1641._o a_o answer_n to_o the_o new_a motion_n the_o first_o demand_n whether_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v by_o his_o last_o will_n and_o testament_n give_v unto_o and_o set_v in_o his_o

instruction_n guidance_n and_o service_n of_o his_o church_n unto_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n or_o no_o answer_n i_o have_v rather_o have_v answer_v your_o reason_n than_o these_o your_o bare_a

will_v submit_v to_o the_o truth_n to_o this_o first_o therefore_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v in_o his_o new_a testament_n institute_v perpetual_a office_n in_o his_o church_n and_o all_o their_o calling_n work_n and_o maintenance_n that_o be_v the_o substance_n of_o all_o these_o be_v there_o appoint_v perpetual_a but_o the_o appendant_a circumstance_n be_v

though_o his_o apparel_n be_v vary_v these_o outward_a fashion_n be_v so_o variable_a that_o herein_o nationall_n church_n may_v differ_v one_o from_o another_o yea_o the_o apostle_n alter_v divers_a such_o thing_n themselves_o for_o first_o they_o distribute_v the_o good_n of_o the_o church_n to_o the_o poor_a and_o when_o land_n be_v sell_v the_o money_n be_v bring_v to_o their_o foot_n and_o they_o distribute_v to_o every_o man_n according_a to_o his_o necessity_n act._n 4.35_o yet_o afterward_o upon_o occasion_n it_o fall_v out_o that_o they_o lay_v this_o charge_n from_o themselves_o

woman_n shall_v come_v and_o pray_v in_o public_a be_v perpetual_a but_o that_o they_o shall_v come_v veil_v which_o the_o apostle_n there_o urge_v as_o then_o fit_v be_v now_o no_o where_n think_v necessary_a now_o then_o the_o substance_n of_o call_v office_n work_n and_o maintenance_n of_o the_o ministry_n remain_v the_o outward_a manner_n of_o these_o thing_n may_v vary_v so_o that_o according_a to_o the_o apostle_n rule_v all_o thing_n be_v do_v decent_o and_o in_o order_n the_o second_o demand_n whether_o the_o office_n of_o pastor_n teacher_n elder_n deacon_n and_o helper_n be_v those_o very_a office_n appoint_v by_o christ_n in_o his_o testament_n as_o aforesaid_a or_o whether_o the_o present_a ecclesiastical_a office_n of_o archbishop_n bishop_n dean_n subdeans_a

be_v those_o office_n appoint_v by_o christ_n in_o his_o testament_n or_o not_o answer_n it_o be_v grant_v that_o christ_n have_v institute_v perpetual_a office_n than_o you_o ask_v whether_o your_o
