with_o tremble_a remember_v the_o history_n of_o jeroboam_fw-la the_o king_n of_o israel_n who_o be_v the_o first_o that_o cause_v the_o jew_n to_o separate_v from_o the_o temple_n of_o solomon_n and_o he_o be_v brand_v with_o this_o note_n jeroboam_fw-la that_o make_v israel_n to_o sin_n he_o be_v the_o first_o occasion_n of_o it_o and_o he_o be_v charge_v above_o all_o for_o corrupt_v the_o worship_n of_o god_n the_o like_a we_o read_v before_o of_o gideon_n judge_n 8._o who_o think_v to_o adorn_v a_o ornament_n god_n have_v command_v his_o priest_n to_o wear_v but_o it_o be_v abomination_n unto_o the_o lord_n and_o it_o be_v the_o utter_a destruction_n of_o he_o and_o his_o house_n for_o which_o the_o lord_n record_v all_o israel_n go_v a_o whore_v after_o it_o if_o those_o man_n be_v so_o note_v that_o have_v cause_v the_o church_n to_o err_v from_o god_n law_n and_o not_o embrace_v his_o order_n he_o have_v set_v down_o but_o in_o the_o place_n of_o it_o to_o receive_v idle_a ceremony_n certain_o they_o shall_v know_v that_o god_n take_v this_o to_o remembrance_n and_o more_o to_o his_o heart_n than_o they_o do_v dream_n of_o yea_o they_o shall_v see_v that_o of_o all_o man_n they_o be_v liable_a to_o the_o great_a judgement_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n their_o own_o device_n shall_v aggravate_v their_o judgement_n for_o corrupt_v the_o church_n of_o god_n therefore_o faithful_a pastor_n must_v have_v a_o double_a care_n in_o their_o own_o person_n and_o of_o other_o commit_v to_o their_o charge_n that_o they_o keep_v it_o without_o spott_n and_o that_o they_o deliver_v it_o to_o other_o without_o spott_n again_o we_o do_v here_o see_v that_o these_o ordinance_n be_v not_o to_o be_v change_v so_o long_o as_o the_o world_n endure_v the_o apostle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n compare_v the_o law_n with_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o dispensation_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o the_o dispensation_n under_o the_o law_n he_o call_v they_o both_o kingdom_n because_o they_o be_v in_o his_o church_n where_o his_o kingdom_n be_v now_o say_v the_o apostle_n this_o word_n once_o more_o signify_v the_o remove_v of_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v shake_v as_o of_o thing_n that_o be_v make_v that_o those_o thing_n that_o can_v be_v shake_v may_v remain_v where_o the_o apostle_n show_v that_o the_o dispensation_n under_o the_o law_n be_v not_o to_o continue_v but_o say_v he_o we_o receive_v a_o kingdom_n which_o cannott_n be_v move_v let_v we_o have_v grace_n whereby_o we_o may_v serve_v god_n acceptablie_o with_o reverence_n and_o godly_a fear_n so_o that_o these_o ordinance_n of_o his_o kingdom_n under_o the_o gospel_n they_o can_v be_v shake_v except_o thou_o will_v shake_v thyself_o out_o of_o god_n kingdom_n this_o kingdom_n must_v remain_v constant_a till_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n so_o that_o it_o be_v a_o fearful_a matter_n when_o man_n keep_v not_o this_o in_o their_o time_n since_o it_o must_v not_o be_v change_v till_o the_o world_n end_n yet_o there_o be_v scarce_o any_o degree_n of_o man_n in_o the_o ministry_n that_o do_v not_o pervert_v this_o what_o a_o fearful_a and_o dangerous_a matter_n be_v it_o to_o we_o that_o we_o can_v keep_v it_o for_o so_o short_a a_o time_n and_o if_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n have_v stand_v and_o his_o ordinance_n accord_v to_o his_o truth_n here_o prescribe_v there_o have_v never_o be_v another_o ministry_n nor_o a_o other_o government_n or_o other_o doctrine_n than_o this_o here_o command_v if_o god_n will_v be_v observe_v and_o pastor_n have_v be_v faithful_a they_o will_v never_o have_v corrupt_v god_n ordinance_n and_o worship_n as_o they_o have_v do_v this_o epistle_n be_v the_o only_a form_n that_o