A73049	Englands pvrginge fire Conteyninge two petitions, the one to the Kinges most excellent Majesty, the other to the High Courte of Parliament held at this tyme in England. Shewinge in diverse perticulers, how the Church in England might be ordered, yet more conformably to the Will of God reveiled in his worde then at this day it is. Herewithall is declared, the evell and lamentable effects of our vnable and negligent ministers: and the happy fruict of our learned and painefull pastors. A worke most needefull for theise tymes, as servinge to turne away the wrath and iudgements of God from this lande, through the removinge, (accordinge to the advertisements herein given) such disorders and evells, as for which the wrath of God may be, and is, kindled against this Land, and the church therein.

such_o governor_n our_o people_n will_v be_v better_v and_o the_o church_n state_n and_o majesty_n will_v be_v increase_v for_o our_o people_n seinge_v that_o the_o ancient_n among_o they_o have_v

of_o ground_n be_v but_o few_o inhabitant_n the_o profit_n of_o the_o people_n rather_o than_o state_n of_o a_o congregation_n be_v to_o be_v tender_v leastby_o too_o long_a leangth_n and_o difficulty_n of_o way_n people_n be_v dishearten_a from_o resortinge_v to_o church_n sure_o the_o former_a disposure_n of_o these_o thing_n in_o this_o land_n be_v very_o good_a accord_v to_o the_o time_n and_o we_o in_o these_o time_n need_v the_o less_o alteration_n save_v where_o the_o parish_n be_v too_o small_a to_o yield_v a_o convenient_a revenewe_n or_o else_o too_o great_a to_o assemble_v within_o hear_v of_o a_o preacher_n thus_o have_v write_v of_o our_o parrish-bounde_n i_o pray_v that_o i_o may_v write_v also_o of_o the_o bowde_n of_o our_o bishopric_n and_o arch_a bishopric_n if_o arch-bishhopps_a succeed_v in_o the_o office_n of_o timothy_n &_o titus_n meet_v it_o be_v that_o they_o execute_v in_o the_o church_n that_o office_n therefore_o the_o bound_n of_o their_o charge_n shall_v be_v such_o as_o wherein_o convenient_o that_o weighty_a charge_n may_v be_v execute_v by_o they_o and_o indeed_o it_o be_v fit_a to_o respect_n rather_o the_o profit_n of_o the_o due_a execution_n of_o the_o charge_n than_o the_o pontificality_n of_o the_o bishop_n though_o both_o be_v to_o be_v tender_v yet_o the_o former_a rather_o than_o the_o latter_a now_o that_o arch-bishopps_a propper_o rather_o than_o bishop_n succeed_v in_o the_o office_n of_o timothy_n and_o titus_n i_o gather_v from_o this_o evidence_n first_o because_o titus_n have_v entrust_v unto_o he_o by_o the_o apostle_n the_o charge_n and_o care_n of_o diverse_a city_n and_o their_o church_n titus_n 1.5_o second_o because_o the_o scripture_n show_v by_o many_o particular_n that_o the_o office_n of_o titus_n and_o the_o office_n of_o timothy_n be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o but_o the_o office_n be_v the_o same_o the_o extension_n of_o the_o charge_n over_o diverse_a city_n may_v also_o be_v the_o same_o three_o because_o the_o ancient_a father_n with_o one_o voice_n do_v ever_o account_n of_o the_o office_n of_o timothy_n and_o titus_n to_o be_v a_o like_a last_o because_o the_o ancient_a christian_a church_n allow_v of_o the_o charge_n of_o one_o over_o diverse_a city_n and_o their_o church_n and_o officer_n as_o a_o ordinance_n apostolical_o deliver_v to_o the_o church_n and_o in_o ancient_a time_n such_o be_v call_v arch-bishopps_a which_o also_o be_v a_o name_n very_o ancient_o give_v even_o to_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n himself_o these_o thiug_n consider_v i_o conclude_v that_o in_o asmuch_o as_o now_o and_o in_o the_o most_o ancient_a time_n arch-bishop_n have_v and_o have_v the_o charge_n of_o the_o church_n in_o diverse_a city_n therefore_o they_o propper_o succeed_v in_o the_o office_n of_o timothy_n and_o titus_n for_o sure_o city-bishop_n never_o have_v the_o charge_n of_o diverse_a city_n but_o only_o of_o one_o city_n and_o some_o circuit_n of_o ground_n there_o about_o at_o most_o this_o therefore_o i_o now_o petition_v your_o sacred_a majesty_n for_o that_o in_o england_n the_o office_n or_o charge_n of_o timothy_n and_o titus_n be_v require_v of_o our_o arch-bishop_n to_o be_v execute_v by_o they_o in_o this_o church_n and_o that_o the_o bound_n of_o their_o jurisdiction_n be_v so_o limit_v that_o convenient_o they_o may_v execute_v that_o charge_n and_o for_o the_o charge_n i_o rather_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o that_o which_o i_o find_v in_o the_o epistle_n of_o timothy_n and_o titus_n then_o to_o the_o canon_n of_o the_o church_n in_o after_o time_n for_o the_o first_o i_o be_o sure_o be_v necessary_a duty_n for_o which_o the_o officer_n be_v answerable_a to_o god_n whereas_o the_o latter_a be_v not_o of_o like_a nature_n save_v only_o that_o they_o may_v be_v wholesome_a ordinance_n so_o far_o four_o as_o they_o be_v accordant_a to_o the_o evidence_n of_o sacred_a scripture_n the_o charge_n which_o we_o find_v give_v to_o timothy_n and_o titus_n be_v a_o charge_n to_o see_v all_o of_o all_o sort_n to_o live_v accord_v to_o the_o gospel_n and_o observe_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n give_v to_o the_o church_n by_o the_o apostle_n therefore_o his_o charge_n streatch_v to_o private_a christian_n to_o see_v that_o they_o live_v as_o the_o gospel_n require_v and_o also_o
