by
a
faithfull
servant
of
God
,
&
minister
of
the
gospell
at
a
generall
visitation
.
The

Col.

And
say
to
Archippus
,
take
heede
to
the
ministerie
,
which
thou
hast
received
in
the
Lord
,
that
thou
fulfill
it
.
AFter
the
Apostle
Paul
in
the
first
part
of
the
Epistle
had
sett
downe
the
summe
of
the
Christian
doctrine
,
&
therein
shewed
what
Christ
was
,
both
concerning
his
person
,
&
his
office
,
&
how
we
are
made
partakers
of
the
benefits
of
both
;
&
in
the
second
part
thereof
had
disputed
with
the
false
Apostles
,
&
confuted
their
false
doctrine
&
corruptions
:
&
in
the
third
place
had
sett
downe
precepts
concerning
manners
&
exhortations
to
a
Christian
,
adding
in
the
end
of
all
,
freindly
&
brotherly
salutations
:
he
comes
to
admonish
them
of
a
duty
which
they
were
to
performes
to
Archippus
their
minister
,
in
theise
words
.
Say
to
Archippus
take
heede
to
the
ministerie
&c.
It
appeareth
by
theise
words
that
Archippus
was
a
minister
of
the
church
at
Colossia
;
&
because
he
was
negligent
in
his
dutye
,
or
at
least
not
so
diligent
&
faithfull
as
both
he
should
&
might
have
beene
,
he
therefore
willeth
the
Colossians
to
admonish
him
of
his
fault
,
&
to
stirre
him
vp
to
a
carefull
dis-scharge
of
his
ministerie
.
Say
to
Archippus
take
heede
to
the
ministerie
&c.
As
if
he
should
have
saide
:
be
vigilant
&
circumspect
,
be
carefull
&
watchfull
,
diligently
consider
,
&
marke
earnestly
what
thy
calling
is
,
&
of
what
great
accounte
it
is
:
it
is
the
ministerie
,
the
preaching
of
the
word
,
the
instructing
of
the
people
,
which
thou
hast
received
,
not
of
man
,
but
of
the
Lord
:
both
,
of
the
Lord
who
is
the
authour
of
the
ministerie
,
&
for
the
Lord
who
is
the
end
of
the
ministerie
.
Thou
hast
received
it
by
his
grace
,
thou
hast
received
it
for
his
glory
;
let
not
this
grace
be
in
vaine
in
thee
,
let
not
this
glory
be
neglected
by
thee
but
so
walke
in
thy
ministerie
that
thou
fulfill
it
:
absolve
&
perfect
,
&
finish
,
&
discharge
that
charge
,
which
is
layde
vpon
thee
.
The
summe
then
of
theise
words
is
a
rousing
of
negligent
ministers
:
wherein
we
may
note
two
things
:
first
,
the
persons
commanded
to
doe
this
duty
.
Secondly
,
the
manner
how
,
namely
by
exhortation
,
wherein
observe
two
things
further
.
First
,
wherevnto
they
must
exhort
him
to
a
fulfilling
of
his
ministerie
.
Secondly
,
the
reason
whereby
they
stirre
him
vp
to
the
same
drawne
from
the
authoritie
of
God
who
is
the
authour
of
the
ministerie
.
Thou
hast
received
it
in
the
Lord
.
Say
to
Archippus
:
]
who
must
say
to
Archippus
thus
,
namely
the
Colossians
to
whome
Paul
writeth
.
Therefore
it
is
the
dutye
of
the
people
to
admonish
the
minister
of
his
ministerie
,
Doct.
1.
&
to
put
him
in
mind
of
the
discharge
of
his
dutye
if
he
be
negligent
therein
.
For
otherwise
Paul
might
have
admonished
Archippus
himselfe
by
writing
vnto
him
some
particular
letter
,
but
in
that
he
biddeth
the
Colossians
to
doe
it
,
he
sheweth
it
a
dutye
belonging
to
the
people
to
iogg
their
minister
in
the
ellbowe
as
it
were
,
to
put
him
in
mind
of
his
charge
,
&
bid
him
remember
his
office
&
ministerie
&
by
exhortation
to
excite
&
stirre
him
vp
to
a
faithfull
dis-charge
of
his
dutye
.
A
strange
&
vnreasonable
doctrine
may
some
men
saye
;
for
what
should
the
stones
come
tumbling
out
of
the
quarrie
,
and
saye
to
the
builder
come
cutt
me
and
square
me
,
and
hew
me
thus
?
or
should
the
tree
come
dauncing
out
of
the
wood
and
say
to
the
Carpenter
cutt
me
and
plaine
me
,
or
frame
me
thus
,
or
thus
;
that
I
may
be
fit
for
the
building
?
what
shall
the
sheepe
come
to
the
shepheard
and
put
him
in
mind
of
his
dutye
?
So
,
should
the
people
come
and
admonish
the
minister
,
and
tell
him
of
his
ministerie
?
right
even
soe
;
1.
Pet.
2.5
.
for
they
are
no
dead
stones
that
lie
in
the
quarrie
,
but
as
Peter
calleth
them
they
are
living
stones
which
can
turne
themselves
to
the
hammer
,
and
trees
of
righteousnes
(
as
the
Prophet
calleth
them
)
which
offer
themselves
to
the
Carpenter
:
Esa.
61.3
.
they
are
reasonable
sheepe
,
Rom.
12.
โ
which
can
bring
their
cause
to
the
Shepheard
.
Their
soules
are
committed
to
the
care
of
the
minister
to
be
taught
and
instructed
,
and
comforted
,
and
therefore
as
they
regard
their
owne
soules
and
salvations
,
they
must
regard
the
ministers
dutye
.
As
was
the
case
of
that
ship
which
was
covered
with
waves
when
Christ
was
a
sleepe
,
such
is
the
case
of
a
congregation
when
the
minister
is
idle
and
negligent
,
as
lulled
a
sleepe
in
the
cradle
of
securitie
.
The
disciples
feared
lest
through
Christs
sleepeing
,
they
should
have
been
drownea
:
and
that
congregation
may
feare
lest
through
their
Pastours
negligence
,
it
be
damned
.
Therefore
as
then
the
disciples
,
in
love
of
their
lives
went
to
Christ
and
a
woke
him
:
so
it
behooveth
the
people
for
love
of
their
soules
to
goe
to
their
Pastour
,
and
awake
him
,
and
stirre
him
vp
that
he
looke
about
him
.
In
other
matters
we
are
carefull
to
put
him
in
mind
with
whome
we
deale
to
deale
faithfullie
with
vs
,
and
shall
we
be
lesse
carefull
in
this
which
is
the
maine
pointe
?
In
the
hand
of
the
Miller
we
loose
but
our
meale
,
of
the
Farrier
but
our
horse
,
of
the
Taylour
but
our
garment
,
of
the
Lawyer
but
our
money
,
of
the
Physition
but
our
bodyes
:
but
in
the
hands
of
an
vnfaithfull
minister
a
man
looseth
his
soule
and
his
everlasting
portion
in
heaven
.
If
then
we
say
to
the
Miller
,
looke
to
my
meale
:
to
the
Farrier
,
have
a
care
of
my
horse
:
to
the
Taylour
,
spoyle
not
my
garment
:
to
the
Lawyer
,
tender
my
case
:
to
the
Physition
,
regard
my
health
:
how
much
more
should
we
say
vnto
the
minister
(
if
he
be
vnfaithfull
)
looke
to
oursoules
&
take
heede
to
the
ministerie
which
thou
hast
received
in
the
Lord
.

