they_o now_o adays_o acknowledge_v the_o church_n of_o christ_n to_o have_v be_v always_o visible_a and_o moreover_o that_o this_o visible_a church_n remain_v still_o in_o the_o popedom_n as_o they_o

whole_a church_n but_o only_o of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o israel_n 18._o wherein_o the_o wicked_a king_n achab_n then_o reign_v albeit_o in_o it_o also_o there_o be_v seven_o thousand_o man_n who_o do_v not_o adore_v baal_n and_o who_o make_v a_o visible_a church_n moreover_o at_o that_o very_a time_n josaphat_n a_o very_a pious_a and_o goodly_a king_n reign_v &_o there_o be_v also_o the_o temple_n of_o god_n and_o priest_n and_o sacrifice_n as_o also_o public_a solemn_a and_o daily_a service_n of_o god_n yea_o out_o of_o the_o second_o book_n of_o paralippomenon_n we_o gather_v that_o king_n josaphat_n labour_v very_o much_o to_o conserve_v and_o increase_v the_o honour_n and_o worship_n of_o god_n seq_n neither_o be_v the_o number_n of_o they_o little_a who_o profess_v public_o the_o

seq_n by_o which_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o church_n of_o god_n be_v not_o invisible_a in_o josaphats_n kingdom_n but_o rather_o very_o visible_a and_o conspicuous_a but_o elias_n only_o complain_v of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o israel_n 14_o they_o to_o wit_n the_o child_n of_o israel_n and_o not_o the_o child_n of_o juda_n have_v forsake_v thy_o covenant_n neither_o do_v we_o deny_v but_o that_o in_o some_o one_o or_o other_o kingdom_n there_o may_v sometime_o peradventure_o have_v by●_n few_o or_o no_o christian_n whil_n in_o far_o more_o place_n the_o church_n of_o god_n be_v very_o manifest_a and_o visible_a but_o that_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n be_v no_o where_o to_o be_v find_v in_o the_o whole_a world_n be_v most_o absurd_a and_o express_o against_o the_o holy_a scripture_n 3._o the_o second_o argument_n be_v take_v out_o of_o many_o place_n of_o isaiah_n &_o jeremy_n wherein_o those_o prophet_n complain_v that_o all_o the_o jew_n do_v transgress_v the_o covenant_n make_v with_o god_n moreover_o they_o object_v the_o small_a number_n of_o those_o who_o be_v sometime_o in_o the_o ancient_a church_n before_o christ_n time_n or_o even_o in_o christ_n time_n before_o the_o gospel_n be_v promulgate_v and_o here_o they_o make_v many_o disgression_n to_o noë_n and_o adam_n himself_o the_o very_a same_o argument_n the_o donatist_n also_o use_v as_o the_o word_n of_o bishop_n petilian●estify_v ●estify_z relate_v by_o s._n augustine_n 13._o but_o s._n augustine_n answer_v very_o well_o to_o those_o general_a complaint_n of_o the_o prophet_n that_o

there_o live_v the_o good_a king_n josias_n 1._o and_o the_o good_a prophet_n ezechiel_n daniel_n and_o sophonias_n therefore_o those_o thing_n which_o isaiah_n and_o hieremy_n do_v say_v can_v be_v

who_o have_v their_o ordinary_a vocation_n in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n 4._o the_o first_o argument_n 1._o s._n paul_n be_v immediate_o and_o extraordinary_o call_v by_o god_n as_o he_o write_v himself_o and_o yet_o he_o be_v send_v to_o anainas_n who_o have_v the_o ordinary_a vocation_n 7._o that_o by_o he_o he_o may_v be_v instruct_v and_o baptize_v and_o afterward_o together_o with_o s._n

