choose_v so_o be_v the_o deacon_n choose_v and_o hereto_o do_v those_o rule_n serve_v which_o s._n paul_n do_v give_v in_o his_o epistle_n write_v to_o timothy_n and_o to_o titus_n touch_v the_o admission_n of_o church_n minister_n you_o see_v now_o what_o the_o ordinary_a call_n be_v out_o of_o which_o we_o may_v easy_o gather_v what_o the_o extraordinary_a call_n or_o vocation_n be_v which_o have_v a_o authority_n from_o god_n be_v lawful_a notwithstanding_o that_o one_o or_o two_o point_n appertain_v to_o a_o ordinary_a call_n be_v want_v in_o it_o the_o lord_n have_v oftentimes_o use_v the_o service_n of_o man_n call_v to_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n by_o such_o a_o extraordinary_a call_n as_o appeareth_z by_o the_o holy_a scripture_n moses_n have_v no_o ordinary_a call_n by_o man_n jirmiah_n jonas_n have_v none_o daniel_n amos_n and_o diverse_a other_o of_o the_o prophet_n have_v no_o ordinary_a call_n by_o man_n and_o yet_o the_o lord_n god_n call_v these_o man_n &_o such_o like_a to_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n when_o they_o which_o keep_v the_o place_n of_o the_o ordinary_a call_n do_v abuse_v the_o same_o then_o i_o say_v than_o god_n use_v to_o lay_v to_o his_o hand_n extraordinary_o to_o the_o work_n which_o they_o that_o have_v their_o ordinary_a call_n do_v not_o only_o neglect_v but_o bring_v into_o ruin_n thus_o the_o lord_n god_n himself_o do_v and_o yet_o he_o do_v not_o bring_v any_o disorder_n or_o confusion_n into_o his_o house_n by_o this_o mean_a but_o thus_o do_v he_o to_o correct_v and_o reform_v that_o confusion_n &_o disorder_n which_o be_v bring_v into_o his_o house_n by_o they_o which_o under_o the_o colour_n of_o ordinary_a succession_n do_v overthrow_v all_o good_a order_n &_o pervert_v it_o this_o do_v the_o writing_n of_o the_o prophet_n witness_n in_o which_o the_o priest_n be_v chief_o reprove_v if_o you_o will_v say_v that_o the_o man_n who_o the_o lord_n do_v thus_o call_v extraordinary_o have_v yet_o some_o outward_a &_o miraculous_a testimony_n of_o this_o their_o heavenly_a call_n it_o be_v so_o in_o deed_n of_o some_o but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o in_o all_o i_o do_v not_o find_v that_o many_o of_o the_o prophet_n do_v come_v of_o the_o race_n of_o aaron_n nor_o that_o the_o ordinary_a imposition_n of_o hand_n be_v lay_v upon_o they_o nor_o that_o they_o testify_v their_o vocation_n and_o call_v by_o work_v strange_a sign_n and_o miracle_n if_o you_o will_v say_v that_o these_o prophet_n &_o teacher_n which_o have_v this_o extraordinary_a call_n do_v content_v themselves_o with_o that_o part_n of_o the_o church_n office_n which_o be_v to_o teach_v and_o to_o reproove_v but_o they_o do_v not_o meddle_v with_o the_o sacrifice_n this_o be_v not_o altogether_o true_a for_o samuel_n who_o be_v not_o of_o the_o stock_n of_o aaron_n 7._o 1._o sam._n 7._o do_v sacrifice_n in_o mizpah_n as_o it_o be_v write_v and_o eliah_n be_v a_o galaadite_n do_v sacrifice_n in_o carmel_n 18._o 1._o reg._n 18._o again_o it_o be_v no_o marvel_v if_o the_o prophet_n of_o that_o time_n do_v not_o extend_v their_o commission_n of_o their_o extraordinary_a call_n to_o circumcise_v and_o sacrifice_n for_o that_o be_v the_o charge_n and_o privilege_n then_o express_o commit_v to_o the_o stock_n of_o levi_n for_o that_o time_n thus_o you_o hear_v what_o be_v the_o church_n and_o what_o be_v the_o mark_n thereof_o and_o what_o be_v to_o be_v think_v of_o the_o vocation_n or_o call_v of_o the_o pastor_n and_o teacher_n of_o the_o church_n and_o thus_o do_v we_o at_o this_o present_n approve_v our_o christian_n church_n &_o the_o minister_n thereof_o by_o the_o rule_n of_o god_n word_n 160._o tom._n 4._o fol._n 160._o and_o in_o this_o behalf_n do_v that_o make_v for_o we_o which_o augustine_n write_v in_o his_o book_n of_o 65._o question_n and_o in_o the_o last_o question_n where_o he_o teach_v that_o we_o shall_v know_v that_o he_o be_v send_v of_o god_n who_o be_v not_o