[
When
the
Shunamites
sonne
was
dead
shee
went
to
the
Prophet
to
tell
him
of
it
that
he
might
come
and
restore
her
dead
sonne
to
life
againe
:
the
Prophet
sent
his
servant
Gehazi
,
with
a
staffe
but
shee
would
not
be
content
with
that
but
tooke
holde
of
him
and
would
not
leave
him
,
but
he
himselfe
must
come
.
As
carefull
as
the
Shunamite
was
for
her
dead
child
:
so
carefull
ought
the
people
to
be
for
their
dead
soules
:
as
shee
went
to
the
Prophet
to
have
her
dead
sonne
raysed
:
so
must
they
to
their
minister
to
have
their
dead
soules
quickened
.
As
shee
did
not
content
her selfe
with
the
Prophets
servant
but
tooke
hold
of
the
Prophet
hinselfe
so
must
the
people
not
content
themselves
with
ignorant
substitutes
of
others
,
but
take
hold
of
the
Pastour
himselfe
and
he
shall
have
enough
to
recover
their
dead
soules
to
life
,
though
he
goeth
himselfe
,
and
putteth
mouth
to
mouth
.
This
being
the
dutie
of
the
people
toward
their
minister
to
bid
him
take
heede
to
his
ministerie
what
if
I
should
expostulate
with
you
that
are
to
your
minister
,
as
theise
Colossians
to
Archippus
?
Vse
.
Tell
me
you
that
complaine
of
your
minister
that
he
is
ignorant
,
or
negligent
,
or
vnfaithfull
,
did
you
ever
say
vnto
him
take
heed
to
thy
ministerie
!
did
you
ever
stirre
him
vp
,
and
incite
him
therevnto
?
alas
no!
your
owne
consciences
tell
you
that
you
have
failed
heerein
!
&
there
hath
been
both
in
the
minister
toward
you
:
&
in
you
toward
the
minister
,
a
carelesnes
by
consent
each
with
other
:
he
,
not
regarding
whither
he
did
dis-charg
his
ministerie
or
no
:
and
you
,
not
careing
whither
you
did
admonish
him
or
no
,
and
thus
Archippus
hath
been
long
a-sleepe
because
the
Colossians
did
not
awake
him
.
Thus
the
ministers
have
neglected
their
dutyes
because
you
have
not
said
to
them
as
heere
the
Colossians
must
say
to
Archippus
take
heed
to
the
ministerie
&c.
Say
to
Archippus
]
The
Colossians
must
admonish
Archippus
and
Archippus
must
be
content
to
be
admonished
of
the
Colossians
.
Therefore
.
The
minister
must
not
refuse
to
be
admonished
,
Doct.
1.
&
put
in
mind
of
his
dutye
by
the
people
whome
he
should
teach
:
but
as
it
is
his
dutie
to
teach
others
,
so
he
must
shew
himselfe
teachable
,
and
willing
to
be
instructed
of
others
:
still
remembring
though
honourable
his
calling
be
,
excellent
his
authoritie
,
great
his
power
,
yet
he
is
not
exempted
from
lawes
,
nor
priviledged
from
the
admonition
of
his
people
,
but
both
may
and
when
occasion
is
offered
must
be
admonished
,
even
of
them
that
are
as
inferiour
to
him
,
as
the
Colossians
were
to
Archippus
.
2.
Kings
5
As
when
Elisha
commanded
Naaman
to
wash
himselfe
seven
times
in
Iordan
he
turned
about
in
a
snuffe
,
&
went
away
in
displeasure
,
but
his
servant
came
vnto
him
and
said
:
Father
if
the
Prophet
had
commanded
thee
a
greater
matter
,
wouldst
thou
not
have
done
it
?
how
much
more
,
when
he
saith
vnto
thee
wash
and
be
cleane
.
Then
went
he
downe
&
washed
himselfe
,
2.
Kings
5.13.14
.
and
was
clensed
.
Surely
if
this
noble
man
had
disdeined
the
admonition
of
his
servant
,
he
would
have
continued
a
leaper
still
,
and
had
never
been
cleensed
:
so
if
the
ministers
in
the
pride
of
hearte
should
scorne
the
admonition
of
their
poore
Parishioners
,
surely
they
should
continue
negligent
still
,
and
would
never
be
reformed
.
Therefore
as
he
with
a
good
hearte
endured
the
voyce
of
his
servants
,
and
did
as
they
counselled
him
:
So
shall
it
be
good
for
you
(
men
and
brethren
as
many
as
are
negligent
in
your
duties
)
to
heare
the
admonition
of
your
people
,
and
to
obey
them
.
Moses
that
man
of
God
,
though
indued
with
the
H.
Ghost
,
though
magnified
with
the
guift
of
workeing
wonders
,
though
acquainted
with
policie
,
and
managing
matters
of
state
,
as
may
seeme
by
his
bringing
vp
in
Pharaohs
courte
,
yet
disdeined
he
not
to
be
better
instructed
in
the
manner
of
good
government
by
Iethro
,
Exod.
18.17
.
inferiour
to
himselfe
.
The
eye
cannot
saye
to
the
foote
I
have
no
neede
of
thee
,
nor
the
head
to
the
hand
I
have
no
neede
of
thee
,
nor
the
Pastour
to
the
people
in
matter
of
admonition
,
I
have
no
neede
of
you
.
Away
then
with
that
proud
,
haughtie
and
disdeinfull
mind
that
is
not
ashamed
to
be
negligent
in
his
ministerie
and
yet
scorneth
to
be
admonished
of
his
people
,
and
to
be
put
in
mind
of
his
ministerie
?
awaye
then
with
theise
scornefull
speeches
(
the
very
signes
&
tokens
of
a
proud
hearte
)
shall
I
be
reprooved
by
him
?
or
shall
a
taylour
or
shooe-maker
come
and
tell
me
my
dutie
?
a
hatter
or
mercer
or
such
like
,
admonish
me
of
my
ministerie
?
why
,
I
doubt
not
but
among
theise
Colossians
,
there
were
both
taylours
and
shooe-makers
,
and
of
most
occupations
,
and
yet
doeth
Paul
will
them
to
tell
Archippus
of
his
dutie
:
&
without
doubt
he
would
faine
have
Archippus
contented
there
withall
.
Therefore
let
vs
of
the
ministerie
send
home
this
pride
to
the
Eldest
sonne
of
pride
,
the
beast
of
Rome
,
Vse
.
that
man
of
sinne
that
child
of
perdition
,
whoe
sitteth
in
his
chaire
of
mischeife
,
mooveth
like
an
oracle
,
and
both
thinketh
in
his
heart
,
and
speaketh
with
his
mouth
,
that
no
man
may
say
to
him
:
Domine
quid
it
ร
facis
!
Sir
,
why
doe
you
thus
?
let
vs
rather
remember
that
Apollos
though
an
eloquent
man
&
mightie
in
the
scriptures
,
though
fervent
in
spirit
,
and
a
diligent
Preacher
,
yet
he
refused
not
to
be
taught
more
perfectly
the
waye
of
the
Lord
by
Aquila
and
Priscilla
:
Act.
18
,
25.26
.
an
handy
craft
man
,
a
poore
tent-maker
,
nay
of
Priscilla
a
woeman
,
and
wife
of
Aquila
.
And
if
he
was
contented
to
be
taught
,
&
instructed
of
them
in
his
dutye
,
let
none
of
vs
disdeine
to
be
admonished
,
or
stirred
vp
in
his
dutye
by
those
that
are
committed
to
our
charge
.
Thus
much
of
the
persons
admonishing
and
such
as
are
to
be
admonished
;
now
of
the
admonition
it selfe
.
Take
heede
to
the
ministerie
which
thou
hast
received
in
ye
Lord
.
This
ministerie
which
he
must
take
heede
vnto
,
conteineth
all
the
dutyes
of
the
ministers
of
God
,
which
may
be
referred
to
theise
generall
heads
.
Mat.
28.19.20
.
First
to
the
preaching
of
the
word
.
Goe
pteach
the
Gospell
,
have
a
care
and
regard
that
all
the
commandements
be
kept
teaching
them
to
observe
all
things
whatsoever
I
commande
you
.
Secondly
to
the
administration
of
the
Sacraments
.
Baptizing
them
in
the
name
of
the
Father
,
the
Sonne
,
and
the
H.
Ghost
.
Thirdly
,
to
private
inspection
by
reprooveing
Sinners
by
admonishing
,
exhorting
,
by
comforting
the
afflicted
&
those
which
are
cast
downe
,
&
all
to
this
end
,
that
the
elect
whome
sinne
hath
loosened
,
&
disjoynted
from
Christ
their
head
,
may
be
restored
to
their
place
againe
:
joyned
both
to
Christ
their
head
by
the
Spirit
,
and
one
to
another
by
love
,
which
is
it
Paul
speakes
of
Ephes.
4.12
.
That
also
(
saith
he
)
the
bodie
of
Christ
may
be
edified
and
built
vp
,
and
come
vnto
a
perfect
man
in
Christ
.
Which
shall
then
be
,
when
all
the
elect
shal
be
gathered
together
by
the
ministerie
of
the
word
:
which
the
Apostle
there
calleth
the

They
are

,

and
therefore
their
duty
is
to
shine
forth
by
heavenly
doctrine
to
enlighten
Gods
people
.
They
are

Salt

therefore
their
dutie
is
to
season

They

1.

therefore
must
edifie

They
are

and
therefore
it
is
their
part
to
fight
Gods
battailes
:
and
as
good
leaders
and
cheifeteines
to
instruct
Gods
people
well
in
this

They

and
therefore
their
dutye
is
to
declare
Gods
message
to
the
people
.
And
all
this
is
but
their
ministerie
,
now
for
the
fullfilling
and
dis-charge
of
this
ministerie
,
two
things
are
required
.
-
First
Knowledge
.
-
Secondly
faithfullnes
.
First
that
he
be
able
,
and
secondly
that
he
be
carefull
,
and
diligent
to
teach
Gods
people
.
Concerning
the
first
,
the
minister
of
God
must
not
be
onely
as
a
Spence
or
store-howse
,
wherein
God
hath
layd
vp
knowledge
,
as
a
good
howse-holder
doeth
Corne
in
a
garner
,
signified
by
that
in
the
Prophecie
of
Malachie
,
Mal.
2.7
.
that
the
Preists
lips
must
preserve
knowledge
,
and
for
want
thereof
God
hath
divorced
him
from
the
honour
of
the
ministerie
,
and
hath
pronounced
him
to
be
no
Preist
for
him
,
because
thou
hast
refused
knowledge
,
Hos.
4.6
.
I
will
also
refuse
thee
thou
shalt
be
no
Preist
to
me
.
But
he
must
have
the
wisdome
of
a
wise
steward
,
Luc.
12.24
.
that
knowes
how
to
give
Gods
children
,
or
howsehold
,
their
portion
of
meate
in
due
season
as
Christ
speakes
:
ministring
milke
to
those
that
are
but
babes
,
and
yonglings
in
Christ
,
and
strong
meate
to
those
of
riper
age
.
2.
Tim.
2.15
.
He
must
be
one
that
can
divide
the
word
of
truth
aright
,
being
as
skilfull
in
divideing
the
word
of
God
,
as
the
Levites
were
in
cutting
a
broad
the
beast
for
sacrifice
,
whence
that
phrase
of
divideing
the
word
seemes
to
be
borrowed
.
He
must
not
onely
be
learned
himselfe
,
1.
Ti.
3.2
.
but
which
is
more
,
apt
and
fit
to
teach
others
as
Paul
speakes
.
This
skilfulnes
of
the
minister
in
teaching
others
was
signified
in
the
old
Testament
,
not
onely
by
that
urim
&
Thummim
on
the
brest-plate
to
signifie
his
knowledge
and
holines
:
Ex.
28.30
.
but
also
by
the
bells
which
did
hang
on
the
skirts
of
the
Preists
garments

meaning
as
by
the
Pomegranates
he
should
smell
sweetely
with
the
odours
of
a
good
life
,
so
by
the
bells
that
he
should
sound
vnto
others
by
preaching
of
true
doctrine
,
by
the
sound
of
which
bells
he
was
to
be
heard
when
he
went
into
the
holy
place
,
&
when
he
came
out
vpon
paine
of
death
.
And
what
els
in
the
N.
Testament
did
the
H.
Ghost
in
the
likenes
of
tongues
signifie
?
he
descended
vpon
the
Apostles
,
not
in
the
likenes
of
hands
,
Act.

