baptize_v of_o he_o yea_o among_o the_o pharisce_n there_o be_v those_o that_o touch_v the_o righteousness_n which_o be_v in_o the_o law_n be_v unrebukeable_a 6._o they_o be_v as_o it_o appear_v most_o of_o they_o levites_n open_o call_v and_o authorise_v to_o preach_v by_o the_o elder_n and_o people_n in_o the_o synagognes_n and_o sure_o that_o it_o be_v but_o a_o vain_a exception_n which_o master_n cartwright_n make_v of_o the_o high_a priest_n 28._o that_o he_o be_v make_v a_o yearly_a officer_n and_o come_v in_o by_o simony_n into_o his_o office_n for_o eleazar_n be_v make_v high_a priest_n while_o aaron_n the_o high_a priest_n yet_o live_v 35._o and_o zadok_n be_v make_v high_a priest_n 42._o and_o abiathar_n and_o his_o son_n put_v from_o the_o priesthood_n 30._o when_o as_o yet_o the_o covenant_n of_o the_o priesthood_n pertain_v by_o the_o law_n unto_o abiathar_n and_o his_o house_n but_o necessity_n and_o just_a occasion_n do_v oftentimes_o make_v change_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n and_o yet_o no_o corruption_n nor_o abuse_n come_v thereby_o wherefore_o for_o answer_v i_o say_v that_o the_o priesthood_n be_v not_o make_v a_o yearly_a office_n but_o that_o by_o course_n every_o year_n two_o priest_n do_v execute_v the_o office_n and_o this_o seem_v to_o be_v tolerable_a by_o the_o law_n see_v that_o if_o one_o priest_n shall_v be_v sick_a or_o let_v by_o some_o great_a occafion_n the_o other_o may_v be_v in_o his_o stead_n as_o we_o show_v before_o that_o eeleazar_n be_v choose_v high_a priest_n 13._o while_o aaron_n yet_o live_v and_o zadok_v in_o abiathars_n stead_n and_o yet_o be_v there_o not_o two_o high_a priest_n in_o the_o office_n at_o once_o but_o only_o one_o at_o once_o be_v to_o execute_v the_o office_n also_o there_o seem_v to_o be_v much_o doubt_n and_o controversy_n to_o which_o of_o the_o priest_n the_o priesthood_n do_v belong_v as_o also_o we_o may_v read_v in_o josephus_n and_o therefore_o two_o chief_o stand_v for_o it_o there_o be_v two_o choose_v to_o it_o and_o because_o the_o law_n of_o god_n do_v not_o suffer_v two_o at_o once_o to_o be_v in_o the_o office_n they_o do_v succeed_v one_o another_o in_o the_o execution_n of_o the_o office_n again_o see_v they_o be_v of_o the_o son_n of_o aaron_n and_o call_v after_o the_o order_n of_o aaron_n 4._o no_o doubt_n their_o call_n be_v lawful_a and_o good_a otherwise_o if_o any_o at_o that_o time_n have_v be_v lawful_a high_a priest_n and_o yet_o not_o lawful_o call_v as_o be_v aaron_n than_o the_o apostle_n will_v not_o have_v set_v down_o this_o for_o a_o general_a truth_n that_o no_o man_n take_v this_o honour_n unto_o himself_o but_o he_o that_o be_v call_v of_o god_n as_o be_v aaron_n neither_o let_v he_o here_o shift_v off_o our_o answer_n by_o his_o fond_a distinction_n of_o the_o essence_n of_o a_o priest_n and_o of_o a_o lawful_a priest_n which_o before_o be_v refute_v as_o for_o simony_n wherewith_o he_o charge_v the_o high_a priest_n he_o can_v not_o prove_v it_o against_o they_o for_o if_o the_o roman_n overrule_a they_o do_v grievous_o exact_v their_o tribute_n and_o payment_n both_o of_o christ_n himself_o 〈◊〉_d as_o we_o may_v read_v in_o matth_n and_o of_o the_o high_a priest_n it_o be_v no_o more_o simony_n in_o the_o priest_n than_o it_o be_v in_o christ_n