dispensation_n xxxv_o if_o no_o christian_a father_n be_v prohibit_v the_o grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n or_o before_o association_n forbid_v by_o god_n to_o exercise_v the_o ministerial_a function_n in_o his_o own_o family_n then_o after_o association_n they_o have_v a_o equal_a liberty_n to_o officiate_v therein_o notwithstanding_o any_o divine_a prohibition_n but_o no_o christian_a father_n be_v prohibit_v the_o grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n or_o before_o association_n forbid_v to_o exercise_v the_o ministerial_a function_n in_o his_o own_o family_n therefore_o notwithstanding_o any_o divine_a prohibition_n they_o have_v after_o association_n a_o equal_a liberty_n of_o officiate_a therein_o xxxvi_o if_o after_o association_n the_o believe_a father_n of_o christian_a family_n have_v a_o equal_a liberty_n to_o officiate_v in_o the_o ministerial_a function_n then_o in_o a_o christian_a commonwealth_n the_o personal_a call_n to_o the_o ministerial_a office_n proceed_v not_o from_o divine_a inauguration_n but_o after_o association_n the_o associate_v believe_a father_n of_o christian_a family_n have_v a_o equal_a power_n to_o officiate_v in_o the_o ministerial_a function_n notwithstanding_o any_o divine_a prohibition_n therefore_o the_o persoval_a call_n to_o the_o public_a ministerial_a office_n must_v necessary_o proceed_v from_o politic_a and_o prudential_a consideration_n xxxvii_o if_o in_o a_o christian_a commonwealth_n the_o personal_a dispose_n of_o the_o ministerial_a office_n be_v from_o humane_a institution_n and_o if_o believe_a father_n have_v original_o a_o equal_a disciplinary_a power_n then_o mere_o the_o call_n to_o the_o ministerial_a office_n can_v make_v a_o justifiable_a claim_n to_o a_o disciplinary_a authority_n but_o in_o such_o a_o commonwealth_n the_o personal_a call_n to_o the_o ministerial_a office_n be_v from_o humane_a institution_n and_o believe_v father_n have_v original_o a_o equal_a disciplinary_a power_n therefore_o a_o claim_n to_o a_o disciplinary_a authority_n can_v be_v make_v good_a mere_o by_o the_o call_n to_o the_o ministerial_a office_n xxxviii_o if_o the_o apostle_n think_v it_o not_o reasonable_a that_o they_o shall_v be_v obstruct_v in_o execute_v their_o ministerial_a office_n by_o regulate_v the_o distribution_n of_o public_a alm_n to_o distress_a christian_a widow_n and_o if_o nothing_o belong_v to_o discipline_n agree_v better_a with_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n than_o the_o duty_n of_o charity_n than_o a_o reason_n will_v be_v hardly_o find_v why_o they_o who_o be_v set_v apart_o for_o doctrine_n must_v therefore_o necessary_o have_v to_o do_v with_o discipline_n but_o the_o apostle_n think_v it_o not_o reasonable_a that_o they_o shall_v be_v hinder_v in_o their_o ministerial_a employment_n by_o regulate_v the_o distribution_n of_o public_a alm_n to_o distress_a widow_n and_o nothing_o belong_v to_o discipline_n agree_v better_a with_o the_o drofession_n of_o a_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n than_o the_o duty_n of_o charity_n act._n 6._o 2._o therefore_o a_o apostolical_a reason_n be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v why_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n must_v necessary_o be_v magistrate_n in_o office_n thirty-nine_o if_o they_o who_o be_v minister_n in_o office_n have_v not_o thereby_o any_o privilege_n to_o be_v magistrate_n in_o office_n than_o the_o episcopal_a office_n be_v not_o inseparable_o annsx_v to_o the_o ministerial_a function_n but_o ehey_n who_o be_v minister_n in_o office_n have_v not_o thereby_o any_o privilege_n to_o be_v magistrate_n in_o office_n therefore_o i_o can_v conceive_v it_o to_o be_v any_o profanation_n of_o the_o office_n shall_v some_o lay-elders_a be_v appoint_v to_o supply_v the_o place_n of_o such_o bishop_n as_o be_v in_o the_o church_n of_o the_o primitive_a christian_n xl._n if_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o primitive_a christian_n be_v the_o only_a cause_n why_o that_o polity_n which_o they_o have_v peculiar_a to_o themselves_o be_v account_v holy_a then_o be_v there_o no_o cause_n why_o some_o part_n of_o the_o polity_n of_o associate_v believe_v family_n shall_v be_v esteem_v more_o or_o less_o holy_a than_o some_o other_o