law_n than_o can_v the_o sin_n of_o the_o laity_n yet_o i_o can_v name_v you_o churchman_n of_o great_a note_n who_o total_o refuse_v to_o be_v prefer_v by_o that_o queen_n to_o any_o bishopric_n at_o all_o because_o they_o will_v by_o no_o mean_n submit_v their_o conscience_n to_o the_o base_a act_n of_o such_o alienation_n and_o one_o of_o they_o be_v bishop_n andrews_n i_o can_v tell_v you_o too_o that_o those_o long_a lease_n he_o speak_v of_o have_v one_o cause_n more_o than_o the_o marriage_n of_o the_o clergy_n for_o when_o they_o see_v a_o stool_n of_o wickedness_n set_v up_o of_o sacrilegious_a wickedness_n that_o imagine_a mischief_n by_o a_o law_n some_o not_o the_o most_o man_n think_v it_o fit_a to_o make_v those_o long_a lease_n that_o the_o estate_n of_o the_o church_n may_v appear_v more_o poor_a and_o so_o the_o less_o subject_a unto_o harpy_n and_o then_o their_o hope_n be_v that_o at_o the_o length_n at_o least_o after_o many_o year_n spend_v it_o may_v return_v whole_a unto_o the_o successor_n he_o go_v on_o but_o to_o deal_v clear_o with_o you_o sir_n i_o do_v not_o understand_v how_o there_o can_v be_v any_o sacrilege_n proper_o so_o call_v which_o be_v not_o a_o theft_n and_o more_o viz._n a_o theft_n of_o something_o dedicate_v to_o holy_a use_n a_o communion_n cup_n for_o instance_n or_o the_o like_a and_o theft_n you_o know_v must_v be_v of_o thing_n movable_a even_o by_o the_o civil_a law_n and_o how_o theft_n can_v be_v of_o land_n or_o sacrilege_n by_o alienate_a church-land_n i_o pray_v ask_v your_o friend_n holborn_n and_o his_o fellow-lawyer_n for_o we_o here_o deride_v we_o for_o the_o question_n it_o seem_v they_o be_v very_o merry_a at_o london_n or_o at_o least_o this_o epistler_n think_v so_o for_o be_v winner_n he_o may_v perhaps_o conceive_v they_o make_v themselves_o pleasant_a with_o a_o feather_n and_o that_o this_o argument_n be_v as_o light_v a_o thing_n appear_v before_o by_o my_o 3_o d_o answer_n for_o can_v any_o man_n think_v in_o earnest_n that_o it_o be_v sacrilege_n and_o so_o a_o sin_n to_o take_v away_o a_o cup_n from_o a_o church_n but_o it_o be_v none_o to_o take_v away_o a_o manor_n as_o if_o ahab_n have_v be_v indeed_o a_o thief_n have_v he_o rob_v naboth_n of_o his_o grape_n but_o elijah_n be_v too_o harsh_a when_o he_o talk_v to_o that_o good_a king_n because_o he_o only_o take_v away_o his_o vineyard_n indeed_o there_o be_v such_o a_o nicety_n in_o the_o civil_a law_n that_o actio_fw-la facti_fw-la lie_v only_a against_o he_o that_o have_v steal_v rem_fw-la mobilem_fw-la for_o justinian_n it_o seem_v in_o the_o composition_n of_o he_o digest_v which_o he_o take_v from_o the_o write_n of_o the_o old_a juris_fw-la prudentis_fw-la thought_n it_o fit_a to_o follow_v

