A37064	A demonstration of the necessity of settling some Gospel-government amongst the churches of Christ in this nation held forth in an answer to a querie whereby Mr. Saltmarch did once endeavour to hinder the settlement of all church-government in the nation : written in the year 1646, and now published for the present use of these times, wherein it may be seasonable to be taken into consideration for the preventing of further confusion and disorder amongst the professors of the Gospell / by John Dury.	Dury, John, 1596-1680.; Hartlib, Samuel, d. 1662.	1654 (1654)	Wing D2851; ESTC R24917	50,485	74

resolve_v doubt_n the_o four_o section_n have_v this_o argument_n if_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n settle_v no_o gospel-government_n upon_o any_o but_o upon_o such_o as_o first_o be_v bring_v under_o gospel_n obedience_n by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o word_n and_o and_o spirit_n than_o no_o government_n shall_v hasty_o be_v settle_v in_o this_o kingdom_n but_o the_o antecedent_n be_v true_a ergo_fw-la the_o consequent_a also_o now_o to_o make_v good_a the_o consequence_n of_o the_o antecedent_n he_o say_v if_o thousand_o of_o co●gregations_n in_o this_o kingdom_n be_v not_o yet_o bring_v under_o gospel_n obedience_n by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o word_n and_o spirit_n then_o the_o gospel-government_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v settle_v hasty_o in_o this_o kingdom_n but_o thousand_o of_o congregation_n be_v not_o bring_v under_o gospel-obedience_n ergo_fw-la etc._n etc._n here_o observe_v again_o that_o his_o argument_n run_v direct_o against_o gospel-government_n itself_o and_o not_o against_o the_o suppose_a government_n desire_v to_o be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o minister_n but_o the_o answer_n to_o the_o argument_n be_v this_o although_o never_o so_o many_o thousand_o of_o congregation_n be_v not_o yet_o bring_v under_o gospel-obedience_n yet_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o such_o as_o be_v bring_v under_o that_o obedience_n shall_v not_o be_v allow_v by_o the_o magistrate_n to_o have_v that_o government_n settle_v among_o they_o so_o far_o as_o his_o authority_n can_v advance_v it_o and_o if_o he_o do_v but_o give_v way_n to_o the_o minister_n to_o set_v up_o christ_n government_n in_o his_o house_n and_o for_o the_o outward_a manner_n of_o proceed_v therein_o do_v behave_v himself_o as_o a_o patron_n of_o the_o work_n then_o he_o do_v all_o that_o be_v require_v of_o he_o but_o it_o seem_v mr._n saltmarsh_n will_v dissuade_v he_o from_o do_v this_o and_o why_o because_o say_v he_o the_o apostle_n settle_v not_o gospel-government_n till_o gospel-obedience_n be_v wrought_v indeed_o this_o argument_n may_v be_v apply_v to_o minister_n in_o their_o charge_n when_o they_o have_v to_o deal_v with_o a_o people_n which_o do_v not_o yet_o profess_v the_o christian_a religion_n but_o it_o be_v not_o appliable_a to_o a_o magistrate_n who_o be_v set_v over_o a_o people_n profess_v christianity_n for_o the_o magistrate_n be_v require_v be_v bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o give_v way_n to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n and_o without_o delay_n to_o further_a the_o government_n thereof_o so_o far_o as_o he_o can_v as_o soon_o as_o he_o be_v convict_v of_o the_o righteousness_n thereof_o do_v not_o you_o think_v that_o nabuchadnezzar_n and_o darius_n do_v well_o in_o publish_v their_o acknowledgement_n of_o the_o true_a god_n and_o in_o command_v all_o their_o subject_n to_o fear_v and_o reverence_v he_o dan._n 3.29_o and_o 6.25_o although_o their_o subject_n be_v not_o instruct_v to_o know_v he_o and_o do_v not_o artaxerxes_n well_o in_o authorise_v ezra_n to_o settle_v government_n in_o the_o church_n ezra_n 7._o he_o shall_v then_o have_v consider_v that_o the_o duty_n of_o the_o civil_a maigistrate_n in_o settle_v church-government_n be_v quite_o another_o thing_n then_o that_o of_o the_o minister_n and_o he_o contrary_a to_o his_o ministerial_a duty_n intend_v to_o dissuade_v the_o magistrate_n from_o his_o duty_n do_v allege_v that_o which_o be_v proper_a only_o to_o the_o minister_n and_o involve_v it_o with_o that_o which_o be_v proper_a to_o the_o magistrate_n thus_o a_o spirit_n of_o confusion_n do_v as_o with_o a_o whirlwind_n drive_v all_o his_o thought_n to_o mix_v di●orderly_a and_o deceitful_o thing_n of_o a_o different_a nature_n together_o to_o lead_v himself_o and_o other_o by_o some_o appearance_n of_o light_n into_o the_o way_n of_o error_n and_o as_o for_o the_o second_o proposition_n that_o there_o be_v thousand_o of_o congregation_n which_o be_v not_o yet_o bring_v under_o gospel-obedience_n by_o the_o word_n and_o spirit_n how_o far_o this_o be_v true_a i_o know_v not_o but_o i_o suspect_v that_o he_o may_v be_v mistake_v in_o some_o sort_n herein_o also_o not_o that_o i_o intend_v to_o lessen_v the_o opinion_n of_o great_a want_n of_o knowledge_n in_o many_o congregation_n but_o i_o suppose_v he_o mean_v by_o gospel-obedience_n something_o which_o true_o i_o do_v not_o condemn_v he_o for_o seekimg_v after_o but_o yet_o can_v think_v it_o so_o absolute_o necessary_a that_o before_o all_o manner_n of_o government_n be_v settle_v any_o way_n it_o must_v be_v have_v in_o such_o a_o way_n as_o he_o do_v imagine_v and_o till_o that_o be_v so_o have_v all_o that_o otherwise_o know_v christ_n shall_v be_v count_v as_o

