the_o moderate_a presbyterian_a london_n the_o three_o of_o april_n 1662._o sir_n the_o time_n be_v now_o quiet_a for_o the_o matter_n of_o news_n from_o this_o place_n only_o that_o you_o may_v know_v that_o i_o be_o not_o unmindful_a of_o my_o duty_n to_o you_o i_o have_v send_v to_o you_o the_o copy_n of_o a_o eminent_a presbyterian_n answer_n make_v to_o a_o queree_n propose_v to_o he_o by_o another_o more_o rigid_a presbyterian_a whether_o or_o not_o the_o re-ordaining_a of_o such_o presbyterian_a divine_n here_o as_o be_v afterward_o to_o be_v consecrate_v bishop_n be_v not_o scandalous_a to_o the_o presbyterian_a reform_a church_n abroad_o and_o a_o direct_a disclaim_n of_o communion_n with_o they_o you_o will_v find_v the_o answer_n mild_a enough_o which_o take_v as_o follow_v sir_n it_o be_v well_o know_v to_o all_o those_o especial_o divine_v of_o the_o reform_a church_n with_o who_o i_o have_v have_v the_o happiness_n to_o converse_v both_o at_o home_n and_o abroad_o that_o in_o my_o private_a opinion_n i_o be_v never_o too_o rigid_a in_o matter_n of_o ecclesiastical_a government_n either_o for_o episcopacy_n or_o presbyterianisme_n for_o as_o have_v spend_v the_o great_a part_n of_o my_o year_n in_o foreign_a country_n under_o the_o latter_a it_o seem_v smooth_a to_o i_o so_o the_o continual_a practice_n of_o the_o former_a in_o the_o christian_a church_n from_o the_o very_a foundation_n of_o it_o in_o the_o apostle_n time_n make_v it_o always_o seem_v venerable_a to_o i_o and_o to_o draw_v somewhat_o near_o even_o to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n yet_o dare_v i_o never_o presume_v in_o my_o own_o mind_n that_o either_o the_o one_o or_o the_o other_o be_v absolute_o jure_fw-la divino_fw-la but_o i_o ever_o think_v that_o with_o a_o good_a conscience_n i_o may_v live_v under_o either_o of_o they_o one_o thing_n i_o know_v well_o that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n forbid_v do_v all_o confusion_n in_o the_o church_n ●nd_n commend_v ecclesiastical_a government_n in_o general_a but_o to_o determine_v this_o or_o that_o kind_n of_o government_n in_o particular_a i_o think_v there_o be_v a_o latitude_n leave_v to_o the_o supreme_a magistrate_n so_o that_o admit_v neither_o episcopacy_n nor_o presbyterianisme_n in_o themselves_o simple_o consider_v to_o be_v jure_fw-la divino_fw-la yet_o either_o of_o they_o be_v establish_v jure_fw-la humano_fw-la or_o by_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n must_v be_v receive_v by_o i_o and_o submit_v unto_o as_o be_v in_o that_o case_n jure_fw-la divino_fw-la see_v that_o jue_n divinum_fw-la in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n tie_v all_o subject_n to_o render_v active_a obedience_n to_o jus_fw-la humanum_fw-la and_o lawful_a authority_n in_o these_o thing_n whereby_o the_o esteem_n of_o religion_n and_o fundamental_o of_o faith_n be_v not_o shake_v and_o such_o may_v episcopacy_n and_o presbyterianisme_n be_v conceive_v to_o be_v and_o whosoever_o resufe_v to_o submit_v to_o either_o of_o they_o be_v establish_v by_o authority_n must_v be_v not_o only_o a_o rebel_n to_o the_o supreme_a power_n upon_o earth_n but_o to_o god_n himself_o also_o now_o to_o answer_v your_o long_a question_n in_o few_o word_n let_v i_o entreat_v you_o to_o distinguish_v betwixt_o a_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n simpliciter_fw-la quatalis_fw-la and_o a_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o potentia_fw-la proxima_fw-la to_o be_v a_o bishop_n albeit_o presbyterian_a ordination_n may_v make_v a_o qualify_a person_n a_o lawful_a minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n yet_o in_o my_o weak_a judgement_n to_o put_v he_o in_o potentia_fw-la proxima_fw-la to_o be_v a_o bishop_n episcopal_a ordination_n if_o not_o necessary_a ad_fw-la esse_fw-la yet_o requisita_fw-la ad_fw-la decorum_n &_o ad_fw-la bene_fw-la esse_fw-la hence_o may_v be_v infer_v that_o by_o the_o re-ordaining_a of_o or_o confer_v episcopal_a ordination_n upon_o presbyterian_a divine_n to_o put_v they_o in_o a_o capacity_n to_o be_v bishop_n as_o no_o scandal_n be_v just_o give_v by_o the_o english_a bishop_n to_o the_o presbyterian_a church_n in_o foreign_a country_n so_o i_o be_o confident_a as_o be_v thorough_o acquaint_v with_o the_o opinion_n in_o that_o point_n of_o many_o of_o the_o most_o learned_a and_o eminent_a among_o they_o that_o no_o occasion_n of_o scandal_n will_v be_v take_v by_o they_o at_o the_o same_o far_o less_o that_o they_o will_v think_v that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n which_o they_o ever_o hold_v and_o still_o do_v hold_v as_o it_o be_v constitute_v in_o the_o day_n of_o queen_n elizabeth_n king_n james_z and_o king_n charles_n the_o first_o all_o of_o bless_a memory_n to_o have_v be_v a_o glorious_a orthodox_n church_n do_v thereby_o intend_v to_o disclaim_v communion_n with_o they_o their_o maxim_n and_o principle_n both_o of_o divinity_n and_o policy_n for_o they_o never_o esteem_v bad_a policy_n to_o be_v consistent_a with_o good_a divinity_n be_v more_o consonant_a to_o these_o of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n constitue_v as_o say_v be_v then_o to_o those_o according_a to_o which_o the_o presbyterian_o in_o these_o kingdom_n have_v walk_v these_o three_o and_o twenty_o year_n bygone_a but_o i_o forbear_v now_o to_o enter_v upon_o this_o point_n their_o new_a doctrine_n and_o the_o woeful_a effect_n that_o have_v follow_v thereupon_o do_v sufficient_o evidence_n the_o truth_n of_o it_o to_o the_o world_n
