not_o be_v husbandman_n craft_n man_n etc_n etc_n &_o yet_o may_v have_v civil_a office_n i_o think_v far_o otherwise_o that_o although_o neither_o be_v lawful_a yet_o the_o one_o be_v more_o tolerable_a than_o the_o other_o for_o see_v after_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n there_o be_v no_o call_n under_o the_o sun_n weighty_a and_o which_o require_v great_a exercise_n of_o the_o mind_n then_o the_o office_n of_o the_o magistrate_n it_o be_v against_o all_o reason_n to_o lay_v this_o heavy_a burden_n upon_o a_o man_n that_o be_v already_o load_a and_o have_v as_o much_o as_o he_o be_v able_a to_o bear_v it_o be_v more_o equal_a if_o they_o will_v needs_o add_v unto_o the_o weight_n of_o this_o burden_n to_o lie_v some_o light_a charge_n of_o exercise_v &_o handy_a craft_n then_o to_o break_v his_o back_n with_o the_o charge_n of_o a_o civil_a magistrate_n and_o whereas_o in_o the_o policy_n of_o m._n doctor_n it_o seem_v a_o furtherance_n to_o the_o gospel_n to_o join_v these_o together_o which_o be_v also_o the_o policy_n of_o the_o idolater_n as_o i_o have_v before_o declare_v in_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n it_o have_v seem_v far_o otherwise_o which_o i_o doubt_v not_o do_v therefore_o separate_v the_o ministry_n from_o this_o pomp_n which_o be_v commendable_a in_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n least_o the_o efficacy_n and_o power_n of_o the_o simplicity_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o of_o the_o mynistery_n shall_v be_v obscure_v while_o man_n will_v attribute_v the_o conversion_n of_o soul_n unto_o the_o gospel_n dew_n unto_o the_o word_n and_o to_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n to_o these_o glorious_a show_n and_o lest_o while_o the_o minister_n have_v the_o word_n in_o one_o hand_n and_o the_o sword_n in_o the_o other_o man_n shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o judge_v so_o well_o in_o their_o conscience_n of_o the_o mighty_a operation_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o they_o for_o they_o may_v doubt_v with_o themselves_o whether_o the_o fear_n &_o out_o ward_v show_v of_o the_o minister_n carry_v some_o stroke_n with_o they_o in_o beleve_v the_o word_n but_o m._n doctor_n say_v that_o civil_a office_n be_v not_o to_o be_v count_v worldly_a affair_n but_o heavenly_a and_o spiritual_a it_o be_v so_o and_o yet_o when_o they_o be_v compare_v with_o the_o ecclesiastical_a office_n they_o may_v be_v call_v secular_a office_n for_o so_o much_o as_o they_o together_o with_o the_o care_n of_o religion_n procure_v and_o provide_v for_o the_o thing_n whereby_o we_o may_v quiet_o and_o commodious_o live_v here_o where_o the_o ecclesiastical_a office_n be_v immediate_o and_o only_o bend_v to_o procure_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o the_o salvation_n of_o man_n and_o in_o that_o signification_n of_o heavenly_a &_o spiritual_a which_o you_o take_v merchandise_n husbandry_n and_o the_o handy_a craft_n be_v heavenly_a and_o spiritual_a although_o not_o in_o the_o same_o degree_n all_o lawful_a calling_n come_v from_o god_n &_o return_v to_o he_o again_o that_o be_v he_o be_v both_o author_n of_o they_o and_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v refer_v to_o his_o glory_n so_o that_o if_o the_o minister_n may_v exercise_v all_o thing_n which_o be_v heavenly_a and_o spiritual_a you_o may_v as_o well_o bring_v he_o down_o to_o the_o plough_n as_o promote_v he_o to_o the_o court_n and_o whereas_o m._n doctor_n say_v that_o the_o office_n of_o a_o commissyoner_n be_v ecclesiastical_a because_o it_o handle_v ecclesiastical_a cause_n i_o marvel_v that_o he_o be_v so_o ignorant_a that_o he_o can_v not_o put_v a_o difference_n between_o give_v iudyciall_a sentence_n and_o appoint_v bodily_a punishment_n which_o be_v mere_a civil_a and_o between_o the_o understanding_n the_o truth_n of_o every_o such_o cause_n according_a as_o the_o word_n of_o god_n define_v of_o it_o which_o be_v a_o thing_n common_a as_o well_o unto_o the_o magistrate_n as_o unto_o the_o minister_n and_o wherein_o the_o minister_n because_o he_o ought_v to_o be_v most_o ready_a aught_o if_o need_v be_v consult_v with_o a_o other_o of_o master_n doctor_n reason_n be_v that_z as_o king_n do_v serve_v christ_n by_o make_v law_n for_o he_o so_o bishop_n do_v serve_v christ_n by_o execute_v law_n for_o he_o as_o though_o it_o pertain_v not_o unto_o the_o magistrate_n to_o execute_v law_n