There are two things contained in this Proposition. 1. That Princes ought to procure, that the Church never want men qualified and gifted for the work and service of the holy Ministry, for which end and purpose they ought to provide and maintain Schools and Colleges, entrusted and committed to the rule and oversight of orthodox, learned, godly, faithful, and diligent Masters, that so qualified and able men may be still furnished and sent forth for the Ministry and service of the Church.

Cor. 9. that so men be not scared from the service of the Ministry, but rather encouraged unto the same 2. Chron. 31. 4.
