which_o he_o have_v more_o than_o the_o bishop_n in_o the_o council_n of_o antioch_n it_o appear_v that_o the_o bishop_n of_o the_o metropolitan_a 9_o seat_n call_v synod_n &_o propound_v the_o

long_o as_o he_o live_v to_o be_v a_o good_a minister_n of_o the_o word_n and_o therefore_o the_o gift_n be_v divers_a wherewith_o those_o office_n must_v be_v execute_v although_o it_o be_v neither_o

be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o seed_n or_o fry_v of_o the_o minister_n or_o that_o he_o mean_v by_o those_o word_n that_o the_o deaconship_n be_v a_o step_n to_o the_o pastorshyp_n which_o may_v yet_o also_o further_o appear_v by_o the_o phrase_n of_o speech_n which_o the_o apostle_n use_v for_o he_o do_v not_o say_v that_o they_o that_o do_v the_o office_n of_o deaconship_n well_o shall_v come_v to_o or_o get_v a_o good_a stand_n but_o he_o say_v that_o in_o so_o do_v they_o do_v get_v themselves_o a_o good_a stand_n that_z be_v they_o get_v themselves_o authority_n &_o estimation_n in_o the_o church_n whereby_o they_o may_v be_v both_o the_o bold_a to_o do_v their_o office_n and_o whereby_o they_o may_v do_v it_o with_o more_o fruit_n whereas_o when_o they_o live_v naught_o they_o

be_v lawful_a to_o break_v it_o in_o deed_n so_o the_o poet_n but_o in_o the_o person_n of_o a_o unjust_a and_o ambition_n man_n say_v ei_fw-la chre_n adicein_o tyrannidos_fw-la heneca_v chre_n that_o be_v if_o a_o man_n must_v do_v unjust_o he_o must_v do_v it_o to_o bear_v rule_n secondary_o i_o do_v see_v that_o m._n doctor_n will_v not_o be_v shackle_a and_o hinder_v from_o his_o ministry_n by_o a_o pair_n of_o iron_n fetters_n but_o if_o he_o can_v get_v a_o pair_n of_o golden_a fetters_n he_o be_v content_v to_o be_v hamper_v and_o entangle_v from_o do_v the_o office_n of_o ministry_n

say_v it_o be_v a_o help_n &_o maintain_v religion_n in_o deed_n that_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o the_o papist_n which_o m._n caluin_n confute_v in_o his_o institution_n and_o although_o it_o be_v good_a 11._o and_o necessary_a to_o punish_v vice_n and_o iniquity_n by_o corporal_a punishment_n and_o by_o civil_a correction_n yet_o it_o do_v no_o more_o follow_v that_o that_o shall_v be_v do_v by_o the_o minister_n then_o it_o follow_v that_o for_o that_o preach_n and_o minister_a the_o sacrament_n and_o excommunication_n be_v good_a and_o necessary_a therefore_o the_o same_o be_v fit_v to_o be_v execute_v by_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n i_o grant_v the_o minister_n have_v also_o to_o punish_a vice_n for_o as_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n punish_v light_a fault_n with_o some_o penalty_n of_o money_n or_o loss_n of_o member_n so_o the_o church_n and_o the_o minister_n especial_o with_o the_o church_n have_v to_o punish_v fault_n by_o represion_n and_o rebuke_n and_o as_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n punish_v great_a fault_n by_o death_n so_o the_o minister_n with_o other_o which_o have_v interest_n have_v with_o the_o sword_n of_o excommunication_n power_n to_o kill_v those_o which_o be_v rebellious_a &_o to_o cut_v they_o from_o the_o church_n as_o the_o other_o do_v from_o the_o common_a wealth_n and_o if_o it_o be_v a_o help_n to_o the_o minister_n office_n that_o he_o shall_v meddle_v with_o civil_a punishment_n why_o shall_v it_o not_o be_v a_o help_n unto_o the_o magistrate_n office_n that_o he_o shall_v excommunicate_v and_o other_o thing_n pertain_v to_o the_o ecclesiastical_a discipline_v and_o where_o as_o m._n doctor_n say_v they_o may_v
but_o it_o be_v true_a that_o he_o that_o be_v once_o over_o the_o shoe_n stick_v not_o to_o run_v over_o his_o boot_n and_o last_o of_o all_o to_o prove_v that_o bishop_n may_v have_v prison_n he_o cite_v peter_n which_o punish_v ananias_n and_o saphira_n with_o death_n m._n doctor_n must_v understand_v that_o this_o be_v ecclesiastical_a power_n and_o be_v do_v by_o virtue_n of_o that_o

may_v do_v so_o always_o &_o because_o s._n peter_n do_v that_o which_o appertain_v to_o no_o civil_a magistrate_n and_o which_o no_o civil_a magistrate_n by_o any_o mean_n may_v or_o can_v do_v

this_o fault_n of_o dissimulation_n which_o be_v not_o know_v nor_o declare_v itself_o by_o any_o outward_a action_n so_o that_o if_o this_o example_n prove_v any_o thing_n it_o prove_v that_o the_o

the_o minister_n ought_v to_o meddle_v with_o civil_a office_n for_o proof_n whereof_o the_o b._n allege_v the_o example_n of_o augustine_n which_o as_o possidonius_fw-la write_v be_v trouble_v with_o

of_o by_o certain_a in_o their_o worldly_a affair_n he_o write_v epistle_n to_o diverse_a but_o he_o account_v of_o this_o as_z of_o compulsion_n and_o restraint_n from_o his_o better_a busyness_n whereby_o it_o appear_v that_o s._n augustine_n meddle_v not_o with_o those_o worldly_a affair_n further_o then_z by_o way_n of_o give_v counsel_n which_o be_v not_o unlawful_a for_o a_o minister_n to_o do_v as_z one_o friend_n unto_o a_o other_o so_o that_o his_o ministry_n be_v not_o thereby_o hinder_v and_o for_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o matter_n that_o minister_n ought_v not_o to_o meddle_v
