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 reference_n to_o my_o occasion_n to_o mention_v in_o particular_a and_o therefore_o shall_v pass_v to_o the_o three_o and_o last_o thing_n which_o be_v the_o formality_n or_o method_n of_o election_n and_o ordination_n together_o with_o the_o work_n contain_v in_o the_o office_n and_o because_o i_o have_v hint_v at_o be_v already_o i_o shall_v be_v brief_a and_o say_v that_o a_o minister_n that_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

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

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
