contrary_a and_o we_o will_v acknowledge_v the_o function_n of_o minister_n to_o be_v more_o venerable_a than_o any_o among_o man_n beside_o that_o which_o bear_v the_o sword_n the_o emblem_n of_o god_n imperial_a majesty_n but_o to_o such_o as_o be_v god_n sword-bearer_n upon_o earth_n we_o conceive_v minister_n ought_v to_o give_v place_n and_o pay_v subjection_n as_o humble_o as_o any_o other_o the_o preminence_n of_o king_n we_o hold_v to_o be_v three_o way_n manifest_a in_o order_n in_o measure_n and_o in_o kind_n in_o the_o very_a sanctity_n of_o the_o priesthood_n itself_o we_o conceive_v the_o ministration_n of_o priest_n to_o be_v subordinate_a to_o prince_n inasmuch_o as_o to_o superintend_v in_o the_o most_o religious_a affair_n be_v due_a to_o prince_n and_o to_o officiate_v only_o to_o priest_n and_o to_o superintend_v be_v more_o than_o to_o officiate_v second_o in_o measure_n we_o conceive_v prince_n excel_v also_o in_o asmuch_o as_o in_o religious_a affair_n such_o priest_n have_v the_o charge_n of_o such_o flock_n and_o such_o bishop_n of_o such_o priest_n but_o all_o both_o bishop_n priest_n and_o flock_n be_v under_o the_o king_n charge_n and_o not_o only_o in_o religious_a affair_n but_o in_o civil_a also_o the_o authority_n of_o prince_n be_v both_o intensive_a and_o extensive_a many_o way_n where_o priest_n may_v not_o at_o all_o intermeddle_v and_o though_o to_o govern_v christian_n as_o christian_n be_v the_o most_o transcendent_a honour_n of_o king_n yet_o to_o govern_v man_n as_o man_n and_o not_o only_o to_o govern_v but_o to_o govern_v well_o be_v a_o thing_n of_o divine_a impression_n three_o in_o kind_a the_o regiment_n of_o prince_n be_v far_o excel_v for_o the_o regiment_n of_o king_n be_v a_o true_a proper_a regiment_n assist_v with_o real_a power_n decore_v with_o external_a honour_n found_v in_o the_o general_a consent_n of_o man_n and_o bless_v by_o the_o gracious_a influence_n of_o god_n but_o the_o rule_n of_o priest_n be_v but_o ethical_a or_o metaphorical_a only_a its_o utmost_a vigour_n be_v but_o persuasive_a and_o be_v not_o at_o all_o coercive_a either_o inward_o or_o outward_o and_o that_o subjection_n which_o it_o challenge_v be_v not_o to_o itself_o but_o to_o the_o word_n and_o sacrament_n whereto_o itself_o render_v as_o much_o as_o it_o require_v from_o other_o this_o general_a answer_n may_v suffice_v but_o to_o each_o particular_a title_n we_o will_v brief_o reply_v further_o minister_n they_o be_v god_n viz._n to_o such_o as_o be_v under_o their_o cure_n but_o then_o as_o they_o be_v god_n to_o other_o so_o prince_n be_v god_n to_o they_o thus_o moses_n be_v a_o god_n to_o aaron_n though_o aaron_n be_v a_o god_n to_o his_o inferior_n minister_n be_v star_n but_o not_o in_o magnitude_n equal_a to_o the_o sun_n neither_o be_v their_o light_n and_o influence_n so_o independent_a as_o the_o sun_n minister_n be_v angel_n viz._n upon_o earth_n and_o their_o internal_a piety_n be_v like_o a_o shine_a raiment_n to_o they_o among_o man_n but_o they_o serve_v under_o god_n on_o earth_n who_o robe_n of_o majesty_n be_v every_o way_n resplendent_a as_o well_o external_o as_o internal_o minister_n be_v ambassador_n but_o all_o ambassador_n person_n be_v not_o of_o the_o like_a honour_n nor_o all_o their_o embassage_n of_o the_o like_a moment_n nor_o all_o their_o commission_n of_o