A20733	A defence of the sermon preached at the consecration of the L. Bishop of Bath and VVelles against a confutation thereof by a namelesse author. Diuided into 4. bookes: the first, prouing chiefly that the lay or onely-gouerning elders haue no warrant either in the Scriptures or other monuments of antiquity. The second, shewing that the primitiue churches indued with power of ecclesiasticall gouernment, were not parishes properly but dioceses, and consequently that the angels of the churches or ancient bishops were not parishionall but diocesan bishops. The third, defending the superioritie of bishops aboue other ministers, and prouing that bishops alwayes had a prioritie not onely in order, but also in degree, and a maioritie of power both for ordination and iurisdiction. The fourth, maintayning that the episcopall function is of apostolicall and diuine institution.	Downame, George, d. 1634.	1611 (1611)	STC 7115; ESTC S110129	556,406	714

have_v publish_v in_o print_n in_o most_o glorious_a and_o vaunt_a manner_n five_o time_n that_o i_o know_v of_o argue_v nothing_o but_o their_o gerat_fw-la malice_n &_o small_a judgement_n i_o have_v answer_v before_o to_o their_o shame_n how_o oft_o must_v they_o be_v tell_v that_o we_o neither_o make_v our_o bishop_n supreme_a governor_n as_o they_o do_v their_o parish_n bishop_n nor_o sole_a as_o they_o will_v be_v if_o they_o have_v not_o the_o assistance_n of_o their_o presbyter_n and_o who_o know_v not_o that_o it_o be_v the_o supremacy_n that_o make_v a_o pope_n and_o supremacy_n they_o give_v to_o their_o parish_n bishop_n the_o other_o part_n of_o the_o assumption_n which_o say_v they_o have_v not_o assistant_n in_o the_o parish_n to_o restrain_v they_o he_o deny_v but_o before_o he_o will_v examine_v my_o reason_n which_o i_o bring_v to_o prove_v it_o his_o gravity_n think_v good_a to_o cavil_v with_o the_o phrase_n which_o say_v he_o sound_v very_o strange_o in_o our_o ear_n assistant_n be_v for_o his_o help_n who_o they_o assist_v not_o to_o hinder_v in_o the_o execution_n of_o his_o office_n so_o do_v the_o justice_n of_o peace_n assist_v the_o judge_n at_o the_o assize_n therefore_o he_o shall_v either_o not_o have_v call_v they_o assistant_n or_o forbear_v the_o term_n of_o restrain_v where_o be_v so_o many_o ear_n as_o he_o speak_v of_o there_o be_v more_o head_n than_o one_o that_o join_v in_o this_o work_n as_o i_o understand_v there_o do_v but_o where_o so_o many_o head_n be_v it_o be_v strange_a there_o be_v no_o more_o judgement_n be_v your_o presbytery_n assist_v your_o parish_n bishop_n to_o be_v compare_v to_o the_o justice_n of_o peace_n at_o the_o assize_n who_o have_v no_o right_n of_o suffrage_n or_o give_v sentence_n or_o not_o rather_o to_o the_o judge_n assist_v the_o chief_a judge_n in_o every_o court_n have_v not_o all_o in_o your_o presbytery_n or_o consistory_n equal_a right_n of_o suffrage_n and_o be_v not_o all_o thing_n carry_v by_o plurality_n of_o voice_n be_v it_o not_o plain_a that_o the_o judge_n in_o the_o king_n bench_n or_o common_a plea_n who_o be_v assistant_n to_o the_o l._n chief_a justice_n be_v join_v to_o either_o of_o they_o as_o to_o help_v he_o in_o give_v right_a judgement_n so_o to_o restrain_v he_o that_o he_o judge_v not_o alone_o according_a to_o his_o own_o pleasure_n be_v it_o not_o evident_a when_o more_o be_v join_v in_o one_o commission_n that_o they_o be_v join_v as_o well_o to_o restrain_v he_o that_o be_v the_o chief_a that_o he_o shall_v do_v nothing_o alone_o as_o to_o help_v he_o in_o the_o execution_n thereof_o what_o a_o shallow_a conceit_n than_o be_v this_o that_o assitant_n may_v not_o be_v say_v to_o restrain_v see_v their_o office_n be_v as_o to_o help_v he_o who_o they_o assist_v to_o do_v right_a so_o to_o restrain_v he_o that_o he_o do_v no_o wrong_n let_v we_o now_o hear_v what_o he_o can_v say_v to_o the_o reason_n which_o be_v this_o if_o the_o pastor_n of_o every_o parish_n have_v assistant_n than_o presbytery_n either_o of_o lay-presbyters_a or_o of_o minister_n but_o they_o have_v not_o presbytery_n to_o assist_v they_o neither_o of_o lay-presbyters_a nor_o of_o minister_n therefore_o they_o have_v none_o assistant_n the_o proposition_n be_v ground_v upon_o this_o hypothesis_n which_o i_o take_v for_o grant_v that_o all_o assistant_n or_o coassessour_n join_v with_o the_o bishop_n or_o pastor_n in_o the_o government_n of_o the_o church_n that_o be_v any_o where_o note_v to_o have_v be_v in_o the_o primitive_a church_n be_v presbyter_n for_o that_o which_o again_o he_o add_v concern_v the_o whole_a congregation_n be_v a_o very_a fond_a conceit_n whoever_o hear_v that_o the_o whole_a congregation_n assist_v the_o pastor_n in_o the_o government_n of_o itself_o assure_o they_o which_o attribute_n authority_n to_o the_o whole_a congregation_n ascribe_v unto_o it_o the_o chief_a authority_n as_o in_o popular_a state_n which_o the_o refuter_fw-la have_v before_o acknowledge_v say_v 6._o that_o they_o subject_v both_o the_o pastor_n &_o elder_n to_o the_o whole_a congregation_n turn_v the_o world_n upside_o down_o and_o make_v the_o flock_n to_o rule_v their_o pastor_n and_o yet_o how_o this_o stand_v with_o their_o other_o position_n that_o the_o pastor_n be_v the_o supreme_a ecclesiastical_a officer_n in_o every_o church_n i_o can_v sell_v unless_o they_o mean_v the_o high_a under_o the_o church_n itself_o which_o if_o it_o be_v so_o then_o be_v not_o the_o church_n according_a to_o their_o conceit_n assistant_n to_o the_o pastor_n but_o the_o pastor_n be_v the_o church_n deputy_n and_o lieutenant_n for_o the_o government_n of_o itself_o in_o which_o government_n of_o the_o church_n the_o presbyter_n be_v his_o assistant_n but_o whatsoever_o may_v be_v add_v to_o the_o proposition_n according_a to_o the_o unstayed_a fancy_n of_o certain_a innovator_n which_o i_o respect_v not_o the_o proposition_n be_v necessary_a according_a to_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n whereof_o only_o i_o sp●ke_v 105._o but_o he_o deny_v the_o assumption_n also_o say_v that_o they_o have_v other_o presbyter_n which_o be_v not_o minister_n but_o i_o hope_v he_o will_v unsay_v that_o say_n when_o he_o shall_v have_v read_v what_o before_o have_v be_v deliver_v concern_v their_o onely-governing_a elder_n beside_o against_o their_o parish-presbyters_a i_o allege_v the_o practice_n of_o the_o church_n in_o scotland_n and_o geneva_n for_o in_o scotland_n they_o have_v not_o a_o presbytery_n or_o consistory_n in_o every_o parish_n but_o in_o such_o circuit_n as_o be_v answerable_a to_o our_o deanery_n and_o whereas_o he_o say_v that_o neither_o i_o nor_o he_o 〈…〉_z
