A76085	The second part of that book call'd Independency not Gods ordinance: or the post-script, discovering the uncharitable dealing of the Independents towards their Christian brethren, with the jugglings of many of their pastors and ministers, to the misleading of the poor people to the detriment of their own souls, and the hurt both of church and state, with the danger of novelties in religion; proving that Independency, is one of the most dangerous sects, that ever appeared in the world, since mortality inhabited the earth. In the which also there is a satisfactory answer given to the principall cavils of him that writ that railing pamphlet, stil'd The falshood of Mr Will. Prynnes Triumphing in the antiquity of popish princes and parliaments. With Doctor Bastvvicks just defence against some calumnies in way of preface. / By John Bastvvick, Dr in Physick.; Independency not Gods ordinance.

vers_fw-la 18._o he_o say_v that_o the_o sound_n of_o the_o gospel_n go_v into_o all_o the_o earth_n and_o their_o word_n mean_v of_o the_o apostle_n unto_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n and_o in_o the_o 15._o chapter_n and_o vers_fw-la 18_o 19_o he_o affirm_v that_o christ_n so_o wrought_v by_o he_o as_o he_o make_v the_o gentile_n obedient_a by_o word_n &_o deed_n through_o mighty_a sign_n &_o wonder_n by_o the_o prower_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n so_o that_o from_o jerusalem_n and_o round_a about_o all_o illericum_fw-la he_o have_v full_o preach_v the_o gospel_n and_o that_o he_o have_v so_o strive_v to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n not_o where_o christ_n be_v name_v lest_o he_o shall_v build_v upon_o another_o man_n foundation_n and_o in_o his_o 1._o epistle_n to_o the_o thessalonian_o vers_n 8._o he_o teach_v that_o from_o they_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n sound_v not_o only_o in_o macedonia_n and_o achaia_n but_o also_o in_o every_o place_n say_v he_o your_o faith_n to_o god-ward_o be_v spread_v abroad_o so_o that_o we_o need_v not_o to_o speak_v any_o thing_n here_o we_o see_v whole_a city_n and_o country_n be_v convert_v and_o become_v christian_n and_o in_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n there_o be_v frequent_a mention_n of_o whole_a city_n and_o country_n convert_v by_o the_o miracle_n and_o preach_v of_o the_o apostle_n who_o the_o people_n think_v of_o and_o look_v upon_o as_o god_n come_v down_o from_o heaven_n so_o that_o all_o asia_n in_o a_o short_a time_n be_v convert_v by_o the_o apostle_n ministry_n for_o the_o people_n see_v the_o apostle_n raise_v the_o dead_a and_o cure_v all_o disease_n and_o that_o by_o their_o very_a shadow_n and_o by_o touch_v but_o the_o garment_n and_o handcarchief_n or_o any_o thing_n that_o

they_o preach_v nothing_o but_o those_o thing_n that_o tend_v to_o make_v they_o eternal_o happy_a they_o come_v in_o in_o mighty_a multitude_n through_o city_n and_o whole_a country_n to_o believe_v the_o gospel_n and_o be_v make_v christian_n daily_o so_o that_o by_o some_o one_o of_o their_o miracle_n they_o convert_v more_o than_o can_v meet_v well_o in_o any_o one_o congregation_n to_o partake_v in_o all_o act_n of_o worship_n and_o to_o edification_n and_o there_o be_v still_o daily_o increase_v upon_o increase_n of_o christian_n through_o both_o city_n and_o country_n as_o both_o the_o scripture_n and_o all_o the_o ecclesiastical_a history_n relate_v so_o that_o all_o reason_n dictate_v unto_o any_o intelligible_a man_n that_o in_o a_o short_a time_n there_o must_v of_o necessity_n in_o every_o city_n and_o through_o the_o several_a country_n be_v many_o congregation_n and_o assembly_n and_o many_o presbytor_n ordain_v over_o they_o for_o the_o roll_a and_o govern_v and_o daily_o instruct_v of_o they_o and_o for_o the_o build_n of_o they_o all_o up_o in_o the_o holy_a faith_n for_o all_o these_o the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o be_v such_o as_o be_v real_o convert_v or_o at_o least_o make_v profession_n of_o the_o say_v as_o simon_n magus_n and_o be_v therefore_o admit_v into_o the_o bosom_n of_o the_o church_n and_o into_o the_o fellowship_n of_o the_o saint_n and_o all_o good_a reason_n will_v teach_v man_n that_o the_o apostle_n and_o those_o primative_a minister_n have_v a_o more_o excellent_a faculty_n of_o convert_v man_n than_o our_o independent_a pastor_n &_o teacher_n by_o who_o ministry_n yet_o i_o never_o hear_v of_o any_o that_o be_v convert_v for_o their_o congregation_n all_o of_o they_o consist_v of_o such_o as_o be_v convert_v to_o their_o hand_n but_o if_o a_o few_o of_o they_o without_o miracle_n have_v be_v so_o powerful_a through_o city_n and_o country_n to_o gather_v so_o many_o congregation_n and_o several_a church_n here_o in_o london_n and_o through_o all_o the_o city_n and_o town_n where_o they_o