Deacons were instituted by the Apostles bfor collecting, receiving, keeping, and distributing of Ecclesiastical goods, which were given and dedicated for the maintenance of Ministers, Churches, Schools, and for the help and relief of the poor, the stranger, the sick and the weak, also cfor furnishing of such things as are necessary to the ministration of the Sacraments. Beside which employments, the Scripture hath assigned neither Preaching, nor Baptising, nor any other Ecclesiast•ll function to ordinary Deacons.
