A55393	Quo warranto, or, A moderate enquiry into the warrantablenesse of the preaching of gifted and unordained persons where also some other questions are discussed : viz. concerning [brace] ministerial relation, election, ordination : being a vindication of the late Jus divinum ministerii evangeliei ... from the exceptions of Mr. John Martin, Mr. Sam. Pette, Mr. Frederick Woodal ... in their late book, intituled The preacher sent / by Matthew Poole ...	Poole, Matthew, 1624-1679.	1659 (1659)	Wing P2850; ESTC R33938	110,108	175

all_o scripture-preacher_n may_v challenge_v maintenance_n or_o only_o such_o preacher_n as_o be_v in_o office-relation_n to_o those_o to_o who_o they_o preach_v and_o of_o who_o they_o challenge_v maintenance_n but_o not_o only_o such_o preacher_n may_v challenge_v maintenance_n as_o be_v in_o office-relation_n to_o they_o therefore_o all_o scripture-preacher_n may_v challenge_v this_o maintenance_n the_o minor_a for_o that_o only_o be_v liable_a to_o exception_n i_o prove_v thus_o the_o apostle_n say_v our_o brethren_n be_v only_o in_o office-relation_n to_o the_o church_n and_o

not_o believe_v the_o people_n be_v oblige_v to_o give_v he_o carnals_n for_o his_o spirituall_n if_o they_o affirm_v it_o as_o i_o believe_v they_o have_v too_o much_o ingenuity_n to_o deny_v it_o and_o the_o forego_n place_n full_o evince_v it_o than_o we_o have_v gain_v thus_o much_o that_o the_o maintenance_n be_v not_o due_a only_o to_o such_o as_o be_v office-wise_a relate_v to_o those_o to_o who_o they_o preach_v but_o to_o all_o scripture-preacher_n which_o be_v the_o thing_n to_o be_v prove_v and_o so_o we_o have_v secure_v the_o major_a for_o the_o minor_a it_o be_v needless_a to_o spend_v time_n about_o it_o for_o our_o brethren_n grant_v it_o and_o beside_o it_o speak_v for_o itself_o for_o if_o all_o gift_a man_n be_v bind_v to_o preach_v as_o our_o brethren_n assert_v and_o if_o in_o church_n many_o man_n be_v and_o all_o aught_o to_o covet_v to_o be_v so_o gift_v which_o also_o they_o assert_v than_o the_o maintenance_n of_o such_o will_v be_v both_o absurd_a

on_o he_o of_o who_o he_o hear_v not_o etc._n etc._n and_o that_o this_o only_a be_v mean_v of_o a_o moral_a impossibility_n will_v be_v hard_a to_o conclude_v but_o the_o answer_n be_v easy_a that_o it_o be_v a_o very_a frequent_a thing_n in_o scripture_n for_o the_o same_o word_n to_o be_v use_v in_o divers_a sense_n as_o let_v the_o dead_a i._n e._n spiritual_o bury_v the_o dead_a i._n e._n

here_o speak_v of_o be_v not_o providential_a i_o shall_v add_v no_o more_o upon_o this_o account_n only_o there_o be_v some_o argument_n which_o they_o offer_v to_o prove_v that_o this_o mission_n here_o speak_v of_o be_v not_o constitutive_a of_o a_o minister_n 1._o they_o say_v the_o apostle_n be_v officer_n and_o yet_o have_v mission_n afterward_o mat._n 28._o 19_o ans._n 1._o officer_n

because_o the_o apostle_n say_v how_o shall_v they_o hear_v without_o a_o preacher_n see_v god_n may_v work_v faith_n by_o immediate_a inspiration_n so_o it_o follow_v not_o that_o it_o be_v simple_o
