they_o will_v bear_v the_o world_n in_o hand_n that_o they_o fail_v but_o in_o circumstance_n and_o ceremony_n not_o in_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o ministry_n where_o we_o may_v first_o consider_v how_o these_o forward_a preacher_n be_v now_o drive_v to_o the_o same_o shift_n whereunto_o they_o drive_v the_o prelate_n and_o formalist_n heretofore_o the_o reply_n forward_a preacher_n prove_v

it_o be_v to_o be_v note_v how_o they_o will_v under_o the_o name_n of_o ceremony_n and_o circumstance_n subtle_o hide_v that_o foul_a heap_n of_o abomination_n which_o they_o have_v take_v out_o of_o

to_o be_v know_v and_o they_o shall_v do_v well_o to_o set_v down_o what_o they_o account_v the_o substance_n of_o the_o ministry_n mr._n h._n 10._o afterward_o speak_v of_o the_o entrance_n into_o the_o ministry_n set_v down_o three_o substantial_a part_n thereof_o as_o he_o call_v they_o first_o a_o due_a trial_n second_o the_o choice_n of_o the_o people_n it_o seem_v he_o mean_v a_o true_a visible_a church_n else_o he_o speak_v not_o to_o the_o purpose_n three_o a_o right_a ordination_n of_o which_o three_o see_v in_o his_o own_o understanding_n as_o appear_v afterward_o he_o can_v not_o himself_o deny_v but_o most_o of_o their_o minister_n want_v all_o and_o all_o their_o minister_n want_v some_o to_o wit_n the_o choice_n of_o a_o true_a visible_a church_n and_o a_o right_a ordination_n it_o be_v evident_a by_o his_o own_o grant_n they_o want_v the_o substance_n of_o a_o true_a call_n to_o the_o ministry_n and_o therefore_o fail_v not_o only_o in_o circumstance_n as_o he_o will_v pretend_v but_o that_o we_o may_v the_o better_o try_v out_o the_o truth_n in_o this_o point_n i_o will_v here_o set_v down_o what_o i_o take_v to_o be_v substantial_a in_o the_o ministry_n and_o that_o be_v first_o that_o it_o be_v a_o true_a and_o lawful_a office_n of_o ministry_n which_o be_v receyve_v and_o execute_v that_o be_v that_o it_o be_v such_o as_o christ_n in_o his_o testament_n have_v give_v to_o his_o church_n for_o the_o work_n of_o his_o ministry_n second_o that_o there_o be_v a_o lawful_a call_n and_o entrance_n into_o such_o office_n as_o be_v aforesaid_a three_o that_o the_o administration_n thereof_o be_v according_a to_o the_o testament_n of_o christ._n other_o thing_n there_o be_v also_o which_o be_v of_o great_a weight_n towth_v the_o ministry_n but_o these_o three_o special_o i_o take_v to_o be_v such_o as_o be_v substantial_a unto_o it_o insomuch_o as_o none_o of_o these_o can_v be_v want_v to_o the_o execution_n of_o a_o true_a ministry_n for_o towch_v the_o first_o that_o be_v a_o true_a and_o lawful_a office_n prescribe_v by_o christ_n if_o it_o may_v be_v want_v in_o a_o true_a ministry_n to_o what_o end_n be_v it_o that_o christ_n have_v 13._o give_v to_o his_o church_n certain_a and_o distinct_a office_n for_o the_o work_n of_o the_o ministry_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n or_o how_o shall_v it_o be_v true_a in_o this_o case_n which_o the_o apostle_n 28._o say_v of_o all_o the_o office_n appoint_v by_o christ_n that_o god_n have_v set_v they_o in_o his_o church_n and_o again_o that_o there_o be_v diverâityes_n of_o ministerye_n but_o the_o same_o lord_n otherwise_o also_o what_o a_o wide_a door_n will_v be_v open_v to_o the_o 39_o receyve_v and_o execute_v in_o the_o church_n of_o any_o false_a office_n whatsoever_o even_o for_o man_n after_o their_o own_o lust_n to_o get_v they_o a_o heap_n of_o teacher_n and_o so_o to_o go_v a_o whore_v after_o their_o own_o inventioâs_n in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n final_o how_o shall_v man_n for_o conscience_n sake_n 17._o honour_n obey_v and_o submit_v unto_o they_o which_o have_v the_o oversight_n of_o the_o church_n if_o they_o be_v not_o over_o they_o in_o the_o lord_n and_o consequent_o in_o true_a and_o lawful_a office_n ordain_v by_o christ_n for_o the_o second_o that_o be_v a_o true_a and_o lawful_a call_n and_o entrance_n into_o their_o office_n if_o it_o may_v be_v want_v in_o a_o true_a ministry_n why_o say_v the_o 5._o scripture_n no_o man_n take_v this_o honour_n unto_o himself_o but_o âe_n that_o be_v call_v of_o god_n as_o be_v aaron_n yea_o that_o christ_n do_v not_o attribute_v this_o honour_n to_o himself_o to_o be_v make_v the_o high_a priest_n but_o be_v call_v of_o he_o that_o say_v unto_o he_o thou_o be_v my_o son_n this_o day_n beget_v â_o thou_o why_o also_o do_v christ_n account_v they_o for_o 5._o stranger_n thief_n and_o robber_n which_o enter_v not_o in_o by_o the_o door_n into_o the_o sheepfold_n but_o climb_v up_o another_o way_n or_o to_o what_o end_n shall_v it_o be_v that_o christ_n so_o earnest_o 16._o say_v very_o very_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o if_o i_o send_v any_o he_o that_o receyve_v he_o receyve_v i_o and_o he_o that_o receyve_v i_o receyve_v he_o that_o send_v i_o and_o again_o he_o that_o despise_v he_o despise_v i_o and_o he_o that_o despise_v i_o despise_v he_o that_o send_v i_o or_o why_o have_v god_n by_o the_o 21._o prophet_n jeremy_n complain_v against_o and_o reject_v the_o false_a prophet_n in_o this_o respect_n say_v i_o have_v not_o send_v these_o prophet_n yet_o they_o run_v i_o have_v not_o speak_v unto_o they_o yet_o they_o prophesy_v last_o if_o a_o true_a and_o lawful_a calling_n be_v not_o substantial_a and_o necessary_a to_o the_o execution_n of_o a_o true_a ministry_n then_o why_o may_v not_o man_n devise_v new_a kind_n of_o entrance_n or_o intrude_v themselves_o into_o the_o ministry_n at_o their_o pleasure_n both_o which_o be_v unlawful_a for_o the_o three_o that_o be_v a_o lawful_a administration_n according_a to_o the_o testament_n of_o christ_n that_o it_o also_o can_v be_v want_v the_o scripture_n show_v many_o time_n and_o sundry_a way_n first_o in_o that_o the_o apostle_n charge_v timothy_n to_o 13._o keep_v the_o true_a pattern_n of_o wholesome_a word_n deliver_v by_o the_o apostle_n and_o that_o if_o any_o 10._o teach_v otherwise_o and_o condescend_v not_o to_o the_o wholesome_a word_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o to_o the_o doctrine_n which_o be_v according_a to_o godliness_n they_o shall_v be_v separate_v from_o and_o hold_v to_o be_v accurse_v second_o in_o that_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o for_o 15._o this_o very_a cause_n he_o write_v unto_o timothy_n and_o in_o he_o to_o 2._o all_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o age_n follow_v that_o they_o may_v know_v how_o they_o ought_v to_o behave_v themselves_o in_o the_o house_n of_o god_n which_o be_v the_o
