A36464	Archiepiscopal priority instituted by Christ, proved by plaine testimonies of Scripture. Asserted by the ancient fathers. And whereunto all the moderne divines of the Protestant side doe fully assent, without contradiction of any one man. / By Samuel Daniel Master of Arts.

apostle_n of_o the_o circumcision_n and_o have_v a_o priority_n of_o order_n among_o the_o governor_n of_o the_o church_n of_o the_o jew_n which_o the_o scripture_n give_v he_o in_o plain_a language_n let_v we_o remember_v that_o they_o that_o add_v to_o and_o they_o that_o take_v from_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v both_o subject_n to_o the_o same_o curse_n and_o that_o they_o that_o call_v evil_a good_a and_o good_a evil_n be_v in_o the_o same_o case_n for_o my_o own_o part_n i_o dare_v not_o but_o speak_v the_o truth_n as_o i_o find_v it_o deliver_v in_o the_o scripture_n it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o all_o god_n messenger_n to_o reveal_v the_o whole_a counsel_n of_o god_n and_o to_o keep_v back_o nothing_o the_o knowledge_n whereof_o be_v necessary_a for_o the_o promove_n of_o god_n glory_n and_o the_o advancement_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o his_o dear_a son_n and_o this_o point_n which_o i_o maintain_v concerning_o the_o superiority_n of_o church_n governor_n concern_v the_o external_a government_n of_o his_o kingdom_n i_o be_o sure_a and_o it_o be_v so_o clear_a and_o evident_a in_o scripture_n that_o none_o that_o have_v understanding_n and_o can_v read_v the_o scripture_n but_o may_v conceive_v it_o and_o my_o opponent_n some_o of_o they_o make_v a_o church_n government_n a_o mark_n of_o the_o church_n and_o a_o part_n of_o the_o gospel_n it_o stand_v we_o then_o great_o in_o hand_n to_o make_v trial_n which_o be_v that_o government_n that_o christ_n have_v establish_v in_o his_o church_n and_o true_o the_o government_n which_o i_o defend_v be_v the_o only_a government_n which_o we_o find_v establish_v by_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n and_o which_o have_v be_v in_o use_n in_o the_o christian_a church_n in_o all_o age_n and_o generation_n since_o and_o that_o which_o some_o of_o my_o opponent_n defend_v we_o neither_o read_v of_o it_o in_o scripture_n not_o so_o much_o as_o a_o syllable_n nor_o that_o as_o it_o be_v the_o government_n establish_v of_o any_o particular_a church_n in_o the_o whole_a christian_a world_n till_o within_o these_o few_o year_n and_o true_o it_o make_v my_o hair_n to_o stand_v upon_o my_o head_n to_o

govern_v as_o thou_o have_v prescribe_v in_o thy_o word_n and_o thus_o much_o i_o have_v say_v for_o peter_n archiepiscopal_a priority_n now_o i_o will_v say_v somewhat_o for_o paul_n in_o the_o church_n of_o the_o gentile_n saint_n augustine_n say_v that_o peter_n be_v not_o the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n but_o a_o eye_n in_o the_o head_n and_o true_o if_o peter_n be_v the_o one_o eye_n i_o may_v say_v that_o paul_n be_v the_o other_o for_o although_o that_o peter_n be_v call_v among_o the_o first_o of_o the_o apostle_n by_o christ_n his_o master_n and_o paul_n after_o all_o yet_o the_o apostle_n paul_n mention_v his_o dignity_n and_o degree_n to_o be_v as_o high_a as_o peter_n he_o be_v not_o inferior_a he_o say_v to_o the_o chief_a apostle_n and_o if_o we_o look_v to_o the_o manner_n of_o their_o call_n paul_n calling_n be_v much_o more_o glorious_a than_o peter_n even_o when_o he_o be_v first_o call_v to_o be_v a_o preacher_n of_o the_o gospel_n peter_n be_v call_v when_o he_o be_v go_v about_o the_o work_n of_o his_o call_n paul_n when_o he_o be_v rage_v with_o all_o cruelty_n against_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n christ_n arrest_v he_o and_o make_v he_o stand_v

who_o as_o i_o have_v make_v manifest_a have_v a_o priority_n of_o order_n among_o the_o 12._o apostle_n and_o in_o the_o whole_a jewish_a church_n and_o do_v not_o in_o any_o case_n acknowledge_v himself_o inferior_a to_o he_o neither_o in_o order_n nor_o degree_n yea_o he_o tell_v we_o plain_o that_o the_o gospel_n of_o the_o uncircumcision_n be_v commit_v to_o he_o as_o the_o gospel_n of_o circumcision_n be_v commit_v to_o peter_n which_o testimony_n of_o the_o apostle_n paul_n evident_o declare_v that_o there_o be_v a_o special_a oversight_n commit_v unto_o peter_n in_o the_o church_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o unto_o paul_n in_o the_o church_n of_o the_o gentile_n for_o if_o it_o have_v not_o be_v so_o why_o will_v he_o compare_v with_o peter_n and_o not_o with_o the_o rest_n not_o he_o will_v have_v say_v without_o all_o doubt_n as_o the_o church_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v commit_v to_o peter_n james_n and_o john_n so_o the_o church_n of_o the_o gentile_n be_v commit_v to_o he_o

mind_v my_o chief_a purpose_n in_o this_o discourse_n be_v to_o prove_v that_o as_o christ_n do_v ordain_v certain_a man_n to_o be_v chief_a governor_n of_o his_o church_n so_o have_v he_o o●dained_v among_o these_o governor_n a_o priority_n of_o order_n and_o a_o primacy_n of_o moderation_n but_o let_v no_o man_n mistake_v and_o think_v that_o this_o assertion_n do_v favour_n in_o any_o way_n

in_o all_o company_n and_o incorporation_n in_o all_o meeting_n and_o assembly_n whatsoever_o and_o christ_n with_o his_o own_o mouth_n do_v appoint_v this_o priority_n of_o order_n among_o these_o
