A55393	Quo warranto, or, A moderate enquiry into the warrantablenesse of the preaching of gifted and unordained persons where also some other questions are discussed : viz. concerning [brace] ministerial relation, election, ordination : being a vindication of the late Jus divinum ministerii evangeliei ... from the exceptions of Mr. John Martin, Mr. Sam. Pette, Mr. Frederick Woodal ... in their late book, intituled The preacher sent / by Matthew Poole ...	Poole, Matthew, 1624-1679.	1659 (1659)	Wing P2850; ESTC R33938	110,108	175

because_o there_o be_v some_o other_o passage_n which_o seem_v to_o be_v argumentative_a though_o scatter_v elsewhere_o i_o think_v fit_a to_o do_v they_o that_o right_n as_o to_o bring_v they_o in_o here_o that_o so_o the_o reader_n may_v see_v all_o their_o strength_n together_o their_o second_o argument_n be_v this_o this_o make_v the_o power_n of_o ordinary_a minister_n as_o extensive_a and_o large_a as_o that_o of_o the_o apostle_n ans._n i_o answer_v plain_o and_o clear_o that_o the_o difference_n between_o apostolical_a and_o pastoral_a power_n lie_v not_o in_o the_o extent_n of_o their_o relation_n if_o any_o assert_v it_o let_v they_o prove_v it_o but_o in_o the_o independency_n superiority_n and_o singularity_n of_o jurisdiction_n which_o if_o it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o distinguish_v between_o apostle_n and_o ordinary_a minister_n beside_o their_o excellent_a and_o infallible_a gift_n i_o dare_v make_v our_o brethren_n judge_n their_o three_o argument_n be_v this_o minister_n be_v only_a pastor_n to_o they_o who_o they_o can_v govern_v as_o well_o as_o teach_v but_o minister_n can_v exercise_v church-government_n towards_o heathen_n for_o they_o be_v not_o their_o flock_n and_o therefore_o in_o preach_v to_o heathen_n they_o act_v not_o as_o officer_n but_o as_o gift_a brethren_n p._n 18._o the_o answer_n to_o this_o be_v not_o difficult_a if_o the_o not_o exercise_v of_o government_n be_v a_o sufficient_a foundation_n for_o this_o assertion_n that_o a_o minister_n preach_v not_o to_o such_o as_o a_o pastor_n than_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o preach_v as_o officer_n to_o heathen_n for_o towards_o such_o they_o can_v not_o exercise_v church-government_n what_o have_v i_o to_o do_v to_o judge_v they_o that_o be_v without_o 1_o cor._n 5._o 12._o but_o the_o apostle_n do_v preach_v as_o officer_n to_o heathen_n which_o have_v be_v already_o full_o prove_v their_o four_o argument_n be_v that_o this_o bring_v in_o episcopacy_n to_o make_v one_o man_n a_o officer_n over_o many_o church_n and_o this_o argument_n i_o have_v often_o wonder_v to_o meet_v in_o all_o sort_n of_o anti-presbyterians_a greek_n and_o barbarian_n wise_a and_o unwise_a learned_a and_o unlearned_a all_o agree_v in_o this_o charge_n and_o they_o prosecute_v it_o with_o so_o much_o confidence_n and_o eagerness_n that_o if_o a_o man_n have_v so_o much_o charity_n or_o so_o little_a judgement_n as_o to_o believe_v they_o he_o will_v think_v there_o be_v no_o difference_n between_o geneva_n and_o canterbury_n for_o answer_v to_o omit_v other_o difference_n which_o may_v be_v insist_v on_o as_o 1._o that_o the_o episcopal_a way_n leave_v to_o inferior_a minister_n nothing_o but_o the_o name_n and_o title_n of_o officer_n all_o power_n of_o jurisdiction_n be_v ingross_v into_o the_o bishop_n hand_n whereby_o all_o other_o minister_n be_v make_v a_o strange_a kind_n of_o man_n be_v officer_n without_o office_n ruler_n without_o rule_n etc._n etc._n whereas_o in_o the_o presbyterian_a way_n every_o particular_a officer_n