A36143	A Disputation proving that it is not convenient to grant unto ministers secular jurisdiction, and to make them lords & statesmen in Parliament		1679 (1679)	Wing D1677; ESTC R15032	30,674	38

to_o be_v supreme_a magistrate_n and_o judge_n under_z and_o with_o the_o king_n in_o the_o house_n of_o lord_n and_o to_o have_v jurisdiction_n and_o lordship_n proper_a to_o magistrate_n and_o supreme_a coercive_a judge_n and_o to_o the_o nobility_n peer_n and_o prince_n in_o parliament_n this_o i_o hold_v to_o be_v extra_fw-la episcopal_a to_o be_v a_o swerve_v from_o the_o simplicity_n that_o be_v in_o christ_n and_o a_o undue_a prelation_n of_o pastor_n above_o pastor_n and_o a_o deformity_n add_v to_o the_o beauty_n and_o lustre_n of_o simple_a episcopacy_n and_o it_o be_v a_o cause_n of_o more_o evil_a than_o good_a and_o upon_o a_o just_a computation_n of_o all_o both_o convenience_n and_o inconvenience_n it_o will_v be_v find_v a_o truth_n that_o church_n and_o state_n have_v be_v both_o loser_n that_o bishop_n and_o archbishop_n themselves_o who_o have_v have_v such_o external_a honour_n preeminence_n and_o authority_n have_v be_v loser_n in_o their_o soul_n by_o they_o and_o that_o it_o have_v be_v better_a for_o all_o side_n that_o they_o have_v keep_v in_o the_o station_n and_o quality_n of_o simple_a bishop_n and_o divine_n 36._o the_o archbishop_n and_o bishop_n with_o we_o have_v three_o ordination_n first_o they_o be_v ordain_v presbyter_n than_o they_o be_v ordain_v bishop_n than_o they_o be_v ordain_v archbishop_n now_o these_o two_o last_o ordination_n be_v rather_o nullity_n and_o corruption_n and_o do_v suppose_v that_o there_o be_v a_o majority_n and_o superiority_n of_o power_n in_o bishop_n over_o presbyter_n and_o in_o archbishop_n over_o bishop_n and_o the_o next_o step_n must_v be_v in_o the_o pope_n over_o all_o for_o to_o be_v a_o bishop_n and_o shepherd_n over_o all_o the_o soul_n and_o shepherd_n which_o be_v in_o england_n be_v a_o vice_n of_o the_o very_a same_o kind_n with_o that_o of_o the_o pope_n who_o say_v he_o be_v christ_n vicar_n upon_o earth_n and_o bishop_n over_o all_o the_o bishop_n and_o soul_n which_o be_v in_o the_o world_n which_o be_v to_o claim_v and_o usurp_v the_o office_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o to_o attempt_v the_o do_v of_o that_o which_o be_v absolute_o impossible_a it_o be_v indeed_o more_o impossible_a for_o one_o man_n to_o be_v bishop_n and_o pastor_n over_o all_o the_o soul_n and_o bishop_n which_o be_v in_o the_o world_n than_o it_o be_v for_o one_o man_n to_o be_v bishop_n and_o pastor_n over_o all_o the_o soul_n and_o pastor_n which_o be_v in_o england_n both_o be_v alike_o simple_o impossible_a though_o the_o one_o be_v more_o impossible_a than_o the_o other_o and_o they_o do_v both_o savour_n of_o proud_a self_n ignorance_n and_o gross_a affectation_n and_o self-seeking_a as_o though_o one_o man_n can_v be_v in_o a_o thousand_o place_n at_o once_o baptise_v preach_a give_v the_o lords-supper_n visit_v the_o sick_a instruct_v soul_n and_o do_v all_o other_o the_o act_n and_o office_n of_o a_o scripture-bishop_n and_o spiritual_a overseer_n of_o soul_n act._n 20.28_o to_o the_o create_v of_o a_o bishop_n or_o arch_a bishop_n there_o need_v no_o more_o but_o a_o election_n and_o nomination_n of_o he_o to_o the_o place_n as_o be_v do_v by_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o when_o they_o choose_v a_o speaker_n his_o office_n be_v no_o more_o but_o to_o be_v as_o the_o foreman_n of_o the_o quest_n if_o he_o have_v not_o wisdom_n holiness_n and_o ministerial_a worth_n and_o usefulness_n answerable_a to_o his_o name_n he_o be_v but_o a_o archbishop_n in_o name_n he_o be_v rather_o a_o post_n or_o cypher_n than_o a_o man_n 37._o also_o our_o prelate_n do_v take_v upon_o they_o to_o be_v ecclesiastical_a legislator_n and_o canon-maker_n to_o all_o the_o church_n and_o to_o all_o other_o pastor_n and_o they_o constitute_v they_o a_o lay-chancellour_n and_o require_v of_o all_o the_o clergy_n a_o oath_n or_o solemn_a promise_n of_o canonical_a obedience_n to_o they_o and_o their_o chancellor_n they_o call_v their_o chancellor_n their_o vicar_n in_o spiritual_n and_o unto_o he_o be_v commit_v the_o power_n of_o discipline_n and_o jurisdiction_n ecclesiastical_a over_o all_o both_o clergy_n and_o laity_n and_o the_o church-canon_n be_v his_o law_n and_o rule_n which_o be_v too_o crooked_a for_o honest_a man_n to_o conform_v to_o he_o spare_v not_o to_o excommunicate_v they_o and_o upon_o a_o

and_o the_o worst_a man_n be_v spare_v and_o countenance_v while_o the_o best_a man_n be_v harass_v and_o anathematise_v and_o accurse_a from_o christ_n and_o his_o kingdom_n 38._o now_o the_o bishop_n be_v conscious_a to_o themselves_o that_o this_o kind_n of_o prelacy_n and_o domination_n and_o jurisdiction_n be_v not_o good_a and_o equal_a but_o rather_o like_o the_o pope_n supremacy_n over_o all_o and_o those_o who_o the_o holy_a ghost_n brand_n nehem._n 5.15_o who_o rule_v over_o god_n people_n by_o their_o servant_n as_o now_o the_o bishop_n do_v by_o their_o vicar_n substitute_n
