be_v not_o the_o call_n of_o man_n but_o of_o god_n through_o the_o ministry_n of_o man_n so_o that_o this_o separation_n of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o a_o inward_a call_n from_o the_o outward_a be_v not_o only_o absurd_a but_o confirm_v the_o anabaptist_n which_o boast_v of_o a_o inward_a call_n where_o no_o call_n of_o the_o church_n go_v before_o cart._n 2._o rep_n to_o whitg_n 1._o part_n p._n

do_v they_o overthrow_v any_o substantial_a point_n of_o faith_n the_o apostle_n paul_n notwithstanding_o do_v rejoice_v when_o some_o preach_v christ_n out_o of_o envy_n so_o although_o they_o

may_v be_v lawful_a in_o a_o man_n family_n but_o not_o in_o a_o church_n for_o as_o there_o be_v no_o member_n of_o the_o body_n of_o jesus_n christ_n but_o be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n of_o the_o

nature_n public_a gift_n of_o a_o public_a spirit_n for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o whole_a body_n and_o so_o though_o they_o be_v member_n of_o one_o body_n and_o be_v to_o be_v assistant_n one_o to_o another_o in_o that_o body_n yet_o can_v these_o member_n perform_v the_o duty_n of_o each_o other_o indeed_o in_o the_o general_a they_o may_v because_o the_o generality_n of_o their_o duty_n be_v to_o be_v assistant_n but_o here_o lie_v the_o question_n whether_o one_o member_n can_v perform_v the_o office_n of_o another_o which_o be_v particular_o appropriate_v to_o he_o and_o none_o other_o or_o as_o you_o have_v it_o before_o can_v the_o eye_n perform_v the_o office_n of_o the_o hand_n or_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o eye_n for_o as_o you_o say_v though_o in_o respect_n of_o congregat_v body_n the_o more_o part_n be_v out_o of_o office_n yet_o as_o we_o be_v one_o body_n in_o christ_n &_o member_n one_o of_o another_o first_o all_o member_n may_v be_v general_o assistant_n to_o the_o sorvice_n of_o the_o whole_a but_o can_v every_o member_n perform_v that_o which_o be_v special_o affirm_v of_o and_o attribute_v to_o one_o if_o you_o grant_v it_o than_o factume_v it_o be_v do_v anabaptism_n and_o anarchy_n and_o all_o we_o shall_v have_v come_v tumble_v into_o the_o church_n for_o tell_v i_o be_v not_o you_o he_o that_o say_v a_o little_a before_o from_o the_o apostle_n that_o the_o chief_a member_n can_v say_v to_o the_o least_o i_o have_v no_o need_n of_o thou_o now_o if_o every_o member_n can_v perform_v that_o which_o be_v special_o affirm_v of_o another_o then_o how_o can_v you_o justify_v your_o speech_n from_o the_o apostle_n who_o say_v the_o one_o have_v need_n of_o the_o other_o and_o if_o the_o one_o have_v need_n of_o the_o other_o it_o follow_v that_o he_o want_v that_o in_o another_o which_o he_o can_v perform_v himself_o if_o one_o have_v no_o need_n of_o another_o than_o he_o can_v only_o do_v that_o which_o proper_o be_v this_o but_o that_o also_o which_o be_v special_o attribute_v to_o another_o and_o so_o you_o have_v falsify_v the_o apostle_n and_o beat_v yourself_o with_o your_o own_o weapon_n to_o the_o next_o it_o be_v true_a that_o in_o the_o work_n of_o reformation_n it_o be_v necessary_a that_o all_o error_n shall_v be_v discover_v and_o all_o truth_n embrace_v but_o you_o have_v very_o slender_o prove_v that_o your_o
