A77726	An answer, or confutation of divers errors broached, and maintained by the seven churches of Anabaptists contained in those articles of their confession of faith propounded to the Parliament, and other grosse opinions held by them against the cleare light of the gospell. By Thomas Bakewell. Imprimatur John Downham.	Bakewell, Thomas, b. 1618 or 19.	1646 (1646)	Wing B526; Thomason E336_10; ESTC R200810	49,330	53

have_v power_n &c_n &c_n but_o i_o doubt_v of_o it_o you_o answer_v either_o the_o church_n or_o the_o world_n must_v choose_v they_o and_o which_o it_o be_v let_v the_o scripture_n be_v judge_v this_o i_o grant_v that_o the_o church_n representative_a or_o the_o presbytery_n send_v james_n and_o john_n to_o samaria_n act_v 8.14_o and_o paul_n and_o barnabas_n another_o way_n chap_n 13.3_o but_o no_o man_n never_o do_v labour_n to_o gather_v to_o himself_o a_o church_n neither_o do_v any_o congregation_n separate_v themselves_o from_o the_o rest_n and_o claim_v this_o power_n to_o

6.3.6_o the_o apostle_n labour_v to_o gather_v disciple_n to_o the_o multitude_n have_v all_o a_o interest_n in_o it_o as_o a_o common_a presbytery_n so_o then_o there_o never_o be_v any_o single_a

one_o of_o your_o sheep_n and_o make_v he_o your_o shepherd_n but_o i_o doubt_v of_o it_o you_o answer_v that_o you_o know_v not_o where_o the_o saint_n shall_v find_v a_o pastor_n if_o not_o among_o church_n member_n but_o this_o i_o grant_v for_o we_o must_v choose_v a_o christian_n &_o not_o a_o jew_n or_o a_o turk_n to_o be_v our_o minister_n and_o we_o must_v take_v he_o out_o of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o so_o we_o do_v when_o we_o take_v they_o out_o of_o the_o school_n of_o the_o prophet_n the_o university_n for_o a_o tradesman_n be_v place_v by_o god_n otherwise_o and_o a_o man_n without_o humane_a learning_n ought_v not_o to_o meddle_v in_o it_o it_o be_v none_o of_o his_o business_n and_o he_o ought_v not_o to_o meddle_v with_o other_o man_n matter_n yet_o here_o you_o make_v it_o a_o article_n of_o your_o faith_n to_o believe_v that_o your_o congregation_n may_v take_v one_o of_o themselves_o and_o make_v he_o their_o pastor_n i_o grant_v that_o we_o may_v take_v a_o man_n of_o our_o coast_n and_o set_v he_o up_o for_o a_o watchman_n ezek._n 33.2_o but_o for_o you_o to_o take_v a_o sheep_n of_o your_o own_o flock_n and_o make_v he_o your_o shepherd_n have_v no_o ordination_n but_o from_o his_o fellow-sheepe_n you_o have_v no_o foundation_n in_o the_o scripture_n for_o this_o article_n of_o your_o faith_n the_o eight_o and_o thirty_o article_n you_o believe_v that_o the_o minister_n maintenance_n must_v be_v a_o voluntary_a contribution_n but_o i_o doubt_v of_o it_o your_o answer_n be_v that_o all_o acceptable_a service_n to_o god_n ought_v to_o be_v free_a whereof_o his_o servant_n maintenance_n be_v a_o part_n i_o answer_v it_o be_v true_a although_o the_o minister_n wage_n shall_v be_v certain_a yet_o it_o shall_v be_v give_v free_o and_o so_o we_o shall_v free_o pay_v all_o other_o debt_n and_o although_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v certain_a yet_o this_o hinder_v not_o but_o we_o may_v be_v willing_a and_o do_v it_o free_o and_o so_o say_v this_o be_v a_o service_n to_o god_n i_o say_v it_o be_v no_o more_o to_o god_n than_o all_o other_o duty_n of_o the_o second_o table_n of_o the_o law_n be_v which_o be_v to_o be_v do_v to_o man_n in_o conscience_n of_o obedience_n to_o god_n that_o command_v it_o but_o the_o argument_n why_o the_o seven_o church_n will_v give_v the_o minister_n what_o they_o listen_v be_v this_o because_o it_o be_v philemon_n voluntary_a contribution_n if_o he_o do_v any_o thing_n for_o his_o man_n onesimus_n that_o have_v break_v covenant_n with_o he_o and_o be_v run_v away_o from_o he_o and_o paul_n entreat_v he_o to_o use_v he_o kind_o phil._n 14.18_o but_o what_o be_v this_o to_o the_o ministry_n will_v it_o follow_v because_o a_o servant_n have_v break_v covenant_n and_o be_v run_v away_o from_o his_o master_n and_o now_o what_o he_o do_v for_o he_o be_v voluntary_o that_o therefore_o a_o congregation_n may_v do_v so_o with_o their_o faithful_a pastor_n that_o abide_v with_o they_o yet_o i_o confess_v if_o a_o pastor_n shall_v do_v with_o his_o flock_n as_o onesimus_n do_v with_o his_o master_n be_v unfaithful_a and_o run_v away_o from_o they_o then_o let_v he_o stand_v to_o their_o voluntary_a contribution_n then_o here_o be_v but_o a_o weak_a foundation_n for_o this_o article_n the_o nine_o and_o thirty_o article_n you_o believe_v that_o baptism_n must_v be_v dispense_v only_o to_o person_n profess_v faith_n to_o disciple_n that_o be_v teach_v but_o this_o i_o doubt_v of_o you_o answer_v say_v you_o believe_v all_o that_o christ_n command_v and_o his_o servant_n preach_v to_o be_v truth_n in_o god_n worship_n which_o be_v to_o baptize_v such_o as_o believe_v but_o i_o say_v the_o command_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o to_o baptize_v they_o that_o believe_v but_o it_o be_v to_o teach_v baptise_v all_o nation_n and_o his_o servant_n practise_v be_v if_o the_o chief_a in_o any_o house_n believe_v christ_n to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n they_o
