that_o regard_n it_o be_v not_o complete_a full_a or_o entire_a if_o of_o a_o power_n complete_a in_o its_o own_o kind_n or_o nature_n you_o say_v nothing_o but_o what_o we_o say_v since_o it_o be_v our_o opinion_n that_o every_o particular_a congregation_n have_v a_o complete_a power_n in_o itself_o such_o as_o be_v due_a to_o such_o a_o congregation_n dependent_a upon_o that_o of_o class_n and_o synod_n in_o case_n of_o appeal_n whereby_o it_o may_v be_v challenge_v to_o err_v gross_o if_o it_o be_v so_o wherefore_o contest_v you_o with_o we_o who_o give_v you_o no_o subject_n of_o quarrel_n as_o not_o dissent_v from_o you_o in_o that_o particular_a pag._n 14._o 2_o they_o say_v that_o they_o claim_v not_o a_o independent_a power_n in_o every_o congregation_n to_o give_v a_o account_n or_o to_o be_v subject_a to_o no_o other_o answ_n then_o your_o power_n be_v dependent_a upon_o some_o other_o then_o it_o must_v give_v a_o account_n and_o be_v subject_a to_o some_o other_o if_o subject_n to_o some_o other_o then_o that_o other_o be_v superior_a and_o what_o say_v we_o more_o only_o we_o say_v that_o there_o be_v a_o subordination_n betwixt_o superior_a and_o inferior_a ecclesiastical_a judicatories_n which_o you_o hold_v here_o to_o be_v juris_fw-la divini_fw-la we_o partim_fw-la divini_fw-la partim_fw-la naturalis_fw-la aut_fw-la mixti_fw-la i_o pray_v you_o brethren_n agree_v these_o two_o proposition_n how_o a_o church_n can_v have_v a_o full_a and_o complete_a government_n and_o yet_o not_o independent_a it_o shall_v seem_v to_o i_o that_o either_o you_o contradict_v not_o we_o or_o contradict_v yourselves_o within_o the_o compass_n of_o two_o line_n pag._n 14._o 3_o they_o deny_v that_o by_o the_o institution_n of_o christ_n or_o his_o apostle_n the_o combination_n of_o the_o elder_n of_o many_o church_n shall_v be_v the_o first_o complete_a and_o entire_a seat_n of_o church-power_n over_o each_o church_n so_o combine_v here_o you_o attribute_v unto_o our_o church_n a_o opinion_n that_o they_o own_v not_o as_o their_o own_o viz._n that_o the_o combination_n of_o elder_n of_o many_o church_n be_v the_o first_o seat_n of_o church-power_n for_o they_o hold_v the_o contrary_a viz._n that_o the_o first_o seat_n of_o government_n be_v in_o parochial_a church_n since_o there_o the_o party_n debate_v their_o cause_n in_o first_o instance_n if_o you_o say_v that_o by_o first_o you_o understand_v the_o principal_a than_o you_o can_v deny_v but_o that_o senate_n or_o assembly_n whereunto_o particular_a congregation_n be_v subject_a who_o judgement_n according_a to_o god_n word_n they_o must_v obey_v and_o of_o who_o judgement_n their_o judgement_n depend_v must_v be_v the_o principal_a seat_n of_o church-power_n for_o that_o be_v principal_a whereof_o the_o other_o depend_v and_o to_o which_o the_o other_o be_v subject_a neither_o say_v we_o that_o it_o be_v the_o complete_a and_o entire_a seat_n of_o all_o ecclesiastical_a judgement_n since_o in_o thing_n of_o less_o concernment_n and_o that_o only_o belong_v to_o particular_a congregation_n we_o hold_v the_o eldership_n of_o that_o congregation_n may_v judge_v and_o sometime_o judge_n in_o effect_n complete_o and_o entire_o but_o you_o propound_v a_o tacit_a objection_n the_o eldership_n so_o combine_v can_v challenge_v authority_n over_o the_o church_n they_o feed_v not_o answ_n 1._o we_o have_v answer_v that_o our_o eldership_n challenge_v no_o such_o authority_n to_o itself_o 2._o that_o this_o argument_n strike_v no_o less_o at_o your_o judgement_n of_o neighbour_n church_n against_o particular_a congregation_n then_o at_o that_o of_o combine_a eldership_n against_o a_o particular_a church_n since_o your_o neighbour_n church_n feed_v no_o