A86004	Nihil respondes: or, A discovery of the extream unsatisfactorinesse of Master Colemans peece, published last weeke under the title of A brotherly examination re-examined. Wherein, his self-contradictions: his yeelding of some things, and not answering to other things objected against him: his abusing of Scripture: his errors in divinity: his abusing of the Parliament, and indangering their authority: his abusing of the Assembly: his calumnies, and namely against the Church of Scotland, and against my selfe: the repugnancy of his doctrin to the solemne League and Covenant, are plainly demonstrated. / By George Gillespie minister at Edenburgh. Published by authority.	Gillespie, George, 1613-1648.	1645 (1645)	Wing G755; Thomason E309_9; ESTC R200413	26,848	36

along_o with_o his_o re-examination_n pag._n 14._o he_o explain_v himself_o and_o i_o thus_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v that_o i_o advise_v the_o parliament_n to_o lay_v no_o burden_n of_o government_n

that_o hold_v out_o none_o here_o be_v no_o fail_v he_o add_v a_o simile_n of_o a_o jury_n swear_v to_o inquire_v into_o the_o felony_n of_o a_o accuse_a person_n but_o find_v nor_o guilty_a and_o of_o three_o man_n take_v a_o oath_n to_o deliver_v in_o their_o opinion_n of_o church-government_n where_o by_o the_o way_n he_o let_v fall_v that_o i_o hold_v the_o national_a synod_n to_o be_v

of_o popery_n itself_o according_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o example_n of_o the_o best_a reform_a church_n that_o be_v take_v a_o oath_n to_o deliver_v in_o our_o opinion_n of_o these_o

this_o of_o thing_n to_o be_v preserve_v and_o reform_v why_o do_v he_o not_o take_v the_o strength_n of_o my_o argument_n and_o make_v a_o reply_n 2._o by_o the_o same_o principle_n of_o his_o we_o

to_o maintain_v that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o felony_n sure_o this_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o their_o oath_n so_o he_o that_o swear_v to_o endeavour_v the_o reformation_n of_o

such_o a_o thing_n as_o church-government_n be_v his_o only_a answer_n to_o my_o first_o argument_n from_o the_o covenant_n must_v needs_o suppose_v that_o the_o government_n mention_v in_o the_o

and_o why_o and_o here_o he_o run_v out_o against_o i_o as_o if_o i_o hold_v that_o the_o parliament_n be_v not_o to_o meddle_v with_o religion_n a_o assertion_n which_o i_o abominate_a prince_n and_o

of_o consequence_n from_o any_o thing_n that_o ever_o i_o say_v that_o which_o be_v to_o be_v reply_v unto_o be_v whether_o do_v not_o the_o material_n of_o the_o first_o article_n of_o the_o

of_o we_o to_o endeavour_v the_o preservation_n of_o the_o reform_a religion_n in_o the_o church_n of_o scotland_n in_o doctrine_n worship_n discipline_n and_o government_n where_o all_o know_v that_o the_o word_n discipline_n and_o government_n especial_o be_v mention_v as_o two_o of_o the_o principal_a thing_n in_o which_o the_o reform_a religion_n in_o that_o church_n do_v consist_v signify_v church-government_n

and_o church-discipline_n distinct_a both_o from_o doctrine_n and_o worship_n and_o from_o civil_a government_n which_o by_o the_o way_n how_o mr_n coleman_n endeavour_v to_o preserve_v i_o will_v not_o now_o say_v but_o leave_v it_o to_o other_o to_o judge_v therefore_o in_o that_o which_o immediate_o follow_v our_o endeavour_v the_o reformation_n of_o religion_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o england_n and_o ireland_n in_o doctrine_n worship_n discipline_n and_o government_n the_o word_n discipline_n and_o government_n must_v needs_o be_v understand_v in_o the_o same_o sense_n thus_o far_o that_o it_o be_v a_o church-discipline_n and_o a_o church-government_n distinct_a from_o the_o civil_a power_n of_o the_o magistrate_n and_o distinct_a also_o from_o doctrine_n and_o worship_n in_o the_o church_n for_o we_o can_v make_v these_o word_n discipline_n and_o government_n in_o one_o and_o the_o same_o article_n of_o a_o solemn_a oath_n and_o covenant_n to_o suffer_v two_o sense_n differ_v toto_fw-la genere_fw-la especial_o consider_v that_o the_o civil_a government_n be_v put_v by_o itself_o in_o another_o article_n which_o be_v the_o three_o unless_o we_o make_v it_o to_o speak_v so_o as_o none_o may_v understand_v it_o the_o other_o argument_n which_o i_o now_o add_v be_v this_o in_o the_o three_o part_n of_o that_o first_o article_n we_o swear_v that_o we_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o bring_v the_o church_n of_o god_n in_o the_o three_o kingdom_n to_o the_o near_a conjunction_n and_o uniformity_n in_o religion_n confession_n of_o faith_n form_n of_o church_n government_n directory_n for_o worship_n and_o catechise_n where_o 1._o church_n government_n do_v agree_v generical_o with_o a_o confession_n of_o faith_n directory_n of_o worship_n and_o catechise_v i_o mean_v all_o these_o be_v matter_n of_o religion_n none_o of_o they_o civil_a matter_n 2._o it_o be_v suppose_v there_o be_v such_o a_o thing_n as_o church_n government_n distinct_a from_o civil_a government_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v put_v out_o of_o all_o question_n that_o so_o far_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o uniformity_n between_o the_o church_n of_o god_n in_o the_o three_o kingdom_n and_o otherwise_o it_o be_v a_o unswear_n of_o what_o be_v swear_v in_o the_o first_o part_n of_o that_o article_n but_o it_o tie_v we_o to_o endeavour_v the_o near_a conjunction_n and_o uniformity_n in_o a_o form_n of_o church_n government_n which_o be_v a_o vain_a and_o rash_a oath_n if_o we_o be_v not_o tie_v to_o a_o church_n government_n in_o general_a and_o that_o as_o a_o matter_n of_o religion_n 3_o the_o uniformity_n in_o a_o form_n of_o church-government_n which_o we_o swear_v to_o endeavour_v must_v needs_o be_v mean_v of_o corrective_a government_n it_o be_v clear_o

word_n and_o sacrament_n can_v here_o help_v he_o from_o these_o two_o argument_n beside_o all_o be_v say_v before_o i_o conclude_v that_o the_o covenant_n do_v undeniable_o suppose_v and_o plain_o hold_v forth_o this_o thing_n as_o most_o necessary_a and_o uncontrover●able_a that_o there_o ought_v to_o be_v a_o church-government_n which_o be_v both_o distinct_a from_o the_o gavel-government_n
