A88083	Erastus Junior. Or, A fatal blovv to the clergies pretensions to divine right. In a solid demonstration, by principles, forms of ordination, canon-laws, acts and ordinances of Parliament, and other publique acts, instruments, records, and proceedings, owned by themselves, that no bishop, nor minister, (prelatical, or Presbyterian) nor presbytery (classical, or national) hath any right or authority to preach, ... in this nation, from Christ, but onely from the Parliament. In two parts: the one demonstrating it to an episcopal, the other to a Presbyterian minister. By Josiah Web, Gent. a serious detester of the dregs of the Antichristian hierarchy yet remaining among us.	Lewgar, John, 1602-1665.	1660 (1660)	Wing L1831; Thomason E1010_11; ESTC R202720	19,588	24

it_o that_o you_o have_v none_o from_o christ_n but_o only_o from_o the_o parliament_n by_o your_o mission_n i_o thus_o make_v good_a if_o he_o who_o give_v you_o your_o mission_n have_v no_o

but_o he_o who_o give_v you_o your_o mission_n have_v no_o authority_n from_o christ_n but_o only_a from_o the_o parliament_n to_o give_v it_o you_o therefore_o you_o have_v no_o authority_n from_o christ_n but_o only_a from_o the_o parliament_n by_o your_o mission_n the_o sequel_n of_o the_o major_n be_v evident_a in_o the_o term_n the_o minor_a be_v thus_o prove_v if_o william_n lawd_n have_v

he_o be_v archbishop_n of_o canterbury_n therefore_o he_o have_v no_o authority_n from_o christ_n but_o only_a from_o the_o parliament_n to_o give_v you_o mission_n the_o sequel_n of_o the_o major_a i_o can_v suppose_v will_v be_v deny_v because_o no_o third_n ordinary_a way_n be_v imaginable_a and_o you_o can_v say_v he_o have_v it_o in_o both_o respect_n joint_o if_o as_o will_v appear_v in_o

yet_o as_o they_o be_v single_a presbyter_n they_o have_v no_o authority_n so_o much_o as_o to_o ordain_v and_o much_o less_o to_o give_v mission_n but_o only_o as_o they_o be_v associate_v into_o a_o

or_o commissioner_n of_o the_o parliament_n which_o it_o be_v by_o accident_n that_o any_o of_o they_o be_v presbyter_n this_o appear_v first_o because_o for_o associate_a the_o first_o presbytery_n there_o be_v no_o other_o imaginable_a ordinary_a authority_n then_o in_o the_o land_n but_o that_o of_o the_o parliament_n and_o if_o you_o will_v say_v the_o first_o be_v associate_v by_o christ_n
