christ_n and_o he_o shall_v reign_v in_o the_o house_n of_o jacob_n for_o ever_o and_o the_o apostle_n that_o he_o be_v as_o the_o son_n over_o his_o own_o house_n and_o this_o house_n we_o be_v

two_o fold_n one_o wherein_o he_o of_o himself_o and_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n without_o any_o help_n or_o service_n of_o man_n 1.23_o phil._n 2.13_o eph._n 1.23_o reign_v inward_o in_o the_o

aswell_o angel_n as_o man_n especial_o to_o the_o preservation_n of_o the_o church_n as_o of_o angel_n the_o apostle_n speak_v 1.14_o heb._n 1.14_o they_o be_v minister_a spirit_n send_v forth_o to_o

between_o the_o ministry_n of_o angel_n and_o of_o man_n by_o the_o way_n we_o acknowledge_v a_o difference_n between_o the_o ministry_n of_o angel_n and_o of_o man_n since_o the_o angel_n be_v not_o send_v either_o to_o teach_v in_o the_o church_n or_o to_o administer_v sacrament_n but_o to_o perform_v other_o duty_n &_o those_o for_o the_o most_o part_n invisible_a neither_o come_v they_o ordinary_o always_o and_o to_o all_o but_o at_o such_o time_n and_o to_o such_o person_n as_o god_n send_v they_o but_o the_o ministry_n of_o man_n be_v apparent_a and_o perpetual_a and_o pertain_v to_o every_o one_o iv_o it_o be_v most_o advise_o do_v that_o angel_n shall_v not_o teach_v in_o the_o church_n but_o man_n and_o we_o know_v it_o be_v most_o wise_o and_o advise_o do_v of_o god_n that_o christ_n shall_v teach_v in_o his_o church_n not_o by_o angel_n but_o by_o man_n both_o because_o we_o can_v not_o more_o willing_o suffer_v ourselves_o to_o be_v inform_v familiar_o of_o our_o equal_n then_o to_o be_v teach_v of_o spirit_n of_o a_o far_o differ_a nature_n with_o a_o unaquainted_a majesty_n and_o also_o because_o we_o may_v more_o easy_o be_v deceive_v of_o satan_n false_o feign_v himself_o to_o be_v send_v of_o god_n and_o transform_v himself_o to_o a_o angel_n of_o light_n and_o those_o sure_o in_o our_o judgement_n be_v two_o not_o the_o least_o cause_n why_o the_o son_n of_o god_n when_o he_o be_v to_o fulfil_v the_o office_n of_o a_o teacher_n in_o the_o church_n will_v be_v make_v a_o man_n and_o our_o brother_n and_o familiar_a and_o like_v unto_o we_o in_o all_o thing_n sin_v only_o except_v whereto_o that_o same_o tend_v 1.1_o heb._n 4.15_o heb._n 2.12_o heb._n 1.1_o i_o will_v declare_v thy_o name_n to_o my_o brethren_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o

the_o church_n v._o there_o be_v two_o kind_n of_o man_n especial_o who_o ministry_n christ_n use_v to_o the_o government_n and_o preservation_n of_o the_o church_n and_o although_o there_o be_v not_o one_o member_n in_o this_o whole_a great_a body_n of_o the_o church_n but_o christ_n use_v the_o same_o to_o some_o profit_n of_o the_o other_o member_n 12.7_o 1._o cor._n 12.7_o and_o so_o of_o the_o whole_a body_n as_o paul_n teach_v yet_o we_o acknowledge_v two_o principal_a kind_n of_o man_n who_o help_n and_o service_n he_o be_v wont_a to_o use_v for_o the_o government_n and_o preservation_n of_o the_o church_n namely_o first_o teacher_n and_o other_o to_o administer_v the_o word_n sacrament_n &_o other_o ecclesiastical_a duty_n then_o godly_a prince_n and_o magistrate_n who_o ministery_n or_o office_n we_o confound_v not_o but_o acknowledge_v they_o to_o be_v distinct_a and_o very_a diverse_a among_o which_o difference_n this_o also_o be_v not_o the_o least_o that_o the_o ministry_n of_o teacher_n be_v always_o very_o necessary_a to_o the_o church_n but_o of_o politic_a magistrate_n not_o so_o since_o the_o former_a the_o church_n can_v be_v without_o but_o the_o other_o it_o often_o have_v want_v and_o may_v want_v they_o vi_o about_o what_o matter_n especial_o the_o ecclesiastical_a ministry_n be_v employ_v but_o as_o the_o sum_n of_o christian_n piety_n consist_v in_o three_o thing_n in_o faith_n in_o christ_n in_o continual_a repentance_n that_o be_v in_o the_o mortification_n of_o our_o flesh_n and_o of_o our_o sin_n and_o quicken_a of_o the_o spirit_n and_o last_o in_o charity_n towards_o our_o neighbour_n so_o also_o we_o acknowledge_v three_o principal_a part_n of_o the_o ecclesiastical_a ministry_n first_o to_o teach_v and_o to_o preach_v the_o word_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o also_o to_o administer_v the_o sacrament_n and_o offer_v up_o the_o public_a sacrifice_n of_o praise_n to_o god_n through_o jesus_n christ_n second_o to_o declare_v by_o the_o apostle_n and_o last_o to_o do_v all_o such_o thing_n which_o though_o they_o be_v not_o express_v in_o the_o scripture_n yet_o do_v belong_v to_o order_n and_o to_o decency_n and_o do_v make_v for_o edification_n and_o not_o for_o destruction_n according_a to_o the_o general_a rule_n give_v by_o the_o apostle_n 14.40_o 1._o cor._n 14.40_o that_o all_o thing_n ought_v to_o be_v do_v in_o the_o church_n in_o order_n decent_o and_o to_o edification_n neither_o think_v we_o that_o any_o authority_n be_v give_v unto_o minister_n beyond_o the_o bound_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n or_o to_o any_o other_o end_n then_o for_o edification_n &_o therefore_o we_o deny_v that_o one_o bishop_n or_o all_o bishop_n together_o have_v authority_n to_o appoint_v any_o thing_n against_o the_o scripture_n to_o add_v or_o detract_v any_o thing_n or_o change_v any_o thing_n in_o they_o to_o dispense_v with_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n to_o make_v new_a article_n of_o faith_n to_o institute_v new_a sacrament_n to_o bring_v new_a rite_n into_o the_o church_n to_o prescribe_v any_o law_n which_o may_v bind_v conscience_n or_o may_v be_v think_v equal_a to_o god_n law_n to_o forbid_v any_o thing_n which_o god_n have_v grant_v and_o leave_v free_a or_o last_o to_o command_v any_o thing_n without_o the_o word_n of_o god_n as_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n since_o not_o the_o whole_a church_n can_v have_v or_o true_o be_v say_v to_o have_v this_o authority_n xxi_o the_o bishop_n which_o be_v also_o prince_n their_o political_a authority_n be_v not_o deny_v by_o the_o way_n we_o disallow_v not_o but_o that_o bishop_n which_o be_v also_o prince_n beside_o their_o ecclesiastical_a authority_n they_o have_v also_o their_o political_a rite_n and_o secular_a power_n even_o as_o other_o prince_n have_v the_o law_n of_o command_v in_o secular_a cause_n the_o law_n of_o the_o sword_n some_o of_o they_o the_o law_n of_o choose_v and_o confirm_v king_n and_o emperor_n and_o of_o direct_v and_o order_v other_o political_a matter_n and_o to_o constrain_v people_n that_o be_v their_o subject_n to_o do_v they_o obedience_n and_o therefore_o we_o confess_v that_o their_o political_a commandment_n which_o may_v be_v keep_v without_o breach_n of_o god_n law_n be_v to_o be_v obey_v by_o their_o subject_n not_o only_o for_o fear_n but_o also_o for_o conscience_n

