after_o as_o believer_n receive_v the_o spirit_n so_o they_o become_v minister_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n as_o we_o see_v in_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o in_o the_o first_o 300._o year_n after_o christ_n for_o there_o be_v but_o one_o only_a ministry_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n which_o be_v common_a to_o all_o man_n alike_o who_o have_v receive_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o to_o none_o else_o though_o never_o so_o excellent_o qualify_v with_o natural_a ability_n and_o humane_a learning_n for_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v altogether_o invisible_a thing_n and_o spirit_n the_o thing_n of_o the_o gospel_n can_v be_v know_v but_o by_o the_o teach_n of_o the_o spirit_n can_v be_v know_v but_o by_o the_o teach_n of_o the_o spirit_n though_o a_o man_n have_v all_o the_o wisdom_n and_o knowledge_n in_o the_o world_n as_o paul_n declare_v 1_o cor._n 2._o ver_fw-la 8_o 9_o 10._o eye_n have_v not_o see_v nor_o ear_n hear_v nor_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n understand_v the_o thing_n which_o god_n have_v prepare_v for_o they_o that_o love_v he_o but_o god_n have_v reveal_v they_o to_o we_o believer_n by_o the_o spirit_n for_o the_o spirit_n search_v all_o thing_n yea_o the_o deep_a thing_n of_o god_n for_o what_o man_n know_v the_o thing_n of_o a_o man_n but_o the_o spirit_n of_o a_o man_n that_o be_v in_o he_o even_o so_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n know_v no_o man_n but_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n now_o we_o have_v receive_v not_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o world_n which_o for_o its_o high_a perfection_n have_v only_o humane_a wisdom_n and_o knowledge_n but_o the_o spirit_n which_o be_v of_o god_n that_o we_o may_v know_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v free_o give_v to_o we_o of_o god_n where_o we_o learn_v that_o the_o thing_n of_o

nothing_o of_o man_n or_o the_o creature_n can_v add_v to_o it_o wherefore_o when_o christ_n choose_v his_o minister_n according_a to_o his_o father_n council_n he_o choose_v not_o the_o wise_a and_o

any_o addition_n of_o any_o thing_n else_o for_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o christ_n upon_o the_o serious_a consideration_n of_o this_o strange_a choice_n of_o god_n by_o he_o
