be_v fall_v away_o do_v complain_v of_o it_o and_o do_v make_v the_o cause_n of_o their_o fall_v away_o not_o because_o they_o be_v not_o perpetual_a nor_o yet_o because_o they_o may_v not_o continue_v but_o the_o negligence_n and_o pride_n of_o the_o teacher_n now_o that_o we_o have_v prove_v that_o he_o require_v of_o the_o perpetuity_n of_o these_o office_n let_v we_o come_v to_o his_o reason_n why_o he_o deni_v they_o to_o be_v perpetual_a which_o be_v because_o we_o can_v not_o first_o prove_v the_o elder_n to_o have_v such_o gift_n of_o prophesy_v do_v miracle_n etc._n etc._n but_o we_o bid_v he_o prove_v first_o this_o strange_a and_o monstrouse_a assertion_n that_o it_o be_v necessary_a for_o we_o to_o prove_v it_o second_o we_o will_v show_v he_o the_o vanity_n and_o detestable_a absurdity_n which_o follow_v this_o his_o demand_n the_o vanity_n may_v appear_v by_o these_o reason_n out_o of_o the_o text_n the_o governor_n and_o the_o gift_n of_o government_n be_v as_o much_o distinguish_v from_o prophet_n &_o doer_n of_o miracle_n as_o they_o be_v from_o teacher_n therefore_o to_o require_v such_o necessary_a for_o government_n more_o than_o doctrine_n be_v to_o overthrow_v the_o purpose_n of_o the_o apostle_n which_o be_v to_o show_v how_o every_o office_n have_v his_o several_a &_o proper_a gift_n second_o if_o the_o use_n of_o such_o gift_n as_o he_o speak_v of_o be_v no_o part_n of_o government_n what_o necessity_n be_v there_o of_o they_o in_o elder_n as_o they_o be_v elder_n three_o we_o demand_v of_o he_o whether_o he_o require_v these_o gift_n in_o all_o elder_n or_o in_o some_o &_o in_o who_o he_o do_v require_v they_o whether_o he_o will_v have_v all_o those_o gift_n to_o be_v in_o they_o or_o some_o only_o if_o he_o require_v they_o in_o all_o he_o must_v prove_v first_o that_o they_o be_v in_o all_o the_o elder_n in_o the_o apostle_n time_n which_o he_o shall_v do_v ad_fw-la graecas_fw-la kalendas_fw-la that_o be_v never_o if_o he_o require_v all_o those_o gift_n in_o any_o let_v he_o prove_v that_o any_o elder_n be_v furnish_v with_o they_o all_o which_o he_o shall_v never_o do_v if_o some_o only_a let_v he_o show_v which_o be_v necessary_a and_o which_o not_o and_o let_v he_o out_o of_o the_o scripture_n prove_v his_o say_n and_o we_o will_v yield_v thus_o we_o have_v see_v the_o vanity_n of_o the_o demand_n mark_v the_o absurdity_n follow_v first_o that_o they_o make_v themselves_o wise_a than_o the_o apostle_n who_o require_v no_o more_o in_o the_o duty_n of_o a_o elder_a then_o to_o be_v over_o the_o flock_n with_o diligence_n rom._n 12.5.6_o second_o they_o require_v more_o in_o the_o elder_n they_o the_o apostle_n require_v in_o a_o teach_n elder_a or_o a_o bishop_n when_o he_o give_v the_o rule_n of_o his_o examination_n 1._o tim._n 3._o three_o they_o may_v by_o the_o same_o rule_n throw_v out_o teacher_n see_v in_o this_o place_n the_o apostle_n give_v such_o gift_n no_o more_o to_o the_o elder_n then_o to_o the_o teacher_n especial_o this_o consequence_n be_v necessary_a because_o the_o principal_a end_n of_o those_o gift_n be_v either_o to_o deliver_v doctrine_n or_o give_v credit_n to_o it_o be_v more_o necessary_a for_o the_o teacher_n than_o the_o gowernor_n fourtly_n see_v they_o understande_v by_o elder_n those_o who_o preach_v and_o will_v have_v none_o govern_v only_o it_o remain_v that_o by_o his_o reason_n we_o must_v first_o prove_v those_o gift_n to_o remain_v in_o they_o 5._o ere_o we_o can_v prove_v such_o to_o remain_v 14.26.34_o last_o seeinge_v these_o gift_n be_v common_a to_o private_a person_n yea_o to_o woman_n even_o to_o all_o sort_n of_o believer_n we_o must_v first_o prove_v by_o their_o reason_n these_o gift_n to_o remain_v ere_o we_o can_v prove_v there_o be_v any_o church_n or_o faithful_a man_n in_o the_o world_n these_o be_v the_o detestable_a absurdity_n which_o follow_v upon_o this_o reason_n of_o they_o whereby_o the_o answer_n to_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o apostle_n set_v down_o there_o both_o office_n as_o apostle_n teacher_n prophet_n elder_n deacon_n and_o also_o some_o gift_n which_o be_v common_a to_o all_o as_o ornament_n to_o confirm_v for_o a_o time_n christian_a religion_n now_o although_o these_o gift_n be_v long_o since_o cease_v yet_o the_o office_n may_v remain_v without_o they_o especial_o the_o office_n of_o teach_v exhort_v govern_v which_o be_v for_o their_o use_n &_o the_o gift_n require_v in_o they_o perpetual_a every_o part_n of_o which_o answer_n have_v be_v before_o confirm_v in_o the_o particular_n hitherto_o he_o have_v labour_v against_o the_o truth_n to_o overthrow_v it_o now_o fear_v that_o all_o the_o instrument_n he_o have_v will_v not_o throttle_v the_o cause_n so_o as_o she_o shall_v no_o more_o open_a her_o mouth_n he_o seek_v to_o disguise_v she_o with_o a_o slander_n where_o we_o will_v first_o see_v what_o he_o bring_v then_o we_o will_v maintain_v the_o contrary_n the_o sum_n of_o that_o he_o object_v be_v they_o which_o stand_v for_o discipline_n be_v think_v to_o bring_v in_o contention_n and_o to_o undermine_v the_o power_n of_o the_o magistrate_n in_o this_o accusation_n first_o you_o must_v well_o observe_v he_o do_v not_o nor_o dare_v not_o say_v it_o be_v so_o but_o that_o it_o be_v think_v so_o to_o which_o it_o may_v be_v answer_v that_o it_o be_v think_v that_o the_o other_o side_n seek_v to_o drive_v out_o the_o sufficient_a ministry_n that_o they_o alone_o may_v reign_v pille_v the_o people_n of_o her_o majesty_n abuse_v they_o &_o grind_v they_o without_o have_v any_o of_o their_o filthiness_n discover_v it_o be_v think_v of_o some_o also_o that_o they_o make_v a_o way_n to_o atheism_n popery_n and_o all_o confusion_n while_o they_o thrust_v our_o so_o many_o worthy_a and_o painful_a laborer_n out_o of_o the_o l._n vineyard_n and_o bring_v in_o ignorant_a ungodly_a riotouse_n idle_a and_o covetous_a person_n in_o their_o steed_n nay_o some_o of_o these_o be_v not_o only_o think_v but_o manifest_o by_o experience_n in_o many_o place_n feel_v second_o you_o may_v observe_v how_o the_o light_n of_o his_o conscience_n strive_v with_o his_o affection_n against_o the_o cause_n his_o affection_n and_o desire_n be_v to_o disgrace_v the_o cause_n itself_o as_o prejudicial_a to_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n and_o civil_a magistrate_n now_o when_o in_o his_o conscience_n he_o find_v he_o can_v deduct_v no_o such_o thing_n out_o of_o the_o matter_n of_o discipline_n he_o

