they_o for_o a_o more_o gainful_a trade_n so_o that_o here_o their_o education_n be_v not_o to_o the_o true_a ministry_n but_o to_o a_o trade_n but_o timothy_n and_o titus_n and_o the_o elder_n in_o the_o true_a church_n on_o who_o the_o apostle_n lay_v hand_n do_v not_o make_v a_o trade_n on_o their_o ministry_n nor_o on_o the_o scripture_n though_o they_o know_v the_o scripture_n and_o do_v

oxford_n or_o cambridge_n it_o do_v but_o purchase_v they_o a_o trade_n and_o that_o a_o deceitful_a one_o too_o it_o can_v purchase_v the_o holy_a ghost_n nor_o the_o gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n which_o bishop_n elder_n and_o deacon_n in_o the_o true_a church_n be_v endue_v and_o fit_v with_o but_o not_o make_v minister_n at_o school_n nor_o by_o the_o will_n of_o man_n as_o the_o priest_n be_v now_o three_o neither_o be_v they_o in_o godliness_n nor_o qualify_v as_o a_o true_a bishop_n or_o a_o deacon_n or_o elder_n see_v that_o the_o priest_n in_o england_n be_v covetous_a greedy_a of_o filthy_a lucre_n and_o many_o of_o they_o give_v to_o wine_n and_o envious_a man_n and_o brawler_n and_o novice_n as_o many_o in_o this_o nation_n can_v witness_v but_o the_o true_a elder_n be_v not_o such_o and_o the_o man_n of_o god_n be_v to_o flee_v from_o the_o desire_n of_o money_n and_o they_o that_o go_v in_o the_o error_n of_o balaam_n for_o reward_n and_o in_o the_o way_n of_o

priest_n be_v ignorant_a of_o revelation_n immediate_a teach_n from_o god_n and_o be_v out_o of_o the_o true_a knowledge_n utterance_n and_o godliness_n so_o stranger_n to_o the_o heavenly_a gift_n they_o be_v not_o fit_a to_o teach_v but_o be_v deceiver_n shut_v out_o from_o among_o the_o number_n of_o the_o true_a elder_n of_o christ_n for_o the_o ungodly_a shall_v not_o be_v number_v with_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o righteous_a but_o we_o look_v at_o the_o life_n and_o gift_n of_o god_n which_o qualify_v and_o bring_v into_o the_o state_n and_o condition_n that_o the_o true_a elder_n bishop_n and_o deacon_n be_v in_o more_o than_o their_o name_n see_v that_o they_o can_v not_o have_v these_o name_n nor_o be_v ordain_v for_o their_o office_n by_o the_o apostle_n till_o they_o be_v first_o fit_v and_o try_v in_o the_o truth_n and_o by_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n which_o be_v in_o the_o apostle_n and_o elder_n of_o the_o true_a church_n who_o deny_v not_o revelation_n and_o

for_o it_o be_v the_o man_n of_o god_n that_o the_o scripture_n be_v profitable_a for_o the_o furnish_n of_o and_o for_o our_o learning_n they_o be_v write_v who_o walk_v not_o after_o the_o flesh_n