.
whereby
to
overcome
the
world
by
wordly
feare
,
nor
of

whereby
to
flee
from
the
rage
of
persequuting
ennimies
,
nor
of
eyes
and
eares
fitt
instruments
to
learne
:
but
in
the
likenes
of
tongues
,
to
teach
the
people
their
dutye
in
being
the
tongues
of
God
to
them
.
And
what
els
doe
all
their
names
declare
,
being
so
many
arguments
to
enforce
this
pointe
?
For
how
can
they
be
called
light
,
if
being
darke
themselves
they
cannot
send
out
the
blaze
of
true
th
to
enlighten
others
?
Or
salt
of
the
earth
,
if
being
vnsavourie
themselves
they
cannot
season
&
preserve
Gods
people
from
sinne
and
corruption
?
Or
Pastours
if
they
cannot
feede
the
flocke
of
Christ
with
the
foode
of
life
?
Or
Husband-men
and
cannot
plowe
Gods
ground
,
and
sowe
his
feede
?
Or
Stewards
if
they
cannot
,
or
doe
not
rule
his
howsehold
?
Or
Messengers
and
Ambassadours
if
they
cannot
speake
in
his
name
and
declare
his
message
,
and
ambassage
vnto
his
people
?
Or
builders
if
they
cannot
build
vp
Gods
spirituall
howse
?
Or
Capteines
if
they
knowe
not
how
to
fight
Gods
battailes
.
Neither
let
any
man
thinke
that
if
a
minister
be
able
to
reade
he
hath
sufficient
knowledge
,
Mat.
9.36
.
and
that
bare
readers
are
sufficient
ministers
,
Christ
greived
to
see
the
multitude
dispersed
as
sheepe
without
Shepheards
,
and
yet
had
they
Moses
read
in
their
Synagogues
even
every
Sabaoth
day
,
and
the
Prophets
,
as
may
be
gathered
by
Luke
in
the
Acts.
Act.
13.
Implying
that
readers
were
no
sufficient
Pastours
,
for
els
the
Iewes
in
their
Synagogues
(
as
we
have
in
our
churches
)
had
not
ben
without
Pastours
and
so
not
so
miserable
,
as
he
greived
they
were
,
when
he
considered
what
was
requisite
in
a
minister
,
namely
to
bring
back
that
which
is
gone
a
straye
,
and
to
preserve
from
daunger
,
to
heale
the
broken
,
to
bind
vp
the
wounded
,
and
the
like
.
For
which
cause
he
sends
his
Apostles
,
by
their
preaching
to
performe
that
which
they
by
their
reading
,
could
not
doe
.
And
if
to
have
the
law
and
the
Prophets
read
had
been
enough
,
then
had
the
Iewes
knowne
Christ
,
for
Moses
wrote
of
him
Ioh.
5.39.46
.
Ioh.
5.39
,
46.
And
among
the
Prophets
,
Esay
so
plainely
that
Ierome
sticks
not
to
call
him
an
Evangelicke
and
yet
the
noble-man
when
he
read
Esay
could
not
vnderstand
,
Act.
8.30.31
.
but
he
was
in
neede
of
Philip
to
come
&
preach
vnto
him
,
and
to
instruct
him
.
And
if
this
instruction
did
not
neede
,
but
that
the
ignorant
by
bare
reading
,
might
vnderstand
the
meaning
of
the
word
(
which
yet
is
impossible
)
yet
theise
of
greatest
knowledge
may
,
and
often
be
so
overtaken
,
and
surprized
with
passions
&
infirmities
,
that
they
have
neede
of
others
(
by
applying
of
the
word
)
to
heale
their
diseases
.
Whither
Moses
were
read
in
Davids
time
we
cannot
certainely
affirme
,
yet
certaine
it
is
that
David
whose
whole
delight
and
study
was
in
the
law
of
God
as
appeares
Psal.
119.
was
well
skilled
therein
:
so
that
his
knowledg
would
serve
him
to
conclude
,
that
he
hath
committed
murder
and
adulterie
,
and
as
sure
as
God
lived
,
was
the
child
of
God
and
yet
he
had
need
of
Nathan
to
applye
this
word
vnto
him
,
and
to
tell
him
he
was
the
man
.

So
that
we
see
how
necessarie
it
is
that
a
minister
should
have
,
not
knowledge
to
read
onely
(
for
that
children
,
and
woemen
have
)
but
to
preach
,
and
also
to
apply
the
word
to
the
soules
and
consciences
of
the
hearer
.
Vse
.
The
more
lamentable
is
the
state
of
the
church
in
whome-soever
the
fault
lieth
,
whither
in
them
that
should
provide
sufficient
living
,
and
will
not
,
as
it
is
in
some
Parishes
,
or
in
them
that
should
make
sufficient
ministers
,
and
doe
not
as
in
some
Bishops
:
or
in
them
that
should
present
able
Pastours
,
and
care
not
,
as
in
some
Patrones
.
But
in
whomesoever
the
faulte
is
,
lamentable
is
their
state
,
that
are
yet
as
sheepe
without
a
shepheard
,
as
an
army
of
simple
Souldiours
without
a
conducteur
.
If
the
estate
of
Israel
was
in
danger
,
when
through
the
tyrannie
of
the
Philistines
,
even
in
the
dayes
of
battaile
,
there
was
neither
speare
,
nor
sword
found
in
the
hand
of
any
of
the
people
,
but
onely
in
the
hand
of
Saul
,
and
Ionathan
:
how
,
not
dangerous
,
2.
sam.
13.22
.
but
almost
desperate
,
is
the
estate
of
any
thousands
of
our
people
,
who
not
onely
themselves
are
vn-armed
of
the
knowledge
of
God
,
but
even
Saul
&
Ionathan
toe
,
even
the
leaders
and
Commanders
want
the
armour
of
God
,
and
skill
how
to
vse
it
,
even
the
ministers
themselves
want
the
knowledge
of
Gods
word
,
and
skill
how
to
preach
it
.
Numb

What
marvell
then
though
the
people
perish
?
The
Lord
commanded
that
the
Arke
should
be
carried
by
none
but
Levites
,
for
so
he
speaketh
,
and
David
repeates
it
,
none
(
saith
he
)
ought
to
carry
the
Arke
of

the
Levites

Lord
had
chosen
them
to
beare
the
Arke
of

and
to
minister

him

,
therefore
when
this
ordinance
of
God
was
not

but
the
Arke
was
put
vpon
the

drawen
by

did
shake
it

and
the
Arke
of
God
had
almost
fallen
to
the
ground

right
so
hath
God
commanded
that
the
care
of
the
church
should
be
vpon
the
shoulders
of
preaching
ministers
onely
,
and
if
this
ordinance
be
not
observed

but
neglected
,
(
as
we

it
is

and
the
arke
be
drawne

the

be
committed

knowne

be
men
of

make
them
rulers
over

speakeing

And
shall
Pharaohs

and
shall

have
men

will
Pharaoh
have
none
to

men
skillfull

shall

thinke

fit
to
guide

and
teach
Gods
people

which
is
a

of

esteeme

as
to
judge
himselfe
insufficient
for
al
that
:
what
base
conceite
had
you
of

how

no

Consider

of
divine
studies
,
by
your
ignorance
.
For
as
in
times
past
the
people
haveing
a
Ghost
in
great
admiration
,
thought
that
to
be
wanting
in
the
religion
,
which
was
wanting
in
him
;
so
the
people
which
follow
you
to
be
instructed
by
you
,
seeing
the
lamentable
lookes
of
your
ignorance
,
thinke
that
to
be
wanting
in
the
minister
,
which
is
wanting
in
you
.
Consider
the
great
danger
both
of
your selves
,
and
the
people
whome
by
your
ignorance
you
keepe
in
continuall
ignorance
,
and
therefore
both
may
feare
that
fearfull
doome
pronounced
by
Christ

If
the

leade
the

,
both
shall
fall
into
the
ditch
.
If
Bezaleel
and
Aholiah
when
they
were
to
worke
in
the
tabernacle
,
had
not
knowledge
enough
(
though
they
were
work-men
before
)
but
had
neede
to
be

and
vnderstanding
,
in
knowledg
and
workman-ship
:
then
much
more
thinke
you
in
the
secrets
of
your
hearts
,
what
knowledge
is
required
of
you
who
worke
not
in
an
earthly
Tabernacle
,
but
in
the
building
vp
a
temple
for
God
to
dwell
more
speciallie
in
,
even
in
the
hearts
of
the
people
,
in
reareing
vp
a
chaire
of
estate
for
Christ
Iesus
to
sitt
&
rule
in
,
even
in
the
consciences
of
men
,
and
in
frameing
a
schoole
for
Christ
to
teach
even
in
the
soules
of
men
?
Sitt
downe
and
consider
that
which
Christ
shewed
,
before
you
entred
into
this
calling
,
to
be
considered
of
,
whither
you
be
sufficiently
armed
to
meete
your
enimies
that
come
against
you
:
if
not
,
let
not
ten
shekels
and
a
sute
of
apparel
,
and
meate
and
drinke
,
which
was
the
wages
Micha
gave
to
his
wandring
curate
,
Judg.
17.10
.
that
went
vp
and
downe
to
seeke
a
service
,
nay
let
not
a
thowsand
times
so
much
prevaile
with
you
to
incourage
you
heerein
,
as
the
feare
of
that
fearefull
speech
terrifie
you
:
when
you
admonish
not
a
wicked
man
of
his
wickednes
.
Nay
,
that
wicked
man
shall
die
in
his
sinns
,
but
his
blood
will
I
require
at
thy
hands
.
Ezek.
3.18
.
So
that
if
any
perish
through
ignorance
,
your
soule
standeth
for
their
soules
,
both
shall
go
to
hell
together
,
therefore
take
heede
to
your
ministerie
.
The
second
thing
which
the
ministerie
requireth
at
a
ministers
hand
,
is
,
not
onely
that
he
be
skilfull
,
but
also
faithfull
&
watchfull
,
which
,
Luke

Act.

