ask_v what_o better_a way_n there_o can_v be_v for_o interpret_n text_n than_o that_o very_o same_o mean_n whereby_o i_o know_v text_n to_o be_v text_n to_o wit_n the_o consent_n of_o the_o church_n shall_v i_o believe_v and_o yet_o disbelieve_v that_o selfsame_a consent_n which_o be_v the_o best_a ground_n of_o my_o belief_n this_o be_v as_o it_o be_v to_o say_v that_o i_o believe_v such_o a_o tale_n for_o the_o author_n sake_n who_o have_v tell_v it_o and_o yet_o now_o i_o do_v hold_v the_o selfsame_a man_n to_o be_v a_o lyar._n man_n do_v believe_v the_o testimony_n of_o universal_a consent_n in_o the_o sense_n it_o give_v of_o singular_a term_n and_o why_o not_o in_o the_o sense_n it_o give_v of_o sentence_n and_o proposition_n without_o the_o help_n of_o this_o consent_n which_o indeed_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o our_o dictionary_n how_o shall_v we_o know_v that_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d signify_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n which_o the_o socinian_o at_o this_o day_n deny_v and_o i_o know_v no_o such_o way_n to_o confute_v their_o error_n as_o by_o the_o authority_n of_o this_o consent_n admit_v then_o of_o that_o rule_n that_o consent_v universal_a be_v the_o best_a interpreter_n of_o the_o text_n and_o then_o i_o be_o sure_a that_o it_o be_v as_o clear_a as_o true_a that_o episcopacy_n be_v of_o divine_a or_o apostolical_a right_n and_o that_o proposition_n there_o can_v be_v no_o ordination_n without_o the_o hand_n of_o a_o bishop_n will_v clear_o appear_v to_o be_v as_o well_o ground_v as_o this_o there_o can_v be_v no_o baptism_n without_o a_o lawful_a minister_n which_o yet_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 it_o extra_n casum_fw-la necessitatis_fw-la for_o i_o ask_v upon_o what_o text_n do_v they_o ground_v this_o rule_n i_o suppose_v they_o will_v say_v upon_o our_o saviour_n word_n 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 etc._n etc._n mat._n 26._o i_o demand_v then_o how_o shall_v we_o know_v that_o when_o our_o saviour_n speak_v those_o word_n to_o the_o eleven_o he_o speak_v they_o only_o as_o to_o lawful_a minister_n but_o when_o he_o speak_v the_o other_o to_o the_o twelve_o he_o speak_v they_o at_o large_a as_o to_o they_o that_o do_v represent_v all_o christian_a man_n so_o that_o though_o only_a minister_n may_v baptise_v yet_o all_o christian_n may_v receive_v the_o cup_n perhaps_o they_o will_v say_v that_o this_o general_a receive_v the_o cup_n be_v manifest_a from_o the_o 1_o cor._n 11._o and_o i_o think_v so_o too_o where_o st._n paul_n seem_v to_o chide_v the_o whole_a church_n for_o their_o irreverence_n at_o the_o sacrament_n but_o if_o a_o quarrel_n shall_v reply_v that_o he_o there_o speak_v but_o of_o the_o presbytery_n only_o whereof_o many_o be_v at_o that_o time_n at_o corinth_n as_o when_o in_o chap._n 5._o 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 that_o he_o mean_v none_o but_o the_o man_n in_o government_n as_o sure_o all_o presbyterian_o 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 the_o contentious_a we_o must_v be_v constrain_v to_o quote_v the_o authority_n of_o universal_a consent_n and_o of_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 proposition_n name_v 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 minister_n extra_fw-la casum_fw-la necessitatis_fw-la for_o so_o the_o practice_n and_o consent_v of_o universal_a church_n have_v still_o interpret_v that_o text._n and_o again_o it_o be_v 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 out_o of_o timothy_n and_o titus_n have_v be_v understand_v and_o practise_v for_o one_o thousand_o five_o hundred_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 of_o christ_n go_v you_o teach_v all_o nation_n and_o baptize_v they_o run_v not_o in_o exclusive_a word_n you_o apostle_n or_o you_o lawful_a minister_n and_o none_o else_o yet_o extra_fw-la casum_fw-la necessitatis_fw-la none_o be_v allow_v but_o a_o lawful_a minister_n so_o that_o though_o those_o command_n lay_v hand_n sudden_o on_o no_o man_n and_o do_v

