above-mentioned, we see in holy writ three especiall orders of Eccle∣siasticall ministers appointed by the Lord: the first whereof is chiefly im∣ploy'd in those things which apper∣tain to the exciting and cherishing of faith in Christ; such are the Teachers and Pastors which administer the word and Sacraments in the con∣gregations of the faithfull: the se∣cond in those things which are pe∣culiarly ordained for the exciting of repentance in the brethren; such are the Elders, and Overseers of man∣ners, who undertake the care of di∣scipline, and use all their endeavours that every one live Christianly and piously, to the glory of God and edification of the Church; of which the Apostle treateth in severall places, but chiefly in the Epistle to Timo∣thy,* 1.1 according as that place is ex∣pounded by St. Ambrose and all the best interpreters: but the third espe∣cially manageth those things, which appear to belong to charity, as the taking care of the poor and sick;* 1.2 such are the Deacons spoken of in the Acts, and otherwhere frequently by St. Paul.