to_o pay_v they_o their_o exaction_n for_o the_o priesthood_n be_v their_o right_n see_v it_o pertain_v unto_o they_o be_v the_o son_n of_o aaron_n yet_o can_v not_o master_n cartwright_n prove_v that_o they_o pay_v any_o money_n when_o they_o take_v their_o right_n or_o if_o they_o do_v that_o they_o thereby_o buy_v their_o right_n and_o not_o rather_o pay_v a_o exaction_n which_o the_o roman_n demand_v when_o they_o take_v their_o right_n but_o suppose_v that_o secret_o they_o give_v bribe_n to_o the_o roman_n &_o deal_v by_o simony_n yet_o that_o be_v hide_v and_o not_o manifest_a to_o the_o people_n they_o be_v to_o be_v take_v of_o man_n as_o lawful_o call_v to_o that_o office_n for_o if_o the_o law_n and_o common_a tribute_n exact_v money_n of_o they_o they_o may_v pay_v it_o as_o well_o as_o christ._n if_o the_o officer_n do_v exact_v any_o beside_o law_n they_o do_v it_o secret_o lest_o they_o themselves_o shall_v be_v condemn_v by_o law_n and_o so_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o no_o simony_n can_v be_v lay_v to_o their_o charge_n and_o therefore_o no_o marvel_n though_o christ_n bid_v the_o man_n show_v himself_o to_o the_o high_a priest_n for_o before_o the_o high_a priest_n become_v open_a persecuter_n there_o be_v a_o lawful_a communion_n to_o be_v have_v with_o they_o but_o this_o communion_n be_v afterward_o break_v and_o make_v unlawful_a through_o their_o open_a wickedness_n also_o it_o be_v false_a which_o master_n cartwright_n say_v that_o christ_n do_v reverence_v the_o high_a priest_n 2d_o and_o give_v he_o account_n of_o his_o doctrine_n for_o he_o give_v he_o no_o account_n and_o answer_v he_o so_o roundly_o that_o one_o of_o the_o officer_n which_o stand_v by_o smite_v he_o with_o a_o rod_n also_o his_o answer_n be_v false_a concern_v that_o place_n in_o hoshea_n 6._o that_o the_o lord_n will_v refuse_v the_o priest_n for_o be_v any_o more_o his_o priest_n see_v they_o be_v without_o knowledge_n of_o which_o word_n he_o say_v that_o the_o prophet_n rather_o give_v a_o rule_n to_o be_v follow_v in_o their_o election_n or_o deposition_n then_o how_o far_o they_o may_v be_v use_v nay_o the_o prophet_n there_o speak_v nothing_o of_o elect_v they_o or_o depose_v they_o by_o man_n but_o rather_o of_o the_o plague_n or_o destruction_n that_o shall_v come_v upon_o they_o yea_o he_o show_v that_o through_o the_o ignorance_n of_o the_o priest_n all_o wickedness_n and_o idolatry_n reign_v 9_o and_o therefore_o he_o say_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v like_o people_n like_o priest_n mean_v that_o they_o shall_v have_v a_o like_a destruction_n now_o master_n cartwright_n dare_v not_o say_v that_o all_o abominable_a wickedness_n and_o idolatry_n reign_v and_o the_o priest_n themselves_o be_v wicked_a idolater_n i_o say_v he_o dare_v not_o affirm_v that_o they_o hold_v the_o covenant_n or_o be_v the_o people_n or_o church_n of_o god_n for_o before_o he_o have_v say_v the_o contrary_n and_o how_o then_o dare_v he_o say_v that_o such_o priest_n be_v yet_o priest_n unto_o god_n and_o be_v not_o depose_v from_o their_o priesthood_n when_o as_o their_o own_o wickedness_n and_o idolatry_n do_v depose_v they_o for_o that_o whole_a chapter_n of_o hoshea_n be_v altogether_o against_o their_o wickedness_n and_o idolatry_n and_o