church_n or_o man_n 5_o that_o if_o christ_n do_v not_o ordain_v a_o church-governement_n which_o at_o the_o pleasure_n of_o man_n can_v not_o be_v change_v than_o he_o be_v inferior_a unto_o moses_n for_o the_o government_n place_v by_o he_o may_v no_o man_n to_o alter_v and_o thereto_o may_v no_o man_n add_v any_o thing_n heb._n 3.2,3_o 6_o that_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n do_v appoint_v as_o perfect_a and_o unchangeable_a a_o form_n of_o church-governement_n in_o the_o office_n and_o officet_n thereof_o as_o moses_n do_v in_o the_o old_a 7_o that_o the_o lord_n never_o place_v any_o office_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n but_o the_o office_n of_o apostle_n prophet_n evangelist_n pastor_n doctor_n elder_n and_o deacon_n 8_o that_o unto_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n there_o be_v no_o other_o office_n to_o be_v place_v in_o the_o church_n but_o only_o these_o 9_o that_o none_o of_o these_o be_v and_o so_o no_o office_n of_o a_o lawful_a church-governement_n be_v to_o be_v remove_v out_o of_o the_o church_n by_o any_o but_o by_o the_o lord_n christ_n himself_o who_o place_v they_o because_o they_o be_v the_o member_n of_o his_o body_n in_o the_o place_n or_o displace_v whereof_o man_n have_v no_o skill_n nor_o yet_o commission_n to_o deal_v 10_o that_o the_o lord_n for_o the_o cause_n seem_v good_a to_o his_o own_o wisdom_n whereof_o any_o further_a than_o he_o have_v set_v down_o in_o his_o word_n man_n be_v not_o to_o inquire_v have_v remove_v out_o of_o the_o church_n the_o office_n of_o apostle_n prophet_n and_o evangelist_n 11_o that_o the_o want_n of_o these_o can_v be_v no_o maim_n unto_o the_o church_n see_v the_o lord_n by_o remove_v they_o thence_o show_v that_o the_o body_n can_v have_v no_o use_n of_o they_o 12_o that_o the_o church_n be_v now_o unto_o the_o world_n end_n to_o have_v none_o other_o office_n in_o it_o but_o of_o pastor_n doctor_n elder_n and_o deacons_n 13_o that_o the_o displace_n or_o the_o want_n of_o these_o be_v a_o maim_n unto_o the_o church_n and_o therefore_o 14_o that_o the_o church_n of_o god_n in_o denmark_n saxony_n tygurium_n etc._n etc._n want_v this_o government_n by_o these_o office_n be_v to_o be_v account_v maim_v and_o unperfect_a 15_o that_o it_o be_v as_o good_a a_o reason_n yea_o and_o a_o far_o better_a to_o say_v that_o learned_a man_n and_o valiant_a captain_n must_v have_v their_o eye_n put_v out_o because_o homer_n and_o zisca_n be_v blind_a as_o to_o avouch_v that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n may_v not_o be_v govern_v by_o pastor_n doctor_n elder_n and_o deacons_n because_o other_o good_a church_n want_v this_o regiment_n 16_o that_o to_o place_v other_o in_o the_o stead_n of_o these_o be_v both_o a_o maim_v and_o a_o deform_v of_o the_o church_n 17_o that_o no_o magistrate_n may_v lawful_o maim_v or_o deform_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v the_o church_n and_o therefore_o 18_o that_o no_o lawful_a church-governement_n be_v changeable_a at_o the_o pleasure_n of_o the_o magistrate_n 19_o that_o the_o platform_n of_o government_n by_o pastor_n doctor_n elder_n and_o deacon_n be_v not_o devise_v by_o man_n but_o by_o our_o saviour_n christ_n himself_o the_o only_a head_n and_o alone_o universal_a bishop_n of_o his_o church_n as_o it_o be_v set_v down_o rom._n 12.4,5_o ephes_n 4.12_o and_o 1._o cor._n 12.8,28_o god_n have_v

christian_n state_n and_o commonwealth_n consist_v in_o the_o sound_a execution_n of_o this_o church-governement_n by_o pastor_n doctor_n elder_n and_o deacon_n 22_o that_o of_o necessity_n all_o christian_n magistrate_n be_v bind_v to_o receive_v this_o government_n by_o pastor_n doctor_n elder_n and_o deacon_n and_o to_o abolish_v all_o other_o church-governement_n 23_o that_o a_o church_n government_n be_v the_o ordinance_n of_o the_o magistrate_n or_o of_o the_o church_n be_v a_o unlawful_a church-governement_n 24_o that_o it_o be_v mere_o and_o utter_o unlawful_a for_o any_o man_n church_n or_o state_n to_o ordain_v any_o church-governement_n or_o any_o church_n officer_n save_o that_o government_n and_o those_o officer_n before_o name_v because_o 25_o that_o a_o church-governement_n consist_v of_o any_o other_o officer_n but_o pastor_n doctor_n elder_n &_o deacon_n be_v a_o government_n of_o maim_a and_o misshape_a member_n therefore_o 26_o that_o our_o church-governement_n in_o england_n by_o lord_n archbishop_n and_o bishop_n be_v a_o government_n of_o maim_a unnatural_a and_o deform_a member_n serve_v for_o no_o use_n in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n therefore_o also_o 27_o that_o no_o lord_n bishop_n be_v to_o be_v maintain_v in_o any_o christian_n common_a wealth_n 28_o that_o those_o kingdom_n and_o state_n who_o defend_v any_o church-governement_n save_o this_o of_o pastor_n doctor_n elder_n and_o deacon_n be_v in_o danger_n of_o utter_a destruction_n in_o as_o much_o as_o they_o defend_v the_o maim_n and_o deformity_n of_o the_o church_n and_o therefore_o 29_o that_o our_o lord_n archbishop_n and_o bishop_n in_o defend_v this_o their_o ungodly_a government_n be_v not_o only_a traitor_n to_o god_n and_o his_o church_n but_o utter_a enemy_n unto_o her_o majesty_n and_o the_o state_n in_o as_o much_o as_o they_o enforce_v the_o lord_n by_o these_o their_o sin_n to_o draw_v the_o sword_n against_o we_o to_o our_o utter_a ruin_n 30_o that_o our_o lord_n archbishop_n &_o bishop_n hold_v it_o lawful_a for_o our_o magistrate_n to_o maim_v or_o deform_v the_o church_n 31_o that_o they_o hold_v jesus_n christ_n to_o have_v leave_v behind_o he_o a_o unperfite_a and_o a_o maim_a church_n want_v some_o of_o her_o member_n 32_o that_o they_o hold_v it_o lawful_a for_o the_o magistrate_n to_o abolish_v the_o true_a and_o natural_a member_n of_o the_o body_n and_o to_o attempt_v the_o make_n of_o new_a by_o his_o own_o invention_n 33_o that_o they_o to_o wit_n archbishop_n and_o bishop_n be_v the_o maim_n of_o our_o church_n and_o like_a to_o be_v the_o destruction_n of_o our_o commonwealth_n 34_o that_o the_o warrant_n that_o the_o archbishop_n and_o bishop_n have_v for_o their_o place_n can_v be_v no_o better_o than_o the_o warrant_n which_o the_o maintenance_n of_o the_o open_a and_o most_o monstrous_a whoredom_n in_o the_o stew_n have_v in_o time_n pass_v amongst_o us._n for_o by_o the_o word_n