a_o bishop_n nay_o that_o there_o be_v something_o divine_a in_o the_o episcopal_a order_n will_v appear_v clear_o by_o this_o that_o immediate_o from_o the_o time_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n yea_o within_o the_o reach_n of_o those_o time_n it_o be_v universal_o spread_v throughout_o the_o whole_a church_n so_o that_o no_o man_n can_v name_v a_o nation_n that_o be_v once_o convert_v to_o the_o christian_a faith_n but_o he_o shall_v soon_o find_v there_o be_v bishop_n so_o that_o there_o must_v needs_o have_v be_v a_o universal_a cause_n for_o a_o effect_n that_o be_v so_o universal_a general_n council_n there_o be_v none_o about_o it_o at_o which_o all_o christian_n may_v have_v meet_v and_o may_v thence_o have_v obey_v their_o direction_n nor_o can_v any_o name_n a_o power_n to_o which_o all_o christian_n will_v submit_v for_o they_o be_v soon_o fall_v into_o faction_n but_o either_o the_o authority_n of_o christ_n or_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 the_o apostle_n time_n for_o before_o st._n john_n die_v there_o be_v upon_o good_a church_n record_v above_o twenty-eight_a bishop_n appoint_v to_o their_o several_a see_v as_o at_o jerusalem_n alexandria_n antioch_n rome_n ephesus_n crete_n athens_n

plain_a how_o great_a a_o corruption_n nay_o how_o flat_o a_o sin_n be_v bring_v into_o christ_n church_n when_o episcopacy_n be_v throw_v down_o and_o so_o where_o ordination_n be_v perform_v by_o any_o hand_n without_o they_o it_o be_v as_o gross_a as_o if_o the_o layman_n shall_v be_v allow_v to_o baptize_v where_o a_o presbyter_n stand_v by_o nay_o more_o it_o be_v as_o bad_a as_o if_o the_o order_n of_o presbytery_n shall_v be_v throw_v down_o that_o layman_n may_v baptise_v what_o be_v this_o but_o wilful_o to_o run_v into_o necessity_n which_o may_v thence_o create_v a_o apology_n it_o be_v a_o corruption_n far_o worse_o than_o if_o a_o church_n shall_v audacious_o attempt_v to_o put_v down_o the_o lord_n day_n since_o the_o observation_n of_o that_o time_n be_v neither_o build_v on_o so_o clear_a a_o text_n nor_o on_o the_o help_n of_o so_o universal_a consent_n as_o be_v the_o order_n of_o episcopacy_n so_o that_o if_o man_n can_v think_v it_o sinful_a to_o part_v with_o the_o lord_n day_n though_o the_o institution_n of_o it_o be_v mere_o apostolical_a they_o must_v needs_o confess_v that_o there_o be_v at_o least_o as_o much_o sin_n nay_o indeed_o more_o in_o part_v with_o their_o bishop_n and_o then_o the_o oxford_n doctrine_n he_o abuse_v and_o talk_v of_o as_o transmit_v for_o orthodox_n truth_n will_v it_o seem_v prove_v no_o less_o in_o earnest_n second_o for_o the_o point_n of_o sacrilege_n and_o the_o better_a to_o clear_v this_o i_o must_v premise_v these_o direction_n 1._o that_o god_n accept_v of_o thing_n give_v he_o and_o so_o hold_v a_o propriety_n as_o well_o in_o the_o new_a as_o old_a testament_n 2._o that_o god_n get_v that_o propriety_n in_o those_o thing_n he_o hold_v as_o well_o by_o a_o acceptation_n of_o what_o be_v voluntary_o give_v as_o by_o a_o command_n that_o such_o thing_n shall_v be_v present_v unto_o he_o 3._o to_o invade_v those_o thing_n be_v they_o movable_a or_o unmovable_a be_v express_o the_o sin_n of_o sacrilege_n 4._o that_o this_o sin_n be_v not_o only_o against_o god_n positive_a but_o plain_o against_o the_o moral-law_n for_o the_o