be_v confess_o invest_v with_o and_o have_v liberty_n for_o the_o exercise_n of_o his_o office_n and_o power_n as_o need_n require_v 2._o that_o government_n by_o bishop_n be_v a_o government_n by_o foreigner_n as_o it_o be_v the_o power_n of_o ruling_n be_v neither_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o people_n nor_o of_o any_o choose_v by_o they_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o presbyterian_a way_n but_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o person_n whole_o extraneous_a to_o most_o of_o the_o church_n they_o rule_v and_o general_o neither_o know_v of_o nor_o know_v to_o those_o who_o they_o undertake_v to_o govern_v but_o i_o wave_v these_o thing_n and_o many_o other_o as_o be_v extravagant_a in_o this_o place_n this_o only_a i_o observe_v for_o the_o present_a purpose_n the_o formality_n of_o episcopacy_n lie_v in_o this_o in_o the_o superiority_n of_o one_o pastor_n to_o another_o and_o to_o many_o other_o and_o of_o one_o church_n to_o all_o the_o rest_n in_o a_o diocese_n not_o in_o the_o superiority_n of_o a_o college_n of_o pastor_n or_o convention_n of_o church_n over_o one_o pastor_n or_o church_n will_v any_o indite_v the_o apostle_n for_o introduce_v episcopacy_n because_o all_o the_o apostle_n meet_v together_o act_v 15._o do_v assume_v a_o superiority_n over_o paul_n who_o be_v there_o meet_v as_o the_o rest_n in_o the_o capacity_n of_o a_o elder_a and_o examine_v and_o judge_v of_o his_o doctrine_n shall_v any_o man_n say_v the_o unite_a province_n in_o the_o low-countries_n be_v under_o a_o monarchy_n because_o every_o particular_a governor_n etc._n etc._n be_v subject_a and_o accountable_a to_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o governor_n the_o state_n general_n this_o no_o man_n will_v say_v but_o he_o that_o understand_v not_o the_o difference_n between_o government_n by_o one_o and_o by_o many_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v equal_o absurd_a to_o charge_v we_o with_o episcopacy_n because_o we_o will_v have_v every_o particular_a officer_n and_o church_n subject_n not_o to_o any_o one_o man_n that_o and_o that_o alone_o be_v episcopacy_n but_o to_o a_o convetion_n of_o officer_n etc._n etc._n and_o therefore_o for_o the_o future_a i_o shall_v desire_v our_o brethren_n to_o forbear_v such_o frivolous_a and_o intemperate_a accusation_n and_o this_o be_v all_o that_o i_o shall_v say_v to_o this_o present_a question_n close_v only_o with_o this_o intimation_n that_o i_o principal_o recommend_v the_o serious_a and_o impartial_a consideration_n of_o what_o be_v here_o say_v unto_o such_o who_o though_o they_o profess_v they_o will_v be_v ordain_v and_o we_o be_v oblige_v to_o believe_v their_o profession_n yet_o for_o the_o present_n refuse_v it_o because_o they_o be_v not_o call_v to_o any_o particular_a charge_n i_o hope_v what_o have_v be_v say_v will_v satisfy_v some_o at_o least_o that_o although_o it_o be_v convenient_a that_o every_o minister_n shall_v have_v relation_n to_o some_o one_o church_n yet_o he_o have_v also_o a_o relation_n to_o the_o whole_a and_o his_o relation_n to_o a_o particular_a church_n as_o a_o lecturer_n be_v foundation_n full_o sufficient_a for_o his_o ordination_n chap._n iu._n the_o principal_a question_n be_v this_o whether_o gift_a person_n may_v preach_v ordinary_o without_o ordination_n state_n of_o the_o question_n i_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o take_v much_o pain_n about_o the_o state_v of_o the_o question_n that_o be_v full_o do_v in_o the_o assembly_n book_n these_o thing_n only_o i_o