the_o like_a extent_n and_o in_o all_o these_o respect_n preacher_n be_v inferior_a to_o prince_n be_v join_v to_o they_o as_o aaron_n be_v to_o moses_n for_o a_o spokesman_n or_o a_o interpreter_n only_o minister_n be_v ruler_n viz._n quoad_fw-la vim_fw-la directivam_fw-la but_o not_o quoad_fw-la vim_fw-la coactivam_fw-la minister_n be_v father_n viz._n such_o as_o have_v be_v god_n instrument_n to_o regenerate_a we_o and_o so_o as_o saint_n jerome_n say_v they_o be_v the_o father_n of_o our_o soul_n and_o perhaps_o as_o chrysostome_n say_v in_o this_o respect_n they_o be_v more_o to_o be_v honour_v than_o our_o natural_a parent_n but_o minister_n always_o and_o only_o be_v not_o so_o our_o parent_n and_o they_o that_o be_v so_o our_o parent_n be_v not_o so_o physical_a and_o self_n efficacious_a cause_n as_o our_o natural_a parent_n be_v but_o if_o they_o may_v challenge_v more_o honour_n than_o our_o fleshly_a parent_n yet_o this_o advance_v they_o not_o above_o king_n who_o be_v both_o political_a and_o spiritual_a father_n also_o fabius_n the_o consul_n though_o he_o be_v to_o pay_v honour_n and_o reverence_n to_o his_o natural_a father_n yet_o he_o be_v to_o demand_v a_o great_a measure_n of_o the_o same_o from_o he_o be_v his_o political_a son_n and_o it_o do_v not_o misbeseem_v he_o to_o prefer_v the_o civil_a right_n before_o the_o physical_a yet_o fabius_n here_o be_v a_o mere_a magistrate_n and_o in_o that_o far_o less_o glorious_a than_o our_o christian_a magistrate_n be_v minister_n be_v steward_n but_o not_o the_o high_a in_o the_o house_n of_o god_n for_o prince_n be_v steward_n also_o and_o only_o accountable_a to_o god_n but_o they_o be_v accountable_a to_o prince_n themselves_o and_o as_o steward_n do_v provide_v food_n for_o those_o by_o who_o themselves_o be_v feed_v and_o manage_v only_o but_o one_o part_n of_o their_o lord_n affair_n so_o it_o be_v with_o minister_n under_o princess_n minister_n be_v pastor_n leader_n teacher_n their_o doctrine_n be_v their_o food_n wherewith_o they_o comfort_v the_o people_n their_o persuasion_n be_v the_o light_n wherewith_o they_o secure_v they_o from_o fall_v they_o feed_v by_o their_o exhortation_n and_o guide_v by_o their_o dehortation_n but_o all_o these_o be_v office_n of_o a_o servant_n rather_o than_o privilege_n of_o a_o master_n and_o even_o in_o these_o office_n they_o be_v subordinate_a also_o so_o the_o pilot_n at_o sea_n may_v have_v the_o safety_n of_o his_o prince_n commit_v to_o his_o direction_n charge_n and_o rule_v so_o the_o commander_n in_o war_n give_v order_n for_o all_o affair_n of_o the_o battle_n assign_v to_o the_o king_n himself_o a_o fit_a station_n so_o the_o judge_n in_o matter_n of_o law_n by_o his_o just_a decree_n

these_o case_n there_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o obedience_n due_a from_o king_n and_o that_o obedience_n imply_v some_o kind_n of_o inferiority_n and_o yet_o this_o obedience_n of_o the_o king_n do_v

in_o this_o office_n there_o be_v honour_n reverence_n and_o obedience_n due_a to_o he_o from_o the_o king_n and_o metropolitan_a yet_o this_o do_v not_o exempt_v he_o from_o that_o strong_a and_o

which_o chrysostome_n say_v that_o more_o awe_n be_v due_a to_o priest_n than_o to_o king_n and_o prince_n we_o admit_v also_o in_o this_o sense_n viz._n to_o the_o embassage_n of_o god_n in_o their_o
