consist_v of_o person_n baptize_v and_o baptize_v they_o none_o can_v but_o he_o that_o be_v a_o minister_n christ_n therefore_o choose_v apostle_n before_o church_n and_o the_o apostle_n ordain_v elder_n to_o gather_v church_n to_o this_o they_o answer_v 1._o a_o church_n must_v needs_o be_v before_o a_o officer_n because_o he_o that_o be_v a_o officer_n be_v make_v a_o officer_n only_o to_o a_o church_n and_o therefore_o the_o church_n be_v presuppose_v reply_n this_o be_v a_o mere_a beg_n of_o the_o question_n and_o we_o have_v already_o at_o large_a confute_v it_o and_o show_v that_o a_o minister_n be_v a_o officer_n and_o act_n as_o a_o officer_n even_o to_o such_o as_o be_v no_o church_n 2._o the_o apostle_n be_v extraordinary_a officer_n and_o therefore_o that_o instance_n prove_v not_o that_o ordinary_a officer_n must_v be_v before_o church_n reply_n our_o brethren_n must_v take_v heed_n of_o deny_v the_o exemplarinesse_n of_o the_o apostle_n to_o ordinary_a minister_n in_o the_o administration_n of_o church_n affair_n they_o themselves_o do_v oft_o make_v use_n of_o it_o and_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v by_o any_o rational_a or_o ingenious_a man_n that_o the_o apostle_n as_o in_o some_o thing_n they_o do_v act_v as_o extraordinary_a officer_n and_o be_v no_o precedent_n for_o we_o as_o in_o single_a and_o absolute_a jurisdiction_n etc._n etc._n so_o in_o other_o thing_n their_o act_n be_v ordinary_a and_o there_o example_n bind_v as_o to_o we_o as_o their_o preach_n baptise_v etc._n etc._n and_o that_o this_o case_n be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n may_v appear_v from_o hence_o because_o the_o same_o reason_n which_o make_v it_o necessary_a fo●_n apostle_n to_o be_v before_o church_n make_v it_o also_o necessary_a for_o other_o minister_n to_o be_v before_o they_o for_o the_o reason_n why_o the_o apostle_n be_v to_o be_v before_o church_n be_v this_o because_o by_o they_o church_n be_v to_o be_v gather_v and_o baptize_v and_o thus_o it_o be_v with_o the_o ordinary_a minister_n of_o those_o time_n they_o also_o be_v institute_v then_o and_o be_v so_o now_o by_o that_o last_a institution_n eph_n 4_o 11._o etc._n etc._n not_o only_o for_o the_o build_n up_o of_o church_n already_o constitute_v but_o also_o for_o the_o bring_n in_o of_o those_o who_o be_v not_o yet_o gather_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v and_o be_v necessary_a still_o that_o minister_n be_v before_o church_n 3._o they_o say_v act_v 14._o 23._o when_o they_o have_v choose_v they_o elder_n in_o every_o church_n the_o church_n therefore_o be_v before_o the_o choose_n of_o elder_n reply_n 1._o that_o instance_n do_v not_o at_o all_o enervate_a our_o assertion_n for_o although_o some_o church_n may_v be_v before_o some_o elder_n which_o we_o never_o deny_v yet_o in_o the_o general_a a_o minister_n must_v needs_o be_v before_o a_o church_n and_o thus_o much_o shall_v suffice_v for_o the_o vindication_n of_o those_o argument_n which_o the_o assembly_n use_v to_o show_v that_o the_o essence_n of_o the_o call_n do_v not_o lie_v in_o election_n it_o now_o remain_v that_o i_o undertake_v the_o defence_n of_o those_o argument_n which_o they_o use_v to_o show_v that_o the_o essence_n of_o the_o ministerial_a call_n do_v consist_v in_o ordination_n wherein_o i_o must_v still_o crave_v the_o continuance_n of_o the_o liberty_n i_o have_v use_v i._n e._n not_o put_v myself_o or_o the_o reader_n to_o unnecessary_a trouble_n in_o animadvert_v upon_o every_o passage_n but_o only_o to_o observe_v such_o thing_n as_o be_v argumentative_a and_o have_v not_o yet_o fall_v within_o our_o cognizance_n chap._n xiiii_o the_o assembly_n urge_v 2_o tim._n 1._o 6._o and_o 1_o tim._n 4._o 14._o they_o answer_v 1._o it_o be_v questionable_a whether_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n be_v here_o mean_v of_o ordination_n for_o that_o ceremony_n be_v use_v in_o the_o collation_n of_o gift_n also_o reply_n but_o forasmuch_o as_o this_o lay_n on_o of_o hand_n be_v do_v by_o a_o ordinary_a presbytery_n which_o have_v not_o such_o a_o power_n of_o confer_v gift_n by_o the_o lay_n on_o of_o hand_n that_o be_v the_o peculiar_a privilege_n of_o extraordinary_a officer_n therefore_o it_o can_v here_o be_v rational_o suppose_v to_o be_v so_o use_v in_o this_o place_n but_o only_o for_o ordination_n and_o therefore_o this_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d here_o say_v to_o be_v convey_v must_v needs_o be_v rather_o conclude_v to_o be_v a_o office_n which_o we_o often_o read_v to_o have_v be_v confer_v by_o ordinary_a officer_n than_o a_o gift_n which_o we_o never_o read_v that_o a_o ordinary_a officer_n be_v entrust_v to_o convey_v but_o that_o our_o brethren_n will_v not_o bear_v with_o for_o 2._o they_o say_v this_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d be_v not_o a_o
