be_v the_o god_n of_o order_n and_o do_v all_o thing_n orderly_o it_o can_v be_v think_v that_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o this_o church_n be_v at_o jerusalem_n with_o the_o

and_o not_o to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n for_o that_o be_v beside_o his_o office_n and_o no_o and_o of_o be_v ordain_v this_o i_o leave_v by_o the_o wise_a to_o be_v judge_v that_o they_o be_v extraordinary_o inspire_v to_o man_n seem_v unreasonable_a and_o that_o for_o these_o reason_n first_o because_o there_o be_v not_o the_o least_o tittle_n in_o the_o text_n than_o give_v any_o hint_n that_o way_n second_o because_o the_o only_a title_n give_v they_o be_v all_o the_o church_n that_o be_v at_o jerusalem_n except_o the_o apostle_n be_v scatter_v and_o they_o be_v some_o of_o they_o
