those_o who_o be_v not_o well_o satisfy_v nor_o content_v with_o their_o own_o station_n in_o the_o church_n but_o be_v aspire_v to_o more_o eminent_a gift_n and_o administration_n be_v all_o apostle_n say_v he_o be_v all_o prophet_n etc._n etc._n and_o so_o he_o reckon_v out_o only_o those_o rare_a and_o singular_a gift_n which_o man_n do_v most_o covet_v and_o for_o that_o cause_n it_o be_v neither_o necessary_a nor_o have_v it_o be_v agreeable_a to_o the_o scope_n of_o the_o apostle_n to_o have_v add_v be_v all_o help_n be_v all_o government_n but_o now_o he_o purposely_o leave_v

be_v neither_o apostle_n nor_o prophet_n etc._n etc._n it_o remain_v therefore_o that_o the_o government_n in_o the_o church_n mention_v 1_o cor._n 12._o 28._o be_v such_o government_n as_o be_v in_o

of_o his_o body_n this_o exception_n mr._n hussey_n quarrel_v but_o when_o he_o have_v endeavour_v to_o prove_v from_o that_o text_n that_o christ_n be_v the_o head_n of_o principality_n because_o he_o that_o be_v head_n of_o all_o thing_n be_v also_o head_n of_o principality_n though_o he_o will_v never_o be_v able_a to_o make_v it_o out_o from_o that_o text_n that_o christ_n as_o mediator_n be_v head_n of_o all_o thing_n but_o only_o that_o he_o who_o be_v the_o church_n head_n be_v over_o all_o thing_n and_o give_v he_o to_o be_v the_o head_n over_o not_o of_o all_o thing_n to_o the_o

he_o that_o be_v the_o church_n head_n be_v over_o all_o both_o as_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n or_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v rom._n 9_o 5._o god_n over_o all_o bless_v for_o ever_o yea_o

that_o they_o hold_v of_o and_o under_o he_o as_o mediator_n mr._n hussey_n reply_v that_o the_o text_n make_v christ_n over_o or_o above_o principality_n and_o power_n not_o only_o in_o dignity_n and_o honour_n but_o as_o king_n or_o head_n of_o they_o and_o that_o thus_o we_o must_v understand_v the_o comparison_n that_o he_o be_v above_o principality_n in_o principality_n power_n in_o
