A46373	Jus divinum ministerii evangelici. Or The divine right of the Gospel-ministry: divided into two parts. The first part containing a justification of the Gospel-ministry in general. The necessity of ordination thereunto by imposition of hands. The unlawfulnesse of private mens assuming to themselves either the office or work of the ministry without a lawfull call and ordination. The second part containing a justification of the present ministers of England, both such as were ordained during the prevalency of episcopacy from the foul aspersion of anti-christianism: and those who have been ordained since its abolition, from the unjust imputation of novelty: proving that a bishop and presbyter are all one in Scripture; and that ordination by presbyters is most agreeable to the Scripture-patern. Together with an appendix, wherein the judgement and practice of antiquity about the whole matter of episcopacy, and especially about the ordination of ministers, is briefly discussed. Published by the Provincial Assembly of London.	London (England). Provincial Assembly.; Calamy, Edmund, 1600-1666.	1654 (1654)	Wing J1216A; ESTC R213934	266,099	375

for_o i_o to_o write_v to_o you_o yet_o in_o that_o very_a chapter_n he_o use_v many_o argument_n and_o profess_v that_o he_o think_v it_o necessary_a to_o prepare_v their_o bounty_n and_o to_o stir_v

but_o such_o a_o measure_n and_o degree_n be_v deny_v and_o so_o it_o must_v be_v here_o 1._o because_o when_o these_o promise_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o teach_v every_o man_n his_o brother_n be_v fullfil_v and_o all_o the_o saint_n be_v teach_v of_o god_n yet_o even_o then_o be_v they_o teach_v by_o a_o outward_a ministry_n christ_n himself_o teach_v daily_o in_o the_o temple_n he_o even_o

so_o that_o in_o those_o primitive_a time_n the_o inward_a spiritual_a teach_n of_o god_n do_v not_o take_v away_o that_o teach_n which_o he_o himself_o have_v ordain_v to_o be_v external_a and_o ministerial_a 2._o this_o negation_n in_o this_o promise_n must_v be_v only_o comparative_a and_o not_o universal_a and_o absolute_a because_o than_o it_o will_v not_o only_o destroy_v the_o ministry_n as_o unnecessary_a in_o public_a but_o also_o evacuate_v and_o disannul_v all_o brotherly_a admonition_n in_o private_a and_o then_o all_o godly_a conference_n and_o fraternal_a reproof_n shall_v be_v prohibit_v as_o sin_n which_o none_o can_v deny_v to_o be_v command_v as_o duty_n and_o such_o duty_n as_o be_v perpetual_a in_o gospel-time_n for_o all_o saint_n at_o all_o time_n be_v

because_o by_o the_o same_o argument_n there_o shall_v be_v no_o need_n of_o scripture_n because_o the_o scripture_n itself_o also_o be_v external_a and_o this_o be_v not_o a_o malicious_a

so_o there_o be_v no_o rule_n leave_v to_o try_v the_o spirit_n which_o be_v ever_o needful_a because_o many_o false_a prophet_n be_v go_v out_o into_o the_o world_n then_o there_o be_v no_o way_n