and_o other_o bind_v to_o frame_v all_o the_o phrase_n of_o their_o speech_n according_a to_o the_o criticism_n of_o the_o civil_a law_n as_o it_o be_v now_o put_v out_o by_o justinian_n if_o not_o why_o may_v not_o some_o use_n the_o word_n furtum_fw-la in_o sabinus_n sense_n as_o well_o as_o other_o may_n in_o vlpian_n and_o then_o sacrilege_n may_v be_v proper_o a_o theft_n and_o as_o proper_o in_o immovables_n or_o if_o we_o must_v needs_o speak_v in_o your_o sense_n who_o justinian_n have_v approve_v i_o do_v not_o well_o see_v how_o a_o man_n can_v spoil_v the_o church_n of_o her_o land_n and_o at_o the_o civil_a law_n escape_v a_o action_n of_o theft_n for_o it_o lie_v against_o he_o that_o take_v the_o tree_n 1._o fruit_n and_o stone_n and_o i_o be_o confident_a there_o be_v no_o church-robber_n but_o he_o intend_v to_o make_v use_n of_o those_o kind_n of_o movable_n otherwise_o what_o good_a will_v his_o churchland_n do_v he_o and_o if_o he_o make_v this_o use_n a_o thief_n he_o be_v in_o the_o civil_a law_n phrase_n and_o then_o in_o the_o sense_n of_o this_o epistler_n himself_o he_o be_v without_o doubt_v a_o sacrilegious_a person_n but_o where_o i_o wonder_v do_v the_o londoner_n learn_v that_o furtum_fw-la strictè_fw-la sumptum_fw-la be_v that_o genus_fw-la of_o sacrilege_n so_o that_o where_o there_o be_v no_o theft_n in_o the_o civil_a law_n sense_n there_o be_v none_o of_o this_o kind_n of_o sin_n i_o be_o sure_a it_o be_v neither_o intimate_v by_o the_o greek_a nor_o latin_a word_n nor_o i_o believe_v deliver_v by_o any_o learned_a author_n on_o this_o subject_a so_o that_o i_o must_v set_v down_o a_o assertion_n and_o i_o conceive_v well_o ground_v too_o point_v blank_a against_o this_o londoner_n and_o affirm_v there_o may_v be_v a_o sacrilege_n proper_o so_o call_v which_o be_v not_o a_o theft_n in_o the_o civil_a law_n sense_n which_o have_v be_v prove_v in_o the_o 3_o d_o affertion_n and_o need_v not_o trouble_v sir_n r._n

passage_n and_o will_v think_v that_o this_o epistler_n have_v meet_v with_o a_o civil_a law_n quirk_n which_o he_o know_v not_o well_o how_o to_o wield_v but_o to_o say_v truth_n he_o deal_v clear_o with_o the_o doctor_n and_o tell_v he_o that_o for_o his_o particular_a he_o do_v not_o yet_o understand_v which_o for_o my_o part_n i_o do_v believe_v and_o do_v only_o wonder_v that_o he_o will_v laugh_v at_o another_o in_o a_o point_n he_o can_v no_o better_o satisfy_v he_o in_o he_o go_v on_o the_o hire_n of_o a_o labourer_n at_o most_o as_o sit_v maintenance_n be_v all_o that_o can_v be_v challenge_v but_o the_o maintenance_n must_v be_v honourable_a or_o else_o we_o christian_n use_n god_n like_o no_o other_o man_n far_o worse_o i_o be_o sure_a than_o do_v pagan_n and_o when_o such_o a_o maintenance_n have_v be_v once_o give_v in_o land_n the_o acceptation_n of_o it_o will_v soon_o make_v the_o gift_n immovable_a so_o that_o it_o signify_v little_a to_o say_v the_o apostle_n have_v no_o land_n for_o they_o who_o have_v the_o money_n for_o land_n sell_v may_v no_o man_n will_v doubt_v have_v still_o keep_v the_o land_n have_v they_o like_v they_o but_o the_o church_n be_v in_o her_o persecution_n the_o disciple_n be_v to_o fly_v and_o land_n we_o know_v be_v no_o moveable_n and_o it_o be_v very_o strange_a if_o not_o ridiculous_a to_o affirm_v that_o ananias_n and_o his_o wife_n sin_v in_o take_v back_o what_o they_o have_v promise_v but_o if_o in_o specie_fw-la they_o have_v give_v those_o land_n they_o may_v have_v revoke_v that_o gift_n without_o sacrilege_n he_o proceed_v which_o i_o mention_v to_o avoid_v the_o groundless_a argument_n upon_o the_o land_n and_o portion_n allot_v to_o the_o tribe_n of_o levi_n by_o god_n appointment_n to_o who_o our_o minister_n have_v no_o succession_n our_o minister_n challenge_v nothing_o which_o belong_v to_o the_o tribe_n by_o levitical_a right_n but_o where_o thing_n be_v once_o give_v to_o god_n for_o the_o use_n of_o his_o minister_n they_o there_o get_v a_o moral_a interest_n and_o what_o we_o read_v of_o this_o kind_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n do_v as_o much_o oblige_v christian_n as_o if_o it_o be_v in_o the_o new_a and_o then_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o they_o enjoy_v your_o land_n by_o the_o same_o law_n of_o the_o state_n as_o other_o do_v and_o must_v be_v subject_a to_o that_o law_n which_o alone_o give_v strength_n to_o their_o title_n out_o toto_fw-la coelo_fw-la have_v churchman_n no_o title_n to_o those_o possession_n they_o enjoy_v but_o by_o the_o law_n of_o this_o land_n alone_o yes_o beside_o these_o they_o have_v christ_n acceptation_n and_o so_o they_o be_v become_v they_o by_o law_n evangelical_n their_o land_n be_v god_n own_o propriety_n and_o so_o they_o hold_v they_o from_o he_o by_o the_o law_n moral_a too_o and_o therefore_o though_o by_o the_o new_a constitution_n of_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n they_o hold_v estate_n in_o fee_n simple_o and_o so_o may_v alienate_v without_o punishment_n from_o the_o law_n of_o england_n yet_o they_o can_v do_v it_o without_o guilt_n of_o sin_n as_o be_v a_o breach_n of_o the_o law_n evangelical_n and_o moral_n except_o then_o only_o when_o they_o better_v themselves_o by_o some_o gainful_a at_o least_o not_o hurtful_a permutation_n beside_o be_v this_o argument_n good_a it_o will_v only_o follow_v that_o

