A51154	An apology for the clergy of Scotland chiefly oppos'd to the censures, calumnies, and accusations of a late Presbyterian vindicator, in a letter to a friend : wherein his vanity, partiality and sophistry are modestly reproved, and the legal establishment of episcopacy in that kingdom, from the beginning of the Reformation, is made evident from history and the records of Parliament : together with a postscript, relating to a scandalous pamphlet intituled, An answer to The Scotch Presbyterian eloquence.	Monro, Alexander, d. 1715?	1693 (1693)	Wing M2437; ESTC R20155	87,009	107

gather_v true_a material_n again_o the_o vindicator_n tell_v we_o that_o they_o do_v not_o think_v k._n william_n a_o idolater_n though_o he_o communicate_v with_o 115._o the_o church_n of_o england_n yet_o when_o some_o of_o his_o party_n mount_v the_o desk_n and_o declaim_v their_o maccaronicks_n they_o positive_o conclude_v that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v idolatrous_a again_o he_o do_v not_o allow_v that_o the_o clergy_n who_o address_v the_o commission_n of_o the_o general_n assembly_n have_v any_o measure_n of_o wit_n yet_o their_o contrivance_n be_v found_v on_o deep_a consult_v but_o let_v i_o tell_v the_o vindicator_n that_o no_o man_n or_o society_n of_o man_n have_v the_o monopoly_n of_o prudence_n the_o most_o cautious_a step_n may_v be_v sometime_o frustrate_v and_o the_o wise_a man_n may_v sometime_o wide_o mistake_v their_o measure_n and_o the_o heart_n of_o all_o man_n as_o well_o as_o the_o heart_n of_o king_n and_o prince_n be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n and_o their_o motion_n direct_v by_o his_o providence_n and_o after_o all_o let_v i_o tell_v the_o vindicator_n once_o more_o that_o that_o little_a contrivance_n and_o formula_fw-la of_o a_o address_n blow_v up_o their_o pretend_a assembly_n and_o let_v i_o tell_v he_o more_o yet_o though_o i_o pretend_v to_o no_o acquaintance_n in_o political_a thing_n that_o it_o be_v very_o probable_a that_o those_o very_a law_n by_o which_o the_o ringleader_n of_o presbytery_n think_v to_o secure_v their_o tyranny_n for_o ever_o will_v occasion_v its_o fall_n and_o ruin_n though_o they_o endeavour_v to_o support_v it_o by_o the_o pen_n and_o lung_n of_o all_o its_o associate_n i_o can_v name_v many_o other_o inconsistency_n i_o have_v no_o room_n for_o they_o every_o other_o line_n be_v stuff_v with_o such_o mean_a and_o scurrilous_a rail_n that_o it_o be_v nauseous_a to_o repeat_v they_o yet_o i_o can_v but_o take_v notice_n of_o his_o vanity_n he_o treat_v his_o adversary_n with_o scorn_n and_o contempt_n the_o author_n of_o the_o history_n of_o the_o general_n assembly_n he_o treat_v as_o a_o sciolist_n and_o as_o a_o momus_n and_o he_o be_v enrage_v that_o he_o shall_v presume_v 169._o to_o write_v that_o one_o of_o the_o presbyterian_a doctor_n can_v not_o speak_v latin_a such_o a_o affront_n be_v not_o to_o rule_n be_v endure_v by_o a_o man_n that_o have_v signalise_v himself_o so_o much_o in_o controversial_a feat_n and_o therefore_o i_o advise_v you_o when_o you_o meddle_v with_o the_o presbyterion_n to_o make_v your_o approach_n with_o all_o possible_a caution_n and_o reverence_n a_o presbyterian_a have_v rather_o be_v accuse_v of_o adultery_n sodomy_n or_o incest_n than_o to_o be_v think_v ignorant_a and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o the_o author_n of_o that_o history_n be_v lash_v with_o all_o the_o severity_n of_o satyr_n and_o the_o vindicator_n will_v have_v forgive_v he_o any_o thing_n rather_o than_o the_o least_o insinuation_n of_o be_v ignorant_a alas_o this_o be_v not_o to_o be_v be_v endure_v that_o one_o of_o their_o leader_n and_o who_o have_v make_v a_o remarkable_a figure_n shall_v be_v thus_o run_v down_o and_o expose_v to_o laughter_n for_o though_o the_o presbyterian_o look_v very_o demure_a and_o grave_a you_o mistake_v they_o if_o you_o think_v they_o stoic_n if_o you_o venture_v to_o say_v any_o thing_n that_o may_v rob_v they_o of_o that_o pleasant_a imagination_n of_o their_o own_o grandeur_n that_o lovely_a idea_n that_o they_o have_v of_o themselves_o and_o their_o