have_v be_v preach_v their_o novelty_n shall_v we_o be_v so_o blockish_a and_o stupid_a to_o think_v that_o all_o the_o apostle_n together_o and_o so_o many_o other_o famous_a minister_n as_o be_v for_o many_o year_n always_o resident_a in_o jerusalem_n they_o can_v all_o convert_v no_o more_o christian_n than_o can_v meet_v in_o one_o place_n or_o congregation_n and_o that_o at_o ephesus_n and_o in_o the_o other_o city_n and_o country_n where_o the_o scripture_n relate_v that_o there_o be_v such_o infinite_a multitude_n daily_o convert_v and_o addition_n of_o new_a believer_n upon_o new_a believer_n add_v to_o the_o church_n that_o they_o may_v ever_o meet_v in_o one_o congregation_n and_o in_o one_o assembly_n to_o communicate_v in_o all_o the_o ordinance_n no_o reason_n will_v persuade_v this_o to_o any_o man_n that_o have_v not_o promise_v to_o himself_o to_o believe_v nothing_o but_o what_o he_o see_v with_o his_o own_o eye_n but_o that_o i_o may_v again_o return_v to_o the_o church_n in_o jerusalem_n the_o pattern_n of_o all_o church_n for_o government_n i_o affirm_v that_o in_o that_o great_a and_o mighty_a city_n there_o be_v more_o believer_n than_o can_v meet_v in_o any_o one_o or_o a_o few_o place_n to_o communicate_v in_o all_o act_n of_o worship_n and_o that_o there_o be_v many_o congregation_n of_o christian_n there_o in_o the_o apostle_n time_n and_o many_o year_n after_o and_o beside_o the_o many_o reason_n i_o have_v in_o the_o forego_n treatise_n specify_v for_o a_o further_a demonstration_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o that_o assertion_n i_o shall_v here_o add_v a_o few_o more_o and_o among_o other_o that_o out_o of_o paul_n in_o the_o first_o of_o the_o galathian_o which_o i_o only_o touch_v in_o the_o forego_n tractate_n where_o he_o signify_v to_o the_o galathian_o that_o he_o receive_v not_o the_o gospel_n from_o the_o apostle_n but_o from_o jesus_n christ_n himself_o that_o they_o may_v the_o more_o cheerful_o embrace_v it_o and_o give_v credit_n unto_o it_o for_o say_v he_o i_o preach_v the_o gospel_n in_o arabia_n to_o the_o heathen_n before_o i_o see_v the_o apostle_n and_o have_v continue_v my_o ministry_n three_o year_n before_o i_o go_v up_o to_o jerusalem_n to_o they_o indeed_o after_o three_o year_n say_v he_o i_o go_v up_o to_o jerusalem_n to_o see_v peter_n and_o abode_n with_o he_o fifteen_o day_n but_o other_o of_o the_o apostle_n see_v i_o none_o save_o james_n the_o lord_n brother_n not_o that_o they_o be_v absent_a and_o therefore_o i_o receive_v not_o the_o gospel_n from_o they_o but_o from_o christ_n himself_o in_o the_o which_o word_n we_o have_v not_o only_o a_o singular_a argument_n to_o confirm_v the_o preach_a and_o write_v of_o the_o apostle_n paul_n to_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n against_o the_o papist_n but_o we_o have_v also_o a_o excellent_a reason_n against_o the_o new_a opinion_n of_o the_o independent_o to_o prove_v many_o congregation_n in_o the_o church_n of_o jerusalem_n for_o paul_n be_v a_o diligent_a frequenter_a of_o the_o synagogue_n and_o assembly_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o christian_n wheresoever_o he_o come_v as_o it_o be_v often_o specify_v in_o the_o scripture_n where_o he_o preach_v the_o word_n and_o gospel_n unto_o the_o people_n and_o it_o be_v also_o clear_a and_o evident_a by_o the_o same_o scripture_n as_o in_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o in_o the_o epistle_n of_o saint_n james_n and_o many_o other_o place_n that_o synagogue_n and_o church_n be_v sunonymaes_n and_o be_v often_o take_v one_o for_o another_o as_o bishop_n and_o presbyter_n be_v for_o the_o ordinary_a minister_n and_o preacher_n of_o the_o word_n now_o by_o the_o very_a light_n of_o reason_n all_o man_n that_o have_v not_o resin_a their_o understanding_n will_v gather_v that_o if_o there_o have_v be_v but_o one_o meeting_n place_n or_o one_o congregation_n of_o believer_n in_o the_o church_n of_o jerusalem_n that_o paul_n remain_v there_o fifteen_o day_n in_o all_o that_o time_n he_o will_v have_v frequent_v the_o assembly_n of_o believer_n at_o lest_o if_o he_o have_v not_o preach_v unto_o they_o who_o be_v so_o diligent_a both_o in_o hear_v and_o in_o preach_v in_o all_o other_o place_n be_v he_o come_v and_o if_o there_o have_v then_o be_v but_o one_o meetingplace_n in_o jerusalem_n and_o but_o one_o congregation_n without_o doubt_n the_o apostle_n will_v daily_o have_v be_v at_o their_o employment_n which_o be_v to_o pray_v with_o the_o people_n and_o preach_v unto_o they_o for_o they_o never_o be_v idle_a nor_o desert_v not_o their_o charge_n now_o when_o they_o be_v always_o employ_v in_o their_o several_a ministery_n it_o be_v manifest_a that_o there_o be_v several_a assembly_n or_o congregation_n of_o believer_n in_o jerusalem_n that_o hinder_v the_o