ask_v what_o better_a way_n there_o can_v be_v for_o interpret_n text_n than_o that_o very_o same_o mean_n whereby_o i_o know_v text_n to_o be_v text_n to_o wit_n the_o consent_n of_o the_o church_n shall_v i_o believe_v and_o yet_o disbelieve_v that_o selfsame_a consent_n which_o be_v the_o best_a ground_n of_o my_o belief_n this_o be_v as_o it_o be_v to_o say_v that_o i_o believe_v such_o a_o tale_n for_o the_o author_n sake_n who_o have_v tell_v it_o and_o yet_o now_o i_o do_v hold_v the_o selfsame_a man_n to_o be_v a_o lyar._n man_n do_v believe_v the_o testimony_n of_o universal_a consent_n in_o the_o sense_n it_o give_v of_o singular_a term_n and_o why_o not_o in_o the_o sense_n it_o give_v of_o sentence_n and_o proposition_n without_o the_o help_n of_o this_o consent_n which_o indeed_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o our_o dictionary_n how_o shall_v we_o know_v that_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d signify_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n which_o the_o socinian_o at_o this_o day_n deny_v and_o i_o know_v no_o such_o way_n to_o confute_v their_o error_n as_o by_o the_o authority_n of_o this_o consent_n admit_v then_o of_o that_o rule_n that_o consent_v universal_a be_v the_o best_a interpreter_n of_o the_o text_n and_o then_o i_o be_o sure_a that_o it_o be_v as_o clear_a as_o true_a that_o episcopacy_n be_v of_o divine_a or_o apostolical_a right_n and_o that_o proposition_n there_o can_v be_v no_o ordination_n without_o the_o hand_n of_o a_o bishop_n will_v clear_o appear_v to_o be_v as_o well_o ground_v as_o this_o there_o can_v be_v no_o baptism_n without_o a_o lawful_a minister_n which_o yet_o be_v good_a divinity_n among_o our_o new_a master_n in_o scotland_n and_o antiquity_n allow_v it_o extra_n casum_fw-la necessitatis_fw-la for_o i_o ask_v upon_o what_o text_n do_v they_o ground_v this_o rule_n i_o suppose_v they_o will_v say_v upon_o our_o saviour_n word_n go_v teach_v all_o nation_n and_o baptise_v they_o but_o in_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o eucharist_n he_o speak_v those_o word_n too_o but_o only_o to_o the_o twelve_o drink_v etc._n etc._n mat._n 26._o i_o demand_v then_o how_o shall_v we_o know_v that_o when_o our_o saviour_n speak_v those_o word_n to_o the_o eleven_o he_o speak_v they_o only_o as_o to_o lawful_a minister_n but_o when_o he_o speak_v the_o other_o to_o the_o twelve_o he_o speak_v they_o at_o large_a as_o to_o they_o that_o do_v represent_v all_o christian_a man_n so_o that_o though_o only_a minister_n may_v baptise_v yet_o all_o christian_n may_v receive_v the_o cup_n perhaps_o they_o will_v say_v that_o this_o general_a receive_v the_o cup_n be_v manifest_a from_o the_o 1_o cor._n 11._o and_o i_o think_v so_o too_o where_o st._n paul_n seem_v to_o chide_v the_o whole_a church_n for_o their_o irreverence_n at_o the_o sacrament_n but_o if_o a_o quarrel_n shall_v reply_v that_o he_o there_o speak_v but_o of_o the_o presbytery_n only_o whereof_o many_o be_v at_o that_o time_n at_o corinth_n as_o when_o in_o chap._n 5._o he_o seem_v to_o chide_v the_o whole_a church_n for_o not_o excommunicate_v the_o incestuous_a person_n yet_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o he_o mean_v none_o but_o the_o man_n in_o government_n as_o sure_o all_o presbyterian_o will_v allow_v i_o i_o know_v not_o what_o can_v be_v say_v but_o to_o make_v it_o appear_v out_o of_o the_o father_n and_o other_o that_o the_o whole_a christian_a church_n never_o take_v the_o word_n in_o that_o sense_n and_o if_o to_o stop_v the_o mouth_n of_o the_o contentious_a we_o must_v be_v constrain_v to_o quote_v the_o authority_n of_o universal_a consent_n and_o of_o the_o common_a practice_n of_o christ_n church_n than_o you_o will_v easy_o see_v that_o those_o two_o proposition_n name_v do_v stand_v fast_o on_o the_o same_o bottom_n there_o can_v be_v no_o baptism_n without_o a_o lawful_a minister_n extra_fw-la casum_fw-la necessitatis_fw-la for_o so_o the_o practice_n and_o consent_v of_o universal_a church_n have_v still_o interpret_v that_o text._n and_o again_o it_o be_v true_a there_o can_v be_v no_o ordination_n without_o the_o hand_n of_o a_o bishop_n for_o so_o those_o text_n out_o of_o timothy_n and_o titus_n have_v be_v understand_v and_o practise_v for_o one_o thousand_o five_o hundred_o year_n together_o by_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n of_o christ._n it_o be_v true_a that_o this_o precept_n of_o christ_n go_v you_o teach_v all_o nation_n and_o baptize_v they_o run_v not_o in_o exclusive_a word_n you_o apostle_n or_o you_o lawful_a minister_n and_o

