A75462	An Anti-Brekekekex-Coax-Coax, or, A throat-hapse for the frogges and toades that lately crept abroad, croaking against the Common-prayer book and Episcopacy and the copie of a letter from a very reverend church-man, in answer to a young man, who desired his judgement upon this case, viz. whether every minister of the Church of England be bound in conscience to reade the Common-prayer : with another letter from a convinced associatour, that a while boggled at the Common-prayer, to a brother of the same association, not yet convinced, together with the above-said reverend person's brief and candid censure thereupon, with some uses of application by the publisher.		1660 (1660)	Wing A3483A; ESTC R43600	20,576	45

etc._n for_o the_o better_a understanding_n of_o the_o truth_n in_o this_o case_n we_o must_v distinguish_v what_o we_o mean_v by_o minister_n for_o though_o the_o word_n be_v plain_a of_o itself_o yet_o these_o time_n have_v make_v it_o equivocal_a 1_o some_o be_v so_o only_o in_o title_n among_o the_o people_n where_o they_o live_v but_o be_v never_o ordain_v these_o be_v thief_n that_o come_v

who_o confirm_v their_o order_n 2_o some_o be_v ordain_v by_o presbytery_n these_o also_o be_v no_o minister_n by_o the_o account_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o must_v take_v their_o ordination_n again_o from_o the_o bishop_n if_o they_o mean_v to_o be_v accept_v minister_n in_o this_o church_n not_o that_o we_o deny_v ordination_n in_o foreign_a part_n especial_o in_o france_n where_o no_o bishop_n be_v nor_o can_v be_v with_o the_o allowance_n of_o the_o supreme_a magistrate_n but_o because_o our_o law_n require_v and_o have_v establish_v that_o ordination_n only_o therefore_o neither_o of_o these_o two_o sort_n of_o minister_n be_v concern_v in_o the_o case_n but_o it_o be_v only_o of_o minister_n legal_o ordain_v 2_o we_o must_v remember_v how_o the_o conscience_n be_v bind_v and_o what_o be_v here_o mean_v thereby_o the_o conscience_n be_v bind_v two_o manner_n of_o way_n 1_o primary_o immediate_o direct_o from_o god_n himself_o and_o that_o either_o by_o some_o natural_a law_n write_v in_o the_o heart_n or_o some_o positive_a law_n write_v in_o the_o scripture_n we_o understand_v it_o not_o in_o this_o sense_n the_o minister_n be_v not_o so_o bind_v 2._o the_o conscience_n be_v bind_v but_o mediate_o and_o indirect_o when_o the_o magistrate_n command_v any_o thing_n which_o be_v lawful_a for_o the_o subject_n conscience_n be_v bind_v to_o the_o law_n though_o that_o law_n do_v not_o bind_v it_o be_v mere_o humane_a it_o will_v not_o be_v amiss_o to_o add_v a_o three_o obligation_n which_o may_v lie_v upon_o the_o conscience_n by_o way_n of_o consequence_n as_o when_o great_a benefit_n have_v be_v receive_v we_o be_v by_o they_o bind_v in_o conscience_n i.e._n equity_n and_o reason_n to_o return_v thanks_o obedience_n requitall_n and_o so_o some_o expound_v rom._n 13._o not_o only_o for_o fear_n but_o conscience_n sake_n it_o be_v take_v in_o these_o two_o last_o sense_n in_o the_o present_a case_n the_o three_o thing_n to_o be_v observe_v be_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o read_v the_o common-prayer_n whether_o it_o be_v mean_v in_o whole_a or_o in_o part_n always_o never_o miss_v or_o sometime_o according_a to_o discretion_n and_o occur_v circumstance_n and_o it_o be_v in_o this_o last_o construction_n that_o here_o we_o take_v it_o for_o it_o be_v in_o my_o memory_n once_o move_v in_o convocation_n and_o answer_n be_v give_v that_o the_o church_n intend_v not_o to_o make_v it_o a_o drudgery_n if_o he_o that_o have_v no_o assistant_n shall_v first_o read_v the_o first_o service_n whole_o and_o afterward_o preach_v and_o then_o again_o read_v the_o second_o service_n it_o be_v a_o heavy_a burden_n for_o the_o strong_a lung_n the_o conclusion_n therefore_o be_v that_o every_o minister_n legal_o ordain_v be_v bind_v in_o conscience_n both_o mediate_o and_o by_o way_n also_o of_o consequence_n to_o read_v the_o common-prayer_n at_o discretion_n if_o there_o be_v a_o sermon_n at_o other_o time_n whole_o as_o it_o be_v prescribe_v and_o the_o argument_n to_o the_o contrary_n do_v not_o conclude_v to_o the_o first_o neither_o proposition_n be_v true_a not_o the_o first_o for_o the_o minister_n and_o every_o good_a man_n be_v bind_v to_o do_v what_o be_v his_o duty_n whatsoever_o the_o event_n may_v be_v to_o other_o i_o must_v preach_v the_o word_n though_o it_o prove_v to_o some_o the_o savour_n of_o death_n i_o must_v administer_v the_o sacrament_n though_o some_o receiver_n may_v eat_v his_o own_o damnation_n i_o must_v worship_v god_n in_o public_a as_o the_o magistrate_n command_v i_o
