A87828 Seven questions about the controversie betweene the Church of England, and the Separatists and Anabaptists, breifely [sic] discussed. 1. Whether is the Church of England as it now stands a true church? 2. Whether the Church of England be a right nationall church? 3. Whether are the ministers in the Church of England sent of God, and so are true ministers or not? 4. Whether is the baptisme of infants a true and lawfull baptisme or no? 5. Whether it be lawfull to be rebaptized or not? 6. Whether it is lawfull to separate from all the publike ordinances and Christian assemblies in our English church, because there are some defects in discipline, and in other things amongst us? 7. Whether is it necessarie to demolish our churches (steeple-houses as the Separatists call them,) and to build them in other places, because they were built by idolators for idolatrous worship, were abused with images, and dedicated to saints? By Immanuel Knutton, preacher of Gods word at Beeston in Nottingham shire [sic]. Knutton, Immanuel, d. 1655. 1645 (1645) Wing K744; Thomason E25_20; ESTC R4217 31,540 40

the_o business_n i_o speak_v of_o object_n but_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n shall_v be_v call_v in_o a_o church_n way_n by_o the_o church_n and_o not_o be_v obtrude_v upon_o they_o as_o many_o minister_n in_o this_o church_n be_v against_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o people_n in_o this_o land_n people_n be_v profane_a as_o heathen_n and_o be_v no_o church_n can_v choose_v minister_n neither_o be_v such_o true_a minister_n as_o be_v call_v by_o they_o ans_fw-fr 1._o i_o think_v every_o godly_a and_o learned_a minister_n will_v not_o account_v himself_o a_o minister_n send_v of_o god_n as_o he_o have_v his_o call_n from_o the_o prelate_n but_o will_v rather_o look_v at_o his_o divine_a qualification_n for_o the_o lord_n work_v as_o his_o internal_a call_n from_o god_n and_o at_o his_o people_n election_n of_o he_o to_o such_o a_o charge_n as_o his_o outward_a call_n and_o will_v look_v at_o the_o episcopal_a ordination_n as_o a_o mere_a ceremony_n which_o can_v nullify_v his_o divine_a call_n from_o god_n and_o the_o church_n 2._o i_o conceive_v that_o sometime_o a_o minister_n may_v be_v send_v of_o god_n to_o preach_v the_o word_n when_o the_o people_n desire_v he_o not_o as_o after_o christ_n ascension_n the_o apostle_n disperse_v the_o gospel_n in_o divers_a heathenish_a nation_n so_o may_v it_o now_o fall_v out_o if_o a_o minister_n shall_v go_v and_o preach_v among_o the_o pagan_n and_o convert_v divers_a of_o they_o to_o the_o truth_n for_o aught_o i_o see_v he_o may_v be_v true_o say_v to_o be_v a_o minister_n send_v of_o god_n 3._o though_o our_o land_n have_v many_o profane_n in_o it_o yet_o it_o be_v a_o nationall_n church_n as_o i_o prove_v i_o shall_v propose_v this_o quaere_fw-la to_o the_o conscience_n of_o any_o reasonable_a man_n suppose_v a_o profane_a parish_n where_o no_o mean_n of_o grace_n ever_o be_v nor_o any_o godly_a christian_a ever_o dwell_v shall_v from_o the_o conviction_n of_o the_o necessity_n of_o preach_v make_v earnest_a suit_n to_o some_o godly_a and_o able_a minister_n not_o tie_v to_o any_o other_o charge_n to_o be_v their_o pastor_n and_o teach_v they_o the_o way_n to_o life_n i_o demand_v whether_o this_o man_n have_v a_o true_a divine_a call_n from_o god_n to_o they_o or_o not_o i_o conceive_v he_o have_v though_o they_o be_v not_o a_o true_a church_n yet_o they_o may_v be_v god_n by_o his_o spirit_n may_v excite_v in_o they_o a_o true_a desire_n after_o the_o word_n and_o that_o minister_n may_v have_v much_o work_n to_o do_v there_o act_n 16.30_o paul_n and_o silas_n have_v a_o true_a call_n to_o go_v into_o the_o jaylours_n house_n at_o his_o question_n of_o they_o about_o salvation_n though_o he_o be_v not_o full_o convert_v 4._o i_o think_v a_o minister_n may_v be_v true_o send_v of_o god_n by_o a_o synod_n of_o godly_a and_o learned_a divine_n to_o a_o pastoral_n charge_n though_o the_o people_n sometime_o call_v he_o not_o as_o if_o he_o be_v to_o preach_v the_o word_n in_o a_o prophain_n parish_n that_o desire_v not_o powerful_a preach_n but_o hate_v it_o and_o will_v oppose_v the_o come_n in_o of_o such_o a_o minister_n the_o synod_n may_v send_v he_o to_o such_o a_o place_n and_o god_n may_v bless_v his_o labour_n to_o the_o conversion_n of_o many_o there_o a_o learned_a synod_n be_v better_a able_a to_o judge_v of_o a_o minister_n ability_n and_o fidility_n for_o that_o sacred_a function_n than_o a_o vulgar_a congregation_n and_o there_o be_v too_o many_o ignorant_a parish_n in_o this_o land_n who_o will_v hardly_o ever_o call_v zealous_a and_o godly_a minister_n to_o they_o if_o our_o bless_a parliament_n and_o reverend_a synod_n have_v not_o a_o care_n to_o send_v such_o to_o they_o object_n but_o the_o minister_n of_o this_o

gospel_n than_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o they_o signify_v a_o far_o large_a maintenance_n for_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n than_o the_o leviticall_a priesthood_n have_v because_o the_o office_n of_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v of_o great_a worth_n &_o excellency_n than_o the_o office_n of_o priest_n and_o levite_n under_o the_o law_n also_o because_o the_o antitype_n or_o

as_o some_o say_v for_o this_o be_v to_o make_v a_o certainty_n tipyfie_v a_o uncertainty_n that_o tithe_n be_v moral_a and_o so_o perpetual_a i_o thus_o prove_v it_o 1_o cor._n 9.13.14_o that_o be_v
