of_o church_n government_n for_o god_n have_v govern_v his_o church_n three_o several_a way_n since_o the_o creation_n one_o way_n before_o the_o law_n another_o way_n under_o the_o law_n and_o a_o

contain_v thrice_o three_o but_o here_o my_o opponent_n will_v reply_v that_o they_o keep_v this_o analogy_n of_o three_o for_o they_o also_o maintain_v three_o degree_n of_o churchman_n preach_v elder_n lay-elders_a and_o deacon_n who_o be_v all_o governor_n of_o the_o church_n and_o preach_v elder_n the_o chief_a governor_n i_o answer_v if_o preach_v elder_n be_v the_o chief_a governor_n then_o according_a to_o the_o replyer_n opinion_n who_o maintain_v that_o the_o high_a priest_n be_v a_o type_n and_o figure_n of_o christ_n as_o he_o be_v chief_a governor_n of_o the_o church_n they_o must_v be_v cashier_v for_o we_o can_v have_v chief_a governor_n now_o under_o the_o gospel_n according_a to_o my_o opposite_n tenet_n and_o so_o it_o will_v follow_v we_o must_v have_v no_o public_a ministry_n at_o all_o nor_o no_o public_a government_n neither_o but_o private_a in_o every_o man_n his_o own_o family_n or_o rather_o every_o man_n must_v do_v according_a as_o he_o be_v move_v by_o the_o spirit_n i_o answer_v further_o that_o those_o three_o order_n be_v neither_o christ_n nor_o his_o apostle_n ordinance_n for_o any_o evidence_n that_o i_o can_v see_v in_o scripture_n no_o not_o so_o much_o as_o any_o show_n or_o appearance_n as_o for_o lay_v elder_n i_o can_v not_o find_v they_o once_o name_v in_o all_o the_o scripture_n although_o the_o apostle_n paul_n do_v particular_o make_v mention_n of_o all_o church_n governor_n under_o the_o apostolical_a order_n in_o his_o epistle_n to_o timothy_n and_o titus_n he_o particular_o declare_v what_o preach_v elder_n and_o deacon_n must_v be_v how_o they_o must_v be_v qualify_v before_o they_o enter_v into_o holy_a order_n but_o never_o one_o word_n of_o lay_v elder_n deacon_n indeed_o he_o nominate_v but_o not_o lay_v deacon_n but_o such_o as_o must_v preach_v the_o gospel_n and_o baptise_v at_o their_o superior_n direction_n and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n paul_n require_v that_o deacon_n keep_v the_o mystery_n of_o faith_n in_o a_o pure_a conscience_n which_o can_v be_v require_v of_o lay_v man_n such_o a_o measure_n of_o knowledge_n as_o be_v understand_v
the_o flesh_n so_o god_n the_o son_n appoint_v the_o other_o to_o continue_v until_o his_o second_o come_v to_o judgement_n and_o both_o to_o remain_v in_o that_o same_o case_n for_o dignity_n and_o authority_n wherein_o they_o be_v first_o establish_v my_o second_o argument_n be_v this_o if_o the_o calling_n of_o the_o apostle_n &c._n &c._n can_v be_v call_v extraordinary_a quo_fw-la ad_fw-la post_fw-la neither_o in_o regard_n of_o their_o extraordinary_a gift_n nor_o extraordinary_a manner_n of_o call_v nor_o the_o extent_n of_o their_o charge_n nor_o their_o infallibility_n of_o spirit_n than_o it_o be_v not_o extraordinary_a at_o all_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o time_n to_o come_v but_o for_o none_o of_o these_o foresay_a respect_n can_v their_o call_n be_v call_v extraordinary_a in_o regard_n of_o the_o time_n to_o come_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o extraordinary_a in_o regard_n of_o the_o time_n to_o come_v i_o prove_v the_o assumption_n and_o first_o that_o their_o call_n can_v be_v call_v extraordinary_a in_o regard_n of_o their_o extraordinary_a gift_n the_o gift_n of_o prophecy_n and_o the_o gift_n of_o miracle_n etc._n etc._n for_o then_o if_o it_o shall_v please_v god_n to_o bestow_v extraordinary_a gift_n upon_o ordinary_a minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n their_o calling_n shall_v cease_v any_o long_a to_o be_v ordinary_a which_o be_v absurd_a to_o say_v for_o it_o be_v evident_a in_o scripture_n that_o ordinary_a minister_n both_o of_o the_o law_n &_o the_o gospel_n have_v have_v extraordinary_a gift_n as_o samuel_n who_o be_v a_o priest_n which_o be_v a_o ordinary_a call_n for_o although_o samuel_n be_v not_o of_o the_o tribe_n of_o levi_n yet_o he_o be_v a_o nazarite_n who_o may_v by_o god_n own_o appointment_n serve_v at_o the_o altar_n and_o yet_o he_o have_v extraordinary_a gift_n 1_o sam._n 1.11_o zachary_n be_v a_o priest_n and_o yet_o he_o have_v the_o gift_n of_o prophecy_n john_n 11.50_o 51._o so_o the_o apostle_n james_n say_v that_o elder_n in_o his_o time_n have_v the_o gift_n of_o healing_n jam._n 5.14_o 15._o and_o yet_o no_o man_n will_v say_v that_o the_o call_n of_o a_o elder_a be_v extraordinary_a other_o than_o be_v now_o so_o the_o call_n of_o