of_o truth_n but_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n they_o have_v not_o and_o who_o have_v it_o not_o can_v minister_v it_o and_o therefore_o paul_n impute_v all_o the_o good_a fruit_n and_o success_n of_o his_o ministry_n not_o to_o himself_o but_o to_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n that_o be_v with_o he_o and_o in_o he_o 1_o cor._n 15.10_o how_o then_o can_v a_o graceless_a man_n have_v any_o fruit_n or_o success_n in_o his_o ministry_n see_v all_o fruit_n and_o success_n belong_v not_o to_o the_o man_n however_o so_o well_o furnish_v with_o natural_a or_o acquire_v part_n but_o to_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n it_o be_v grace_n grace_n that_o make_v a_o man_n preach_a effectual_a to_o the_o hearer_n and_o that_o grace_n be_v in_o the_o minister_n and_o work_v both_o in_o he_o and_o with_o he_o in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o hearer_n where_o god_n be_v please_v to_o concur_v and_o give_v the_o blessing_n and_o increase_n and_o thus_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n be_v like_o a_o good_a seed_n and_o plant_n that_o not_o only_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n in_o that_o little_a spot_n of_o earth_n where_o it_o be_v first_o plant_v but_o spread_v abroad_o and_o fill_v many_o other_o part_n and_o place_n with_o it_o and_o have_v new_a root_n and_o seed_n continual_o increase_a and_o multiply_v 7._o and_o as_o concern_v the_o call_n to_o the_o ministry_n it_o be_v worthy_a of_o great_a observation_n how_o they_o be_v pinch_v and_o narrow_v to_o give_v any_o colourable_a account_n of_o their_o call_n who_o deny_v all_o inward_a and_o immediate_a call_n to_o the_o ministry_n and_o especial_o such_o of_o they_o who_o say_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v no_o true_a church_n but_o a_o harlot_n and_o the_o pope_n be_v antichrist_n as_o the_o westminster_n cenfession_n of_o faith_n do_v express_o call_v he_o cap._n 25._o sect_n 6._o and_o yet_o the_o presbyterian_a minister_n general_o derive_v their_o call_n from_o he_o and_o i_o have_v hear_v divers_a of_o they_o express_o affirm_v it_o be_v

through_o which_o that_o mediate_a call_n be_v convey_v unto_o they_o they_o have_v plain_o say_v the_o pope_n of_o rome_n as_o one_o late_o a_o preacher_n in_o new-england_n say_v before_o some_o hundred_o of_o people_n that_o their_o call_n to_o preach_v be_v by_o the_o pope_n of_o rome_n and_o so_o according_a to_o their_o own_o doctrine_n by_o antichrist_n sure_o these_o man_n do_v not_o believe_v that_o christ_n be_v in_o they_o either_o to_o call_v or_o furnish_v they_o in_o their_o ministry_n who_o must_v go_v so_o far_o as_o rome_n to_o bring_v it_o and_o from_o he_o too_o who_o they_o call_v antichrist_n but_o they_o think_v rome_n and_o the_o pope_n however_o much_o distant_a from_o they_o be_v much_o near_a than_o christ_n and_o heaven_n from_o who_o the_o true_a minister_n have_v their_o call_n 8._o and_o as_o all_o true_a preach_a aught_o to_o be_v by_o the_o inspiration_n and_o move_v of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n so_o all_o true_a pray_v and_o sing_v both_o in_o private_a and_o in_o public_a for_o still_o that_o be_v it_o which_o the_o scripture_n enjoin_v ephes_n 6.18_o to_o pray_v always_o with_o the_o spirit_n or_o in_o the_o spirit_n and_o no_o man_n can_v say_v that_o jesus_n be_v the_o lord_n either_o in_o preach_v or_o pray_v but_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o i_o charge_v they_o to_o produce_v one_o instance_n where_o pray_v without_o the_o spirit_n be_v command_v any_o where_o in_o scripture_n or_o be_v ever_o practise_v by_o any_o of_o the_o saint_n without_o the_o inspiration_n of_o the_o spirit_n do_v they_o not_o grant_v that_o all_o the_o prayer_n record_v in_o scripture_n do_v proceed_v from_o divine_a inspiration_n and_o revelation_n and_o if_o their_o prayer_n do_v not_o they_o be_v quite_o of_o a_o

some_o say_v then_o man_n who_o neglect_v prayer_n be_v excusable_a because_o they_o have_v not_o the_o spirit_n to_o move_v they_o to_o prayer_n i_o answer_v not_o they_o be_v not_o in_o the_o least_o excusable_a for_o as_o he_o that_o owe_v a_o sum_n of_o money_n to_o his_o prince_n though_o he_o have_v not_o wherewith_o to_o pay_v his_o debt_n be_v still_o debtor_n and_o yet_o must_v not_o pay_v with_o false_a coin_n but_o true_a so_o he_o who_o have_v not_o the_o spirit_n be_v assistance_n and_o help_n to_o pray_v be_v still_o oblige_v to_o pray_v but_o not_o without_o the_o spirit_n and_o that_o he_o have_v not_o the_o spirit_n be_v help_n at_o all_o seasonable_a and_o requisite_a time_n for_o prayer_n it_o be_v his_o own_o default_n who_o have_v resist_v the_o spirit_n and_o provoke_v he_o to_o withdraw_v his_o necessary_a assistance_n from_o he_o for_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v ready_a to_o give_v his_o seasonable_a help_n to_o all_o man_n to_o help_v

tone_n it_o be_v no_o part_n of_o gospel-worship_n be_v no_o where_o either_o command_v or_o practise_v in_o the_o new-testament_n and_o it_o be_v strange_a that_o these_o man_n shall_v be_v against_o pray_v on_o a_o book_n and_o yet_o sing_v on_o a_o book_n for_o if_o the_o one_o be_v not_o spiritual_a the_o other_o be_v not_o 9_o there_o be_v other_o such_o as_o these_o call_v independent_o and_o

say_v they_o have_v the_o call_v of_o the_o church_n but_o still_o the_o question_n be_v whence_o have_v the_o church_n her_o power_n either_o immediate_o or_o mediate_o and_o then_o the_o former_a difficulty_n return_v for_o they_o can_v say_v their_o church_n have_v be_v visible_a from_o the_o apostle_n day_n and_o beside_o the_o church_n be_v posterior_n to_o the_o ministry_n for_o by_o true_a preacher_n and_o minister_n people_n come_v to_o be_v convert_v and_o so_o to_o be_v make_v fit_a member_n of_o a_o church_n and_o therefore_o the_o minister_n by_o who_o their_o church_n be_v first_o raise_v or_o gather_v can_v have_v their_o call_n from_o the_o same_o for_o that_o be_v to_o put_v the_o effect_n before_o the_o cause_n or_o to_o say_v the_o church_n call_v the_o minister_n and_o the_o minister_n call_v the_o church_n be_v to_o run_v into_o a_o circle_n as_o to_o say_v the_o egg_n bring_v forth_o the_o hen_n and_o the_o hen_n bring_v for_o the_o egg_n to_o wit_n first_o of_o all_o which_o be_v impossible_a 10._o and_o as_o concern_v true_a gospel-maintenance_n to_o the_o ministry_n any_o maintenance_n that_o may_v be_v necessary_a to_o any_o that_o be_v poor_a and_o