of_o his_o discipline_n and_o therefore_o we_o believe_v that_o it_o belong_v to_o the_o true_a government_n and_o edification_n of_o the_o church_n that_o prince_n shall_v chief_o subject_v

in_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n i._o there_o be_v a_o perpetual_a dispensation_n of_o remission_n of_o sin_n in_o the_o church_n and_o thereunto_o be_v the_o perpetual_a ministry_n of_o the_o word_n ordain_v we_o have_v before_o confess_v that_o so_o soon_o as_o any_o one_o be_v ingraft_v into_o christ_n by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n he_o present_o obtain_v forgiveness_n of_o all_o his_o sin_n commit_v and_o draw_v a_o new_a life_n from_o his_o head_n christ_n and_o so_o be_v make_v a_o livelie_a member_n of_o the_o church_n but_o because_o the_o most_o holy_a one_o that_o be_v in_o this_o militant_a church_n do_v daily_a sin_n even_o to_o the_o last_o end_n of_o their_o life_n so_o that_o they_o have_v still_o need_n of_o new_a forgiveness_n of_o their_o sin_n and_o also_o of_o new_a repentance_n and_o new_a faith_n to_o apprehend_v forgiveness_n of_o sin_n in_o christ_n &_o that_o faith_n and_o repentance_n be_v stir_v up_o by_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n and_o sacrament_n therefore_o we_o believe_v that_o remission_n of_o sin_n be_v dispense_v and_o bestow_v perpetual_o in_o the_o church_n by_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n and_o sacrament_n and_o that_o the_o ecclesiastical_a ministry_n which_o be_v perpetual_a in_o the_o church_n be_v ordain_v thereunto_o ii_o what_o we_o mean_v by_o the_o name_n of_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o since_o there_o be_v three_o thing_n in_o sin_n the_o action_n itself_o the_o wickedness_n of_o the_o action_n &_o therefore_o the_o sinner_n fault_n remain_v in_o he_o and_o last_o the_o desert_n of_o due_a

unto_o we_o but_o also_o when_o as_o the_o desert_n or_o guiltiness_n be_v take_v away_o and_o the_o due_a punishment_n pardon_v for_o then_o be_v our_o sin_n proper_o forgive_v we_o and_o we_o when_o we_o desire_v in_o prayer_n that_o our_o sin_n may_v be_v forgive_v we_o we_o desire_v not_o only_o to_o be_v absolve_v from_o the_o fault_n and_o that_o the_o iniquity_n may_v not_o be_v impute_v

that_o neither_o we_o can_v say_v that_o we_o forgive_v our_o brethren_n their_o debt_n unless_o we_o set_v they_o free_a from_o the_o debt_n itself_o and_o from_o all_o satisfaction_n and_o see_v

his_o justice_n for_o their_o sin_n see_v that_o one_o full_a satisfaction_n of_o christ_n for_o we_o be_v enough_o and_o more_o then_o enough_o but_o that_o by_o they_o as_o by_o fatherly_a
