5_o the_o principal_a and_o chief_a end_n therefore_o of_o the_o holy_a ministry_n in_o respect_n of_o salvation_n be_v always_o one_o namely_o the_o lay_v open_a of_o god_n goodness_n touch_v the_o salvation_n of_o man_n by_o mean_n of_o the_o free_a covenant_n make_v in_o christ_n only_o who_o both_o before_o and_o under_o the_o rudiment_n of_o the_o law_n be_v shadow_v and_o manifest_v in_o deed_n in_o the_o fullness_n of_o time_n 6_o yet_o of_o this_o holy_a ministry_n both_o before_o and_o under_o the_o law_n there_o be_v three_o general_a part_n namely_o to_o teach_v to_o sacrifice_v to_o bless_v as_o may_v be_v show_v by_o many_o testimony_n of_o the_o scripture_n under_o the_o name_n of_o sacrifice_n we_o understand_v all_o sort_n of_o rite_n as_o under_o the_o name_n of_o blessing_n we_o contain_v public_a prayer_n 7_o of_o the_o holy_a doctrine_n there_o have_v be_v two_o kind_n namely_o the_o law_n denounce_v judgement_n and_o death_n &_o the_o gospel_n offer_v life_n free_o give_v unto_o the_o repentant_a 8_o yet_o be_v it_o not_o proper_o the_o law_n but_o the_o transgression_n thereof_o that_o do_v kill_v 9_o the_o legal_a ceremony_n be_v certain_a appurtenance_n both_o of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n wherein_o as_o in_o a_o glass_n be_v to_o be_v see_v though_o in_o a_o contrary_a regard_n both_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n and_o also_o the_o blessing_n of_o the_o gospel_n 11_o the_o ministry_n of_o moses_n notwithstanding_o compare_v with_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v for_o three_o cause_n call_v the_o ministry_n of_o death_n the_o one_o because_o that_o the_o law_n write_v be_v give_v by_o moses_n whereby_o death_n be_v more_o manifest_o lay_v before_o the_o eye_n of_o sinner_n than_o ever_o before_o 12_o the_o other_o because_o moses_n do_v labour_n much_o more_o in_o set_v down_o the_o law_n then_o in_o open_v the_o promise_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o man_n may_v learn_v by_o the_o terror_n thereof_o to_o frame_v then-selue_n unto_o the_o receive_n of_o perfect_a thing_n that_o be_v to_o be_v manifest_v at_o the_o time_n appoint_v and_o not_o place_v the_o hope_n of_o salvation_n in_o these_o rite_n three_o because_o the_o law_n indeed_o do_v point_n out_o the_o disease_n that_o bring_v death_n but_o do_v not_o heal_v it_o yea_o rather_o increase_v the_o same_o through_o our_o fault_n in_o that_o it_o require_v of_o we_o the_o execution_n of_o the_o commandment_n and_o give_v we_o not_o ability_n to_o perform_v they_o 12_o but_o in_o the_o gospel_n the_o picture_n whereof_o in_o a_o sort_n be_v that_o external_a worship_n of_o the_o law_n god_n give_v by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n the_o ability_n to_o perform_v the_o promise_n of_o the_o same_o that_o be_v the_o power_n to_o repent_v and_o believe_v and_o therefore_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v call_v the_o spirit_n ingraff_v in_o our_o heart_n but_o the_o law_n be_v term_v the_o dead_a letter_n that_o be_v a_o dead_a writing_n engrave_v in_o table_n of_o stone_n 13_o wherefore_o the_o ministry_n not_o only_o of_o the_o old_a but_o also_o of_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v ordain_v not_o by_o man_n but_o by_o the_o lord_n who_o both_o instruct_v and_o also_o call_v both_o the_o patriarch_n and_o also_o moses_n &_o aaron_n to_o exercise_v the_o same_o and_o afterward_o declare_v to_o moses_n the_o rule_n and_o the_o form_n thereof_o as_o he_o will_v have_v it_o execute_v among_o his_o people_n whereunto_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a to_o add_v or_o to_o detract_v any_o thing_n 14_o and_o because_o the_o lord_n foresee_v the_o negligence_n and_o the_o wickedness_n of_o the_o priest_n he_o do_v therefore_o ordain_v in_o the_o ancient_a church_n both_o before_o and_o under_o the_o law_n not_o only_o a_o ordinary_a which_o under_o the_o law_n