government_n in_o a_o ministerial_a way_n that_o every_o one_o who_o be_v to_o be_v govern_v by_o the_o gospel_n may_v out_o of_o conscience_n free_a willing_o submit_v himself_o as_o it_o be_v promise_v it_o shall_v be_v in_o the_o day_n of_o christ_n power_n psal._n 110.3_o but_o yet_o it_o be_v as_o true_a that_o the_o many_o thousand_o of_o congregation_n in_o this_o kingdom_n can_v be_v count_v so_o ignorant_a and_o so_o whole_o destitute_a of_o the_o spirit_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v utter_o incapable_a of_o all_o gospel-government_n it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o they_o all_o know_v christ_n by_o name_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o saviour_n beside_o he_o and_o that_o upon_o this_o ground_n they_o offer_v themselves_o to_o be_v his_o subject_n and_o desire_v at_o least_o in_o the_o outward_a profession_n to_o be_v under_o his_o ordinance_n and_o government_n now_o if_o this_o much_o gospel-obedience_n be_v not_o some_o common_a fruit_n of_o the_o word_n and_o of_o

but_o i_o be_o very_o confident_a that_o the_o new_a reformer_n never_o think_v of_o that_o which_o he_o lay_v to_o their_o charge_n here_o namely_o that_o they_o desire_v a_o share_n of_o

