In the defence of a short paper published by the first classis within the province of Lancaster ... but since printed without their privity or consent, after it had been assaulted by some gentlemen and others within their bounds ... under the title of Ex-communicatio excommunicata, or a Censure of the presbyterian censures and proceedings, in the classis at Manchester. Wherein 1. The dangerousness of admitting moderate episcopacy is shewed. ... 6. The presbyterian government vindicated from severall aspersions cast upon it, ... In three full answers ... Together with a full narrative, of the occasion and grounds, of publishing in the congregations, the above mentioned short paper, and of the whole proceedings since, from first to last.

well_o remember_v how_o under_o the_o episcopal_a government_n there_o be_v a_o general_a admission_n and_o that_o sundry_a gross_o ignorant_a do_v crowd_n in_o among_o the_o rest_n unto_o this_o ordinance_n and_o therefore_o that_o these_o may_v be_v discover_v and_o keep_v off_o from_o this_o sacrament_n till_o fit_a for_o it_o we_o judge_v it_o requisite_a that_o according_a to_o that_o power_n that_o be_v glven_v to_o the_o eldership_n in_o the_o form_n of_o church-government_n for_o this_o purpose_n there_o shall_v be_v a_o trial_n take_v of_o all_o the_o communicant_n that_o so_o there_o may_v be_v some_o distinction_n make_v and_o not_o be_v a_o promiscuous_a admit_v of_o all_o as_o heretofore_o and_o we_o be_v sure_a that_o such_o among_o we_o who_o have_v be_v ancient_o catechise_v and_o a_o long_a while_n commoner_n at_o the_o lord_n table_n to_o use_v your_o own_o expression_n have_v witness_v the_o best_a confession_n for_o their_o part_n and_o piety_n have_v be_v the_o most_o forward_o to_o draw_v on_o other_o to_o be_v willing_a to_o be_v re-examined_a by_o their_o own_o good_a example_n therein_o and_o that_o the_o great_a opposer_n of_o this_o course_n however_o they_o may_v be_v some_o of_o they_o person_n of_o part_n yet_o have_v be_v such_o as_o have_v be_v either_o scandalous_a in_o their_o life_n or_o not_o so_o forward_o for_o piety_n as_o be_v to_o be_v desire_v we_o have_v thus_o give_v a_o account_n of_o what_o be_v our_o practice_n in_o this_o matter_n but_o this_o examination_n of_o communicants_a de_fw-fr novo_fw-la be_v not_o the_o thing_n we_o here_o speak_v of_o as_o why_o the_o examination_n of_o they_o before_o their_o admission_n of_o they_o at_o the_o first_o be_v here_o mention_v we_o have_v delare_v before_o but_o we_o see_v you_o be_v willing_a to_o lay_v hold_n on_o any_o thing_n wherein_o you_o apprehend_v you_o have_v any_o advantage_n against_o we_o though_o it_o be_v never_o so_o small_a five_o you_o charge_v we_o again_o with_o another_o non_fw-la sequitur_fw-la when_o we_o infer_v that_o if_o the_o church_n lawful_a pastor_n have_v power_n to_o excommunicate_v the_o scandalous_a we_o see_v not_o in_o reason_n how_o you_o can_v find_v fault_n with_o our_o proceed_n if_o there_o shall_v be_v occasion_n for_o our_o censure_v any_o such_o person_n but_o this_o inference_n yet_o stand_v good_a against_o any_o thing_n by_o you_o allege_v to_o the_o contrary_a and_o in_o itself_o be_v clear_a and_o manifest_a be_v there_o be_v no_o excommunication_n that_o pass_v with_o we_o against_o any_o but_o by_o the_o juridical_a act_n of_o the_o lawful_a pastor_n of_o our_o several_a church_n or_o congregation_n and_o who_o power_n by_o you_o shall_v not_o be_v question_v or_o the_o validity_n of_o their_o censure_n because_o of_o the_o concurrence_n of_o the_o roll_a elder_n as_o by_o way_n of_o prevent_v a_o objection_n we_o hint_v to_o you_o in_o our_o answer_n consider_v what_o power_n be_v exercise_v in_o the_o time_n of_o episcopacy_n by_o the_o high_a commissioner_n chancellor_n and_o commissary_n as_o much_o layman_n then_o in_o your_o judgement_n as_o rule_v elder_n can_v be_v now_o to_o who_o yet_o there_o be_v a_o submission_n by_o you_o this_o reason_n you_o say_v be_v weak_a but_o you_o do_v not_o prove_v it_o to_o be_v so_o nay_o here_o you_o fall_v short_a in_o two_o main_a point_n for_o 1._o you_o misrepresent_v the_o matter_n of_o fact_n and_o that_o in_o two_o particular_n 1._o when_o you_o will_v intimate_v that_o the_o high-commissioner_n chancellor_n and_o commissary_n do_v all_o of_o they_o officiate_v by_o deputation_n from_o and_o under_o a_o lawful_a pastor_n when_o as_o it_o be_v manifest_a the_o high-commissioner_n have_v no_o deputation_n from_o the_o bishop_n but_o receive_v their_o commission_n from_o the_o king_n if_o not_o the_o chancellor_n also_o and_o do_v act_n in_o those_o ecclesiastical_a censure_n that_o be_v by_o they_o pass_v in_o joint_n and_o equal_a power_n with_o the_o bishop_n by_o virtue_n of_o their_o commission_n 2._o the_o parliament_n that_o do_v