by_o what_o sign_n and_o token_n by_o what_o counsel_n writing_n example_n or_o deed_n they_o have_v give_v likelihood_n of_o it_o if_o he_o can_v neither_o conclude_v any_o such_o matter_n out_o of_o

he_o speak_v of_o to_o my_o knowledge_n i_o have_v not_o see_v neither_o know_v where_o to_o have_v it_o yet_o i_o assure_v myself_o he_o can_v bring_v forth_o no_o such_o conclusion_n from_o any_o which_o have_v speak_v or_o write_v for_o discipline_n but_o be_v it_o that_o some_o one_o man_n have_v write_v without_o ground_n or_o reason_n contrary_a to_o the_o scripture_n shall_v that_o or_o any_o man_n abuse_n blot_v out_o the_o credit_n which_o so_o many_o church_n in_o france_n scotlande_n germany_n the_o low_a country_n have_v bring_v to_o it_o as_o find_v it_o holy_a peaceable_a and_o no_o small_a pillar_n both_o of_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n and_o civil_a government_n when_o we_o consider_v what_o inconvenience_n follow_v any_o matter_n we_o must_v not_o consider_v what_o some_o which_o hold_v the_o cause_n will_v have_v but_o what_o the_o cause_n of_o his_o own_o nature_n will_v infer_v for_o as_o the_o good_a meaning_n of_o a_o good_a man_n will_v not_o make_v a_o perilouss_n cause_n safe_a so_o the_o ill_a meaning_n of_o a_o naughty_a man_n will_v not_o make_v a_o safe_a and_o just_a cause_n dangerous_a i_o marvel_v what_o cause_n may_v be_v find_v out_o to_o make_v discipline_n hurtful_a to_o the_o common_a wealth_n or_o what_o reason_n why_o the_o magistrate_n authority_n and_o it_o 15._o shall_v not_o dwell_v peaceable_o together_o the_o king_n and_o ruler_n of_o israel_n find_v it_o not_o so_o the_o roman_n after_o they_o find_v it_o not_o so_o they_o be_v heathen_a more_o curious_a to_o look_v into_o such_o matter_n than_o any_o more_o

out_o any_o such_o suspicion_n in_o all_o their_o time_n it_o be_v quiet_o practise_v the_o king_n and_o prince_n both_o protestant_n which_o have_v allow_v it_o and_o popish_a as_o in_o france_n which_o have_v permit_v it_o they_o have_v find_v no_o such_o thing_n in_o it_o for_o the_o second_o point_n by_o what_o reason_n shall_v the_o magistrate_n authority_n be_v at_o such_o enmity_n with_o discipline_n or_o discipline_n with_o it_o be_v it_o because_o the_o magistrate_n will_v or_o can_v do_v that_o which_o the_o elder_n do_v or_o the_o elder_n will_v or_o can_v do_v that_o which_o he_o do_v will_v the_o magistrate_n watch_v over_o particular_a flock_n admonish_v every_o sinner_n they_o find_v out_o follow_v man_n by_o spiritual_a mean_n till_o they_o bring_v they_o to_o

this_o burden_n do_v the_o elder_n meddle_v with_o any_o civil_a cause_n or_o use_v any_o oher_z mean_n than_o which_o be_v spiritual_a shall_v they_o do_v thing_n so_o close_o that_o all_o their_o

the_o law_n now_o meddle_v little_a with_o by_o this_o mean_n be_v cu●t_v off_o in_o deed_n than_o man_n purse_n shall_v not_o be_v pick_v as_o they_o be_v now_o then_o so_o many_o velvet_n coat_n
