A23641	A defence of the answer made unto the nine questions or positions sent from New-England, against the reply thereto by that reverend servant of Christ, Mr. John Ball, entituled, A tryall of the new church-way in New-England and in old wherin, beside a more full opening of sundry particulars concerning liturgies, power of the keys, matter of the visible church, &c., is more largely handled that controversie concerning the catholick, visible church : tending to cleare up the old-way of Christ in New-England churches / by Iohn Allin [and] Tho.

by_o the_o apostle_n or_o elder_n to_o the_o church_n to_o be_v choose_v by_o they_o much_o less_o limit_v the_o church_n to_o consent_v thereto_o if_o they_o have_v nothing_o against_o he_o reply_n in_o reason_n this_o be_v evident_a for_o the_o child_n consent_n be_v require_v in_o marriage_n but_o the_o more_o able_a he_o be_v to_o choose_v for_o himself_o the_o more_o liberty_n may_v parent_n grant_v the_o less_o able_a the_o more_o watchful_a must_v they_o be_v reply_n this_o similitude_n utter_o fail_v in_o two_o essential_a thing_n that_o concern_v the_o case_n for_o which_o it_o be_v apply_v 1._o because_o a_o child_n be_v under_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o parent_n who_o right_a be_v such_o that_o a_o child_n can_v lawful_o choose_v without_o they_o but_o there_o be_v no_o church_n or_o other_o have_v such_o a_o right_n and_o authority_n over_o any_o church_n in_o their_o choice_n of_o officer_n 2._o whatsoever_o the_o power_n of_o parent_n be_v yet_o the_o essence_n of_o the_o marriage_n consist_v in_o the_o mutual_a consent_n and_o promise_v of_o the_o child_n that_o marry_v and_o so_o here_o the_o essence_n of_o a_o minister_n call_v must_v lie_v in_o the_o election_n of_o the_o church_n and_o acceptance_n of_o the_o minister_n which_o be_v not_o avoid_v but_o by_o the_o similitude_n confirm_v it_o be_v a_o duty_n of_o neighbour_n church_n to_o lend_v their_o help_n to_o their_o brethren_n in_o election_n of_o their_o minister_n when_o the_o scripture_n will_v we_o to_o exhort_v one_o another_o or_o admonish_v one_o another_o it_o be_v not_o only_o a_o command_n to_o every_o singular_a person_n towards_o his_o fellow_n but_o also_o to_o any_o whole_a company_n answ_n we_o grant_v all_o this_o and_o that_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o a_o church_n be_v it_o weak_a or_o strong_a to_o take_v all_o needful_a counsel_n advise_v or_o exhortation_n and_o admonition_n in_o so_o weighty_a a_o work_n but_o if_o church_n or_o other_o shall_v impose_v upon_o any_o church_n any_o officer_n without_o their_o choice_n this_o be_v no_o brotherly_a help_n but_o unjust_a usurpation_n and_o if_o you_o understand_v junius_n so_o as_o that_o

for_o themselves_o we_o see_v no_o reason_n for_o that_o nor_o do_v we_o think_v it_o be_v his_o meaning_n neither_o do_v paul_n rom._n 12.12_o lie_v any_o foundation_n of_o such_o usurpation_n but_o only_o of_o mutual_a brotherly_a helpfulnesse_n by_o counsel_n etc._n etc._n and_o the_o contrary_n be_v not_o policy_n but_o some_o degree_n of_o tyranny_n reply_n it_o be_v a_o blemish_n in_o the_o call_n of_o a_o minister_n if_o either_o the_o people_n be_v not_o fit_a to_o choose_v or_o be_v fit_a they_o be_v shut_v out_o from_o the_o chocie_n but_o this_o maim_n do_v not_o make_v a_o nullity_n in_o his_o call_n answ_n if_o a_o people_n or_o church_n be_v never_o so_o weak_a which_o be_v here_o call_v unfitnesse_n yet_o christ_n be_v among_o they_o and_o they_o make_v a_o orderly_a and_o good_a choice_n there_o can_v be_v no_o blemish_n in_o the_o call_v see_v the_o right_n be_v they_o and_o such_o a_o free_a choice_n will_v better_o establish_v the_o conscience_n of_o any_o godly_a minister_n in_o his_o call_n then_o if_o a_o synod_n of_o the_o able_a minister_n shall_v impose_v he_o without_o their_o free_a choice_n except_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v that_o the_o right_n of_o election_n be_v in_o the_o synod_n which_o we_o think_v will_v not_o be_v do_v but_o be_v they_o able_a or_o weak_a if_o the_o people_n be_v shut_v out_o it_o must_v needs_o make_v a_o great_a maim_n in_o his_o call_n and_o if_o they_o do_v not_o consent_v nor_o submit_v to_o such_o a_o one_o call_v by_o other_o it_o will_v make_v it_o a_o nullity_n as_o be_v show_v before_o what_o

truth_n of_o god_n and_o a_o lawful_a ministry_n be_v both_o essential_a to_o a_o true_a church_n answ_n answ_n what_o then_o become_v of_o the_o church_n when_o the_o minister_n be_v dead_a reply_n the_o true_a church_n have_v continue_v by_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n where_o the_o election_n of_o minister_n have_v be_v give_v away_o by_o the_o people_n or_o take_v from_o they_o answ_n true_a but_o it_o have_v be_v continue_v by_o the_o after_o consent_n and_o subjection_n of_o the_o people_n to_o their_o minister_n choose_v by_o other_o else_o they_o must_v needs_o have_v break_v a_o

what_o be_v say_v of_o the_o disorder_n of_o ancient_a church_n in_o election_n we_o pass_v over_o as_o nothing_o to_o this_o purpose_n that_o the_o ministry_n may_v be_v lawful_a for_o substance_n where_o there_o be_v many_o defect_n in_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o call_v we_o grant_v the_o church_n at_o length_n consent_v to_o submit_v thereto_o in_o who_o the_o true_a right_n be_v place_v by_o