god_n allow_v and_o by_o which_o minister_n shall_v be_v examine_v for_o man_n need_v not_o to_o doubt_v how_o the_o church_n may_v be_v reform_v and_o set_v in_o right_a order_n if_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n do_v possess_v their_o heart_n to_o look_v unto_o this_o epistle_n but_o when_o this_o be_v not_o look_v unto_o nor_o regard_v but_o what_o will_v please_v man_n and_o what_o be_v the_o custom_n of_o these_o time_n this_o make_v that_o god_n house_n be_v pester_v w●th_n vanity_n and_o still_o remain_v defile_v and_o if_o pastor_n will_v bend_v their_o study_n to_o learn_v this_o epistle_n it_o will_v show_v they_o their_o folly_n and_o therefore_o all_o which_o labour_n to_o avoid_v god_n fierce_a wrath_n in_o this_o age_n and_o love_v the_o salvation_n of_o their_o soul_n in_o obey_v god_n according_a to_o his_o ordinance_n let_v they_o read_v and_o understand_v this_o epistle_n for_o this_o will_v teach_v they_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n how_o his_o church_n shall_v be_v order_v and_o govern_v one_o lesson_n more_o i_o will_v add_v and_o withal_o will_v make_v a_o end_n this_o commandment_n you_o see_v be_v to_o be_v keep_v till_o the_o world_n end_n let_v we_o gather_v this_o lesson_n from_o it_o have_v god_n charge_v his_o church_n to_o do_v this_o and_o will_v he_o not_o have_v his_o church_n to_o practice_v it_o let_v the_o devil_n and_o antichrist_n rage_n as_o they_o will_v and_o rage_n against_o his_o servant_n yet_o the_o lord_n will_v keep_v they_o and_o this_o commandment_n shall_v be_v keep_v till_o christ_n come_n again_o in_o despite_n of_o they_o though_o not_o in_o the_o most_o part_n of_o the_o world_n yet_o in_o some_o obscure_a place_n he_o will_v have_v his_o own_o witness_n to_o stand_v for_o he_o to_o convince_v the_o world_n of_o error_n the_o reason_n of_o it_o be_v this_o god_n give_v no_o commandment_n to_o his_o church_n that_o he_o will_v have_v keep_v to_o the_o world_n end_n but_o it_o must_v stand_v as_o long_o as_o the_o time_n that_o he_o have_v appoint_v it_o so_o that_o all_o the_o power_n of_o darkness_n shall_v not_o root_v it_o out_o of_o the_o world_n although_o they_o may_v banish_v it_o in_o many_o country_n but_o out_o of_o the_o world_n they_o shall_v never_o banish_v it_o but_o there_o shall_v be_v one_o or_o other_o that_o shall_v stand_v for_o the_o truth_n this_o we_o may_v see_v have_v be_v accomplish_v as_o we_o find_v in_o history_n although_o many_o of_o their_o testimony_n be_v suppress_v yet_o in_o all_o age_n god_n have_v have_v sundry_a who_o have_v maintain_v the_o truth_n so_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o church_n of_o god_n in_o which_o the_o purity_n of_o his_o worship_n shall_v be_v maintain_v so_o long_o as_o the_o world_n shall_v remain_v it_o be_v testify_v that_o no_o condemn_v the_o world_n so_o the_o testimony_n of_o christ_n witness_n shall_v be_v condemnation_n to_o the_o world_n to_o this_o end_n the_o apostle_n say_v if_o our_o gospel_n be_v hide_v it_o be_v hide_v in_o they_o that_o be_v lose_v in_o who_o the_o god_n of_o this_o world_n have_v blind_v their_o mind_n so_o god_n and_o christ_n will_v and_o shall_v be_v worship_v although_o obscure_o although_o not_o at_o jerusalem_n nor_o among_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n yet_o in_o the_o wilderness_n there_o shall_v be_v a_o john_n baptist_n or_o in_o some_o corner_n of_o the_o earth_n or_o other_o god_n will_v have_v his_o faitfull_a witness_n for_o this_o commandment_n shall_v take_v place_n as_o long_o as_o god_n do_v reign_v although_o the_o tyrant_n of_o the_o earth_n obscure_v it_o this_o be_v most_o sure_a that_o his_o gospel_n be_v a_o everlasting_a gospel_n and_o god_n will_v keep_v it_o in_o some_o corner_n of_o the_o earth_n till_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n therefore_o raise_v up_o your_o heart_n with_o joy_n although_o it_o be_v put_v down_o in_o this_o or_o that_o place_n yet_o it_o shall_v be_v raise_v again_o in_o a_o other_o quarter_n of_o the_o world_n it_o come_v from_o the_o