aswell_o as_o to_o make_v they_o and_o as_o if_o the_o magistrate_n be_v not_o therefore_o call_v a_o speak_a law_n because_o by_o execute_v they_o he_o do_v cause_n the_o law_n after_o a_o fashion_n to_o speak_v this_o be_v to_o divide_v the_o stake_n of_o the_o magistrate_n between_o he_o and_o the_o bishop_n yea_o to_o geve_v the_o bishop_n the_o best_a part_n of_o it_o for_o we_o know_v that_o with_o we_o the_o people_n be_v at_o make_v of_o the_o law_n which_o may_v not_o meddle_v with_o the_o execution_n of_o they_o and_o if_o m._n doctor_n say_v that_o he_o mean_v not_o hereby_o to_o shut_v the_o prince_n from_o execute_v the_o law_n then_z as_o his_o similitude_n when_o it_o be_v at_o the_o best_a prove_v nothing_o so_o by_o this_o mean_n it_o halt_v down_o right_a and_o be_v no_o similitude_n as_o for_o elie_n and_o samuel_n they_o be_v extraordinary_a example_n which_o may_v thereby_o appear_v for_o that_o both_o these_o office_n first_o meet_v in_o melchisedech_n &_o afterward_o in_o moses_n be_v by_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n sever_v when_o as_o the_o lord_n take_v from_o moses_n be_v so_o wise_a &_o godly_a a_o man_n the_o priesthood_n &_o give_v it_o to_o aaron_n and_o to_o his_o successor_n and_o so_o for_o so_o much_o as_o when_o the_o lord_n will_v polish_a his_o church_n &_o make_v it_o famous_a &_o renown_a in_o the_o world_n he_o give_v this_o order_n it_o appear_v that_o he_o will_v have_v this_o to_o be_v a_o perpetual_a rule_n unto_o his_o church_n and_o by_o so_o much_o it_o be_v the_o clear_a for_o that_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o tarry_v until_o moses_n death_n but_o take_v the_o priesthood_n away_o from_o moses_n which_o be_v a_o man_n as_o able_a to_o execute_v both_o as_z either_o elie_n or_o samuel_n and_o this_o may_v be_v also_o easy_o see_v for_o that_o in_o a_o manner_n always_o where_o there_o be_v any_o good_a and_o stay_a estate_n of_o the_o church_n these_o office_n be_v minister_v by_o several_a person_n and_o then_o meet_v &_o be_v mingle_v when_o the_o estate_n be_v very_o ruinous_a and_o miserable_a and_o if_o this_o be_v a_o good_a reason_n to_o prove_v that_o minister_n may_v exercise_v civil_a office_n it_o be_v as_o good_a a_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o prince_n may_v preach_v and_o minister_v the_o sacrament_n for_o if_o the_o minister_n may_v exercise_v civil_a office_n because_o elie_n and_o samuel_n be_v minister_n do_v so_o the_o prince_n and_o judge_n may_v preach_v the_o word_n and_o minister_v the_o sacrament_n because_o elie_n and_o samuel_n be_v prince_n and_o judge_n do_v so_o and_o so_o we_o see_v how_o m._n doctor_n go_v about_o to_o defend_v one_o confusion_n bring_v in_o a_o other_o as_o for_o elias_n kill_v the_o false_a prophet_n and_o our_o saviour_n christ_n whip_n out_o of_o the_o temple_n it_o be_v strange_a that_o master_n doctor_n will_v allege_v they_o as_z thing_n to_o be_v follow_v when_o he_o may_v as_o well_o teach_v that_o we_o may_v call_v for_o fire_n from_o heaven_n as_o elias_n do_v and_o be_v demand_v answer_v nothing_o as_z our_o saviour_n do_v as_o to_o follow_v these_o action_n which_o be_v most_o singular_a and_o extraordinary_a and_o if_o these_o one_o or_o two_o example_n be_v enough_o to_o break_v the_o order_n that_o god_n have_v set_v by_o this_o a_o man_n may_v prove_v that_o the_o minister_n may_v be_v fisher_n and_o terrible_n maker_n because_o 3._o peter_n and_o paul_n be_v minister_n do_v fish_n and_o make_v tent_n and_o true_o these_o be_v not_o so_o extraordinary_a and_o from_o the_o general_a rule_n as_o the_o other_o be_v and_o it_o be_v permit_v in_o a_o council_n that_o rather_o than_o a_o minister_n shall_v have_v two_o benefice_n 15._o he_o may_v labour_v with_o his_o hand_n to_o supply_v his_o want_n withal_o when_o s._n paul_n will_v tim._n that_o he_o shall_v not_o receive_v a_o accusation_n against_o a_o elder_a under_o two_o or_o three_o witness_n he_o do_v commit_v nothing_o less_o then_o any_o civil_a office_n unto_o he_o and_o m._n doctor_n himself_o have_v allege_v it_o before_o as_o a_o thing_n incident_a to_o the_o office_n of_o a_o bishop_n and_o therefore_o he_o do_v forget_v himself_o marvellous_o now_o that_o make_v this_o a_o civil_a office_n and_o do_v m._n doctor_n think_v that_o s._n paul_n make_v magistrate_n or_o be_v he_o of_o that_o judgement_n that_o the_o church_n in_o the_o time_n of_o persecution_n may_v make_v civil_a officer_n
