a_o person_n for_o the_o office_n of_o advocation_n be_v the_o same_o thing_n which_o i_o mean_v by_o this_o first_o sanctification_n god_n do_v it_o and_o give_v he_o a_o power_n and_o authority_n to_o go_v to_o he_o and_o put_v he_o into_o a_o place_n of_o trust_n and_o favour_n about_o he_o and_o make_v he_o a_o minister_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n which_o be_v a_o power_n and_o eminency_n above_o the_o person_n for_o who_o he_o be_v to_o sacrifice_v and_o a_o power_n or_o grace_n from_o god_n to_o be_v in_o nearness_n to_o he_o this_o i_o suppose_v to_o be_v the_o great_a argument_n for_o the_o necessity_n of_o separate_v a_o certain_a order_n of_o man_n for_o ecclesiastical_a ministery_n and_o it_o rely_v upon_o these_o proposition_n 1._o all_o power_n of_o ordination_n descend_v from_o god_n and_o he_o it_o be_v who_o sanctify_v and_o separate_v the_o person_n 2._o the_o priest_n by_o god_n be_v separate_v to_o be_v the_o gracious_a person_n to_o stand_v between_o he_o and_o the_o people_n 3._o he_o speak_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o return_v the_o prayer_n and_o duty_n of_o the_o people_n and_o reconveye_v the_o blessing_n of_o god_n by_o his_o prayer_n and_o by_o his_o ministry_n so_o that_o although_o every_o christian_a must_v pray_v and_o may_v be_v hear_v yet_o there_o be_v a_o solemn_a person_n appoint_v to_o pray_v in_o public_a and_o though_o god_n spirit_n be_v give_v to_o all_o that_o ask_v it_o and_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v verify_v to_o all_o that_o obey_v the_o gospel_n of_o jesus_n yet_o god_n have_v appoint_v sacrament_n and_o solemnity_n by_o which_o the_o promise_n and_o blessing_n be_v minister_v more_o solemn_o and_o to_o great_a effect_n all_o the_o ordinary_a devotion_n the_o people_n may_v do_v alone_o the_o solemn_a ritual_a and_o public_a the_o appoint_a minister_n only_o must_v do_v and_o if_o any_o man_n shall_v say_v because_o the_o priest_n ministry_n be_v by_o prayer_n every_o man_n can_v do_v it_o and_o so_o no_o need_n of_o he_o by_o the_o same_o reason_n he_o may_v say_v also_o that_o the_o sacrament_n be_v unnecessary_a because_o the_o same_o effect_n which_o they_o produce_v be_v also_o in_o some_o degree_n the_o reward_n of_o a_o private_a piety_n and_o devotion_n but_o the_o particular_n be_v to_o be_v further_o prove_v and_o explicate_v as_o they_o need_v now_o what_o for_o illustration_n of_o this_o article_n i_o have_v bring_v from_o the_o instance_n of_o job_n be_v true_a in_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n with_o the_o superaddition_n 3._o of_o many_o
