excellence_n of_o their_o spiritual_a rule_n they_o derive_v it_o from_o preach_v and_o the_o subordinate_a office_n of_o the_o ministry_n but_o when_o they_o will_v exercise_v their_o rule_n than_o they_o allege_v that_o to_o rule_v over_o preacher_n be_v more_o and_o great_a than_o to_o preach_v because_o the_o spirit_n of_o man_n be_v proper_o subject_a to_o no_o rule_n and_o because_o preach_v though_o it_o be_v one_o of_o god_n most_o effectual_a ordinance_n yet_o be_v no_o proper_a rule_n but_o a_o service_n rather_o therefore_o they_o lay_v hold_v of_o ecclesiastical_a juridiction_n for_o proof_n of_o their_o holy_a spiritual_a rule_n and_o yet_o because_o ecclesiastical_a jurisdiction_n be_v of_o itself_o no_o such_o divine_a sublime_a thing_n as_o the_o ministration_n of_o the_o word_n and_o sacrament_n nor_o so_o incompetent_a for_o prince_n as_o to_o the_o use_n of_o it_o therefore_o their_o proof_n be_v chief_o ground_v upon_o the_o ordinance_n of_o the_o word_n and_o sacrament_n but_o this_o slight_a imposture_n can_v so_o delude_v we_o for_o either_o ecclesiastical_a jurisdiction_n be_v more_o sacred_a and_o spiritual_a than_o the_o ministration_n of_o the_o word_n and_o sacrament_n or_o not_o if_o it_o be_v than_o these_o argument_n draw_v from_o the_o word_n and_o sacrament_n be_v impertinent_a the_o question_n be_v whether_o prince_n be_v capable_a of_o such_o jurisdiction_n or_o not_o and_o this_o prove_v not_o the_o incapacity_n of_o prince_n this_o only_o prove_v the_o honour_n of_o such_o capacity_n but_o on_o the_o other_o side_n if_o it_o be_v not_o yet_o there_o be_v the_o same_o impertinence_n for_o if_o priest_n challenge_v to_o themselves_o power_n in_o thing_n more_o excellent_a and_o holy_a this_o exclude_v not_o prince_n from_o thing_n less_o excellent_a and_o holy_a but_o we_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o stick_v here_o the_o papist_n themselves_o do_v acknowledge_v that_o to_o preach_v etc._n etc._n be_v less_o than_o to_o rule_v and_o to_o prescribe_v law_n to_o preacher_n etc._n etc._n and_o bilson_n make_v a_o plain_a confession_n that_o the_o sacerdotal_a office_n be_v rather_o ministerial_a then_o imperial_a and_o that_o such_o reverence_n and_o subjection_n as_o be_v due_a in_o spiritual_a affair_n from_o prince_n be_v not_o due_a to_o the_o person_n of_o priest_n but_o to_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n and_o to_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o church_n for_o say_v he_o the_o word_n be_v to_o be_v submit_v to_o in_o the_o mouth_n of_o prophet_n and_o the_o ordinance_n be_v to_o be_v honour_v in_o the_o administration_n of_o priest_n but_o the_o person_n of_o prophet_n and_o priest_n must_v not_o be_v object_n to_o terminate_v this_o submission_n and_o honour_n god_n be_v to_o be_v honour_v in_o the_o service_n of_o his_o minister_n not_o the_o minister_n in_o god_n stead_n for_o in_o these_o service_n there_o be_v the_o same_o honour_n due_a to_o god_n from_o minister_n themselves_o as_o from_o layman_n and_o therefore_o we_o see_v if_o the_o great_a priest_n hear_v the_o word_n etc._n etc._n from_o the_o less_o this_o do_v not_o sanctify_v the_o less_o above_o the_o great_a as_o it_o will_v if_o sanctity_n do_v rest_n in_o the_o person_n and_o not_o in_o the_o ordinance_n or_o if_o it_o do_v not_o pass_v from_o the_o actor_n or_o instrument_n to_o the_o author_n and_o ordainer_n himself_o i_o think_v we_o may_v therefore_o proceed_v now_o from_o this_o that_o power_n and_o government_n be_v a_o thing_n in_o itself_o most_o awful_a and_o
