of_o the_o apostle_n shall_v exercise_v a_o authority_n which_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o let_v we_o observe_v the_o difference_n of_o time_n and_o thence_o gather_v that_o this_o civil_a jurisdiction_n be_v as_o expedient_a and_o necessary_a to_o the_o divine_n of_o our_o time_n as_o it_o be_v altogether_o unnecessary_a and_o unprofitable_a to_o the_o apostle_n civil_a jurisdiction_n be_v by_o the_o chief_a magistrate_n to_o be_v confer_v on_o those_o that_o be_v subordinate_a and_o according_a to_o his_o law_n to_o be_v administer_v as_o long_o therefore_o as_o the_o ruler_n of_o the_o earth_n wage_v war_n against_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n neither_o can_v they_o assign_v nor_o the_o apostle_n without_o scandal_n to_o christ_n and_o the_o downfall_n of_o religion_n have_v receive_v any_o temporal_a power_n from_o their_o hand_n but_o since_o king_n and_o their_o law_n begin_v to_o subject_v themselves_o to_o christ_n civil_a authority_n by_o they_o give_v to_o the_o minister_n of_o christ_n mighthave_v be_v a_o great_a furtherance_n to_o the_o advancement_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o more_o happy_a government_n of_o the_o church_n furthermore_o the_o apostle_n and_o father_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n be_v from_o heaven_n endow_v with_o a_o extraordinary_a and_o miraculous_a power_n which_o do_v more_o avail_n to_o the_o confirmation_n of_o christian_n in_o faith_n and_o obedience_n than_o any_o civil_a authority_n but_o now_o the_o government_n of_o the_o church_n be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o ordinary_a minister_n who_o be_v disarm_v of_o that_o divine_a and_o miraculous_a power_n be_v convenient_o guard_v with_o this_o temporal_a and_o ordinary_a jurisdiction_n last_o when_o the_o christian_a church_n be_v in_o her_o infancy_n piety_n be_v more_o deep_o root_v in_o the_o breast_n of_o the_o disciple_n and_o if_o they_o will_v have_v resist_v the_o discipline_n of_o the_o church_n their_o rebellious_a mind_n be_v soon_o quell_v by_o the_o cruelty_n of_o persecution_n and_o hourly_o imminent_a danger_n of_o violent_a death_n but_o now_o the_o christian_a world_n whole_o possess_v and_o carry_v away_o with_o pride_n and_o luxury_n have_v so_o clean_o lay_v aside_o all_o respect_n of_o piety_n and_o modesty_n that_o all_o the_o spiritual_a power_n of_o the_o clergy_n and_o church-discipline_n if_o not_o second_v by_o civil_a jurisdiction_n breed_v rather_o scorn_v and_o contempt_n than_o amendment_n in_o the_o malicious_a remorse_n of_o this_o present_a age_n think_v then_o what_o rash_a and_o incompetent_a judge_n they_o be_v who_o from_o the_o apostle_n and_o their_o day_n conclude_v temporal_a authority_n not_o requisite_a to_o our_o ordinary_a minister_n a_o four_o argument_n may_v be_v draw_v from_o god_n 4._o own_o institution_n and_o the_o most_o ancient_a practice_n of_o the_o church_n god_n himself_o under_o the_o law_n do_v annect_v civil_a lurisdiction_n to_o the_o office_n of_o priesthood_n it_o be_v therefore_o no_o strangething_n nor_o against_o the_o divine_a law_n that_o a_o churchman_n shall_v bear_v sway_n in_o temporal_a affair_n heli_n samuel_n the_o macchabee_n together_o with_o all_o the_o high_a priest_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n do_v exercise_v this_o kind_n of_o authority_n but_o why_o it_o continue_v not_o so_o for_o some_o hundred_o year_n after_o the_o gospel_n be_v make_v evident_a by_o reason_n above_o allege_v but_o since_o constantine_n the_o great_a submit_v his_o imperial_a sceptre_n to_o christ_n you_o shall_v in_o all_o age_n find_v