1 The Persons must be a public Minister of the Word and People. ¹I showed before that Prayer was a principal part of Gods public worship. Now in all public worship there is required a Minister for one party, and People for the other. A Minister hath a double function; one to stand in Gods room, and in Gods name to declare Gods mind and will unto his people. Another to stand in the Peoples room, and in their name to declare their mind and desire to God.
