their_o deal_n be_v with_o i_o be_v through_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n not_o to_o be_v touch_v with_o any_o such_o blame_n and_o one_o who_o according_a to_o the_o measure_n of_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n have_v labour_v now_o some_o year_n painful_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o weak_a estate_n of_o my_o body_n in_o preach_v the_o gospel_n and_o as_o i_o hope_v not_o altogether_o unprofitable_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o church_n but_o i_o beseech_v your_o honour_n to_o give_v i_o leave_v brief_o to_o declare_v the_o particular_a reason_n of_o their_o letter_n and_o what_o answer_n i_o have_v to_o make_v unto_o it_o the_o first_o be_v that_o as_o they_o say_v i_o be_o not_o lawful_o call_v to_o the_o function_n of_o the_o ministry_n nor_o allow_v to_o preach_v according_a to_o the_o law_n of_o this_o church_n of_o england_n for_o answer_v to_o this_o i_o have_v need_v to_o divide_v the_o point_n &_o first_o to_o make_v answer_n to_o the_o former_a wherein_o leave_v to_o show_v what_o by_o the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v require_v in_o a_o lawful_a call_n and_o that_o all_o that_o be_v to_o be_v find_v in_o i_o that_o i_o be_v not_o too_o long_o for_o your_o other_o weighty_a affair_n i_o rest_v i_o this_o answer_n my_o call_n to_o the_o ministry_n be_v such_o as_o in_o the_o call_n of_o any_o thereunto_o be_v appoint_v to_o be_v use_v by_o the_o order_n agree_v upon_o in_o the_o nationall_n synod_n of_o the_o low_a country_n for_o the_o direction_n and_o guidance_n of_o their_o church_n which_o order_n be_v the_o same_o with_o those_o whereby_o the_o french_a &_o scottish_a church_n be_v govern_v whereof_o i_o have_v show_v such_o sufficient_a testimonial_a to_o my_o l._n the_o archbishop_n of_o canterbury_n as_o be_v requisite_a in_o such_o a_o matter_n whereby_o it_o must_v needs_o fall_v out_o if_o any_o man_n be_v lawful_o call_v to_o the_o ministry_n in_o those_o church_n then_o be_v my_o call_n be_v the_o same_o with_o they_o also_o lawful_a but_o i_o suppose_v notwithstanding_o they_o use_v this_o general_a speech_n they_o mean_v only_o my_o call_n be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o deal_v in_o the_o ministry_n within_o this_o land_n because_o i_o be_v not_o make_v minister_n according_a to_o that_o order_n which_o in_o this_o cause_n be_v ordain_v by_o our_o law_n whereunto_o i_o beseech_v your_o honour_n to_o consider_v thorough_o of_o my_o answer_n because_o exception_n now_o again_o be_v take_v to_o my_o ministry_n whereas_o have_v be_v heretofore_o call_v in_o question_n for_o it_o i_o so_o answer_v the_o matter_n as_o i_o continue_v my_o ministry_n and_o for_o any_o thing_n i_o discern_v look_v to_o hear_v that_o no_o more_o object_v unto_o i_o the_o communion_n of_o saint_n which_o every_o christian_a man_n profess_v to_o believe_v be_v such_o as_o that_o the_o act_n which_o be_v do_v in_o any_o true_a church_n of_o christ_n according_a to_o his_o word_n be_v hold_v as_o lawful_a be_v do_v in_o one_o church_n as_o in_o another_o which_o as_o it_o hold_v in_o other_o act_n of_o ministry_n as_o baptism_n marriage_n and_o such_o like_a so_o do_v it_o in_o the_o call_n to_o the_o ministry_n by_o reason_n whereof_o all_o church_n do_v acknowledge_v and_o receive_v he_o for_o a_o minister_n of_o the_o word_n who_o have_v be_v lawful_o call_v thereunto_o in_o any_o church_n of_o the_o same_o profession_n a_o doctor_n create_v in_o any_o university_n of_o christendom_n be_v acknowledge_v sufficient_o qualify_v to_o teach_v in_o any_o country_n the_o church_n of_o rome_n itself_o and_o the_o canon_n law_n hold_v it_o that_o be_v order_v in_o spain_n they_o may_v execute_v that_o belong_v to_o their_o order_n in_o italy_n or_o in_o any_o other_o place_n and_o the_o church_n of_o the_o gospel_n never_o make_v any_o question_n of_o it_o which_o if_o they_o shall_v now_o begin_v to_o make_v doubt_n of_o and_o deny_v such_o to_o be_v lawful_o call_v to_o the_o ministry_n as_o be_v call_v by_o another_o order_n then_o our_o own_o then_o may_v it_o well_o be_v look_v for_o that_o other_o church_n will_v do_v the_o like_a &_o if_o a_o minister_n call_v in_o the_o low_a country_n be_v not_o lawful_o call_v in_o england_n they_o may_v they_o say_v to_o our_o preacher_n which_o be_v there_o that_o be_v make_v by_o another_o order_n they_o they_o they_o can_v suffer_v they_o to_o execute_v any_o act_n of_o ministry_n among_o they_o which_o in_o the_o end_n must_v needs_o breed_v a_o schism_n &_o dangerous_a division_n in_o the_o church_n further_o i_o have_v hear_v of_o those_o that_o be_v learn_v in_o the_o law_n of_o this_o land_n that_o by_o express_a statute_n to_o that_o purpose_n anno_fw-la 13._o upon_o subscription_n of_o the_o article_n agree_v upon_o anno_fw-la 62._o that_o

