of_o galilee_n though_o it_o be_v but_o a_o lake_n for_o the_o jew_n use_v to_o call_v any_o abundance_n of_o water_n a_o sea_n as_o the_o brazen_a sea_n in_o the_o temple_n of_o solomon_n so_o call_v

call_v peter_n and_z andrew_z his_o brother_n these_o be_v not_o the_o first_o that_o our_o saviour_n call_v to_o be_v his_o disciple_n for_o philip_n be_v call_v john_n 1.43_o before_o john_n baptist_n be_v cast_v into_o prison_n neither_o be_v this_o the_o first_o time_n that_o our_o saviour_n see_v they_o john_n 1.37_o cast_v a_o net_n into_o thesea_n for_o they_o be_v fisher_n 1._o we_o do_v general_o read_v in_o scripture_n that_o those_o man_n to_o who_o god_n show_v any_o great_a revelation_n or_o bestow_v any_o great_a blessing_n he_o do_v it_o in_o the_o time_n when_o they_o

time_n therefore_o to_o be_v teach_v of_o god_n do_v not_o exclude_v the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n but_o rather_o include_v it_o therefore_o i_o answer_v 3._o that_o to_o be_v teach_v of_o god_n be_v to_o be_v teach_v of_o god_n in_o his_o word_n which_o i_o prove_v by_o several_a place_n of_o scripture_n 1._o as_o our_o saviour_n say_v he_o that_o hear_v you_o hear_v i_o and_o he_o that_o hear_v i_o hear_v he_o that_o send_v i_o matth._n 10_o 40._o luk._n 10.16_o joh._n 13.20_o and_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o people_n of_o god_n have_v think_v so_o that_o they_o have_v be_v teach_v of_o god_n in_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n act._n 10.33_o and_o therefore_o you_o must_v not_o oppose_v those_o thing_n that_o be_v coordinate_a and_o our_o saviour_n explain_v this_o very_a place_n that_o it_o be_v to_o be_v teach_v of_o god_n in_o his_o word_n for_o christ_n make_v to_o hear_v and_o learn_v of_o the_o father_n to_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o those_o word_n for_o hear_v signify_v the_o outward_a and_o learn_v the_o inward_a teach_n of_o god_n for_o if_o by_o hear_v a_o inward_a hear_n shall_v be_v mean_v than_o it_o be_v all_o one_o with_o learning_n 4._o if_o these_o word_n be_v to_o be_v take_v in_o your_o sense_n it_o do_v more_o clear_o argue_v that_o private_a instruction_n and_o conference_n be_v needless_a then_o that_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n be_v so_o for_o in_o private_a conference_n and_o instruction_n every_o one_o be_v more_o proper_o say_v to_o teach_v his_o neighbour_n then_o in_o the_o public_a ministry_n then_o 5._o you_o of_o all_o people_n shall_v least_o speak_v against_o the_o necessity_n of_o preach_v since_o by_o your_o practice_n you_o be_v so_o far_o from_o judge_v it_o unfit_a for_o any_o one_o to_o preach_v that_o you_o judge_v it_o fit_a for_o every_o one_o that_o will_v to_o preach_v if_o preach_v be_v fit_a why_o do_v you_o condemn_v it_o if_o not_o why_o do_v you_o use_v it_o 6._o this_o place_n be_v a_o prophecy_n of_o abundance_n of_o preach_v for_o the_o time_n wherein_o his_o prophet_n live_v be_v such_o that_o as_o in_o rome_n and_o spain_n if_o any_o one_o come_v to_o know_v the_o truth_n of_o god_n it_o must_v be_v by_o private_a conference_n and_o instruction_n as_o it_o be_v one_o neighbour_n teach_v of_o another_o as_o the_o public_a preach_v of_o the_o word_n there_o be_v none_o but_o false_a prophet_n that_o be_v teacher_n among_o they_o 7._o it_o be_v not_o unworthy_a consider_v whether_o this_o may_v be_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o place_n viz._n that_o in_o these_o sad_a time_n the_o people_n be_v so_o general_o addict_v to_o idolatry_n and_o mislead_v by_o the_o false_a prophet_n that_o few_o there_o be_v that_o know_v whether_o baal_n or_o jehovah_n be_v the_o true_a god_n but_o the_o prophet_n tell_v they_o that_o concern_v that_o point_n to_o know_v that_o jehovah_n be_v the_o lord_n the_o time_n shall_v come_v that_o they_o shall_v not_o need_v instruction_n as_o if_o one_o shall_v say_v that_o the_o time_n shall_v come_v in_o turkey_n that_o no_o one_o shall_v need_v to_o teach_v they_o whether_o christ_n or_o mahomet_n be_v the_o true_a prophet_n anabap._n but_o be_v it_o not_o plain_o say_v that_o you_o have_v a_o unction_n from_o the_o holy_a one_o and_o you_o know_v all_o thing_n and_o you_o need_v not_o that_o any_o man_n teach_v you_o author_n if_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o place_n shall_v be_v that_o none_o need_v to_o teach_v they_o the_o apostle_n will_v seem_v to_o contradict_v himself_o for_o why_o do_v the_o apostle_n write_v this_o epistle_n to_o they_o if_o they_o know_v all_o thing_n and_o need_v not_o that_o any_o man_n shall_v teach_v they_o 2._o it_o be_v against_o the_o whole_a current_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n to_o interpret_v these_o word_n of_o the_o immediate_a teach_n exclusive_o to_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n be_v evident_o contrary_a to_o the_o current_n of_o the_o gospel_n what_o need_v we_o pray_v that_o god_n will_v send_v labourer_n into_o his_o vineyard_n what_o need_n paul_n leave_v timothy_n at_o crete_n to_o ordain_v minister_n in_o every_o city_n if_o in_o

