First, Plainly (1 Cor: 2.4.) In the demonstration of the Spirit.
Secondly, boldly, not flattering the persons, nor fearing the faces of men. Thirdly, They should speak authoritatively, though they beseech, and beg, and pray, yet they are to do all as having a warrant for what they do, and as being clothed with power from on high. If any man speak (saith the Apostle, 1 Pet. 4.11.) let him speak as the Oracles of God. As he is to speak the Oracles of God, so as the oracles of God. Some speak, who do not speak the oracles of God, but their own opinions. Others speak the oracles of God materially, that is, they deliver divine truths, yet they do not speak them as the oracles of God, with that authority which becomes the Gospel; we say of some, They mar their tale in the telling; Though they report, or tell the mind of him that sent them, yet they spoil it in reporting it; The Ministers of the Gospel spoil their message, unless they report it plainly, boldly, and with Authority.
