1Another word is there in greek called presbyter / in latin / senior / in english an elder and is nothing but an officer to teach and not to be a mediator between God and us. This need no anointing of man.2 They of the old testament were anointed with oil / to signify the anointing of Christ and of us through Christ with the holy ghost. This wise is no man priest but he that is chosen / save as in time of necessity every person christeneth so may every man teach his wife and household and the wife her children. So in time of need if I see my brother sin I may between him and me rebuke him and damn his dead by the law of God. And may also comfort them that are in despair with the promises of God / and save them if they believe.
