A93888	An ansvver to a letter vvritten at Oxford, and superscribed to Dr. Samuel Turner, concerning the Church, and the revenues thereof. Wherein is shewed, how impossible it is for the King with a good conscience to yeeld to the change of church-government by bishops, or to the alienating the lands of the Church.	Steward, Richard, 1593?-1651.; J. T.; Turner, Samuel, D.D.	1647 (1647)	Wing S5516; Thomason E385_4; ESTC R201455	34,185	56

it_o and_o hence_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o though_o we_o shall_v yield_v that_o the_o apostle_n only_o do_v institute_v bishop_n yet_o in_o this_o revel._n christ_n himself_o immediate_o in_o his_o

pactise_v for_o more_o than_o 1500._o year_n space_n of_o all_o the_o christian_a church_n so_o that_o neither_o s._n hierome_n nor_o any_o other_o ancient_a do_v ever_o hold_v order_n to_o be_v

for_o the_o interpret_n of_o text_n then_o that_o very_o same_o mean_n whereby_o i_o know_v the_o text_n itself_o to_o be_v text_n sure_o the_o same_o course_n whereby_o i_o know_v the_o epistle_n to_o timothy_n and_o titus_n to_o have_v be_v write_v by_o s._n paul_n must_v needs_o be_v the_o best_a course_n to_o understand_v the_o sense_n of_o those_o epistle_n and_o if_o i_o therefore_o

be_v indeed_o the_o ground_n of_o our_o dictionary_n how_o shall_v we_o know_v that_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o signify_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o

there_o can_v be_v no_o baptism_n without_o a_o lawful_a minister_n which_o be_v good_a divinity_n among_o our_o new_a master_n in_o scotland_n and_o antiquity_n allow_v of_o it_o extra_fw-la

28._o go_v teach_v all_o nation_n and_o baptise_v they_o but_o in_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o eucharist_n he_o speak_v those_o word_n too_o but_o only_o to_o the_o twelve_o drink_v you_o all_o of_o this_o matth._n 26._o i_o demand_v then_o how_o shall_v i_o know_v that_o when_o our_o saviour_n speak_v those_o word_n unto_o the_o eleven_o he_o speak_v they_o only_o as_o to_o lawful_a

cor._n 11._o and_o i_o think_v so_o too_o where_o s._n paul_n seem_v to_o chide_v the_o whole_a church_n for_o their_o irreverence_n at_o that_o great_a sacrament_n but_o if_o a_o quarreler_n shall_v reply_v that_o he_o there_o speak_v but_o of_o the_o presbyter_n alone_o whereof_o many_o be_v at_o that_o time_n at_o corinth_n as_o when_o in_o the_o 5._o chap._n he_o seem_v to_o chide_v the_o whole_a church_n for_o not_o excommunicate_v the_o incestuous_a person_n yet_o it_o be_v plain_a he_o mean_v none_o but_o the_o man_n in_o government_n as_o sure_o all_o presbyterian_n will_v allow_v i_o i_o know_v not_o what_o can_v be_v say_v but_o to_o make_v it_o appear_v out_o of_o the_o father_n and_o other_o that_o the_o whole_a christian_a church_n never_o take_v the_o word_n in_o that_o sense_n and_o if_o to_o stop_v the_o mouth_n of_o wrangler_n we_o must_v at_o length_n be_v constrain_v to_o quote_v the_o authority_n of_o universal_a consent_n and_o the_o common_a practice_n of_o christ_n church_n than_o you_o will_v easy_o see_v that_o those_o two_o name_v proposition_n do_v stand_v fast_o on_o the_o same_o bottom_n there_o can_v be_v no_o baptism_n without_o a_o lawful_a

true_a there_o can_v be_v no_o ordination_n without_o the_o hand_n of_o a_o bishop_n for_o so_o those_o text_n both_o out_o of_o timothy_n and_o titus_n have_v be_v understand_v and_o practise_v for_o 1500._o year_n together_o by_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n of_o christ_n it_o be_v true_a that_o this_o precept_n go_v you_o teach_v etc._n etc._n run_v not_o in_o exclusive_a word_n

of_o christ_n or_o of_o his_o apostle_n from_o they_o then_o must_v needs_o flow_v the_o episcopal_a order_n and_o at_o that_o fountain_n i_o shall_v leave_v it_o i_o say_v within_o the_o reach_n of_o

fear_v that_o if_o i_o shall_v perhaps_o dissent_v in_o opinion_n from_o this_o epistler_n i_o may_v be_v think_v at_o least_o in_o his_o conceit_n to_o incur_v a_o sharp_a censure_n both_o in_o point_n of_o reason_n and_o honesty_n which_o i_o confess_v at_o first_o somewhat_o trouble_v i_o until_o i_o remember_v you_o be_v wont_a to_o say_v that_o when_o vessel_n do_v once_o make_v such_o

