none_o of_o these_o in_o truth_n do_v make_v account_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o three_o part_n of_o our_o text_n part_n wherein_o be_v set_v down_o what_o every_o minister_n ought_v to_o preach_v namely_o the_o gospel_n they_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o deliver_v the_o counsel_n of_o man_n the_o tradition_n of_o the_o father_n the_o statute_n of_o earthly_a prince_n or_o the_o authority_n of_o mortell_a man_n but_o as_o they_o be_v the_o servant_n of_o jesus_n christ_n prince_n of_o all_o prince_n 1_o so_o be_v they_o bind_v only_o to_o preach_v his_o gospel_n 3_o the_o true_a prophet_n never_o speak_v of_o themselves_o to_o the_o people_n but_o as_o they_o receive_v warn_v from_o the_o lord_n they_o have_v no_o authority_n to_o speak_v their_o own_o word_n nor_o the_o word_n of_o any_o mortal_a man_n the_o apostle_n may_v not_o teach_v their_o own_o doctrine_n 28.20_o but_o only_o that_o which_o they_o have_v receive_v from_o their_o master_n who_o enjoin_v they_o to_o teach_v all_o thing_n what_o soever_o he_o have_v command_v they_o go_v say_v he_o and_o preach_v the_o gospel_n 16._o the_o holy_a apostle_n write_v to_o the_o corinthian_n 11.23_o avouch_v that_o he_o receive_v of_o the_o lord_n that_o which_o he_o deliver_v to_o they_o 15.3_o whereby_o we_o may_v see_v all_o these_o teacher_n confute_v which_o stand_v upon_o the_o authority_n of_o man_n which_o add_v or_o diminish_v any_o thing_n from_o the_o scripture_n which_o join_v their_o own_o fantasy_n and_o the_o tradition_n of_o man_n with_o the_o holy_a pure_a and_o perfect_a word_n of_o god_n woe_n be_v to_o those_o son_n of_o vanity_n for_o in_o deed_n they_o preach_v not_o the_o gospel_n they_o preach_v not_o christ_n but_o themselves_o they_o deface_v and_o weaken_v the_o authority_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n 19_o the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v a_o perfect_a law_n convert_n soul_n 3._o the_o scripture_n be_v able_a to_o make_v the_o man_n of_o god_n absolute_a and_o perfect_a to_o all_o good_a work_n the_o lord_n say_v by_o his_o prophet_n he_o that_o have_v a_o dream_n 23.28_o let_v he_o tell_v a_o dream_n and_o he_o that_o have_v my_o word_n let_v he_o speak_v my_o word_n faithful_o and_o what_o be_v the_o chaff_n to_o the_o wheat_n say_v the_o lord_n be_v not_o my_o word_n even_o like_o a_o fire_n say_v the_o lord_n and_o like_o a_o hammer_n that_o break_v the_o stone_n our_o saviour_n in_o the_o gospel_n speak_v against_o such_o teacher_n say_v ●_o in_o vain_a they_o worship_v i_o teach_v the_o doctrine_n and_o precept_n of_o man_n let_v we_o remember_v that_o which_o be_v speak_v in_o the_o last_o chapter_n of_o the_o revelation_n 22.18_o i_o protest_v unto_o every_o man_n that_o hear_v the_o pprophecy_n of_o this_o book_n if_o any_o man_n add_v unto_o these_o thing_n god_n shall_v add_v unto_o he_o the_o plague_n that_o be_v write_v in_o this_o book_n and_o if_o any_o man_n shall_v diminish_v of_o the_o word_n of_o this_o pprophecy_n god_n shall_v take_v away_o his_o part_n out_o of_o the_o book_n of_o life_n and_o out_o of_o the_o holy_a city_n and_o from_o these_o thing_n which_o be_v write_v in_o this_o book_n woe_n be_v to_o they_o which_o preach_v and_o yet_o preach_v not_o the_o gospel_n but_o that_o we_o may_v know_v the_o better_a how_o the_o gospel_n shall_v be_v preach_v let_v we_o consider_v a_o little_a what_o it_o be_v and_o what_o it_o contain_v the_o evangelist_n call_v it_o the_o gospel_n of_o the_o kingdom_n 13.16_o saint_n paul_n accoumpt_v it_o that_o which_o be_v

and_o use_n of_o the_o same_o history_n 24.46_o as_o touch_v the_o first_o namely_o the_o history_n of_o christ_n it_o be_v sommary_o comprehend_v under_o his_o passion_n and_o resurrection_n the_o

repentance_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n shall_v be_v preach_v in_o his_o name_n among_o all_o nation_n to_o this_o agree_v the_o holy_a apostle_n saint_n peter_n 5.30_o when_o as_o he_o say_v with_o other_o the_o apostle_n to_o the_o counsel_n and_o chief_a priest_n the_o god_n of_o our_o father_n have_v raise_v up_o jesus_n who_o you_o slay_v and_o hang_v on_o a_o tree_n he_o have_v god_n lift_v up_o with_o his_o right_a hand_n to_o be_v a_o prince_n and_o a_o saviour_n to_o give_v repentance_n unto_o israel_n and_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n by_o this_o we_o may_v see_v how_o the_o gospel_n must_v be_v preach_v the_o people_n must_v be_v teach_v what_o christ_n have_v do_v for_o they_o the_o whole_a story_n of_o his_o incarnation_n conception_n birth_n suffering_n resurrection_n and_o

this_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o show_v what_o christ_n have_v do_v to_o rehearse_v the_o story_n of_o his_o incarnation_n but_o also_o the_o minister_n must_v be_v careful_a to_o preach_v the_o use_n the_o end_n and_o fruit_n of_o the_o same_o story_n which_o be_v that_o the_o people_n may_v repent_v be_v turn_v unfeigned_o unto_o god_n and_o so_o by_o faith_n make_v partaker_n of_o remission_n

of_o the_o gospel_n for_o it_o be_v a_o schoolmaster_n to_o bring_v we_o to_o christ_n this_o then_o be_v necessary_o require_v of_o every_o minister_n free_o and_o bold_o to_o reproove_v sin_n in_o