be_v especial_o assign_v unto_o the_o tribe_n of_o levy_n but_o also_o a_o extraordinary_a that_o be_v a_o prophetical_a ministry_n unto_o who_o the_o priest_n and_o king_n themselves_o be_v to_o yield_v obedience_n and_o who_o office_n be_v to_o teach_v the_o whole_a people_n partly_o by_o a_o more_o exquisite_a exposition_n of_o the_o law_n and_o partly_o by_o terrifi_v the_o disobedient_a by_o fearful_a revelationes_fw-la of_o god_n judgement_n and_o comfort_v the_o godly_a by_o most_o love_a promise_n 15_o their_o ministry_n be_v extraordinary_a for_o although_o there_o be_v certain_a college_n of_o prophet_n when_o and_o as_o often_o as_o it_o please_v god_n yet_o be_v they_o not_o appoint_v by_o man_n neither_o do_v they_o lean_v upon_o any_o ordinary_a call_n brief_o god_n do_v inspire_v with_o his_o spirit_n who_o it_o please_v he_o respect_v therein_o neither_o sex_n nor_o calling_n 16_o both_o these_o ministery_n do_v the_o lord_n promise_v unto_o his_o people_n by_o moses_n and_o withal_o show_v how_o false_a prophet_n who_o the_o people_n be_v to_o take_v heed_n of_o may_v be_v discern_v from_o the_o true_a who_o they_o be_v to_o hear_v 17_o the_o lord_n ordain_v this_o ministry_n of_o man_n not_o that_o he_o be_v compel_v thereto_o by_o any_o necessity_n but_o that_o thereby_o he_o regard_v man_n infirmity_n 18_o yet_o he_o never_o use_v it_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o he_o will_v give_v his_o own_o glory_n thereunto_o that_o be_v the_o authority_n to_o perform_v those_o thing_n which_o the_o divine_a power_n alone_o bring_v to_o pass_v but_o he_o effect_v external_a thing_n only_o by_o his_o ministry_n perform_v those_o thing_n by_o his_o own_o inward_a power_n alone_o which_o be_v declare_v unto_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o hearer_n by_o the_o outward_a ministry_n of_o man_n 19_o therefore_o he_o perform_v what_o he_o thinkeh_o good_a inwardlie_a in_o the_o understanding_n and_o will_v of_o man_n when_o and_o as_o often_o as_o it_o please_v he_o even_o without_o the_o external_a ministry_n but_o he_o who_o ever_o neglect_v the_o ordinary_a ministry_n or_o by_o unbelief_n do_v severe_a the_o inward_a force_n from_o the_o outward_a administration_n that_o man_n tempt_v god_n &_o show_v himself_o unworthy_a of_o his_o grace_n but_o as_o for_o those_o that_o any_o wise_a ascribe_v the_o proper_a work_n of_o god_n unto_o the_o ministry_n of_o man_n they_o be_v to_o be_v account_v mere_a superstitious_a and_o even_o plain_a idolator_n defend_v by_o aron_n capel_n a_o englishman_n of_o london_n principle_n touch_v the_o minister_n of_o the_o worde_n under_o the_o gospel_n lxxiii_o 1_o because_o god_n by_o mean_n of_o his_o minister_n from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n unto_o this_o day_n have_v with_o the_o word_n of_o life_n sustain_v man_n be_v fall_v the_o order_n both_o of_o time_n and_o doctrine_n require_v that_o see_v we_o have_v in_o the_o former_a principle_n speak_v of_o the_o ministry_n which_o god_n ordain_v in_o his_o church_n both_o before_o and_o after_o the_o law_n we_o now_o deal_v with_o that_o ministry_n which_o christ_n after_o the_o abolish_n of_o the_o law_n appoint_v in_o these_o last_o time_n to_o be_v in_o the_o christian_a church_n 2_o and_o to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o sum_n and_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o whole_a matter_n may_v be_v more_o clear_o set_v down_o we_o affirm_v first_o of_o all_o that_o there_o be_v three_o sort_n of_o ecclesiastical_a function_n to_o be_v gather_v out_o of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n for_o some_o do_v attend_v upon_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n of_o which_o sort_n be_v apostle_n prophet_n evangelist_n and_o at_o this_o day_n pastor_n and_o teacher_n other_o have_v the_o oversight_n of_o the_o gather_n and_o right_a distribution_n of_o the_o church_n good_n the_o