Tim.

.
as
Christ
commanded
in
a
Steward
that
gives
his
howse-hold
meate
in
due
season
,
so
Paul
practised
as
a
faithful
Steward
,
teaching
openly
,
and
in
every
howse
,
laying
it
to
the
charge
of
Timothie
,
with
witnes
,
saying
:
I
charge
thee
before
God
,
and
before
the
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,
Who
shal
judge
the
quicke
,
and
the
dead
at
the
day
of
his
appearing
,
and
in
his
kingdome
.
Preach
,
that
is
his
office
,
be
instant
in
season
and
out
of
season
,
that
is
the
time
.
In
season
to
them
that
will
,
out
of
season
to
them
that
will
not
.
How
?
reproove
exhort
,
correct
,
with
al
long-suffring
,
and
doctrine
,
that
is
the
manner
.
And
this
duty
Christ
enjoyned
Peter
vnto
,
Ioh.
21.1
.
he
sayth
not
,
be
thou
a
Pastour
,
or
a
Bishop
,
or
a
Prelate
,
but
feede
thou
because
many
Pastours
in
name
,
are
but
idoles
in
deede
,
which
either
devoure
them
,
or
fleece
them
,
Mat.
9.3
.
but
feede
them
not
.
Therefore
sayth
Christ
the
harvest
is
greate
,
and
there
are
,
what
few
few
Prelates
,
few
ministers
,
or
few
learned
men
?
no
,
but
there
are
few
labourers
,
few
workemen
.
Wherevnto
serveth
that
of
the
Apostle
.
If
any
man
desireth
the
office
of
a
Bishop
,
or
a
minister
he
desireth
a
good
worke
a
good
dutie
,
not
a
good
dignitie
,
not
a
good
delight
,
not
good
riches
,
not
good
revenews
,
but
a
good
worke
.
And
to
this
end
were
Aaron
,
and
his
sonnes
anointed
,
not
onely
to
be
Preists
to
the
Lord
and
to
stand
as
many
do
like
Cyphres
in
Augrum
;
but
to
execute
the
Preist-hood
and
as
the
phrase
is
often
repeated
,
to
serve
in
the
Preists
office
before
the
Lord
.
So
that
,
a
minister
must
not
onely
be
skilfull
in
his
ministerie
,
but
faithfull
and
diligent
,
and
painefull
,
in
his
ministerie
:
and
consider
the
faithfulnes
of
Iacob
in
keeping
Labans
sheepe
I
was
(
saith
he
)
consumed
with
heate
,
and
the
frost
by
night
,
and
my
sleepe
departed
from
mine
eyes
.
If
he
be
so
carefull
for
Labans
sheepe
:
how
much
more
carefull
&
watchfull
should
we
be
for
the
sheepe
of
Gods
fold
and
feare
neither
the
pinching
cold
of
adversitie
,
nor
the
parching
heate
of
persequuting
Tyrants
to
procure
their
good
.
1.
Chr
18
:
14.15.16
.
We
may
reade
in
the
booke
of
Chronicles
,
that
in
Davids
howse
there
were
Officers
appointed
to
everie
charge
:
particular
Officers
for
his
treasures
,
for
his
sheepe
,
for
his
vines
&c.
that
no
man
should
be
oppressed
with
too
great
charge
,
but
that
everie
man
should
be
carefull
,
and
faithfull
in
his
place
.
So
in
Gods
howse
hath
he
appointed
particular
officers
.
And
what
are
Davids
treasures
to
the
Lords
?
Gods
treasure
is
Davids
heart
,
and
Davids
treasure
but
dust
:
David
himselfe
one
of
Gods
sheepe
โช
and
Davids
sheepe
simple
beasts
:
David
is
a
branch
of
Gods
vine
,
and
Davids
vines
but
vanitie
.

Then
this
is
just
reproofe
to
all
such
to
whome
the
Lord
hath
given
gifts
fit
to
teach
&
yet
are
negligent
,
and
idle
,
and
slothfull
,
and
will
not
teach
being
like
faithles
Capteines
who
receive
continuallie
the
Lords
pay
,
and
yet
never
fight
the
Lords
battailes
whose
knowledge
is
wrapt
vp
in
an
idle
braine
without
practise
as
Goโโahs
sword
in
cloth
without

Prov.
11.26
,
If
the
people
curse
him
that
with-drawes
his
Corne
from
the
market
:
how
much
more
shall
they
be
cursed
,
who
by
keepeing
the
corne
of
Gods
word
,
from
the
congregation
of
his
people
,
bring
vpon
themselves
so
fearefull
a
sinne
?
Who
when
as
they
should
by
preaching
the
word
,
distill
on
the
people
,
as
the
dew
vpon
the
grasse
,
and
as
the
raine
vpon
the
hearbes
,
(
like
clowdes
which
sweate
themselves
to
death
)
vanish
away
in
vanitie
,
like
brests
without
milke
,
and
clowdes
without

,
who
when
they
should
in
the
wombe
of
the
church
,
begett
many
children
of
glory
to
God
,
deserved
to
be
fined
of
our
Gouvernours
as
the
old
and
single
men
of
Rome
were
by
their
Censors
cast
out
because
they
brought
no
children
to
the
common-wealth
.
And
now
hearken
what
the
Lord
saith
to
the
idle
of
idole
shephearde
.
Thus
saith
the
Lord
God
vnto
the
shepheards
of
Israel
that
doe
feed
themselves
:
Ezek.
34.2
.
should
not
the
shepheards
feed
the
flockes
?
therefore
saith
the
Lord
I
wil
come
against
the
shepheard
,
and
will
require
my
sheepe
at
their
hands
:
and
his
blood
that
dieth
without
warning
will
I
require
at
the
watch-mans
hands
.
For
what
,
should
the
Porter
sleepe
when
the
theefe
seekes
to
enter
?
Or
the
Pilot
be
careles
when
the
ship
is
in
danger
?
Or
the
Capteine
secure
when
the
enimie
is
at
hand
?
Or
the
minister
be
negligent
,
when
his
people
be
ignorant
,
and
like
to
perish
for
want
of
vision
?
and
the
devill
readie
to
destroye
at
all
advantages
?
Far
be
it
!
for
what
were
this
,
but
even
to
betraye
Gods
people
into
the
hands
of
Pirats
,
theeves
,
and
robbers
?
But
what
shall
we
say
to
them
that
have
a
cure
of
soules
in
one
place
,
and
live
in
another
:
like
fugitive
Capteines
forsake
their
Ensigne
and
Company
at
Barwicke
&
flee
to
Dover
who
being
with
Ionah
commanded
for
Niniveh
,
sโโe
to
Tarโhish
:
who
being
placed
in
the
countrie
,
run
to
the
universitie
.
Who
leave
their
charge
,
as
the
Ostrrich
doeth
her
Eggs
in
the
earth
,
Job
39.17
.
and
sands
:
forgetting
that
either
the
soote
might
scatter
them
,
or
the
wild
beast
breake
them
shewing
her selfe
cruel
to
her
yong
ones
,
as
if
they
were
not
hers
:
&
is
with
feare
,
as
if
shee
travailled
in
vaine
:
Or
at
the
least
,
leaved
her
eggs
,
as
the
Cueโow
doeth
,
to
be
hatched
of
a
sparron
,
or
some
other
bird
.
Do
they
not
every
howre
feare
lest
God
should
meete
them
where
they
are
,
&
hast
vnto
them
as
Eliab
did
to
David
,
1.
sam.
17.28
.
why
camest
thou
downe
hither
?
&
with
whome
hast
thou
left
those
few
sheepe
in
the
wildernes
?
Or
feare
they
not
lest
that
befall
them
which
befell
David
,
who
when
he
fought
Gods
battailes
as
the
sworne
Capteine
of
God
,
was
secured
from
the
ambushes
of
Satan
and
fortified
against
the
corruption
of
his
owne
nature
,
but
when
he
gave
vp
the
administration
to
others
,
without
just
cause
and
sate
himselfe
downe
to
rest
in
Ierusalem
,
and
was
not
resident
in
his
Campe
:
then
was
the
H.
Ghost
not
resident
in
his
heart
but
he
fell
into
those
grosse
sinns
of
adulterie
and
murder
.
Or
lastly
feare
theise
not
lost
in
their
absence
their
unlearned
and
for
the
most
part
ungodly
Vi-Curates
should
bring
a
great
sinne
&
consequently
a
great
punishment
as
Aaron
the
first
Vicar
of
the
Synagogue
as
Parisiensis
calleth
him
(
tho
a
Vicar
of
Gods
owne
chusing
)
brought
on
Israel
who
when
Moses
had
ben
absent
from
them
but
onely
fourtie
dayes
,
and
not
as
he
doeth
add
in
the
Court
with
a
Prince
,
nor
in
the
Pallace
with
a
Bishop
,
but
in
the
mount
with
God
:
at
his
returne
he
found
the
fooles
of
Israel
dauncing
a
Morice-dance
about
a
Caife
.
Consider
then
how
ignorance
irreligious
poperie
and
prophanenes
,
creepeth
into
the
charges
of
those
men
who
are
absent
not
fourtie
dayes
onely
as
Moses
was
but
fourty
weekes
together
:
not
with
God
in
any
calling
of
his
,
as
the
same
Moses
in
the
mount
,
but
like
enough
either
in
the
Court
,
or
in
the
Pallace
as
was
spoken
before
out
of
Parisiensis
:
or
els
where
regarding
little
their
duty
Gods
glory
,
or
the
peoples
gooe
.
And
to
theise
may
be
added
those
,
who
seeking
their
owne
,
and
not
that
which
is
Iesus
Christs
,
are
content
to
live
,
and
waxe
rich
with
the
spoyle
of
the
church
,
and
the
destruction
of
Gods
people
.
They
who
are
Capteines
of
two
armies
,
Pilots
of
two
ships
,
shepherds
of
two
flocks
,
Pastours
of
two
churches
yea
and
more
toe
,
when
a
Godlie
painfull
man
,
making
conscience
of
his
dutye
,
grones
vnder
the
burden
of
one
but
they
travailing
at
one
time
with
two
children
,
Gen
โโ

