worst_a of_o all_o and_o i_o like_o the_o business_n the_o better_a that_o what_o he_o understand_v least_o that_o he_o like_v worst_a it_o be_v that_o christ_n have_v give_v no_o direction_n for_o

after_o some_o canvas_n of_o this_o description_n our_o author_n tell_v we_o that_o he_o grant_v it_o to_o be_v the_o definition_n of_o a_o particular_a church_n which_o be_v more_o than_o i_o

according_a to_o the_o mind_n of_o christ_n unless_o there_o be_v more_o elder_n than_o one_o it_o there_o shall_v be_v elder_n in_o every_o church_n and_o for_o my_o part_n so_o we_o can_v once_o

of_o the_o unity_n of_o this_o church_n he_o take_v notice_n of_o three_o thing_n lay_v down_o by_o i_o previous_o to_o what_o i_o be_v far_a to_o assert_v all_o which_o he_o grant_v to_o be_v true_a but_o yet_o will_v not_o let_v they_o pass_v without_o his_o animadversion_n the_o two_o first_o be_v that_o 1._o a_o man_n may_v be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o catholic_n invisible_a church_n and_o 2_o of_o the_o visible_a catholic_n church_n and_o yet_o not_o be_v join_v to_o a_o particular_a church_n these_o as_o i_o say_v he_o own_v to_o be_v true_a but_o ask_v how_o i_o can_v reconcile_v this_o with_o what_o i_o say_v before_o namely_o that_o the_o member_n of_o the_o catholic_n visible_a church_n be_v initiate_v into_o the_o profession_n of_o the_o faith_n by_o baptism_n but_o where_o lie_v the_o difference_n why_o say_v he_o baptism_n according_a to_o his_o principle_n be_v a_o ordinance_n of_o worship_n only_o to_o be_v enjoy_v in_o a_o particular_a church_n whilst_o he_o will_v grant_v what_o yet_o he_o do_v deny_v but_o will_v be_v force_v to_o grant_v that_o a_o minister_n be_v a_o minister_n to_o more_o than_o his_o own_o church_n even_o to_o the_o catholic_n church_n and_o may_v administer_v baptism_n out_o of_o a_o particular_a church_n as_o philip_n do_v to_o the_o eunuch_n a._o how_o well_o this_o author_n be_v acquaint_v with_o my_o principle_n have_v be_v

as_o it_o be_v print_v of_o which_o i_o shall_v speak_v afterwards_o for_o the_o present_a he_o may_v be_v please_v to_o take_v notice_n that_o i_o be_o so_o far_o from_o confine_v baptism_n subjective_o to_o a_o particular_a congregation_n that_o i_o do_v not_o believe_v that_o any_o member_n of_o a_o particular_a church_n be_v ever_o regular_o baptise_v baptism_n precede_v admission_n into_o church_n membership_n as_o to_o a_o particular_a church_n the_o subject_a of_o it_o be_v profess_v believer_n and_o their_o seed_n as_o such_o they_o have_v right_a unto_o it_o whither_o they_o

that_o i_o deny_v a_o minister_n to_o be_v a_o minister_n to_o more_o than_o his_o own_o church_n or_o aver_v that_o he_o may_v perform_v ministerial_a duty_n only_o in_o and_o towards_o the_o member_n of_o his_o own_o congregation_n for_o so_o much_o as_o man_n be_v appoint_v the_o object_n of_o the_o dispensation_n of_o the_o word_n i_o grant_v a_o man_n in_o the_o dispensation_n of_o

may_v abide_v in_o doctrine_n and_o fellowship_n and_o break_n of_o bread_n and_o prayer_n but_o my_o reason_n whereby_o i_o prove_v this_o he_o say_v he_o like_v not_o so_o well_o and_o true_o i_o