a_o king_n be_v a_o ordinary_a call_n and_o yet_o david_n king_n of_o israel_n be_v a_o prophet_n as_o well_o as_o a_o king_n and_o in_o a_o word_n we_o read_v in_o ancient_a history_n that_o many_o churchman_n have_v have_v extraordinary_a gift_n and_o yet_o their_o calling_n be_v ordinary_a and_o so_o i_o conclude_v that_o extraordinary_a gift_n do_v not_o make_v a_o extraordinary_a call_n next_o the_o extent_n of_o their_o charge_n do_v not_o make_v their_o call_n extraordinary_a because_o necessity_n require_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o until_o the_o time_n that_o the_o gospel_n shall_v be_v propagate_v to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o earth_n so_o that_o if_o there_o be_v any_o nation_n yet_o unconvert_v as_o without_o doubt_n there_o be_v too_o many_o the_o governor_n of_o the_o church_n be_v bind_v so_o far_o as_o they_o be_v able_a to_o labour_v their_o conversion_n to_o the_o faith_n of_o jesus_n christ_n for_o i_o think_v no_o man_n will_v say_v but_o that_o that_o charge_v give_v to_o the_o apostle_n go_v teach_v all_o nation_n etc._n etc._n remain_v still_o in_o force_n three_o as_o for_o the_o manner_n of_o their_o call_n be_v without_o education_n trial_n and_o ordination_n it_o make_v it_o extraordinary_a in_o regard_n of_o the_o time_n past_a but_o not_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o time_n to_o come_v for_o the_o high_a priest_n and_o priest_n under_o the_o law_n the_o manner_n of_o their_o call_n be_v extraordinary_a in_o regard_n of_o the_o time_n past_a and_o without_o both_o trial_n and_o education_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o their_o call_n be_v ordinary_a in_o regard_n of_o the_o time_n to_o come_v and_o to_o be_v continue_v in_o the_o church_n until_o christ_n his_o come_n in_o the_o flesh_n and_o last_o infallibility_n of_o spirit_n which_o the_o apostle_n have_v make_v not_o their_o call_n extraordinary_a for_o they_o behove_v to_o be_v infallible_o guide_v because_o they_o be_v to_o lay_v the_o foundation_n whereupon_o other_o be_v to_o build_v they_o be_v to_o plant_v other_o only_o to_o water_n that_o which_o they_o have_v plant_v they_o be_v to_o establish_v the_o faith_n which_o all_o age_n to_o come_v be_v bind_v to_o profess_v and_o so_o it_o be_v most_o necessary_a that_o they_o shall_v be_v infallible_o guide_v by_o the_o spirit_n further_n christ_n promise_n be_v not_o only_o to_o be_v with_o his_o apostle_n but_o with_o they_o and_o their_o successor_n until_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n and_o lo_o i_o be_o with_o you_o say_v he_o until_o etc._n etc._n now_o i_o will_v prove_v by_o evidence_n of_o scripture_n that_o the_o call_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v a_o ordinary_a call_n and_o to_o be_v continue_v until_o the_o second_o come_v of_o our_o saviour_n with_o the_o same_o power_n and_o authority_n both_o for_o ordination_n and_o jurisdiction_n which_o they_o have_v themselves_o my_o first_o testimony_n be_v in_o mat._n 28.19_o out_o of_o which_o i_o form_n this_o argument_n they_o that_o be_v command_v to_o teach_v and_o baptize_v all_o nation_n until_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n their_o call_n be_v ordinary_a and_o to_o continue_v until_o the_o

to_o continue_v until_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n the_o reason_n of_o the_o proposition_n be_v this_o because_o the_o apostle_n be_v not_o other_o way_n able_a to_o keep_v this_o commandment_n but_o in_o their_o successor_n in_o the_o generation_n to_o come_v if_o it_o have_v please_v god_n by_o his_o omnipotent_a power_n to_o preserve_v they_o alive_a and_o keep_v they_o in_o health_n of_o body_n and_o strength_n of_o mind_n for_o that_o end_n i_o think_v none_o will_v have_v be_v more_o able_a than_o they_o but_o it_o please_v he_o not_o to_o do_v so_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v most_o evident_a that_o this_o commandment_n must_v be_v keep_v in_o their_o successor_n and_o consequent_o that_o the_o call_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v ordinary_a in_o regard_n of_o the_o time_n to_o come_v my_o second_o testimony_n be_v in_o mark_n 16.15_o the_o argument_n be_v this_o they_o who_o be_v command_v by_o christ_n to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n to_o every_o creature_n that_o be_v to_o all_o man_n without_o exception_n until_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n their_o call_n be_v ordinary_a and_o to_o continue_v until_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n but_o the_o apostle_n be_v
