good_a reason_n or_o else_o you_o shall_v have_v the_o conquest_n but_o you_o have_v in_o this_o your_o antipologia_fw-la name_v some_o learned_a author_n who_o have_v write_v against_o separation_n among_o which_o mr._n rutherford_n be_v one_o and_o i_o have_v see_v mr._n rutherford_n book_n and_o also_o weigh_v it_o but_o i_o can_v not_o discern_v that_o he_o have_v set_v down_o any_o thing_n against_o separation_n that_o have_v any_o force_n neither_o have_v he_o prove_v any_o thing_n sufficient_o but_o have_v propound_v many_o query_n which_o have_v be_v both_o frame_v and_o answer_v long_o ago_o and_o he_o have_v in_o his_o discourse_n express_v and_o repeat_v many_o answer_n which_o have_v be_v make_v to_o those_o queeire_n by_o the_o separation_n and_o run_v they_o over_o he_o tell_v we_o what_o this_o man_n say_v and_o what_o that_o man_n say_v and_o what_o another_o man_n say_v but_o he_o in_o declare_v his_o own_o conception_n follow_v his_o blind_a zeal_n and_o popish_a author_n run_v himself_o headlong_o to_o justify_v the_o church_n and_o ministry_n of_o rome_n against_o the_o separate_v argument_n there_o specify_v bring_v no_o sufficient_a proof_n either_o of_o his_o own_o or_o other_o man_n against_o they_o see_v therefore_o i_o will_v have_v understand_v man_n to_o consider_v whether_o this_o of_o his_o be_v learned_a or_o pious_a writing_n yea_o or_o no_o the_o general_a scope_n of_o his_o book_n tend_v to_o prove_v that_o the_o power_n of_o the_o church_n rest_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o her_o officer_n but_o he_o shall_v consider_v that_o christ_n have_v give_v the_o power_n to_o his_o church_n which_o be_v his_o body_n and_o spouse_n of_o which_o and_o of_o who_o he_o himself_o be_v the_o head_n and_o husband_n neither_o can_v any_o officer_n in_o the_o church_n move_v ecclesiastical_o without_o the_o power_n of_o the_o church_n no_o more_o than_o a_o man_n arm_n or_o leg_n or_o prime_a member_n can_v move_v except_o it_o derive_v power_n from_o the_o body_n of_o which_o it_o be_v a_o natural_a member_n yea_o the_o power_n of_o the_o key_n be_v as_o absolute_o the_o church_n which_o be_v christ_n wife_n as_o the_o power_n of_o the_o key_n of_o the_o family_n be_v the_o mistrise_n to_o who_o the_o husband_n give_v full_a power_n and_o i_o think_v no_o reason●●le_n man_n will_v affirm_v if_o her_o husband_n give_v her_o sole_a power_n in_o his_o absence_n that_o she_o be_v subordinate_a to_o any_o of_o her_o servant_n now_o the_o scripture_n be_v clear_a that_o christ_n who_o be_v ascend_v up_o on_o high_a have_v deliver_v the_o power_n to_o his_o church_n therefore_o it_o be_v against_o the_o light_n and_o law_n of_o nature_n to_o conceive_v the_o church_n to_o be_v thus_o subordinate_a to_o the_o servant_n but_o rather_o we_o may_v speak_v with_o reverence_n to_o christ_n that_o her_o servant_n be_v subordinate_a unto_o she_o and_o it_o be_v a_o dishonour_n unto_o christ_n for_o they_o to_o usurp_v ecclesiastical_a authority_n over_o she_o but_o in_o case_n they_o shall_v so_o do_v she_o have_v receive_v commission_n from_o christ_n her_o husband_n to_o deal_v with_o they_o according_a to_o the_o offence_n commit_v by_o they_o and_o if_o need_v require_v to_o cast_v they_o out_o and_o then_o not_o to_o suffer_v they_o to_o enter_v in_o again_o but_o by_o the_o door_n of_o repentance_n but_o as_o mr._n rutherford_n by_o plead_v for_o the_o ecclesiastical_a power_n to_o be_v in_o the_o officer_n have_v give_v great_a advantage_n to_o the_o pope_n so_o have_v he_o to_o the_o anabaptist_n by_o plead_v the_o universality_n of_o his_o church_n bring_v in_o the_o seed_n of_o wicked_a man_n to_o be_v baptise_v because_o their_o fore_a father_n be_v a_o believe_a parent_n 6._o but_o upon_o this_o ground_n all_o the_o infant_n in_o the_o world_n be_v baptizable_a because_o a_o believer_n be_v the_o father_n of_o they_o all_o but_o the_o scripture_n teach_v we_o otherwise_o for_o the_o house_n of_o jacob_n be_v forsake_v by_o the_o lord_n because_o they_o enlarge_v themselves_o from_o the_o east_n and_o be_v soothsayer_n like_o the_o philistine_n and_o please_v themselves_o with_o the_o child_n of_o stranger_n you_o have_v join_v to_o your_o antipologia_fw-la certain_a reason_n against_o toleration_n which_o be_v the_o same_o in_o substance_n with_o those_o which_o you_o bring_v in_o your_o former_a and_o see_v they_o have_v be_v large_o answer_v there_o in_o the_o answer_n to_o your_o ten_o reason_n and_o in_o my_o reply_n to_o your_o answer_n to_o their_o six_o reason_n it_o be_v folly_n for_o you_o to_o study_v to_o relieve_v those_o reason_n to_o serve_v your_o turn_n for_o until_o you_o be_v able_a to_o stand_v out_o and_o prove_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n which_o you_o call_v your_o church_n be_v the_o church_n of_o jesus_n christ_n as_o it_o now_o stand_v in_o confusion_n and_o the_o ministry_n thereof_o either_o in_o the_o synod_n or_o out_o of_o the_o synod_n be_v the_o ministry_n which_o christ_n give_v to_o his_o church_n when_o he_o ascend_v up_o on_o high_a till_o this_o be_v prove_v which_o can_v never_o be_v all_o the_o argument_n which_o you_o have_v bring_v or_o can_v bring_v against_o the_o separate_v under_o the_o name_n of_o sectary_n be_v still_o against_o yourself_o for_o whether_o there_o be_v sectary_n or_o schismatic_n whether_o athist_n or_o papist_n whether_o wanton_a witted_a christian_n as_o you_o term_v they_o disobedient_a to_o magistrate_n unfaithful_a to_o

