be_v presuppose_v i_o put_v this_o conclusion_n all_o person_n in_o a_o church_n or_o the_o whole_a collective_a body_n thereof_o have_v not_o ecclesiastical_a jurisdiction_n 1._o they_o have_v not_o the_o power_n to_o exercise_v it_o 1._o because_o we_o read_v no_o such_o thing_n in_o scripture_n viz._n that_o ever_o god_n commit_v the_o government_n of_o the_o church_n to_o every_o idle_a fellow_n that_o be_v a_o member_n thereof_o 2._o because_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o general_a ordinance_n of_o god_n 1_o tim._n 3._o that_o all_o church-officer_n be_v examine_v and_o try_v

because_o every_o particular_a member_n of_o the_o church_n have_v not_o the_o ability_n to_o judge_n or_o rule_n because_o of_o his_o ignorance_n and_o want_v of_o learning_n for_o every_o one_o in_o

other_o very_o slow_a in_o their_o judgement_n some_o in_o their_o speech_n and_o some_o in_o all_o which_o be_v not_o convenient_a in_o so_o grave_a matter_n in_o judge_v the_o judgement_n of_o the_o lord_n 5._o because_o some_o be_v vicious_a and_o culpable_a of_o the_o fault_n or_o crime_n that_o be_v to_o be_v judge_v and_o condemn_v in_o other_o and_o therefore_o be_v not_o fit_a judge_n to_o

jurisdiction_n than_o woman_n also_o who_o saint_n paul_n command_v to_o hold_v their_o peace_n in_o the_o church_n 1_o cor._n 14.34_o and_o to_o be_v subject_a in_o obedience_n without_o

church_n it_o may_v be_v answer_v that_o they_o admit_v not_o babe_n but_o those_o only_a that_o be_v in_o age_n and_o apparent_o regenerate_v inst_z but_o then_o every_o member_n of_o the_o church_n have_v power_n to_o judge_n but_o man_n distract_v be_v in_o age_n ergo_fw-la they_o have_v power_n to_o judge_n it_o may_v be_v answer_v that_o they_o understand_v that_o those_o only_a that_o be_v in_o age_n and_o have_v the_o use_n of_o reason_n shall_v be_v admit_v inst_z 1._o but_o when_o have_v a_o man_n the_o use_n of_o reason_n how_o shall_v they_o define_v that_o it_o be_v common_o

will_v admit_v nothing_o in_o discipline_n but_o that_o which_o be_v command_v by_o christ_n 2._o what_o if_o a_o man_n in_o his_o old_a age_n begin_v to_o dote_v they_o may_v answer_v that_o then_o he_o be_v exclude_v because_o reason_n fail_v he_o inst_z then_o he_o must_v be_v declare_v not_o sit_v which_o may_v breed_v division_n jnst_n item_n a_o man_n may_v be_v in_o age_n and_o yet_o little_o skill_v in_o divinity_n for_o to_o judge_v in_o matter_n of_o heresy_n and_o be_v more_o vicious_a than_o when_o he_o be_v a_o child_n and_o if_o a_o man_n be_v judge_v by_o babe_n child_n
