spirit_n of_o those_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n who_o they_o have_v find_v by_o experience_n to_o be_v true_a and_o faithful_a servant_n of_o god_n as_o it_o be_v evident_a from_o 1_o john_n 4._o

you_o receive_v the_o word_n of_o god_n preach_v by_o we_o you_o receive_v it_o not_o as_o the_o word_n of_o man_n but_o as_o it_o be_v indeed_o the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o also_o effectual_o

be_v no_o reason_n that_o the_o faithful_a of_o that_o age_n shall_v have_v any_o sinister_a suspicion_n of_o such_o minister_n until_o by_o contrary_a proof_n of_o evil_a life_n and_o doctrine_n they_o have_v render_v themselves_o unworthy_a to_o be_v account_v lawful_a minister_n of_o god_n which_o if_o they_o do_v it_o can_v easy_o be_v discover_v by_o the_o faithful_a of_o that_o age_n as_o we_o have_v already_o show_v in_o the_o thirteen_o article_n 16._o but_o though_o some_o particular_a minister_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o apostle_n do_v indeed_o revolt_v from_o the_o word_n of_o the_o gospel_n yet_o do_v they_o not_o present_o forfeit_v their_o ministry_n because_o as_o they_o may_v revolt_v so_o they_o may_v repent_v and_o return_v again_o into_o the_o right_a way_n
