I have five Propositions now distinctly to be proved: four for the proof of the Major, ⟨p. 4⟩and one for the proof of the Minor.
The first Proposition is, That Christ commissioned his Apostles as his principal Church-Ministers, to teach the Churches all his Doctrine, and deliver them all his Commands and Orders, and so to settle and guide the first Churches.
The second Proposition is, That Christ promised them his Spirit, to enable them to do what he had commissioned them to do, by leading them into all truth, and bringing his words and deeds to their remembrance, and by guiding them as his Churches Guides.