satan_n more_o oppose_v nor_o that_o man_n set_v themselves_o against_o neither_o any_o thing_n so_o contrary_a to_o flesh_n and_o blood_n as_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n worship_n and_o the_o

pure_a therefore_o he_o give_v this_o strait_a charge_n unto_o his_o church_n that_o they_o shall_v lay_v before_o their_o eye_n god_n and_o christ_n continual_o for_o otherwise_o the_o terror_n of_o

the_o apostle_n say_v of_o himself_o to_o the_o corinth_n that_o he_o be_v not_o as_o other_o teacher_n who_o adulterate_v the_o word_n of_o god_n he_o give_v this_o to_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o

only_o that_o stay_v we_o and_o keep_v the_o heart_n of_o man_n and_o that_o keep_v our_o heart_n upright_o in_o the_o work_n of_o god_n see_v the_o truth_n of_o this_o 11._o speak_v of_o moses_n it_o

thus_o we_o see_v how_o necessary_a it_o be_v to_o have_v god_n continual_o in_o our_o sight_n and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o make_v david_n rejoice_v that_o god_n be_v with_o he_o at_o his_o

against_o we_o this_o general_a sight_n of_o god_n and_o of_o christ_n be_v the_o only_a thing_n which_o will_v stay_v a_o miserable_a conscience_n and_o unconstant_a heart_n against_o the_o fear_n of_o man_n we_o see_v joseph_n be_v stay_v by_o this_o not_o to_o yield_v to_o his_o wicked_a mistress_n where_o he_o say_v how_o shall_v i_o do_v this_o great_a wickedness_n and_o sin_n against_o

establish_v our_o heart_n in_o goodness_n again_o it_o may_v be_v demand_v why_o the_o apostle_n join_v god_n and_o christ_n be_v not_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n sufficient_a to_o stay_v our_o heart_n now_o here_o may_v be_v 2_o reason_n give_v for_o it_o in_o give_v this_o charge_n to_o join_v god_n and_o christ_n togeaher_n first_o because_o there_o be_v no_o fruit_n to_o we_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n alone_o except_o the_o sight_n we_o have_v of_o god_n we_o have_v it_o in_o and_o through_o christ_n that_o except_o we_o know_v god_n in_o christ_n our_o saviour_n the_o sight_n of_o god_n will_v never_o allure_v thou_o unto_o obedience_n for_o there_o be_v no_o sight_n of_o god_n that_o will_v establish_v thy_o heart_n in_o obedience_n except_o thou_o see_v god_n as_o the_o father_n of_o christ_n that_o give_v his_o son_n unto_o the_o death_n for_o our_o transgression_n and_o this_o sight_n make_v we_o to_o love_n god_n with_o all_o our_o heart_n and_o to_o prefer_v this_o god_n before_o all_o the_o world_n which_o cause_v we_o we_o dare_v do_v nothing_o that_o shall_v offend_v he_o for_o to_o please_v man_n second_o the_o distinct_a consideration_n of_o these_o two_o be_v of_o great_a force_n to_o further_o and_o provoke_v man_n heart_n unto_o obedience_n first_o in_o consideration_n of_o god_n who_o be_v the_o judge_n of_o all_o the_o world_n before_o who_o face_n all_o the_o world_n shall_v appear_v to_o receive_v according_a as_o they_o have_v do_v in_o their_o body_n whether_o it_o be_v good_a or_o evil_n 3._o the_o consideration_n 2of_n god_n as_o my_o judge_n as_o the_o apostle_n call_v he_o and_o abraham_n call_v he_o so_o likewise_o this_o be_v a_o great_a stay_n to_o restrain_v man_n from_o sin_n when_o i_o do_v know_v that_o he_o who_o be_v my_o judge_n be_v before_o i_o and_o he_o see_v i_o and_o he_o do_v observe_v all_o my_o way_n and_o this_o if_o i_o do_v mind_n be_v of_o mighty_a force_n to_o keep_v i_o from_o sin_v against_o he_o moreover_o if_o there_o be_v any_o safety_n from_o god_n judgement_n it_o be_v by_o the_o mediation_n of_o christ_n alone_o now_o see_v