2. Ministers being not heart-searchers, must pronounce Gods blessing on men, on uncertainties and mere probability of the event: 3. This benediction hath ever a condition implied, if the person be worthy or capable of it. 4. If that person be unworthy and unblest, the Minister is blameless, if he went according to probable profession: The fault was his own. 5. No Ministerial blessing, (Baptizing, the Lords Supper, Absolution, &c.) will save an unworthy person, that is, one not qualified for Salvation according to Gods promise.

14. And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.
14. And seeing you come not for any gain of your own, but to bring them the joyful tidings of Salvation, so heinous is the sin of unthankful churlish refusal, that you shall shake off the dust of your feet, as signifying the labour you used in vain for their Salvation, as a witness against them in time to come.
