shall_v appear_v that_o they_o see_v many_o thing_n but_o keep_v they_o not_o i_o pray_v you_o confer_v the_o place_n and_o it_o can_v never_o be_v prove_v that_o any_o of_o they_o be_v so_o blind_a

the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n to_o make_v the_o son_n of_o aaron_n sacrifice_v at_o jerusalem_n to_o be_v priest_n now_o that_o the_o corrupt_a allowance_n of_o the_o church_n can_v make_v our_o

good_a that_o the_o church_n be_v further_o and_o more_o sound_o satissy_v by_o you_o in_o these_o 2._o point_n which_o you_o alone_o in_o our_o church_n have_v public_o call_v in_o question_n and_o for_o my_o own_o part_n when_o you_o have_v do_v i_o know_v not_o who_o will_v be_v your_o adversary_n i_o see_v no_o reason_n why_o i_o shall_v deal_v in_o controversy_n of_o so_o small_a gain_n of_o this_o i_o be_o assure_v that_o neither_o popish_a priest_n nor_o any_o other_o ignorant_a guide_n be_v minister_n whether_o the_o element_n administer_v by_o they_o be_v a_o sacrament_n or_o no_o look_v you_o to_o that_o which_o have_v in_o your_o treatise_n debate_v that_o which_o my_o writing_n never_o call_v into_o question_n if_o you_o will_v needs_o prove_v reader_n to_o be_v minister_n

the_o service_n of_o the_o everliving_a god_n the_o slenderness_n of_o the_o reason_n be_v apparent_a in_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o the_o book_n i_o have_v far_o show_v the_o same_o thither_o i_o be_o to_o refer_v you_o and_o the_o reader_n now_o i_o can_v well_o overpasse_v these_o two_o point_n because_o of_o themselves_o they_o contain_v nothing_o that_o i_o have_v withstand_v but_o in_o as_o much_o as_o you_o have_v not_o only_o ground_v they_o upon_o false_a principle_n and_o such_o as_o in_o no_o wise_a can_v be_v warraunt_v by_o the_o canon_n of_o the_o word_n but_o also_o infer_v upon_o their_o grant_n that_o our_o reader_n be_v minister_n and_o consequent_o that_o it_o be_v no_o sin_n to_o communicate_v with_o they_o i_o be_o first_o to_o set_v down_o the_o state_n of_o the_o question_n which_o in_o deed_n be_v and_o aught_o to_o be_v decide_v between_o you_o and_o i_o concern_v the_o element_n administer_v both_o by_o popish_a priest_n and_o other_o unpreach_a minister_n and_o second_o to_o examine_v the_o ground_n whereby_o you_o prove_v the_o element_n already_o deliver_v by_o they_o to_o be_v a_o sacrament_n which_o you_o know_v i_o do_v not_o deny_v to_o be_v so_o other_o and_o this_o be_v the_o point_n that_o concern_v our_o state_n rather_o than_o the_o other_o the_o question_n therefore_o be_v not_o whether_o the_o one_o or_o the_o other_o of_o they_o have_v deliver_v a_o sacrament_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o action_n do_v but_o whether_o a_o christian_n go_v unto_o they_o for_o those_o holy_a seal_n may_v be_v assure_v that_o he_o can_v receive_v the_o same_o at_o their_o hand_n i_o affirm_v that_o we_o can_v not_o m._n some_o take_v it_o grant_v that_o we_o may_v my_o warrant_n be_v out_o of_o the_o word_n because_o there_o be_v no_o promise_n make_v to_o we_o therein_o that_o the_o action_n celebrate_v by_o such_o man_n be_v a_o sacramental_a action_n and_o where_o there_o be_v no_o promise_n there_o can_v be_v no_o assurance_n because_o our_o assurance_n arise_v only_o of_o faith_n which_o must_v be_v ground_v upon_o the_o promise_n set_v down_o in_o the_o word_n we_o have_v no_o promise_n that_o they_o can_v deliver_v we_o a_o sacrament_n because_o they_o be_v no_o minister_n for_o they_o only_o be_v enjoin_v by_o our_o saviour_n christ_n to_o deliver_v a_o sacrament_n 28.18.19_o matth._n 28.18.19_o neither_o do_v we_o know_v what_o he_o can_v deliver_v which_o be_v no_o minister_n so_o that_o the_o question_n be_v now_o grow_v to_o this_o issue_n whether_o popish_a priest_n and_o our_o unpreachinge_a minister_n be_v minister_n or_o no_o who_o if_o i_o can_v prove_v to_o be_v none_o than_o the_o matter_n be_v clear_a that_o no_o man_n go_v unto_o they_o for_o the_o sacrament_n can_v assure_v himself_o there_o