the_o land_n as_o they_o that_o have_v be_v order_v according_a to_o that_o be_v now_o by_o law_n in_o this_o case_n establish_v which_o comprehend_v manifest_o all_o even_a such_o as_o be_v make_v priest_n according_a to_o the_o order_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o the_o law_n of_o a_o christian_a land_n profess_v the_o gospel_n shall_v be_v as_o favourable_a for_o a_o mimister_n of_o the_o word_n as_o for_o a_o popish_a priest_n which_o also_o be_v so_o find_v in_o mr_n whittingames_n case_n who_o notwithstanding_o such_o reply_n against_o he_o enjoy_v still_o the_o benefit_n he_o have_v by_o his_o ministry_n and_o may_v have_v do_v until_o this_o day_n if_o god_n have_v spare_v he_o life_n so_o long_o which_o if_o it_o be_v understand_v so_o and_o

be_v not_o presentative_a and_o if_o it_o have_v be_v so_o sure_o they_o will_v never_o have_v present_v any_o man_n who_o they_o never_o know_v and_o the_o order_n of_o this_o church_n be_v agree_v

without_o disallow_v the_o order_n of_o the_o church_n provide_v in_o the_o country_n where_o i_o be_v to_o live_v whereby_o i_o hope_v it_o appear_v that_o my_o call_n to_o the_o ministry_n be_v

preach_v only_o which_o every_o deacon_n here_o may_v do_v be_v license_v and_o certain_a that_o be_v neither_o minister_n nor_o deacon_n thus_o i_o answer_v the_o former_a of_o these_o two_o point_n whereof_o if_o there_o be_v yet_o any_o doubt_n i_o humble_o desire_v for_o a_o final_a end_n thereof_o that_o some_o competent_a judge_n in_o law_n may_v determine_v of_o it_o whereunto_o i_o refer_v &_o submit_v myself_o with_o all_o reverence_n and_o duty_n the_o second_o be_v that_o i_o preach_v without_o licence_n where_o unto_o this_o be_v my_o answer_n i_o have_v not_o presume_v upon_o the_o call_n i_o have_v to_o the_o ministry_n abroad_o to_o preach_v or_o deal_v with_o any_o part_n of_o the_o ministry_n within_o this_o church_n with_o out_o the_o consent_n and_o allowance_n of_o such_o

preach_v without_o be_v allow_v as_o they_o charge_v according_a to_o the_o order_n of_o the_o realm_n thus_o have_v answer_v the_o second_o point_n also_o i_o have_v do_v with_o the_o
point_n according_a to_o which_o course_n of_o late_a when_o as_o he_o have_v teach_v that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v a_o true_a church_n of_o christ_n and_o a_o sanctify_a church_n by_o profession_n of_o that_o truth_n which_o god_n have_v reveal_v unto_o we_o by_o his_o son_n though_o not_o a_o pure_a and_o perfect_a church_n &_o further_o that_o he_o doubt_v not_o but_o that_o thousand_o of_o the_o father_n which_o live_v and_o die_v in_o the_o superstition_n of_o that_o church_n be_v save_v because_o of_o their_o ignorance_n which_o excuse_v they_o misalleage_v to_o that_o end_n a_o 1.13_o a_o 1._o tim._n 1.13_o text_n of_o scripture_n to_o prove_v it_o the_o matter_n be_v of_o set_a purpose_n open_o and_o at_o large_a handle_v by_o he_o and_o of_o that_o moment_n

appear_v god_n vouchsafe_v they_o by_o many_o notable_a monument_n and_o record_n extant_a of_o it_o in_o all_o age_n which_o be_v the_o last_o point_n in_o all_o my_o sermon_n rise_v so_o natural_o
