Watchmen. | Parallel. Watchmen have a Charge committed to them, and they ought to take heed they do not betray their Trust. | Ministers have a great Charge committed to them, which they ought to see to, and so to behave themselves, that they may have their Accounts to give up with Joy: For, 1. They are entrusted with the Word, the faithful Word and Doctrine of God is committed to them; they must see they preach nothing for Doctrine, but what is the direct and undeniable Truth and Mind of God; they must not corrupt the Word, nor intermix it with the Traditions of Men. I give thee charge in the sight of God, 1who quickeneth all things, and before Christ, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good Confession, that thou keep this Commandment without spot, unrebukable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ. 2. They have received the Charge of preaching God's Word; they must preach, whoever forbid them. I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, 2who shall judg the Quick and the Dead at his appearing, and his Kingdom; preach the Word, be instant in season and out of season, reprove, exhort, with all Long-suffering and Doctrine. 3. They have the Charge of God's Ordinances, or the holy Sacraments of Baptism, and the Lord's Supper. Go therefore, teach all Nations, 3(i. e. make Disciples) baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy-Ghost, &c. For I received from the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, (I had it in charge, as if he should say, from Christ himself) that the same Night in which he was betrayed, 4he took Bread, and blessed it, and said, Take, eat, this is my Body which is broken for you; this do in remembrance of me: After the same manner he took the Cup, &c. They must not corrupt the Ordinances, nor administer them otherwise than the plain Rule, left in the Word of God, directeth. 4. They have the Charge of the Church and Flock of God:5 Take heed therefore unto your selves, and unto the Flock over which the Holy-Ghost hath made you Overseers, to feed the Church of God, which he hath purchased with his own Blood, &c. 5. They must know the State of the Flock, be Examples to the Flock:
