A76085	The second part of that book call'd Independency not Gods ordinance: or the post-script, discovering the uncharitable dealing of the Independents towards their Christian brethren, with the jugglings of many of their pastors and ministers, to the misleading of the poor people to the detriment of their own souls, and the hurt both of church and state, with the danger of novelties in religion; proving that Independency, is one of the most dangerous sects, that ever appeared in the world, since mortality inhabited the earth. In the which also there is a satisfactory answer given to the principall cavils of him that writ that railing pamphlet, stil'd The falshood of Mr Will. Prynnes Triumphing in the antiquity of popish princes and parliaments. With Doctor Bastvvicks just defence against some calumnies in way of preface. / By John Bastvvick, Dr in Physick.; Independency not Gods ordinance.

apostle_n from_o visit_v one_o another_o for_o if_o there_o have_v be_v but_o one_o congregation_n then_o of_o necessity_n paul_n and_o the_o other_o apostle_n shall_v have_v meet_v there_o in_o so_o long_a a_o space_n and_o therefore_o it_o stand_v with_o all_o reason_n that_o there_o be_v many_o congregation_n of_o believer_n in_o jerusalem_n if_o we_o have_v no_o testimony_n of_o holy_a

in_o jerusalem_n i_o speak_v within_o compass_n and_o common_a understanding_n dictate_v that_o there_o be_v some_o hundred_o of_o assemble_v place_n where_o there_o be_v so_o many_o hundred_o thousand_o people_n and_o such_o multitude_n of_o teacher_n and_o in_o those_o synagogue_n the_o people_n meet_v together_o to_o hear_v the_o law_n and_o prophet_n both_o read_v and_o interpret_v unto_o they_o and_o the_o synagogue_n both_o in_o jerusalem_n and_o through_o all_o judea_n and_o palestine_n be_v the_o place_n of_o the_o moral_a worship_n as_o the_o temple_n be_v the_o principal_a place_n of_o the_o cerimoniall_a service_n and_o as_o here_o in_o london_n paul_n be_v the_o place_n where_o after_o the_o jewish_a or_o rather_o heathenish_a fashion_n and_o manner_n they_o have_v their_o ceremonial_a employment_n which_o consist_v in_o outward_a performance_n as_o crouching_n and_o cringing_n caping_n and_o kneeing_n pipe_v and_o toot_v in_o pope_n surplice_n and_o their_o

christian-beholder_n think_v themselves_o rather_o in_o the_o school_n of_o numa_n pompilius_n or_o in_o the_o college_n of_o the_o old_a roman_a priest_n then_o conversant_a in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n so_o the_o other_o church_n through_o the_o city_n be_v the_o place_n where_o the_o moral_a worship_n be_v chief_o exercise_v as_o the_o read_n preach_v and_o hear_v of_o the_o word_n catechise_v exhortation_n admonition_n prayer_n thanksgiving_n etc._n etc._n so_o after_o the_o same_o manner_n it_o be_v in_o jerusalem_n the_o temple_n be_v the_o principle_n place_n of_o the_o

and_o it_o follow_v of_o necessity_n that_o there_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o very_a great_a number_n of_o synagogue_n in_o jerusalem_n where_o there_o be_v many_o hundred_o thousand_o people_n and_o such_o multitude_n of_o rabbi_n and_o doctor_n and_o such_o a_o number_n of_o priest_n levite_n scribe_n pharisee_n and_o lawyer_n all_o interpreter_n of_o the_o law_n and_o such_o as_o sit_v in_o

they_o in_o lieu_n of_o that_o and_o the_o people_n come_v more_o abundant_o unto_o those_o assembly_n even_o so_o whereas_o before_o the_o come_n of_o john_n the_o baptist_n and_o of_o our_o bless_a

