we_o ought_v not_o to_o regard_v it_o four_o the_o very_a next_o age_n after_o the_o apostle_n produce_v many_o gross_a error_n and_o superstition_n as_o eusebius_n tell_v we_o and_o as_o the_o

work_v etc._n etc._n which_o mystery_n be_v that_o of_o prelacy_n as_o appear_v clear_o from_o that_o text_n where_o the_o man_n of_o sin_n who_o exalt_v himself_o over_o the_o church_n be_v set_v forth_o as_o the_o head_n and_o top_n of_o that_o mystery_n namely_o of_o the_o hierarchy_n which_o be_v and_o have_v be_v the_o l●rna_n or_o source_n of_o all_o iniquity_n and_o jerome_n who_o live_v in_o the_o four_o century_n say_v that_o prelation_n over_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o minister_n be_v a_o thing_n of_o human_a presumption_n and_o not_o of_o divine_a ordination_n and_o though_o it_o be_v first_o devise_v for_o a_o remedy_n against_o schism_n yet_o it_o prove_v in_o time_n the_o great_a schism_n that_o ever_o be_v namely_o the_o schism_n of_o antichrist_n and_o all_o his_o crew_n of_o prelate_n from_o christ_n the_o hierarchy_n be_v a_o mere_a enmity_n against_o christ_n kingdom_n between_o which_o two_o there_o be_v as_o great_a a_o chasma_fw-la or_o gulf_n as_o between_o paradise_n and_o hell_n case_n iii_o but_o see_v episcopacy_n be_v of_o very_o great_a and_o reverend_a antiquity_n as_o they_o say_v be_v it_o not_o best_o to_o reduce_v the_o present_a prelacy_n to_o the_o ancient_a condition_n of_o bishop_n in_o the_o primitive_a church_n no_o unless_o they_o can_v prove_v these_o bishop_n to_o be_v such_o as_o god_n word_n allow_v we_o reverence_v that_o antiquity_n which_o be_v join_v with_o verity_n but_o antiquity_n without_o verity_n be_v oldness_n of_o error_n as_o say_v old_a tertullian_n when_o one_o ask_v christ_n 3._o if_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o a_o man_n to_o put_v away_o his_o wife_n for_o every_o cause_n christ_n give_v no_o indulgence_n at_o all_o but_o reduce_v that_o ancient_a abuse_n among_o the_o jew_n to_o the_o primitive_a institution_n of_o god_n in_o paradise_n second_o the_o matter_n in_o hand_n be_v of_o high_a moment_n than_o to_o be_v regulate_v by_o any_o human_a ordinance_n or_o reduce_v to_o any_o antiquity_n other_o than_o the_o scripture_n itself_o for_o the_o thing_n here_o in_o question_n concern_v no_o less_o than_o the_o honour_n of_o christ_n kingdom_n and_o his_o royal_a prerogative_n in_o the_o government_n of_o his_o kingdom_n as_o we_o shall_v further_o see_v three_o that_o which_o be_v original_o vicious_a can_v by_o tract_n of_o time_n be_v make_v good_a custom_n we_o see_v have_v not_o make_v prelate_n better_a but_o worse_a and_o worse_o in_o all_o age_n a_o evil_a egg_n bring_v forth_o a_o evil_a bird_n and_o christ_n say_v 17._o a_o evil_a tree_n can_v bring_v forth_o good_a fruit_n and_o every_o tree_n that_o bring_v not_o forth_o good_a fruit_n shall_v be_v hew_v down_o and_o cast_v into_o the_o fire_n and_o every_o plant_n which_o my_o heavenly_a father_n have_v not_o

therefore_o the_o tree_n of_o prelacy_n be_v original_o and_o in_o its_o own_o nature_n evil_a as_o have_v no_o foundation_n in_o scripture_n as_o be_v none_o of_o god_n plant_n it_o ought_v to_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v a_o pattern_n for_o its_o antiquity_n as_o it_o ought_v utter_o to_o be_v root_v up_o as_o be_v a_o novelty_n and_o not_o antiquity_n for_o that_o only_o be_v true_o currant_n which_o be_v ancient_o true_a case_n iv._o but_o if_o the_o prelacy_n be_v pluck_v up_o and_o quite_o take_v away_o what_o government_n shall_v be_v leave_v for_o the_o church_n of_o god_n for_o resolution_n whereof_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v these_o necessary_a thing_n first_o that_o that_o government_n alone_o be_v set_v forth_o which_o christ_n himself_o have_v leave_v we_o in_o his_o word_n for_o who_o but_o the_o king_n and_o lawgiver_n of_o his_o church_n and_o kingdom_n of_o grace_n shall_v give_v law_n and_o appoint_v how_o it_o shall_v be_v govern_v second_o we_o be_v not_o to_o think_v that_o christ_n who_o be_v the_o lawgiver_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v not_o also_o the_o lawgiver_n of_o the_o new_a and_o have_v leave_v we_o sufficient_a direction_n therein_o for_o the_o government_n of_o his_o people_n both_o for_o faith_n and_o manner_n now_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n all_o must_v be_v do_v according_a to_o the_o pattterne_n show_v to_o moses_n in_o the_o mount_n even_o to_o the_o least_o pin_n in_o the_o tabernacle_n so_o also_o for_o the_o temple_n and_o the_o form_n thereof_o david_n receive_v all_o in_o write_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n 1_o chr._n 28._o 12._o 19_o no_o place_n be_v leave_v nor_o power_n give_v to_o man_n to_o invent_v any_o thing_n or_o impose_v the_o least_o ceremony_n in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n so_o in_o the_o

righteousness_n that_o the_o man_n of_o god_n may_v be_v perfect_a thorough_o furnish_v unto_o every_o good_a work_n case_n v._o but_o we_o see_v great_a difference_n in_o man_n opinion_n concerning_o that_o form_n of_o government_n which_o christ_n have_v leave_v in_o his_o word_n what_o then_o shall_v we_o do_v in_o this_o case_n or_o what_o be_v that_o form_n of_o government_n which_o we_o shall_v pitch_v upon_o for_o answer_v hereunto_o first_o however_o all_o such_o government_n as_o be_v contrary_a unto_o and_o express_o condemn_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n such_o as_o the_o hierarchy_n be_v aught_o in_o no_o case_n to_o be_v admit_v or_o maintain_v second_o as_o we_o can_v doubt_v but_o that_o christ_n have_v leave_v a_o exact_a prescript_n form_n of_o government_n in_o his_o word_n for_o the_o church_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n so_o we_o ought_v diligent_o in_o the_o use_n of_o all_o good_a mean_n to_o inquire_v after_o that_o good_a old_a way_n and_o to_o find_v as_o much_o of_o it_o as_o we_o can_v and_o to_o follow_v what_o we_o know_v three_o if_o after_o all_o our_o search_n there_o be_v not_o a_o full_a agreement_n in_o all_o godly_a man_n judgement_n in_o some_o thing_n which_o seem_v somewhat_o more_o difficult_a or_o doubtful_a we_o must_v not_o therefore_o either_o reject_v so_o much_o as_o be_v clear_a or_o yet_o break_v communion_n and_o

for_o answer_v hereunto_o first_o in_o general_a there_o be_v no_o need_n at_o all_o of_o any_o such_o officer_n in_o the_o church_n as_o be_v not_o of_o any_o divine_a institution_n as_o prelate_n be_v not_o as_o aforesaid_a yea_o such_o officer_n in_o stead_n of_o any_o profitable_a usefulness_n be_v most_o unprofitable_a and_o pernicious_a as_o the_o lord_n say_v to_o false_a prophet_n 32._o
