battery_n follow_v but_o say_v m._n s._n the_o intent_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v to_o show_v that_o all_o the_o particular_a member_n in_o all_o their_o affair_n must_v submit_v themselves_o to_o the_o instruction_n and_o guidance_n of_o the_o elder_n for_o although_o christ_n have_v place_v the_o elder_n as_o steward_n over_o the_o servant_n yet_o he_o have_v not_o appoint_v they_o as_o

without_o all_o equity_n as_o the_o judicious_a reader_n may_v easy_o perceiv_v for_o his_o reason_n be_v to_o this_o effect_n if_o elder_n be_v steward_n over_o the_o servant_n and_o not_o lord_n over_o the_o wife_n the_o church_n then_o be_v not_o the_o church_n to_o obey_v or_o submit_v unto_o they_o where_o learned_a the_o man_n this_o logik_n be_v there_o no_o obedience_n or_o submission_n

but_o this_o man_n be_v blind_v with_o his_o erroneous_a conceit_n for_o as_o in_o civil_a government_n we_o be_v to_o obey_v and_o submit_v not_o only_o to_o the_o king_n as_o unto_o the_o superior_a but_o 14._o also_o to_o the_o governor_n that_n be_v send_v of_o he_o so_o in_o government_n ecclesiastical_a we_o be_v to_o obey_v and_o submit_v not_o only_o to_o the_o king_n christ_n but_o to_o 17_o the_o elder_n his_o minister_n send_v of_o he_o to_o the_o one_o we_o submit_v as_o to_o the_o lord_n and_o king_n to_o the_o other_o as_o to_o servant_n and_o minister_n set_v over_o we_o by_o the_o lord_n again_o i_o will_v fain_o know_v whither_o mr._n sm._n think_v the_o elder_n to_o be_v lord_n over_o the_o particular_a member_n if_o he_o say_v yea_o i_o abhor_v his_o pride_n for_o it_o be_v injurious_a to_o christ_n the_o sole_a lord_n of_o all_o &_o every_o one_o in_o the_o church_n if_o nay_o than_o i_o detest_v his_o sophistry_n for_o by_o the_o same_o reason_n that_o he_o dissuade_v the_o whole_a flock_n from_o obedience_n he_o may_v also_o dissuade_v each_o particular_a member_n which_o yet_o he_o do_v not_o but_o yield_v the_o contrary_a now_o that_o the_o apostle_n intend_v not_o only_o the_o particular_a member_n but_o the_o general_a flock_n also_o be_v apparent_a first_o by_o his_o reason_n which_o he_o annex_v 17._o for_o they_o watch_v for_o your_o soul_n as_o they_o that_o must_v give_v account_n all_o good_a elder_n i_o ween_v do_v watch_n as_o well_o for_o the_o public_a church_n as_o for_o the_o private_a member_n and_o shall_v give_v account_n for_o the_o whole_a if_o then_o the_o apostle_n reason_n be_v of_o weight_n the_o whole_a flock_n as_o well_o as_o the_o particular_a sheep_n must_v obey_v and_o submit_v to_o such_o as_o watch_n over_o they_o second_o the_o apostle_n say_v elsewhere_o to_o the_o elder_n of_o a_o other_o church_n 28._o take_v heed_n to_o all_o the_o flock_n whereof_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v make_v you_o

&_o church_n mean_v not_o particular_a member_n but_o the_o general_a company_n under_o charge_n &_o guidance_n and_o if_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v set_v elder_n and_o shepherd_n over_o the_o

church_n to_o obey_v and_o submit_v unto_o their_o guide_n it_o shall_v be_v restreyn_v unto_o particular_a member_n for_o to_o obey_v such_o doctrine_n fit_v rather_o the_o confusion_n of_o babylon_n
