lesser_a suitable_a to_o every_o sin_n and_o sinner_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v better_a to_o put_v the_o office_n of_o authority_n and_o jurisdiction_n into_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o magistrate_n then_o of_o a_o bishop_n 10._o if_o a_o bishop_n exercise_n jurisdiction_n he_o will_v be_v exceed_o partial_a and_o unjust_a in_o his_o office_n punish_v one_o or_o two_o sin_n let_v all_o other_o go_v scotfree_a for_o the_o bishop_n in_o the_o consistory_n punish_v adultery_n and_o fornication_n with_o excommunication_n but_o let_v we_o go_v scotfree_a the_o thief_n murderer_n traitor_n the_o swearer_n and_o perjure_a person_n the_o drunkard_n the_o disobedient_a to_o magistrate_n master_n and_o parent_n he_o that_o wound_n strike_v or_o beat_v his_o neighbour_n defame_v he_o in_o his_o good_a name_n by_o slanderous_a word_n he_o that_o break_v his_o neighbour_n fence_n feed_v his_o grass_n and_o destroy_v his_o corn_n that_o strike_v and_o lame_v or_o kill_v his_o horse_n or_o other_o cattle_n and_o very_o many_o more_o now_o be_v not_o all_o these_o sin_n as_o well_o as_o adultery_n and_o fornication_n why_o shall_v a_o bishop_n be_v so_o partial_a and_o unrighteous_a as_o for_o to_o excommunicate_v for_o one_o or_o two_o sin_n &_o not_o to_o excommunicate_v for_o many_o other_o sin_n be_v it_o not_o better_o therefore_o that_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n put_v all_o authority_n and_o jurisdiction_n into_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o magistrate_n who_o be_v not_o partial_a but_o do_v and_o can_v punish_v all_o sin_n then_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o a_o partial_a bishop_n who_o do_v punish_v but_o two_o or_o three_o sin_n and_o sinner_n 11._o if_o a_o bishop_n exercise_v jurisdiction_n he_o shall_v hold_v two_o office_n magistracy_n and_o ministry_n which_o be_v inconsistent_a the_o one_o destroy_v the_o other_o for_o first_o look_v upon_o all_o minister_n in_o the_o kingdom_n who_o have_v pastoral_a charge_n and_o they_o will_v confess_v that_o they_o find_v work_n enough_o to_o study_v the_o six_o day_n against_o sunday_n and_o then_o to_o preach_v to_o administer_v the_o two_o sacrament_n to_o bury_v the_o dead_a to_o visit_v the_o sick_a and_o to_o reconcile_v his_o parishioner_n at_o variance_n the_o office_n of_o a_o ministry_n alone_o require_v the_o whole_a man._n 2._o so_o do_v the_o office_n of_o magistracy_n in_o a_o bishop_n for_o he_o be_v to_o exercise_v jurisdiction_n over_o a_o thousand_o minister_n and_o town_n and_o so_o this_o be_v more_o than_o he_o can_v do_v alone_o for_o he_o must_v have_v his_o chanceler_n and_o i_o know_v not_o how_o many_o officer_n more_o to_o assist_v he_o so_o you_o see_v the_o two_o office_n of_o magistracy_n and_o ministry_n be_v inconsistent_a because_o each_o one_o require_v the_o whole_a man_n and_o to_o jumble_v they_o together_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o one_o man_n the_o one_o destroy_v the_o other_o these_o two_o great_a ordinance_n and_o office_n of_o magistracy_n and_o ministry_n have_v ever_o be_v distinct_a the_o one_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o laiety_n the_o other_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o clergy_n save_v where_o the_o pope_n have_v put_v in_o his_o foot_n it_o be_v a_o confusion_n of_o order_n and_o office_n for_o a_o bishop_n to_o rule_n and_o preach_v both_o as_o it_o be_v for_o the_o lord-chiefe-justice_n to_o rule_v and_o preach_v also_o a_o act_n be_v make_v 1640._o in_o the_o reign_n of_o charles_n the_o first_o to_o disinable_a bishop_n for_o sit_v in_o parliament_n upon_o this_o ground_n that_o bishop_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v entangle_v with_o jurisdiction_n the_o office_n of_o the_o ministry_n be_v of_o such_o great_a importance_n that_o it_o will_v take_v up_o the_o whole_a man_n now_o be_v not_o this_o reason_n as_o strong_a against_o a_o bishop_n jurisdiction_n in_o our_o day_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o day_n of_o king_n charles_n the_o first_o it_o be_v the_o pope_n that_o introduct_v this_o confusion_n of_o distinct_a office_n out_o of_o lucre_n and_o gain_v and_o desire_v to_o domineer_v over_o the_o laiety_n he_o hatch_v or_o nurse_v if_o up_o this_o monster_n this_o babel_n of_o confusion_n which_o as_o there_o be_v two_o sun_n in_o the_o firmament_n or_o two_o king_n in_o england_n a_o