harder
to
bring
forth
then
Iacob
and
Esau
were
,
cry
not
out
in
sence
of
any
paine
,
as
Rebekah
did
seing
it
is
so
why
am
I
thus
?
but
thinke
that
their
presence
in
one
place
excuseth
their
absence
in
the
other
,
and
the
rather
,
because
they
supply
that
by
their
Vicars
,
or
Curates
;
which
in
their
owne
presence
they
cannot
dis-charge
.
But
consider
I
beseech
you
as
many
as
be
heere
faulty
in
this
particular
is
your
absence
excused
because
by
others
your
places
are
supplyed
?
what
then
is
the
election
of
ministers
but
a
scorne
,
and
mockerie
(
as
Dominicus
Soto
speaketh
writing
hereof
at
large
.
Lab.
10.
)
If
a
man
may
take
a
benefice
and
dis-charge
it
by
an
other
man
?
and
seing
Christ
sendeth
you
as

,
Teachers
,
not
ordeiners
of

and

in

,
De

what
is
it
as
Parisiensis
speaketh
writing
much
to
to
this
purpose
,
but
as
if
a
man
should
marry
a
woeman
vnder
hope
to
obteine
issue
of
her
,
but
by
another
man
?
what
is
it
but
a
crosse
practise
to
that
of
the
Samaritan
,
and
of
Christ
:
Luke
10.35
.
Ioh.
21.15
Joh.
19.26
of
whome
,
the
former
did
not
commit
the
care
of
the
wounded
man
,
to
the
Inn-keeper
,
till
he
was
to
depart
himselfe
.
The
Lord
did
not
commit
his
sheepe
to
Peter
,
nor
his
mother
to
Iohn
,
till
he
was
now
ready
to
commit
his
soule
to
God
,
and
his
body
to
the
ground
:
as
Alphonsus
de
Castro
discoursing
hereof
at
large
,
speaketh
:
vnto
whome
it
you
be
not
yet
resolved
hereof
,
you
may
add
Buffus
and
Dumeus
de
sacris
Ecclesiasticis
ministerijs
:
but
especiallie
Dominicus
Soto
,
who
prooveth
this
NON-RE
sidencie
to
be
vnlawfull
by
the
law
of
nature
,
by
the
law
of
man
,
by
the
law
of
God
:
by
Councells
by
Fathers
whome
he
reckons
vp
.
And
,
if
I
did
want
matter
,
many
more
things
might
heere
be
spoken
from
him
:
but
I
onely
repeate
that
sentence
of
Damascene
(
which
he
he
hath
)
in
an
Epistle
of
his
,
which
he
calleth
a
golden
Epistle
:
where
(
I
take
it
)
he
compareth
those
that
leave
their
charge
to
others
,
to
cruel
harlots
,
that
set
forth
their
children
to
nurse
,
the
sooner
,
to
fulfill
their
inordinate
lusts
:
So
do
they
set
forth
their
charges
to
others
,
that
they
may
go
whither
they
will
the
more
freely
:
and
intangle
themselves
in
secular
affaires
.
To
conclude
,
what
is
it
but
to
send
Gehazi
with
a
staffe
,
that
can
never
recover
a
dead
soule
to
life
?
You
,
your selves
must
put
mouth
to
mouth
,
and
preach
the
word
vnto
them
;
you
must
put
eyes
to
eyes
,
and
enlighten
their
minds
;
you
must
put
hand
to
hand
,
and
show
them
all
good
examples
,
in
your
owne
persons
;
which
if
you
will
not
do
,
but
still
thinke
your
Curates
presence
can
excuse
your
absence
,
Ezek.
44.1
.
then
go
to
the
Prophet
Ezekiel
and
put
your
finger
in
the
print
of
the
Prophets
speeche
that
you
may
not
still
be
vnfaithfull
,
but
beleeve
:
that
it
fully
concerneth
you
:
You
have
not
kept
the
ordinances
of
my
holy
things
saith
God
but
you
have
set
others
to
take
the
charge
of
my
Sanctuarie
.
As
if
he
should
have
saide
:
you
have
received
the
oblation
of
my
holy
things
:
but
you
have
not
kept
the
ordinances
of
my
holy
things
,
and
as
if
you
were
the
Lords
of
my
heritage
,
you
have
put
others
vnder
you
,
to
take
the
charge
of
my
Sanctuarie
,
which
yourselves
should
have
dis-charged
.
Thus
doeth
the
Lord
plainely
reproove
you
,
for
substituting
others
vnder
you
:
and
therefore
may
you
justly
feare
that
which
Claudius
Espencaus
,
a
Papist
,
is
bold
to
write
,
which
I
am
even
a-frayd
to
speake
:
that
God
shall
serve
you
heareafter
,
as
you
serve
him
now
:
you
shall
be
saved
by
your
vicars
,
but
damned
in
your
owne
persons
.
And
now
further
,
men
and
brethren
,
if
that
blind
buzzards
onely
which
know
not
the
price
of
soules
,
were
guilty
of
this
sinne
,
I
would
not
have
marveiled
:
or
if
the
purple
Cardinall
of
Rome
onely
,
with
that
accursed
rabble
of
that
Romish
Court
,
were
guilty
of
this
sinne
,
I
would
have
held
my
peace
:
but
that
learned
men
,
men
of
judgment
and
vnderstanding
,
which
reade
and
professe
to
know
the
Scriptures
,
and
theise
words
pronounced
against
them
,
no
milder
then
gall
and
worme-wood
;
should
be
so
sore
blinded
,
by
that
love
of
the
world
as
to
seeke
their
owne
ease
,
their
owne
proffit
,
their
owne
pleasure
:
but
not
that
which
is
Iesus
Christs
,
not
his
glory
,
nor
the
salvation
of
his
people
.
รฒ
ye
heavens
be
ashamed
at
this
!
&
thou
รฒ
earth
conceale
not
this
iniquitie
!
Crye
out
thou
hunger-starved-soule
,
as
the
Soules
of
the
slaine
,
vnder
the
altar
:
let
not
your
tongues
cleave
to
the
roofe
of
your
mouth
,
vntill
the
Lord
,
holy
and
true
,
avenge
your
blood
,
on
them
that
slay
you
,
as
beasts
in
the
middest
of
the
streete
!
and
thou
blood
of
the
soule
al-ready
dead
:
dead
in
respect
of
any
spiritual
vegetation
,
and
dead
in
everlasting
malediction
,
never
be
dryed
vp
,
but
cry
lowder
,
then
the
blood
of
Abel
against
Kaine
for
vengeance
,
against
this
sinne
!
and
you
that
are
the
Lords
faithfull
ministers
on
earth
,
regard
the
soules
,
and
salvations
of
Gods
people
,
and
let
them
be
as
deare
to
you
,
as
they
were
to
him
that
bought
them
,
with
no
lesse
deare
a
price
,
then
the
price
of
his
owne
blood
.
And
you
Fathers
,
and
brethren
,
who
in
the
ministerie
live
in
this
cittie
,
and
have
now
long
nayled
your
eares
,
to
the
doore-posts
thereof
;
I
say
not
as
Bishop
Latymer
sometime
said
,
to
his
fellow-Bishops
,
let
the
example
of
the
Devill
moove
you
,
who
is
ever
diligent
,
and
never
Non-re
sident
in
his
great
Parish
,
but
I
humbly
beseech
you
,
if
there
be
any
place
for
beseechig
left
,
let
the
commandement
of
Gods
word
moove
you
,
who
willeth
you
to
looke
to
your
calling
,
and
abide
in
that
;
let
the
example
of
Christ
,
and
regard
to
his
glory
,
moove
you
,
who
himselfe
came
to
seeke
the
lost
sheepe
,
and
finding
it
,
put
it
vpon
his
shoulders
,
and
himselfe
brought
it
home
:
let
the
example
of
the
Levites
,
and
all
good
over-seers
incite
you
,
oh
let
the
ignorance
of
the
people
,
and
dread
to
murder
their
soules
which
Christ
hath
purchased
with
his
blood
,
provoke
you
:
yea
,
let
the
care
of
your
owne
quiet
,
and
the
peace
of
your
owne
consciences
,
which
shall
heareafter
greivously
rue
it
,
enjoyne
you
:
and
let
the
assured
persuasion
of
Gods
goodnes
,
who
hath
promised
to
mainteine
you
,
and
will
performe
it
,
constreine
you
to
redresse
all
vnfaithfulnrs
:
and
thinke
on
those
temptations
which
hold
you
therein
;
are
they
not
grosse
,
and
such
as
the
shame
of
the
world
might
shift
of
?
how
much
more
should
Gods
spirit
prevaile
heerevnto
!
thinke
on
the
gaine
you
get
by
spirituall
promotions
,
joyned
with
spirituall
โโstructions
,
are
they
not
more
shame-full
,
and
infaโโโs
,
then
the
gaines
of
the
usurer
and
promotour
?
let
ใโใ
be
enough
that
there
be
those
in
hell
al-ready
,
who
โurse
the
day
that
ever
you
were
borne
,
through
whose
cruelty
they
are
fallen
into
theise
vnspeakable
torments
:
and
from
hence
forth
take
heede
to
your
ministerie
and
to
the
faithfull
dis-charge
of
your
duty
.
Let
it
never
be
said
that
you
loved
the
Lord
,
as
Laban
loved
Iacob
,
onely
to
get
riches
by
him
,
or
as
Saul
loved
David
,
to
get
honour
by
him
,
and
not
for
any
love
to
the
person
of
Iacob
,
or
David
;
but
let
your
love
be
seene
by
your
paines
in
the
ministerie
of
Christ
Iesus
.
Let
it
never
be
said
,
that
a
good
benefice
is
as
a
white
marke
in
a
greene
medowe
,
seene
a
farr
of
,
and
faire
to
shoote
at
,
but
let
it
be
said
,
that
the
soules
and
salvations
of
Gods
people
,
is
the
thing
you
aime
at
.
Remember
this
admonition
,
take
heed
to
the
ministerie
,
forget
not
that
of
Paul
in
his
Visitation
Sermon
at
Ephesus
;
Act.
20.28.29
.
Take
heed
to
your selves
and
to
all
the
flock
whereof
the
H.
Ghost
hath
made
you
overseers
to
feed
the
church
of
God
which
he
hath
purchased
with
his
owne
blood
.
Take
heede
to
the
ministerie
thou
hast
received
in
the
Lord
.
Archippus
did
receive
his
ministerie
in
the
Lord
:
that
is
,
of
the
Lord
.
Therefore
he
did
not
thrust
himselfe
into
the
ministerie
,
but
had
his
calling
of
God
,
and
his
example
is
to
be
marked
of
all
the
ministers
of
the
word
:
Doct.
That
they
have
not
onely
a
calling
from
man
but
a
calling
from
God
:
as
all
the
Prophets
of
God
had
:
all
the
Apostles
of
Christ
had
:
whose
commission
vnto
them
,
was
a
brazen
wall
,
to
secure
them
:
and
as
a
fortresse
,
and
rocke
to
stand
vpon
.
If
they
have
a
calling
from
God
,
they
shall
see
a
seale
of
their
ministerie
iโ
the
conversion
of
some
soules
at
least
;
but
if
tโโฆ
have
received
their
ministerie
from
man
,
&
not
front
the
Lord
,
Ezek.
13.6
.
they
receive
a
curse
in
sted
of
a
blessing
,
a
woe
is
denounced
against
them
:
and
their
people
continue
without
proffit
:
as
God
sheweth
in
the
Prophecie
of
Ieremiah
:
saying
I
will
come
against
them
that
Prophesy
false
dreames
&
I
sent
them
not
,
Ier.
23.32
.
nor
commanded
them
therefore
they
bring
no
proffit
to
this
people
,
saith
the
Lord
,
therefore
the
people
are
not
bettred
,
their
soules
are
not
converted
,
their
lives
are
not
amended
,
God
is
not
glorified
,
because
they
came
,
and
God
sent
them
not
,
they
had
a
ministerie
,
but
not
of
the
Lord
:
but
saith
God
in
the
same
chapter
,
vers
22.
if
they
had
stood
in
my
counsel
,
and
had
declared
my
word
,
to
my
people
:
then
,
they
should
have
turned
them
from
their
evill
way
,
and
from
the
wickednes
of
their
inventions
.
Behold
a
blessing
that
should
have
followed
their
labours
,
if
God
had
sent
them

