In regard of this double charge, that lies on every Minister, the people1 for their parts, must remember, in all their prayers to •rave of God, that the Ministers may be enabled to teach Gods will, both in doctrine and life. The Apostle Paul doth sundry times require the Churches to whom he writ, to pray for him in regard of his cMinistry. Now if so worthy an Apostle had need to be prayed for, much more hath every ordinary Minister in Gods Church. And great reason it should be so, for the devil stands dat Jehoshuah's right hand to resist him: ehe hindered Paul from coming to the Thessalonians. Though he malign every believer, yet he aims especially at the Minister, that he may cause him to fail, if not in teaching, yet at least, in the exemplifying of his doctrine, by a sincere and godly conversation.
