bishop_n that_o the_o church_n or_o his_o sheep_n be_v his_o correlatum_fw-la because_o his_o end_n and_o his_o work_n be_v their_o salvation_n so_o also_o must_v it_o need_v be_v in_o minister_n

as_o well_o as_o former_o they_o be_v for_o while_o the_o cause_n and_o reason_n remain_v the_o effect_n also_o must_v needs_o remain_v but_o conversion_n be_v a_o work_n common_a and_o necessary_a

appoint_v no_o officer_n to_o take_v care_n of_o the_o great_a and_o most_o principal_a work_n which_o be_v the_o conversion_n of_o sinner_n but_o this_o be_v high_o absurd_a that_o christ_n shall_v

be_v to_o prove_v that_o minister_n be_v officer_n and_o act_n as_o officer_n to_o other_o beside_o their_o own_o congregation_n the_o second_o thing_n propound_v be_v to_o answer_v their_o argument_n

for_o the_o better_a methodize_n of_o it_o i_o shall_v first_o with_o all_o brevity_n propound_v the_o assembly_n argument_n than_o our_o brethren_n answer_n and_o then_o add_v a_o reply_n and_o this_o i_o choose_v to_o do_v in_o this_o place_n although_o these_o thing_n be_v discuss_v by_o they_o under_o another_o head_n p._n 227_o etc._n etc._n because_o they_o proper_o concern_v this_o

the_o other_o point_n 1._o this_o opinion_n be_v unheard_a of_o in_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n before_o these_o late_a year_n provinc_fw-la ans._n it_o suffice_v that_o it_o be_v hear_v of_o in_o

be_v slight_v where_o there_o be_v a_o universal_a consent_n of_o all_o church_n as_o there_o be_v in_o this_o case_n which_o it_o be_v hard_o to_o show_v in_o any_o error_n nemo_fw-la pacificus_fw-la

yet_o give_v it_o to_o member_n of_o other_o congregation_n provinc_fw-la to_o this_o there_o be_v a_o double_a answer_n give_v by_o our_o brethren_n 1._o the_o main_a answer_n where_o they_o lie_v most_o stress_n which_o therefore_o i_o propose_v first_o be_v this_o that_o in_o ministerial_a act_n some_o thing_n be_v common_a to_o man_n as_o man_n as_o the_o word_n and_o prayer_n some_o be_v common_a to_o they_o as_o church_n member_n or_o as_o confederate_n with_o any_o particular_a church_n not_o consider_v this_o or_o another_o church_n as_o the_o sacrament_n other_o thing_n as_o special_a and_o proper_a to_o a_o particular_a church_n etc._n etc._n as_o excommunication_n election_n etc._n etc._n so_o that_o a_o man_n may_v claim_v the_o sacrament_n as_o a_o confederate_a with_o any_o church_n and_o as_o a_o father_n give_v instruction_n to_o his_o child_n and_o servant_n teach_v they_o as_o a_o father_n and_o master_n but_o if_o stranger_n come_v in_o and_o partake_v of_o the_o instruction_n he_o teach_v they_o not_o by_o virtue_n of_o any_o such_o relation_n so_o if_o a_o pastor_n preach_v and_o give_v the_o sacrament_n occasional_o he_o act_v not_o as_o a_o pastor_n and_o officer_n to_o they_o this_o be_v the_o strength_n of_o what_o our_o brethren_n say_v p._n 278_o 279_o 280._o reply_v 1_o if_o our_o brethren_n perceive_v not_o how_o they_o have_v overshoot_v themselves_o i_o question_v not_o but_o any_o judicious_a reader_n will_v quick_o discern_v it_o how_o they_o be_v fall_v from_o their_o own_o principle_n indeed_o the_o answer_n be_v tolerable_a if_o preach_v and_o give_v the_o sacrament_n be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n and_o quality_n and_o do_v proceed_v pari_fw-la passu_fw-la but_o see_v it_o be_v general_o grant_v by_o our_o congregational_a brethren_n that_o preach_v be_v not_o always_o a_o act_n of_o office_n and_o that_o it_o be_v a_o act_n which_o may_v be_v do_v by_o gift_a man_n and_o that_o the_o administration_n of_o the_o sacrament_n be_v always_o a_o act_n of_o office_n and_o can_v be_v do_v but_o by_o one_o in_o office_n it_o be_v most_o incongruous_o do_v to_o jumble_v these_o two_o together_o and_o to_o make_v they_o alike_o in_o this_o very_a case_n where_o they_o acknowledge_v the_o difference_n 2._o to_o the_o sacrament_n two_o thing_n be_v require_v which_o be_v wary_o to_o be_v distinguish_v 1._o a_o right_a in_o the_o receiver_n to_o claim_v and_o that_o indeed_o we_o have_v in_o the_o suppose_a case_n according_a to_o our_o brethren_n principle_n 2._o a_o power_n in_o the_o giver_n to_o administer_v and_o this_o none_o have_v but_o a_o officer_n and_o none_o can_v do_v it_o but_o as_o a_o officer_n and_o therefore_o no_o man_n can_v give_v it_o to_o any_o but_o to_o they_o to_o who_o he_o be_v a_o officer_n and_o act_n as_o a_o officer_n and_o therefore_o they_o can_v give_v it_o to_o any_o member_n of_o other_o congregation_n and_o this_o acute_a mr._n hooker_n be_v so_o sensible_a of_o that_o he_o grant_v it_o in_o terminis_fw-la use_v these_o word_n touch_v the_o partake_n of_o the_o sacrament_n by_o some_o of_o one_o congregation_n in_o another_o it_o have_v be_v a_o course_n which_o i_o have_v ever_o question_v and_o against_o it_o i_o have_v allege_v many_o argument_n profess_v the_o course_n unwarrantable_a for_o this_o reason_n among_o other_o because_o the_o administration_n of_o the_o sacrament_n be_v a_o ministerial_a act_n and_o can_v be_v do_v but_o by_o a_o pastor_n or_o teacher_n and_o what_o authority_n have_v he_o to_o do_v it_o and_o they_o to_o receive_v it_o from_o he_o to_o who_o he_o be_v no_o pastor_n as_o he_o be_v cite_v by_o cawdry_n inconsistency_n of_o indep_n way_n p._n 203._o nor_o do_v i_o see_v how_o this_o can_v be_v fair_o avoid_v by_o any_o that_o stick_v to_o congregational_a principle_n and_o i_o think_v such_o a_o strange_a paradox_n as_o this_o assert_v by_o so_o considerable_a a_o person_n and_o flow_v from_o such_o principle_n may_v just_o render_v they_o suspect_v to_o all_o impartial_a judge_n and_o whereas_o our_o brethren_n here_o imply_v the_o contrary_a and_o talk_v of_o a_o pastor_n give_v the_o sacrament_n to_o stranger_n not_o as_o a_o pastor_n 1._o let_v all_o man_n take_v notice_n that_o in_o this_o they_o have_v

