A87512	The want of church-government no warrant for a totall omission of the Lords Supper. Or, A brief and scholastical debate of that question, which hath so wonderfully perplexed many, both ministers and people. Whether or no, the sacrament of the Lords Supper may (according to presbyterial principles) be lawfully administred in an un-presbyterated church, that is, a church destitute of ruling elders. Wherein the affirmative is confirmed by many arguments, and cleared from objections, especially such as are drawn from the unavoidablenesse of mixt communions without ecclesiastical discipline. / By Henry Jeanes, minister of Gods Word at Chedzoy in Sommerset-shire.	Jeanes, Henry, 1611-1662.	1650 (1650)	Wing J511; Thomason E618_6; ESTC R202652	58,879	80

no_o more_o than_o we_o can_v infer_v that_o it_o be_v only_o to_o be_v administer_v to_o man_n or_o minister_n but_o look_v as_o because_o christ_n give_v the_o lord_n supper_n only_o unto_o man_n therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o administer_v the_o lord_n supper_n unto_o a_o congregation_n make_v up_o only_o of_o man_n which_o be_v a_o thing_n usual_a in_o ship_n at_o sea_n and_o among_o merchant_n trade_v in_o remote_a part_n even_o so_o because_o christ_n give_v the_o lord_n supper_n unto_o a_o church_n destitute_a of_o rule_v elder_n therefore_o the_o administration_n of_o it_o unto_o a_o church_n that_o now_o be_v destitute_a of_o rule_v elder_n be_v lawful_a as_o be_v agreeable_a unto_o the_o practice_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o first_o

common_a now_o that_o the_o church_n be_v then_o presbyterate_v be_v speak_v gratis_o without_o any_o colour_n from_o the_o text._n but_o you_o will_v say_v the_o apostle_n be_v clothe_v with_o a_o

do_v they_o act_v under_o the_o notion_n of_o apostle_n extraordinary_a minister_n or_o else_o as_o ordinary_a minister_n for_o the_o former_a no_o argument_n appear_v in_o the_o text_n and_o for_o the_o latter_a we_o have_v at_o least_o a_o probable_a argument_n a_o connexis_fw-la the_o doctrine_n or_o preach_v and_o the_o prayer_n there_o mention_v belong_v to_o the_o apostle_n as_o minister_n why_o not_o so_o also_o the_o break_n of_o bread_n a_o three_o example_n be_v act_n 20.7_o and_o upon_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n when_o the_o disciple_n come_v together_o to_o break_v

administration_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v a_o principal_a duty_n belong_v to_o the_o lord_n day_n for_o saint_n luke_n describe_v therefrom_o as_o its_o end_n the_o assembly_n of_o the_o

its_o end_n by_o that_o which_o be_v unnecessary_a and_o less_o principal_a it_o be_v absurd_a to_o describe_v a_o constant_a meeting_n upon_o such_o a_o day_n as_o from_o its_o end_n by_o that_o which_o be_v unusual_a upon_o the_o day_n the_o evidence_n of_o this_o argument_n be_v acknowledge_v by_o the_o london_n divine_v in_o their_o divine_a right_n of_o church_n government_n pag._n 20_o 21._o whatsoever_o action_n be_v do_v by_o saint_n record_v in_o scripture_n upon_o such_o ground_n as_o be_v of_o a_o moral_a perpetual_a and_o common_a concernment_n to_o one_o person_n as_o well_o

duty_n unless_o it_o be_v a_o principal_a part_n of_o they_o if_o we_o consult_v ecclesiastical_a story_n they_o inform_v we_o that_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v administer_v every_o lord_n day_n paraeus_n prove_v as_o much_o out_o of_o justin_n martyr_n and_o tertullian_n indeed_o there_o be_v many_o who_o affirm_v that_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v celebrate_v by_o the_o primitive_a

ames_n de_fw-fr sabbato_fw-la &_o die_v dominico_n if_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v daily_o administer_v in_o the_o primitive_a church_n why_o then_o be_v there_o particular_a mention_n make_v of_o

by_o necessity_n of_o command_n unto_o performance_n of_o this_o duty_n of_o celebrate_v the_o lord_n supper_n upon_o that_o day_n whereas_o in_o other_o day_n they_o be_v leave_v unto_o their_o liberty_n the_o four_o and_o last_o example_n be_v in_o the_o church_n of_o corinth_n 1_o cor._n 11._o and_o how_o strong_o conclusive_a this_o example_n be_v for_o the_o administration_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n in_o a_o unpresbyterated_n church_n you_o shall_v hear_v when_o we_o come_v to_o a_o comparison_n of_o a_o unpresbyterated_n church_n with_o a_o presbyterated_a church_n in_o which_o there_o be_v a_o maladministration_n of_o discipline_n unto_o which_o head_n we_o shall_v refer_v the_o consideration_n of_o this_o example_n the_o three_o principal_a argument_n be_v take_v from_o the_o general_a nature_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n it_o be_v a_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n genere_fw-la the_o three_o argument_n a_o genere_fw-la one_o of_o those_o mystery_n of_o god_n which_o we_o