3._o and_o that_o the_o ministry_n be_v to_o continue_v to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n be_v as_o evident_a our_o saviour_n promise_v to_o be_v with_o his_o apostle_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n with_o they_o as_o to_o their_o person_n he_o can_v not_o be_v to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n because_o they_o die_v but_o with_o their_o successor_n he_o be_v be_v and_o will_v be_v eph._n 4.11_o 12_o 13_o 3._o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o word_n be_v as_o if_o the_o apostle_n shall_v say_v do_v not_o you_o imagine_v the_o truth_n you_o have_v learn_v you_o have_v learn_v of_o man_n only_o for_o it_o be_v the_o unction_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n that_o have_v anoint_v you_o that_o have_v teach_v you_o who_o teach_n be_v so_o true_a and_o so_o full_a that_o you_o need_v not_o that_o any_o man_n shall_v teach_v you_o upon_o this_o account_n as_o if_o there_o be_v some_o defect_n as_o if_o you_o have_v not_o be_v teach_v all_o thing_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n so_o there_o be_v three_o thing_n that_o the_o apostle_n will_v prove_v to_o they_o in_o those_o word_n 1._o that_o what_o they_o have_v learn_v be_v not_o proper_o from_o man_n though_o by_o man_n but_o from_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n 2._o that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n have_v not_o be_v defective_a as_o to_o necessary_n in_o his_o teach_n of_o they_o 3._o much_o less_o that_o the_o spirit_n teach_n be_v false_a as_o the_o seducer_n pretend_v and_o the_o word_n be_v set_v down_o clear_o in_o reference_n to_o their_o seducer_n the_o word_n immediate_o go_v before_o the_o 28._o and_o 27._o ver_fw-la the_o apostle_n clear_o speak_v concern_v their_o seducer_n who_o tell_v they_o that_o they_o be_v all_o this_o while_n mislead_v and_o so_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o these_o thing_n i_o have_v write_v unto_o you_o concern_v they_o that_o seduce_v you_o for_o that_o it_o be_v plain_a those_o passage_n be_v to_o be_v expound_v not_o concern_v their_o teacher_n but_o

the_o daystar_n arise_v that_o be_v while_o we_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n to_o teach_v we_o we_o be_v to_o use_v the_o light_n of_o the_o scripture_n but_o afterward_o the_o light_n of_o the_o

that_o light_n and_o those_o teach_n of_o the_o spirit_n which_o every_o saint_n have_v as_o soon_o as_o he_o be_v regenerate_v for_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o those_o to_o who_o the_o apostle_n
