baptize_v of_o he_o yea_o among_o the_o pharisce_n there_o be_v those_o that_o touch_v the_o righteousness_n which_o be_v in_o the_o law_n be_v unrebukeable_a 6._o they_o be_v as_o it_o appear_v most_o of_o they_o levites_n open_o call_v and_o authorise_v to_o preach_v by_o the_o elder_n and_o people_n in_o the_o synagognes_n and_o sure_o that_o it_o be_v but_o a_o vain_a exception_n which_o master_n cartwright_n make_v of_o the_o high_a priest_n 28._o that_o he_o be_v make_v a_o yearly_a officer_n and_o come_v in_o by_o simony_n into_o his_o office_n for_o eleazar_n be_v make_v high_a priest_n while_o aaron_n the_o high_a priest_n yet_o live_v 35._o and_o zadok_n be_v make_v high_a priest_n 42._o and_o abiathar_n and_o his_o son_n put_v from_o the_o priesthood_n 30._o when_o as_o yet_o the_o covenant_n of_o the_o priesthood_n pertain_v by_o the_o law_n unto_o abiathar_n and_o his_o house_n but_o necessity_n and_o just_a occasion_n do_v oftentimes_o make_v change_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n and_o yet_o no_o corruption_n nor_o abuse_n come_v thereby_o wherefore_o for_o answer_v i_o say_v that_o the_o priesthood_n be_v not_o make_v a_o yearly_a office_n but_o that_o by_o course_n every_o year_n two_o priest_n do_v execute_v the_o office_n and_o this_o seem_v to_o be_v tolerable_a by_o the_o law_n see_v that_o if_o one_o priest_n shall_v be_v sick_a or_o let_v by_o some_o great_a occafion_n the_o other_o may_v be_v in_o his_o stead_n as_o we_o show_v before_o that_o eeleazar_n be_v choose_v high_a priest_n 13._o while_o aaron_n yet_o live_v and_o zadok_v in_o

be_v much_o doubt_n and_o controversy_n to_o which_o of_o the_o priest_n the_o priesthood_n do_v belong_v as_o also_o we_o may_v read_v in_o josephus_n and_o therefore_o two_o chief_o stand_v for_o it_o there_o be_v two_o choose_v to_o it_o and_o because_o the_o law_n of_o god_n do_v not_o suffer_v two_o at_o once_o to_o be_v in_o the_o office_n they_o do_v succeed_v one_o another_o in_o the_o execution_n of_o the_o office_n again_o see_v they_o be_v of_o the_o son_n of_o aaron_n and_o call_v after_o the_o order_n of_o aaron_n 4._o no_o doubt_n their_o call_n be_v lawful_a and_o good_a otherwise_o if_o any_o at_o that_o time_n have_v be_v lawful_a high_a priest_n and_o yet_o not_o lawful_o call_v as_o be_v aaron_n than_o the_o apostle_n will_v not_o have_v set_v down_o this_o for_o a_o general_a truth_n that_o no_o man_n take_v this_o honour_n unto_o himself_o but_o he_o that_o be_v call_v of_o god_n as_o be_v aaron_n neither_o let_v he_o here_o shift_v off_o our_o answer_n by_o his_o fond_a distinction_n of_o the_o essence_n of_o a_o priest_n and_o of_o a_o lawful_a priest_n which_o before_o be_v refute_v as_o for_o simony_n wherewith_o he_o charge_v the_o high_a priest_n he_o can_v not_o prove_v it_o against_o they_o for_o if_o the_o roman_n overrule_a they_o do_v grievous_o exact_v their_o tribute_n and_o payment_n both_o of_o christ_n himself_o 〈◊〉_d as_o we_o may_v read_v in_o matth_n and_o of_o the_o high_a priest_n it_o be_v no_o more_o simony_n in_o the_o priest_n than_o it_o be_v in_o christ_n to_o pay_v they_o their_o exaction_n for_o the_o priesthood_n be_v their_o right_n see_v it_o pertain_v unto_o they_o be_v the_o son_n of_o aaron_n yet_o can_v not_o master_n cartwright_n prove_v that_o they_o pay_v any_o money_n when_o they_o take_v their_o right_n or_o if_o they_o do_v that_o they_o thereby_o buy_v their_o right_n and_o not_o rather_o pay_v a_o exaction_n which_o the_o roman_n demand_v when_o they_o take_v their_o right_n but_o suppose_v that_o secret_o they_o give_v bribe_n to_o the_o roman_n &_o deal_v by_o simony_n yet_o that_o be_v hide_v and_o not_o manifest_a to_o the_o people_n they_o be_v to_o be_v take_v of_o man_n as_o lawful_o call_v to_o that_o office_n for_o if_o the_o law_n and_o common_a tribute_n exact_v money_n of_o they_o they_o may_v pay_v it_o as_o well_o as_o christ._n if_o the_o officer_n do_v exact_v any_o beside_o law_n they_o do_v it_o secret_o lest_o they_o themselves_o shall_v be_v condemn_v by_o law_n and_o so_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o no_o simony_n can_v be_v lay_v to_o their_o charge_n and_o therefore_o no_o marvel_n though_o christ_n bid_v the_o man_n show_v himself_o to_o the_o high_a priest_n for_o before_o the_o high_a priest_n become_v open_a persecuter_n there_o be_v a_o lawful_a communion_n to_o be_v have_v with_o they_o but_o this_o communion_n be_v afterward_o break_v and_o make_v unlawful_a through_o their_o open_a wickedness_n also_o it_o be_v false_a which_o

