Fourthly and Lastly, My Counsel to the Church is, that you will look out ⟨p. 50⟩a Minister of Jesus Christ, whom he hath in some competent measure, qualified with such Ministerial Gifts and Graces as may make him worthy of so great honour, as is due to a Pastor, and Elder of the Church of God, yea, of double honour, 1 Tim. 5.17. Both of Maintenance and Obedience, Heb. 13.17.
And now my dearly beloved Brethren and Sisters, I commit you all to the Word of his Grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an Inheritance among them which are Sanctified. So I remain, while in this Tabernacle,
Your Brother in the Lord Hanserd Knollys.
FINIS.