appoint_v the_o ruling-elders_a in_o the_o form_n of_o church_n government_n do_v not_o oblige_v any_o that_o be_v to_o submit_v to_o they_o to_o acknowledge_v the_o jus_o divinum_fw-la of_o their_o office_n neither_o do_v we_o impose_v this_o opinion_n of_o they_o upon_o any_o and_o therefore_o notwithstanding_o our_o own_o judgement_n concern_v they_o in_o this_o respect_n the_o comparison_n betwixt_o they_o and_o the_o other_o as_o to_o what_o be_v necessary_a for_o your_o satisfaction_n do_v still_o hold_v good_a and_o be_v neither_o weak_a nor_o frivolous_a as_o you_o say_v 2._o but_o if_o the_o matter_n of_o fact_n shall_v be_v grant_v to_o have_v be_v according_a to_o your_o representation_n sc_n that_o high-commissioner_n chancellor_n etc._n etc._n do_v all_o of_o they_o officiate_v by_o deputation_n from_o or_o under_o a_o lawful_a pastor_n how_o do_v this_o help_n the_o matter_n to_o make_v your_o submission_n to_o these_o lawful_a and_o yet_o your_o submission_n to_o the_o roll_a elder_n unlawful_a for_o 1._o we_o be_v as_o yet_o to_o learn_v and_o we_o think_v you_o will_v never_o be_v able_a to_o make_v it_o good_a that_o a_o trust_v commit_v to_o one_o by_o man_n bacon_n much_o less_o repose_v by_o god_n in_o a_o officer_n in_o the_o church_n and_o particular_o in_o the_o pastor_n may_v be_v delegated_a if_o this_o be_v so_o he_o may_v sufficient_o discharge_v his_o duty_n by_o another_o preach_v by_o another_o administer_v the_o sacrament_n by_o another_o as_o well_o as_o dispense_v the_o censure_n of_o the_o church_n by_o another_o who_o yet_o himself_o be_v to_o give_v a_o account_n of_o their_o soul_n unto_o god_n which_o he_o will_v never_o be_v able_a to_o make_v in_o the_o omission_n of_o those_o duty_n in_o his_o own_o person_n though_o he_o appoint_v another_o unto_o they_o but_o be_v the_o high_a officer_n in_o the_o church_n do_v not_o himself_o act_v out_o of_o plenitude_n of_o power_n for_o that_o be_v to_o make_v he_o a_o pope_n and_o antichrist_n that_o belong_v only_o to_o jesus_n christ_n the_o king_n and_o 18._o lord_n of_o the_o church_n to_o who_o all_o power_n be_v give_v in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o have_v no_o more_o but_o a_o ministry_n commit_v to_o he_o which_o he_o have_v receive_v of_o christ_n as_o his_o servant_n who_o have_v require_v he_o to_o fulfil_v it_o he_o may_v not_o 17._o depute_v any_o other_o as_o under_o he_o or_o as_o his_o servant_n to_o do_v that_o which_o his_o lord_n and_o master_n have_v entrust_v he_o with_o and_o appoint_v he_o to_o do_v himself_o 2._o but_o further_o we_o do_v here_o inquire_v of_o you_o whether_o by_o virtue_n of_o that_o deputation_n which_o the_o person_n speak_v of_o receive_v from_o a_o lawful_a pastor_n according_a to_o your_o allegation_n you_o will_v have_v they_o to_o be_v ecclesiastical_a officer_n or_o but_o mere_a lay-man_n still_o if_o notwithstanding_o that_o deputation_n they_o be_v but_o mere_a lay-man_n how_o will_v you_o awarrant_v they_o to_o meddle_v with_o eccelesiastical_a censure_n because_o depute_a thereunto_o by_o the_o bishop_n when_o god_n have_v exclude_v all_o those_o that_o be_v but_o mere_a lay-man_n from_o meddle_v authoritative_o with_o ecclesiastical_a matter_n if_o the_o highpriest_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n have_v give_v to_o vzziah_n a_o commission_n to_o have_v go_v into_o the_o temple_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o burn_v incense_n upon_o the_o altar_n of_o incense_n and_o he_o have_v so_o officiate_v by_o deputation_n from_o and_o under_o he_o will_v that_o have_v be_v sufficient_a to_o have_v bear_v he_o out_o in_o so_o do_v whenas_o that_o work_n pertain_v not_o unto_o he_o but_o unto_o the_o priest_n the_o son_n of_o aaron_n that_o be_v 18._o consecrate_v to_o burn_v incense_n if_o by_o virtue_n of_o that_o deputation_n they_o have_v from_o the_o bishop_n they_o be_v ecclesiastical_a officer_n invest_v with_o authority_n to_o exercise_v ecclesiastical_a jurisdiction_n and_o dispense_v church-censure_n and_o so_o not_o mere_a lay-man_n we_o may_v say_v much_o more_o for_o the_o outward_a call_n unto_o that_o office_n that_o our_o roll_a elder_n do_v execute_v they_o have_v be_v elect_v by_o the_o people_n that_o ancient_o have_v a_o vote_n in_o the_o choice_n even_o of_o the_o very_a bishop_n as_o be_v clear_a from_o the_o record_n of_o antiquity_n and_o examine_v by_o the_o pastor_n of_o the_o church_n and_o by_o they_o approve_v as_o fit_v and_o set_v apart_o solemn_o to_o rule_v in_o the_o house_n of_o god_n by_o exhortation_n and_o prayer_n as_o have_v be_v say_v before_o 6._o but_o you_o now_o go_v on_o and_o declare_v who_o you_o mean_v by_o lawful_a pastor_n sc_n such_o person_n as_o have_v receive_v their_o ordination_n from_o man_n lawful_o and_o
