the_o whole_a though_o make_v up_o of_o organise_v part_n but_o this_o we_o must_v not_o say_v for_o than_o we_o spoil_v his_o argument_n and_o yet_o he_o know_v that_o every_o one_o who_o deny_v a_o universal_a pastor_n set_v over_o the_o whole_a church_n must_v and_o do_v say_v it_o so_o that_o the_o sum_n of_o his_o argument_n be_v this_o if_o you_o will_v allow_v the_o whole_a church_n to_o be_v a_o organise_v body_n that_o be_v to_o be_v under_o the_o government_n of_o a_o universal_a pastor_n than_o you_o must_v own_v a_o universal_a pastor_n but_o if_o you_o will_v not_o own_o this_o he_o have_v nothing_o to_o say_v to_o you_o but_o that_o you_o ought_v in_o civility_n to_o own_o it_o to_o make_v good_a his_o argument_n if_o man_n will_v be_v so_o perverse_a as_o to_o own_o particular_a national_a church_n to_o be_v organise_v body_n and_o to_o deny_v the_o universal_a church_n to_o be_v thus_o organise_v as_o we_o all_o do_v than_o they_o may_v own_v a_o national_a primate_n and_o deny_v a_o ecumenical_a pastor_n and_o if_o man_n own_o the_o universal_a church_n to_o be_v such_o a_o organise_v body_n they_o must_v own_v a_o universal_a pastor_n whether_o they_o own_o archbishop_n and_o primate_fw-la or_o not_o and_o therefore_o archbishop_n and_o primate_fw-la may_v have_v be_v leave_v out_o of_o this_o argument_n because_o they_o signify_v nothing_o in_o it_o and_o consequent_o the_o whole_a argument_n be_v nothing_o to_o his_o design_n to_o prove_v that_o those_o who_o own_o archbishop_n and_o primate_fw-la must_v own_v a_o universal_a pastor_n well_o but_o he_o undertake_v for_o we_o that_o we_o will_v not_o grant_v that_o the_o universal_a church_n be_v a_o unorganize_v body_n because_o it_o lay_v a_o necessary_a foundation_n for_o particular_a coordinate_a church_n congregational_a or_o presbyterian_a if_o he_o have_v say_v episcopal_a he_o have_v say_v right_a and_o we_o know_v no_o inconvenience_n in_o this_o to_o say_v that_o all_o episcopal_a church_n be_v coordinate_a since_o all_o bishop_n by_o a_o original_a right_n be_v equal_a but_o beside_o if_o the_o catholic_n church_n be_v consider_v in_o its_o large_a

jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o live_a head._n this_o be_v pure_o his_o own_o for_o his_o author_n have_v more_o wit_n than_o to_o say_v it_o the_o whole_a church_n militant_a and_o triumphant_a or_o the_o church_n in_o earth_n and_o heaven_n be_v but_o one_o church_n and_o this_o one_o church_n be_v unite_v to_o christ_n the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n and_o this_o prove_v that_o the_o church_n on_o earth_n can_v have_v any_o other_o head_n as_o the_o principle_n of_o unity_n but_o only_o christ_n for_o the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n must_v be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n as_o the_o head_n be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o whole_a body_n and_o therefore_o the_o church_n on_o earth_n be_v part_n of_o the_o church_n not_o the_o whole_a for_o the_o church_n in_o heaven_n be_v the_o large_a and_o best_a part_n of_o the_o body_n it_o can_v have_v a_o visible_a head_n on_o earth_n because_o such_o a_o head_n can_v be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o whole_a body_n for_o those_o who_o say_v the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o visible_a militant_a church_n on_o earth_n yet_o never_o pretend_v that_o he_o be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o invisible_a triumphant_a church_n in_o heaven_n now_o the_o church_n on_o earth_n can_v never_o have_v a_o head_n which_o be_v not_o the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n in_o heaven_n unless_o we_o will_v say_v that_o part_n of_o a_o body_n as_o the_o church_n on_o earth_n be_v may_v have_v a_o head_n by_o itself_o which_o be_v not_o head_n to_o the_o other_o part_n of_o the_o body_n which_o be_v a_o thing_n that_o never_o be_v hear_v of_o in_o the_o