be_v a_o office_n appoint_v of_o god_n and_o that_o ordination_n for_o execute_v that_o office_n be_v a_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n our_o three_o conclusion_n will_v natural_o follow_v viz._n that_o no_o man_n uncalled_a and_o unordained_a can_n with_o good_a conscience_n intrude_v upon_o that_o work_n and_o office_n this_o position_n or_o conclusion_n be_v prove_v by_o two_o place_n especial_o remarkable_a for_o this_o purpose_n the_o first_o be_v that_o of_o zach._n 83.3_o 4_o 5._o and_o it_o shall_v come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o prophet_n shall_v be_v ashamed_a every_o one_o of_o his_o vision_n when_o he_o have_v prophesy_v neither_o shall_v they_o wear_v a_o rough_a garment_n to_o deceiv_v but_o he_o shall_v say_v i_o be_o no_o prophet_n i_o be_o a_o husbandman_n for_o man_n teach_v i_o to_o keep_v cattle_n from_o my_o youth_n 1._o this_o place_n be_v a_o plain_a prophecy_n of_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n wherein_o many_o blessing_n be_v promise_v when_o the_o messiah_n be_v come_v vers_fw-la 1.2_o concl._n 3_o 2._o the_o word_n vers_fw-la 4.5_o be_v word_n of_o recantation_n and_o repentance_n of_o some_o that_o pretend_v the_o spirit_n and_o take_v upon_o they_o the_o office_n of_o prophesy_v when_o as_o they_o be_v not_o prophet_n but_o husbandman_n or_o breed_v up_o to_o some_o other_o trade_n 3._o the_o mean_n by_o which_o this_o kind_n of_o teacher_n be_v bring_v to_o shame_n and_o repentance_n be_v the_o zeal_n of_o the_o christian_a magistrate_n upon_o complaint_n make_v to_o he_o of_o their_o do_n by_o their_o dear_a friend_n vers_fw-la 3._o and_o it_o shall_v come_v to_o pass_v that_o when_o any_o shall_v yet_o prophecy_n i.e._n notwithstanding_o all_o spiritual_a mean_n use_v to_o clean_n the_o land_n of_o seduce_a spirit_n and_o teacher_n of_o false_a doctrine_n vers_fw-la 2._o if_o for_o all_o this_o they_o shall_v prophesy_v than_o his_o father_n and_o his_o mother_n which_o beget_v he_o shall_v say_v unto_o he_o thou_o shall_v not_o live_v etc._n etc._n the_o meaning_n be_v this_o that_o as_o in_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n deut._n 13.5_o 8._o he_o that_o pretend_v himself_o a_o prophet_n and_o be_v none_o be_v to_o be_v punish_v by_o the_o magistrate_n such_o a_o like_a zeal_n shall_v be_v use_v against_o false_a prophet_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n their_o best_a friend_n endue_v with_o knowledge_n and_o discern_a shall_v oppose_v they_o prefer_v their_o zeal_n and_o piety_n towards_o god_n before_o the_o natural_a affection_n they_o bear_v towards_o their_o own_o child_n and_o there_o be_v reason_n as_o mr_n borough_n think_v why_o their_o best_a friend_n shall_v withstand_v they_o in_o this_o way_n 1._o because_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n abhor_v to_o nature_n 19.23.24_o heart-division_n p._n 19.23.24_o that_o man_n shall_v suffer_v god_n who_o they_o honour_v to_o be_v blaspheme_v 2._o to_o see_v their_o wife_n and_o child_n and_o dear_a friend_n to_o be_v seduce_v into_o way_n which_o we_o think_v will_v undo_v their_o soul_n to_o eternity_n and_o not_o be_v able_a to_o help_v they_o nor_o our_o selus_fw-la unless_o we_o can_v persuade_v the_o seducer_n to_o desist_v and_o ask_v they_o why_o they_o do_v so_o and_o entreat_v they_o to_o forbear_v therefore_o these_o must_v come_v under_o the_o magistrate_n restrain_v power_n 4._o then_o follow_v we_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o magistrate_n deal_v with_o they_o viz._n their_o shame_n and_o repentance_n they_o shall_v disclaim_v their_o usurp_a profession_n and_o confess_v that_o they_o be_v never_o bring_v up_o nor_o fit_v for_o it_o and_o so_o return_v to_o their_o former_a course_n and_o trade_n of_o live_v this_o scripture_n be_v fulfil_v in_o one_o part_n by_o the_o rise_n of_o false_a teacher_n in_o our_o day_n and_o if_o it_o be_v not_o fulfil_v in_o the_o other_o part_n viz._n in_o their_o repentance_n one_o principal_a cause_n thereof_o be_v because_o our_o magistrate_n be_v so_o far_o from_o put_v they_o to_o shame_n that_o they_o rather_o uphold_v they_o have_v enfranchise_v every_o sect_n to_o hold_v assembly_n to_o preach_v who_o will_v yea_o to_o the_o disadvantage_n of_o christ_n gospel_n have_v suffer_v his_o minister_n to_o be_v vilify_v &_o reproach_v even_o in_o almanac_n and_o to_o be_v make_v the_o scorn_n and_o derision_n of_o the_o rage_a wave_n of_o the_o sea_n and_o mock_v spirit_n of_o which_o s._n judas_n complain_v v._o 13.18_o i_o pray_v god_n this_o be_v not_o lay_v to_o their_o charge_n conclus_fw-la 3_o our_o second_o place_n

like_a leveller_n they_o say_v to_o moses_n and_o aaron_n wherefore_o lift_v you_o up_o your_o selus_fw-la above_o the_o congregation_n of_o the_o lord_n ver_fw-la 3._o and_o when_o they_o be_v

how_o korah_n do_v endeavour_v to_o make_v common_a the_o office_n of_o the_o priesthood_n and_o why_o because_o say_v he_o all_o the_o congregation_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v holy_a vers_fw-la 3._o all_o have_v the_o gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n as_o if_o god_n ordinary_a gift_n of_o sanctification_n do_v take_v away_o distinction_n of_o calling_n and_o office_n but_o what_o say_v moses_n to_o