but_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o primitive_a christian_n be_v that_o alone_a for_o which_o the_o polity_n which_o they_o have_v peculiar_a to_o themselves_o be_v account_v holy_a therefore_o there_o be_v no_o cause_n why_o the_o polity_n of_o believe_a associate_n shall_v be_v esteem_v more_o or_o less_o holy_a in_o one_o part_n then_o in_o another_o xli_o if_o it_o be_v through_o faith_n only_o that_o holiness_n be_v impute_v to_o man_n by_o god_n and_o if_o wheresoever_o faith_n be_v there_o holiness_n be_v impute_v than_o sanctimony_n be_v not_o to_o be_v attribute_v more_o to_o one_o believe_a member_n of_o a_o christian_a association_n then_o to_o another_o but_o it_o be_v through_o faith_n only_o that_o holiness_n be_v impute_v to_o man_n by_o god_n and_o wheresoever_o faith_n be_v there_o holiness_n be_v impute_v therefore_o sanctimony_n be_v not_o to_o be_v attribute_v more_o to_o one_o believe_a member_n of_o a_o christian_a commonwealth_n then_o to_o another_o xlii_o if_o holiness_n be_v a_o attribute_n belong_v as_o well_o to_o all_o as_o to_o any_o believer_n and_o to_o every_o part_n as_o well_o as_o to_o any_o part_n of_o the_o polity_n of_o believe_a associate_n than_o the_o native_a power_n of_o a_o believe_a fatherhood_n be_v not_o make_v less_o by_o a_o pretend_a personal_a or_o political_a holiness_n but_o holiness_n be_v a_o attribute_n belong_v as_o well_o to_o all_o as_o to_o any_o believer_n and_o to_o every_o part_n as_o well_o as_o to_o any_o part_n of_o the_o polity_n of_o believe_a associate_n therefore_o a_o pretend_a personal_a or_o political_a holiness_n can_v take_v away_o the_o native_a power_n of_o a_o believe_a fatherhood_n xliii_o if_o the_o authority_n of_o a_o christian_a commonwealth_n be_v sole_o and_o independent_o in_o the_o fatherhood_n and_o if_o lawful_a authority_n ought_v to_o be_v obey_v than_o aught_o communicate_v christian_n to_o subscribe_v whole_o to_o that_o polity_n which_o be_v constitute_v by_o the_o fatherhood_n whether_o personal_o or_o elective_o congregat_v but_o the_o authority_n of_o a_o christian_a commonwealth_n be_v sole_o and_o independent_o in_o the_o fatherhood_n and_o lawful_a authority_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v disobey_v therefore_o communicate_v christian_n be_v religious_o bind_v to_o subscribe_v whole_o to_o that_o polity_n which_o be_v constitute_v by_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o fatherhood_n xliiii_o if_o the_o fatherhood_n of_o associate_v christian_n have_v a_o right_n of_o power_n sole_a independent_a and_o extendable_a to_o the_o whole_a community_n then_o be_v it_o no_o more_o lawful_a for_o any_o member_n therein_o associate_v to_o appeal_v from_o their_o determination_n to_o his_o own_o judgement_n or_o to_o a_o foreign_a judicatory_a in_o matter_n tend_v to_o public_a uniform_a worship_n then_o in_o those_o which_o tend_v to_o the_o persecution_n of_o peace_n and_o prosperity_n but_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o fatherhood_n of_o associate_v christian_n be_v sole_a independent_a and_o extendable_o to_o the_o whole_a community_n therefore_o it_o be_v as_o

uniform_a worship_n as_o in_o those_o which_o tend_v to_o the_o preservation_n of_o peace_n and_o propriety_n xlv_o if_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o fatherhood_n be_v sole_a and_o independent_a in_o all_o cause_n than_o no_o foreign_a power_n can_v assume_v a_o jurisdiction_n over_o any_o member_n of_o a_o christian_a association_n without_o sin_n bue_n the_o authority_n of_o the_o fatherhood_n

association_n xlvi_o if_o no_o foreign_a power_n can_v assume_v a_o jurisdiction_n over_o any_o associate_v member_n of_o a_o christian_a commonwealth_n without_o sin_n than_o the_o pretend_a roman_a hierarchy_n be_v a_o sinful_a usurpation_n but_o no_o foreign_a power_n can_v assume_v a_o jurisdiction_n over_o any_o associate_v member_n of_o a_o christian_a commonwealth_n without_o sin_n therefore_o the_o pretend_a universal_a roman_a hierarchy_n be_v usurpatious_a and_o unlawful_a xlvii_o if_o the_o paternal_a authority_n be_v sole_a equal_a and_o independent_a than_o none_o have_v by_o his_o own_o right_n a_o pre-eminence_n above_o another_o to_o act_v in_o their_o national_a counsel_n but_o the_o paternal_a authority_n be_v original_o sole_a equal_a and_o independent_a