that_o god_n and_o christ_n be_v perpetual_o join_v together_o in_o judgement_n so_o that_o what_o the_o one_o approve_v the_o other_o approve_v therefore_o i_o must_v see_v god_n as_o my_o judge_n and_o christ_n as_o my_o mediator_n as_o a_o mean_n to_o keep_v i_o from_o sin_n and_o for_o both_o these_o reason_n it_o be_v that_o the_o apostle_n join_v they_o together_o god_n and_o christ_n in_o this_o his_o charge_n to_o let_v we_o see_v we_o have_v god_n and_o christ_n for_o our_o enemy_n to_o convince_v we_o and_o to_o condemn_v we_o in_o that_o great_a day_n see_v in_o both_o their_o name_n we_o be_v charge_v to_o keep_v this_o commandment_n without_o spot_n and_o thus_o we_o be_v teach_v the_o reason_n wherefore_o he_o join_v god_n and_o christ_n together_o in_o this_o great_a charge_n now_o we_o be_v to_o come_v to_o the_o particular_a consideration_n of_o this_o charge_n first_o he_o laieh_o god_n before_o we_o to_o be_v consider_v in_o this_o particular_a that_o he_o quick_o n_v
find_v falsehood_n in_o he_o that_o witness_v the_o truth_n the_o apostle_n john_n have_v a_o comfortable_a say_n of_o himself_o in_o the_o end_n of_o his_o gospel_n these_o thing_n be_v write_v that_o you_o may_v believe_v these_o thing_n we_o witness_v and_o these_o thing_n we_o know_v be_v true_a o_o will_v to_o god_n pastor_n will_v speak_v of_o nothing_o to_o god_n people_n but_o that_o they_o know_v to_o be_v god_n will_v and_o not_o to_o teach_v man_n foolish_a fancy_n but_o god_n truth_n only_o for_o that_o will_v make_v we_o free_a as_o christ_n say_v in_o the_o 17._o of_o john_n if_o you_o abide_v in_o my_o word_n 17._o the_o truth_n shall_v make_v you_o free_a so_o that_o our_o freedom_n in_o god_n sight_n proceed_v from_o his_o truth_n and_o he_o which_o teach_v falsehood_n can_v keep_v himself_o from_o bondage_n do_v what_o he_o can_v the_o last_o point_n of_o this_o confession_n be_v this_o who_o so_o ever_o be_v of_o the_o truth_n hear_v my_o voice_n this_o may_v have_v be_v think_v a_o very_a proud_a word_n of_o christ_n at_o that_o time_n for_o he_o tell_v pilate_n to_o his_o face_n that_o he_o have_v no_o part_n in_o the_o truth_n what_o mean_v he_o by_o the_o truth_n certain_o the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o be_v the_o immortal_a seed_n to_o beget_v man_n to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n this_o be_v that_o christ_n call_v the_o child_n of_o wisdom_n say_v wisdom_n be_v justify_v of_o her_o child_n this_o than_o be_v the_o 4._o part_n of_o christ_n confession_n which_o he_o do_v bold_o witness_v even_o before_o the_o judge_n who_o have_v power_n to_o take_v his_o life_n from_o he_o even_o to_o tell_v he_o to_o his_o face_n that_o he_o have_v no_o part_n in_o the_o truth_n because_o he_o hearken_v not_o to_o his_o voice_n thus_o you_o see_v the_o substance_n of_o christ_n confession_n let_v we_o now_o see_v if_o it_o concern_v not_o we_o in_o every_o point_n &_o that_o as_o be_v minister_n to_o follow_v his_o example_n there_o be_v many_o thing_n that_o we_o be_v to_o confess_v but_o the_o substance_n of_o it_o be_v this_o which_o christ_n confess_v which_o we_o must_v keep_v and_o observe_v to_o the_o loss_n of_o our_o life_n &_o where_o in_o stand_v the_o faithfulness_n of_o a_o pastor_n according_a to_o the_o example_n of_o christ_n when_o no_o fear_n to_o loose_v our_o life_n will_v make_v we_o to_o conceal_v or_o to_o

of_o his_o truth_n in_o the_o house_n of_o god_n as_o there_o now_o be_v there_o will_v not_o be_v such_o vain_a invention_n of_o man_n in_o the_o house_n of_o god_n as_o there_o be_v pastor_n dare_v

