A46373 Jus divinum ministerii evangelici. Or The divine right of the Gospel-ministry: divided into two parts. The first part containing a justification of the Gospel-ministry in general. The necessity of ordination thereunto by imposition of hands. The unlawfulnesse of private mens assuming to themselves either the office or work of the ministry without a lawfull call and ordination. The second part containing a justification of the present ministers of England, both such as were ordained during the prevalency of episcopacy from the foul aspersion of anti-christianism: and those who have been ordained since its abolition, from the unjust imputation of novelty: proving that a bishop and presbyter are all one in Scripture; and that ordination by presbyters is most agreeable to the Scripture-patern. Together with an appendix, wherein the judgement and practice of antiquity about the whole matter of episcopacy, and especially about the ordination of ministers, is briefly discussed. Published by the Provincial Assembly of London. London (England). Provincial Assembly.; Calamy, Edmund, 1600-1666. 1654 (1654) Wing J1216A; ESTC R213934 266,099 375

themselves_o into_o this_o inextricable_a difficulty_n for_o he_o that_o renounce_v ordination_n by_o minister_n as_o antichristian_a must_v of_o necessity_n renounce_v not_o only_o our_o present_a

for_o all_o ordination_n by_o the_o people_n be_v null_a and_o void_a as_o be_v not_o only_o not_o ground_v upon_o scripture_n but_o against_o scripture_n and_o to_o intrude_v into_o the_o ministerial_a office_n without_o ordination_n be_v as_o the_o sin_n of_o corah_n and_o his_o company_n as_o we_o have_v former_o show_v our_o desire_n be_v that_o these_o particular_n may_v be_v due_o weigh_v by_o all_o sober_a christian_n it_o will_v not_o be_v amiss_o here_o to_o consider_v what_o be_v say_v against_o this_o thesis_n by_o the_o elder_n of_o new-england_n in_o four_o thing_n they_o agree_v with_o we_o 1._o they_o say_v church-officer_n be_v to_o be_v ordain_v 2._o and_o to_o be_v ordain_v by_o imposition_n of_o hand_n 9_o 3._o that_o where_o there_o be_v elder_n imposition_n of_o hand_n be_v to_o be_v perform_v by_o those_o elder_n 4._o that_o where_o there_o be_v no_o elder_n if_o the_o church_n so_o desire_v imposition_n of_o hand_n may_v be_v perform_v by_o the_o elder_n of_o other_o church_n but_o they_o differ_v from_o what_o we_o have_v assert_v when_o they_o say_v in_o such_o church_n where_o there_o be_v no_o elder_n imposition_n of_o hand_n may_v be_v perform_v by_o some_o of_o the_o brethren_n choose_v by_o the_o church_n thereunto_o for_o the_o proof_n of_o this_o they_o bring_v a_o reason_n and_o a_o scripture_n the_o reason_n be_v if_o the_o people_n may_v elect_v officer_n which_o be_v the_o great_a and_o wherein_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o office_n consist_v they_o may_v much_o more_o occasion_n and_o need_v so_o require_v impose_v hand_n in_o ordination_n which_o be_v the_o less_o and_o but_o the_o accomplishment_n of_o the_o other_o answ._n 1._o if_o this_o argument_n be_v valid_a it_o will_v follow_v that_o people_n may_v ordain_v their_o own_o minister_n not_o only_a when_o they_o want_v elder_n but_o when_o they_o have_v elder_n for_o if_o election_n give_v the_o essence_n to_o a_o minister_n and_o ordination_n only_o a_o adjunct_n we_o see_v no_o reason_n why_o they_o that_o give_v the_o essence_n shall_v not_o also_o give_v the_o adjunct_n and_o why_o a_o adjunct_n shall_v belong_v to_o the_o officer_n in_o that_o church_n to_o who_o the_o essence_n do_v not_o belong_v but_o 2._o we_o say_v that_o scripture-light_n be_v judge_n election_n be_v not_o the_o great_a and_o ordination_n the_o less_o it_o be_v possible_a that_o it_o be_v upon_o this_o ground_n that_o some_o man_n have_v make_v so_o slight_a of_o ordination_n that_o so_o they_o may_v entitle_v the_o people_n thereunto_o but_o we_o have_v abundant_o show_v 1._o that_o election_n do_v not_o give_v the_o essence_n of_o the_o ministerial_a call_n that_o election_n be_v only_o the_o designation_n of_o the_o person_n that_o be_v to_o be_v make_v a_o minister_n not_o the_o make_n of_o he_o a_o minister_n 2._o that_o ordination_n be_v that_o which_o give_v the_o essence_n that_o it_o be_v a_o authoritative_a appoint_v of_o a_o person_n to_o the_o ministry_n and_o a_o actual_a invest_v he_o into_o the_o office_n that_o it_o be_v hold_v forth_o in_o the_o scripture_n as_o the_o great_a and_o therefore_o not_o give_v to_o one_o and_o the_o same_o person_n but_o this_o late_a refer_v to_o the_o more_o honourable_a person_n as_o appear_v from_o act_n 6.3_o 5._o tit._n 1.5_o 1_o tim._n 4.14_o 1_o tim._n 5.22_o the_o text_n they_o quote_v in_o the_o margin_n for_o the_o proof_n of_o this_o be_v not_o out_o of_o the_o new_a testament_n but_o the_o old_a out_o of_o numb_a 8.10_o 11._o and_o thou_o shall_v bring_v the_o levite_n before_o the_o lord_n and_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n shall_v put_v their_o hand_n upon_o the_o levite_n and_o aaron_n shall_v offer_v the_o levite_n before_o the_o lord_n for_o a_o offering_n of_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n that_o they_o may_v execute_v the_o service_n of_o the_o lord_n ans._n 1._o this_o text_n do_v not_o prove_v that_o for_o which_o it_o be_v bring_v but_o make_v rather_o against_o our_o brethren_n for_o they_o say_v that_o where_o there_o be_v elder_n imposition_n of_o hand_n be_v to_o be_v by_o the_o elder_n and_o not_o by_o the_o people_n but_o in_o case_n of_o want_n of_o elder_n but_o here_o aaron_n and_o his_o son_n be_v present_a and_o if_o it_o prove_v any_o thing_n it_o prove_v that_o the_o people_n may_v ordain_v where_o there_o be_v elder_n which_o our_o brethren_n will_v in_o no_o case_n consent_n unto_o 2._o that_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n be_v command_v by_o god_n immediate_o to_o lay_v on_o hand_n upon_o the_o levite_n but_o
