A93888	An ansvver to a letter vvritten at Oxford, and superscribed to Dr. Samuel Turner, concerning the Church, and the revenues thereof. Wherein is shewed, how impossible it is for the King with a good conscience to yeeld to the change of church-government by bishops, or to the alienating the lands of the Church.

the_o work_n and_o ministry_n of_o a_o bishop_n and_o in_o question_n to_o the_o person_n to_o be_v consecrate_v a_o bishop_n be_v you_o persuade_v that_o you_o be_v true_o call_v to_o this_o

not_o possess_v with_o this_o tenet_n that_o episcopacy_n be_v of_o divine_a right_n for_o if_o the_o three_o order_n may_v be_v find_v by_o read_v the_o holy_a scripture_n together_o with_o ancient_a author_n if_o man_n be_v teach_v to_o pray_v that_o god_n by_o his_o spirit_n have_v appoint_v divers_a order_n in_o his_o church_n and_o this_o make_v the_o ground_n of_o pray_v for_o the_o present_a bishop_n if_o the_o person_n to_o be_v consecrate_v must_v profess_v that_o he_o conceive_v he_o be_v call_v according_a to_o the_o will_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n either_o all_o this_o must_v be_v nothing_o else_o but_o pure_a pageantry_n and_o then_o the_o parliament_n mock_v god_n by_o their_o confirmation_n or_o else_o episcopacy_n be_v ground_v in_o scripture_n be_v appoint_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v according_a to_o the_o will_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n and_o all_o this_o have_v not_o be_v say_v of_o late_a nor_o countenance_v only_o by_o some_o few_o of_o the_o more_o lordly_a clergy_n and_o we_o have_v the_o less_o reason_n to_o doubt_v that_o this_o tenet_n be_v countenance_v in_o this_o church_n of_o we_o because_o we_o find_v it_o in_o those_o part_n that_o have_v lose_v episcopacy_n for_o we_o be_v tell_v by_o doctor_n carlton_n after_o bishop_n of_o chichester_n and_o that_o write_v against_o the_o arminian_n more_o than_o twenty_o five_o year_n since_o that_o sit_v at_o dort_n he_o then_o protest_v in_o open_a synod_n that_o christ_n institute_v no_o parity_n but_o make_v twelve_o apostle_n the_o chief_a and_o under_o they_o seventy_o disciple_n that_o bishop_n succeed_v to_o the_o twelve_o and_o to_o the_o seventy_o presbyter_n of_o a_o inferior_a rank_n he_o affirm_v this_o order_n have_v be_v still_o maintain_v in_o the_o church_n and_o then_o challenge_v the_o judgement_n of_o any_o learn_v man_n that_o can_v speak_v to_o the_o contrary_a their_o answer_n be_v silence_n which_o be_v approbation_n enough_o but_o after_o say_v he_o discourse_v with_o diverse_a of_o the_o best_a learned_a in_o the_o synod_n he_o tell_v they_o how_o necessary_a bishop_n be_v to_o suppress_v their_o then_o rise_a schism_n their_o answer_n be_v that_o they_o do_v much_o honour_n and_o reverence_v the_o good_a order_n and_o discipline_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o with_o all_o their_o heart_n will_v be_v glad_a to_o have_v it_o establish_v among_o they_o but_o that_o can_v not_o be_v hope_v for_o in_o their_o state_n their_o hope_n be_v that_o see_v they_o can_v not_o do_v what_o they_o desire_v god_n will_v be_v merciful_a unto_o they_o if_o they_o do_v but_o what_o they_o can_v if_o they_o hope_v for_o mercy_n that_o may_v pardon_v what_o they_o do_v sure_o they_o must_v suppose_v that_o what_o they_o then_o do_v be_v sinful_a nay_o they_o think_v their_o necessity_n itself_o can_v not_o total_o excuse_v their_o sin_n for_o then_o in_o that_o particular_a there_o have_v be_v no_o need_n to_o hope_v for_o god_n mercy_n nor_o can_v they_o well_o think_v otherwise_o since_o be_v press_v they_o deny_v not_o but_o that_o episcopacy_n be_v of_o christ_n own_o institution_n and_o yet_o they_o be_v no_o lordly_a clergy_n nor_o do_v i_o well_o see_v how_o either_o by_o charitable_a or_o civil_a man_n they_o can_v at_o all_o be_v tax_v either_o for_o want_n of_o reason_n or_o honesty_n 1._o indeed_o some_o seem_v to_o startle_v at_o this_o tenet_n that_o episcopacy_n be_v of_o divine_a right_n as_o if_o because_o divine_a it_o may_v therefore_o seem_v to_o endanger_v monarchal_a power_n but_o under_o favour_n i_o conceive_v this_o fear_n to_o be_v among_o we_o very_o groundless_a for_o since_o the_o tenant_n of_o our_o church_n be_v in_o this_o particular_a the_o very_a self_n same_o with_o the_o ancient_a time_n as_o that_o the_o bishop_n have_v no_o power_n but_o what_o be_v mere_o directive_n only_o that_o all_o power_n coactive_a either_o in_o they_o or_o in_o other_o be_v derive_v mere_o