all_o his_o commandment_n and_o who_o have_v great_a authority_n upon_o the_o earth_n than_o they_o that_o be_v visible_a saint_n and_o what_o make_v man_n visible_a saint_n if_o not_o the_o

here_o in_o the_o land_n of_o england_n and_o whereas_o you_o affirm_v that_o visible_a saint_n can_v ordain_v officer_n because_o they_o have_v no_o gift_n of_o prayer_n i_o answer_v here_o you_o

have_v receive_v the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n to_o cry_v abba_fw-he father_n but_o say_v you_o they_o can_v conceive_v prayer_n according_a to_o the_o action_n in_o bo●●_n here_o you_o will_v seem_v to_o make_v believer_n which_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n to_o lead_v they_o into_o all_o truth_n more_o void_a of_o common_a reason_n than_o man_n that_o have_v but_o gift_n of_o nature_n again_o you_o say_v they_o have_v not_o gift_n to_o make_v public_a exhortation_n and_o admonition_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v if_o they_o have_v first_o knowledge_n to_o feel_v the_o want_n of_o a_o pastor_n and_o also_o divers_a able_a man_n out_o of_o who_o to_o elect_v and_o ordain_v a_o pastor_n than_o they_o out_o of_o who_o this_o person_n be_v choose_v be_v able_a to_o exhort_v and_o to_o admonish_v for_o he_o that_o have_v not_o the_o gift_n of_o teach_v may_v have_v the_o gift_n of_o exhortation_n again_o the_o man_n that_o undertake_v to_o teach_v other_o aught_o to_o be_v teach_v by_o god_n and_o likewise_o to_o be_v able_a by_o sound_a doctrine_n to_o withstand_v the_o gainsayer_n but_o a_o man_n may_v give_v good_a exhortation_n and_o that_o public_o that_o be_v not_o able_a to_o withstand_v the_o gainsayer_n by_o sound_a doctrine_n by_o this_o you_o may_v see_v the_o church_n of_o god_n can_v never_o be_v without_o some_o minister_n except_o it_o be_v according_a to_o that_o speak_v by_o zacha●iah_n in_o the_o day_n of_o very_o small_a thing_n indeed_o when_o god_n shall_v take_v away_o their_o minister_n by_o death_n prison_n or_o exile_n for_o see_v the_o church_n be_v plant_v by_o minister_n of_o god_n own_o ordain_v therefore_o they_o be_v not_o without_o minister_n in_o the_o very_a beginning_n and_o still_o the_o church_n be_v plant_v by_o the_o ministerial_a power_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n which_o can_v be_v exercise_v without_o fit_a instrument_n yet_o that_o they_o must_v want_v the_o word_n preach_v or_o sacrament_n administer_v till_o they_o have_v pastor_n and_o teacher_n in_o office_n be_v yet_o to_o be_v prove_v but_o that_o page_n of_o mr._n robinson_n which_o have_v be_v allege_v before_o be_v sufficient_a for_o this_o