in_o the_o new_a testament_n we_o meet_v with_o no_o such_o command_n lay_v upon_o the_o people_n we_o read_v that_o timothy_n and_o titus_n and_o the_o presbytery_n be_v to_o lay_v on_o hand_n but_o not_o a_o word_n of_o command_n for_o the_o people_n but_o rather_o against_o it_o as_o we_o have_v show_v 3._o when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n lay_v on_o hand_n it_o be_v not_o imaginable_a that_o all_o the_o israelite_n do_v put_v on_o hand_n but_o it_o be_v do_v by_o some_o chief_n of_o they_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o rest_n and_o as_o ainsworth_n observe_v it_o be_v do_v by_o the_o first-born_a for_o the_o first-born_a be_v sanctify_v and_o consecrate_v unto_o the_o lord_n exo._n 13.1_o because_o the_o lord_n when_o he_o destroy_v the_o first-born_a in_o egypt_n spare_v the_o first-born_a of_o the_o israelite_n therefore_o he_o challenge_v a_o right_a in_o all_o their_o first-born_a and_o they_o be_v to_o be_v give_v to_o he_o and_o now_o the_o levite_n be_v take_v by_o god_n in_o stead_n of_o the_o first-born_a as_o appear_v numb_a 8.16_o 17._o and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n that_o be_v the_o first-born_a of_o israel_n be_v to_o lay_v on_o hand_n upon_o they_o for_o the_o levite_n give_v a_o atonement_n for_o they_o and_o be_v offer_v up_o unto_o the_o lord_n in_o their_o stead_n and_o as_o the_o rabbin_n say_v every_o first-born_a lay_v on_o hand_n on_o the_o levite_n that_o be_v for_o he_o which_o if_o it_o be_v so_o will_v afford_v we_o two_o other_o answer_n to_o this_o text_n 4._o that_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n have_v not_o only_o a_o special_a command_n but_o a_o special_a reason_n also_o for_o what_o they_o do_v and_o therefore_o this_o example_n can_v be_v make_v a_o pattern_n for_o new_a testament_n practice_n 5._o that_o this_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n upon_o the_o levite_n be_v not_o for_o they_o to_o set_v they_o apart_o for_o the_o service_n of_o the_o lord_n but_o rather_o a_o set_v they_o apart_o for_o a_o sacrifice_n unto_o the_o lord_n it_o be_v the_o command_n of_o god_n that_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n must_v put_v their_o hand_n upon_o the_o sacrifice_n they_o do_v offer_v unto_o the_o lord_n the_o levite_n be_v now_o to_o be_v wave_v or_o offer_v before_o the_o lord_n for_o a_o offering_n of_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n and_o to_o be_v offer_v in_o stead_n of_o the_o first-born_a and_o therefore_o the_o first-born_a do_v put_v their_o hand_n upon_o they_o as_o their_o propitiation_n and_o atonement_n it_o be_v very_o observable_a that_o notwithstanding_o this_o imposition_n of_o hand_n the_o levite_n be_v not_o thereupon_o invest_v into_o their_o office_n and_o make_v able_a immediate_o to_o execute_v it_o but_o aaron_n the_o priest_n be_v to_o wave_v they_o before_o the_o lord_n for_o a_o wave-offering_a that_o they_o may_v execute_v the_o service_n of_o the_o lord_n it_o be_v aaron_n wave_n of_o the_o levite_n and_o separate_v they_o from_o among_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n that_o do_v constitute_v and_o make_v they_o church-officer_n and_o thus_o at_o last_o we_o have_v put_v a_o end_n to_o our_o first_o part_n concern_v the_o divine_a right_n of_o the_o gospel-ministry_n and_o have_v as_o we_o hope_v sufficient_o clear_v to_o the_o conscience_n of_o our_o people_n that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o office_n as_o the_o office_n of_o the_o ministry_n perpetual_o to_o be_v continue_v in_o the_o church_n of_o christ._n that_o no_o man_n ought_v to_o take_v upon_o he_o either_o the_o office_n or_o the_o work_n of_o the_o ministry_n unless_o he_o be_v lawful_o ordain_v thereunto_o that_o ordination_n of_o minister_n be_v a_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n and_o aught_o to_o be_v by_o the_o lay_n on_o of_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o presbytery_n etc._n etc._n we_o can_v but_o expect_v to_o meet_v with_o many_o adversary_n that_o will_v oppose_v what_o we_o have_v here_o write_v some_o will_v deny_v the_o very_a office_n of_o the_o ministry_n other_o will_v grant_v that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o office_n in_o the_o apostle_n day_n but_o will_v say_v that_o it_o be_v now_o quite_o lose_v some_o will_v grant_v that_o the_o office_n of_o the_o ministry_n be_v perpetual_o necessary_a but_o will_v add_v that_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o all_o man_n gift_v to_o enter_v upon_o the_o public_a work_n of_o the_o ministry_n though_o they_o be_v not_o call_v and_o ordain_v thereunto_o some_o be_v for_o a_o immediate_a and_o extraordinary_a call_n to_o the_o ministry_n some_o will_v deny_v all_o ordination_n of_o minister_n other_o will_v grant_v ordination_n but_o deny_v imposition_n of_o hand_n other_o will_v grant_v imposition_n of_o hand_n but_o say_v that_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v do_v by_o private_a church-member_n and_o not_o by_o the_o presbytery_n by_o this_o it_o appear_v that_o our_o adversary_n differ_v as_o much_o one_o from_o another_o as_o they_o do_v from_o we_o and_o therefore_o we_o need_v not_o be_v much_o afraid_a of_o their_o opposition_n for_o in_o write_v against_o we_o they_o will_v be_v necessitate_v also_o to_o write_v one_o against_o another_o it_o be_v

