be_v no_o question_n but_o the_o church_n may_v alter_v their_o own_o government_n so_o that_o it_o be_v leave_v to_o themselves_o to_o alter_v as_o they_o shall_v think_v most_o convenient_a as_o well_o as_o alter_v the_o sabbath_n from_o the_o seven_o day_n to_o the_o first_o of_o the_o week_n or_o as_o well_o as_o they_o change_v immersion_n into_o aspersion_n of_o the_o baptise_v and_o many_o other_o thing_n which_o carry_v as_o much_o jus_fw-la divinum_fw-la with_o they_o as_o episcopacy_n and_o yet_o be_v change_v the_o jus_fw-la divinum_fw-la that_o be_v in_o episcopal_a government_n do_v not_o consist_v in_o the_o episcopacy_n but_o in_o the_o government_n be_v it_o episcopal_a or_o what_o it_o will_v but_o where_o the_o government_n be_v episcopal_a no_o question_n but_o there_o episcopal_a government_n be_v jure_fw-la divino_fw-la because_o a_o government_n and_o if_o it_o be_v otherwise_o that_o government_n into_o which_o episcopacy_n degenerate_v will_v be_v jure_fw-la divino_fw-la as_o well_o it_o provide_v that_o none_o touch_v this_o ark_n of_o the_o church_n but_o the_o priest_n themselves_o for_o if_o the_o hand_n which_o belong_v to_o the_o same_o

and_o ornament_n so_o if_o episcopal_a government_n of_o the_o church_n be_v put_v down_o or_o alter_v by_o churchman_n themselves_o the_o jus_fw-la divinum_fw-la be_v but_o remove_v from_o the_o

the_o king_n authority_n will_v and_o pleasure_n who_o be_v appoint_v by_o god_n to_o be_v a_o nurse_a father_n of_o his_o church_n to_o alter_v church-government_n so_o ancient_a so_o begin_v by_o christ_n himself_o in_o his_o own_o person_n over_o so_o many_o apostle_n so_o practise_v by_o the_o apostle_n over_o other_o so_o continue_v all_o along_o i_o mean_v episcopacy_n that_o be_v to_o say_v one_o minister_n constitute_v a_o overseer_n of_o many_o and_o to_o lay_v hold_n upon_o tumult_n and_o insurrection_n to_o pull_v down_o these_o overseer_n and_o for_o man_n who_o in_o such_o

to_o judge_v only_o my_o own_o opinion_n be_v this_o that_o any_o government_n thus_o set_v up_o or_o by_o such_o practice_n as_o these_o alter_v must_v needs_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v jure_fw-la divino_fw-la that_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v jure_fw-la diabolico_fw-la but_o it_o may_v be_v object_v that_o if_o they_o shall_v have_v stay_v until_o the_o bishop_n have_v alter_v themselves_o they_o may_v have_v stay_v long_o enough_o to_o which_o it_o may_v be_v answer_v that_o have_v the_o bishop_n be_v but_o as_o poor_a as_o job_n there_o will_v have_v be_v no_o such_o haste_n to_o change_v their_o clothes_n the_o ark_n be_v a_o type_n of_o the_o church_n and_o whatsoever_o be_v literal_o command_v concerning_o the_o type_n must_v be_v analogical_o observe_v in_o the_o thing_n tipify_v god_n sit_v in_o the_o mercy-seat_n that_o be_v over_o the_o ark_n the_o ark_n contain_v within_o it_o aaron_n rod_n and_o a_o pot_n of_o manna_n so_o the_o church_n contain_v the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n the_o kill_a letter_n and_o the_o revive_a spirit_n other_o interpret_v the_o rod_n to_o signify_v the_o government_n and_o discipline_n of_o the_o church_n as_o the_o manna_n the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n and_o food_n that_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n i_o take_v it_o to_o signify_v both_o and_o both_o answer_v my_o purpose_n if_o both_o be_v therein_o contain_v neither_o must_v be_v touch_v but_o by_o the_o priest_n themselves_o neither_o must_v we_o confine_v this_o prohibition_n to_o the_o priest_n of_o the_o law_n only_o but_o we_o must_v extend_v it_o also_o to_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n both_o which_o be_v tipify_v by_o the_o two_o cherubin_n or_o minister_a angel_n of_o the_o almighty_a these_o minister_n or_o angel_n though_o opposite_a to_o one_o another_o yet_o they_o both_o look_v alike_o and_o neither_o of_o they_o upon_o one_o another_o but_o both_o of_o they_o upon_o the_o ark_n that_o be_v between_o they_o there_o be_v mutuality_n in_o their_o look_n and_o their_o wing_n touch_v one_o another_o so_o though_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n seem_v opposite_a in_o the_o administration_n of_o the_o same_o grace_n yet_o they_o must_v come_v so_o near_o as_o to_o touch_v one_o another_o in_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o administration_n exempli_fw-la gratia_fw-la as_o there_o be_v in_o the_o old_a law_n high_a priest_n priest_n and_o levite_n so_o in_o the_o new_a law_n bishop_n presbyter_n and_o deacon_n as_o none_o but_o priest_n be_v to_o touch_v the_o ark_n so_o none_o but_o the_o minister_n shall_v reform_v the_o church_n thus_o much_o for_o government_n now_o for_o episcopacy_n the_o question_n then_o concerning_o episcopacy_n will_v be_v whether_o or_o no_o jure_fw-la divino_fw-la one_o minister_n which_o answer_v to_o all_o name_n and_o sort_n of_o churchman_n and_o church-officer_n whatsoever_o may_v not_o exercise_v jurisdiction_n and_o power_n over_o many_o

give_v order_n and_o direction_n to_o his_o twelve_o apostle_n and_o teach_v they_o how_o they_o shall_v behave_v themselves_o throughout_o this_o diocese_n the_o whole_a world_n how_o do_v saint_n paul_n exercise_v jurisdiction_n over_o timothy_n and_o titus_n who_o be_v both_o bishop_n and_o how_o do_v these_o two_o bishop_n exercise_v jurisdiction_n over_o all_o the_o minister_n of_o crete_n and_o ephesus_n be_v not_o this_o by_o divine_a institution_n if_o i_o find_v by_o divine_a writ_n that_o christ_n lay_v the_o foundation_n of_o his_o church_n in_o himself_o alone_o be_v over_o all_o
