ANSWER.
ANSVVER.
You are strangely taken with this note; for you have brought nothing but a bare repetition, of what you have ⟨p. 89⟩said over and over. If you speak of the substantial and essential parts of the Ministry, it is freely granted, that the true Ministry is by the word of God, and heavenly. But if you extend it to every circumstantial order, whereby in this or that Society, the Minister is to execute the function he hath received of God, it is not approved. But of this you need not to have made so many words. To your assumption, answer hath been returned already.
