A85313	Presbyterial ordination vindicated. In a brief and sober discourse concerning episcopacy, as claiming greater power, and more eminent offices by divine right, then presbyterie. The arguments of the Reverend Bishop Dr Davenant in his determination for such episcopacy are modestly examined. And arguments for the validity of presbyterial ordination added. With a brief discourse concerning imposed forms of prayer, and ceremonies. Written by G.F. minister of the gospel in defence of his own ordination, being questioned, because it was performed by Presbyters.	Firmin, Giles, 1614-1697.	1660 (1660)	Wing F961; Thomason E1045_17; ESTC R208016	42,577	55

their_o impure_a manner_n heresy_n and_o schism_n they_o shall_v destroy_v the_o church_n and_o be_v not_o bishop_n equal_o liable_a to_o these_o answ_n how_o shall_v the_o church_n now_o be_v save_v may_v we_o not_o read_v with_o our_o eye_n in_o history_n and_o hear_v with_o our_o ear_n what_o bishop_n have_v be_v have_v we_o not_o see_v the_o excellency_n of_o this_o government_n in_o england_n as_o to_o the_o impure_a manner_n of_o minister_n be_v correct_v be_v it_o not_o a_o cordolium_fw-la to_o the_o godly_a in_o england_n to_o have_v so_o many_o who_o be_v just_o cast_v out_o for_o

2._o for_o heresy_n and_o schism_n 1._o we_o know_v what_o bellarmine_n say_v certain_o heresiarchae_n ferè_fw-la omnes_fw-la aut_fw-la episcopi_fw-la aut_fw-la presbyteri_fw-la fuerunt_fw-la and_o from_o these_o heresy_n rise_v faction_n among_o the_o people_n say_v he_o so_o that_o bishop_n be_v as_o deep_a in_o the_o mire_n for_o heresy_n and_o cause_v schism_n as_o the_o presbyter_n hence_o he_o will_v have_v a_o pope_n but_o that_o monarchical_a government_n have_v not_o cure_v schism_n we_o know_v much_o less_o heresy_n 2._o as_o for_o heresy_n and_o schism_n both_o name_v any_o national_a church_n under_o heaven_n more_o free_a from_o they_o than_o the_o church_n of_o scotland_n before_o these_o trouble_n begin_v and_o yet_o there_o bishop_n be_v not_o approve_v of_o 3._o for_o schism_n read_v but_o the_o life_n of_o constantine_n and_o there_o see_v whether_o bishop_n be_v not_o guilty_a of_o schism_n and_o the_o council_n tolata_n 1_o be_v call_v upon_o some_o schism_n among_o the_o bishop_n 4._o we_o say_v that_o rome_n be_v guilty_a of_o the_o schism_n between_o we_o and_o they_o because_o rome_n give_v the_o cause_n i_o leave_v the_o reader_n to_o inquire_v who_o give_v the_o first_o cause_n of_o the_o schism_n now_o in_o england_n 5._o why_o then_o do_v not_o paul_n appoint_v a_o bishop_n in_o corinth_n when_o schism_n be_v there_o both_o in_o his_o time_n and_o clemens_n his_o time_n but_o clemens_n mention_n none_n jerom_n say_v indeed_o that_o upon_o these_o schism_n bishop_n be_v set_v up_o afterward_o i_o write_v not_o his_o know_a

he_o shall_v not_o be_v foresee_v by_o christ_n at_o first_o and_o so_o this_o bishop_n at_o first_o appoint_v but_o the_o ordinary_a main_a stud_n of_o christ_n house_n shall_v be_v forget_v to_o be_v set_v up_o till_o many_o year_n after_o the_o house_n be_v up_o sure_o this_o mean_n be_v none_o of_o he_o and_o so_o it_o prove_v 6._o how_o can_v the_o bishop_n be_v a_o fit_a mean_n to_o cure_v schism_n or_o prevent_v it_o i_o know_v no_o way_n but_o this_o that_o presbyter_n must_v resign_v all_o their_o judgement_n up_o to_o his_o chair_n and_o he_o infallible_o determine_v which_o be_v right_a or_o wrong_n and_o so_o all_o must_v yield_v to_o his_o sentence_n this_o be_v brave_a indeed_o 7._o let_v our_o king_n withdraw_v his_o tender_a and_o heal_a hand_n and_o his_o power_n from_o assist_v bishop_n &_o let_v we_o now_o see_v how_o the_o bishop_n will_v show_v forth_o that_o wonderful_a virtue_n of_o episcopacy_n in_o heal_v our_o schism_n i_o doubt_v our_o king_n who_o