he_o may_v seem_v to_o have_v run_v or_o labour_v in_o vain_a they_o therefore_o who_o refuse_v the_o approbation_n of_o the_o visible_a church_n albeit_o they_o be_v never_o so_o extraordinary_o call_v thereunto_o they_o do_v but_o labour_v in_o vain_a 5._o the_o second_o argument_n we_o m●st_v not_o easy_o believe_v every_o one_o who_o affirm_v himself_o to_o be_v extraordinary_o send_v by_o god_n 1._o according_a to_o that_o admonition_n of_o s._n john_n believe_v not_o every_o spirit_n but_o prove_v the_o spirit_n whether_o they_o be_v of_o god_n because_o many_o false_a prophet_n be_v go_v out_o into_o the_o world_n but_o this_o proof_n or_o trial_n can_v be_v better_a do_v then_o by_o christ_n church_n which_o be_v as_o s._n paul_n write_v 15._o the_o pillar_n and_o ground_n of_o truth_n the_o which_o also_o s._n john_n clear_o show_v by_o the_o word_n follow_v when_o he_o say_v he_o that_o know_v god_n hear_v we_o he_o that_o be_v not_o of_o god_n ●_o hear_v we_o not_o in_o this_o we_o know_v the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o error_n it_o be_v therefore_o a_o most_o certain_a rule_n whereby_o this_o extraordinary_a vocation_n be_v examine_v to_o demand_v whether_o it_o will_v submit_v itself_o to_o the_o approbation_n of_o the_o visible_a church_n and_o will_v hear_v she_o or_o no_o for_o he_o who_o hear_v the_o church_n have_v the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n and_o the_o true_a extraordinary_a vocation_n but_o he_o who_o will_v not_o hear_v the_o church_n have_v the_o spirit_n of_o error_n and_o the_o false_a extraordinary_a vocation_n 6._o the_o three_o argument_n the_o holy_a ghost_n never_o contradict_v himself_o for_o otherwise_o which_o god_n forbid_v he_o shall_v not_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n but_o of_o falsehood_n for_o truth_n be_v never_o repugnant_a to_o truth_n but_o to_o falsehood_n see_v that_o therefore_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o ordinary_a vocation_n be_v from_o the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o extraordinary_a can_v be_v opposite_a unto_o it_o which_o be_v true_o from_o the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o otherwise_o god_n shall_v be_v opposite_a unto_o himself_o which_o be_v impiety_n to_o think_v wherefore_o it_o necessary_o follow_v that_o the_o extraordinary_a vocation_n must_v agree_v with_o the_o ordidinary_a and_o be_v subject_a unto_o it_o as_o also_o it_o must_v establish_v and_o confirm_v but_o not_o impugn_v it_o 32._o hereupon_o say_v the_o apostle_n the_o spirit_n of_o the_o prophet_n be_v subject_a to_o the_o prophet_n if_o they_o be_v subject_a to_o the_o prophet_n much_o more_o to_o the_o whole_a church_n of_o christ._n 7._o the_o four_o argument_n there_o will_v arise_v a_o great_a confusion_n in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n if_o every_o one_o be_v permit_v to_o preach_v and_o administer_v the_o sacrament_n that_o shall_v affirm_v himself_o to_o be_v extraordinary_o call_v without_o any_o other_o examine_v or_o approbation_n of_o the_o church_n for_o so_o every_o fantastical_a fellow_n may_v free_o brag_v and_o affirm_v himself_o to_o be_v extraordinary_o call_v by_o god_n and_o under_o that_o pretence_n and_o title_n may_v preach_v administer_v the_o sacrament_n and_o exercise_v all_o other_o ecclesiastical_a office_n confess_n 8._o by_o these_o argument_n some_o more_o learned_a among_o our_o adversary_n be_v convince_v do_v acknowledge_v that_o all_o extraordinary_a vocation_n shall_v be_v examine_v and_o approve_v by_o the_o ordinary_a pastor_n of_o christ_n church_n 4._o but_o they_o add_v moreover_o that_o this_o be_v true_a when_o the_o church_n itself_o follow_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o as_o long_o as_o the_o ordinary_a vocation_n remain_v in_o she_o but_o in_o vain_a do_v they_o add_v these_o condition_n 13._o because_o we_o have_v already_o prove_v that_o the_o true_a church_n always_o follow_v the_o word_n of_o god_n nor_o can_v depart_v or_o decline_v in_o any_o sort_n from_o it_o for_o otherwise_o she_o be_v not_o the_o true_a church_n of_o god_n but_o the_o synagogue_n of_o satan_n and_o the_o apostle_n also_o express_o say_v that_o the_o ordinary_a vocation_n of_o pastor_n &_o their_o continual_a succession_n shall_v remain_v always_o in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n until_o we_o meet_v all_o with_o christ_n in_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n 25._o by_o which_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n calvin_n also_o and_o beza_n be_v convince_v do_v confess_v that_o there_o must_v always_o be_v pastor_n and_o doctor_n in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n and_o that_o the_o say_a church_n can_v consist_v without_o they_o the_o same_o also_o their_o confession_n make_v at_o rochel_n acknowledge_v in_o the_o 25._o article_n 9_o some_o of_o our_o adversary_n do_v here_o object_v unto_o we_o the_o example_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n for_o say_v they_o their_o doctrine_n be_v never_o approve_v by_o the_o ancient_a church_n of_o the_o jew_n whereas_o notwithstanding_o it_o be_v extraordinary_a but_o this_o be_v a_o very_a frivolous_a and_o odious_a comparison_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n with_o their_o minister_n for_o it_o be_v express_o foretell_v by_o the_o prophet_n that_o christ_n be_v to_o abrogate_v the_o old_a law_n and_o the_o carnal_a vocation_n and_o succession_n thereof_o 23._o and_o that_o he_o be_v to_o ordain_v another_o more_o excellent_a and_o spiritual_a the_o which_o he_o effect_v indeed_o wherefore_o see_v that_o now_o the_o apostle_n have_v another_o far_o more_o excellent_a vocation_n institute_v by_o christ_n there_o be_v no_o reason_n they_o shall_v ask_v any_o vocation_n from_o moses_n but_o we_o read_v no_o where_o that_o the_o vocation_n ordain_v by_o christ_n be_v to_o be_v abrogate_a by_o any_o other_o whosoever_o but_o contrariwise_o the_o holy_a scripture_n do_v plain_o teach_v that_o the_o vocation_n ordain_v by_o christ_n shall_v endure_v till_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n ●3_n wherefore_o our_o
