it_o be_v express_v thus_o the_o office_n of_o the_o ministry_n be_v of_o such_o great_a importance_n that_o it_o will_v take_v up_o the_o whole_a man_n which_o i_o full_o grant_v and_o i_o well_o

i_o at_o first_o to_o act_v in_o some_o civil_a capacity_n will_v afterwards_o appear_v i_o do_v observe_v that_o the_o act_n style_v the_o ministry_n a_o office_n and_o i_o pray_v that_o always_o in_o england_n and_o in_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n it_o may_v be_v own_v so_o this_o office_n be_v of_o such_o great_a importance_n that_o it_o will_v take_v up_o the_o whole_a man_n but_o this_o

that_o soul_n may_v not_o be_v neglect_v that_o minister_n may_v not_o be_v take_v off_o from_o that_o great_a important_a duty_n of_o watch_v over_o those_o soul_n commit_v to_o their_o charge_n a_o three_o ground_n of_o the_o act_n be_v for_o that_o it_o be_v find_v by_o long_a experience_n that_o their_o intermeddle_n with_o secular_a jurisdiction_n have_v occasion_v great_a mischief_n both_o to_o church_n and_o state_n it_o be_v not_o my_o work_n to_o rip_v up_o the_o mischief_n that_o episcopal_a man_n do_v to_o church_n and_o state_n by_o meddle_v with_o secular_a jurisdiction_n i_o

will_v have_v suffer_v their_o double_a power_n to_o this_o day_n what_o prejudice_n either_o to_o church_n or_o state_n have_v my_o intermeddle_n with_o secular_a jurisdiction_n bring_v forth_o if_o

be_o i_o guilty_a and_o if_o i_o have_v be_v in_o any_o secular_a employment_n prejudicial_a to_o church_n or_o state_n i_o make_v no_o question_n but_o it_o will_v have_v be_v insert_v in_o the_o

speak_v have_v great_a influence_n upon_o i_o to_o command_v my_o outward_a man_n and_o to_o lead_v though_o not_o altogether_o compel_v my_o judgement_n yet_o upon_o this_o occasion_n if_o i_o think_v this_o honourable_a parliament_n will_v indulge_v a_o unworthy_a member_n so_o far_o i_o will_v offer_v to_o consideration_n that_o instance_n of_o aaron_n exo._n 24.14_o where_o moses_n go_v up_o into_o the_o mount_n to_o remain_v forty_o day_n he_o say_v unto_o the_o elder_n tarry_v you_o here_o for_o we_o until_o we_o come_v again_o unto_o you_o and_o behold_v aaron_n and_o hur_z be_v with_o you_o if_o any_o man_n have_v any_o matter_n to_o do_v let_v he_o come_v unto_o they_o whether_o aaron_n as_o well_o as_o hur_z be_v not_o here_o delegate_a to_o take_v cognizance_n of_o civil_a cause_n i_o leave_v it_o sub_fw-la judice_fw-la and_o whether_o aaron_n at_o least_o as_o a_o depute_a magistrate_n exod._n 32._o be_v not_o concern_v to_o have_v hinder_v the_o golden_a calf_n i_o will_v not_o determine_v and_o when_o moses_n make_v use_v of_o the_o levite_n only_o to_o put_v three_o thousand_o to_o the_o sword_n who_o have_v have_v a_o hand_n in_o that_o idolatry_n the_o question_n be_v whether_o this_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o a_o ecclesiastical_a or_o a_o civil_a censure_n we_o read_v of_o samuel_n 1_o sam._n 3.20_o that_o he_o be_v establish_v to_o be_v a_o prophet_n of_o the_o lord_n yet_o in_o chap._n 7.15_o we_o find_v that_o he_o judge_v israel_n all_o the_o day_n of_o his_o life_n and_o v._n 16._o he_o go_v from_o year_n to_o year_n in_o circuit_n to_o bethel_n and_o gilgal_n and_o mizpah_n and_o judge_v israel_n in_o all_o those_o place_n if_o it_o be_v object_v that_o there_o be_v no_o instance_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n it_o may_v be_v answer_v that_o magistracy_n itself_o be_v not_o then_o in_o christian_a hand_n but_o suppose_v there_o have_v be_v civil_a power_n in_o such_o hand_n in_o paul_n and_o timothys_n time_n and_o there_o have_v be_v a_o council_n or_o parliament_n hold_v where_o church_n as_o well_o as_o state_n affair_n have_v be_v to_o be_v transact_v the_o question_n will_v be_v whether_o in_o case_n that_o paul_n and_o timothy_n have_v be_v choose_v whether_o the_o one_o or_o other_o ought_v not_o to_o have_v attend_v the_o trust_n repose_v or_o whether_o christian_a member_n will_v have_v reject_v they_o three_o if_o it_o be_v grant_v that_o i_o be_o within_o the_o letter_n of_o this_o act_n yea_o in_o some_o sort_n within_o the_o ground_n and_o meaning_n of_o it_o yet_o i_o have_v something_o further_o and_o that_o with_o such_o advantage_n to_o offer_v that_o i_o think_v i_o need_v not_o fear_v to_o plead_v my_o case_n against_o the_o petitioner_n before_o this_o honourable_a assembly_n or_o in_o any_o presence_n in_o this_o world_n and_o here_o first_o i_o shall_v refer_v myself_o unto_o the_o instrument_n which_o be_v style_v the_o government_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n of_o england_n which_o goveroment_n in_o the_o 14_o and_o 15_o article_n lay_v down_o the_o rule_n who_o shall_v not_o be_v capable_a of_o be_v elect_v and_o make_v no_o exception_n of_o any_o in_o holy_a order_n that_o i_o come_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o the_o 17_o article_n i_o shall_v easy_o put_v the_o business_n to_o that_o issue_n and_o in_o the_o th_o article_n i_o find_v these_o very_a word_n that_o every_o person_n and_o person_n be_v so_o due_o elect_v and_o be_v approve_v of_o by_o the_o major_a part_n of_o the_o council_n to_o be_v person_n not_o disable_v but_o qualify_v as_o aforesaid_a shall_v be_v esteem_v a_o member_n of_o parliament_n and_o be_v admit_v to_o sit_v in_o parliament_n and_o not_o otherwise_o and_o according_o i_o do_v pass_v with_o the_o approbation_n of_o the_o council_n as_o the_o government_n make_v no_o exception_n as_o to_o any_o in_o order_n so_o it_o make_v provision_n for_o some_o to_o be_v capable_a of_o be_v elect_v to_o serve_v in_o this_o parliament_n notwithstanding_o they_o have_v aid_v advise_v assist_v or_o abet_v in_o any_o war_n against_o the_o parliament_n since_o jan._n 1._o 1641._o in_o case_n they_o have_v be_v since_o
