Inferences.
WE may infer from hence, That God takes great Care, and shews much Pity to the Sons of Men, in that he hath provided his faithful Ministers to watch over them.
II. It also shews, that all true Ministers are Ministers of God's making:* 1.1Son of Man, I have made thee a Watchman, &c. There are many that God never made Mini∣sters, nor doth he approve of them.
III. It shews what the Work and Office of a Minister is; also that their Work is hard: A Watchman's Work is an hard and difficult Work. Many endeavour to avoid coming upon the Watch, shifting it off to others, and rather chuse to pay their Money, than serve in their own Persons; Watchmen are upon Duty, when others are asleep in their Beds. Thou shalt give them warning from me.* 1.2 Ministers must not come in their own Names, but in Christ's Name. As they come with God's Word, they come in his Name, in his Authority, to reprove, admonish, comfort, &c. Mi∣nisters must learn as well as teach: What I received from Christ, I delivered to you, &c.* 1.3Thou shalt hear the Word at my Mouth. They must not come with Man's Word, or warn People to be subject to the Traditions, Inventions, and Doctrines of Men: I will stand upon my Watch, and set me upon the Tower,* 1.4and will watch to see what he will say unto me.
