A37064	A demonstration of the necessity of settling some Gospel-government amongst the churches of Christ in this nation held forth in an answer to a querie whereby Mr. Saltmarch did once endeavour to hinder the settlement of all church-government in the nation : written in the year 1646, and now published for the present use of these times, wherein it may be seasonable to be taken into consideration for the preventing of further confusion and disorder amongst the professors of the Gospell / by John Dury.	Dury, John, 1596-1680.; Hartlib, Samuel, d. 1662.	1654 (1654)	Wing D2851; ESTC R24917	50,485	74

ergo_o they_o will_v be_v bring_v upon_o the_o practice_n of_o that_o wherein_o it_o be_v impossible_a they_o can_v be_v full_o persuade_v in_o their_o mind_n if_o the_o settle_n of_o any_o church-government_n be_v bring_v upon_o they_o although_o all_o this_o be_v grant_v yet_o the_o former_a ground_n not_o be_v sound_a the_o consequence_n by_o which_o his_o main_a conclusion_n be_v to_o be_v infer_v will_v not_o hold_v but_o let_v we_o now_o examine_v the_o truth_n of_o these_o proposition_n also_o in_o themselves_o first_o then_o i_o do_v not_o see_v that_o the_o first_o proposition_n of_o this_o syllogism_n be_v true_a and_o that_o this_o be_v a_o good_a consequence_n namely_o because_o a_o people_n be_v unraight_o and_o not_o able_a to_o judge_v of_o the_o nature_n and_o ground_n of_o church-government_n that_o therefore_o they_o will_v be_v put_v upon_o the_o practice_n of_o that_o wherein_o it_o be_v impossible_a they_o can_v be_v full_o persuade_v in_o case_n they_o be_v bring_v under_o government_n i_o say_v that_o there_o be_v no_o necessary_a coherence_n of_o the_o first_o part_n of_o this_o proposition_n with_o the_o latter_a 1._o because_o the_o settle_n of_o the_o government_n may_v be_v such_o as_o shall_v bring_v its_o own_o light_n with_o it_o and_o convince_v those_o that_o receive_v it_o of_o the_o nature_n and_o the_o ground_n thereof_o 2._o because_o the_o settle_n of_o it_o may_v be_v such_o as_o will_v not_o put_v they_o upon_o any_o practice_n whereat_o they_o shall_v scruple_n for_o both_o the_o government_n and_o the_o way_n of_o settle_v it_o may_v be_v so_o moderate_a and_o suitable_a to_o tender_a conscience_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v constrain_v to_o any_o thing_n whereof_o they_o can_v be_v full_o persuade_v 3._o because_o it_o can_v be_v make_v out_o that_o every_o one_o who_o be_v to_o be_v under_o government_n in_o the_o church_n must_v needs_o understand_v the_o whole_a nature_n and_o

full_o persuade_v be_v it_o not_o enough_o to_o be_v assure_v that_o the_o government_n shall_v not_o urge_v any_o such_o practice_n upon_o they_o and_o if_o they_o know_v that_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v lead_v with_o rigour_n but_o with_o judgement_n that_o the_o lose_a will_v be_v seek_v the_o break_a bind_v up_o the_o sick_a strengthen_v 34.16_o and_o that_o which_o be_v drive_v away_o bring_v back_o will_v not_o this_o be_v satisfactory_a i_o do_v not_o intend_v to_o dissuade_v any_o from_o endeavour_v to_o satisfy_v themselves_o to_o the_o utmost_a of_o their_o ability_n in_o any_o thing_n whereof_o they_o doubt_v but_o rather_o wish_v that_o all_o may_v be_v as_o the_o b●reans_n be_v noble_a in_o search_v out_o all_o truth_n nevertheless_o i_o do_v not_o see_v it_o either_o needful_a or_o useful_a that_o man_n shall_v walk_v so_o scrupulous_o and_o partial_o as_o this_o position_n seem_v to_o allow_v for_o the_o wisdom_n which_o be_v from_o above_o be_v without_o partiality_n 4._o nor_o do_v i_o see_v that_o the_o place_n of_o scripture_n wherein_o the_o apostle_n do_v exhort_v every_o one_o to_o be_v careful_a of_o his_o own_o private_a way_n to_o do_v all_o in_o faith_n and_o with_o a_o full_a persuasion_n of_o mind_n do_v oblige_v he_o that_o have_v this_o care_n of_o himself_o to_o judge_v also_o the_o action_n of_o church-governor_n in_o the_o way_n of_o government_n so_o narrow_o that_o he_o must_v needs_o know_v all_o what_o they_o do_v or_o else_o be_v subject_a in_o nothing_o it_o be_v another_o thing_n to_o be_v full_o persuade_v in_o my_o own_o mind_n of_o that_o which_o i_o must_v do_v and_o another_o to_o be_v full_o persuade_v of_o the_o nature_n and_o ground_n of_o duty_n belong_v to_o the_o government_n which_o be_v entrust_v unto_o other_o i_o may_v do_v the_o former_a and_o satisfy_v myself_o in_o what_o concern_v myself_o and_o yet_o may_v be_v safe_o ignorant_a of_o the_o latter_a so_o than_o i_o do_v not_o find_v this_o to_o be_v a_o truth_n that_o the_o settle_n of_o a_o church-government_n upon_o i_o who_o be_o