they_o that_o rail_v upon_o they_o now_o shall_v be_v force_v to_o justify_v they_o these_o than_o be_v the_o two_o thing_n which_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n will_v have_v pastor_n to_o look_v unto_o that_o they_o keep_v this_o commandment_n without_o spott_n or_o rebuke_n out_o of_o this_o we_o may_v see_v and_o discern_v what_o the_o estate_n of_o god_n church_n be_v this_o day_n there_o be_v no_o church_n under_o the_o sun_n but_o be_v guilty_a of_o one_o of_o these_o two_o misery_n the_o one_o be_v this_o that_o pastor_n can_v be_v suffer_v to_o perform_v this_o or_o else_o that_o pastor_n have_v suffer_v themselves_o to_o be_v corrupt_v to_o do_v the_o contrary_a either_o their_o hand_n be_v shorten_v that_o they_o have_v no_o liberty_n that_o though_o they_o will_v never_o so_o fain_o practice_v god_n commandment_n yet_o they_o can_v get_v liberty_n to_o do_v it_o or_o if_o they_o have_v liberty_n to_o do_v something_o yet_o not_o all_o thing_n he_o may_v do_v a_o part_n yet_o not_o the_o uhole_a truth_n of_o god_n this_o be_v one_o of_o the_o misery_n which_o lie_v upon_o the_o church_n of_o god_n this_o day_n i_o will_v not_o enter_v into_o judgement_n whether_o the_o fault_n be_v in_o the_o pastor_n or_o in_o the_o people_n but_o this_o i_o be_o sure_a if_o there_o be_v more_o courage_n in_o pastor_n for_o god_n truth_n then_o there_o be_v it_o be_v well_o we_o will_v leave_v they_o to_o answer_v for_o themselves_o which_o be_v guiltye_n of_o it_o the_o second_o impiety_n be_v this_o that_o pastor_n for_o the_o pleasure_n of_o man_n have_v corrupt_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n many_o way_n even_o in_o the_o reform_a church_n which_o they_o have_v take_v from_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n see_v what_o corruption_n now_o there_o be_v in_o god_n house_n in_o many_o place_n see_v if_o such_o be_v choose_v for_o bishop_n as_o the_o apostle_n have_v here_o describe_v in_o this_o epistle_n come_v to_o the_o administration_n of_o the_o sacrament_n and_o then_o unto_o the_o preacher_n of_o the_o word_n be_v any_o thing_n more_o corrupt_v than_o they_o be_v be_v any_o thing_n leave_v of_o public_a prayer_n and_o preach_v or_o of_o administration_n of_o the_o sacrament_n according_a to_o god_n appointment_n be_v that_o order_n of_o government_n practise_v among_o they_o as_o the_o apostle_n have_v here_o lay_v down_o for_o the_o church_n practice_v let_v they_o look_v to_o this_o epistle_n and_o judge_v themselves_o according_a to_o the_o rule_v here_o set_v down_o and_o do_v not_o say_v because_o it_o be_v like_o the_o best_a church_n therefore_o it_o be_v the_o best_a church_n no_o if_o it_o be_v not_o according_a to_o this_o commandment_n it_o be_v accurse_v i_o need_v not_o speak_v of_o this_o for_o it_o be_v too_o palpable_a and_o abominable_a in_o many_o church_n there_o be_v all_o corrupt_a they_o will_v have_v man_n invention_n they_o be_v not_o content_a with_o god_n ordinance_n but_o they_o will_v have_v they_o to_o be_v mingle_v with_o human_a invention_n or_o with_o the_o devise_n of_o that_o curse_a church_n of_o rome_n this_o be_v no_o small_a cause_n of_o god_n anger_n and_o of_o his_o fierce_a wrath_n to_o see_v this_o charge_n thus_o to_o be_v tread_v under_o foot_n by_o pastor_n who_o have_v so_o little_o study_v this_o portion_n of_o scripture_n they_o learn_v all_o thing_n which_o other_o shall_v practice_v and_o learn_v nothing_o which_o themselves_o shall_v practice_v and_o learn_v we_o all_o know_v this_o that_o a_o physician_n that_o study_v natural_a physic_n for_o the_o good_a of_o man_n body_n that_o it_o be_v a_o dangerous_a thing_n if_o he_o shall_v proffer_v any_o physic_n to_o the_o patient_a except_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v of_o use_n and_o with_o such_o mixture_n which_o be_v profitable_a for_o the_o sick_a because_o a_o little_a thing_n amiss_o may_v kill_v the_o patient_a and_o do_v we_o think_v that_o there_o be_v such_o danger_n in_o natural_a help_n for_o the_o preserve_n of_o our_o natural_a life_n and_o be_v