A92173	A most grave, and modest confutation of the errors of the sect, commonly called Brownists, or: Seperatists. Agreed upon long since by the joynt consent of sundry, godly, and learned ministers of this kingdome, then standing out and suffering in the cause of inconformity; and now published in a time of need, for the good of Gods Church, and the better setling of mens unstable mindes in the truth against, the subtile insinuations, and plausible pretences of that pernicious evill. Published by W. Rathband, minister of the Gospell.	Rathband, William, d. 1695.	1644 (1644)	Wing R299; Wing M2893; Thomason E31_11; ESTC R209828	84,262	92

notwithstanding_o that_o it_o be_v object_v of_o other_o mean_n viz._n that_o thereby_o the_o popish_a church_n and_o ministry_n may_v be_v justify_v as_o well_o as_o we_o see_v that_o many_o have_v be_v convert_v by_o private_a conference_n and_o read_v and_o by_o domestical_a preach_n and_o exhortation_n without_o a_o public_a church_n all_v we_o answer_v that_o though_o the_o lord_n have_v be_v often_o wont_a heretofore_o and_o be_v able_a still_o to_o convert_v soul_n by_o private_a mean_n and_o such_o as_o be_v extraordinary_a yet_o can_v it_o be_v prove_v that_o any_o have_v be_v

that_o true_a doctrine_n without_o a_o true_a ministry_n do_v ordinary_o convert_v man_n but_o prove_v it_o not_o nor_o indeed_o be_v able_a to_o prove_v it_o as_o shall_v hereafter_o appear_v in_o the_o answer_n we_o make_v to_o the_o second_o article_n of_o their_o consequence_n but_o our_o minister_n have_v no_o promise_n of_o blessing_n in_o their_o teach_n say_v they_o and_o therefore_o neither_o may_v they_o lawful_o teach_v nor_o the_o people_n hear_v they_o to_o this_o we_o answer_v first_o 7._o ezech._n 3.2_o 7._o that_o god_n minister_n have_v lawful_o teach_v when_o they_o

it_o be_v well_o know_v not_o only_o that_o many_o of_o our_o minister_n be_v usual_o call_v by_o such_o name_n as_o the_o scripture_n give_v but_o also_o that_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n in_o

the_o office_n be_v not_o therefore_o to_o be_v refuse_v much_o less_o be_v the_o power_n to_o preach_v the_o word_n and_o to_o administer_v the_o one_o of_o the_o sacrament_n therefore_o to_o be_v refuse_v because_o it_o be_v give_v by_o the_o name_n of_o the_o deacon_n office_n consider_v that_o although_o in_o the_o strict_a and_o most_o proper_a sense_n the_o scripture_n call_v they_o

restrain_v we_o from_o deal_v with_o the_o one_o sacrament_n and_o so_o separate_v those_o thing_n which_o god_n have_v couple_v we_o answer_v that_o this_o can_v be_v no_o reason_n against_o our_o
