Lawes Offices needfull for the same but hath appoynted a certaine Minissterie heir on earth graced with giftes an with an calling accordingly with certaine lawes limitting their functiō and Gubernation and therefore let no man thinke that Christ hath left his Kirk to be ruled at the lust and arbitrement of men whatsoever Col 2. 18. Item what is of Christ that is to be receaved and that quhilk is of the Anti-Christ is to be rejected Thirdly this Gubernation of the Kirke with Offices Functions and allpoynts necessary for accomplishment therof is set downe in the written word of God the onely square rule of Doctrine Discipline within Christ his Kirke apt and able to make the man of God perfect to every good worke 2. Tim 3. 16. 17. whereupon this followeth that whatsoever is prescrived in this word is to be followed and no prescription can haue place against it Item it followeth that the Lawes of the Goverment of the Church and Offices and Functions thereof are not changable and imperfect onlesse we will say that the scripture is imperfect or Christ his Kirke quhilk is his Bodie is imperfect in respect of the Constitution thereof we weil say that the estate of the Kirke of the New Testament is inferiour to the estate of the Kirk of the Old Testament quhilk receaved the whole Ordinancss and Lawes by Moses from the mouth of God quhilk Moses although he was great with God yet he was but ane Minister Num. 12. 7.

But so it is that no faithfull man will admitt those inconveniences and therefore it must stand that the word of God conteineth althinges needfull for the Governement of the Kirke quhilk is the kingdome of Christ Iesus heir on Earth so that whatsoever may be alledged by man for Kirke Covernement without the warrāt of the word as easily is it repelled as alleadged Now let us proceede and learne of the scripture what is sayd therin anent this Kirke To this Kirk excellent glorie is attributed every where in the scripture If you will consider either the Head of this Kirk the Bodie or members For the Head King Lord of this Kirk the Sonne of God Christ Iesus is the Prince of peace psal 72. 3. 7.