endeavour_v to_o cast_v this_o aspersion_n upon_o other_o he_o do_v manifest_o accuse_v himself_o and_o involve_v those_o for_o who_o he_o plead_v to_o be_v real_o guilty_a even_o of_o that_o whereof_o he_o injust_o accuse_v the_o reform_a minister_n else_o how_o can_v he_o pretend_v on_o their_o behalf_n that_o they_o have_v a_o right_a to_o this_o power_n as_o well_o as_o other_o and_o that_o they_o will_v think_v themselves_o injure_v if_o not_o give_v if_o other_o have_v no_o right_a to_o this_o power_n why_o shall_v they_o for_o who_o he_o plead_v pretend_v to_o it_o and_o if_o they_o may_v think_v it_o a_o injury_n to_o be_v deprive_v of_o it_o than_o they_o clear_o suppose_v and_o he_o grant_v it_o that_o it_o be_v their_o due_n and_o if_o so_o why_o may_v not_o other_o as_o well_o as_o they_o pretend_v unto_o it_o here_o then_o in_o this_o case_n you_o may_v perceive_v that_o he_o mak●s_v himself_o and_o those_o that_o he_o plead_v for_o pretender_n to_o that_o which_o he_o allow_v not_o in_o other_o and_o by_o his_o own_o confession_n herein_o they_o and_o he_o have_v more_o of_o the_o prelatical_a ambition_n than_o can_v be_v show_v in_o any_o minister_n that_o he_o know_v he_o say_v well_o that_o it_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v there_o be_v too_o much_o of_o man_n in_o these_o contestation_n for_o this_o spirit_n which_o be_v now_o in_o he_o do_v covet_v

to_o have_v it_o when_o it_o be_v not_o likely_a that_o he_o himself_o can_v obtain_v it_o therefore_o he_o plead_v that_o no_o power_n at_o all_o may_v be_v permit_v to_o any_o to_o settle_v any_o

his_o discourse_n the_o one_o be_v in_o seven_o the_o other_o in_o the_o 10_o section_n his_o seven_o section_n tell_v the_o state_n that_o there_o be_v danger_n in_o err_v if_o it_o sudden_o involve_v itself_o into_o the_o design_n of_o ecclesiastical_a power_n he_o say_v there_o be_v no_o danger_n in_o the_o not_o sudden_o incorporate_n the_o two_o power_n because_o moses_n be_v not_o alive_a to_o bring_v the_o pattern_n from_o the_o mount_n and_o a_o new_a star_n may_v arise_v which_o yet_o appear_v not_o i_o answer_v his_o policy_n lead_v he_o here_o to_o be_v a_o sceptic_a in_o

what_o if_o these_o confusion_n grow_v great_a and_o become_v habitual_a will_v not_o then_o this_o policy_n prove_v folly_n the_o silly_a proverb_n may_v instruct_v he_o that_o it_o be_v better_a to_o have_v half_o a_o cake_n than_o no_o bread_n but_o than_o he_o say_v there_o be_v no_o great_a danger_n in_o the_o not_o sudden_o incorporate_n of_o two_o power_n he_o take_v it_o as_o grant_v that_o the_o two_o power_n shall_v be_v incorporate_v but_o that_o be_v but_o his_o fancy_n and_o neither_o true_a divinity_n nor_o good_a state_n prudency_n the_o thing_n he_o aim_v at_o be_v a_o

again_o observe_v that_o his_o meaning_n be_v to_o grant_v that_o both_o power_n may_v be_v in_o one_o hand_n and_o that_o the_o ecclesiastical_a may_v have_v design_n and_o be_v abuse_v to_o break_v the_o civil_a power_n i_o confess_v that_o if_o the_o power_n be_v as_o he_o call_v they_o incorporate_v they_o may_v be_v abuse_v whether_o they_o be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o civil_a or_o

thus_o settle_v the_o eccle●●asticall_a can_v have_v no_o design_n upon_o the_o civil_a but_o as_o long_o as_o he_o grant_v the_o incorporate_n of_o both_o into_o one_o and_o the_o same_o hand_n he_o will_v never_o avoid_v this_o true_a it_o be_v the_o papal_a and_o prelatical_a state_n do_v incorporate_a both_o but_o if_o he_o can_v show_v wherein_o the_o reforme●●_z do_v it_o he_o shall_v have_v

of_o all_o disease_n and_o true_o it_o be_v clear_a in_o this_o his_o discourse_n and_o perhaps_o in_o his_o whole_a way_n that_o he_o practise_v for_o his_o own_o part_n the_o mixture_n of_o