will_v follow_v in_o that_o case_n will_v be_v this_o that_o this_o place_n must_v be_v lay_v aside_o both_o by_o our_o brethren_n and_o by_o we_o as_o not_o demonstrative_a to_o the_o point_n in_o hand_n this_o be_v premise_v i_o come_v to_o our_o argument_n which_o be_v take_v from_o 1_o cor._n 12._o eph._n 4._o where_o the_o prophet_n be_v enumerate_v among_o officer_n and_o which_o be_v most_o considerable_a place_v before_o the_o evangelist_n i_o know_v our_o brethren_n think_v to_o blow_v away_o this_o with_o a_o breath_n they_o say_v nothing_o can_v be_v gather_v from_o the_o order_n of_o the_o word_n see_v ofttimes_o the_o worse_a be_v place_v before_o the_o better_a as_o priscilla_n before_o aquila_n the_o woman_n before_o the_o man_n p._n 93._o and_o thus_o far_o it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o bare_a order_n be_v no_o sufficient_a argument_n to_o prove_v a_o priority_n in_o dignity_n and_o that_o the_o same_o thing_n be_v sometime_o in_o scripture_n place_v first_o sometime_o last_o so_o that_o in_o all_o case_n the_o order_n be_v not_o to_o be_v regard_v and_o yet_o in_o some_o case_n it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v slight_v especial_o when_o it_o be_v punctual_o observe_v that_o wherever_o prophet_n in_o concrete_a be_v mention_v they_o be_v place_v next_o after_o the_o apostle_n and_o that_o this_o be_v do_v so_o solemn_o and_o with_o such_o emphatical_a

of_o these_o officer_n because_o general_o they_o be_v place_v first_o and_o that_o the_o pastor_n and_o teacher_n be_v the_o low_a of_o they_o because_o general_o they_o be_v place_v last_o so_o also_o it_o be_v considerable_a and_o i_o doubt_v not_o our_o brethren_n will_v make_v good_a use_n of_o it_o be_v it_o for_o their_o cause_n as_o much_o as_o it_o be_v against_o it_o that_o prophet_n

to_o the_o church_n he_o preach_v as_o a_o ambassador_n to_o one_o as_o well_o as_o to_o the_o other_o and_o see_v that_o paul_n or_o any_o other_o minister_n preach_v to_o heathen_n or_o such_o as_o

to_o which_o may_v be_v add_v that_o the_o authority_n here_o speak_v of_o be_v not_o a_o economical_a but_o a_o political_a a_o ecclesiastical_a authority_n not_o a_o authority_n in_o the_o family_n

it_o follow_v that_o the_o french_a law_n when_o they_o prohibit_v woman_n from_o usurp_a authority_n or_o wield_v the_o sceptre_n do_v allow_v it_o to_o all_o man_n or_o than_o it_o will_v follow_v

for_o ordination_n which_o also_o be_v necessary_a as_o have_v be_v argue_v may_v not_o so_o much_o as_o preach_v once_o and_o their_o preach_v tho_o spare_o be_v as_o clear_o though_o not_o so_o gross_o contrary_a to_o this_o prohibition_n as_o to_o preach_v constant_o 2._o that_o it_o be_v the_o work_n and_o not_o the_o manner_n of_o work_v which_o be_v here_o forbid_a the_o very_a work_n of_o public_a preach_n be_v here_o forbid_v they_o this_o i_o say_v to_o prevent_v a_o common_a evasion_n of_o our_o brethren_n that_o gift_a man_n may_v not_o and_o can_v preach_v in_o the_o same_o

the_o case_n of_o woman_n and_o say_v that_o they_o may_v do_v the_o work_n although_o they_o can_v do_v it_o in_o the_o same_o manner_n i._n e._n with_o authority_n if_o i_o shall_v say_v so_o it_o
