this_o place_n first_o that_o the_o church_n here_o mean_v be_v totum_fw-la universale_fw-la exist_v and_o determinine_v in_o its_o act_n by_o the_o particular_n answ_n that_o can_v be_v for_o genus_fw-la quâ_fw-la genus_fw-la can_v have_v no_o officer_n see_v it_o be_v a_o second_o notion_n abstract_v only_o in_o the_o mind_n therefore_o the_o church_n quâ_fw-la totum_fw-la universale_fw-la be_v no_o exi_a polity_n if_o it_o have_v officer_n it_o must_v be_v consider_v as_o a_o integrum_fw-la existens_fw-la and_o as_o for_o totum_fw-la genenericum_n existens_fw-la it_o be_v nothing_o else_o as_o i_o conceive_v but_o integrum_fw-la similare_fw-la for_o genus_fw-la exi_v not_o as_o genus_fw-la but_o only_o under_o distinct_a specifical_a form_n and_o be_v abstract_v from_o the_o species_n or_o individual_n by_o the_o understanding_n now_o that_o which_o have_v no_o existence_n of_o its_o own_o can_v have_v no_o exi_a officer_n omne_fw-la conporeum_fw-la existens_fw-la vel_fw-la est_fw-la integrum_fw-la vel_fw-la membrum_fw-la neither_o will_v it_o help_v the_o cause_n at_o all_o to_o say_v that_o apostle_n prophet_n evangelist_n be_v extraordinary_a temporary_a officer_n first_o here_o be_v ordinary_a officer_n insert_v also_o give_v to_o the_o same_o church_n as_o teacher_n ruling-elders_a deacon_n second_o a_o genus_fw-la admit_v of_o no_o

his_o second_o exposition_n be_v that_o the_o apostle_n point_v at_o one_o particular_a but_o include_v all_o particular_n by_o a_o parity_n and_o proportion_n of_o reason_n answ_n this_o can_v be_v for_o this_o church_n here_o mean_v be_v the_o political_a body_n of_o christ_n as_o m._n hooker_n himself_o expound_v it_o as_o i_o show_v before_o now_o all_o the_o member_n of_o a_o particular_a church_n as_o suppose_v corinth_n be_v but_o member_n of_o a_o part_n of_o that_o body_n as_o i_o show_v before_o second_o god_n do_v not_o set_v all_o these_o in_o every_o particular_a church_n have_v every_o particular_a congregation_n apostle_n prophet_n miracle_n gift_n of_o heal_a diversity_n of_o tongue_n yea_o take_v the_o constant_a officer_n the_o teacher_n and_o ordinary_o one_o congregation_n have_v not_o teacher_n but_o only_o one_o teacher_n therefore_o this_o parity_n of_o reason_n can_v hold_v except_o all_o these_o officer_n be_v in_o the_o plural_a number_n in_o every_o congregation_n and_o if_o the_o apostle_n prophet_n evangelist_n be_v officer_n of_o every_o particular_a congregation_n quâ_fw-la particular_a than_o all_o those_o incongruity_n which_o our_o