choose_v by_o the_o flattery_n of_o a_o few_o man_n but_o he_o who_o life_n good_a manner_n and_o the_o do_v of_o the_o apostolic_a priest_n do_v commend_v who_o seek_v not_o to_o be_v aloft_o but_o to_o be_v profitable_a to_o other_o church_n of_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n and_o speak_v a_o little_a thereof_o it_o do_v appear_v by_o that_o which_o be_v say_v before_o that_o we_o do_v not_o take_v away_o any_o thing_n of_o those_o high_a and_o glorious_a title_n which_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v give_v unto_o it_o we_o say_v that_o it_o be_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n but_o so_o that_o part_n thereof_o be_v yet_o in_o pilgrimage_n look_v for_o the_o full_a enjoy_n of_o the_o head_n jesus_n christ_n this_o be_v the_o house_n of_o god_n which_o he_o do_v daily_o build_v so_o that_o it_o grow_v still_o more_o and_o more_o it_o be_v govern_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n still_o fight_v against_o the_o flesh_n it_o be_v purify_v but_o so_o that_o it_o be_v by_o little_a and_o little_o bring_v towards_o that_o perfection_n of_o beauty_n in_o which_o be_v neither_o

be_v no_o salvation_n for_o life_n and_o salvation_n be_v not_o where_o else_o but_o in_o christ_n jesus_n alone_o and_o only_o neither_o do_v the_o lord_n jesus_n pour_v forth_o his_o quicken_a power_n &_o grace_n but_o only_o upon_o his_o own_o member_n the_o union_n and_o assemble_v of_o they_o together_o in_o their_o head_n jesus_n be_v call_v and_o be_v the_o true_a church_n of_o christ_n if_o you_o ask_v i_o whether_o this_o church_n be_v in_o this_o world_n can_v err_v and_o whether_o it_o be_v in_o authority_n above_o the_o holy_a scripture_n or_o else_o it_o be_v subject_n to_o the_o holy_a word_n of_o god_n err_v how_o the_o church_n may_v err_v to_o the_o first_o i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v out_o of_o doubt_n that_o the_o member_n of_o the_o church_n count_v each_o one_o by_o himself_o in_o particular_a may_v err_v and_o that_o there_o be_v of_o they_o which_o do_v err_v in_o doctrine_n &_o manner_n of_o life_n for_o they_o know_v but_o in_o part_n 13._o 1._o cor._n 13._o as_o s._n paul_n say_v and_o john_n say_v 1._o 1._o john_n 1._o if_o we_o do_v say_v that_o we_o have_v no_o sin_n we_o do_v deceive_v ourselves_o and_o in_o this_o number_n we_o may_v and_o do_v reckon_v the_o old_a doctor_n for_o many_o fault_n be_v to_o be_v find_v in_o they_o and_o therefore_o they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v receive_v in_o all_o thing_n without_o exception_n thus_o do_v we_o think_v of_o the_o member_n of_o the_o church_n in_o particular_a who_o imperfection_n do_v not_o so_o prevail_v but_o that_o of_o they_o knit_v together_o in_o truth_n be_v make_v a_o true_a church_n for_o they_o do_v by_o little_a and_o little_o grow_v and_o go_v forward_o in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o truth_n and_o holiness_n of_o life_n but_o if_o we_o will_v consider_v the_o part_n of_o the_o church_n more_o general_o as_o it_o be_v divide_v into_o diverse_a diocese_n and_o province_n we_o say_v plain_o that_o it_o may_v err_v lotha_n card._n lotha_n it_o be_v also_o confess_v by_o one_o of_o the_o chief_a captain_n stand_v for_o the_o pope_n his_o lord_n that_o particular_a church_n and_o provincial_a synod_n may_v err_v and_o have_v oftentimes_o err_v which_o thing_n long_a experience_n have_v prove_v true_a let_v we_o then_o consider_v the_o church_n in_o the_o universality_n thereof_o which_o be_v as_o some_o say_v consider_v in_o that_o it_o be_v in_o a_o general_a council_n represent_v there_o be_v no_o cause_n why_o we_o shall_v think_v that_o all_o the_o power_n and_o gift_n which_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v bestow_v upon_o the_o universal_a church_n shall_v be_v restrain_v to_o a_o certain_a number_n of_o prelate_n gather_v together_o in_o a_o general_a council_n which_o be_v not_o always_o the_o best_a learned_a
