1._o they_o must_v be_v such_o as_o be_v gift_v from_o god_n to_o preach_v the_o word_n instant_a in_o season_n or_o out_o of_o season_n that_o be_v to_o say_v at_o all_o time_n they_o must_v not_o be_v such_o as_o want_v a_o library_n tie_v to_o their_o back_n nor_o a_o three_o penny_n sermon_n book_n to_o preach_v from_o but_o must_v be_v such_o as_o be_v acquaint_v with_o the_o mind_n and_o will_n of_o god_n as_o it_o be_v reveal_v in_o scripture_n as_o say_v the_o apostle_n a_o bishop_n must_v be_v blameless_a as_o the_o sleward_n of_o god_n not_o self-willed_a not_o soon_o angry_a

hold_v fast_o the_o faithful_a word_n etc._n etc._n thus_o must_v a_o true_a minister_n be_v qualify_v and_o more_o also_o the_o which_o will_v be_v too_o large_a for_o i_o at_o present_a as_o in_o

be_v true_o make_v ought_v to_o be_v choose_v by_o a_o joint_a consent_n of_o the_o church_n and_o to_o be_v a_o man_n of_o their_o own_o coast_n that_o be_v of_o the_o same_o church_n and_o his_o gift_n try_v and_o approve_v therefore_o we_o never_o read_v that_o there_o be_v ever_o any_o minister_n ordain_v or_o appoint_v to_o this_o or_o that_o church_n unless_o he_o first_o have_v be_v a_o

whence_o we_o may_v see_v that_o the_o true_a ministry_n have_v not_o so_o large_a a_o licence_n as_o you_o travel_a minister_n have_v unless_o be_v be_v the_o apostle_n they_o go_v from_o place_n to_o place_n to_o plant_v church_n but_o not_o to_o look_v for_o the_o big_a live_n but_o where_o the_o lord_n have_v any_o work_n to_o do_v they_o do_v it_o and_o yet_o do_v not_o bargain_n before_o hand_n what_o wage_n they_o shall_v have_v for_o so_o do_v neither_o do_v they_o covet_v any_o man_n gold_n or_o silver_n or_o the_o like_a but_o you_o may_v see_v more_o of_o this_o in_o my_o former_a treatise_n entitle_v zions_n redemption_n and_o original_a sin_n again_o as_o a_o true_a minister_n must_v be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o same_o church_n over_o who_o he_o be_v appoint_v and_o his_o gift_n approve_v by_o they_o so_o the_o same_o church_n over_o who_o he_o be_v to_o be_v a_o watchman_n or_o to_o be_v present_a to_o hear_v the_o charge_n each_o over_o other_o when_o it_o be_v solemn_o give_v by_o the_o eldership_n for_o that_o end_n titus_n be_v to_o abide_v in_o crete_n among_o the_o church_n and_o also_o the_o lord_n command_v moses_n to_o do_v so_o concern_v joshua_n as_o you_o may_v read_v in_o the_o book_n of_o number_n say_v and_o the_o lord_n say_v unto_o moses_n 19_o numb_a 27.18_o 19_o take_v thou_o joshua_n the_o son_n of_o nun_n a_o man_n in_o who_o be_v

they_o understand_v not_o that_o he_o shall_v come_v twice_o on_o earth_n first_o to_o suffer_v &_o then_o to_o reign_v but_o at_o his_o first_o come_n they_o suppose_v that_o he_o will_v restore_v

and_o in_o the_o first_o place_n you_o tell_v i_o it_o will_v be_v too_o great_a a_o honour_n for_o you_o to_o answer_v i_o at_o large_a in_o this_o particular_a scripture_n no_o great_a honour_n to_o

to_o which_o i_o answer_v and_o say_v i_o do_v not_o envy_v the_o expression_n for_o these_o three_o reason_n the_o first_o be_v because_o sometime_o a_o patient_a beast_n will_v kick_v when_o his_o

be_v a_o time_n in_o which_o you_o be_v a_o fool_n if_o you_o be_v yet_o grow_v wise_a and_o three_o i_o be_o hot_a trouble_a because_o you_o call_v i_o ass_n because_o a_o ass_n be_v a_o innocent_a

moreover_o i_o have_v once_o read_v that_o a_o ass_n can_v see_v better_a than_o his_o rider_n by_o which_o he_o reprove_v the_o folly_n of_o his_o master_n but_o no_o more_o of_o this_o a_o word_n
