which_o they_o worship_v with_o which_o their_o fact_n god_n be_v angry_a he_o threaten_v to_o destroy_v they_o and_o as_o he_o go_v about_o to_o perform_v that_o which_o he_o have_v speak_v he_o be_v

here_o the_o chief_a point_n that_o god_n know_v well_o how_o he_o may_v be_v move_v by_o the_o request_n of_o his_o servant_n moses_n the_o history_n report_v that_o god_n speak_v after_o this_o

what_o man_n i_o pray_v you_o can_v be_v marvellous_o move_v by_o those_o miraculous_a work_n of_o god_n which_o he_o have_v perform_v by_o the_o minister_n of_o his_o word_n what_o man_n be_v there_o

have_v a_o great_a number_n of_o faithful_a pastor_n every_o one_o they_o may_v easy_o perceive_v that_o they_o be_v not_o without_o great_a reason_n set_v forth_o with_o the_o title_n of_o prophet_n man_n of_o god_n angel_n and_o with_o the_o title_n of_o god_n himself_o and_o for_o this_o cause_n it_o be_v impossible_a for_o any_o man_n not_o only_o to_o do_v but_o once_o to_o imagine_v to_o do_v that_o which_o he_o have_v perform_v by_o they_o how_o that_o he_o work_v by_o they_o as_o by_o instrument_n which_o he_o have_v vouchsafe_v to_o choose_v of_o his_o incomprehensible_a goodness_n to_o serve_v he_o but_o some_o will_v say_v what_o will_v you_o have_v it_o that_o the_o miraculous_a act_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n and_o other_o great_a man_n shall_v be_v now_o attribute_v to_o the_o pastor_n which_o be_v in_o these_o day_n and_o must_v they_o be_v so_o honour_v as_o the_o prophet_n be_v not_o only_o of_o the_o simple_a people_n among_o who_o many_o which_o go_v unto_o they_o call_v themselves_o their_o servant_n 18_o 1._o king_n 18_o as_o obadiah_n call_v elias_n lord_n when_o he_o speak_v unto_o he_o &_o name_v himself_o his_o servant_n and_o that_o widow_n of_o who_o we_o have_v speak_v before_o when_o she_o speak_v to_o elisha_n she_o say_v thy_o servant_n thy_o handmaid_n pray_v thou_o or_o cause_v thou_o to_o understand_v 4_o 2_o king_n 4_o and_o when_o she_o speak_v of_o her_o husband_n she_o name_v he_o his_o servant_n etc._n etc._n but_o also_o they_o be_v regard_v of_o king_n because_o they_o go_v unto_o they_o in_o respect_n of_o a_o singular_a reverence_n that_o they_o bear_v towards_o they_o to_o inquire_v of_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n as_o we_o have_v allege_v how_o jehoram_n jehosaphat_n and_o the_o king_n of_o edom_n and_o many_o other_o king_n which_o common_o do_v demand_v their_o counsel_n in_o their_o affair_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o great_a honour_n that_o they_o bear_v towards_o they_o it_o may_v be_v they_o some_o will_v reply_v that_o the_o minister_n which_o live_v now_o shall_v do_v the_o which_o they_o do_v we_o answer_v that_o all_o which_o they_o do_v must_v not_o be_v attribute_v to_o their_o person_n for_o they_o be_v man_n as_o we_o be_v but_o unto_o their_o ministry_n and_o because_o it_o please_v god_n to_o send_v we_o forth_o to_o be_v messenger_n of_o his_o word_n as_o he_o do_v they_o why_o shall_v not_o that_o honour_n which_o be_v attribute_v to_o their_o ministry_n be_v attribute_v to_o we_o because_o that_o be_v all_o one_o there_o be_v only_o this_o difference_n that_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n be_v more_o plentiful_o pour_v forth_o by_o they_o then_o by_o we_o and_o therefore_o we_o must_v add_v that_o as_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n be_v more_o ample_o declare_v by_o they_o so_o also_o a_o great_a honour_n be_v due_a unto_o they_o even_o so_o now_o at_o this_o day_n he_o must_v be_v most_o honour_v unto_o who_o god_n have_v communicate_v most_o grace_n otherwise_o he_o that_o will_v not_o do_v it_o must_v be_v reckon_v unthankful_a unto_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n moreover_o if_o he_o that_o be_v inferior_a to_o another_o be_v greeve_v because_o he_o be_v not_o so_o much_o reverence_v and_o honour_v as_o he_o that_o do_v excel_v he_o in_o gift_n although_o they_o be_v both_o of_o the_o same_o function_n we_o say_v that_o he_o be_v to_o be_v account_v a_o proud_a and_o envious_a man_n but_o also_o we_o must_v consider_v that_o see_v that_o god_n will_v be_v serve_v by_o our_o ministry_n as_o he_o be_v by_o that_o of_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n it_o please_v he_o also_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v account_v of_o as_o they_o be_v according_a to_o the_o measure_n of_o grace_n which_o it_o please_v he_o to_o distribute_v to_o every_o one_o for_o although_o that_o the_o preacher_n now_o at_o this_o day_n have_v not_o such_o a_o fullness_n of_o gift_n as_o they_o have_v to_o do_v such_o miraculous_a thing_n nevertheless_o have_v the_o charge_n of_o preach_v his_o word_n when_o it_o please_v he_o he_o may_v furnish_v they_o with_o such_o grace_n as_o they_o may_v perform_v the_o like_a thing_n or_o else_o come_v near_o unto_o they_o it_o may_v also_o be_v object_v that_o we_o shall_v recite_v something_o do_v by_o they_o which_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o no_o great_a difficulty_n for_o all_o they_o unto_o who_o god_n have_v give_v eye_n to_o see_v more_o clear_o than_o the_o simple_a people_n may_v bear_v sufficient_a witness_n that_o in_o these_o latter_a time_n god_n have_v raise_v up_o some_o extraordinarllye_n unto_o the_o holy_a ministry_n who_o have_v do_v as_o miraculous_a thing_n as_o those_o of_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n not_o many_o year_n be_v pass_v since_o the_o whole_a world_n be_v plunge_v in_o gross_a darkness_n and_o ignorance_n so_o that_o it_o be_v a_o hard_a thing_n to_o say_v whither_o there_o be_v a_o church_n or_o the_o doctrine_n of_o jesus_n christ_n or_o
