part_n of_o the_o government_n of_o both_o church_n universal_a and_o particular_a because_o such_o general_n officer_n be_v so_o in_o the_o universal_a as_o to_o have_v a_o general_a oversight_n of_o the_o particular_a as_o a_o army_n be_v head_v only_o by_o the_o general_n himself_o and_o a_o regiment_n by_o the_o colonel_n and_o a_o troop_n by_o the_o captain_n but_o the_o general_a officer_n of_o the_o army_n as_o the_o lieutenant_n general_n the_o major_n general_n etc._n etc._n be_v under_o the_o lord_n general_n in_o and_o over_o the_o army_n and_o have_v a_o general_a oversight_n of_o

he_o have_v some_o general_n officer_n under_o he_o not_o any_o one_o have_v the_o charge_n of_o the_o whole_a but_o in_o the_o whole_n unfix_o or_o as_o they_o voluntary_o part_v their_o province_n and_o that_o each_o particular_a church_n have_v their_o own_o proper_a pastor_n one_o or_o more_o then_o who_o can_v say_v that_o no_o form_n of_o church_n government_n be_v of_o divine_a appointment_n or_o command_n so_o far_o mr._n baxter_n with_o who_o i_o find_v other_o nonconformist_n to_o agree_v in_o the_o notion_n of_o diocesan_n bishop_n which_o be_v enough_o not_o only_o to_o

ancient_a author_n yet_o three_o order_n and_o office_n be_v not_o evident_a to_o he_o yet_o it_o be_v evident_a he_o have_v prove_v it_o solid_o enough_o even_o from_o the_o scripture_n alone_o to_o which_o whoever_o shall_v join_v the_o practice_n and_o testimony_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n as_o a_o help_n to_o explain_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o scripture_n must_v needs_o be_v persuade_v of_o the_o truth_n of_o these_o three_o order_n in_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n and_o therefore_o this_o objection_n from_o the_o preface_n to_o the_o book_n of_o ordination_n be_v of_o no_o
