power_n against_o christ_n power_n nor_o many_o congregation_n against_o one_o i_o say_v suppose_v these_o thing_n be_v so_o then_o be_v it_o any_o question_n whether_o such_o congregation_n may_v act_v independent_o when_o as_o we_o know_v that_o company_n do_v act_v independent_a of_o their_o fellow-company_n and_o corporation_n in_o the_o country_n do_v act_v independent_a of_o other_o neighbour-corporation_n indeed_o they_o act_v not_o independent_o incontrollable_o of_o the_o high_a name_n above_o they_o but_o a_o company_n be_v not_o indict_v by_o a_o company_n a_o corporation_n by_o a_o corporation_n until_o therefore_o you_o shall_v prove_v that_o church_n be_v not_o coordinate_a or_o that_o there_o be_v high_a name_n than_o church_n and_o church-presbyter_n or_o that_o the_o same_o person_n be_v in_o high_a place_n and_o office_n in_o a_o classis_fw-la then_o in_o their_o own_o particular_a sphere_n and_o congregation_n which_o if_o it_o be_v so_o then_o why_o shall_v they_o not_o have_v suitable_a name_n that_o may_v import_v the_o superiority_n of_o the_o relation_n even_o as_o the_o common-council-man_n though_o they_o be_v master_n and_o member_n of_o the_o several_a company_n yet_o when_o join_v in_o a_o common_a council_n they_o be_v not_o call_v the_o master_n of_o the_o company_n of_o the_o city_n but_o by_o a_o distinct_a name_n of_o interest_n and_o honour_n the_o court_n of_o alderman_n and_o common_a council_n until_o i_o say_v you_o prove_v these_o your_o simile_n will_v lie_v in_o the_o dirt_n i_o know_v we_o have_v such_o name_n as_o class_n and_o synod_n adapt_v and_o adopt_v to_o this_o ecclesiastical_a hierarchy_n but_o they_o be_v only_o jure_fw-la humano_fw-la will_v not_o pass_v with_o we_o for_o ground_n of_o authority_n or_o superiority_n in_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v call_v by_o they_o next_o after_o your_o simile_n you_o come_v to_o your_o question_n and_o to_o divide_v your_o position_n into_o four_o branch_n which_o yet_o you_o fall_v off_o from_o again_o by_o a_o digression_n of_o sixteen_o or_o seventeen_o page_n long_o to_o prove_v viz._n that_o all_o the_o church_n we_o read_v of_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v pregnant_a church_n or_o accumulate_v of_o many_o govern_v by_o a_o common_a presbytery_n which_o labour_v you_o may_v have_v save_v if_o you_o have_v hope_n to_o make_v good_a the_o four_o branch_n propound_v two_o of_o which_o be_v that_o the_o mother-church_n be_v such_o a_o church_n and_o so_o govern_v and_o second_o that_o all_o other_o church_n be_v to_o be_v govern_v as_o that_o be_v at_o least_o you_o may_v have_v keep_v this_o for_o a_o reserve_n if_o they_o have_v fail_v but_o beside_o that_o you_o prove_v neither_o part_n of_o your_o assertion_n viz._n either_o that_o they_o be_v aggregate_a church_n or_o that_o the_o presbytery_n to_o which_o they_o be_v commit_v be_v a_o joint_a presbytery_n and_o not_o each_o church_n to_o its_o particular_a for_o those_o many_o scripture_n you_o quote_v do_v neither_o of_o themselves_o sound_v so_o nor_o for_o aught_o i_o see_v do_v you_o put_v such_o a_o twang_n into_o they_o you_o commit_v these_o error_n by_o the_o way_n 1._o you_o impose_v upon_o your_o reader_n without_o any_o authority_n or_o reason_n that_o diotrephes_n be_v a_o independent_a and_o that_o be_v the_o quarrel_n joh._n john_n have_v against_o he_o and_o that_o his_o church_n be_v in_o the_o faction_n with_o he_o when_o as_o we_o have_v no_o mention_n of_o his_o church_n at_o all_o nor_o of_o his_o prate_n against_o the_o presbytery_n and_o for_o the_o crime_n object_v of_o seek_v the_o pre-eminence_n if_o the_o lord_n keep_v we_o that_o the_o world_n be_v never_o able_a to_o charge_v we_o with_o a_o likely_a fault_n we_o shall_v not_o be_v afraid_a to_o make_v our_o accuser_n our_o judge_n alas_o our_o offence_n be_v that_o we_o be_v against_o pre-eminence_n 2._o you_o confident_o exclude_v the_o people_n from_o have_v any_o hand_n in_o the_o government_n in_o which_o you_o account_v the_o solve_n of_o difficulty_n in_o doctrine_n as_o well_o as_o other_o matter_n to_o be_v a_o part_n when_o yet_o in_o the_o place_n quote_v especial_o and_o most_o express_o act._n 15._o 22._o the_o interest_n of_o the_o brethren_n and_o the_o whole_a church_n be_v speak_v of_o not_o in_fw-la actu_fw-la signato_fw-la only_a but_o in_fw-la actu_fw-la exercito_fw-la 3._o pag._n 18._o you_o make_v