A45157	A second discourse about re-ordination being an answer to two or three books come out against this subject, in behalf of the many concern'd at this season, who for the sake of their ministry, and upon necessity, do yield to it, in defence of their submission / by John Humfrey, min. ; together, with his testimony, which from the good hand of the Lord, is laid upon himself, to bear, in this generation, against the evil, and to prevent, or repress (as much as by him may be possible) the danger, of the imposition.	Humfrey, John, 1621-1719.	1662 (1662)	Wing H3709; ESTC R9881	127,714	152

true_o one_o may_v think_v at_o the_o first_o sight_n it_o be_v the_o first_o be_v ready_a to_o read_v the_o sense_n thus_o have_v gift_n whether_o pprophecy_n or_o ministry_n etc._n etc._n make_v those_o latter_a word_n which_o import_n office_n refer_v to_o gift_n but_o when_o we_o look_v better_o we_o shall_v find_v otherwise_o and_o must_v read_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o word_n as_o in_o their_o own_o order_n they_o lie_v to_o wit_n according_a to_o the_o grace_n give_v to_o we_o whether_o prophecy_n or_o ministry_n etc._n etc._n and_o so_o these_o latter_a word_n refer_v indeed_o to_o the_o word_n grace_n which_o be_v the_o truth_n that_o this_o may_v appear_v let_v we_o know_v that_o grace_n property_n be_v god_n favour_n in_o general_n and_o the_o word_n therefore_o be_v put_v in_o scripture_n usual_o for_o several_a effect_n of_o it_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o reconciliation_n be_v one_o effect_n of_o his_o favour_n and_o that_o be_v call_v grace_n the_o internal_a habit_n infuse_v faith_n repentance_n love_n etc._n etc._n be_v effect_n of_o his_o favour_n and_o they_o be_v call_v grace_n the_o gospel_n be_v a_o effect_n of_o his_o favour_n and_o that_o be_v call_v grace_n the_o grace_n of_o god_n that_o bring_v salvation_n to_o all_o man_n so_o likewise_o be_v the_o put_v a_o person_n into_o that_o dignity_n to_o be_v one_o of_o his_o ministry_n a_o effect_n of_o his_o favour_n and_o very_o great_a favour_n if_o we_o can_v prize_v and_o use_v it_o right_n and_o therefore_o the_o office_n and_o authority_n of_o our_o ministry_n be_v call_v grace_n also_o and_o so_o it_o be_v call_v grace_n in_o the_o text._n i_o know_v not_o indeed_o of_o any_o that_o have_v say_v this_o before_o i_o but_o i_o be_o confident_a i_o be_o in_o the_o right_n as_o my_o eye_n see_v when_o the_o sun_n shine_v we_o will_v compare_v it_o with_o one_o or_o two_o text_n elsewhere_o and_o no_o man_n shall_v be_v able_a to_o deny_v it_o see_v rom._n 15.15_o 16._o i_o put_v you_o in_o mind_n because_o of_o the_o grace_n which_o be_v give_v to_o i_o of_o god_n that_o i_o shall_v be_v a_o minister_n etc._n etc._n so_o gal._n 1.15_o 16._o with_o

himself_o more_o high_o than_o he_o ought_v what_o be_v that_o grace_n there_o but_o according_a to_o the_o authority_n i_o have_v as_o a_o minister_n to_o rebuke_v and_o admonish_v such_o and_o when_o we_o be_v come_v so_o nigh_o no_o wonder_n if_o at_o the_o next_o breath_n as_o it_o be_v the_o apostle_n use_v the_o word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d in_o the_o same_o sense_n and_o

on_o teach_v etc._n etc._n i_o conclude_v this_o grand_a objection_n with_o a_o double_a note_n that_o i_o may_v be_v sure_a to_o run_v it_o quite_o through_o while_o i_o have_v it_o under_o my_o

which_o as_o god_n require_v of_o they_o lest_o unworthy_a person_n shall_v pretend_v his_o call_n and_o intrude_v so_o do_v he_o of_o we_o if_o any_o of_o we_o have_v indeed_o his_o call_n both_o for_o the_o benefit_n or_o blessing_n of_o those_o public_a prayer_n which_o we_o do_v humble_o expect_v as_o one_o express_a end_n of_o this_o rite_n and_o also_o for_o the_o procure_v we_o our_o
