perpetual_a assistance_n which_o paul_n call_v the_o pillar_n and_o ground_n of_o verity_n but_o now_o our_o romanistes_n have_v draw_v this_o article_n of_o faith_n in_o lesser_a bound_n that_o the_o

particular_o to_o recount_v the_o innumerable_a novelty_n of_o the_o court_n of_o rome_n and_o these_o most_o pernicious_a error_n whereby_o a_o boucherie_n of_o soul_n be_v wrought_v the_o vigour_n of_o church_n discipline_n be_v break_v the_o propagation_n and_o purge_n of_o religion_n be_v hinder_v and_o innumerable_a offence_n be_v bring_v in_o the_o church_n the_o civil_a peace_n of_o

of_o the_o ecclesiastic_a republic_n which_o i_o have_v in_o readiness_n and_o shall_v give_v to_o be_v print_v in_o germany_n as_o first_o commodiouf_o occur_v to_o i_o in_o this_o my_o journey_n all_o that_o work_n of_o the_o ecclesiastic_a republic_n i_o comprehend_v in_o ten_o book_n in_o the_o first_o whereof_o i_o search_v out_o the_o form_n of_o this_o republic_n and_o do_v determine_v that_o the_o church_n under_o christ_n appertain_v to_o a_o most_o perfect_a monarchy_n and_o that_o not_o the_o less_o the_o minister_n of_o christ_n on_o earth_n by_o christ_n own_o institution_n be_v most_o far_o from_o a_o earthly_a monarchy_n &_o do_v govern_v the_o church_n with_o a_o aristocratie_n or_o choice_n government_n not_o without_o some_o mixture_n of_o a_o democraty_n or_o popular_a government_n and_o consequent_o i_o show_v that_o the_o primacy_n of_o peter_n be_v contrary_a to_o the_o euangel_n &_o institution_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o second_o book_n i_o consider_v the_o governor_n &_o minister_n of_o the_o ecclesiastic_a republic_n who_o they_o be_v &_o what_o succession_n can_v be_v give_v to_o the_o holy_a apostle_n what_o be_v the_o institution_n of_o bishop_n wherein_o they_o differ_v from_o presbyter_n who_o be_v the_o inferior_a minister_n and_o what_o force_n holy_a order_n have_v in_o this_o republic_n in_o the_o third_o i_o do_v expound_v what_o be_v the_o hierarchy_n to_o be_v find_v among_o the_o bishop_n and_o governoure_v of_o this_o republic_n and_o i_o do_v teach_v that_o there_o be_v no_o praeheminence_n nor_o subjection_n among_o bishop_n by_o divine_a right_n but_o that_o degree_n of_o place_n among_o they_o be_v distinguish_v by_o the_o constitution_n of_o the_o church_n only_o and_o consequent_o i_o do_v treat_v of_o the_o election_n confirmation_n consecration_n or_o ordination_n of_o bishop_n and_o of_o the_o power_n of_o metropolitanes_n primate_fw-la and_o patriarch_n in_o the_o four_o i_o examine_v the_o privilege_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o do_v prove_v that_o neither_o in_o herself_o nor_o in_o her_o bishop_n nor_o clergy_n she_o have_v any_o praeheminence_n give_v she_o of_o christ_n above_o other_o church_n but_o if_o any_o she_o have_v have_v or_o now_o have_v she_o have_v take_v it_o from_o the_o help_n and_o furtherance_n of_o man_n in_o the_o five_o i_o do_v undertake_v to_o search_v out_o the_o proper_a power_n of_o the_o church_n and_o do_v prove_v that_o it_o be_v meerelie_o spiritual_a and_o so_o i_o remove_v far_o from_o the_o church_n all_o earthly_a jurisdiction_n and_o then_o consequent_o i_o dispute_v of_o the_o force_n and_o operation_n of_o sacrament_n and_o of_o ecclesiastical_a censure_n in_o the_o six_o i_o compare_v the_o power_n of_o the_o laity_n and_o of_o the_o church_n that_o the_o difference_n betwixt_o the_o ecclesiastic_a and_o temporal_a republic_n may_v appear_v and_o i_o do_v show_v that_o christian_a temporal_a prince_n may_v do_v many_o thing_n in_o the_o church_n but_o the_o church_n in_o temporal_a thing_n and_o especial_o towards_o king_n may_v do_v nothing_o at_o all_o i_o treat_v also_o of_o the_o temporal_a kingdom_n of_o christ_n of_o the_o power_n of_o the_o laity_n whence_o it_o be_v and_o of_o how_o large_a extent_n of_o the_o immunity_n of_o the_o church_n and_o churchman_n of_o inuestiture_n of_o the_o monarchy_n of_o sicill_n and_o such_o like_a in_o the_o seven_o i_o consider_v the_o inward_a direction_n of_o the_o ecclesiastic_a republic_n which_o be_v by_o faith_n and_o i_o inquire_v for_o the_o true_a rule_n of_o faith_n and_o so_o i_o dispute_v of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n of_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n and_o of_o the_o pope_n over_o it_o of_o counsel_n of_o heresy_n of_o schism_n and_o such_o like_a in_o the_o eight_o i_o consider_v the_o external_a government_n of_o the_o church_n by_o law_n canon_n and_o judicatories_n thereafter_o i_o discuss_v how_o far_o canon_n do_v oblish_v of_o dispensation_n of_o command_n enjoin_v fast_v prayer_n and_o such_o like_a in_o the_o nine_o i_o come_v to_o the_o temporal_a good_n of_o the_o church_n and_o i_o expound_v at_o length_n how_o spare_v the_o sustentation_n of_o the_o minister_n shall_v be_v whence_o it_o shall_v be_v take_v and_o how_o church_n good_n shall_v be_v guide_v i_o treat_v also_o of_o tithe_n of_o benefice_n of_o dominion_n over_o church-goods_a of_o the_o use_n and_o abuse_v of_o church-rent_n of_o pension_n of_o commendas_fw-la and_o testament_n of_o the_o clergy_n in_o the_o ten_o and_o last_o i_o undertake_v to_o expound_v the_o liberty_n of_o the_o church_n that_o we_o may_v see_v what_o way_n this_o republic_n be_v free_a and_o consequent_o i_o treat_v of_o privilege_n and_o person_n privilege_v of_o the_o abuse_n of_o privilege_n of_o exemption_n and_o person_n exempt_v of_o the_o subjection_n of_o monk_n and_o such_o like_a this_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o my_o painful_a study_n for_o while_o upon_o the_o occasion_n before_o name_v i_o do_v griedy_o read_v holy_a scripture_n the_o orthodox_n father_n the_o holy_a canon_n and_o volume_n of_o counsel_n my_o eye_n be_v

writing_n have_v beget_v this_o work_n the_o sum_n whereof_o i_o have_v rehearse_v i_o see_v therefore_o plain_o and_o do_v perceive_v that_o in_o our_o church_n we_o have_v go_v far_o astray_o from_o the_o right_a path_n both_o in_o doctrine_n and_o discipline_n what_o then_o shall_v i_o do_v more_o in_o the_o mid_n of_o a_o wicked_a &_o froward_a nation_n if_o as_o reason_n crave_v i_o will_v have_v govern_v my_o own_o church_n according_a to_o the_o ancient_a discipline_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n and_o propone_v true_a and_o catholic_n doctrine_n i_o shall_v by_o that_o mean_n

of_o as_o great_a estimation_n in_o our_o church_n &_o province_n i_o be_o not_o ashamed_a to_o confess_v the_o truth_n as_o any_o other_o and_o if_o the_o dignity_n of_o rome_n have_v be_v pleasant_a
