A89003	The difference about church government ended: by taking away the distinction of government into ecclesiasticall and civill: and proving the government of the civill magistrate onely sufficient in a Christian kingdom. / Written by one that by making peace, prefers to be called a blessed childe of God, before preeminence in this world. J.M. D. D. Published according to order.	Mayne, Jasper, 1604-1672.	1646 (1646)	Wing M1470; Thomason E339_8; ESTC R200855	12,314	20

this_o i_o shall_v add_v that_o as_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n to_o take_v all_o the_o government_n into_o his_o hand_n even_o in_o thing_n eclesiasticall_a as_o have_v be_v say_v so_o it_o be_v most_o expedient_a for_o we_o of_o the_o ministry_n that_o they_o shall_v so_o do_v because_o be_v exempt_a from_o this_o trouble_n we_o shall_v be_v the_o more_o free_a to_o prayer_n reading_z meditation_n preach_v and_o other_o holy_a office_n proper_o belong_v to_o our_o function_n that_o thus_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v appear_v from_o the_o reason_n give_v by_o the_o apostle_n why_o they_o will_v have_v deacon_n choose_v to_o be_v over_o matter_n concern_v the_o poor_a viz._n that_o they_o may_v whole_o give_v themselves_o to_o prayer_n and_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n act._n 6._o 4._o for_o if_o the_o preacher_n must_v not_o be_v trouble_v about_o matter_n of_o charity_n to_o gather_v and_o to_o distribute_v collection_n among_o the_o poor_a but_o some_o other_o of_o the_o congregation_n must_v have_v this_o office_n how_o much_o less_o ought_v he_o to_o be_v trouble_v by_o keep_v court_n at_o set_v time_n and_o hear_v and_o censure_v sin_n

those_o that_o hear_v he_o 2_o we_o shall_v be_v less_o liable_a to_o the_o enmity_n of_o the_o wicked_a who_o can_v be_v without_o a_o grudge_n against_o such_o as_o punish_v they_o as_o experience_n have_v teach_v in_o some_o other_o church_n wherein_o a_o roll_a power_n be_v commit_v to_o minister_n among_o other_o it_o be_v true_a indeed_o that_o a_o faithful_a preacher_n can_v avoid_v the_o hatred_n of_o the_o wicked_a for_o they_o hate_v christ_n and_o therefore_o will_v hate_v they_o yet_o because_o they_o can_v less_o end●re_a to_o be_v censure_v by_o they_o who_o they_o know_v by_o birth_n to_o be_v mean_a than_o themselves_o especial_o some_o of_o they_o it_o be_v more_o convenient_a that_o for_o this_o they_o shall_v be_v deal_v with_o by_o man_n of_o eminency_n in_o outward_a

for_o the_o like_a reason_n no_o godly_a man_n of_o mean_a quality_n in_o any_o congregation_n can_v convenient_o be_v set_v up_o as_o a_o ruler_n over_o other_o because_o so_o he_o shall_v become_v more_o subject_a to_o conterupt_v and_o derision_n and_o be_v make_v less_o able_a to_o do_v good_a among_o his_o neighbour_n in_o private_a by_o stir_v they_o up_o to_o love_n and_o good_a work_n

the_o preacher_n be_v but_o a_o man_n and_o yesterday_o as_o it_o be_v but_z a_o boy_n and_o the_o contemptible_a son_n of_o a_o man_n of_o low_a degree_n and_o every_o preacher_n not_o have_v grace_n
