Five disputations of church-government and worship

§. 32. The persons to be exercised in this ambulatory Ministration, may be determined of, and their Provinces distributed any of these three ways, or all together. 1. By the Judgement and Consent of Pastors. If many shall choose out one, or two, or more, as •it for such a work, the persons chosen have reason to obey, unless they can prove, or know the Pastors to be mistaken, and to have been misguided in their choice. The Prophets and ⟨p. 285⟩Teachers of the Church at Antioch must send or separate Saul and Barnabas, for the sp•cial work in which the Holy Ghost would employ them, Act. 13.1, 2. which seems to me, to be but a secondary Call to some special exercise of their former Office, one way rather then another. Thus also by mutual agreement their Provinces may be allotted and divided.