from_o the_o royal_a authority_n that_o they_o can_v legal_o make_v use_n no_o not_o so_o much_o as_o of_o this_o directive_n power_n but_o only_o by_o the_o king_n leave_n so_o that_o if_o the_o temporal_a law_n shall_v forbid_v they_o to_o preach_v that_o which_o in_o point_n of_o salvation_n be_v necessary_a to_o be_v speak_v yet_o they_o can_v preach_v but_o upon_o the_o forfeiture_n of_o their_o head_n and_o those_o be_v demand_v by_o the_o king_n law_n they_o must_v submit_v to_o a_o martyrdom_n though_o it_o be_v sin_n in_o they_o that_o demand_v it_o so_o that_o in_o the_o execution_n of_o all_o ecclesiastical_a power_n the_o supremacy_n be_v in_o the_o king_n alone_o these_o i_o say_v be_v so_o much_o the_o tenet_n of_o our_o church_n that_o i_o conceive_v there_o be_v no_o learned_a man_n among_o we_o who_o will_v not_o ready_o subscribe_v to_o they_o i_o can_v see_v at_o all_o where_o in_o the_o opinion_n we_o defend_v any_o danger_n lie_v to_o this_o monarchy_n but_o examine_v the_o presbyterian_a principle_n and_o you_o will_v clear_o find_v king_n and_o they_o can_v stand_v together_o for_o either_o you_o consider_v that_o new_a government_n in_o the_o scotish_a sense_n which_o allow_v no_o appeal_n to_o any_o other_o power_n and_o then_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o where_o man_n admit_v this_o they_o admit_v of_o a_o supremacy_n which_o do_v not_o reside_v in_o the_o king_n and_o by_o consequent_a of_o two_o several_a supremacy_n within_o the_o bound_n of_o the_o self_n same_o kingdom_n which_o can_v no_o more_o stand_v with_o monarchy_n than_o it_o can_v with_o monogamy_n to_o be_v marry_v to_o two_o several_a wife_n and_o though_o it_o be_v say_v that_o this_o presbyterian_a government_n meddle_v only_o with_o spiritual_a thing_n which_o concern_v the_o good_a of_o the_o soul_n and_o so_o it_o can_v hurt_v regal_a power_n yet_o this_o be_v but_o only_o say_v and_o no_o more_o for_o it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o in_fw-la ordine_fw-la ad_fw-la spiritualia_fw-la and_o all_o thing_n may_v by_o a_o ordinary_a wit_n be_v draw_v into_o this_o rank_n as_o they_o have_v be_v by_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n this_o government_n intrude_v upon_o what_o thing_n it_o please_v and_o indeed_o where_o a_o supremacy_n be_v once_o acknowledge_v no_o wise_a man_n can_v think_v that_o it_o will_v carry_v itself_o otherwise_o so_o that_o king_n james_n his_o maxim_n be_v undoubted_o most_o true_a upon_o this_o same_o ground_n we_o be_v on_o no_o bishop_n no_o king_n for_o that_o most_o prudent_a prince_n do_v soon_o discern_v that_o if_o a_o power_n be_v once_o set_v up_o which_o at_o least_o in_o the_o legal_a execution_n of_o it_o do_v not_o derive_v itself_o from_o the_o king_n there_o be_v no_o doubt_n to_o be_v make_v but_o it_o will_v ere_o long_o destroy_v the_o very_a king_n himself_o or_o consider_v presbyterian_a government_n in_o the_o english_a sense_n as_o it_o be_v now_o set_v up_o by_o the_o two_o house_n at_o westminster_n which_o be_v a_o government_n limit_v by_o a_o appeal_n to_o the_o parliament_n for_o either_o by_o parliament_n here_o they_o mean_v the_o two_o house_n exclude_v the_o king_n and_o then_o it_o be_v as_o plain_a as_o before_o they_o set_v up_o two_o supremacy_n his_o majesty_n and_o their_o own_o or_o else_o by_o parliament_n they_o mean_v the_o king_n with_o both_o house_n and_o then_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o either_o there_o must_v be_v a_o perpetual_a parliament_n which_o sure_o neither_o king_n nor_o kingdom_n can_v have_v cause_n to_o like_v or_o else_o the_o supremacy_n will_v be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n in_o the_o presbytery_n because_o when_o ever_o a_o parliament_n sit_v not_o there_o will_v be_v no_o judge_n to_o appeal_v to_o or_o if_o it_o be_v say_v the_o parliament_n may_v leave_v a_o stand_a committee_n to_o receive_v appeal_n in_o such_o ecclesiastical_a cause_n then_o either_o in_o this_o committee_n the_o king_n have_v no_o negative_a and_o in_o that_o case_n it_o be_v clear_a that_o the_o ecclesiastical_a supremacy_n will_v be_v not_o at_o all_o in_o the_o king_n or_o else_o the_o king_n have_v a_o negative_a but_o yet_o be_v join_v with_o person_n who_o he_o himself_o choose_v not_o and_o so_o most_o probable_o will_v be_v check_v and_o affront_v in_o any_o sentence_n he_o intend_v to_o give_v and_o this_o clear_o overthrow_v that_o which_o be_v already_o declare_v by_o parliament_n 19_o to_o

