be_v find_v in_o either_o of_o they_o it_o be_v very_o surprise_v that_o ever_o since_o the_o reformation_n in_o this_o island_n there_o have_v be_v two_o party_n which_o have_v set_v up_o for_o

government_n that_o nothing_o will_v please_v either_o of_o they_o if_o its_o government_n be_v not_o of_o divine_a institution_n by_o which_o the_o one_o party_n can_v damn_v the_o other_o but_o upon_o what_o ground_n either_o of_o they_o can_v call_v its_o church_n government_n jure_fw-la divino_fw-la if_o it_o be_v not_o institute_v in_o every_o point_n by_o god_n as_o the_o jewish_a

yet_o reveal_v be_v evident_a because_o there_o be_v none_o in_o all_o the_o new_a testament_n unless_o we_o be_v persuade_v that_o when_o we_o read_v the_o word_n bishop_n deacon_n diaconess_n we_o have_v find_v the_o very_a individual_a scheme_n of_o government_n that_o be_v in_o use_n among_o the_o apostle_n for_o my_o part_n i_o understand_v no_o more_o of_o their_o church_n government_n by_o

state_n second_o if_o the_o apostle_n have_v constitute_v a_o church_n government_n after_o which_o we_o be_v oblige_v to_o model_n one_o as_o if_o it_o be_v immediate_o from_o god_n sure_o we_o must_v understand_v it_o in_o all_o its_o part_n otherwise_o we_o can_v follow_v it_o in_o all_o its_o form_n but_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o constitute_v their_o church_n government_n be_v but_o little_o know_v to_o we_o therefore_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o we_o to_o follow_v their_o practice_n in_o form_v a_o church_n government_n nor_o do_v we_o follow_v at_o

presbyterian_a government_n want_v diaconess_n and_o other_o officer_n which_o be_v in_o use_n in_o the_o primitive_a church_n because_o by_o the_o same_o authority_n we_o either_o add_v or_o diminish_v from_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o church_n government_n if_o it_o be_v a_o article_n of_o faith_n by_o the_o same_o authority_n we_o can_v change_v their_o practice_n altogether_o last_o i_o can_v believe_v that_o any_o particular_a form_n of_o church_n government_n be_v prescribe_v to_o all_o particular_a church_n otherwise_o we_o may_v reasonable_o suppose_v that_o the_o apostle_n who_o have_v be_v at_o the_o pain_n to_o write_v down_o all_o that_o be_v necessary_a to_o be_v believe_v will_v not_o have_v omit_v to_o leave_v it_o to_o posterity_n see_v then_o that_o we_o have_v no_o scheme_n of_o church-government_n in_o the_o scripture_n where_o must_v we_o go_v next_o to_o prove_v either_o the_o episcopal_a or_o presbyterian_a government_n to_o be_v of_o divine_a institution_n i_o suppose_v it_o must_v be_v from_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o father_n of_o the_o first_o century_n but_o if_o they_o be_v man_n like_o unto_o ourselves_o