not_o full_o inform_v of_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o will_v put_v i_o upon_o the_o practice_n of_o that_o whereof_o i_o be_o not_o full_o persuade_v except_o i_o be_v oblige_v to_o administer_v the_o government_n which_o i_o understand_v not_o for_o then_o i_o confess_v i_o be_o put_v upon_o the_o practice_n of_o that_o whereof_o i_o be_o not_o persuade_v but_o if_o i_o be_v not_o oblige_v to_o do_v this_o and_o be_o leave_v free_a to_o do_v what_o be_v good_a for_o i_o to_o do_v how_o be_v it_o true_a that_o by_o the_o settle_n of_o government_n i_o be_o put_v upon_o the_o practice_n of_o that_o whereof_o i_o be_o not_o full_o persuade_v if_o you_o say_v although_o you_o be_v not_o oblige_v to_o practise_v the_o government_n as_o one_o to_o who_o the_o duty_n of_o government_n be_v entrust_v yet_o you_o will_v be_v oblige_v by_o way_n of_o obedience_n to_o practise_v that_o which_o the_o government_n shall_v enjoin_v you_o to_o do_v and_o that_o may_v be_v for_o aught_o you_o know_v something_o whereof_o you_o be_v not_o full_o persuade_v to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v no_o charity_n in_o i_o to_o suspect_v that_o the_o government_n will_v put_v i_o upon_o any_o such_o practice_n but_o if_o it_o do_v than_o it_o will_v be_v time_n to_o show_v my_o grievance_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n i_o think_v it_o not_o just_a because_o i_o may_v think_v that_o some_o such_o thing_n may_v fall_v out_o that_o therefore_o i_o shall_v dissuade_v all_o from_o admit_v of_o any_o government_n whatsoever_o till_o all_o my_o apprehension_n be_v clear_v do_v not_o i_o in_o this_o case_n not_o only_o want_v charity_n but_o also_o take_v too_o much_o upon_o i_o to_o have_v all_o unsettle_a till_o i_o be_v satisfy_v why_o shall_v other_o that_o desire_v to_o be_v under_o government_n and_o be_v satisfy_v in_o the_o nature_n and_o ground_n of_o it_o be_v deprive_v of_o the_o benefit_n thereof_o for_o my_o sake_n or_o why_o shall_v i_o put_v fear_n and_o jealousy_n in_o their_o mind_n to_o alienate_v they_o from_o the_o love_n of_o government_n be_v not_o this_o to_o seek_v myself_o more_o than_o the_o public_a but_o his_o assumption_n or_o second_o proposition_n say_v that_o this_o people_n be_v general_o untaught_a in_o the_o nature_n and_o ground_n of_o government_n and_o therefore_o it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o he_o seek_v not_o himself_o in_o this_o so_o much_o as_o the_o public_a to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o i_o desire_v not_o to_o judge_v he_o in_o his_o particular_a aim_n god_n alone_o do_v know_v the_o secret_n of_o heart_n but_o two_o thing_n i_o must_v add_v first_o that_o the_o nature_n and_o property_n of_o his_o way_n of_o reason_v may_v have_v such_o a_o aim_n and_o therefore_o that_o he_o give_v cause_n to_o suspect_v that_o he_o may_v perhaps_o be_v guilty_a thereof_o second_o i_o say_v that_o i_o see_v no_o cause_n to_o believe_v that_o the_o thing_n which_o he_o say_v of_o this_o people_n be_v true_a in_o the_o sense_n which_o his_o word_n tend_v or_o seem_v to_o insinuate_v for_o i_o be_o persuade_v that_o this_o people_n do_v general_o know_v that_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n of_o some_o government_n and_o that_o the_o best_a government_n be_v that_o which_o be_v settle_v according_a to_o god_n will_n and_o consequent_o that_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v so_o settle_v and_o that_o it_o belong_v to_o the_o ministry_n to_o have_v the_o administration_n of_o it_o and_o that_o they_o ought_v to_o obey_v and_o submit_v to_o those_o that_o be_v set_v over_o they_o in_o the_o lord_n and_o that_o as_o the_o minister_n be_v not_o to_o rule_n over_o they_o according_a to_o his_o own_o will_n but_o according_a to_o god_n will_v reveal_v in_o the_o word_n so_o that_o they_o ought_v to_o yield_v to_o every_o thing_n whereof_o they_o shall_v be_v convict_v from_o the_o word_n that_o it_o be_v to_o god_n will_n i_o say_v i_o see_v no_o cause_n to_o believe_v but_o that_o this_o people_n be_v general_o thus_o much_o taugh_v or_o at_o least_o so_o much_o advance_v towards_o the_o apprehension_n of_o these_o truth_n that_o if_o they_o but_o hear_v they_o deliver_v they_o will_v sincere_o assent_v thereunto_o and_o this_o i_o conceive_v be_v enough_o to_o make_v they_o capable_a of_o government_n therefore_o although_o i_o will_v not_o deny_v but_o that_o many_o be_v untaught_a in_o the_o particular_a way_n and_o ground_n of_o that_o government_n which_o god_n have_v appoint_v in_o his_o house_n yet_o i_o can_v be_v so_o uncharitable_a to_o think_v