and
consider
,
what
made

with

what
made

,
a

of
the

,
so

with

what
made

,
so

with

what
made

so
stout
against

?
what
made
Nathan
so
free
with
David
?
what
made
Iohn
Baptist
so
zealous
,
to

?
what
did
open
the

of
the
Apostles
,
and
made
them
speake
the
word
with
all
boldnes
of
speech
,
but
this
warrant
of
their
callinge
.
They
had
their
minifierie
not
of
man
but
of
God
.
Theise
are
the
faithfull
ministers
of
God
,
whome
God
hath
called
,
and
armed
from
above
,
to
this
service
.
Theise
are
they
,
to
whome
he
hath
given
Crownes
of
authority
,
and
lincks
of
iron
to
bind
the
Princes
,
and
nobles
of

earth
:
the
rest
have
no
courage
,
no

not

use

sayth
to
them
,
as
he
once
did
,
to
the
Sonns
of
Sceva
:
Iesus
I
acknowledge
,
and
Paul
I
know
,
but
who
are
yee
?
let
every
minister
that
heareth
me
this
day
,
enter
into
his
owne
heart
,
and
examin
his
inmost
affection
,
and
try
whither
he
hath
received
his
ministerie
of
the
Lord
,
or
no
:
which
he
hath
not
,
unlesse
he
hath
gifts
,
in
some
tollerable
measure
,
to
dis-charge
that
ministerie
:
for
God
sendeth
no
blind
guides
,
unlesse
it
be
in
judgment
to
punish
the
people
.
We
reade
in
the
booke
of
Esiber
,
that
none
might
come
into
the
presence
of
the
King
,
unlesse
the
King
did
hold
out
his
golden
Scepter
vnto
him
:
how
shall
they
then
be
punished
of
the
Lord
,
that
come
,
not
into
Gods
presence
,
but
into
Gods
place
,
where
God
himselfe
is
;
even
the
Father
,
full
of
Majestie
,
the
Sonne
of
God
,
replenished
with
glory
,
and
the
H.
Ghost
great
in
power
:
and
presume
,
to
take
the
place
vpon
them
,
without
any
warrnt
from
the
Lord
?
They
are
the
vipers
of
the
church
,
which
stay
not
the
appointed
time
of
nature
,
but
breake
out
of
their
mothers
bellyes
,
before
their
time
,
tho
their
mother
pay
for
it
.
They
will
not
stay
,
till
God
openeth
them
a
doore
,
but
will
run
in
another
waye
.
what
will
you
give
me
?
what
shall
J
give
you
And
Iudas
with
his
quid
vos
dabitis
mihi
?
on
the
one
side
:
and
Simon
Magus
with
his
quid
ego
tihi
dabo
?
on
the
other
side
:
make
wicked
bargaines
together
;
and
without
any
calling
from
God
,
enter
into
the
charge
of
Gods
people
.
But
let
them
looke
,
that
they
who
set
them
a-worke
,
pay
them
their
wages
.
As
many
as
have
their
ministerie
of
the
Lord
,
can
say
as
Paul
did
,
when
the
Gospell
was
committed
vnto
him
,
you
know
of
the
grace
which
was
given
vnto
me
:
but
for
the
rest
,
we
see
the
ministerie
in
them
,
but
we
know
no
grace
in
them
,
neither
in
their
word
,
nor
worke
.
Which
thou
hast
received
of
the
Lord
,
or
in
the
Lord
.
Hence
we
learne
againe
.
That
the
Lord
is
the
author
of
the
ministerie

,
did
commit

use
.

Heere
then
is
excellent
matter
for
minister
and
people
.
For
minister
,
he
hath
received
his
ministerie
of
the
Lord
:
and
therefore
he
must
give
account
of
his
ministerie
,
to
the
Lord
.
Take
heed
(
saith
Paul
to
the
Elders
of
Ephesus
)
to
your selves
,
and
to
the
flocke
whereof
the
H.
Ghost
hath
made
you
Overseers
:
not
man
,
but
the
H.
Ghost
to
whome
you
shall
be
accounteable
for
all
the
flocke
and
therefore
take
heede
to
the
charge
.
This
should
be
as
a
thowsand
Spurrs
to
our
sides
to
moove
vs
to
the
performance
of
our
dutyes
,
when
we
consider
the
Majestie
of
him
,
who
hath
commited
the
ministerie
vnto
vs
:
when
we
consider
,
the
price
of
soules
,
that
depend
vpon
vs
:
when
we
thinke
on
that
account
.
which
we
,
one
day
must
make
:
when
Peter
shall
come
before
God
,
with
his
converted
Iewes
:
and
Paul
with
his
Gentills
;
Andrew
with
Achaja
;
John
with
Aโiaz
Thomas
with
India
.
Whome
shall
we
bring
with
vs
?
what
soules
shall
we
present
to
God
as
our
Crowne
,
and
our
glory
?
where
shall
we
find
the
seale
of
our
ministerie
?
or
,
if
we
have
none
,
by
reason
of
our
negligence
and
ignorance
;
how
shall
we
dare
,
to
appeare
before
the
Lord
,
the
fearfull
judge
,
of
quicke
and
dead
;
when
he
shall
say
;
come
give
an
accounte
of
thy
steward-ship
.
Secondly
;
the
ministerie
should
hence
learne
,
this
use
.
2
lesson
of
instruction
:
that
because
the
Lord
is
the
authour
of
this
ministerie
;
therefore
they
must
in
their
ministerie
,
seeke
the
Lords
honour
;
and
not
their
owne
:
they
must
seeke
to
enlarge
Gods
church
,
and
not
their
owne
livings
;
to
winn
glory
to
God
,
and
not
gaine
to
themselves
:
for
,
they
have
received
their
ministerie
in
the
Lord
;
by
his
grace
,
and
for
his
glory
.
A
just
reproofe
,
to
those
,
who
in
the
ministerie
aime
not
at
this
end
;
nay
,
whose
consciences
tell
them
,
they
thought
not
therevpon
;
but
on
their
owne
ease
,
such
,
and
such
a
benefice
,
such
a
prebend-ship
,
such
a
common
,
such
a
Bishoprick
,
such
credit
,
&
countenance
in
the
world
:
&
intend
this
end
in
their
ministerie
,
&
not
the
other
.
A
just
reproofe
of
those
,
who
preach
themselves
,
&
not
the
Lord
:
speaking
to
the
eare
,
&
not
to
the
conscience
:
seeking
,
rather
by
a
painted
eloquence
,
to
set
forth
themselves
,
&
to
get
the
name
of
Schollers
,
and
learned
men
;
then
to
set
forth
the
knowledge
of
the
trueth
:
being
like
to
adulterers
,
(
as
Gregorie
compareth
them
)
who
delight
in
the
company
of
woemen
,
not
so
much
to
get
children
,
as
to
satisfy
their
owne
beastly
lusts
:
So
do
theise
,
delight
to
preach
,
now
and
then
;
once
a
moneth
once
a
-
quarter
,
or
so
:
but
not
so
much
to
gett
children
to
God
,
as
to
satisfy
,
their
owne
vainglorious
humour
:
as
he