a_o bishop_n nay_o that_o there_o be_v something_o divine_a in_o the_o episcopal_a order_n will_v appear_v clear_o by_o this_o that_o immediate_o from_o the_o time_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n yea_o within_o the_o reach_n of_o those_o time_n it_o be_v universal_o spread_v throughout_o the_o whole_a church_n so_o that_o no_o man_n can_v name_v a_o nation_n that_o be_v once_o

so_o universal_a general_n council_n there_o be_v none_o about_o it_o at_o which_o all_o christian_n may_v have_v meet_v and_o may_v thence_o have_v obey_v their_o direction_n nor_o can_v any_o name_n a_o power_n to_o which_o all_o christian_n will_v submit_v for_o they_o be_v soon_o fall_v into_o faction_n but_o either_o the_o authority_n of_o christ_n or_o his_o apostle_n from_o they_o then_o must_v needs_o flow_v the_o episcopal_a order_n and_o at_o that_o fountain_n i_o shall_v leave_v it_o i_o say_v within_o the_o reach_n of_o the_o apostle_n time_n for_o before_o st._n john_n die_v there_o be_v upon_o good_a church_n record_v above_o twenty-eight_a bishop_n appoint_v to_o their_o several_a see_v as_o at_o jerusalem_n alexandria_n antioch_n rome_n ephesus_n crete_n athens_n

plain_a how_o great_a a_o corruption_n nay_o how_o flat_o a_o sin_n be_v bring_v into_o christ_n church_n when_o episcopacy_n be_v throw_v down_o and_o so_o where_o ordination_n be_v perform_v by_o

be_v a_o corruption_n far_o worse_o than_o if_o a_o church_n shall_v audacious_o attempt_v to_o put_v down_o the_o lord_n day_n since_o the_o observation_n of_o that_o time_n be_v neither_o build_v

the_o lord_n day_n though_o the_o institution_n of_o it_o be_v mere_o apostolical_a they_o must_v needs_o confess_v that_o there_o be_v at_o least_o as_o much_o sin_n nay_o indeed_o more_o in_o part_v

for_o the_o point_n of_o sacrilege_n and_o the_o better_a to_o clear_v this_o i_o must_v premise_v these_o direction_n 1._o that_o god_n accept_v of_o thing_n give_v he_o and_o so_o hold_v a_o