the_o godly_a bishop_n and_o father_n of_o the_o church_n administer_a civil_a jurisdiction_n by_o religious_a emperor_n to_o they_o impart_v which_o if_o time_n will_v serve_v may_v be_v clear_o testify_v out_o of_o ecclesiastical_a history_n and_o counsel_n and_o out_o of_o the_o emperor_n be_v own_o law_n but_o these_o be_v so_o sufficient_o know_v to_o the_o learned_a that_o the_o citation_n thereof_o will_v prove_v a_o unnecessary_a trouble_n last_o let_v we_o out_o of_o our_o adversary_n own_o grant_n 5._o and_o confession_n prove_v what_o they_o themselves_o deny_v they_o grant_v the_o clergy_n a_o jurisdiction_n whereby_o they_o can_v cite_v before_o their_o court_n heretic_n drunkard_n adulterer_n and_o such_o like_a infamous_a person_n admitaccusation_n against_o they_o hear_v and_o examine_v witness_n and_o give_v sentence_n of_o excommunication_n on_o those_o that_o be_v lawful_o convict_v if_o by_o virtue_n of_o spiritual_a jurisdiction_n from_o christ_n receive_v they_o can_v do_v these_o thing_n why_o shall_v they_o not_o by_o the_o accession_n of_o secular_a jurisdiction_n by_o the_o king_n confer_v imprison_v the_o same_o malefactor_n or_o by_o such_o like_a civil_a punishment_n bridle_v their_o loose_a incontinency_n this_o act_n of_o correction_n be_v no_o less_o warrantable_a in_o its_o own_o nature_n then_o that_o of_o excommunication_n both_o be_v put_v in_o execution_n by_o just_a and_o legitimate_a authority_n neither_o do_v corporal_a punishment_n less_o conduce_v to_o the_o reformation_n of_o delinquent_n and_o the_o church_n good_a than_o those_o mere_o spiritual_a therefore_o by_o the_o allowance_n of_o superior_a authority_n it_o be_v no_o less_o expedient_a that_o clergyman_n shall_v inflict_v one_o kind_n of_o chastisement_n rather_o than_o another_o in_o a_o word_n learned_a mr_n calvin_n do_v grant_v that_o what_o controversy_n 11._o soever_o happen_v between_o christian_n to_o avoid_v strife_n and_o division_n they_o be_v wont_a to_o refer_v they_o to_o their_o 29._o bishop_n by_o their_o judgement_n to_o be_v decide_v and_o st_n augustine_n tell_v we_o that_o he_o daily_o spend_v some_o time_n in_o secular_a affair_n either_o by_o his_o sentence_n determine_v and_o settle_v they_o or_o cut_v they_o off_o by_o his_o interposition_n furthermore_o he_o record_v that_o st_n paul_n employ_v churchman_n in_o such_o troublesome_a matter_n if_o private_a christian_n do_v lawful_o commit_v their_o civil_a controversy_n to_o the_o arbitrement_n of_o bishop_n sure_o christian_a king_n may_v to_o the_o same_o bishop_n lawful_o commit_v the_o judgement_n of_o the_o like_a cause_n if_o at_o the_o request_n of_o private_a man_n it_o be_v not_o unlawful_a for_o churchman_n to_o intermeddle_v with_o secular_a business_n it_o can_v be_v unlawful_a to_o do_v the_o same_o by_o the_o appointment_n of_o the_o king_n for_o as_o the_o matter_n stand_v he_o do_v no_o left_a interest_n himself_o in_o state-affayre_n who_o decide_v controversy_n as_o a_o elect_a arbitrator_n than_o he_o who_o decide_v the_o same_o as_o a_o judge_n ordain_v by_o the_o prince_n let_v we_o conclude_v that_o ambitious_o so_o hunt_v after_o or_o with_o prejudice_n to_o the_o function_n of_o priesthood_n to_o exercise_v civil_a jurisdiction_n be_v a_o proud_a and_o unlawful_a act_n but_o to_o accept_v of_o civil_a jurisdiction_n from_o the_o hand_n of_o a_o king_n and_o to_o administer_v the_o same_o to_o the_o better_a establish_n of_o the_o peace_n and_o discipline_n of_o the_o church_n be_v a_o act_n lawful_a and_o praiseworthy_a most_o agreeable_a to_o the_o ancient_a practice_n of_o the_o church_n and_o no_o way_n repugnant_a to_o