of

:
commeth
more
like
a
Carpet-knight
,
then
a
man
of

:
so
may
we
rightly
judge
him
,
that
commeth
into
Gods
place
,
with
curious
phrases
,
and
invented
words
,
of
mans

Thirdly
;
let
all
faithfull
ministers
,
comfort
themselves
herein
;
tho
men
be
against
them
,
yet
,
they
have
their
calling
,
from
the
Lord
:
he
will
backe
them
,
and
beare
them
out
:
he
will
give
power
vnto
them
.
They
are
starrs
in
Gods
right
hand
;
God
will
defend
them
.
Feare
not
therefore
,
the
faces
of
men
;
seeke
not
to
please
men
,
Gal.
1.10
.
for
,
if
you
doe
,
(
as
Paul
speakes
)
you
cannot
be
the
servants
of
God
.
You
have
your
ministerie
from
the
Lord
,
seeke
therefore
,
to
approove
your selves
,
not
to
the
wicked
,
but
to
the
Lord
,
who
will
defend
,
Revel.
11.3.4.5.6.7
and
give
power
vnto
you
,
as
he
promiseth
,
to
his
two
witnesses
,
in
the
Revelation
.
Now
,
for
the
people
:
here
is
also
a
lesson
for
them
to
learne
:
the
Lord
is
the
authour
of
the
ministerie
,
therefore
,
honourable
is
their
calling
,
&
they
are
to
be
had
,
in
singular
accounte
,
for
their
works
sake
:
not
,
for
their
livings
sake
,
nor
degrees
sake
,
nor
,
their
persons
sake
,
nor
,
their
freinds
sake
:
but
,
for
their
works
sake
.
The
worke
of
their
calling
,
their
honourable
calling
.
For
this
cause
,
2.
Tim.

the
minister
is
called
,
the
man
of
God
,
as
if
he
should
say
,
Gods
Embassadour
and
legate
,
and
lieutenant

on

.
If
then
,
it
be
an
honourable
thing
,
to
be
a
Princes

be

King
of
heaven
,
and
earth
?
Therefore
,
called
Angells
,
and
Starrs
,
to
shew
,
the
excellencie
of
their
calling
:
which
Paul
considering
,
he
cryes
out
in
a
wonder
:
how
beautifull
are
the
feete
,
that
is
,
the
comming
of
them
,
rom.
10.15
which
bring
glad
tidings
of
peace
?
As
if
,
he
should
have
said
,
I
cannot
expresse
,
how
beautifuil
,
and
excellent
,
how
lovely
,
and
amiable
,
their
comming
is
.
See
what
accounte
,
Elizeus
made
of
,
Elias
;
who
being
taken
vp
,
Elizeus
looketh
after
him
,
and
cryeth
out
:
Oh
the
Charriots
of
Israel
&
the
horsmen
thereof
!
signifying
,
that
Elias
being
gone
,
2
King
.
2.12
.
the
very
beauty
,
and
strength
of
Israel
,
was
gone
.
If
this
were
well
regarded
,
then
the
ministerie
of
God
,
would
be
more
regarded
,
lesse
despised
,
lesse
dis-gra-ced
,
more
honoured
,
more
reverenced
,
more
esteemed
then
it
is
:
but
for
want
of
this
consideration
,
the
ministers
of
God
are
accounted
now
a
dayes
,
as
the
Apostles
were
before
them
;
1
cor
4.13
the
very
filth
and
off-skouring
of
the
world
:
the
very
offalls
,
and
refuse
,
of
mankind
.
And
,
if
by
our
dishonouring
God
,
in
our
places
,
and
our
unfaithfull
walking
,
in
our
calling
,
God
hath
justly
dishonoured
vs
,
and
made
vs
base
,
and
vile
;
abject
,
and
contemptible
,
in
the
sight
of
the
people
;
let
vs
blame
our selves
:
but
if
any
,
doe
esteeme
thus
,
of
Gods
ministerie
,
and
account
,
the
calling
of
his
ministers
,
dishonourable
;
they
dishonour
,
not
vs
,
but
God
,
whose
messengers
,
and
Embassadours
,
we
are
:
as
God
said
to
Moses
:
Num.

sam.
8.7
they
have
not
murmured
against
thee
,
but
me
:
and
,
so
he
said
to
Samuel
:
they
have
not
rejected
thee
,
but
they
have
cast
me
away
,
from
being
King
over
them
.
Let
them
remember
,
that
fearefull
speech
;
he
that
despiseth
you
,
despiseth
me
.
Christ
,
shall
take
that
dishonour
,
done
to
his
minister
,
as
done
to
himselfe
.
And
therefore
,
if
David
would
not
put
vp
that
dis-grace
which
was
offred
to
his
messengers
by
Hanun
:
certeynely
,
Christ
will
not
put
vp
that
dis-grace
,
which
is
offred
,
to
his
messengers
,
and
ministers
.
Wherefore
,
I
heere
dare
,
all
Papists
,
Atheists
,
Libertines
,
Newters
,
Machiavells
,
and
,
all
prophane
Epicures
whosoever
,
to
contemne
the
ministers
of
God
:
if
thou
darest
dishonour
them
,
dis-grace
them
,
mocke
them
,
and
laugh
at
them
:
Call
them
,
pestilent
fellowes
,
as
Tertullus
did
:
and
troublers
of
the
state
,
as
Ahab
did
Elias
,
a
troubler
of
Israel
:
Call
them
mad-fellowes
,
as
Erastus
did
,
Act.
in
his
mad
moode
:
Call
them
,
railing
preachers
,
seditous
preachers
:
assure
they
selfe
,
who
ever
thou
art
,
that
;
thus
thinkest
in
thy
heart
:
or
,
speakest
with
thy
mouth
:
the
Lord
,
of
whome
,
we
have
received
our
ministerie
,
shall
not
forget
this
contempt
:
but
,
tho
base
be
our
persons
,
poore
be
our
livings
,
dishonourable
be
our
estimation
:
he
shall
remember
,
and
he
shall
revenge
it
.
And
therefore
,
feare
to
vilify
,
any
of
those
,
who
have
their
ministery
from
the
Lord
.
Men
we
are
,
as
you
are
:
and
that
is
for
your
good
,
for
you
could
not
heare
the
voice
,
of
God
himselfe
,
and
live
:
or
,
of
any
of
those
blessed
;
and
glorious
Angels
of
his
.
Sinfull
we
are
,
as
yee
are
:
and
that
is
,
because
we
are
men
.
Mortall
we
are
,
as
you
are
:
and
that
is
,
because
we
are
sinfull
.
Yet
still
,
tho
men
,
sinfull
,
and
mortall
,
we
are
the
messengers
of
God
,
and
Ambassadours
of
Christ
.
If
you
love
vs
not
,
in
regard
of
our
persons
,
yet
love
vs
,
in
regard
of
our
office
:
we
are
indeed
,
but
earthen
vessells
;
but
we
have
pretious
treasures
in
vs
:
if
,
you
esteeme
vs
not
,
because
we
are
vessells
,
and
of
earth
,
yet
honour
vs
,
for
the
treasures
sake
.
Our
ministerie
is
not
ours
,
but
the
Lords
,
we
,
and
thrice
wee
be
to
him
,
that
scorueth
it
.
The
last
thing
,
comes
to
be
considered
,
Doct.
5.
in
this
verse
.
That
thou
fulfil
it
.
It
is
heere
required
of
the
minister
,
that
,
he
thinke
it
not
enough
,
to
dis-charge
his
duty
,
coldly
,
and
perfunctorily
,
and
for
fashion
(
as
it
were
)
but
,
he
must
sett
himselfe
to
it
,
earnestly
,
zealously
,
and
fervently
,
that
he
may
even
fulfill
it
:
that
he
may
,
as
Paul
speaketh
,
make
his
ministery
fully
knowne
:
1.
Tim.
4.
and
,
approove
himselfe
,
the
true
minister
of
Christ
:
and
make
it
appeare
,
by
all
meanes
,
that
it
is
his
hearts
desire
,
to
fulfill
his
ministery
:
So
did
Apollos
,
preaching
fervently
,
&
teaching
diligently
,
the
things
of
the
Lord
.
First
,
he
spake
fervently
,
and
then
taught
:
noting
thereby
,
that
many
speake
,
who
do
not
teach
,
because
they
speake
not
fervently
,
as
Apollos
.
Thus
did
Paul
,
burne
in
Spirit
,
and
then
,
he
testified
to
the
Iewes
,
that
Iesus
was
the
Lord
.
Thus
did
Christ
preach
:
โoh
.
7.
of
whome
,
the
Pharises
messengers
,
gave
this
testimony
,
and
ingenuously
confessed
;
never
man
spake
like
this
man
:
because
,
he
spake
zealously
,
and
with
authority
,
and
,
mat.
7.
not
coldly
,
and
faintly
as
did
the
Scribes
.
Tho
a
man
,
had
all
knowledg
,
of
all
Fathers
,
tongues
and
arts
,
yet
unlesse
he
have
zeale
,
Act.
2.
he
can
never
fulfill
,
the
ministery
of
Christ
.
Therefore
,
did
the
H.
Ghost
descend
,
in
the
likenes
of
cloven
tongues
,
like
fire
;
to
signify
a
zealous
,
a
hott
,
preaching
ministerie
.
Iohn
was
a
burning
,
as
well
as
a
shining
light
:
ioh.
So
must
we
burne
with
zeale
,
if
we
will
fulfill
the
ministerie
.
If
this
be
so
,
what
shall
we
say
,
of
theise
cold
,
comfortles
use
.
1
discourses
,
and
morrall-philosophy-lectures
,
(
rather
then
Sermons
)
without
zeale
,
of
formall-preaching
ministers
,
which
shame
the
heate
,
by
which
men
should
be
quickened
;
being
as
Bernard
speakes
luciferi
,
but
,
not
igniferi
,
having
,
some
light
of
knowledge
,
in
their
heads
,
but
,
no
fire
of
zeale
,
in
their
hearts
,
who
,
speaking
the
word
of
God
,
do
weaken
the
power
thereof
,
by
dulnes
,
and
fโaโnes
of
Spirit
;
bringing
forth
their
doctrines
,
as
many
woemen
do
their
children
;
still-borne
,
without
sence
,
without
feeling
,
without
motion
;
using
doctrine
,
without
application
;
application
,
without
zeale
,
like
men
without
soules
,
or
Images
without
lives
.
Such
were
,
the
intollerable
cold
,
collations
,
of
the
Scribes
,
and
Pharises
,
whereby
,
they
did
loose
their
Auditours
,
and
,
made
their
Synagogues
,
desolate
:
and
such
are
the
Sermons
,
of
those
ministers
,
whose
minds
are
drowned
,
in
wordly
matters
,
whose
spirits
are
frozen
,
and
pittifully
benummed
,
with
woldlines
,
and
sensuality
.
And
,
so
dull
are
their
owne
hearts
,
by
want
of
holy
meditation
,
that
,
they
have
no
life
,
in
their
ministerie
,
nor
power
in
their
preaching
,
more
,
then
when
,
a
little
boy