and_o the_o prophet_n the_o glad_a tiding_n of_o peace_n be_v preach_v by_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n and_o the_o other_o primative_a christian_a miinister_n and_o by_o many_o of_o the_o priest_n that_o embrace_v the_o faith_n and_o that_o in_o all_o their_o synagogue_n every_o sabbath_n day_n especial_o where_o the_o people_n upon_o all_o occasion_n in_o great_a multitude_n meet_v together_o for_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n suffer_v violence_n and_o the_o violent_a take_v it_o by_o force_n now_o to_o any_o man_n that_o will_v not_o resolve_v to_o shut_v his_o eye_n and_o refuse_v to_o see_v the_o sunshine_n of_o the_o truth_n it_o may_v appear_v that_o all_o the_o synagogue_n in_o jerusalem_n as_o in_o all_o other_o city_n after_o the_o christian_a religion_n be_v so_o general_o embrace_v and_o the_o jew_n be_v turn_v christian_n be_v the_o place_n where_o they_o still_o continue_v to_o meet_v in_o to_o hear_v the_o gospel_n as_o former_o they_o have_v do_v to_o hear_v the_o law_n and_o there_o be_v many_o testimony_n out_o of_o holy_a scripture_n to_o prove_v this_o assertion_n neither_o can_v we_o in_o charity_n think_v that_o they_o be_v make_v christian_n be_v less_o zealous_a to_o hear_v the_o gospel_n than_o they_o be_v to_o hear_v the_o law_n yea_o their_o diligence_n in_o that_o good_a work_n be_v often_o mention_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n to_o their_o praise_n and_o honour_n as_o that_o they_o meet_v daily_o in_o the_o temple_n and_o in_o every_o house_n to_o hear_v the_o word_n and_o to_o partake_v in_o all_o the_o ordinance_n and_o it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o paul_n into_o what_o city_n soever_o he_o come_v be_v as_o diligent_a in_o preach_v as_o the_o people_n in_o hear_v now_o when_o he_o remain_v in_o jerusalem_n fifteen_o day_n he_o will_v not_o be_v idle_a and_o it_o be_v to_o be_v believe_v that_o the_o other_o apostle_n be_v as_o diligent_a in_o their_o several_a ministry_n as_o paul_n be_v as_o i_o say_v before_o so_o that_o their_o much_o employment_n without_o doubt_n be_v the_o only_a cause_n that_o hinder_v the_o apostle_n from_o come_v unto_o he_o and_o retard_v paul_n from_o salute_v of_o they_o for_o we_o may_v not_o conceive_v that_o so_o famous_a a_o apostle_n as_o paul_n be_v can_v lie_v hide_v in_o jerusalem_n or_o be_v unknown_a so_o long_o from_o the_o other_o apostle_n neither_o in_o charity_n may_v we_o think_v that_o there_o be_v any_o love_n want_v either_o in_o paul_n towards_o they_o or_o in_o the_o apostle_n towards_o paul_n but_o we_o most_o impute_v their_o not_o visit_v of_o each_o other_o to_o the_o multiplicity_n of_o their_o employment_n that_o so_o hinder_v they_o that_o they_o can_v not_o find_v convenient_a time_n each_o to_o see_v other_o so_o that_o by_o this_o i_o have_v now_o say_v it_o be_v evident_a to_o any_o rational_a man_n that_o there_o be_v more_o christian_n and_o believer_n in_o the_o church_n of_o jerusalem_n then_o either_o can_v or_o do_v meet_v together_o in_o one_o place_n for_o all_o act_n of_o worship_n for_o they_o meet_v every_o sabbath_n day_n together_o in_o their_o synagogue_n to_o hear_v moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n read_v and_o interpret_v as_o the_o scripture_n affirm_v yea_o from_o house_n to_o house_n daily_o and_o therefore_o we_o may_v easy_o gather_v that_o as_o many_o synagogue_n and_o meet_v place_n as_o there_o be_v in_o jerusalem_n to_o say_v nothing_o of_o the_o temple_n so_o many_o church_n and_o congregation_n of_o believer_n there_o be_v in_o jerusalem_n for_o synagogue_n and_o church_n be_v all_o one_o in_o god_n dialect_n and_o they_o that_o be_v jew_n before_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v now_o make_v christian_n and_o believer_n neither_o have_v the_o christian_n and_o believe_a jew_n any_o cause_n to_o separate_v themselves_o from_o the_o congregation_n for_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o their_o synagogue_n to_o scruple_n they_o without_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n shall_v offend_v they_o and_o that_o the_o scripture_n testify_v they_o be_v very_o zealous_a of_o and_o many_o of_o they_o that_o be_v convert_v persuade_v the_o gentile_n after_o their_o conversion_n and_o illumination_n to_o join_v the_o ceremonial_a law_n to_o the_o gospel_n which_o although_o it_o be_v not_o permit_v unto_o they_o yet_o for_o a_o time_n it_o be_v connive_v at_o and_o tolerate_v in_o the_o weak_a jew_n yea_o in_o the_o ten_o of_o the_o hebrew_n the_o christian_n be_v blame_v for_o forsake_v of_o the_o assemble_v of_o themselves_o together_o and_o it_o be_v count_v a_o fault_n in_o they_o and_o therefore_o it_o may_v without_o any_o error_n be_v conclude_v that_o there_o be_v as_o many_o if_o not_o more_o assembly_n and_o synagogue_n of_o believer_n