the_o name_n of_o pastor_n and_o shepherd_n when_o apply_v to_o church-officer_n to_o import_v that_o authority_n power_n and_o government_n as_o they_o do_v when_o apply_v to_o magistrate_n at_o least_o you_o make_v the_o symbolise_n of_o church-officer_n with_o civil_a magistrate_n in_o those_o name_n a_o argument_n of_o communicate_v with_o they_o in_o such_o a_o kind_n of_o power_n as_o they_o have_v though_o not_o the_o same_o degree_n but_o how_o weak_o let_v all_o man_n judge_v 4._o pag._n 19_o you_o exact_v the_o way_n of_o god_n by_o the_o line_n and_o rule_v of_o human_a reason_n and_o will_v give_v no_o more_o to_o a_o institution_n than_o it_o will_v go_v for_o in_o that_o market_n 5._o in_o the_o same_o page_n you_o put_v such_o a_o objection_n upon_o the_o independent_n about_o require_v miracle_n as_o the_o condition_n and_o qualification_n of_o elder_n now_o adays_o else_o not_o to_o be_v acknowledge_v elder_n as_o i_o be_o confident_a the_o congregational_a judgement_n will_v not_o nor_o ever_o do_v they_o own_o what_o ever_o some_o other_o independent_n for_o it_o be_v a_o generical_a name_n appliable_a to_o whosoever_o the_o inventor_n of_o it_o please_v and_o more_o proper_o to_o some_o other_o than_o they_o that_o be_v common_o call_v by_o it_o may_v do_v but_o that_o it_o may_v be_v a_o scandal_n to_o all_o of_o the_o name_n you_o do_v very_o wise_o and_o take_v the_o right_a course_n not_o to_o name_v the_o book_n or_o author_n where_o you_o find_v that_o objection_n pag._n 29._o you_o lure_v after_o your_o reader_n who_o may_v very_o well_o be_v turn_v his_o back_n upon_o your_o discourse_n that_o now_o you_o come_v in_o order_n to_o prove_v the_o four_o proposition_n but_o you_o keep_v not_o this_o order_n long_o the_o first_o proposition_n be_v that_o there_o be_v many_o congregation_n and_o several_a assembly_n in_o the_o church_n of_o jerusalem_n etc._n etc._n for_o the_o proof_n whereof_o you_o bring_v the_o multitude_n of_o convert_v to_o john_n baptism_n the_o people_n of_o jerusalem_n all_o of_o they_o and_o all_o judea_n etc._n etc._n whereby_o say_v you_o they_o all_o become_v christian_n or_o member_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n for_o say_v you_o john_n baptism_n be_v into_o jesus_n christ_n and_o the_o very_a same_o with_o that_o of_o the_o apostle_n we_o answer_v to_o your_o reason_n 1._o john_n baptism_n be_v into_o christ_n but_o it_o be_v in_o christum_fw-la moriturum_fw-la not_o in_fw-la christum_fw-la mortuum_fw-la 2._o to_o say_v it_o be_v the_o same_o with_o christ_n and_o the_o apostle_n be_v flat_o 25._o contrary_a to_o the_o assertion_n of_o john_n himself_o and_o the_o apostle_n i_o baptise_v you_o with_o water_n say_v he_o but_o there_o come_v one_o after_o i_o who_o shall_v baptise_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o with_o fire_n 3._o therefore_o now_o by_o john_n baptism_n they_o be_v not_o all_o make_a christian_n no_o more_o than_o the_o body_n of_o the_o jew_n before_o john_n be_v turn_v christian_n by_o be_v baptise_v in_o the_o red_a sea_n etc._n etc._n for_o they_o be_v baptise_v into_o christ_n by_o their_o baptism_n i_o deny_v not_o but_o this_o baptism_n 3._o of_o john_n be_v to_o prepare_v man_n for_o christ_n and_o do_v bear_v a_o more_o immediate_a relation_n to_o such_o a_o work_n than_o any_o ordinance_n before_o but_o it_o do_v not_o make_v they_o absolute_a christian_n it_o do_v not_o absolve_v and_o perfect_v the_o new_a church_n i_o mean_v not_o so_o far_o as_o that_o ordinance_n of_o baptism_n be_v to_o do_v afterwards_o 4._o the_o learned_a and_o judicious_a know_v that_o john_n be_v but_o the_o messenger_n before_o christ_n face_n and_o his_o baptism_n be_v but_o as_o the_o 1._o stream_n of_o light_n in_o the_o heaven_n before_o the_o day_n and_o he_o do_v only_o bring_v and_o restore_v all_o thing_n to_o their_o legal_a perfection_n by_o water_n the_o element_n of_o the_o law_n but_o christ_n jesus_n he_o come_v and_o baptise_v with_o fire_n consummate_v all_o thing_n with_o this_o transform_a powerful_a element_n even_o his_o spirit_n 5._o so_o far_o be_v it_o that_o all_o that_o be_v baptise_v by_o john_n be_v make_v christian_n that_o even_o john_n own_o disciple_n who_o have_v the_o best_a and_o frequent_a instruction_n not_o only_o hesitate_v but_o be_v downright_o *_o 26._o scandalize_v at_o the_o true_a messiah_n and_o other_o do_v under_o that_o form_n of_o john_n