corporal_a king_n and_o spiritual_a king_n or_o one_o king_n over_o the_o commonwealth_n and_o another_o king_n over_o the_o church_n be_v it_o not_o better_o then_o to_o make_v the_o bishop_n a_o preacher_n only_o and_o the_o magistrate_n a_o ruler_n over_o all_o for_o as_o you_o have_v see_v prove_v whilst_o a_o bishop_n hold_v these_o two_o office_n of_o preach_v and_o rule_v his_o preach_v as_o a_o bishop_n be_v superfluous_a and_o his_o rule_v as_o a_o magistrate_n be_v superfluous_a also_o unjust_a and_o partial_a 12._o if_o a_o bishop_n take_v his_o commission_n to_o exercise_v jurisdiction_n from_o the_o king_n than_o his_o authority_n be_v jus_o humanum_fw-la and_o then_o the_o king_n with_o his_o parliament_n may_v order_v bishop_n at_o his_o will_n and_o pleasure_n he_o may_v make_v ten_o or_o twenty_o bishop_n in_o his_o diocese_n or_o every_o minister_n in_o his_o town_n or_o parish_n a_o bishop_n in_o difficult_a cause_n to_o order_v ten_o or_o twelve_o minister_n to_o determine_v it_o 2._o the_o king_n may_v have_v all_o do_v free_o without_o reward_n for_o he_o have_v under_o he_o many_o magistrate_n as_o high-sheriff_n major_n and_o justice_n of_o the_o peace_n who_o exercise_n jurisdiction_n free_o without_o reward_n and_o why_o shall_v a_o bishop_n require_v more_o for_o exercise_v jurisdiction_n in_o the_o church_n spiritual_a man_n shall_v be_v far_o off_o from_o desire_n of_o lucre_n and_o gain_n no_o doubt_n but_o the_o king_n may_v find_v in_o every_o diocese_n minister_n enough_o who_o be_v grave_a sober_a meek_a learned_a and_o pious_a who_o will_v take_v up_o their_o office_n without_o lucre_n and_o gain_v these_o thing_n consider_v no_o doubt_n but_o bishop_n will_v renounce_v jus_o humanum_fw-la a_o commission_n from_o the_o king_n and_o will_v have_v their_o office_n to_o be_v jus_o divinum_fw-la from_o god_n but_o against_o this_o i_o have_v already_o say_v enough_o yet_o for_o further_a satisfaction_n i_o will_v in_o brief_a answer_n their_o text_n 1_o they_o plead_v peter_n two_o key_n the_o one_o for_o their_o jurisdiction_n answ_n the_o one_o may_v be_v the_o key_n to_o open_a heaven_n gate_n to_o the_o penitent_a the_o other_o key_n may_v be_v to_o lock_v out_o the_o impenitent_a and_o so_o there_o be_v not_o a_o three_o key_n for_o jurisdiction_n 2._o they_o plead_v the_o name_n bishop_n suppose_v more_o to_o be_v in_o the_o name_n then_o in_o the_o thing_n answ_n 1._o the_o name_n bishop_n in_o scripture_n be_v give_v to_o every_o minister_n see_v act._n 20._o 17_o 28._o those_o call_v elder_n ver_fw-la 17._o be_v call_v bishop_n in_o the_o greek_a text_n v._o 28._o see_v to_o the_o like_a purpose_n tit._n 1.5.7_o and_o see_v 1_o pet._n 5.1_o 2._o it_o be_v elder_n in_o v._o 1._o and_o bishop_n in_o the_o greek_a text_n v._o 2._o second_o the_o name_n bishop_n do_v not_o employ_v any_o lordly_a superiority_n and_o domineer_a jurisdiction_n of_o one_o minister_n over_o another_o this_o i_o deny_v and_o must_v see_v it_o prove_v before_o i_o grant_v it_o 2_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v for_o christ_n forbid_v it_o mat._n 20_o 85_o and_o 1_o pet_n 5_o 3._o 3_o they_o plead_v the_o honourable_a title_n of_o angel_n give_v to_o bishop_n rev._n 2_o 1_o answer_v 1_o i_o may_v marvel_v why_o bishop_n will_v cause_v the_o word_n to_o be_v translate_v angel_n rather_o than_o messenger_n for_o so_o it_o be_v translate_v luke_n 7_o 24._o and_o james_n 2_o 25._o beside_o the_o word_n shall_v be_v translate_v angel_n when_o it_o be_v understand_v of_o a_o spirit_n but_o not_o so_o when_o it_o be_v understand_v of_o a_o man_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o text_n rev._n 2_o 1_o but_o bishop_n in_o those_o day_n be_v cock_n sure_a that_o this_o honourable_a title_n of_o angel_n must_v be_v apply_v to_o they_o cause_v the_o word_n to_o be_v translate_v angel_n that_o so_o their_o excellency_n may_v be_v admire_v among_o the_o vulgar_a sort_n and_o so_o they_o be_v when_o a_o bishop_n in_o the_o cathedral_n sit_v in_o the_o chair_n of_o state_n adorn_v with_o his_o rochet_n and_o pure_a white_a surplice_n and_o lawn_n sleve_n the_o people_n do_v behold_v he_o as_o a_o angel_n of_o light_n there_o be_v a_o angel_n of_o light_n and_o angel_n of_o darkness_n but_o those_o bishop_n be_v not_o light_a for_o they_o give_v no_o light_n in_o the_o pulpit_n all_o the_o year_n long_o unless_o of_o christmas_n day_n easter_n day_n or_o whit-sunday_n in_o the_o forenoon_n 2._o
