graecas_fw-la calendas_fw-la only_o lest_o he_o may_v seem_v to_o say_v nothing_o he_o endeavour_v to_o prove_v that_o there_o be_v a_o set_a form_n of_o church-government_n prescribe_v by_o christ_n

will_v be_v *_o arbitarry_a straight_a than_o the_o law_n christ_n more_o unfaithful_a than_o moses_n if_o we_o deny_v these_o absurd_a consequence_n you_o shall_v have_v these_o sound_a proof_n of_o both_o subjoin_v god_n set_v a_o pattern_n to_o *_o 5._o moses_n of_o a_o carnal_a temple_n you_o mistake_v good_a sir_n it_o be_v a_o tabernacle_n and_o that_o not_o carnal_a which_o he_o charge_v he_o not_o to_o vary_v from_o in_o a_o tittle_n well_o i_o grant_v it_o because_o you_o produce_v two_o full_a scripture_n for_o it_o ergo_fw-la he_o have_v prescribe_v a_o set_a pattern_n of_o

under_o the_o gospel_n most_o likely_a in_o the_o roman_a ceremonial_a and_o pontifical_a if_o the_o one_o consequence_n be_v ridiculous_a the_o other_o must_v needs_o be_v so_o but_o to_o quell_v this_o your_o principal_a argument_n first_o the_o pattern_n in_o the_o mount_n be_v mean_v only_o of_o the_o material_n form_n vessel_n and_o utensil_n of_o the_o tabernacle_n not_o of_o the_o

show_v only_o to_o moses_n the_o temporal_a magistrate_n and_o chief_a ruler_n of_o the_o israelite_n not_o to_o aaron_n or_o any_o private_a independent_a priest_n or_o synagogue_n of_o the_o jew_n yea_o moses_n not_o they_o be_v to_o make_v or_o see_v all_o thing_n make_v according_a to_o the_o pattern_n in_o the_o mount_n ergo_fw-la if_o there_o be_v any_o consequence_n from_o this_o pattern_n not_o the_o independent_a minister_n or_o congregation_n but_o king_n chief_a temporal_a magistrate_n and_o parliament_n the_o supreme_a civil_a power_n counsel_n be_v likewise_o under_o the_o

godly_a prince_n governor_n with_o their_o parliament_n or_o general_a assembly_n do_v under_o the_o law_n and_o than_o what_o become_v of_o your_o independent_a minister_n congregation_n claim_v to_o this_o sovereign_n temporal_a jurisdiction_n a_o part_n of_o christ_n kingly_a office_n delegate_a only_o to_o king_n and_o high_a temporal_a power_n which_o be_v never_o confer_v on_o they_o in_o fine_a if_o there_o be_v any_o such_o express_a unalterable_a divine_a pattern_n of_o church-government_n under_o the_o gospel_n i_o pray_v inform_v i_o why_o it_o be_v not_o as_o punctual_o as_o particular_o describe_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n as_o the_o form_n of_o the_o tabernacle_n of_o its_o material_n with_o all_o the_o service_n ornament_n appurtenance_n of_o it_o and_o of_o the_o

in_o this_o manner_n then_o by_o consequence_n the_o government_n discipline_n under_o the_o gospel_n be_v variable_a alterable_a too_o and_o so_o not_o fix_v nor_o immutable_a his_o second_o argument_n that_o christ_n shall_v neither_o be_v faithful_a as_o a_o husband_n head_n nor_o king_n of_o his_o church_n if_o he_o shall_v give_v other_o power_n to_o order_v it_o as_o they_o please_v to_o their_o own_o civil_a government_n not_o set_v down_o his_o own_o law_n for_o they_o to_o walk_v by_o be_v both_o a_o fallacy_n and_o absurdity_n there_o be_v no_o man_n doubt_n but_o that_o christ_n in_o the_o scripture_n which_o some_o of_o you_o refuse_v to_o hear_v read_v in_o our_o church_n though_o *_o 27._o public_a read_n of_o they_o be_v god_n own_o ordinance_n have_v prescribe_v to_o we_o all_o necessary_a rule_n and_o law_n both_o for_o our_o faith_n and_o live_v either_o in_o a_o general_a or_o special_a manner_n but_o that_o christ_n have_v punctual_o and_o particular_o

*_o 40_o let_v all_o thing_n be_v do_v decent_o and_o in_o order_n a_o general_a rule_n for_o church-government_n be_v sufficient_a to_o excuse_v christ_n from_o these_o your_o presumptuous_a
