their_o ministry_n in_o another_o congregation_n for_o soothe_v so_o he_o conclude_v but_o how_o true_o i_o will_v here_o manifest_v in_o this_o argument_n if_o the_o magistrate_n of_o amsterdam_n perform_v sometime_o a_o work_n of_o mercy_n to_o the_o people_n at_o harlem_n then_o they_o exercise_v there_o some_o act_n of_o their_o magistracy_n but_o the_o first_o be_v true_a therefore_o the_o second_o if_o mr._n paget_n will_v compare_v his_o manner_n of_o reason_v with_o this_o he_o shall_v see_v that_o blood_n be_v not_o more_o like_a to_o blood_n than_o these_o two_o one_o the_o other_o but_o i_o guess_v what_o cause_v he_o to_o err_v herein_o he_o think_v that_o officer_n of_o a_o church_n can_v be_v helpful_a in_o some_o cause_n unto_o other_o people_n but_o they_o exercise_v act_n of_o their_o ministry_n but_o the_o thing_n be_v not_o so_o for_o whatsoever_o they_o do_v in_o such_o case_n they_o do_v it_o not_o as_o officer_n but_o as_o christian_n neither_o can_v they_o now_o do_v more_o though_o minister_n in_o other_o church_n than_o any_o other_o brother_n may_v do_v be_v endue_v with_o the_o like_a gift_n one_o thing_n here_o i_o can_v let_v pass_n and_o that_o be_v touch_v his_o unsound_a reason_n in_o pag._n 110._o he_o tell_v mr._n ainsworth_n that_o his_o similitude_n from_o a_o husband_n be_v against_o himself_o the_o reason_n he_o give_v for_o it_o be_v because_o a_o husband_n notwithstanding_o his_o relation_n and_o bond_n unto_o his_o own_o wife_n may_v yet_o become_v a_o protector_n and_o guide_v of_o the_o poor_a widow_n that_o want_v a_o husband_n to_o perform_v these_o duty_n if_o mr._n paget_n will_v stand_v to_o justify_v the_o true_a proportion_n of_o his_o argument_n as_o it_o must_v necessary_o hold_v or_o else_o it_o be_v mere_a vanity_n i_o will_v hence_o prove_v from_o his_o writing_n that_o adultery_n be_v lawful_a for_o thus_o i_o reason_n that_o which_o be_v the_o peculiar_a duty_n of_o husband_n to_o be_v perform_v towards_o their_o wife_n be_v to_o give_v they_o due_a benevolence_n but_o husband_n notwithstanding_o the_o relation_n and_o bond_n unto_o their_o own_o wife_n may_v perform_v the_o peculiar_a duty_n of_o husband_n to_o poor_a widow_n therefore_o husband_n notwithstanding_o the_o relation_n and_o bond_n unto_o their_o own_o wife_n may_v have_v the_o use_n of_o the_o body_n of_o poor_a widow_n if_o he_o do_v not_o grant_v this_o he_o reason_v without_o reason_n for_o i_o hope_v he_o will_v not_o deny_v but_o a_o man_n that_o be_v no_o husband_n may_v perform_v many_o kind_a office_n to_o poor_a widow_n yea_o i_o think_v he_o will_v confess_v that_o a_o man_n unmarried_a may_v do_v as_o many_o good_a turn_n to_o poor_a widow_n as_o any_o husband_n if_o so_o then_o of_o a_o certainty_n either_o he_o must_v maintain_v whoordome_n as_o i_o say_v before_o or_o confess_v that_o which_o he_o write_v here_o be_v most_o impertinent_a and_o that_o the_o comparison_n hold_v no_o further_o but_o thus_o viz._n that_o any_o man_n out_o of_o office_n may_v in_o other_o congregation_n perform_v as_o much_o duty_n as_o those_o which_o be_v not_o minister_n there_o i_o hope_v his_o sin_n here_o be_v of_o ignorance_n rather_o than_o of_o wilfullnes_n and_o that_o he_o have_v a_o devotion_n to_o serve_v god_n a_o right_n though_o he_o take_v not_o in_o this_o the_o right_a way_n wherein_o he_o will_v be_v serve_v and_o thus_o much_o be_v sufficient_a to_o confute_v whatsoever_o he_o have_v there_o say_v let_v we_o therefore_o proceed_v to_o the_o next_o for_o his_o 5_o answer_n i_o can_v better_o understand_v his_o meaning_n then_o make_v either_o sense_n or_o good_a english_a of_o it_o to_o prove_v that_o a_o pastor_n be_v bind_v to_o exercise_v his_o ministry_n in_o some_o act_n thereof_o towards_o those_o who_o be_v no_o member_n of_o his_o church_n he_o bring_v the_o example_n of_o class_n and_o synod_n where_o many_o minister_n do_v meet_v together_o for_o the_o administration_n of_o discipline_n in_o they_o and_o to_o determine_v and_o decide_v by_o a_o joint_a authority_n the_o case_n and_o controversy_n of_o sundry_a congregation_n and_o this_o
