A76157	Confirmation and restauration the necessary means of reformation, and reconciliation; for the healing of the corruptions and divisions of the churches: submissively, but earnestly tendered to the consideration of the soveraigne powers, magistrates, ministers, and people, that they may awake, and be up and doing in the execution of so much, as appeareth to be necessary as they are true to Christ, his Church and Gospel, and to their own and others souls, and to the peace and wellfare of the nations; and as they will answer the neglect to Christ, at their peril. / By Richard Baxter, an unworthy minister of Christ, that longeth to see the healing of the churches.	Baxter, Richard, 1615-1691.	1658 (1658)	Wing B1232; Thomason E2111_1; ESTC R209487	172,368	411

a_o carnal_a or_o careless_a or_o erroneous_a pastor_n all_o the_o church_n must_v be_v under_o a_o obligation_n to_o give_v their_o estate_n by_o way_n of_o relief_n to_o every_o one_o that_o he_o will_v put_v the_o name_n of_o a_o christian_a and_o church_n member_n upon_o unworthy_o then_o may_v he_o force_v they_o to_o maintain_v all_o the_o beggar_n and_o rogue_n about_o they_o though_o they_o be_v infidel_n and_o impious_a man_n i_o speak_v not_o of_o the_o common_a relief_n of_o the_o needy_a for_o that_o i_o know_v they_o owe_v to_o a_o infidel_n but_o of_o the_o special_a community_n which_o charity_n must_v make_v among_o the_o disciple_n of_o christ_n it_o be_v against_o all_o reason_n that_o a_o err_a or_o careless_a pastor_n shall_v thus_o command_v all_o the_o people_n estate_n by_o introduce_v such_o without_o their_o consent_n who_o they_o be_v bind_v thus_o to_o maintain_v 5._o yea_o indeed_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v in_o the_o saint_n a_o spirit_n of_o discern_v so_o that_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o all_o the_o church_n shall_v in_o their_o affection_n obey_v such_o a_o corrupt_a administratour_n by_o love_v all_o the_o notorious_a ungodly_a man_n as_o saint_n with_o the_o special_a love_n of_o brethren_n who_o he_o will_v careless_o or_o erroneous_o put_v in_o the_o place_n of_o saint_n i_o can_v possible_o love_v that_o man_n as_o a_o saint_n or_o disciple_n of_o christ_n that_o i_o be_o certain_a be_v his_o enemy_n and_o none_o such_o i_o conclude_v therefore_o that_o though_o the_o people_n be_v not_o church-governors_n by_o a_o vote_n that_o be_v a_o great_a error_n yet_o they_o have_v a_o judgement_n of_o discern_v according_a to_o which_o they_o must_v obey_v or_o reject_v their_o pastors_n administration_n and_o he_o that_o deny_v this_o and_o will_v have_v they_o yield_v a_o absolute_a obedience_n without_o try_v choose_v and_o refuse_v will_v not_o only_o make_v the_o pastor_n to_o be_v of_o a_o papal_a strain_n but_o will_v give_v they_o a_o jesuitical_a obedience_n above_o what_o the_o moderate_a papist_n give_v the_o pope_n and_o therefore_o see_v that_o ad_fw-la finem_fw-la there_o be_v a_o necessity_n that_o the_o people_n consent_n or_o else_o they_o can_v obey_v nor_o hold_v communion_n with_o the_o person_n therefore_o there_o be_v also_o the_o same_o necessity_n ad_fw-la finem_fw-la that_o they_o have_v satisfaction_n offer_v they_o and_o have_v either_o the_o cognisance_n of_o the_o profession_n and_o admission_n of_o the_o person_n or_o that_o they_o be_v satisfy_v in_o the_o fidelity_n of_o their_o pastor_n in_o administration_n and_o that_o he_o seek_v