be_v a_o right_a in_o the_o king_n as_o inherent_a in_o his_o crown_n that_o ecclesiastical_a appeal_n may_v be_v make_v to_o he_o alone_o in_o chancery_n for_o the_o statute_n name_v no_o other_o and_o that_o his_o majesty_n alone_o may_v appoint_v what_o commissioner_n he_o please_v for_o their_o final_a decision_n i_o say_v consider_v the_o presbyterian_a government_n in_o the_o english_a parliament_n sense_n and_o in_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o english_a assembly_n for_o the_o presbyterian_n there_o be_v whole_o for_o the_o scotish_a form_n as_o appear_v by_o their_o quarrel_n at_o what_o the_o house_n have_v already_o do_v in_o their_o ordinance_n so_o that_o their_o aim_n be_v not_o only_o to_o set_v up_o a_o new_a government_n but_o in_o plain_a term_n a_o new_a supremacy_n and_o hence_o to_o say_v truth_n he_o must_v see_v very_o little_a who_o discern_v not_o that_o though_o the_o presbyterian_a party_n seem_v to_o strike_v at_o the_o bishop_n yet_o their_o main_a aim_n be_v at_o the_o king_n who_o supremacy_n they_o endure_v not_o as_o be_v a_o flower_n which_o they_o intend_v for_o their_o own_o garland_n and_o so_o though_o they_o hypocritical_o cry_v out_o that_o they_o may_v abuse_v the_o people_n against_o the_o pride_n of_o the_o lordly_a bishop_n yet_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n the_o wise_a sort_n must_v needs_o see_v that_o they_o intend_v to_o make_v themselves_o no_o less_o than_o indeed_o kingly_a presbyter_n we_o acknowledge_v the_o protestant_n of_o germany_n the_o low_a country_n and_o part_n of_o the_o reform_a catholic_n protestant_n

it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o germany_n be_v no_o protestant_a churce_n no_o it_o must_v be_v a_o crime_n of_o a_o most_o horrid_a taint_n that_o make_v a_o church_n run_v into_o non_fw-la

of_o which_o the_o king_n can_v at_o all_o do_v to_o those_o schismatic_n without_o sin_n but_o it_o mere_o imply_v not_o to_o punish_v which_o king_n may_v forbear_v upon_o just_a reason_n of_o

their_o sin_n be_v against_o a_o flat_a law_n divine_a we_o affirm_v then_o episcopacy_n to_o be_v of_o divine_a right_n that_o be_v of_o divine_a institution_n and_o that_o must_v needs_o tacit_o
