Wherein the repugnancy of his Erastian doctrine to the word of God, to the solemne League and Covenant, and to the ordinances of Parliament: also his contradictions, tergiversations, heterodoxies, calumnies, and perverting of testimonies, are made more apparent then formerly. Together with some animadversions upon Master Hussey his Plea for Christian magistracy: shewing, that in divers of the afore mentioned particulars he hath miscarried as much, and in some particulars more then Mr Coleman. / By George Gillespie, minister at Edinbrugh.

as_o his_o vicegerent_n he_o shake_v the_o foundation_n of_o magistracy_n i_o be_o sure_a that_o which_o i_o hold_v that_o all_o lawful_a magistrate_n be_v power_n ordain_v by_o god_n and_o be_v to_o be_v honour_v and_o obey_v as_o god_n vicegerent_n be_v a_o firm_a and_o strong_a foundation_n for_o magistracy_n but_o that_o which_o mr._n coleman_n and_o mr._n hussey_n hold_v viz._n that_o the_o

from_o scripture_n that_o christ_n as_o mediator_n have_v give_v a_o commission_n of_o vicegerentship_n to_o christian_a magistrate_n and_o appoint_v they_o not_o only_o to_o be_v seviceable_a to_o

also_o to_o govern_v vice_fw-la christi_fw-la in_o christ_n stead_n and_o that_o not_o only_o as_o he_o be_v god_n which_o be_v not_o controvert_v neither_o but_o as_o he_o be_v mediator_n this_o i_o say_v they_o must_v prove_v which_o they_o will_v never_o be_v able_a to_o do_v or_o otherwise_o they_o do_v by_o their_o doctrine_n lead_v the_o magistrate_n into_o a_o snare_n and_o leave_v he_o in_o it_o for_o how_o shall_v he_o be_v acknowledge_v for_o a_o vicegerent_n who_o can_v show_v no_o commission_n nor_o warrant_n for_o his_o vicegerentship_n second_o their_o doctrine_n tend_v to_o the_o alter_n of_o the_o sure_a and_o best_a know_a tenure_n of_o magistracy_n which_o be_v from_o god_n for_o they_o hold_v that_o god_n have_v put_v all_o government_n and_o all_o authority_n civil_a and_o all_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o christ_n as_o mediator_n if_o the_o tenure_n from_o christ_n fail_v then_o by_o their_o doctrine_n the_o tenure_n from_o god_n shall_v fail_v too_o three_o the_o vicegerent_n can_v act_v in_o that_o capacity_n nor_o assume_v that_o power_n which_o his_o sovereign_a who_o vicegerent_n he_o be_v ought_v not_o to_o assume_v if_o he_o be_v personal_o present_a so_o that_o by_o their_o principle_n it_o will_v follow_v that_o the_o christian_a magistrate_n can_v act_v no_o further_o nor_o assume_v any_o other_o power_n of_o government_n than_o christ_n himself_o may_v have_v assume_v when_o he_o be_v on_o earth_n or_o may_v now_o assume_v and_o exercise_v as_o mediator_n if_o he_o be_v on_o earth_n but_o christ_n himself_o when_o he_o be_v