this_o be_v the_o success_n we_o pray_v for_o we_o have_v be_v necessitate_v to_o make_v frequent_a mention_n of_o a_o platform_n of_o church-discipline_n agree_v upon_o by_o the_o elder_n and_o

we_o do_v not_o renounce_v the_o temple_n in_o self_n this_o be_v that_o which_o some_o of_o our_o divine_n say_v that_o we_o differ_v no_o more_o from_o rome_n then_o rome_n differ_v from_o itself_o and_o from_o what_o it_o be_v in_o the_o apostle_n day_n neither_o do_v we_o refuse_v any_o doctrine_n that_o they_o hold_v simple_o because_o they_o hold_v it_o unless_o it_o can_v appear_v to_o we_o that_o that_o doctrine_n be_v part_n of_o the_o antichristianisme_n of_o that_o church_n the_o religion_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v like_o a_o piece_n of_o bread_n mingle_v with_o a_o

consist_v rather_o in_o add_v to_o the_o truth_n then_o in_o detract_n from_o it_o they_o hold_v the_o scripture_n we_o hold_v but_o they_o add_v apocryphal_a to_o the_o canonical_a scripture_n they_o hold_v christ_n the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n but_o the_o pope_n also_o they_o hold_v justification_n by_o faith_n as_o we_o do_v but_o they_o add_v justification_n by_o work_n also_o they_o hold_v pray_v to_o god_n but_o add_v pray_v to_o saint_n they_o hold_v two_o sacrament_n but_o add_v five_o more_o etc._n etc._n thus_o their_o religion_n be_v bread_n and_o poison_n mingle_v together_o and_o whosoever_o live_v among_o they_o can_v separate_v the_o bread_n from_o the_o poison_n shall_v find_v bread_n enough_o to_o nourish_v he_o unto_o eternal_a life_n and_o the_o reason_n why_o we_o