saith
grace
.
Wherefore
,
as
Paul
bids
Timothy
,
to
stirr
up
,
anadsopurem
.
the
graces
of
God
in
him
;
to
blow
them
,
as
it
were
with
bellowes
,
as
,
the
Greeke
word
,
imports
:
so
must
we
,
and
endevour
,
to
Godly
vehemency
;
in
our
preaching
,
that
,
we
may
enforce
our
doctrine
,
to
the
hearts
of
the
hearers
,
and
,
may
make
our
ministerie
,
knowne
to
Gods
people
.
And
lastly
;
that
our
ministerie
,
may
be
fulfilled
;
let
vs
be
,
1.
Tim.
4.12
.
to
them
that
beleeve
,
as
Ensamples
,
in
word
,
in
conversation
,
in
love
,
in
spirit
,
&
in
purenes
,
as
Paul
speaketh
to
Timothy
:
let
vs
labour
,
to
be
unreprooveable
,
and
without
blame
,
that
,
we
sett
an
edge
,
on
our
Sermons
,
ใโใ
may
,
by
our
owne
life
,
authorice
our
doctrine
;
let
us
first
,
be
confirmed
,
as
Peter
was
,
and
strengthen
others
;
let
vs
first
,
observe
the
commandements
of
God
,
&
then
teach
them
others
to
observe
;
let
vs
first
,
labour
to
be
the
servants
of
God
,
as
Paul
was
,
and
then
,
the
Apostles
of
Iesus
Christ
;
let
vs
have
in
our
brest-plate
,
both
urim
,
and
Thummim
,
both
knowledg
,
and
holines
,
and
,
in
the
outmost
borders
,
of
our
garments
,
let
there
be
,
both
,
bells
,
and
pomegranates
toe
,
both
,
soundnes
of
doctrine
,
and
sweetnes
of
conversation
.
Take
away
the
reproch
of
the
people
,
that
hath
,
a
great
while
taken
vp
,
rom.
2.
that
speech
;
Thou
that
teachest
another
,
teachest
thou
not
thy selfe
?
You
are
in
the
face
of
the
people
,
a
fault
in
you
,
is
,
as
a
staine
in
the
face
,
and
a
blow
in
the
eye
:
as
most
perspicuous
,
so
most
dangerous
,
in
the
hand
,
the
glove
may
cover
it
:
in
the
feete
,
the
shooes
may
cover
it
:
in
the
body
,
the
clothes
may
cover
it
:
in
a
child
,
his
age
:
in
a
woeman
,
her
sexe
:
in
a
private
man
,
his
ignorance
may
excuse
it
:
in
you
,
that
must
be
Ensamples
to
others
,
in
all
kind
of
conversation
,
nothing
can
excuse
it
.
Therefore
,
if
there
be
heere
,
any
lizards
,
that
,
do
wipe
out
with
their
tayle
,
the
print
of
their
feete
,
made
in
the
dust
:
any
preacher
,
who
,
by
the
uncleane
tayle
,
of
a
loose
life
,
wipes
out
the
print
,
of
true
doctrine
;
if
any
have
Iacobs
voyce
,
and
Esaws
hands
,
if
any
,
that
carry
the
bellowes
of
preaching
in
the
one
hand
,
to
kindle
,
and
the
water
of
ungodlines
,
in
the
other
,
to
quench
it
:
let
them
not
deceive
themselves
,
by
their
preaching
,
their
ministery
,
is
not
fulfilled
,
and
therefore
,
they
shall
have
their
portion
,
with
that
servant
,
that
knowes
his
masters
will
,
and
doeth
it
not
.
And
now
to
Conclude
all
,
I
say
vnto
all
take
heed
to
your
ministerie
:
for
the
devill
your
adversary
,
[
there
is
his
dread
]
as
a
lyon
,
[
there
is
his
power
]
as
a
rouring
lyon
[
there
is
his
desire
to
hurt
]
goeth
about
,
[
there
is
his
industrie
]
and
seeketh
[
there
is
more
then
ordinary
diligence
,
not
what
,
but
,
whome
,
he
may
devoure
:
Even
the
soules
of
men
,
that
is
his
preye
.
His
force
,
very
greate
,
his
wiles
,
and
advantages
,
not
unowne
,
his
malice
experienced
,
his
cruelty
,
such
as
as
hell
can
afforde
;
therefore
,
take
heede
to
your
ministerie
.
The
wicked
,
your
enimies
,
are
Eagle-eyld
,
to
looke
into
you
,
and
spye
you
,
as
narrowly
,
as
the
Romans
did
Cato
,
or
the
Pharises
,
Christ
;
to
find
a
fault
,
and
having
found
,
either
your
ignorance
,
or
,
your
negligence
,
or
,
the
pride
of
your
ambition
,
or
,
your
covetousnes
,
they
have
enough
,
to
talke
of
,
with
joy
on
every
ale-bench
.
Others
see
your
faults
,
and
weepe
,
in
secret
,
for
your
sinns
,
that
Gods
glorious
gospel
,
that
sweete
oyntment
,
should
be
carried
in
such
filthy
boxes
,
as
some
of
you
are
.
Take
heede
to
your
ministerie
you
have
received
in
the
Lord
:
you
have
received
of
the
Lord
:
to
him
,
you
must
give
account
,
you
have
received
it
for
the
Lord
,
to
him
you
must
performe
your
dutye
,
shame
not
him
,
that
hath
called
you
,
walke
worthy
of
the
Lord
,
approove
your selves
,
as
workmen
,
that
need
not
,
to
be
ashamed
,
in
fulfilling
this
your
ministerie
:
for
,
if
you
have
bene
faithfull
,
there
is
layd
vp
for
you
,
a
Crowne
of
glorye
,
which
,
God
,
the
righteous
judge
,
shall
give
you
at
that
day
:
if
unfaithfull
,
go
many
fathomes
,
deeper
into
hell
,
then
other
men
,
because
you
have
bene
,
the
Soule-murderers
of
them
,
whome
you
should
have
saved
.
Thus
,
as
the
Colossians
must
say
to
Archippus
,
so
I
to
you
,
every
one
,
take
heede
to
your
ministerie
,
which
you
have
received
in
the
Lord
that
you
fulfill
it
.
Even
so
good
Lord
,
grant
vnto
the
ministerie
,
of
thy
chosen
ones
all
gifts
,
fit
for
their
calling
,
give
vnto
them
,
increase
of
knowledge
,
give
them
faithfulnes
give
them
zeale
,
that
they
may
teach
thy
people
,
in
thy
trueth
!
And
reforme
,
all
them
;
that
either
,
for
ignorance
cannot
:
or
,
for
negligence
,
will
not
;
or
,
for
fearfulnes
,
dare
not
;
or
,
for
wickednes
,
and
ungodlines
,
ought
not
,
to
preach
thy
word
:
that
true
Pastours
,
being
placed
in
,
among
thy
people
,
which
may
feed
them
,
with
knowledg
,
and
vnderstanding
,
thy
church
may
grow
vp
,
in
perfect
beauty
,
to
the
glory
of
thy
name
!
Amen!
