be_v i_o think_v here_o to_o have_v show_v that_o those_o duty_n which_o the_o church_n of_o england_n now_o require_v of_o we_o be_v by_o those_o day_n require_v of_o the_o primitive_a presbyter_n and_o if_o so_o then_o archippus_n his_o duty_n be_v not_o as_o the_o popish_a priest_n to_o offer_v propitiatory_a sacrifice_n for_o the_o quick_a and_o the_o dead_a but_o to_o read_v the_o holy_a

shall_v wave_v they_o and_o only_o observe_v that_o archippus_n can_v not_o so_o take_v heed_n to_o his_o ministry_n as_o to_o fulfil_v it_o unless_o he_o do_v perform_v they_o all_o in_o a_o due_a

have_v see_v that_o he_o take_v but_o little_a or_o no_o heed_n unto_o they_o he_o can_v not_o therefore_o be_v say_v to_o take_v heed_n to_o his_o ministry_n that_o he_o may_v fulfil_v it_o unless_o he_o do_v perform_v the_o several_a part_n and_o duty_n of_o it_o as_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v perform_v not_o that_o archippus_n be_v to_o study_v how_o to_o speak_v with_o the_o entice_a word_n of_o man_n wisdom_n that_o he_o may_v have_v praise_n from_o man_n but_o that_o he_o be_v in_o the_o exercise_n of_o his_o ministry_n to_o keep_v a_o conscience_n void_a of_o offence_n both_o towards_o god_n and_o towards_o all_o man_n and_o in_o order_n hereunto_o it_o be_v necessary_a for_o he_o to_o be_v faithful_a holy_a and_o constant_a therein_o 2._o 1_o cor._n 4.1_o 2._o archippus_n

his_o ministry_n we_o know_v be_v to_o teach_v and_o dispense_v the_o gospel_n and_o what_o i_o pray_v be_v the_o gospel_n be_v it_o a_o piece_n of_o book-learning_n that_o float_v in_o the_o brain_n
