a_o defence_n of_o that_o which_o have_v be_v write_v in_o the_o question_n of_o the_o ignorant_a ministry_n and_o the_o communicate_v with_o they_o by_o john_n penri_n there_o be_v two_o thing_n m._n

wherein_o you_o have_v deal_v with_o so_o illiberal_a a_o hand_n that_o what_o have_v be_v write_v by_o you_o may_v seem_v to_o proceed_v rather_o from_o any_o then_o from_o a_o man_n who_o gift_n and_o learning_n seem_v to_o promise_v the_o affordinge_n of_o great_a and_o more_o weighty_a matter_n than_o any_o set_v down_o in_o that_o treatise_n the_o number_n of_o my_o reason_n be_v many_o you_o only_o have_v touch_v 2._o of_o they_o the_o rest_n be_v not_o deal_v with_o and_o therefore_o the_o cause_n as_o yet_o remain_v whole_a for_o be_v it_o you_o have_v answer_v these_o 2._o as_o

of_o my_o reason_n remain_v unanswered_a in_o this_o point_n there_o be_v also_o another_o want_n which_o i_o will_v have_v be_v redress_v and_o that_o be_v of_o two_o sort_n first_o a_o manifest_a go_v from_o the_o controversy_n for_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o ignorant_a man_n not_o ordain_v of_o god_n for_o the_o gather_v together_o of_o the_o saint_n be_v minister_n or_o no_o you_o

former_a be_v determine_v and_o decide_v second_o your_o reason_n be_v so_o few_o &_o so_o common_o know_v unto_o all_o that_o for_o their_o number_n a_o small_a deate_n of_o paper_n may_v contain_v a_o answer_n unto_o they_o for_o their_o novelty_n they_o can_v not_o put_v a_o man_n that_o have_v accord_v unto_o knowledge_n but_o once_o allow_v of_o the_o cause_n to_o any_o great_a labour_n in_o

that_o the_o oppugn_v of_o a_o cause_n countenance_v by_o most_o of_o the_o godly_a learned_a will_v be_v take_v in_o hand_n by_o any_o who_o can_v not_o answer_v the_o reason_n which_o he_o may_v be_v sure_o will_v be_v object_v by_o al._n and_o who_o can_v be_v ignorant_a that_o the_o odious_a controversy_n concern_v the_o profanation_n of_o baptism_n both_o by_o popish_a priest_n &_o our_o

either_o because_o they_o desire_v that_o for_o grant_v which_o be_v the_o question_n or_o make_v those_o thing_n of_o like_a nature_n wherein_o there_o be_v a_o great_a dissimilitude_n fron_n the_o first_o of_o the_o 2._o fault_n it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o you_o take_v for_o grant_v that_o the_o writing_n of_o reverend_a and_o godly_a man_n as_o of_o augustine_n m._n beza_n etc._n etc._n will_v prove_v that_o which_o the_o word_n of_o the_o eternal_a god_n do_v not_o warrant_n hence_o you_o take_v it_o grant_v that_o popish_a priest_n be_v minister_n that_o the_o outward_a

by_o seek_v to_o stay_v the_o course_n of_o a_o needful_a controversy_n you_o have_v both_o give_v it_o a_o large_a passage_n and_o open_v the_o door_n unto_o a_o question_n very_o fruitless_a in_o our_o time_n you_o know_v i_o deal_v in_o neither_o of_o these_o point_n if_o you_o can_v be_v stay_v from_o enter_v into_o controversy_n that_o be_v very_o odious_a and_o more_o impertinent_a unto_o the_o matter_n in_o hand_n it_o be_v
idolator_n therefore_o they_o be_v no_o minister_n the_o proposition_n appear_v in_o that_o a_o minister_n can_v be_v make_v by_o none_o but_o by_o such_o as_o unto_o who_o the_o lord_n have_v give_v leave_n to_o deal_v in_o that_o action_n otherwise_o the_o action_n be_v frustrate_a as_o if_o a_o company_n of_o woman_n though_o religious_a and_o godly_a shall_v go_v about_o to_o make_v a_o minister_n the_o action_n be_v nothing_o of_o the_o assumption_n that_o popish_a priest_n be_v make_v by_o idolator_n i_o make_v no_o question_n and_o when_o do_v god_n give_v idolator_n leave_v to_o make_v minister_n see_v therefore_o that_o popish_a priest_n be_v no_o minister_n i_o see_v no_o show_n of_o probability_n whereupon_o my_o faith_n or_o the_o faith_n of_o any_o can_v be_v assure_v to_o receive_v true_a baptism_n at_o their_o hand_n unless_o it_o can_v be_v show_v by_o you_o m._n some_o that_o either_o there_o may_v be_v faith_n where_o there_o be_v no_o promise_n or_o that_o

therefore_o again_o i_o appeal_v to_o the_o word_n see_v therefore_o in_o popery_n there_o be_v no_o church_n no_o ministry_n no_o christ_n see_v we_o ought_v in_o no_o case_n to_o be_v join_v with_o
