to dÍviUfie SAINTS. his Minifters, Gee and teach all Nations, Baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son,and of the holy Ghofl, and le I am with you to the end of the world, Matth.28.19,20. this is our comfort that Chrift will be with us , and this is the Eicets comfort, they (hall be fore to finde him with us in our Miniftery. Secondly, if Chrift hath the fending of us. we mutt bee fire we doe his meliage,that we perform the work he fends us to doe, every meiféuger fhould doe thus; nay, Chrift himfelfe did thus, I feeknot mine owne will , but the will of the father which hash fens me,Joh.5.3o.Ifa Merchant fhould fend a fervant beyond Sea, to be a Faftor for him, if that fervant fhould go and trade for himfelfe, to get monies for himfelf , and an eftate fir him`elçb, and ne ;left his`Mailers bufìneffe , he may look for a cold welcome home : fo when Chrift fends us to bee Fa &ors for him, to fee what Souks we can gaine unto him; if we fhould now Peek our felves, how to be rich, how to be fome body in the world,how to get preferment, and fo leave his bufìneffe undone; we may look for acold welcome home , when wee Thad be brought before God.

Lord I have done thus and thus, I have declared all thy whole counfell , I have kept nothing. back :I have done thy meffage, and fuch and fcCahave 103 life 2. if 3.
