For People, the Office of Ministers was appointed to gather them together,1 till they all meet in the unity of faith, and knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man. In a word, Ministers by well performing their ministerial function, do most good both to themselves, and their people. Mark whath Saint Paul saith to Timothy, In doing this, thou shalt both save thy self, and them that hear thee.

How contrary are the desires of many Ministers to Pauls? Use 1 If God should appear to them as he did to Solomon, and say;i Ask what I shall give thee, I am afraid that too few would desire ability to do their work, but rather some great livings; others, places of dignity: others, applause and praise of people, with the like. For these are the things which men hunt after.
