of_o the_o gospel_n to_o make_v good_a this_o assertion_n i_o will_v give_v three_o ground_n i._o ministerial_a gift_n and_o save_v grace_n be_v thing_n distinct_a in_o themselves_o and_o separable_a in_o the_o subject_n ii_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v ordain_v by_o christ_n principal_o for_o the_o good_a of_o other_o iii_o the_o testimony_n of_o eminent_a divine_n in_o the_o case_n first_o ground_n grace_n be_v not_o essential_a to_o a_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n because_o ministerial_a gift_n and_o save_v grace_n be_v thing_n distinct_a in_o themselves_o and_o separable_a each_o from_o other_o in_o the_o subject_n here_o i_o will_v first_o clear_v three_o thing_n scil_n 1._o what_o these_o ministerial_a gift_n be_v 2._o that_o they_o qualify_v man_n for_o the_o work_n of_o the_o ministry_n 3._o that_o god_n be_v the_o author_n and_o donor_n of_o these_o gift_n to_o that_o end_n and_o afterward_o i_o will_v show_v the_o distinction_n and_o separability_n of_o gift_n and_o save_v grace_n first_o what_o these_o ministerial_a gift_n be_v which_o dispose_v man_n for_o that_o work_n and_o be_v adequate_a to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o ministry_n now_o these_o be_v the_o ordinary_a 1._o gift_n of_o common_a illumination_n 93._o of_o common_a illumination_n and_o the_o effect_n thereof_o see_v pemble_n work_n pag._n 60._o and_o dickson_n on_o the_o hebr._n 6.4_o 5_o 9_o pag._n 93._o and_o knowledge_n of_o religion_n and_o the_o matter_n thereof_o which_o be_v attainable_a either_o by_o inward_a sense_n and_o experience_n or_o by_o intellectual_a speculation_n and_o though_o both_o these_o do_v more_o exact_o accomplish_v a_o man_n for_o the_o ministry_n yet_o the_o latter_a only_o may_v in_o some_o case_n suffice_v especial_o consider_v that_o experience_n can_v assure_v we_o of_o nothing_o that_o i_o be_o to_o press_v upon_o other_o which_o scripture_n also_o do_v not_o suggest_v and_o confirm_v 2._o the_o gift_n of_o preach_v prophecy_n or_o interpretation_n of_o the_o scripture_n of_o open_v or_o unfolding_n and_o apply_v the_o same_o 3._o the_o gift_n of_o utterance_n and_o of_o prayer_n 4._o the_o gift_n of_o art_n and_o tongue_n which_o be_v useful_a as_o handmaid_n to_o divinity_n and_o to_o the_o ministry_n 5._o the_o gift_n of_o argumentation_n or_o reason_v to_o confirm_v or_o defend_v the_o truth_n to_o confute_v error_n and_o convince_v gainsayer_n etc._n etc._n the_o second_o be_v that_o these_o ministerial_a ability_n do_v qualify_v man_n for_o the_o work_n of_o the_o ministry_n as_o they_o make_v they_o suitable_a and_o competent_a thereunto_o and_o fit_v they_o to_o perform_v their_o office_n and_o the_o several_a act_n thereof_o by_o gift_n as_o to_o pray_v by_o a_o gift_n of_o prayer_n to_o preach_v by_o a_o gift_n of_o preach_v and_o to_o dispute_v by_o a_o gift_n or_o faculty_n of_o disputation_n and_o not_o to_o preach_v other_o man_n sermon_n or_o say_v other_o man_n prayer_n only_o hence_o a_o man_n endow_v with_o good_a part_n natural_a and_o acquire_v by_o diligent_a read_n study_n discourse_n and_o prayer_n to_o god_n for_o illumination_n direction_n assistance_n etc._n etc._n 1._o may_v attain_v to_o a_o large_a clear_a distinct_a knowledge_n of_o religion_n and_o the_o several_a principle_n and_o point_n of_o it_o 2._o may_v be_v able_a to_o teach_v the_o same_o plain_o sound_o and_o profitable_o to_o other_o to_o instruct_v convince_v reprove_v confirm_v and_o comfort_v other_o 3._o may_v be_v through_o god_n blessing_n instrumental_a for_o the_o good_a of_o other_o for_o edify_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n for_o build_v up_o in_o knowledge_n faith_n holiness_n and_o obedience_n for_o carry_v on_o the_o work_n of_o the_o lord_n promote_a reformation_n and_o further_a the_o salvation_n of_o other_o and_o for_o information_n of_o some_o who_o have_v grace_n real_o of_o some_o thing_n they_o know_v not_o before_o and_o for_o resolution_n of_o some_o doubt_n and_o scruple_n 4._o may_v be_v useful_a in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n to_o defend_v and_o maintain_v the_o christian_a religion_n and_o all_o the_o point_n of_o it_o especial_o controversal_a against_o the_o adversary_n of_o the_o truth_n and_o grace_n of_o god_n as_o papist_n arminian_o socinian_o and_o other_o that_o be_v heterodox_n which_o some_o man_n of_o great_a learning_n part_n and_o study_n but_o it_o be_v questionable_a by_o their_o life_n and_o way_n whether_o they_o have_v true_a save_a grace_n have_v do_v more_o sound_o and_o strenuous_o even_o to_o the_o convince_a of_o gainsayer_n and_o to_o the_o silence_v or_o stop_v the_o mouth_n of_o adversary_n then_o many_o who_o have_v true_a grace_n but_o want_v such_o gift_n be_v able_a to_o do_v probatum_fw-la est_fw-la for_o there_o be_v many_o real_a christian_n who_o have_v good_a experience_n of_o the_o practical_a part_n of_o religion_n yet_o want_v ability_n for_o the_o controversal_a part_n or_o defence_n of_o the_o truth_n against_o the_o oppugner_n of_o it_o hence_o also_o i_o infer_v that_o datur_fw-la medium_fw-la or_o there_o be_v a_o mean_a between_o a_o minister_n preach_v from_o experience_n of_o the_o new_a birth_n or_o work_v of_o grace_n etc._n etc._n in_o his_o own_o soul_n which_o be_v indeed_o the_o most_o comfortable_a and_o effectual_a and_o a_o minister_n take_v a_o sermon_n out_o
