A82508	A defence of sundry positions, and Scriptures alledged to justifie the Congregationall-way; charged at first to be weak therein, impertinent, and unsufficient; by R.H. M. A. of Magd. Col. Cambr. in his examination of them; but upon further examination, cleerly manifested to be sufficient, pertinent, and full of power. / By [brace] Samuel Eaton, teacher, and Timothy Taylor, pastor [brace] of [brace] the church in Duckenfield, in Cheshire. Published according to order.	Eaton, Samuel, 1596?-1665.; Taylor, Timothy, 1611 or 12-1681.	1645 (1645)	Wing E118; Thomason E308_27; ESTC R200391	116,862	145

the_o old_a testament_n for_o pattern_n for_o it_o if_o you_o can_v but_o produce_v one_o instance_n from_o the_o new_a testament_n that_o ever_o elder_n of_o one_o church_n ordain_v officer_n in_o another_o or_o any_o good_a reason_n for_o it_o ground_v thence_o the_o controversy_n about_o ordination_n shall_v be_v end_v betwixt_o we_o and_o the_o pattern_n of_o numb_a 8._o shall_v be_v wave_v you_o tell_v we_o that_o it_o be_v a_o pillar_n of_o popery_n to_o proportion_v the_o church_n now_o answer_v to_o the_o outward_a policy_n of_o israel_n it_o be_v notorious_o know_v reply_v that_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o antichristian_a hierarchy_n be_v lay_v in_o the_o proportion_n which_o some_o will_v have_v betwixt_o the_o jewish_a policy_n and_o the_o policy_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n yet_o this_o debar_v not_o but_o that_o use_n may_v be_v make_v of_o the_o old_a testament_n where_o the_o new_a be_v silent_a do_v not_o you_o rest_v upon_o the_o new_a testament_n for_o the_o change_n of_o the_o seal_n of_o the_o covenant_n and_o conclude_v baptism_n be_v to_o be_v embrace_v in_o stead_n of_o circumcision_n because_o the_o new_a be_v clear_a in_o that_o matter_n and_o yet_o run_v to_o the_o old_a to_o find_v out_o the_o latitude_n and_o extent_n in_o the_o application_n of_o it_o to_o the_o subject_n and_o conclude_v infant_n must_v be_v baptize_v not_o because_o the_o new_a express_o say_v so_o but_o because_o you_o find_v it_o in_o the_o old_a the_o jew_n child_n be_v circumcise_v therefore_o christian_n child_n must_v be_v baptize_v you_o tell_v we_o that_o christ_n faithfulness_n above_o moses_n answer_n consist_v in_o as_o full_a determination_n of_o god_n worship_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o that_o we_o be_v as_o strict_o tie_v to_o the_o gospel-pattern_n as_o the_o jew_n be_v to_o the_o old_a testament_n why_o then_o shall_v we_o in_o ordination_n of_o officer_n be_v guide_v by_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o not_o by_o the_o new_a it_o be_v our_o argument_n against_o those_o that_o hold_v that_o there_o be_v no_o platform_n of_o discipline_n lay_v down_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n reply_v but_o that_o any_o be_v lawful_a that_o the_o state_n will_v authorise_v but_o it_o be_v never_o assert_v by_o we_o that_o all_o thing_n without_o limitation_n be_v direct_o determine_v for_o we_o have_v always_o restrain_v it_o to_o substantial_o neither_o have_v we_o ever_o say_v that_o we_o have_v have_v a_o perfect_a knowledge_n of_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v reveal_v and_o why_o shall_v we_o follow_v the_o ordination_n of_o levite_n rather_o than_o of_o priest_n for_o a_o pattern_n for_o the_o ordination_n of_o elder_n answer_v except_o to_o gratify_v you_o you_o can_v gratify_v we_o by_o follow_v the_o one_o or_o the_o other_o reply_v because_o you_o can_v advantage_v yourselves_o whether_o of_o they_o soever_o you_o betake_v yourselves_o unto_o for_o 1._o if_o the_o people_n lay_v their_o hand_n upon_o the_o levite_n there_o be_v no_o hand_n at_o all_o lay_v upon_o the_o priest_n they_o be_v anoint_v and_o consecrate_v and_o holy_a vestment_n put_v upon_o they_o but_o ordain_v by_o the_o imposition_n of_o hand_n they_o be_v not_o but_o you_o will_v not_o have_v ordination_n of_o elder_n turn_v into_o a_o consecration_n after_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o priest_n 2._o what_o be_v do_v to_o the_o priest_n be_v not_o perform_v by_o any_o ecclesiastical_a person_n but_o by_o moses_n the_o chief_a magistrate_n of_o the_o people_n but_o you_o be_v not_o so_o weary_a of_o ordination_n as_o to_o transfer_v it_o from_o the_o presbytery_n to_o the_o magistracy_n 3._o the_o elder_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v rather_o the_o successor_n of_o the_o levite_n then_o of_o the_o priest_n because_o there_o be_v no_o hierarchy_n among_o they_o and_o therefore_o the_o pattern_n of_o their_o ordination_n be_v rather_o to_o be_v follow_v then_o the_o ordination_n of_o the_o priest_n and_o yet_o not_o to_o gratify_v