difference_n i_o confess_v that_o there_o be_v three_o act_n of_o separation_n which_o the_o magistrate_n may_v do_v 1._o he_o may_v command_v bishop_n and_o pastor_n to_o do_v their_o office_n faithful_o in_o excommunicate_v notorious_a impenitent_a criminal_o 2._o when_o they_o be_v excommunicate_v he_o may_v forbid_v they_o intrude_a into_o the_o church_n 3._o he_o may_v judge_v the_o flagitious_a to_o be_v stigmatise_v or_o be_v take_v as_o outlawed_a and_o forbid_v man_n to_o be_v familiar_a with_o they_o but_o the_o power_n of_o the_o church_n be_v a_o power_n of_o judge_v what_o individual_a person_n be_v fit_a or_o unfit_a for_o baptism_n the_o eucharist_n church_n entrance_n and_o church_n communion_n be_v the_o church_n be_v the_o porch_n of_o heaven_n and_o as_o a_o preparation_n to_o the_o final_a judgement_n and_o it_o be_v not_o another_o sort_n but_o this_o sort_n which_o the_o lay-chancellor_n pretend_v to_o exercise_v in_o the_o bishop_n name_n i_o have_v be_v think_v by_o some_o to_o give_v myself_o too_o much_o to_o magistrate_n in_o church-matter_n but_o i_o be_o far_o from_o your_o mind_n for_o the_o reason_n follow_v 1._o it_o be_v notorious_a that_o in_o scripture_n christ_n have_v institute_v a_o special_a office_n to_o use_v these_o key_n and_o do_v this_o work_n which_o he_o will_v not_o have_v do_v have_v he_o leave_v it_o common_a to_o any_o other_o 2._o the_o power_n of_o the_o key_n be_v so_o much_o of_o the_o essential_a comprehensive_a title_n of_o that_o office_n as_o that_o it_o be_v nullify_v when_o it_o be_v make_v common_a 3._o if_o this_o part_n may_v be_v do_v by_o the_o layman_n or_o magistrate_n no_o man_n can_v give_v a_o reason_n why_o any_o of_o the_o rest_n may_v not_o even_o not_o only_o to_o be_v the_o state_v teacher_n of_o the_o church_n and_o their_o guide_n in_o worship_n but_o also_o baptise_v and_o administer_a the_o lord_n supper_n as_o it_o be_v more_o to_o be_v the_o lawmaker_n than_o the_o crier_n and_o the_o judge_n than_o the_o marshal_n so_o it_o be_v more_o to_o decree_v who_o shall_v have_v the_o sacrament_n than_o bare_o to_o deliver_v it_o they_o which_o the_o deacon_n may_v do_v and_o so_o we_o shall_v have_v not_o only_o lay-baptizers_a but_o lay-preacher_n lay-administer_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n or_o by_o contradiction_n lay-priest_n 4._o you_o plead_v for_o conformity_n and_o may_v easy_o know_v that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n abhor_v this_o opinion_n 5._o when_o king_n henry_n the_o eight_o be_v call_v head_n of_o the_o church_n to_o avoid_v the_o papist_n calumny_n queen_n elizabeth_n and_o king_n james_n have_v publish_v their_o disclaim_n of_o that_o power_n of_o word_n and_o sacrament_n call_v that_o of_o the_o key_n and_o if_o my_o ear_n deceive_v i_o not_o i_o have_v hear_v our_o present_a king_n profess_v the_o same_o 6._o the_o judgement_n and_o practice_n of_o the_o church_n of_o all_o age_n and_o place_n since_o christ_n be_v against_o you_o i_o think_v helvetia_n itself_o not_o except_v and_o shall_v this_o be_v nothing_o to_o you_o who_o call_v on_o we_o to_o reverence_v the_o old_a conformist_n 7._o the_o reason_n of_o the_o institution_n full_o satisfy_v i_o it_o be_v not_o meet_v so_o great_a a_o trust_n shall_v be_v place_v in_o unfit_a man_n as_o in_o case_n of_o ordination_n it_o must_v be_v man_n that_o be_v able_a to_o try_v the_o person_n as_o to_o skill_n and_o life_n that_o must_v be_v trust_v with_o so_o weighty_a a_o business_n and_o also_o such_o that_o can_v have_v leisure_n to_o attend_v it_o and_o therefore_o as_o a_o office_n be_v empower_v for_o it_o and_o separate_v to_o it_o lest_o it_o miscarry_v so_o as_o to_o baptism_n absolution_n excommunication_n it_o must_v be_v do_v by_o man_n 1._o that_o be_v capable_a of_o full_a acquaintance_n with_o the_o person_n witness_n and_o cause_n 2._o and_o that_o can_v try_v and_o judge_v of_o it_o 3._o and_o especial_o of_o the_o person_n faith_n and_o repentance_n for_o it_o be_v on_o these_o that_o the_o sentence_n must_v pass_v no_o baptism_n without_o faith_n no_o excommunication_n without_o obstinate_a impenitence_n no_o absolution_n without_o repentance_n 4._o it_o must_v be_v by_o man_n fit_a to_o exhort_v they_o to_o faith_n and_o repentance_n and_o confute_v their_o error_n and_o pray_v for_o they_o that_o god_n will_v give_v they_o faith_n and_o repentance_n 5._o and_o it_o be_v so_o great_a a_o part_n of_o the_o world_n and_o all_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n that_o this_o or_o much_o of_o this_o must_v be_v do_v for_o that_o reason_n show_v it_o needful_a that_o it_o be_v make_v the_o work_n of_o a_o great_a and_o special_a office_n and_o if_o so_o than_o those_o man_n that_o do_v it_o 1._o must_v be_v try_v as_o ordain_v minister_n be_v 2._o and_o ordain_v to_o the_o office_n of_o do_v it_o 3._o and_o profess_v to_o do_v it_o as_o such_o officer_n 4._o and_o not_o lacerate_v that_o office_n and_o change_v it_o by_o take_v a_o part_n of_o it_o and_o leave_v the_o rest_n and_o so_o they_o must_v be_v no_o layman_n i_o can_v with_o that_o you_o have_v study_v and_o consult_v better_a before_o with_o such_o more_o than_o erastian_n singularity_n you_o have_v plead_v for_o so_o dangerous_a a_o thing_n as_o church-levelling_a or_o so_o much_o overthrow_n of_o the_o necessary_a sacred_a office_n and_o set_v yourself_o against_o the_o judgement_n and_o practice_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n but_o all_o man_n have_v their_o hour_n of_o temptation_n and_o all_o do_v not_o overcome_v §_o 5._o you_o say_v the_o excommunication_n be_v of_o no_o force_n till_o publish_v by_o the_o parish-minister_n who_o have_v power_n if_o he_o please_v to_o make_v it_o his_o text_n and_o declare_v the_o nature_n use_n and_o end_n etc._n etc._n ans._n 1._o i_o have_v rather_o have_v a_o better_a text._n 2._o it_o be_v of_o force_n if_o another_o publish_v it_o 3._o it_o