world_n before_o that_o a_o head_n shall_v be_v head_n only_o to_o part_v of_o the_o body_n and_o not_o to_o the_o whole_a when_o the_o body_n be_v but_o one_o but_o what_o do_v he_o mean_v when_o he_o say_v that_o the_o church_n militant_a and_o triumphant_a be_v a_o organise_v body_n what_o organization_n be_v there_o in_o the_o church_n triumphant_a they_o be_v all_o indeed_o unite_v to_o christ_n and_o so_o be_v his_o body_n but_o there_o be_v no_o different_a organical_a part_n in_o this_o body_n no_o differ_a rank_n and_o office_n that_o we_o know_v of_o in_o the_o church_n in_o heaven_n no_o distinction_n between_o clergy_n and_o laity_n prophet_n and_o apostle_n pastor_n and_o teacher_n there_o for_o these_o office_n cease_v with_o the_o use_n of_o they_o and_o therefore_o they_o be_v not_o unite_v to_o christ_n in_o one_o organical_a body_n which_o have_v different_a member_n and_o office_n in_o heaven_n and_o therefore_o tho'_o the_o church_n on_o earth_n consist_v of_o such_o organise_v body_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o their_o organization_n which_o unite_v they_o to_o christ_n for_o then_o this_o will_v be_v necessary_a in_o heaven_n as_o well_o as_o in_o eartth_n for_o the_o same_o one_o body_n and_o every_o part_n of_o it_o must_v be_v unite_v to_o christ_n in_o the_o same_o manner_n and_o by_o the_o same_o kind_n of_o union_n and_o if_o the_o union_n of_o the_o church_n on_o earth_n do_v not_o consist_v in_o its_o organization_n to_o be_v sure_a there_o be_v no_o necessity_n that_o the_o whole_a church_n on_o earth_n shall_v be_v one_o organise_v body_n to_o make_v it_o the_o body_n of_o christ._n the_o organization_n of_o particular_a church_n be_v for_o the_o edification_n and_o good_a government_n of_o all_o the_o member_n of_o it_o not_o immediate_o for_o their_o union_n to_o christ_n and_o therefore_o if_o the_o whole_a church_n may_v be_v edify_v and_o well_o govern_v by_o the_o organization_n of_o particular_a church_n the_o church_n be_v call_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n can_v prove_v that_o the_o whole_a church_n on_o earth_n be_v one_o organical_a body_n but_o if_o particular_a church_n be_v organise_v it_o be_v most_o natural_a and_o fit_a that_o the_o mother_n teem_v church_n shall_v have_v the_o most_o proportionate_a adaptation_n of_o part_n a_o mother_n that_o bring_v forth_o organise_v child_n be_v suppose_v to_o be_v organise_v herself_o nihil_fw-la that_o quod_fw-la non_fw-la habet_fw-la wherefore_o all_o other_o less_o comprehensive_a church_n come_v out_o of_o the_o

mother_n must_v be_v more_o monstrous_a than_o the_o daughter_n here_o he_o forsake_v his_o guide_n again_o and_o fall_v into_o nonsense_n can_v he_o find_v out_o a_o mother_n church_n which_o be_v none_o of_o the_o daughter_n a_o catholic_n church_n which_o be_v distinct_a from_o all_o particular_n this_o will_v be_v a_o notable_a argument_n indeed_o to_o prove_v the_o catholic_n church_n to_o be_v organise_v because_o particular_a church_n be_v but_o if_o there_o be_v no_o teem_v mother_n church_n but_o what_o be_v a_o particular_a church_n itself_o if_o no_o church_n bring_v forth_o church_n as_o a_o woman_n bring_v forth_o her_o daughter_n nay_o if_o church_n be_v not_o bring_v forth_o but_o christian_n who_o be_v afterward_o form_v into_o church-society_n if_o all_o this_o at_o best_a be_v nothing_o but_o metaphor_n and_o allusion_n and_o that_o without_o any_o real_a likeness_n and_o similitude_n too_o we_o may_v safe_o allow_v he_o such_o kind_n of_o argument_n as_o these_o for_o his_o organise_v catholic_n church_n well_o but_o now_o these_o particular_a church_n be_v transform_v from_o daughter_n into_o integral_a part_n of_o the_o mother_n catholic_n church_n nay_o be_v daughter_n and_o integral_a part_n too_o which_o constitute_v the_o mother_n and_o then_o a_o body_n which_o be_v make_v up_o of_o organise_v part_n be_v always_o itself_o organise_v e._n