let_v m._n c._n know_v that_o our_o open_a gross_a sin_n &_o abuse_n be_v not_o curable_a by_o the_o discipline_n of_o the_o church_n be_v as_o evil_a as_o idolatry_n as_o samuel_n the_o prophet_n do_v witness_v 23._o say_v that_o rebellion_n be_v as_o the_o sin_n of_o witchcraft_n and_o transgression_n he_o mean_v transgression_n which_o be_v stand_v in_o and_o will_v not_o be_v mend_v be_v wickedness_n &_o idolatry_n but_o this_o matter_n be_v make_v manifest_a before_o now_o follow_v the_o last_o part_n of_o his_o letter_n &_o the_o last_o matter_n in_o controversy_n as_o whether_o by_o communicate_v with_o a_o read_n minister_n we_o do_v communicate_v with_o their_o impiety_n &_o establish_v their_o ministry_n m._n c._n herein_o do_v more_o shameful_o err_v then_o if_o he_o shall_v with_o the_o bishop_n altogether_o justify_v such_o read_a minister_n for_o he_o may_v better_o say_v they_o be_v lawful_a minister_n and_o that_o their_o ministry_n be_v lawful_a then_o that_o he_o shall_v confess_v they_o to_o be_v unlawful_a minister_n &_o yet_o justify_v that_o we_o may_v receive_v they_o as_o have_v the_o essence_n and_o substance_n of_o minister_n and_o partake_v in_o their_o wicked_a ministry_n without_o impiety_n or_o establish_v their_o but_o he_o may_v plain_o see_v except_o his_o eye_n of_o understanding_n be_v utter_o darken_v that_o if_o any_o do_v usurp_v as_o traitor_n against_o her_o majesty_n than_o they_o also_o that_o come_v under_o their_o usurp_a rule_n and_o government_n be_v once_o free_a from_o it_o be_v also_o traitor_n together_o with_o they_o so_o likewise_o those_o man_n usurp_v a_o ministry_n which_o christ_n never_o give_v they_o neither_o sanctify_a to_o be_v in_o his_o church_n both_o they_o do_v wicked_o and_o they_o also_o that_o will_v come_v under_o their_o ministry_n do_v establish_v their_o wicked_a ministry_n and_o partake_v with_o they_o in_o their_o impiety_n if_o a_o man_n of_o the_o wind_n say_v the_o prophet_n and_o false_a fellow_n do_v he_o say_v 11._o i_o will_v prophesy_v unto_o you_o of_o wine_n and_o of_o strong_a drink_n he_o shall_v even_o be_v the_o

good_a thing_n they_o offer_v unto_o we_o that_o i_o suppose_v i_o may_v not_o well_o yield_v unto_o the_o ground_n hereof_o i_o take_v from_o the_o former_a part_n of_o my_o answer_n that_o for_o so_o much_o as_o they_o be_v allow_v by_o the_o church_n of_o god_n they_o ought_v until_o remedy_n may_v be_v find_v of_o so_o great_a disorder_n to_o be_v hear_v and_o receive_v so_o far_o as_o they_o can_v give_v we_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v of_o christ_n and_o for_o this_o cause_n our_o saviour_n christ_n command_v that_o the_o scribe_n shall_v be_v hear_v in_o that_o they_o teach_v true_o 2._o which_o honour_n our_o saviour_n christ_n will_v never_o have_v give_v unto_o they_o unless_o the_o church_n call_v have_v move_v he_o thereunto_o 〈◊〉_d have_v it_o be_v lawful_a for_o the_o people_n otherwise_o to_o have_v hear_v they_o for_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o their_o unfitnesse_n and_o unlawfulnesse_n in_o the_o ministry_n although_o another_o way_n be_v as_o great_a as_o it_o be_v in_o our_o read_n minister_v they_o be_v all_o together_o deceive_v in_o the_o messiah_n for_o neither_o know_v they_o that_o jesus_n be_v the_o