A29084	A defence of the Kings authority and supremacy in the church & church-discipline and that he is supream head and governour over all persons, in all causes ecclesiastical : against these disciplinarians, the Pope and his clergy, the bishops and episcoparians, the Scottish and English Presbyterians, with the independents ... / by Theophilus Brabourne.

of_o any_o man_n noble_a or_o ignoble_a the_o scottish_a discipline_n be_v odious_a to_o episcoparian_o for_o excommunicate_v their_o king_n but_o in_o my_o opinion_n the_o scot_n be_v the_o more_o honest_a man_n for_o they_o act_v according_a to_o their_o principle_n but_o bishop_n halt_v of_o one_o leg_n and_o be_v blind_a of_o one_o eye_n when_o they_o look_v upon_o a_o king_n and_o yet_o the_o scot_n and_o our_o bishop_n do_v fetch_v their_o authority_n both_o from_o the_o same_o scripture_n if_o therefore_o they_o may_v excommunicate_v the_o king_n by_o their_o principle_n where_o be_v the_o king_n supremacy_n 4._o there_o be_v a_o secret_a design_n of_o bishop_n for_o supremacy_n for_o they_o write_v and_o say_v church_n and_o state_n now_o though_o common_a people_n regard_v not_o which_o end_n go_v forward_o yet_o bishop_n do_v for_o they_o do_v not_o only_o write_v so_o and_o speak_v so_o but_o will_v have_v other_o to_o speak_v so_o too_o myself_o be_v with_o a_o bishop_n long_o since_o i_o say_v state_n and_o church_n but_o the_o bishop_n correct_v i_o say_v you_o must_v say_v church_n and_o state_n so_o bishop_n will_v have_v priority_n and_o superiority_n over_o the_o state_n and_o if_o so_o than_o they_o aim_n at_o the_o king_n supremacy_n for_o he_o be_v a_o statesman_n and_o the_o chief_a of_o the_o state_n there_o can_v be_v no_o supremacy_n where_o there_o be_v not_o priority_n &_o superiority_n however_o the_o bishop_n do_v act_v open_o for_o the_o king_n supremacy_n yet_o underhand_o they_o aim_v at_o the_o old_a popish_a supremacy_n why_o else_o do_v they_o keep_v on_o foot_n that_o popish_a language_n of_o church_n and_o state_n the_o bishop_n also_o use_v to_o name_v the_o clergy_n and_o laiety_n give_v the_o priority_n and_o superiority_n to_o the_o clergy_n and_o bishop_n but_o where_o then_o be_v the_o king_n priority_n superiority_n and_o supremacy_n also_o they_o use_v to_o say_v lord_n spiritual_a and_o lord_n temporal_a quest_n 11._o be_v minister_n capable_a of_o a_o bishopric_n or_o the_o office_n of_o a_o bishop_n i_o answer_v negative_o and_o my_o reason_n be_v these_o 1._o as_o be_v before_o prove_v christ_n have_v forbid_a minister_n to_o use_v lordly_a authority_n in_o the_o church_n mat._n 20.25_o &_o 1_o pet._n 5.3_o and_o therefore_o minister_n be_v not_o capable_a of_o a_o bishopric_n 2._o if_o a_o minister_n take_v upon_o he_o the_o office_n of_o a_o bishop_n he_o make_v himself_o a_o pope_n or_o a_o antichrist_n who_o exalt_v himself_o above_o all_o that_o be_v call_v god_n 2_o thes_n 2.4_o who_o be_v the_o magistrate_n psal_n 82.6_o for_o in_o his_o consistory_n he_o sit_v as_o judge_v over_o both_o magistrate_n and_o people_n 3._o the_o office_n of_o a_o bishop_n by_o rule_v be_v contrary_a to_o the_o office_n of_o a_o preach_a minister_n as_o i_o thus_o prove_v christ_n send_v his_o apostle_n to_o preach_v mat._n 20.1_o 2_o 7._o but_o not_o to_o rule_v st._n paul_n charge_v timothy_n not_o to_o rule_v but_o to_o preach_v and_o be_v instant_a in_o season_n and_o out_o of_o season_n 2_o tim._n 4.2_o and_o st._n paul_n say_v woe_n unto_o i_o if_o i_o preach_v not_o the_o gospel_n 1_o cor._n 9.16_o and_o minister_n have_v their_o ordination_n not_o to_o rule_v but_o to_o preach_v but_o lordly_a bishop_n be_v no_o preacher_n no_o soon_o bishop_n but_o their_o head_n be_v so_o full_a of_o proclamation_n with_o rule_v as_o they_o lie_v aside_o preach_v queen_n eliz._n when_o she_o go_v to_o make_v a_o bishop_n say_v i_o be_o now_o go_v to_o stop_v a_o preacher_n mouth_n i_o can_v speak_v my_o knowledge_n of_o they_o for_o sixty_o year_n that_o they_o preach_v not_o above_o once_o a_o year_n sometime_o twice_o sometime_o not_o once_o bishop_n have_v ever_o

and_o bishop_n or_o rather_o the_o pope_n invention_n until_o ceremony_n have_v well_o nigh_o eat_v up_o substance_n all_o be_v for_o a_o outward_a form_n and_o fashion_n as_o to_o bow_v towards_o

now_o i_o shall_v prove_v it_o by_o show_v their_o affinity_n to_o the_o pope_n 1._o the_o pope_n of_o rome_n be_v a_o clergyman_n a_o bishop_n and_o a_o lord-bishop_n and_o so_o be_v our_o english_a

of_o a_o large_a circuit_n be_v yet_o near_o the_o pope_n 4._o the_o pope_n challenge_v the_o lordly_a power_n of_o excommunication_n and_o so_o do_v our_o bishop_n 5._o the_o pope_n exalt_v himself_o above_o all_o that_o be_v call_v god_n that_o be_v the_o magistrate_n and_o so_o do_v our_o bishop_n in_o their_o consistory_n 6._o pope_n be_v a_o minister_n but_o no_o preacher_n so_o be_v our_o