their_o consent_n or_o which_o be_v best_a that_o some_o choose_a person_n do_v represent_v they_o and_o be_v present_a at_o such_o profession_n with_o the_o pastor_n and_o the_o pastor_n and_o their_o own_o delegate_n together_o do_v acquaint_v the_o congregation_n of_o all_o that_o be_v admit_v and_o of_o their_o satisfactory_a prfession_n that_o they_o may_v hold_v communion_n with_o they_o this_o i_o speak_v of_o those_o which_o be_v very_o many_o that_o be_v fit_a for_o church-communion_n and_o yet_o through_o bashfulness_n or_o want_v of_o utterance_n be_v unable_a to_o make_v a_o public_a profession_n before_o all_o the_o choice_a christian_n that_o i_o have_v know_v have_v be_v such_o but_o those_o that_o be_v able_a shall_v rather_o in_o public_a make_v their_o own_o profession_n object_n but_o what_o if_o one_o part_n of_o the_o congregation_n approve_v of_o the_o person_n and_o profession_n and_o the_o other_o disallow_v it_o answ_n 1._o they_o be_v to_o be_v govern_v by_o the_o pastor_n 2._o and_o consult_v with_o the_o pastor_n of_o neighbour_n church●●_n in_o rule_n of_o great_a weight_n ae_v danger_n 3._o and_o the_o lesser_a part_n of_o the_o church_n in_o doubtful_a case_n and_o tolerable_a difference_n be_v to_o yield_v to_o the_o great_a part_n not_o as_o if_o a_o major_a vote_n have_v the_o government_n of_o the_o rest_n much_o less_o of_o their_o governor_n but_o in_o order_n to_o unity_n the_o few_o must_v submit_v quest_n but_o what_o if_o the_o people_n will_v have_v the_o pastor_n baptise_v confirm_v or_o introduce_v a_o open_a heretic_n or_o wicked_a person_n in_o his_o impenitency_n answ_n the_o pastor_n must_v obey_v god_n and_o refuse_v to_o obey_v they_o quest_n and_o what_o if_o the_o people_n think_v a_o man_n unfit_a who_o the_o pastor_n will_v approve_v and_o introduce_v answ_n 1._o he_o may_v admit_v he_o into_o the_o universal_a church_n notwithstanding_o their_o unjust_a refusal_n 2._o he_o have_v power_n to_o admit_v he_o into_o that_o particular_a church_n against_o their_o unjust_a dissent_n as_o he_o be_v the_o ruler_n of_o the_o church_n and_o the_o administratour_n of_o the_o ordinance_n 3._o he_o have_v authority_n to_o persuade_v and_o command_v they_o from_o christ_n to_o hold_v communion_n with_o the_o person_n and_o do_v their_o duty_n to_o he_o which_o if_o they_o do_v not_o they_o commit_v a_o double_a sin_n one_o of_o unjustice_n and_o uncharitableness_n in_o a_o causeless_a reject_v of_o a_o member_n of_o christ_n and_o another_o of_o disobedience_n against_o the_o five_o commandment_n 4._o but_o yet_o the_o pastor_n can_v force_v the_o people_n to_o obey_v their_o advice_n and_o command_v nor_o effectual_o procure_v it_o perhaps_o 5._o and_o therefore_o their_o forementioned_a power_n be_v not_o always_o to_o be_v exercise_v for_o it_o be_v in_o vain_a to_o use_v a_o mean_n that_o will_v rather_o hinder_v the_o end_n then_o attain_v to_o it_o and_o so_o be_v at_o that_o time_n no_o mean_n sometime_o the_o pastor_n may_v see_v just_a cause_n to_o exercise_v all_o this_o power_n and_o execute_v his_o part_n of_o church_n communion_n with_o the_o person_n in_o administer_a the_o ordinance_n to_o he_o and_o leave_v the_o people_n answerable_a to_o god_n for_o refuse_v

clear_v himself_o by_o disallow_v they_o in_o their_o sin_n and_o reprove_v they_o for_o it_o and_o leave_v the_o blame_n on_o they_o and_o then_o in_o prudence_n to_o forbear_v the_o intrude_a
