To institute or ordain, and to maintain the ministry of the Gospel, to raise up and to send Prophets, Apostles, and other ministers of the Church, to bestow on them the gift of proph•cie, and to furnish them with gifts necessary to their ministry He (that is,4 Christ) hath given some Apostles some Prophets, and some Doctors, &c.
