ordain_v appoint_a fit_v furnish_v enable_v or_o anoint_v by_o christ_n hereunto_o all_o these_o name_n signify_v indeed_o but_o one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n for_o he_o who_o be_v not_o fit_v furnish_v enable_v or_o anoint_v thereunto_o be_v not_o impower_v constitute_v ordain_v or_o appoint_v by_o god_n or_o christ_n thereunto_o the_o ordination_n of_o man_n in_o this_o point_n will_v not_o do_v except_o they_o can_v give_v the_o thing_n also_o the_o inward_a anoint_v as_o well_o as_o the_o outward_a therefore_o the_o apostle_n although_o they_o have_v the_o promise_n yet_o they_o be_v not_o to_o stir_v they_o be_v not_o to_o go_v forth_o to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n until_o themselves_o have_v receive_v the_o gospel_n the_o promise_n of_o the_o father_n until_o they_o be_v endue_v with_o power_n from_o on_o high_a luke_o 24.49_o and_o behold_v i_o do_v send_v the_o promise_n of_o my_o father_n upon_o you_o but_o tarry_v you_o in_o the_o city_n of_o jerusalem_n until_o you_o be_v endue_v with_o power_n from_o on_o high_a act_v 1.8_o you_o shall_v receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n here_o be_v a_o further_a confirmation_n of_o the_o promise_n but_o yet_o they_o stir_v not_o act_n 2.1.4_o there_o it_o be_v say_v they_o be_v all_o fill_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n now_o have_v they_o the_o performance_n of_o the_o promise_n now_o and_o not_o before_o be_v they_o

the_o preach_n of_o christ_n gospel_n unto_o other_o and_o then_o they_o indeed_o do_v go_v forth_o preach_v baptise_v heal_v all_o manner_n of_o disease_n cast_v out_o devil_n and_o the_o like_a free_o they_o have_v receive_v and_o free_o they_o be_v to_o give_v and_o so_o indeed_o they_o do_v as_o peter_n say_v to_o the_o cripple_n who_o he_o heal_v silver_n and_o gold_n have_v i_o none_o but_o such_o as_o i_o have_v that_o give_v i_o unto_o you_o rise_v up_o and_o walk_v and_o he_o lift_v he_o up_o by_o the_o hand_n heal_v he_o and_o he_o walk_v thereby_o manifest_v and_o declare_v what_o the_o gospel_n what_o the_o anoint_v what_o the_o missage_n or_o message_n be_v they_o have_v receive_v and_o according_o do_v give_o forth_o the_o same_o as_o be_v declare_v and_o indeed_o nothing_o can_v give_v that_o which_o it_o have_v not_o or_o more_o than_o it_o have_v neither_o can_v any_o thing_n act_n beyond_o the_o power_n or_o ability_n it_o have_v receive_v if_o the_o power_n be_v of_o man_n the_o anoint_v of_o and_o by_o man_n why_o according_o be_v and_z must_v needs_o be_v in_o its_o speaking_n and_o go_n forth_o its_o act_n and_o operation_n for_o no_o stream_n can_v run_v high_o or_o above_o its_o head_n or_o spring_n that_o which_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o flesh_n be_v flesh_n that_o which_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o spirit_n be_v spirit_n if_o it_o be_v from_o man_n its_o live_n be_v and_o must_v needs_o be_v in_o and_o upon_o man_n and_o its_o return_n unto_o man_n if_o of_o and_o from_o god_n its_o live_n be_v and_o will_v be_v only_o in_o and_o upon_o god_n and_o its_o return_n only_o unto_o or_o into_o god_n wherefore_o it_o be_v as_o christ_n say_v john_n 5.44_o how_o can_v you_o believe_v who_o receive_v honour_n one_o from_o another_o and_o seek_v not_o the_o honour_n that_o come_v from_o god_n alone_o whence_o i_o argue_v he_o that_o have_v not_o himself_o receive_v the_o gospel_n in_o deed_n and_o in_o truth_n he_o that_o have_v not_o receive_v the_o message_n as_o be_v before_o declare_v that_o have_v not_o receive_v it_o in_o life_n and_o power_n that_o be_v not_o thus_o
anoint_v of_o god_n can_v himself_n in_o deed_n and_o in_o truth_n preach_v the_o gospel_n unto_o another_o he_o who_o preach_v the_o gospel_n must_v be_v gospelize_v evangelized_a must_v be_v in_o very_a deed_n and_o truth_n the_o very_a thing_n he_o speak_v and_o preach_v the_o gospel_n be_v not_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o letter_n or_o dead_a word_n only_o but_o it_o be_v life_n and_o power_n it_o be_v not_o a_o dead_a christ_n but_o a_o live_a christ_n or_o christ_n indeed_o and_o in_o truth_n dwell_v or_o live_v lively_a and_o powerful_o in_o flesh_n manifest_v preach_v or_o speak_v forth_o itself_o by_o or_o through_o flesh_n and_o that_o not_o in_o or_o by_o dead_a word_n or_o letter_n only_o but_o in_o power_n and_o life_n declare_v by_o real_a sensible_a and_o suitable_a act_n as_o be_v before_o quote_v according_a as_o be_v also_o in_o 2_o cor._n 3.2,3_o you_o be_v our_o epistle_n write_v in_o our_o heart_n which_o be_v understand_v and_o read_v of_o all_o man_n in_o that_o you_o be_v manifest_a to_o be_v the_o epistle_n of_o christ_n minister_v by_o we_o and_o write_v not_o with_o ink_n but_o with_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o live_a god_n not_o in_o table_n of_o stone_n but_o in_o the_o fleshly_a table_n of_o the_o heart_n thus_o as_o the_o gospel_n be_v receive_v in_o power_n so_o be_v it_o again_o preach_v or_o give_v forth_o in_o power_n what_o paul_n have_v receive_v that_o he_o also_o communicate_v which_o what_o it_o be_v you_o there_o see_v wherefore_o i_o leave_v it_o to_o be_v due_o weigh_v and_o consider_v whether_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a that_o he_o who_o go_v forth_o to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n of_o god_n or_o christ_n or_o christ_n gospel_n or_o god_n god_n spell_n or_o good_a spell_n be_v not_o thus_o ordain_v appoint_v impower_v or_o anoint_v of_o god_n as_o be_v before_o express_v and_o that_o he_o do_v indeed_o and_o in_o truth_n receive_v his_o power_n or_o anoint_v not_o from_o below_o not_o from_o man_n but_o from_o god_n or_o from_o above_o and_o then_o whether_o any_o arethus_a ordain_v appoint_a or_o anoint_a and_o who_o and_o where_o those_o be_v and_o then_o if_o there_o be_v any_o such_o whether_o they_o do_v not_o high_o dishonour_v their_o lord_n and_o master_n in_o seek_v power_n from_o below_o or_o from_o man_n contrary_a to_o the_o example_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n yea_o contrary_a to_o the_o very_a nature_n of_o the_o thing_n or_o power_n itself_o they_o pretend_v to_o it_o be_v say_v by_o some_o of_o the_o clergy_n at_o the_o committee_n to_o what_o end_n or_o

of_o god_n or_o christ_n although_o ordain_v impower_v constitute_v appoint_v and_o anoint_a thereunto_o by_o god_n or_o christ_n except_o you_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n do_v not_o or_o will_v not_o