in_o jerusalem_n after_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o in_o the_o apostle_n time_n as_o be_v before_o of_o the_o jew_n for_o they_o after_o they_o be_v christian_n continue_v still_o to_o assemble_v themselves_o if_o not_o daily_o every_o sabbath_n day_n at_o least_o in_o their_o synagogue_n as_o they_o be_v wont_a to_o do_v where_o the_o apostle_n be_v all_o so_o take_v up_o in_o preach_v as_o they_o have_v no_o leisure_n for_o reciprocal_a salutation_n and_o therefore_o of_o necessity_n there_o be_v more_o congregation_n in_o the_o church_n of_o jerusalem_n and_o a_o great_a multitude_n of_o christian_n they_o can_v all_o meet_v in_o any_o one_o or_o a_o few_o place_n even_o as_o it_o be_v here_o in_o england_n in_o king_n edward_n and_o queen_n elizabeth_n day_n as_o i_o specify_v before_o there_o be_v no_o few_o congregation_n and_o assembly_n of_o protestant_n in_o london_n then_o be_v before_o of_o papist_n for_o as_o many_o parish_n church_n as_o there_o be_v in_o the_o city_n of_o london_n so_o many_o several_a congregation_n of_o protestant_n there_o be_v then_o through_o the_o city_n and_o they_o that_o profess_a popery_n before_o do_v now_o embrace_v the_o protestant_a religion_n and_o make_v so_o many_o congregation_n and_o several_a church_n of_o protestant_n as_o there_o be_v congregation_n of_o papist_n fore_o and_o as_o it_o will_v be_v account_v great_a absurdity_n yea_o a_o ridiculous_a thing_n in_o any_o man_n to_o affirm_v that_o there_o be_v but_o as_o many_o protestant_n in_o london_n in_o king_n edward_n his_o time_n or_o in_o queen_n elizabeth_n day_n as_o can_v all_o meet_v in_o one_o place_n or_o in_o one_o congregation_n so_o to_o any_o understanding_n and_o intelligible_a man_n it_o be_v as_o absurd_a to_o conclude_v that_o there_o be_v no_o more_o christian_n and_o believer_n in_o jerusalem_n then_o can_v all_o meet_v in_o one_o place_n and_o congregation_n when_o the_o scripture_n itself_o affirm_v that_o all_o jerusalem_n be_v turn_v christian_n and_o have_v their_o meeting_n and_o assembly_n in_o the_o temple_n and_o in_o every_o house_n and_o that_o there_o be_v many_o assembly_n there_o and_o it_o stand_v with_o all_o reason_n that_o if_o there_o have_v be_v but_o one_o congregation_n of_o believer_n in_o jerusalem_n when_o paul_n go_v to_o visit_v peter_n that_o then_o he_o of_o necessity_n shall_v have_v see_v some_o at_o least_o of_o the_o other_o apostle_n beside_o peter_n and_o james_n for_o without_o doubt_n paul_n be_v daily_o among_o the_o christian_n a_o preach_v to_o they_o in_o their_o synagogue_n or_o meet_v place_n and_o the_o other_o apostle_n also_o who_o duty_n it_o be_v to_o be_v continual_o take_v up_o in_o pray_v and_o preach_v among_o they_o will_v not_o so_o long_a a_o time_n have_v lie_v idle_a and_o private_a but_o in_o that_o neither_o paul_n see_v they_o not_o the_o apostle_n paul_n it_o be_v a_o sufficient_a argument_n to_o prove_v there_o be_v many_o congregation_n and_o assembly_n of_o believer_n in_o jerusalem_n which_o so_o employ_v they_o all_o in_o their_o several_a ministery_n as_o they_o have_v no_o time_n for_o mutual_a visit_n and_o that_o be_v the_o only_a cause_n that_o hinder_v they_o from_o salute_v one_o another_o so_o that_o i_o conceive_v by_o that_o which_o i_o have_v now_o say_v all_o understand_a man_n will_v gather_v that_o there_o be_v more_o congregation_n of_o believer_n in_o the_o church_n of_o jerusalem_n then_o one_o and_o that_o all_o these_o several_a assembly_n make_v but_o one_o church_n and_o be_v all_o govern_v by_o the_o joint_a consent_n and_o common_a council_n of_o one_o presbytery_n whatsoever_o the_o independent_a minister_n persuade_v the_o poor_a delude_a people_n to_o the_o contrary_a for_o the_o uphold_v of_o their_o imaginary_a presbyterian_a government_n which_o be_v against_o all_o scripture_n antiquity_n reason_n and_o ordinary_a sense_n and_o therefore_o i_o may_v bold_o assert_v in_o their_o deal_n with_o their_o several_a congregation_n when_o they_o set_v before_o they_o their_o church_n of_o jerusalem_n ephesus_n etc._n etc._n as_o consist_v of_o but_o one_o congregation_n and_o assembly_n a_o piece_n they_o juggle_v with_o they_o for_o no_o other_o end_n but_o to_o make_v themselves_o lord_n and_o master_n of_o they_o and_o to_o get_v the_o sovereignty_n in_o time_n over_o the_o people_n into_o their_o own_o hand_n while_o they_o will_v seem_v to_o be_v their_o servant_n and_o therefore_o it_o high_o concern_v all_o man_n that_o desire_v the_o peace_n and_o welfare_n of_o church_n and_o state_n due_o to_o weigh_v and_o serious_o to_o consider_v the_o danger_n of_o schism_n and_o rent_n in_o either_o which_o ought_v to_o move_v they_o to_o study_v by_o all_o mean_n how_o rather_o they_o make_v up_o the_o breach_n already_o make_v and_o how_o now_o to_o unite_v themselves_o together_o in_o love_n and_o unity_n against_o the_o common_a enemy_n of_o they_o both_o then_o to_o follow_v such_o blind_a leader_n and_o guide_n as_o by_o their_o faction_n and_o fraction_n will_v bring_v we_o all_o into_o the_o pit_n of_o destruction_n and_o expose_v