therefore_o i_o will_v advise_v you_o hereafter_o to_o let_v baal_n plead_v for_o himself_o and_o go_v not_o about_o to_o make_v the_o magistrate_n believe_v that_o it_o be_v their_o duty_n to_o suppress_v the_o church_n of_o christ_n to_o heal_v the_o rent_n of_o your_o confuse_a church_n state_n for_o though_o all_o the_o prophet_n in_o the_o land_n will_v heal_v babel_n yet_o she_o shall_v never_o be_v heal_v for_o in_o a_o general_a apostasy_n there_o can_v be_v no_o true_a reformation_n but_o by_o a_o total_a visible_a separation_n of_o the_o precious_a from_o the_o vile_a ☜_o and_o therefore_o you_o come_v short_a when_o you_o will_v intimate_v there_o be_v nothing_o between_o you_o and_o we_o in_o point_n of_o the_o ministry_n but_o that_o our_o minister_n must_v seize_v from_o their_o outward_a temporal_a labour_n employment_n or_o trade_n for_o our_o minister_n have_v no_o false_a call_n upon_o they_o as_o you_o have_v which_o be_v a_o great_a gulf_n betwixt_o your_o

church_n that_o assembly_n and_o synod_n may_v judge_v and_o pass_v sentence_n upon_o our_o member_n as_o often_o as_o they_o see_v just_a ground_n but_o true_o mr._n edward_n this_o be_v to_o

have_v our_o minister_n grant_v they_o you_o may_v know_v that_o you_o do_v not_o go_v according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o scripture_n when_o you_o persuade_v the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o