extraordinary_a performance_n but_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o what_o occasion_v his_o heavy_a displeasure_n against_o the_o author_n of_o the_o history_n of_o the_o general_n assembly_n that_o author_n give_v one_o instance_n why_o he_o think_v mr._n gilbert_n rule_n do_v not_o understand_v thorough_o the_o thing_n that_o he_o write_v of_o because_o when_o he_o cites_n the_o epistle_n of_o st._n jerom_n to_o evagrius_n and_o from_o thence_o cites_n the_o sentence_n you_o see_v in_o the_o margin_n ordinatione_fw-la he_o must_v needs_o force_v the_o word_n ordinatio_fw-la in_o that_o epistle_n to_o signify_v the_o order_v of_o the_o meeting_n this_o exposition_n the_o author_n of_o that_o history_n such_o a_o infidel_n he_o be_v think_v a_o little_a paradoxical_a if_o not_o downright_a ignorance_n because_o no_o ecclesiastical_a writer_n in_o that_o or_o any_o former_a age_n understand_v any_o such_o thing_n by_o that_o word_n so_o place_v as_o it_o be_v in_o that_o epistle_n beside_o there_o be_v no_o mention_n of_o any_o meeting_n near_o that_o word_n that_o determine_v it_o to_o that_o signification_n and_o since_o this_o exposition_n be_v so_o very_o odd_a the_o author_n of_o that_o history_n do_v treat_v it_o and_o the_o inventor_n of_o it_o very_o familiar_o beside_o other_o do_v think_v that_o it_o this_o exposition_n be_v receive_v it_o will_v oblige_v we_o to_o understand_v st._n jerom_n in_o many_o place_n in_o a_o sense_n contrary_n to_o the_o opinion_n of_o all_o former_a age_n thus_o i_o find_v st._n jerom_n inform_v we_o that_o such_o and_o such_o a_o man_n be_v ordinatus_fw-la ab_fw-la apostolis_n episcopus_fw-la of_o ecclesiasticorum_fw-la such_o a_o place_n therefore_o the_o meaning_n must_v be_v that_o such_o a_o man_n be_v appoint_v to_o meet_v the_o apostle_n at_o such_o a_o place_n however_o the_o vindicator_n treat_v he_o as_o a_o sciolist_n a_o momus_n a_o poor_a sequacious_a animal_n that_o follow_v such_o as_o go_v before_o he_o but_o if_o he_o have_v be_v acquaint_v with_o the_o penetrate_a genius_n of_o mr._n rule_n and_o other_o he_o have_v no_o doubt_n understand_v the_o father_n better_a it_o be_v very_o difficult_a to_o guess_v what_o to_o impute_v this_o extravagant_a fancy_n to_o he_o think_v it_o dangerous_a to_o allow_v that_o ordinatio_fw-la do_v signify_v the_o imposition_n of_o hand_n at_o least_o he_o wish_v such_o a_o power_n may_v not_o be_v grant_v to_o a_o bishop_n and_o therefore_o he_o will_v have_v ordinatio_fw-la in_o that_o epistle_n of_o st._n jerom_n to_o evagrius_n to_o signify_v the_o order_n of_o something_o though_o that_o thing_n be_v not_o name_v in_o st._n jreom_o and_o if_o it_o signify_v the_o order_n of_o something_o as_o the_o vindicator_n profound_o reason_n why_o not_o the_o order_n of_o a_o meeting_n and_o if_o it_o be_v the_o order_n of_o a_o meeting_n why_o not_o the_o order_n of_o a_o ecclesiastical_a meeting_n yet_o all_o this_o time_n it_o be_v not_o determine_v whether_o this_o order_n of_o the_o meeting_n be_v a_o authoritative_a appoint_v of_o the_o time_n when_o they_o shall_v meet_v and_o what_o they_o shall_v treat_v of_o or_o only_o preside_v as_o moderator_n among_o they_o when_o the_o collective_a body_n themselves_o appoint_v the_o meeting_n because_o i_o say_v this_o be_v leave_v uncertain_a perhaps_o the_o vindicator_n will_v judge_v it_o most_o convenient_a to_o adhere_v to_o the_o last_o if_o he_o have_v say_v that_o ordinatio_fw-la signify_v the_o order_n of_o a_o dromedary_n it_o have_v be_v more_o to_o his_o purpose_n for_o certain_o the_o order_n of_o such_o a_o animal_n make_v not_o so_o great_a a_o distinction_n between_o a_o bishop_n and_o presbyter_n as_o the_o order_n of_o ecclesiastical_a meeting_n how_o contrary_a such_o a_o fancy_n be_v to_o the_o receive_a exposition_n of_o that_o word_n will_v best_o appear_v when_o we_o consider_v other_o place_n in_o the_o work_n of_o s._n jerom_n where_o the_o word_n ordinare_fw-la be_v make_v use_n of_o and_o let_v we_o suppose_v that_o the_o word_n must_v be_v interpret_v according_a to_o the_o new_a critic_n thus_o we_o find_v st._n jerom_n
