Wherein, the church gouernment established in England, is directly proued to be consonant to the word of God, and that subiects ought of dutie to conforme themselues to the state ecclesiasticall. Together with, a defence of the crosse in baptisme; as it is vsed in our Church, being not repugnant to the word: and by a consequent, the brethren which are silenced, ought to subscribe vnto it, rather then to burie their talents in the ground.

ecclesiastical_a be_v subalternate_a and_o immediate_o subordinate_a unto_o our_o saviour_n christ_n now_o for_o as_o much_o as_o they_o which_o hold_v with_o the_o lie_v eldership_n and_o popular_a government_n do_v claim_v their_o authority_n immediate_o from_o god_n without_o the_o king_n they_o derogate_v from_o the_o king_n authority_n in_o ecclesiastical_a cause_n and_o in_o church_n matter_n they_o hold_v he_o for_o no_o king_n last_o whereas_o we_o object_n that_o popular_a government_n with_o we_o can_v be_v but_o tumultuous_a and_o he_o answer_v that_o no_o tumult_n can_v arise_v by_o their_o government_n consider_v four_o circumstance_n first_o that_o it_o be_v god_n ordinance_n second_o that_o it_o be_v to_o be_v execute_v by_o no_o great_a multitude_n than_o a_o

few_o be_v violent_a and_o unruly_a the_o next_o justice_n be_v to_o keep_v the_o peace_n among_o they_o it_o be_v but_o a_o answerless_a answer_n for_o first_o that_o popular_a government_n be_v not_o god_n but_o man_n ordinance_n as_o i_o have_v show_v second_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o diverse_a parish_n with_o we_o be_v so_o populous_a that_o they_o consist_v of_o many_o thousand_o and_o be_v as_o large_a in_o compass_n as_o some_o diocese_n in_o other_o place_n three_o for_o the_o guide_v of_o the_o church_n private_o to_o agree_v upon_o the_o matter_n and_o to_o urge_v the_o people_n and_o constrain_v they_o by_o the_o authority_n of_o justice_n of_o peace_n to_o yield_v unto_o that_o which_o they_o have_v decree_v be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o make_v it_o no_o popular_a election_n at_o all_o because_o then_o free_a consent_n be_v deny_v they_o and_o all_o authority_n rest_v in_o the_o guide_v of_o the_o church_n for_o if_o there_o be_v no_o tumult_n it_o be_v whole_o in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o church_n magistrate_n to_o conclude_v and_o establish_v what_o they_o listen_v and_o the_o people_n must_v agree_v to_o it_o if_o there_o be_v a_o tumult_n the_o magistrate_n of_o the_o church_n be_v to_o command_v the_o justice_n to_o execute_v what_o themselves_o will_v have_v do_v so_o that_o the_o people_n be_v use_v but_o as_o cipher_n and_o have_v no_o liberty_n in_o themselves_o so_o this_o be_v as_o good_a as_o no_o election_n of_o lord_n bishop_n and_o ecclesiastical_a person_n exercise_v civil_a authority_n the_o common_a objection_n be_v that_o our_o saviour_n be_v the_o chief_a bishop_n be_v not_o hold_v for_o a_o lord_n neither_o have_v he_o any_o outward_a pomp_n or_o glory_n in_o this_o world_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v if_o so_o be_v they_o infer_v this_o conclusion_n upon_o that_o example_n therefore_o bishop_n must_v not_o be_v lord_n the_o weakness_n of_o that_o argument_n will_v appear_v by_o the_o like_a for_o they_o may_v as_o well_o conclude_v against_o king_n that_o because_o our_o saviour_n be_v a_o king_n yet_o be_v no_o lord_n have_v no_o pomp_n nor_o glorie-therefore_a king_n must_v not_o be_v lord_n etc._n etc._n i_o can_v answer_v further_o 2._o tit._n 2._o that_o he_o be_v a_o lord_n and_o so_o the_o apostle_n do_v call_v he_o a_o great_a lord_n and_o the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n and_o the_o prince_n of_o 1_o eph._n 4._o 15._o apoc._n 1_o the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o because_o he_o be_v head_n of_o the_o church_n all_o king_n do_v hold_v their_o crown_n under_o he_o that_o the_o world_n do_v not_o acknowledge_v he_o for_o a_o lord_n it_o be_v their_o blindness_n he_o come_v to_o be_v crucify_v and_o have_v the_o world_n know_v he_o non_fw-la dominum_fw-la gloriae_fw-la