we_o consult_v better_o the_o next_o time_n with_o scripture_n before_o you_o proceed_v to_o such_o triumph_v position_n xi_o when_o the_o apostle_n be_v send_v out_o by_o christ_n 71._o the_o word_n of_o the_o answer_n to_o 32._o q._n p._n 71._o there_o be_v no_o mention_n of_o ordination_n in_o that_o commission_n of_o they_o but_o only_o of_o teach_v and_o baptise_v mark_n 16.15_o matth._n 18.19_o 20._o if_o ordination_n of_o minister_n have_v be_v such_o a_o special_a work_n there_o will_v be_v like_o have_v be_v some_o mention_n of_o it_o in_o their_o commission_n neither_o be_v there_o mention_n of_o the_o celebration_n of_o the_o eucharist_n answer_n the_o eucharist_n be_v a_o ordinance_n reply_v seal_v the_o same_o covenant_n that_o baptism_n seal_v therefore_o the_o apostle_n have_v commission_n for_o the_o one_o can_v not_o want_v it_o for_o the_o other_o though_o it_o be_v not_o mention_v preach_v and_o baptise_v be_v first_o to_o be_v do_v to_o the_o nation_n answer_n therefore_o they_o be_v there_o mention_v that_o be_v not_o the_o sole_a reason_n reply_v but_o because_o they_o be_v principal_a work_n and_o in_o reference_n to_o the_o subject_a person_n about_o which_o they_o be_v exercise_v more_o apostolical_a for_o they_o may_v preach_v and_o baptize_v in_o all_o the_o world_n whereas_o ordinary_a officer_n in_o a_o ordinary_a way_n may_v not_o do_v such_o work_n in_o all_o the_o world_n but_o only_o in_o the_o church_n we_o find_v the_o apostle_n do_v practice_v ordination_n answer_n and_o yet_o we_o suppose_v they_o go_v not_o beyond_o their_o commission_n act_v 6._o &_o c._n 13._o &_o 14._o and_o a_o commission_n to_o elder_n we_o read_v 1_o tim._n 5._o the_o position_n say_v not_o

out_o of_o which_o the_o position_n be_v exert_v make_v mention_n of_o some_o other_o work_n within_o their_o commission_n not_o mention_v viz._n prayer_n and_o act_n 6.4_o be_v quote_v for_o it_o but_o indeed_o brother_n you_o be_v injurious_a to_o the_o author_n of_o those_o word_n of_o the_o answer_n to_o 32._o q._n p._n 71._o for_o ordination_n be_v not_o deny_v to_o be_v within_o the_o commission_n of_o the_o apostle_n but_o those_o reverend_a man_n do_v grapple_v with_o hierarchicall_a person_n in_o that_o place_n and_o we_o see_v no_o reason_n why_o you_o shall_v take_v offence_n thereat_o if_o you_o will_v not_o have_v yourself_o judge_v to_o be_v one_o of_o they_o their_o word_n be_v these_o some_o indeed_o have_v so_o high_o advance_v ordination_n that_o they_o have_v prefer_v it_o above_o preach_v minister_a of_o sacrament_n prayer_n make_v it_o and_o the_o power_n of_o excommunication_n the_o two_o incommunicable_a prerogatieve_n of_o a_o bishop_n above_o a_o ordinary_a minister_n who_o be_v these_o son_n prelatical_a man_n against_o they_o the_o author_n of_o the_o position_n fight_v and_o first_o will_v beat_v they_o with_o the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n first_o commission_n which_o be_v to_o preach_v and_o to_o baptize_v and_o afterward_o they_o do_v show_v that_o preach_v be_v the_o great_a work_n that_o they_o be_v to_o attend_v upon_o and_o do_v allege_v 1_o cor._n 1.17_o for_o it_o and_o next_o after_o preach_v they_o mention_v prayer_n and_o allege_v act_n 6.4_o and_o then_o they_o speak_v of_o the_o sacrament_n not_o of_o baptism_n alone_o but_o of_o the_o lord_n supper_n so_o that_o brother_n you_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o take_v such_o offence_n because_o of_o the_o eucharist_n for_o they_o give_v it_o its_o due_a place_n in_o the_o apostle_n commission_n after_o this_o they_o render_v another_o reason_n why_o preach_v be_v a_o great_a work_n than_o ordain_v because_o paul_n go_v about_o the_o work_n of_o preach_v and_o leave_v titus_n a_o inferior_a officer_n to_o himself_o to_o the_o work_n of_o ordain_v indeed_o afterward_o when_o those_o reverend_a man_n have_v prove_v that_o ordination_n be_v not_o superior_a to_o preach_v baptism_n etc._n etc._n they_o then_o endeavour_n to_o show_v that_o it_o be_v not_o equal_a to_o those_o work_n so_o as_o that_o none_o but_o those_o which_o may_v perform_v those_o work_n may_v ordain_v and_o they_o bring_v this_o argument_n ordination_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o accomplishment_n of_o election_n it_o may_v be_v perform_v by_o the_o people_n of_o god_n who_o yet_o have_v no_o office_n even_o as_o election_n may_v upon_o who_o it_o depend_v and_o they_o bring_v the_o testimony_n of_o many_o protestant_a writer_n among_o the_o rest_n d._n whitaker_n answer_v to_o bellarmine_n if_o bellarmine_n grant_v the_o call_n of_o those_o bishop_n to_o be_v lawful_a there_o be_v less_o cause_n why_o we_o shall_v doubt_v of_o ordination_n for_o those_o who_o
