Persons sent and therein first of the Ite then the Ergo. The Persons sent by Christ are ye the cause why they must assent to be sent lieth hid in this therefore Well the Sender being Christ the Messengers being sent and these Apostolick Ministers first they receive Order and then they go but not before for not authorized Mark and minde it Without Christ bid go he is an Intruder into Christ his Harvest hat undertakes his labour to Preach Baptize None must dare to go but such is have a calling for it while Christ was on earth it was a sufficient warrant ego mitto Matth. 10.16 or Ite go ye as here As out of his cloathes so out of his mouth passed vertue to fit and furnish those he called to go But what were they to go and do Read my Text To teach and baptize Mat. 18. to binde to loose John 20. to remit and retain sins yet more saith S. Paul 2 Cor. 5.18 God hath given unto us the Ministery of Reconciliation which stands in the dispensation of the Word and Sacraments But as none have these high priviledges till called by Christ to this high Office the Ministery so it plainly appears this was not a personal Legacy onely given to the then Apostles but Church Legacy legated to the Successors of those Disciples of Christ Jesus for I must tell you there were not onely Apostles but some Prophets some Evangelists some Pastors some Teachers which were to joyn in the work of the Ministery for the gathering of the Saints Ephes 4.11 12. And as Christ ordained his twelve they the seventy so we being ordained by their Successours our Bishops our Ordination is acknowledged valid while with holy Prayers holy Imposition of hands is laid upon us as was upon Timothy by Paul 2 Tim. 1.6 Again since all Nations were to be taught and baptized and the commissionated could not by themselves do what commanded many ages succeeding after their departure out of this life and since all Saints to be born in all Centuries were to be gathered by the work of the Ministery hence necessarily it follows some debitated were to make Imposition of Hands upon some adjudged by the Church sufficient for so high a calling And as some few among many thousands in the Apostles dayes were onely thought sufficient to be cull'd out by Ordination to this high calling so since the Apostles deceased their supervivers or succcessors in office have trod in their steps chusing some to be admitted-into the Holy Office not daring promiscuously to lay hands upon all as do those Hereticks the Anabaptists And to make it more manifest how it is a Catholick and Fundamental Doctrine Imposition of Hands and that not upon all but onely such approved by Power Episcopal the Christian Church a most horrid sin suffered No never but in a distracted Common-wealth or a Kingdom God meant to ruine Portenta dira these are sad presages O ye presumptuous spirits who despise all Government and Order of God in his Church remember to your everlasting horror Nadab and Abihu and Uzza and their fearful ends for the like sins You who will ire praedicare know you have gone but the Lord sent you not you have preached but the Lord spoke not by you If you will yet take upon you the Ite know my Lord hath given me command to divorce from your ite praedicate and to joyn together to your eternal terror Ite maledicti If you have not so much learning as to know my meaning how dare you lay hands on these high Mysteries the Word and Sacraments After the ite in cometh the ergo therefore as much as if Christ had said since I have all Power in Heaven and Earth you who be but earth must obey me the God of Heaven you cannot have a greater to command then I nor I finde weaker to withstand then you Ite igitur Go ye therefore There is no resistance Ion as may be shipt for Tarshish but he who bid go to Nineve will finde him out unship him and make a Whale ferry him to the place he had his first commission for ite igitur go ye therefore Note it the power God hath over us must overawe us and prick us forward to go about the work of the Lord Ite igitur Go ye therefore Again Christ hath power to inspire us with his spirit Moses is a man of a stammering tongue the Apostles ignorant what to answer remember what is said to the commissionated in the same hour it shall be given unto you for God commonly furnishes them with gifts who are lawfully ordained Here is magna potentia Gods great power made manifest in weak contemptible Instruments Since it is thus Ite igitur go ye therefore Again our God our Christ hath power to defend us Thus Elias when an Army sent to attach him and an Host of Angels sent to relieve him thus Daniel in the Den the three in the Furnace and the Preacher Noe in the Ark when the whole world except eight persons where drowned Who so have Gods Commission to go and teach and baptize I mean to be Ministers of the Gospel let them not fear the arm of man God can preserve Ite igitur go ye therefore And the rather for that our Lord and blessed Saviour hath power to reward call to minde what is said and by that Minister of the Gentiles Henceforth is laid up for me a Crown of immortall glory What though we have been in perils by land in perils by water in perils amongst false Brethren yet our reward is laid up in heaven a prize so good and a place so secure so that none can deprive us of it Here for preaching the true Doctrine of Christ Jesus and severing the tares from the wheat Heresies from Gospel Truths perchance we may suffer Imprisonment confiscation of our Livings it may come ad sanguinem to loss of life But that come ye children of my Father receive the Kingdom tha● venite commands this ite fince but this world to be lost heaven to be had and ensured at our end ite igitur go ye therefore And now to give you the Collect of all since we Teachers shall have our reward in the world to come since here if God think meet he can defend us from the violence of unruly men since he can fit us for this high calling the work of the Ministery and since to resist is to resist the power of God Ite igitur praedicate Go ye therefore and teach all Nations baptizing them in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost The act licensed is to teach The extent extends to all Nations go teach all Nations What and how must be thought of teach them verbum Christum verbum Christi Teach the word Christ for so he is stiled Iohn 1.1 It was Pauls religious ambition to know nothing but Christ and him crucfied saith he I count all as dung to
