SECT. III.
THE Observations which the Text affordeth us are so many, that I may not now stay so much as to name them: but shall only lay down that one which containeth the main scope of the Text, and take in the rest as subordinate motives in the handling of that, in the method which the Apostle doth here deliver them to us.
Doct. THE Pastors or Over-seers of the Churches of Christ, must take great heed both to themselves, and to all their Flocks in all the parts of their Pastoral work.
The method which we shall follow in handling this point, shall be this. 1. I shall briefly open to you the terms of the subject: What is meant by Pastors and Churches. 2. I shall show you what it is to Take heed to our selves, and wherein it must be done. 3. I shall give some brief Reasons of that part of the point. 4. I shall show you, What it is to Take heed to all the Flock in our Pastoral work, and wherein it must be done. 5. I shall make some Application of all.