seem_v to_o insinuate_v a_o affirmation_n or_o a_o supposition_n i_o can_v well_o tell_v whether_o that_o a_o rule_a elder_n may_v be_v destitute_a of_o the_o gift_n of_o discering_n and_o seem_v to_o imply_v that_o if_o he_o be_v destitute_a than_o all_o the_o church_n must_v be_v destitute_a if_o there_o be_v no_o more_o officer_n than_o be_v here_o you_o will_v fain_o make_v the_o roll_a elder_n the_o eye_n of_o the_o church_n and_o then_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o body_n must_v be_v blind_a and_o so_o unfit_a to_o have_v any_o hand_n in_o election_n and_o also_o void_a of_o the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n to_o discern_v the_o gift_n by_o though_o it_o have_v be_v prove_v unto_o you_o before_o that_o she_o be_v the_o great_a of_o all_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n to_o lead_v she_o into_o all_o truth_n be_v the_o spouse_n of_o christ_n and_o endow_v with_o all_o his_o riches_n gift_n and_o donation_n and_o thus_o you_o still_o deny_v the_o authority_n and_o ability_n of_o the_o church_n give_v to_o the_o person_n in_o office_n all_o power_n and_o desern_v but_o this_o be_v indeed_o according_a to_o your_o practice_n here_o in_o england_n but_o not_o according_a to_o the_o mind_n and_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o for_o the_o neighbour_n church_n counsel_n i_o deny_v not_o but_o that_o it_o may_v be_v embrace_v and_o the_o saint_n have_v cause_n to_o praise_n god_n for_o any_o help_n of_o god_n ordain_v but_o if_o they_o want_v the_o help_n of_o a_o neighbour_n church_n to_o counsel_n they_o or_o neighbour_n minister_n to_o direct_v they_o yet_o if_o they_o be_v a_o church_n of_o jesus_n christ_n they_o have_v as_o have_v be_v say_v before_o power_n among_o themselves_o to_o elect_v and_o ordain_v their_o own_o officer_n as_o also_o the_o spirit_n of_o discern_v whereby_o to_o try_v their_o gift_n and_o yet_o be_v far_o from_o fall_v into_o that_o evil_a which_o they_o complain_v against_o in_o the_o episcopacy_n namely_o for_o one_o man_n to_o have_v the_o sole_a power_n of_o ordination_n by_o all_o these_o particular_n you_o may_v clear_o see_v all_o your_o pretend_a proof_n and_o former_a assertion_n disprove_v as_o i_o promise_v you_o in_o the_o entrance_n of_o this_o my_o answer_n to_o your_o second_o reason_n so_o that_o these_o two_o first_o reason_n be_v as_o i_o conceive_v the_o great_a champion_n which_o you_o have_v send_v out_o in_o this_o skirmage_n be_v now_o both_o slay_v and_o make_v void_a of_o all_o the_o life_n that_o ever_o be_v in_o they_o for_o they_o be_v make_v most_o of_o supposition_n and_o of_o thing_n that_o appear_v unto_o you_o by_o likelihood_n without_o any_o ground_n from_o the_o scripture_n and_o of_o some_o other_o thing_n than_o god_n word_n allow_v and_o of_o some_o trivial_a affirmation_n which_o be_v not_o ground_v upon_o any_o truth_n of_o god_n word_n now_o these_o two_o be_v thus_o turn_v aside_o by_o one_o of_o the_o mean_a of_o all_o the_o army_n of_o jesus_n christ_n you_o may_v just_o fear_v that_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o your_o soldier_n will_v run_v away_o wound_v in_o your_o three_o reason_n you_o say_v it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v think_v that_o christ_n will_v institute_v such_o a_o government_n of_o his_o church_n which_o afford_v no_o help_n nor_o allow_v no_o way_n or_o remedy_n for_o innocent_a person_n that_o be_v wrong_v which_o thing_n i_o grant_v to_o be_v very_o true_a but_o touch_v the_o mean_n and_o help_n which_o you_o plead_v for_o that_o be_v some_o other_o synod_n to_o appeal_v unto_o i_o tell_v you_o i_o know_v not_o what_o synod_n you_o mean_v but_o this_o i_o affirm_v that_o there_o be_v no_o large_a synod_n to_o be_v keep_v to_o settle_v church_n difference_n than_o the_o come_n together_o of_o the_o minister_n and_o brethren_n as_o it_o be_v mention_v in_o the_o 15_o of_o the_o act_n which_o i_o have_v grant_v you_o in_o my_o answer_n to_o your_o former_a reason_n and_o whereas_o you_o strive_v for_o appeal_n i_o answer_v it_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o christ_n that_o if_o one_o brother_n do_v 17_o trespass_n against_o another_o and_o if_o the_o brother_n offend_v will_v not_o be_v reclaim_v by_o the_o private_a admonition_n of_o the_o brother_n offend_v he_o be_v to_o be_v admonish_v by_o one_o or_o two_o other_o brethren_n with_o he_o but_o if_o he_o will_v not_o hear_v they_o the_o brother_n offend_v be_v to_o tell_v the_o church_n and_o if_o he_o will_v not_o hear_v the_o church_n than_o he_o be_v not_o to_o be_v account_v a_o brother_n but_o as_o a_o heathen_a man_n and_o a_o publican_n if_o not_o as_o a_o brother_n than_o out_o of_o the_o fellowship_n then_o if_o the_o wrong_n be_v any_o personal_a injury_n as_o oppression_n or_o fraud_n or_o any_o other_o sin_n of_o these_o nature_n the_o law_n be_v open_a where_o he_o may_v appeal_v for_o justice_n to_o the_o magistrate_n in_o any_o part_n of_o the_o kingdom_n wherever_o he_o live_v but_o if_o it_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o scandal_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v be_v a_o drunkard_n or_o incontinent_a or_o the_o like_a than_o he_o have_v sufficient_a remedy_n when_o such_o a_o one_o be_v cast_v out_o of_o his_o society_n by_o this_o you_o may_v see_v