there_o not_o much_o more_o danger_n in_o corrupt_v of_o the_o spiritual_a medicine_n which_o shall_v keep_v we_o in_o the_o life_n of_o god_n that_o it_o benot_a extinguish_v what_o a_o woeful_a change_n be_v it_o to_o corrupt_v the_o word_n and_o sacrament_n so_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o the_o very_a poison_n of_o the_o word_n and_o sacrament_n it_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o poison_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n the_o apostle_n let_v we_o see_v this_o plain_o that_o the_o force_n of_o save_a grace_n be_v take_v from_o god_n ordinance_n when_o they_o be_v do_v otherwise_o they_o he_o command_v in_o the_o 1_o cor_n 1._o the_o apostle_n show_v the_o reason_n why_o he_o will_v not_o preach_v the_o gospel_n in_o the_o intiseinge_n word_n of_o man_n wisdom_n lest_o say_v he_o i_o shall_v make_v the_o cross_n of_o christ_n of_o none_o effect_n &_o be_v it_o not_o a_o strange_a thing_n that_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n in_o the_o intise_v word_n of_o man_n wisdom_n or_o eloquence_n shall_v take_v away_o the_o force_n of_o christ_n cruify_v from_o save_v of_o our_o soul_n and_o yet_o the_o apostle_n say_v it_o do_v so_o in_o the_o 1._o corinth_n 11.20_o when_o you_o come_v together_o therefore_o into_o one_o place_n this_o be_v not_o to_o eat_v the_o lord_n body_n or_o lord_n supper_n the_o abuse_n in_o eat_v the_o lord_n supper_n make_v that_o it_o can_v not_o serve_v as_o god_n ordinance_n to_o comfort_v the_o conscience_n thus_o we_o may_v see_v the_o save_a force_n of_o god_n ordinance_n be_v take_v away_o when_o they_o be_v pollute_v by_o human_a authority_n and_o vain_a invention_n to_o go_v further_o you_o see_v how_o pure_o and_o without_o spot_n god_n will_v have_v his_o ordinance_n to_o be_v keep_v he_o will_v not_o have_v man_n to_o deal_v with_o they_o but_o that_o they_o must_v be_v keep_v entire_a and_o pure_a but_o how_o long_o must_v they_o be_v so_o keep_v until_o the_o appear_v of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n what_o a_o important_a charge_n may_v this_o seem_v to_o be_v unto_o timothy_n this_o let_v we_o see_v two_o thing_n in_o the_o duty_n that_o god_n have_v charge_v on_o all_o pastor_n first_o that_o in_o this_o charge_n all_o minister_n be_v charge_v with_o it_o and_o that_o this_o be_v not_o a_o commandment_n to_o timothy_n only_o in_o his_o time_n but_o for_o all_o that_o shall_v follow_v in_o the_o ministry_n unto_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n till_o christ_n appear_v again_o second_o let_v we_o see_v another_o thing_n namely_o how_o this_o must_v be_v do_v every_o minister_n must_v keep_v it_o pure_a and_o pure_a he_o must_v deliver_v it_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o they_o which_o shall_v succeed_v he_o that_o be_v he_o must_v keep_v it_o sincere_a as_o the_o apostle_n tell_v timothy_n in_o his_o second_o epistle_n deliver_v that_o thou_o have_v receive_v unto_o faithful_a man_n that_o they_o may_v deliver_v it_o to_o other_o there_o must_v be_v a_o deliver_n of_o it_o from_o hand_n to_o hand_n as_o the_o apostle_n teach_v timothy_n so_o shall_v he_o teach_v other_o minister_n that_o they_o shall_v so_o preach_v and_o administer_v the_o sacrament_n as_o they_o may_v be_v example_n unto_o they_o that_o shall_v come_v after_o they_o to_o do_v the_o like_a and_o this_o timothy_n be_v say_v to_o do_v this_o till_o christ_n appear_v when_o he_o do_v it_o all_o his_o own_o time_n oh_o what_o a_o fearful_a thing_n be_v it_o when_o pastor_n be_v not_o careful_a to_o leave_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n and_o of_o christ_n and_o the_o purity_n of_o they_o to_o those_o that_o follow_v after_o they_o they_o know_v not_o what_o they_o must_v answer_v for_o who_o be_v example_n of_o the_o contrary_a oh_o
