A85121	A plain-dealing, and plain-meaning sermon, preach't in the parish church of St. Nicholas, Bristol, April. 6. 1660. Being the day appointed by the Parliament for publique fasting and humiliation for the sins of the nation, &c. Together with a prefatory epistle, and subsequent vindication both of the sermon, and author. Wherein (besides an apology for home and plain-preaching) you have something offered to allay the heat of thier stomacks, and to temper the tongues of those, who (being ignorant in scripture) reproach and revile Presbytery and Presbyters. With some hints at Satans subtlety, and the mischief of those people, who brand zeal for God and truth (in free, home, and faithfull preaching) with the reproachful names of anger, passion, and railing.	Farmer, Ralph.	1660 (1660)	Wing F443; Thomason E1025_5; ESTC R208684	39,155	50

with_o the_o word_n presbyterian_a by_o way_n of_o reproach_n as_o a_o nickname_n and_o to_o inveigh_v against_o presbytery_n but_o sir_n do_v you_o understand_v what_o you_o do_v it_o be_v true_a the_o bishop_n have_v a_o long_a time_n keep_v the_o name_n and_o thing_n in_o a_o kind_n of_o silence_n under_o hatch_n but_o will_v you_o without_o passion_n and_o partiality_n and_o as_o in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n for_o so_o i_o desire_v to_o deal_v with_o you_o be_v inform_v in_o the_o truth_n then_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o this_o one_o thing_n the_o scripture_n speak_v more_o of_o and_o for_o presbyter_n than_o bishop_n not_o that_o i_o bring_v this_o as_o a_o argument_n to_o prove_v presbytery_n to_o be_v more_o sacred_a than_o episcopacy_n for_o i_o think_v they_o both_o so_o alike_o and_o i_o intend_v not_o to_o handle_v that_o controversy_n my_o design_n be_v to_o let_v you_o know_v if_o the_o scripture_n may_v rule_v you_o you_o may_v as_o well_o speak_v scornful_o of_o bishop_n as_o presbyter_n and_o of_o episcopacy_n as_o of_o presbytery_n for_o i_o tell_v you_o again_o the_o scripture_n make_v often_o mention_v of_o presbyter_n than_o bishop_n now_o for_o your_o information_n and_o to_o clear_v this_o to_o you_o you_o must_v know_v that_o the_o word_n presbyter_n though_o we_o by_o use_n make_v it_o english_a be_v a_o greek_a word_n which_o we_o in_o our_o english_a bibles_n have_v always_o translate_v by_o the_o word_n elder_a it_o come_v from_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d senex_n one_o that_o be_v old_a and_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d be_v senior_n one_o that_o be_v elder_a and_o this_o word_n be_v use_v in_o scripture_n sometime_o in_o a_o natural_a sense_n to_o signify_v one_o elder_a in_o age_n and_o sometime_o in_o a_o ecclesiastical_a sense_n for_o a_o officer_n in_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n now_o it_o be_v my_o purpose_n to_o have_v examine_v all_o the_o place_n in_o the_o greek_a testament_n where_o the_o word_n presbyter_n be_v use_v and_o to_o have_v observe_v how_o many_o time_n it_o be_v use_v in_o a_o ecclesiastical_a sense_n signify_v a_o church-officer_n but_o the_o day_n before_o the_o write_n hereof_o there_o come_v very_o happy_o to_o my_o hand_n a_o book_n late_o publish_v by_o one_o who_o other_o work_n praise_v he_o in_o the_o gate_n and_o this_o not_o a_o little_a scil_n mr._n george_n lawson_n politica_fw-la sacra_fw-la which_o save_v i_o some_o labour_n which_o i_o be_o willing_a to_o embrace_v at_o this_o time_n for_o hast-sake_n especial_o from_o such_o a_o author_n and_o he_o tell_v i_o page_n 139._o of_o that_o book_n that_o he_o find_v the_o word_n presbyter_n in_o a_o ecclesiastical_a sense_n and_o notion_n about_o sixteen_o time_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o now_o as_o for_o the_o word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d which_o be_v sometime_o translate_v a_o overseer_n as_o act_n 20.28_o and_o sometime_o a_o bishop_n i_o can_v quick_o number_v they_o for_o it_o be_v but_o five_o time_n use_v and_o one_o of_o they_o be_v speak_v not_o of_o a_o ordinary_a church-officer_n but_o of_o our_o lord_n christ_n jesus_n 1_o pet._n 2.25_o so_o that_o i_o say_v the_o scripture_n make_v more_o use_n and_o more_o often_o mention_v of_o the_o word_n presbyter_n than_o bishop_n and_o therefore_o not_o so_o to_o be_v slight_v and_o reproach_v or_o to_o be_v use_v as_o a_o term_n of_o disgrace_n to_o any_o man_n unless_o you_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o disgrace_v the_o scripture_n which_o thus_o honour_v presbyter_n and_o presbyterian_o above_o bishoips_n yea_o but_o bishop_n be_v above_o they_o how_o know_v you_o that_o they_o be_v so_o and_o so_o have_v a_o long_a time_n that_o be_v true_a but_o do_v the_o scripture_n put_v they_o there_o good_a sir_n let_v no_o man_n be_v angry_a with_o i_o if_o i_o express_v my_o mind_n free_o i_o mean_v not_o to_o make_v a_o quarrel_n of_o it_o nor_o contend_v with_o any_o man_n about_o it_o for_o i_o have_v better_o work_v to_o do_v than_o nodum_fw-la in_o scirpo_fw-la quaerere_fw-la but_o where_o do_v the_o scripture_n put_v a_o bishop_n above_o a_o presbyter_n let_v any_o man_n in_o the_o world_n show_v i_o the_o place_n shall_v i_o ask_v