more_o that_o particular_a congregation_n than_o our_o combine_a eldership_n a_o particular_a church_n 2._o we_o deny_v that_o our_o class_n and_o synod_n or_o as_o you_o call_v they_o combine_v presbytery_n or_o eldership_n feed_v not_o particular_a congregation_n for_o they_o govern_v they_o which_o be_v a_o certain_a sort_n of_o feed_v due_a to_o elder_n and_o in_o this_o signification_n king_n prince_n and_o duke_n be_v call_v pastor_n or_o feeder_n of_o their_o people_n because_o they_o rule_v they_o jor._n 6.3_o and_o 12_o 10._o but_o to_o bring_v more_o light_n to_o this_o captious_a proposition_n and_o all_o fallacious_a argument_n that_o may_v be_v ground_v hereupon_o here_o i_o will_v more_o full_o declare_v in_o what_o sense_n these_o proposition_n may_v be_v true_a or_o false_a viz._n 1._o the_o combine_a eldership_n have_v power_n to_o feed_v rule_n and_o teach_v the_o church_n or_o all_o particular_a church_n 2._o the_o combine_a eldership_n feed_v or_o rule_v all_o particular_a church_n 3._o the_o elder_n of_o the_o combine_a eldership_n have_v power_n to_o feed_v or_o rule_v particular_a church_n and_o for_o this_o effect_n note_n 1._o that_o the_o feed_n or_o teach_v of_o the_o church_n may_v be_v take_v either_o in_o actu_fw-la secundo_fw-la for_o actual_a feed_n or_o the_o exercise_n of_o the_o power_n of_o feed_v as_o when_o a_o preacher_n teach_v actual_o etc._n etc._n 2._o in_o actu_fw-la primo_fw-la for_o the_o moral_a power_n which_o minister_n have_v to_o teach_v in_o virtue_n of_o their_o vocation_n and_o mission_n to_o their_o charge_n and_o admission_n into_o it_o so_o the_o power_n to_o feed_v howsoever_o it_o signify_v formal_o the_o actum_fw-la primum_fw-la as_o rule_v actum_fw-la secundum_fw-la may_v be_v take_v in_o actu_fw-la primo_fw-la for_o the_o power_n that_o a_o minister_n have_v to_o feed_v or_o in_o actu_fw-la secundo_fw-la for_o the_o act_n of_o feed_v proceed_v from_o the_o power_n or_o first_o act_n 3._o item_n in_o actu_fw-la signato_fw-la when_o a_o power_n or_o a_o act_n be_v signify_v to_o belong_v to_o a_o thing_n that_o exercise_v not_o the_o act_n as_o when_o a_o king_n command_v but_o put_v it_o not_o in_o execution_n or_o in_o actu_fw-la exercito_fw-la when_o it_o be_v exercise_v so_o particular_a officer_n have_v the_o power_n in_o actu_fw-la exercito_fw-la which_o the_o king_n and_o superior_a judge_n and_o magistrate_n have_v in_o actu_fw-la signato_fw-la 3._o that_o the_o minister_n or_o elder_n of_o the_o eldership_n may_v be_v consider_v in_o quality_n of_o a_o collective_a body_n of_o elder_n or_o several_o every_o one_o apart_o which_o the_o schoolman_n call_v ordinary_o collectiuè_a &_o distributiuè_fw-la if_o several_o then_o either_o absolute_o without_o any_o

to_o the_o collective_a body_n or_o combination_n of_o the_o eldership_n viz._n as_o part_n thereof_o 4._o the_o whole_a collective_a body_n of_o the_o eldership_n may_v be_v take_v either_o formal_o as_o it_o be_v a_o collection_n of_o sundry_a elder_n according_a to_o the_o order_n establish_v in_o the_o church_n represent_v many_o church_n combine_v and_o consociate_v from_o which_o they_o have_v their_o commission_n or_o material_o in_o quality_n of_o minister_n or_o elder_n of_o who_o the_o consociation_n or_o combination_n or_o synod_n or_o classical_a assembly_n of_o elder_n be_v compound_v 5._o both_o the_o collective_a body_n or_o consociation_n of_o elder_n which_o be_v a_o representative_a body_n of_o many_o church_n as_o also_o every_o particular_a real_a church_n and_o the_o whole_a militant_a church_n may_v be_v consider_v as_o other_o thing_n aut_fw-la ut_fw-la totum_fw-la simpliciter_fw-la aut_fw-la ut_fw-la totum_fw-la &_o totaliter_fw-la either_o as_o a_o
