A29750	The history of the indulgence shewing its rise, conveyance, progress, and acceptance : together with a demonstration of the unlawfulness thereof and an answere to contrary objections : as also, a vindication of such as scruple to hear the indulged / by a Presbyterian.	Brown, John, 1610?-1679.	1678 (1678)	Wing B5029; ESTC R12562	180,971	159

multitude_n of_o the_o nonconform_a minister_n be_v eject_v and_o castout_a of_o their_o place_n and_o congregation_n because_o they_o will_v not_o acknowledge_v the_o power_n and_o interest_n of_o patron_n nor_o accept_v of_o their_o presentation_n unto_o flock_n but_o in_o this_o indulgence_n as_o we_o see_v above_o the_o interest_n of_o patron_n be_v reserve_v entire_a though_o they_o shall_v say_v that_o they_o seek_v no_o presentation_n from_o patron_n nor_o have_v they_o any_o active_a hand_n therein_o it_o will_v not_o much_o avail_n for_o even_o several_a of_o the_o eject_v minister_n may_v have_v be_v free_a of_o ejection_n if_o they_o can_v in_o conscience_n have_v yield_v to_o so_o much_o and_o acquiesce_v in_o this_o that_o the_o patron_n shall_v have_v signify_v to_o the_o bishop_n his_o present_v of_o such_o a_o person_n and_o that_o without_o his_o express_a consent_n or_o formal_a acceptance_n thereof_o yea_o how_o many_o have_v the_o presentation_n willing_o and_o cheerful_o offer_v unto_o they_o undesired_a 3._o it_o be_v the_o chief_a corner_n stone_n of_o our_o reformation_n and_o the_o fundamental_a point_n whereupon_o all_o the_o wrestle_n and_o suffering_n of_o our_o church_n from_o the_o beginning_n have_v be_v state_v viz._n that_o christ_n be_v the_o alone_a head_n of_o the_o church_n but_o by_o the_o indulgence_n another_o head_n be_v acknowledge_v beside_o he_o when_o thereby_o it_o be_v declare_v that_o the_o indulge_v hold_v not_o their_o ministry_n of_o christ_n alone_o as_o we_o see_v above_o on_o the_o first_o head_n and_o first_o particular_a thereof_o 4._o so_o by_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o particular_n mention_v under_o that_o head_n we_o see_v how_o many_o way_n there_o be_v in_o this_o indulgence_n a_o defection_n from_o former_a principle_n and_o a_o fall_n off_o from_o our_o ground_n all_o which_o we_o need_v not_o here_o repeat_v 5._o we_o fall_v from_o our_o principle_n and_o from_o the_o cause_n upon_o which_o our_o suffering_n be_v state_v when_o we_o cede_fw-la and_o yield_v to_o adversary_n seek_v to_o overthrow_v the_o pillar_n and_o ground_n of_o presbyterian_a government_n and_o in_o how_o many_o particular_n presbyterian_a principle_n be_v by_o this_o indulgence_n recede_v from_o we_o have_v see_v above_o in_o the_o 2_o head_n 6._o it_o have_v be_v the_o lot_n of_o the_o church_n of_o scotland_n from_o the_o very_a beginning_n to_o be_v put_v to_o wrestle_v against_o the_o power_n of_o the_o earth_n encroach_a upon_o the_o prerogative_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o the_o privilege_n of_o his_o church_n and_o in_o contend_v for_o the_o same_o against_o all_o such_o usurpation_n do_v the_o faithfulness_n and_o steadfastness_n of_o our_o worthy_a &_o renown_a predecessor_n appear_v and_o shine_v forth_o and_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o their_o faithful_a adhere_n to_o the_o truth_n and_o bear_v witness_n against_o all_o usurpation_n make_v upon_o the_o right_n of_o the_o church_n and_o on_o the_o jurisdiction_n of_o christ_n sole_a king_n of_o zion_n and_o for_o decline_a judicatory_n act_v by_o usurp_a authority_n be_v they_o all_o along_v put_v to_o suffer_v in_o

manifest_a from_o the_o particular_n mention_v under_o the_o 3._o and_o 5._o head_n 7._o we_o need_v not_o forget_v what_o be_v one_o main_a ground_n of_o the_o act_n of_o our_o worthy_a and_o valiant_a predecessor_n in_o the_o year_n 1637_o and_o 1638._o viz._n that_o ecclesiastic_a cause_n shall_v be_v determine_v by_o lawful_a ecclesiastic_a judicatories_n and_o civil_a cause_n by_o parliament_n and_o other_o civil_a judicatories_n but_o to_o homologate_v a_o power_n in_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n as_o such_o to_o cognosce_fw-la upon_o and_o judge_v in_o church_n affair_n immediate_o and_o formal_o be_v to_o condemn_v all_o these_o act_n and_o all_o the_o act_n of_o church_n and_o state_n since_o upon_o that_o ground_n and_o a_o plain_a relinquish_a of_o that_o foundation_n and_o that_o by_o the_o accept_n of_o the_o indulgence_n such_o a_o power_n be_v acknowledge_v to_o be_v competent_a to_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n as_o such_o have_v be_v manifest_v above_o in_o several_a particular_n let_v we_o here_o but_o name_n that_o one_o instance_n of_o the_o council_n sole_a judge_v of_o the_o fitness_n and_o qualification_n of_o a_o person_n for_o such_o

will_v be_v say_v no_o man_n needs_o question_v their_o ability_n some_o have_v be_v minister_n in_o the_o most_o eminent_a place_n of_o the_o kingdom_n for_o answer_v i_o shall_v not_o question_v their_o ability_n though_o it_o may_v be_v the_o carriage_n of_o some_o of_o they_o have_v be_v such_o since_o this_o defection_n begin_v as_o will_v make_v a_o conscientious_a church-judicatory_a not_o a_o little_a averse_a from_o admit_v of_o they_o within_o their_o bound_n if_o the_o act_n of_o our_o general_a assembly_n by_o which_o they_o stand_v censurable_a be_v in_o any_o regard_n but_o however_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n be_v here_o make_v sole_a competent_a judge_n of_o this_o fitness_n and_o by_o what_o right_a he_o have_v appoint_v these_o to_o go_v to_o the_o place_n particulary_a design_v he_o may_v appoint_v other_o to_o go_v to_o such_o place_n for_o which_o no_o church-judicatory_a act_v conscientious_o will_v judge_v they_o qualify_v and_o who_o can_v challenge_v they_o upon_o this_o account_n see_v they_o be_v sole_a judge_n themselves_o 8._o in_o king_n james_n his_o day_n several_a faithful_a and_o honest_a minister_n be_v banish_v from_o

to_o serve_v the_o lord_n in_o the_o place_n where_o they_o be_v confine_v but_o we_o never_o find_v that_o they_o take_v the_o charge_n of_o such_o or_o such_o a_o flock_n upon_o the_o edict_n or_o

instruction_n rule_n and_o canon_n direct_v they_o how_o to_o regulate_v themselves_o in_o the_o exercise_n of_o their_o ministerial_a function_n and_o when_o the_o indulge_v person_n do_v thus_o who_o can_v assoil_v they_o from_o a_o plain_a defection_n from_o our_o cause_n and_o principle_n put_v the_o case_n that_o some_o minister_n have_v do_v so_o in_o the_o year_n 1649._o how_o will_v
