to_o have_v command_v his_o apostle_n to_o teach_v their_o disciple_n to_o observe_v i_o proceed_v further_o to_o show_v the_o perpetuity_n of_o these_o foresay_a public_a charge_n of_o the_o church_n which_o be_v the_o thing_n i_o have_v in_o hand_n the_o evangelist_n say_v that_o our_o saviour_n add_v to_o his_o former_a charge_n and_o commandment_n a_o most_o comfortable_a promise_n say_v

word_n by_o sign_n that_o follow_v the_o meaning_n therefore_o of_o the_o promise_n be_v that_o the_o lord_n will_v bless_v the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n th'administration_n of_o the_o sacrament_n and_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o discipline_n which_o he_o have_v deliver_v they_o to_o the_o good_a of_o his_o church_n in_o their_o hand_n for_o their_o time_n in_o such_o sort_n as_o the_o quality_n of_o their_o apostolical_a calling_n do_v require_v in_o extraordinary_a gift_n and_o assistance_n and_o after_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o such_o as_o shall_v be_v appoint_v for_o the_o ordinary_a service_n of_o his_o people_n according_a as_o their_o ordinary_a function_n shall_v need_v even_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n which_o can_v not_o be_v if_o the_o office_n

of_o the_o perpetuity_n of_o these_o foresay_a public_a function_n in_o the_o church_n it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o apostle_n write_v to_o timothy_n to_o teach_v he_o how_o to_o behave_v himself_o