follow_v in_o their_o election_n or_o deposition_n then_o how_o far_o they_o may_v be_v use_v nay_o the_o prophet_n there_o speak_v nothing_o of_o elect_v they_o or_o depose_v they_o by_o man_n but_o rather_o of_o the_o plague_n or_o destruction_n that_o shall_v come_v upon_o they_o yea_o he_o show_v that_o through_o the_o ignorance_n of_o the_o priest_n all_o wickedness_n and_o idolatry_n reign_v 9_o and_o therefore_o he_o say_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v like_o people_n like_o priest_n mean_v that_o they_o shall_v have_v a_o like_a destruction_n now_o master_n cartwright_n dare_v not_o say_v that_o all_o abominable_a wickedness_n and_o idolatry_n reign_v and_o the_o priest_n themselves_o be_v wicked_a idolater_n i_o say_v he_o dare_v not_o affirm_v that_o they_o hold_v the_o covenant_n or_o be_v the_o people_n or_o church_n of_o god_n for_o before_o he_o have_v say_v the_o contrary_n and_o how_o then_o dare_v he_o say_v that_o such_o priest_n be_v yet_o priest_n unto_o god_n and_o

give_v the_o right_a hand_n of_o society_n unto_o our_o english_a assembly_n which_o proof_n he_o confess_v not_o to_o be_v so_o strong_a yet_o strong_a enough_o to_o stay_v all_o sudden_a judgement_n and_o so_o long_o to_o cause_v silence_n till_o on_o either_o side_n the_o light_n of_o the_o truth_n do_v break_v forth_o i_o will_v not_o hear_v enter_v into_o that_o question_n whether_o the_o

by_o general_a consent_n do_v condemn_v they_o let_v every_o one_o judge_n but_o sure_o paul_n witness_v 15._o that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o his_o child_n search_v out_o all_o thing_n even_o the_o deep_a thing_n of_o god_n yea_o it_o judge_v and_o know_v all_o thing_n that_o be_v of_o god_n and_o again_o he_o say_v that_o he_o which_o be_v spiritual_a discern_v all_o thing_n yet_o he_o himself_o be_v judge_v of_o no_o man_n meaning_n that_o indeed_o worldly_a man_n can_v not_o right_o judge_v of_o he_o wherefore_o the_o godly_a may_v free_o both_o judge_n and_o give_v their_o judgement_n even_o of_o all_o assembly_n which_o they_o know_v whether_o they_o be_v the_o true_a church_n of_o god_n 9_o and_o in_o another_o place_n he_o command_v not_o only_o to_o mind_n judge_n &_o think_v on_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v true_a and_o honest_a and_o just_a and_o pure_a but_o also_o to_o do_v they_o wherefore_o as_o we_o ought_v to_o love_v the_o godly_a and_o their_o assembly_n 9_o so_o our_o love_n as_o paul_n teach_v we_o ought_v to_o abound_v more_o and_o more_o in_o knowledge_n and_o in_o all_o judgement_n that_o we_o may_v discern_v thing_n that_o differ_v especial_o that_o we_o may_v know_v the_o house_n of_o god_n from_o a_o den_n of_o thief_n but_o herein_o master_n cartwright_n do_v much_o abuse_v we_o and_o also_o all_o the_o church_n of_o europe_n for_o neither_o we_o do_v cast_v out_o the_o church_n of_o two_o whole_a island_n as_o he_o say_v neither_o do_v they_o hold_v they_o all_o in_o for_o though_o the_o fame_n of_o the_o martyr_n of_o
