it_o but_o not_o as_o rule_v officer_n in_o it_o as_o shall_v more_o full_o be_v show_v the_o first_o question_n be_v whether_o the_o parochial_a and_o congregational_a eldership_n appoint_v by_o

whether_o any_o particular_a church_n government_n be_v jure_fw-la divino_fw-la and_o what_o that_o government_n be_v i_o answer_v if_o the_o first_o of_o these_o the_o parochial_a congregational_a eldership_n be_v understand_v the_o vicar_n or_o curate_n together_o with_o the_o churchwarden_n and_o sideman_n in_o the_o parish_n be_v all_o under_o the_o prelatical_a government_n &_o be_v neither_o scripture_n name_n nor_o officer_n but_o rather_o antichristian_a invention_n these_o can_v proper_o be_v call_v eldership_n see_v the_o officer_n bear_v not_o the_o name_n of_o elder_n these_o have_v be_v prove_v by_o many_o to_o be_v rather_o antichristian_a then_o jure_fw-la divino_fw-la and_o see_v the_o main_a pillar_n of_o antichrist_n be_v tumble_v down_o these_o bear_v his_o name_n shall_v tumble_v down_o together_o with_o he_o and_o i_o hope_v they_o need_v no_o further_a answer_n the_o next_o thing_n considerable_a be_v whether_o any_o other_o congregational_a or_o presbyterial_a eldership_n be_v jure_fw-la divino_fw-la and_o by_o the_o will_n and_o appointment_n of_o jesus_n christ_n to_o the_o first_o of_o these_o i_o answer_v negative_o that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o church_n in_o scripture_n as_o they_o call_v independent_a or_o congregational_a church_n and_o the_o prove_v of_o this_o will_v satisfy_v that_o there_o congregational_a eldership_n be_v not_o jure_v divine_a of_o divine_a institution_n nor_o their_o church_n but_o to_o be_v demolish_v as_o the_o prelatical_a for_o who_o can_v bring_v a_o clean_a thing_n out_o of_o a_o unclean_a not_o one_o job_n 14.4_o i_o prove_v the_o point_n by_o this_o argument_n if_o there_o be_v no_o church_n in_o scripture_n belong_v peculiar_o to_o one_o man_n as_o to_z peter_z james_n or_o john_n and_o to_o bear_v his_o name_n to_o be_v call_v his_o church_n as_o be_v peculiar_o by_o he_o gather_v as_o they_o say_v into_o a_o churchway_n as_o the_o independent_a church_n be_v both_o name_v and_o gather_v then_o independent_a church_n be_v not_o of_o divine_a institution_n and_o if_o not_o their_o church_n much_o less_o their_o eldership_n but_o there_o be_v no_o shch_fw-mi church_n in_o scripture_n so_o gather_v and_o so_o name_v ergo_fw-la the_o independent_a churchway_n be_v of_o no_o divine_a institution_n much_o less_o be_v their_o eldership_n jure_fw-la divino_fw-la or_o according_a to_o the_o will_n and_o appointment_n of_o jesus_n christ_n the_o major_a part_n of_o the_o proposition_n i_o suppose_v all_o man_n will_v grant_v and_o for_o the_o minor_a i_o shall_v prove_v by_o take_v a_o view_n of_o those_o scripture_n church_n which_o they_o chief_o will_v have_v to_o be_v independent_a be_v of_o the_o first_o plant_n first_o that_o hundred_o and_o twenty_o name_n act_n 1.15_o some_o of_o they_o have_v affirm_v to_o be_v a_o independent_a church_n or_o congregation_n because_o say_v they_o that_o 120._o name_n be_v make_v up_o both_o of_o man_n and_o woman_n act_n 1.14_o therefore_o say_v they_o it_o be_v a_o indedependent_a church_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v those_o woman_n there_o mention_v be_v not_o of_o this_o company_n for_o that_o be_v before_o this_o and_o those_o man_n and_o woman_n there_o speak_v of_o be_v at_o prayer_n together_o and_o it_o be_v very_o likely_a the_o cause_n of_o it_o be_v to_o seek_v the_o lord_n for_o a_o blessing_n upon_o this_o weighty_a business_n which_o be_v the_o choice_n of_o another_o apostle_n in_o stead_n of_o judas_n for_o in_o those_o day_n it_o be_v say_v that_o peter_n stand_v up_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o disciple_n and_o say_v the_o number_n of_o name_n together_o be_v about_o a_o hundred_o and_o twenty_o and_o he_o that_o be_v judas_n be_v number_v with_o we_o but_o since_o he_o by_o transgression_n fall_v let_v another_o take_v his_o office_n wherefore_o of_o those_o man_n number_v to_o be_v a_o hundred_o and_o twenty_o together_o which_o have_v accompany_v we_o all_o the_o time_n that_o the_o lord_n jesus_n go_v in_o and_o out_o among_o we_o from_o the_o baptism_n of_o john_n unto_o the_o same_o day_n that_o he_o be_v take_v up_o from_o we_o must_v one_o be_v ordain_v to_o be_v a_o witness_n with_o we_o of_o his_o resurrection_n ver._n 21_o 22._o hence_o i_o gather_v that_o if_o the_o hundred_o and_o twenty_o name_n be_v all_o man_n as_o peter_n here_o affirm_v than_o it_o be_v not_o that_o company_n that_o be_v at_o prayer_n before_o for_o a_o blessing_n upon_o this_o weighty_a business_n in_o the_o choose_n of_o another_o apostle_n in_o stead_n of_o judas_n then_o this_o be_v not_o a_o single_a congregation_n but_o it_o be_v the_o officer_n be_v then_o assemble_v in_o a_o presbytery_n upon_o the_o choice_n of_o another_o
