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

be_v beyond_o all_o comparison_n great_a than_o this_o that_o be_v in_o question_n their_o five_o reason_n against_o our_o office_n be_v that_o we_o be_v call_v to_o read_v homily_n and_o injuction_n and_o whereunto_o we_o answer_v first_o that_o neither_o do_v the_o most_o of_o our_o minister_n read_v homily_n neither_o do_v any_o law_n of_o the_o land_n require_v that_o preacher_n shall_v read_v they_o second_o if_o law_n do_v enjoin_v they_o to_o all_o and_o all_o do_v read_v they_o yet_o be_v they_o not_o enjoin_v in_o our_o ordination_n nor_o account_v by_o law_n as_o substantial_a part_n of_o our_o office_n neither_o be_v their_o any_o doubt_n make_v in_o our_o land_n no_o not_o by_o they_o that_o do_v press_v the_o precise_a observation_n of_o law_n in_o this_o point_n whether_o he_o be_v a_o lawful_a minister_n who_o do_v not_o read_v either_o homily_n or_o injunction_n their_o six_o reason_n against_o our_o office_n be_v that_o we_o be_v call_v to_o marry_v bury_v and_o church_n woman_n to_o which_o also_o we_o answer_v first_o that_o it_o be_v no_o part_n of_o our_o office_n whereunto_o in_o ordination_n we_o be_v call_v to_o do_v these_o thing_n second_o as_o the_o minister_n use_v to_o bless_v the_o marriage_n that_o be_v make_v in_o our_o land_n so_o make_v we_o no_o doubt_n but_o that_o it_o be_v lawful_a and_o fit_a as_o a_o matter_n not_o of_o substance_n but_o of_o good_a order_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o do_v

the_o loss_n of_o those_o thing_n wherein_o the_o very_a life_n and_o be_v of_o a_o visible_a church_n consist_v either_o to_o remove_v the_o corruption_n that_o remain_v among_o we_o or_o to_o establish_v those_o church_n order_n which_o we_o want_v for_o although_o we_o doubt_v not_o but_o the_o whole_a truth_n of_o christ_n doctrine_n may_v be_v lawful_o teach_v though_o all_o the_o magistrate_n in_o the_o world_n gainsay_v it_o and_o practise_v also_o so_o far_o forth_o by_o every_o christian_a as_o the_o bound_n of_o his_o particular_a call_n permit_v and_o that_o it_o be_v the_o magistrate_n principal_a honour_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o man_n to_o yield_v and_o submit_v himself_o to_o the_o instruction_n reproof_n and_o censure_n of_o the_o church_n so_o far_o forth_o as_o they_o be_v agreeable_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n who_o be_v lord_n of_o lord_n and_o king_n of_o king_n yet_o can_v we_o not_o see_v good_a reason_n to_o persuade_v we_o that_o the_o church_n ought_v or_o may_v either_o pull_v down_o corrupt_a church_n government_n or_o erect_v the_o right_a discipline_n not_o only_o without_o but_o contrary_a to_o the_o like_v of_o christian_a magistrate_n thus_o much_o we_o find_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n prince_n godly_a prince_n first_o that_o in_o those_o public_a reformation_n of_o the_o church_n which_o the_o word_n commend_v the_o christian_a and_o godly_a prince_n be_v ever_o the_o principal_a actor_n second_o that_o for_o the_o want_n of_o public_a reformation_n the_o magistrate_n be_v every_o where_o blame_v and_o no_o where_o the_o church_n for_o aught_o we_o can_v find_v oft_o be_v the_o priest_n and_o people_n blame_v for_o erect_v and_o practise_v idolatry_n but_o never_o for_o that_o they_o pluck_v it_o not_o down_o when_o their_o prince_n have_v set_v they_o up_o neither_o can_v we_o find_v whether_o ever_o the_o church_n under_o a_o christian_a magistrate_n be_v by_o any_o prophet_n either_o command_v to_o deal_v otherwise_o then_o by_o persuasion_n in_o public_a reformation_n when_o the_o magistrate_n neglect_v it_o or_o reprove_v for_o the_o contrary_n to_o that_o which_o they_o be_v wont_a to_o say_v then_o the_o apostle_n be_v much_o to_o blame_v who_o in_o erect_v the_o church_n government_n never_o wait_v for_o nor_o seek_v the_o magistrate_n leave_v and_o good_a like_v we_o answer_v that_o though_o without_o the_o magistrate_n leave_v they_o do_v it_o yet_o not_o contrary_a to_o his_o like_n or_o when_o he_o oppose_v his_o authority_n direct_o and_o inhibit_v it_o the_o never_o erect_v the_o discipline_n when_o there_o be_v so_o direct_a a_o opposition_n make_v against_o it_o by_o the_o civil_a magistantes_n second_o if_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v that_o the_o apostle_n do_v so_o then_o yet_o will_v it_o not_o follow_v that_o we_o also_o may_v do_v so_o now_o for_o neither_o be_v the_o heathen_a magistrate_n altogether_o so_o much_o to_o be_v respect_v by_o the_o church_n as_o the_o christian_a magistrate_n be_v neither_o have_v our_o minister_n and_o people_n now_o so_o full_a and_o absolute_a a_o power_n to_o pull_v down_o and_o set_v up_o order_n in_o the_o church_n as_o the_o apostle_n those_o wise_a master_n bvilder_n have_v last_o though_o this_o be_v all_o prove_v notwithstanding_o fisth_o though_o we_o do_v voluntary_o continue_v in_o those_o know_a want_n &_o corruption_n have_v power_n to_o redress_v they_o yet_o may_v we_o be_v the_o true_a church_n notwithstanding_o that_o our_o assembly_n be_v thorough_o convince_v in_o these_o point_n and_o that_o we_o have_v power_n to_o reform_v that_o which_o be_v amiss_o do_v yet_o voluntary_o continue_v in_o those_o want_n and_o corruption_n yet_o may_v we_o be_v the_o true_a church_n of_o christ_n notwithstanding_o for_o as_o true_a faith_n in_o christ_n not_o moral_a obedience_n be_v that_o which_o give_v life_n and_o be_v to_o every_o true_a member_n of_o the_o church_n so_o the_o profession_n of_o true_a faith_n in_o christ_n rather_o than_o obedience_n be_v that_o which_o give_v the_o life_n and_o be_v to_o a_o visible_a assembly_n so_o we_o read_v that_o many_o upon_o
