A86931	A plea for Christian magistracie: or, An answer to some passages in Mr. Gillespies sermon, against Mr. Coleman. As also to the brotherly examination of some passages of Mr. Colemans late printed sermon, upon Job 11.20. In which the reverend and learned commissioner affirmeth, he hath endeavoured to strike at the root of all church government. VVherein the argumentative part of the controversie is calmely and mildly, without any personall reflections, prosecuted. / By William Hussey, minister of the Gospell, at Chesilhurst in Kent.	Hussey, William, minister of Chiselhurst.	1645 (1645)	Wing H3819; Thomason E313_7; ESTC R200474	46,951	61

speak_v but_o it_o seem_v the_o commissioner_n will_v confute_v st._n paul_n inso_fw-la say_v he_o shall_v make_v christ_n head_n of_o they_o that_o be_v not_o his_o body_n well_o the_o commissioner_n will_v not_o have_v christ_n head_n of_o any_o but_o his_o body_n than_o i_o trust_v he_o be_v not_o head_n of_o your_o presbytery_n for_o than_o he_o must_v be_v head_n of_o many_o that_o be_v not_o of_o his_o body_n for_o howsoever_o man_n may_v by_o rule_n of_o charity_n have_v the_o estimation_n of_o member_n of_o christ_n yet_o certain_o christ_n be_v head_n of_o none_o but_o his_o elect_a no_o visible_a church_n can_v challenge_v the_o privilege_n of_o be_v the_o member_n of_o christ_n every_o faithful_a man_n may_v but_o the_o visible_a church_n can_v i_o desire_v this_o may_v be_v

that_o have_v no_o life_n of_o grace_n nor_o any_o such_o growth_n as_o be_v mention_v eph._n 4.15_o in_o that_o argument_n that_o government_n that_o christ_n have_v over_o the_o faithful_a be_v true_o spiritual_a and_o not_o of_o this_o world_n and_o of_o this_o kingdom_n he_o have_v indeed_o no_o officer_n but_o his_o spirit_n all_o these_o member_n have_v immediate_a union_n with_o christ_n by_o faith_n as_o for_o apply_v that_o distinction_n of_o the_o exaltation_n of_o christ_n in_o respect_n of_o honour_n and_o dignity_n but_o not_o his_o kingly_a office_n to_o the_o

in_o another_o sense_n not_o as_o he_o be_v mediator_n but_o only_o as_o he_o be_v god_n and_o the_o apostle_n meaning_n be_v nothing_o but_o this_o that_o christ_n be_v true_a god_n do_v he_o not_o

of_o principality_n and_o power_n that_o prove_v that_o christ_n be_v god_n say_v mr._n gillespie_n god_n not_o mediator_n that_o be_v no_o consequence_n you_o ought_v not_o to_o worship_v angel_n