christ_n nor_o yet_o that_o the_o christ_n who_o they_o look_v for_o shall_v be_v the_o soon_o of_o god_n 22._o but_o hold_v he_o for_o a_o bare_a &_o nakedman_n 42._o it_o appear_v also_o that_o they_o teach_v the_o justification_n which_o be_v by_o the_o law_n of_o work_n not_o only_o in_o the_o eighteen_o of_o luke_n but_o even_o the_o very_a self_n same_o place_n where_o our_o saviour_n command_v this_o audience_n unto_o they_o for_o speak_v of_o the_o work_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n which_o they_o will_v not_o touch_v with_o one_o of_o their_o finger_n he_o say_v that_o they_o lay_v they_o upon_o the_o people_n back_n as_o burden_n which_o can_v not_o be_v bear_v whereby_o our_o saviour_n beside_o the_o pharisticall_a pride_n and_o lordlinesse_n in_o teach_v signify_v that_o they_o teach_v they_o to_o justification_n see_v that_o if_o they_o have_v only_o teach_v they_o as_o testimony_n and_o fruit_n of_o faith_n they_o have_v not_o be_v untollerable_a but_o as_o our_o saviour_n say_v a_o easy_a yoke_n and_o as_o saint_n john_n say_v 5._o not_o grievous_a or_o heavy_a now_o the_o dumb_a ministry_n be_v not_o far_o off_o from_o the_o institution_n of_o a_o lawful_a ministry_n 11._o then_o to_o teach_v untrue_o in_o the_o chief_a ground_n of_o religion_n neither_o be_v the_o edify_n of_o the_o church_n respect_v in_o make_v law_n for_o the_o ministry_n less_o hinder_v by_o a_o ministry_n teach_v false_a thing_n and_o that_o in_o so_o weighty_a point_n as_o by_o a_o unpreach_a minister_n and_o according_a to_o this_o say_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n we_o may_v see_v what_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o prophet_n have_v be_v before_o who_o although_o they_o have_v oftentimes_o to_o do_v both_o with_o false_a teacher_n and_o priest_n that_o dumb_a dog_n and_o not_o able_a to_o bark_v 58._o yet_o give_v the_o people_n warning_n of_o their_o corruption_n and_o insufficientnesse_n threaten_v also_o the_o cast_v they_o from_o the_o ministry_n in_o the_o good_a time_n when_o the_o lord_n shall_v have_v pity_n on_o his_o church_n they_o be_v never_o find_v to_o have_v forbid_v the_o people_n to_o come_v to_o their_o sacrifice_n or_o to_o bring_v their_o sacrifice_n command_v by_o the_o law_n unto_o they_o yea_o our_o saviour_n that_o live_v in_o the_o corrupte_v time_n of_o the_o church_n and_o when_o thing_n be_v most_o confuse_a and_o few_o step_n of_o any_o lawful_a calling_n to_o be_v

notwithstanding_o we_o see_v our_o saviour_n bear_v he_o reverence_v for_o his_o office_n sake_n and_o as_o before_o his_o judge_n in_o spiritual_a cause_n give_v a_o account_n of_o his_o doctrine_n we_o have_v another_o example_n of_o reverence_n unto_o such_o ruler_n even_o in_o thing_n that_o be_v do_v by_o they_o wrongeful_o 36._o for_o jeremie_n be_v as_o it_o appear_v suspend_v for_o a_o

it_o be_v of_o the_o substance_n of_o a_o good_a &_o lawful_a minister_n of_o god_n but_o not_o simple_o of_o a_o minister_n whereunto_o it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o have_v the_o church_n call_v as_o it_o be_v of_o the_o substance_n rather_o of_o a_o lawful_a magistrate_n to_o be_v able_a to_o judge_v between_o his_o subject_n then_o simple_o of_o a_o magistrate_n who_o the_o election_n of_o the_o
