to_o this_o be_v in_o the_o first_o place_n negative_o i_o do_v not_o enter_v thereinto_o for_o to_o be_v save_v thereby_o or_o for_o to_o seek_v for_o jesus_n christ_n as_o though_o i_o want_v

by_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o deny_v either_o of_o they_o and_o prove_v against_o they_o if_o you_o be_v able_a again_o your_o second_o argument_n to_o prove_v the_o church_n of_o england_n a_o true_a church_n be_v this_o that_o ministry_n which_o do_v accomplish_v the_o same_o and_o which_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o apostle_n do_v must_v needs_o be_v a_o true_a

the_o ministry_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n must_v needs_o be_v true_a but_o to_o prove_v your_o argument_n you_o bring_v not_o one_o place_n of_o scripture_n but_o take_v that_o for_o grant_v which_o i_o confident_o think_v neither_o you_o nor_o none_o in_o the_o ch._n of_o engl._n be_v ever_o able_a to_o prove_v therefore_o i_o absolute_o &_o in_o every_o respect_n deny_v your_o arg._n &_o two_o manner_n of_o way_n prove_v against_o it_o 1._o i_o will_v prove_v that_o if_o the_o ministry_n in_o the_o ch._n of_o engl._n do_v accomplish_v the_o same_o end_n that_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o apostle_n do_v yet_o for_o all_o that_o that_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o prove_v it_o a_o true_a ministry_n for_o to_o judge_v the_o cause_n by_o the_o effect_n be_v a_o leaden_a and_o false_a rule_n 2._o i_o will_v prove_v that_o the_o ministry_n in_o engl._n do_v not_o accomplish_v the_o same_o end_n that_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o apostl_n do_v &_o therefore_o by_o your_o own_o arg._n be_v no_o true_a ministry_n now_o for_o the_o first_o of_o these_o which_o answer_v the_o major_a of_o your_o arg._n i_o say_v it_o have_v be_v and_o still_o may_v be_v possible_a for_o a_o man_n to_o accomplish_v the_o same_o end_n that_o you_o here_o speak_v of_o namely_o to_o be_v a_o instrument_n to_o bring_v god_n people_n to_o the_o manifestation_n of_o faith_n &_o also_o to_o build_v they_o up_o &_o yet_o be_v no_o true_a officer_n or_o minister_n in_o the_o ch._n of_o god_n &_o i_o prove_v it_o out_o of_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o which_o we_o read_v that_o when_o the_o ch._n begin_v to_o increase_v saul_n raise_v a_o great_a persecution_n against_o it_o upon_o which_o all_o the_o brethren_n viz._n the_o member_n of_o the_o ch._n be_v scatter_v abroad_o &_o they_o go_v up_o &_o down_o preach_v the_o word_n act_n 8.3_o but_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o they_o stay_v still_o at_o jerusalem_n verse_n 1._o now_o all_o those_o that_o be_v scatter_v abroad_o be_v not_o true_a official_a minister_n for_o they_o be_v but_o layman_n according_a to_o your_o distinction_n in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n yet_o divers_a of_o they_o who_o be_v no_o true_a officer_n but_o brother_n disciple_n or_o private_a man_n as_o you_o call_v they_o yet_o they_o preach_v the_o word_n to_o the_o gentile_n there_o &_o beget_v by_o their_o preach_a maany_n of_o they_o to_o the_o faith_n for_o the_o text_n say_v the_o hand_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v with_o they_o and_o a_o great_a number_n of_o they_o believe_v and_o then_o come_v barnabas_n from_o jeausalem_n who_o be_v yet_o no_o true_a officer_n in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n be_v as_o yet_o uncalled_a to_o his_o apostleship_n and_o he_o confirm_v and_o strengthen_v and_o more_o full_o build_v they_o up_o in_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n and_o in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o way_n of_o god_n also_o aquilah_n and_o his_o wife_n priscilla_n do_v further_o instruct_v and_o build_v up_o that_o eloquent_a man_n apollo_n act._n 18.26_o also_o there_o be_v certain_a woman_n that_o labour_v with_o paul_n in_o the_o gospel_n phil._n 4.3_o so_o that_o here_o you_o see_v and_o i_o have_v prove_v it_o that_o people_n may_v be_v call_v to_o the_o manifesttaion_n of_o eaith_n and_o further_o build_v up_o by_o those_o that_o be_v no_o true_a officer_n or_o minister_n in_o the_o church_n of_o chirst_n but_o if_o your_o argument_n be_v true_a then_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o all_o those_o man_n yea_o and_o the_o woman_n too_o be_v true_a officer_n and_o minister_n in_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n because_o they_o be_v instrument_n of_o bring_v god_n people_n to_o the_o manifestation_n of_o faith_n and_o further_o build_v they_o up_o but_o your_o argument_n be_v rot_v and_o unsound_a and_o fall_v here_o flat_a to_o the_o ground_n and_o therefore_o if_o i_o shall_v grant_v it_o which_o i_o do_v not_o that_o your_o minister_n by_o their_o ministry_n do_v accomplish_v the_o same_o end_n that_o the_o apostle_n by_o their_o ministry_n do_v yet_o this_o will_v not_o be_v sufficient_a to_o prove_v they_o true_a officer_n or_o minister_n for_o the_o excecution_n of_o a_o office_n do_v not_o prove_v a_o officer_n but_o only_o a_o true_a and_o lawful_a call_n into_o the_o office_n which_o all_o your_o priest_n and_o minister_n in_o england_n want_v and_o therefore_o be_v no_o true_a officer_n nor_o no_o true_a minister_n of_o jesus_n christ_n for_o you_o know_v that_o a_o king_n have_v many_o in_o his_o kingdom_n beside_o himself_o that_o do_v those_o action_n &_o

he_o to_o do_v such_o action_n without_o a_o lawful_a authority_n give_v and_o receive_v from_o he_o they_o may_v loose_v their_o life_n for_o the_o do_v of_o they_o but_o now_o if_o your_o argument_n be_v true_a that_o all_o those_o man_n that_o be_v mean_n or_o instrumenst_n to_o bring_v god_n people_n to_o the_o manifestation_n of_o faith_n and_o obedience_n to_o the_o law_n and_o will_n of_o christ_n be_v true_a officer_n and_o minister_n of_o christ_n it_o will_v follow_v by_o the_o same_o argument_n that_o all_o those_o man_n that_o do_v the_o action_n of_o a_o king_n or_o accomplish_v the_o same_o end_n that_o king_n by_o their_o action_n do_v accomplish_v be_v true_a king_n but_o so_o to_o conclude_v in_o england_n be_v little_o better_a than_o high_a treason_n therefore_o your_o argument_n be_v erroneous_a and_o false_a and_o have_v not_o validity_n in_o it_o for_o if_o so_o be_v you_o will_v have_v their_o administration_n to_o prove_v the_o lawfulness_n of_o their_o