such_o our_o brethren_n say_v they_o do_v not_o plead_v and_o yet_o i_o can_v tell_v what_o to_o make_v of_o this_o if_o it_o look_v not_o that_o way_n when_o they_o say_v though_o one_o that_o be_v

to_o every_o man_n as_o to_o the_o lawfulness_n of_o it_o to_o judge_v of_o his_o gift_n and_o to_o preach_v if_o he_o think_v himself_o fit_a this_o also_o must_v be_v say_v that_o the_o assertion_n of_o this_o doctrine_n be_v that_o which_o open_v the_o gap_n unto_o all_o that_o crew_n and_o which_o have_v be_v the_o unhappy_a occasion_n of_o involve_v this_o poor_a church_n and_o nation_n in_o

may_v i_o say_v the_o less_o be_v call_v of_o the_o great_a and_o as_o it_o be_v in_o civil_a respect_n in_o some_o parish_n where_o the_o people_n be_v patron_n of_o the_o place_n and_o give_v the_o essence_n of_o the_o civil_a call_n to_o a_o minister_n to_o be_v the_o minister_n of_o the_o place_n as_o to_o all_o legal_a right_n etc._n etc._n there_o i_o say_v the_o people_n be_v eo_fw-la

act_n be_v a_o act_n of_o authority_n and_o this_o be_v the_o first_o branch_n authority_n be_v necessary_a etc._n etc._n the_o use_n of_o this_o we_o shall_v see_v when_o we_o come_v to_o the_o minor_a in_o the_o mean_a time_n we_o must_v prove_v the_o other_o branch_n of_o the_o major_n or_o rather_o that_o be_v prove_v already_o that_o ability_n to_o judge_n of_o a_o minister_n fitness_n be_v necessary_a to_o put_v a_o man_n into_o a_o regular_a capacity_n to_o give_v the_o essence_n of_o the_o call_v to_o the_o ministry_n and_o therefore_o i_o now_o come_v to_o the_o proof_n of_o the_o minor_a where_o i_o must_v show_v 1._o that_o people_n have_v no_o authority_n etc._n etc._n 2._o that_o they_o neither_o have_v nor_o by_o divine_a appointment_n be_v require_v to_o have_v ability_n to_o judge_v of_o a_o man_n fitness_n for_o the_o ministry_n 1._o that_o people_n have_v no_o authority_n nor_o can_v do_v any_o act_n of_o authority_n in_o the_o church_n be_v plain_a from_o hence_o because_o they_o be_v by_o god_n appointment_n place_v in_o a_o state_n of_o subjection_n at_o lest_o it_o be_v a_o clear_a case_n concern_v woman_n who_o be_v forbid_v to_o do_v a_o act_n of_o authority_n i._n e._n to_o preach_v public_o because_o they_o be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o subjection_n and_o this_o be_v the_o more_o considerable_a because_o in_o that_o instance_n which_o our_o brethren_n so_o much_o insist_v upon_o act_v 1._o in_o that_o election_n of_o a_o apostle_n not_o only_o the_o man_n but_o woman_n also_o do_v concur_v which_o they_o can_v not_o have_v do_v if_o election_n be_v a_o act_n of_o authority_n or_o if_o it_o be_v that_o act_n which_o give_v the_o essence_n to_o a_o officer_n 2._o as_o they_o want_v authority_n so_o they_o want_v ability_n and_o here_o there_o be_v two_o branch_n 1._o they_o have_v not_o 2._o they_o be_v not_o require_v to_o have_v ability_n to_o judge_v etc._n etc._n 1._o the_o people_n have_v not_o ability_n to_o judge_v of_o a_o man_n fitness_n for_o the_o ministry_n this_o we_o have_v prove_v before_o and_o thither_o i_o refer_v the_o reader_n and_o indeed_o if_o our_o brethren_n principle_n do_v not_o oblige_v they_o to_o the_o contrary_a it_o will_v be_v out_o of_o doubt_n that_o for_o the_o body_n of_o almost_o all_o the_o congregation_n in_o the_o world_n they_o be_v exceed_o unable_a to_o judge_v of_o divers_a of_o those_o ability_n which_o be_v require_v to_o the_o ministry_n it_o be_v little_o less_o than_o a_o contradiction_n to_o say_v that_o unlearned_a man_n shall_v be_v fit_a judge_n of_o another_o man_n learning_n and_o that_o learning_n be_v of_o necessary_a use_n to_o a_o minister_n neither_o will_v our_o brethren_n deny_v nor_o can_v any_o one_o doubt_n but_o he_o that_o be_v whole_o a_o stranger_n to_o it_o and_o it_o be_v no_o less_o absurd_a to_o think_v that_o those_o person_n who_o be_v unacquainted_a with_o the_o stratagem_n and_o subtlety_n of_o gainsayer_n and_o heretic_n shall_v be_v competent_a judge_n of_o a_o man_n ability_n to_o convince_v gainsayer_n if_o it_o be_v say_v it_o be_v true_a the_o people_n be_v not_o able_a to_o judge_v of_o these_o thing_n themselves_o but_o they_o shall_v and_o may_v call_v in_o the_o help_n of_o neighbour_a pastor_n i_o answer_v they_o may_v do_v it_o and_o they_o may_v forbear_v it_o according_a to_o our_o brethren_n mind_n this_o be_v not_o necessary_a to_o the_o be_v but_o to_o the_o well_o be_v of_o it_o it_o be_v the_o people_n that_o have_v the_o whole_a and_o sole_a power_n of_o give_v