three_o sort_n do_v watch_n over_o the_o manner_n of_o man_n in_o prevent_a offence_n and_o preserve_v the_o right_a government_n of_o the_o church_n 3_o christ_n therefore_o as_o the_o son_n and_o the_o sovereign_a lord_n and_o governor_n of_o his_o father_n house_n do_v not_o only_o perfect_o set_v down_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o covenant_n but_o also_o declare_v by_o what_o calling_n he_o will_v have_v his_o father_n house_n that_o be_v the_o church_n to_o be_v govern_v 4_o and_o therefore_o he_o himself_o as_o paul_n say_v give_v for_o the_o work_n of_o the_o ministry_n and_o the_o knit_n together_o of_o the_o saint_n some_o apostle_n some_o prophet_n some_o evangelist_n some_o pastor_n and_o teacher_n 5_o neither_o be_v it_o to_o be_v infer_v either_o that_o all_o these_o calling_n be_v ordain_v to_o be_v perpetual_o in_o the_o church_n or_o yet_o on_o the_o other_o side_n that_o all_o of_o they_o be_v to_o continue_v but_o only_o for_o a_o time_n 6_o now_o all_o these_o name_n as_o also_o the_o name_n of_o elder_n and_o deacon_n be_v sometime_o in_o a_o general_a signification_n attribute_v unto_o all_o those_o who_o have_v the_o ministry_n of_o
believe_v this_o 3_o we_o also_o distinguish_v this_o faith_n from_o the_o assent_n whereby_o some_o have_v peculiarlie_o apply_v some_o peculiar_a promise_n make_v unto_o themselves_o that_o be_v diverse_a from_o the_o promise_n of_o eternal_a life_n who_o notwithstanding_o be_v never_o make_v partaker_n thereof_o 4_o the_o faith_n therefore_o whereof_o we_o now_o speak_v we_o do_v define_v to_o be_v that_o assurance_n whereby_o beyond_o the_o former_a assent_n the_o godly_a be_v carry_v unto_o christ_n and_o so_o particular_o apply_v unto_o themselves_o the_o promise_n of_o salvation_n offer_v in_o he_o we_o do_v condemn_v therefore_o all_o such_o sophistry_n as_o do_v confound_v these_o two_o sort_n of_o faith_n and_o especial_o those_o who_o take_v faith_n for_o the_o obedience_n that_o be_v yield_v unto_o god_n commandment_n do_v by_o that_o mean_n mingle_v the_o one_o of_o they_o with_o the_o other_o 5_o we_o affirm_v this_o faith_n to_o be_v the_o mere_a gift_n of_o god_n peculiar_a only_o to_o the_o elect_a and_o such_o a_o gift_n as_o in_o no_o wise_a can_v be_v repent_v off_o or_o call_v back_o or_o be_v the_o most_o sure_a &_o immovable_a remedy_n unto_o the_o salvation_n of_o all_o the_o elect_a we_o detest_v therefore_o all_o those_o who_o imagine_v that_o christ_n and_o his_o save_a grace_n may_v be_v receive_v by_o any_o merit_n either_o praeparatorie_n or_o foresee_v and_o especial_o all_o these_o who_o dream_n that_o christ_n may_v be_v convey_v unto_o we_o with_o the_o hand_n or_o mouth_n of_o the_o body_n 6_o we_o deny_v also_o that_o this_o faith_n can_v ever_o utter_o be_v lose_v although_o at_o some_o time_n even_o in_o the_o most_o holy_a man_n it_o be_v a_o sleep_n as_o the_o mind_n be_v in_o those_o that_o be_v overcome_v with_o drink_n and_o notwithstanding_o that_o some_o have_v as_o it_o be_v a_o shadow_n thereof_o begin_v in_o they_o 7_o this_o faith_n do_v god_n create_v at_o what_o time_n and_o in_o what_o measure_v it_o please_v he_o strengthen_v and_o increase_v the_o same_o by_o little_a and_o little_a though_o never_o perfect_v it_o while_o we_o be_v here_o yet_o grant_v so_o much_o of_o it_o in_o this_o life_n as_o be_v needful_a for_o the_o elect_a to_o obtain_v the_o victory_n now_o in_o the_o life_n to_o come_v he_o do_v fulfil_v in_o deed_n that_o which_o we_o believe_v and_o hope_v for_o while_o we_o be_v here_o on_o earth_n we_o do_v execrate_v and_o detest_v therefore_o the_o celestinians_n and_o the_o anabaptist_n who_o dream_n of_o a_o perfection_n of_o faith_n and_o righteousness_n in_o this_o life_n and_o do_v abollish_v the_o dailye_n growth_n of_o repentance_n and_o our_o continual_a prayer_n which_o even_o unto_o our_o last_o gasp_n we_o be_v to_o make_v for_o remission_n of_o