agree_v in_o this_o that_o we_o must_v not_o commit_v sin_n for_o a_o good_a end_n so_o that_o if_o peace_n itself_o can_v be_v attain_v without_o that_o guilt_n we_o must_v be_v content_a with_o a_o

the_o very_a face_n of_o a_o prophet_n i_o have_v keep_v the_o commandment_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o yet_o his_o sin_n remain_v still_o a_o great_a sin_n and_o much_o the_o worse_a because_o he_o

to_o grow_v up_o into_o that_o more_o wicked_a height_n of_o a_o scandal_n and_o so_o it_o be_v not_o only_o a_o snare_n to_o the_o sinner_n himself_o but_o it_o warrant_v many_o more_o to_o be_v

they_o above_o call_v evil_a counsellor_n and_o 2._o the_o business_n of_o the_o church_n 1._o for_o the_o king_n friend_n he_o say_v i_o know_v not_o how_o you_o can_v with_o reason_n gainsay_v the_o

with_o the_o ancient_a time_n as_o that_o the_o bishop_n have_v no_o power_n but_o what_o be_v mere_o directive_n only_o that_o all_o power_n coactive_a either_o in_o they_o or_o in_o other_o be_v derive_v mere_o from_o the_o royal_a authority_n that_o they_o can_v legal_o make_v use_n no_o not_o so_o much_o as_o of_o this_o directive_n power_n but_o only_o by_o the_o king_n leave_n so_o that_o if_o the_o temporal_a law_n shall_v forbid_v they_o to_o preach_v that_o which_o in_o point_n of_o salvation_n be_v necessary_a to_o be_v speak_v yet_o they_o can_v preach_v but_o upon_o the_o

in_o the_o execution_n of_o all_o ecclesiastical_a power_n the_o supremacy_n be_v in_o the_o king_n alone_o these_o i_o say_v be_v so_o much_o the_o tenet_n of_o our_o church_n that_o i_o conceive_v there_o be_v no_o learned_a man_n among_o we_o who_o will_v not_o ready_o subscribe_v to_o they_o i_o can_v see_v at_o all_o where_o in_o the_o opinion_n we_o defend_v any_o danger_n lie_v to_o this_o

in_o the_o scotish_a sense_n which_o allow_v no_o appeal_n to_o any_o other_o power_n and_o then_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o where_o man_n admit_v this_o they_o admit_v of_o a_o supremacy_n which_o do_v not_o reside_v in_o the_o king_n and_o by_o consequent_a of_o two_o several_a supremacy_n within_o the_o bound_n of_o the_o self_n same_o kingdom_n which_o can_v no_o more_o stand_v with_o

otherwise_o so_o that_o king_n james_n his_o maxim_n be_v undoubted_o most_o true_a upon_o this_o same_o ground_n we_o be_v on_o no_o bishop_n no_o king_n for_o that_o most_o prudent_a prince_n do_v soon_o discern_v that_o if_o a_o power_n be_v once_o set_v up_o which_o at_o least_o in_o the_o legal_a execution_n of_o it_o do_v not_o derive_v itself_o from_o the_o king_n there_o be_v no_o doubt_n to_o be_v make_v but_o it_o will_v ere_o long_o destroy_v the_o very_a king_n himself_o or_o consider_v presbyterian_a government_n in_o the_o english_a sense_n as_o it_o be_v now_o set_v up_o by_o the_o two_o house_n at_o westminster_n which_o be_v a_o government_n limit_v by_o a_o appeal_n to_o the_o parliament_n for_o either_o by_o parliament_n here_o they_o mean_v the_o two_o house_n exclude_v the_o king_n and_o then_o it_o be_v as_o plain_a as_o before_o they_o set_v up_o two_o supremacy_n his_o majesty_n and_o their_o own_o or_o else_o by_o parliament_n they_o mean_v the_o king_n with_o both_o house_n and_o then_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o either_o there_o must_v be_v a_o perpetual_a parliament_n which_o sure_o neither_o king_n nor_o kingdom_n can_v have_v cause_n to_o like_v or_o else_o the_o supremacy_n will_v be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n in_o the_o presbytery_n because_o when_o ever_o a_o parliament_n sit_v not_o there_o will_v be_v no_o judge_n to_o

the_o king_n have_v no_o negative_a and_o in_o that_o case_n it_o be_v clear_a that_o the_o ecclesiastical_a supremacy_n will_v be_v not_o at_o all_o in_o the_o king_n or_o else_o the_o king_n have_v
