a_o brief_a answer_n to_o three_o very_a great_a and_o concern_v question_n there_o be_v at_o this_o day_n three_o great_a question_n which_o if_o they_o be_v right_o state_v and_o thorough_o

or_o else_o quiet_a and_o compose_v their_o spirit_n if_o they_o be_v call_v to_o suffer_v the_o first_o question_n be_v concern_v the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n i_o mean_v such_o as_o be_v otherwise_o right_o qualify_v to_o preach_v as_o be_v gift_v by_o god_n quest_n 1_o and_o call_v by_o the_o people_n but_o be_v forbid_v by_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n to_o exercise_v that_o office_n the_o question_n concern_v they_o be_v whether_o in_o obedience_n to_o the_o command_n of_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n they_o be_v to_o forbear_v preach_v or_o not_o i_o answer_v by_o no_o mean_n and_o that_o ans_fw-fr 1_o first_o from_o the_o example_n of_o our_o saviour_n and_o his_o apostle_n who_o though_o they_o be_v as_o subject_a to_o the_o law_n as_o we_o be_v now_o and_o enjoin_v obedience_n to_o all_o the_o lawful_a command_n of_o civil_a magistrate_n yet_o when_o ever_o the_o civil_a authority_n be_v abuse_v to_o hinder_v preach_v they_o do_v constant_o refuse_v to_o obey_v they_o thus_o our_o saviour_n who_o as_o man_n behave_v himself_o wise_o 52.13_o wise_o isa_n 52.13_o and_o command_v all_o his_o follower_n to_o do_v so_o yet_o in_o his_o preach_n he_o do_v not_o walk_v by_o those_o rule_n of_o secrecy_n and_o concealment_n which_o be_v now_o account_v prudential_a for_o when_o he_o be_v question_v concern_v his_o doctrine_n he_o answer_v 18.20_o answer_v
