there_o of_o this_o labour_n which_o only_o do_v arise_v from_o the_o great_a contempt_n and_o ignorance_n of_o these_o precept_n which_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v set_v down_o by_o the_o pen_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o that_o because_o man_n despise_v the_o way_n of_o god_n that_o they_o may_v establish_v the_o invention_n of_o their_o own_o brain_n and_o bring_v into_o the_o church_n their_o

here_o some_o man_n will_v demand_v whether_o this_o discipline_n be_v so_o precise_o set_v down_o note_n note_n and_o prescribe_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n as_o nothing_o can_v be_v add_v unto_o

word_n that_o nothing_o can_v be_v add_v thereunto_o church_n some_o thing_n essential_a some_o thing_n accidentarie_a in_o the_o regiment_n of_o the_o church_n i_o answer_v that_o in_o every_o work_n cause_n and_o action_n there_o be_v some_o thing_n essential_a and_o some_o thing_n accidental_a those_o thing_n be_v essential_a which_o contain_v the_o whole_a nature_n of_o the_o thing_n or_o some_o part_n thereof_o as_o in_o this_o argument_n if_o any_o man_n in_o the_o lawful_a call_n of_o pastor_n or_o other_o church_n officer_n that_o be_v to_o be_v choose_v shall_v deny_v either_o

essential_a unto_o all_o lawful_a election_n in_o like_a sort_n if_o any_o man_n shall_v say_v that_o this_o trial_n be_v not_o to_o be_v have_v by_o the_o church_n and_o that_o by_o many_o but_o by_o one_o man_n alone_o and_o shall_v teach_v that_o the_o church_n be_v to_o stand_v in_o this_o case_n unto_o the_o mere_a determination_n of_o one_o he_o take_v away_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v essential_a in_o election_n but_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v reason_v that_o this_o trial_n by_o many_o be_v to_o be_v do_v in_o this_o or_o that_o place_n at_o this_o or_o that_o time_n after_o this_o or_o that_o manner_n he_o speak_v only_o of_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v accidental_a as_o for_o example_n the_o ancient_a manner_n in_o time_n pass_v of_o election_n and_o trial_n of_o pastor_n be_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v choose_v by_o 3._o bishop_n or_o pastor_n that_o be_v next_o unto_o he_o together_o with_o the_o eldership_n and_o church_n whereof_o he_o be_v to_o be_v pastor_n and_o this_o be_v do_v only_o in_o the_o metropolitan_a city_n at_o a_o certain_a and_o a_o appoint_v time_n namely_o in_o the_o time_n of_o public_a fast_o to_o be_v short_a he_o be_v choose_v not_o by_o

accidentarie_a and_o not_o essential_a in_o election_n this_o therefore_o we_o conclude_v that_o whatsoever_o by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v command_v to_o be_v do_v and_o observe_v in_o the_o government_n of_o the_o church_n whether_o it_o be_v concern_v the_o election_n or_o the_o office_n of_o those_o that_o be_v call_v or_o whatsoever_o head_n of_o ecclesiastical_a discipline_n it_o do_v respect_n we_o conclude_v i_o say_v that_o to_o be_v altogether_o essential_a but_o as_o for_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v adjudge_v and_o appoint_v in_o every_o particular_a province_n or_o church_n to_o be_v most_o commodious_a to_o effect_v and_o practice_v the_o former_a point_n we_o hold_v they_o to_o be_v but_o accidentary_a matter_n as_o that_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n shall_v be_v at_o this_o hour_n rather_o than_o at_o a_o other_o that_o the_o church_n shall_v rather_o have_v this_o number_n of_o elder_n and_o deacons_n then_o that_o all_o which_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v hold_v accidentary_a &_o in_o no_o wise_a essential_a unto_o the_o government_n of_o the_o church_n now_o therefore_o unto_o the_o present_a question_n in_o hand_n according_a unto_o this_o

or_o diminish_v by_o the_o commandment_n &_o law_n of_o man_n but_o as_o for_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v accidental_a we_o deny_v not_o but_o they_o may_v be_v increase_v diminish_v qualify_v or_o augment_v not_o only_o by_o every_o province_n but_o even_o by_o particular_a church_n as_o they_o find_v they_o convenient_a or_o incommodious_a unto_o their_o state_n and_o to_o speak_v in_o a_o word_n as_o occasion_n of_o the_o circumstance_n of_o place_n time_n and_o person_n shall_v require_v and_o after_o the_o self_n same_o manner_n we_o answer_v unto_o that_o other_o demand_n of_o some_o which_o will_v know_v whether_o the_o church_n may_v swerve_v from_o that_o order_n of_o government_n which_o be_v set_v down_o in_o the_o writing_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o whether_o the_o