and_o for_o that_o cause_n so_o far_o as_o it_o concern_v the_o elect_a appoint_v to_o be_v in_o the_o church_n 3_o but_o here_o two_o extremity_n be_v to_o be_v take_v heed_n unto_o the_o on_o of_o the_o enthysiastes_n who_o do_v not_o only_o distinguish_v but_o also_o separate_v the_o internal_a word_n as_o they_o call_v it_o that_o be_v the_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o our_o

they_o be_v appoint_v to_o signify_v whereas_o then_o the_o minister_n be_v say_v to_o work_v together_o with_o god_n it_o be_v so_o to_o be_v take_v as_o they_o be_v use_v but_o for_o the_o outward_a

we_o have_v speak_v of_o the_o ecclesiastical_a ministry_n be_v so_o to_o be_v take_v as_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n we_o be_v to_o know_v that_o god_n as_o often_o as_o it_o please_v he_o be_v able_a

of_o the_o good_a order_n of_o this_o sacred_a ministry_n because_o the_o lord_n do_v as_o often_o and_o as_o far_o as_o he_o think_v good_a revenge_v the_o negligencie_n and_o wickedness_n of_o the_o

the_o commonwealth_n require_v to_o be_v punish_v 11_o hence_o also_o we_o understand_v that_o when_o necessity_n so_o compel_v they_o and_o when_o they_o can_v otherwise_o defend_v the_o dominion_n commit_v unto_o their_o government_n they_o may_v lawful_o proclaim_v war_n both_o that_o they_o may_v thereby_o keep_v under_o the_o seditious_a practice_n of_o the_o unbrideled_a domestical_a

so_o christ_n be_v make_v by_o grace_n the_o root_n of_o all_o the_o saint_n pour_v the_o juice_n of_o eternal_a life_n into_o his_o member_n we_o do_v therefore_o condemn_v the_o philosopher_n who_o

thereof_o the_o which_o error_n paul_n do_v overthrow_v as_o by_o many_o argument_n so_o by_o this_o most_o clearelie_o in_o that_o infant_n themselves_o also_o be_v subject_a unto_o death_n 7_o although_o that_o all_o sin_n which_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o death_n be_v true_o remit_v unto_o the_o believer_n yet_o notwithstanding_o be_v they_o no_o less_o subject_n unto_o death_n than_o the_o

shake_v of_o this_o life_n they_o can_v never_o be_v partaker_n of_o that_o other_o life_n which_o they_o hope_v for_o 8_o and_o therefore_o we_o hold_v that_o the_o faithful_a be_v deprive_v of_o

that_o the_o unfaithful_a do_v not_o rise_v by_o virtue_n of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v always_o unto_o salvation_n and_o be_v bestow_v upon_o his_o member_n but_o by_o the_o

be_v a_o sleep_n and_o that_o they_o shall_v arise_v together_o with_o the_o body_n and_o we_o do_v also_o detest_v the_o opinion_n of_o hymeneus_n and_o philetus_n who_o do_v not_o distinguishe_v the_o spiritual_a from_o the_o corporal_a resurrection_n 12_o the_o scripture_n declare_v by_o manifest_a testimony_n that_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o faithful_a who_o die_v in_o the_o lord_n be_v