by_o the_o canon_n law_n consist_v of_o archbishop_n diocesan_n bishop_n with_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o that_o erew_n for_o this_o be_v indeed_o both_o your_o church_n and_o ministry_n which_o do_v appear_v by_o your_o own_o ground_n because_o you_o affirm_v that_o in_o this_o part_n lie_v all_o the_o power_n but_o by_o your_o own_o ground_n the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o land_n i_o mean_v of_o the_o laity_n as_o you_o call_v they_o have_v no_o power_n at_o all_o to_o reform_v any_o abuse_n therefore_o this_o clergy_n must_v needs_o be_v your_o church_n and_o thus_o you_o make_v yourselves_o the_o head_n and_o body_n and_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o land_n the_o ●ayle_n to_o follow_v after_o you_o now_o if_o you_o can_v prove_v this_o to_o be_v a_o true_a church_n which_o have_v neither_o ground_n nor_o foot_v in_o christ_n testament_n you_o will_v work_v wonder_n but_o indeed_o such_o wonder_n have_v be_v wrought_v by_o you_o for_o all_o the_o world_n have_v wonder_v and_o run_v after_o the_o beast_n say_v who_o be_v like_o unto_o he_o and_o who_o be_v able_a to_o make_v war_n with_o he_o as_o you_o may_v plain_o see_v in_o the_o 13._o of_o the_o reveation_n 13._o therefore_o they_o that_o do_v justify_v such_o a_o church_n be_v such_o as_o have_v be_v deceive_v by_o her_o false_a miracle_n even_o by_o the_o fire_n which_o she_o have_v make_v to_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n i_o pray_v you_o do_v not_o fire_v come_v down_o from_o heaven_n in_o queen_n mary_n time_n and_o devour_v the_o saint_n in_o smithfield_n if_o you_o understand_v heaven_n in_o that_o place_n as_o i_o understand_v it_o to_o be_v the_o seat_n of_o the_o magistrate_n you_o must_v grant_v the_o same_o for_o they_o be_v call_v god_n and_o the_o child_n of_o the_o most_o high_a for_o your_o forefather_n do_v as_o pila●_n do_v wash_v their_o hand_n from_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o saint_n and_o of_o the_o innocent_a and_o turn_v they_o over_o for_o their_o sentence_n of_o condemnation_n to_o the_o secular_a power_n which_o you_o make_v your_o horn_n and_o your_o head_n push_v they_o forward_o to_o execute_v your_o bloody_a cruelty_n and_o thus_o you_o may_v see_v that_o fire_n come_v down_o from_o heaven_n in_o the_o sight_n or_o apprehension_n of_o man_n for_o most_o that_o behold_v it_o think_v it_o be_v just_a because_o it_o be_v the_o sentence_n of_o the_o magistrate_n and_o by_o this_o all_o man_n may_v see_v that_o you_o of_o the_o clergy_n be_v the_o derive_v church_n of_o england_n and_o that_o this_o clergy_n come_v from_o rome_n and_o that_o therefore_o your_o church_n be_v derive_v from_o rome_n now_o if_o you_o will_v know_v whence_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v derive_v i_o conceive_v that_o her_o power_n be_v derive_v from_o the_o beast_n with_o seven_o head_n which_o rise_v up_o out_o of_o the_o sea_n as_o you_o may_v read_v of_o in_o the_o thirteen_o of_o the_o revelation_n for_o there_o both_o those_o beast_n be_v mention_v and_o also_o the_o image_n of_o the_o first_o beast_n which_o the_o second_o beast_n have_v cause_v to_o be_v make_v which_o be_v even_o here_o in_o england_n among_o we_o and_o you_o may_v see_v i_o have_v prove_v unto_o you_o already_o what_o it_o be_v as_o you_o may_v also_o read_v in_o the_o 15._o verse_n of_o that_o chapter_n it_o be_v that_o to_o who_o the_o beast_n give_v a_o spirit_n and_o

it_o not_o may_v neither_o buy_v nor_o sell_v as_o it_o be_v apparent_a by_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o scripture_n itself_o and_o woeful_a experience_n and_o be_v not_o this_o image_n the_o

among_o you_o as_o first_o you_o have_v the_o scripture_n but_o you_o wring_v it_o and_o wrest_v it_o according_a to_o your_o own_o device_n and_o make_v of_o it_o a_o nose_n of_o wax_n and_o a_o
