teacher_n with_o excellent_a gift_n as_o you_o gran●_n it_o be_v not_o likely_a therefore_o they_o have_v but_o one_o congregation_n and_o if_o there_o be_v many_o it_o may_v as_o probable_o be_v

etc._n etc._n and_o beside_o i_o desire_v you_o will_v call_v to_o mind_n your_o own_o exposition_n of_o some_o of_o those_o text_n when_o it_o be_v say_v to_o the_o angel_n of_o such_o a_o church_n that_o be_v say_v the_o prelatical_a party_n to_o the_o bishop_n you_o answer_v angel_n be_v put_v for_o angel_n 49._o the_o way_n p._n 49._o a_o company_n of_o elder_n not_o a_o single_a person_n

many_o unto_o you_o and_o some_o of_o you_o etc._n etc._n whence_o these_o 3._o thing_n may_v be_v collect_v 1._o that_o the_o guilt_n be_v not_o impute_v to_o the_o whole_a church_n but_o to_o the_o angel_n of_o such_o a_o church_n that_o be_v say_v you_o the_o minister_n which_o quite_o destroy_v your_o argument_n 2._o that_o these_o minister_n be_v a_o whole_a presbytery_n the_o whole_a company_n of_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o church_n therefore_o it_o be_v very_o probable_a there_o be_v more_o congregation_n than_o one_o in_o each_o of_o those_o church_n and_o so_o we_o find_v presbyterial_a not_o independent_a church_n 3._o that_o the_o church_n be_v sometime_o take_v for_o the_o presbytery_n of_o the_o church_n which_o afore_o you_o have_v deny_v however_o i_o pray_v

call_v these_o angel_n which_o make_v it_o more_o than_o probable_a that_o it_o be_v speak_v to_o a_o presbyterial_a church_n the_o minister_n of_o several_a congregation_n even_o according_a to_o your_o own_o exposition_n at_o least_o to_o the_o presbytery_n of_o each_o congregation_n which_o confute_v your_o assertion_n that_o the_o brethren_n have_v any_o interest_n in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o key_n 4._o propos_fw-fr in_o case_n a_o particular_a church_n be_v disturb_v with_o error_n or_o scandal_n and_o the_o same_o maintain_v by_o a_o faction_n among_o they_o now_o a_o synod_n of_o church_n or_o of_o their_o messenger_n be_v the_o first_o subject_n of_o that_o power_n and_o authority_n whereby_o error_n be_v judicial_o convince_v and_o condemn_v the_o truth_n search_v out_o and_o determine_v and_o the_o way_n of_o truth_n and_o peace_n declare_v and_o impose_v upon_o the_o church_n this_o proposition_n you_o undertake_v to_o make_v good_a by_o two_o argument_n first_o from_o the_o want_n of_o power_n in_o such_o a_o church_n to_o pass_v a_o bind_a sentence_n because_o the_o promise_n of_o bind_v and_o lose_v be_v make_v to_o a_o church_n 1._o not_o err_v 2._o agree_a truth_n 18.17_o etc._n etc._n in_o answer_v hereunto_o i_o will_v not_o say_v that_o this_o argument_n prove_v not_o the_o proposition_n for_o it_o prove_v indeed_o that_o a_o particular_a church_n be_v not_o the_o first_o subject_n of_o this_o power_n and_o authority_n but_o it_o do_v not_o prove_v that_o a_o synod_n be_v but_o this_o i_o say_v that_o by_o this_o way_n of_o argue_v a_o church_n can_v seldom_o or_o never_o have_v power_n to_o bind_v or_o loose_v when_o there_o be_v not_o a_o universal_a agreement_n which_o how_o rare_o it_o happen_v experience_n tell_v we_o now_o and_o will_v do_v more_o hereafter_o in_o your_o own_o church_n few_o church_n there_o be_v that_o so_o walk_v together_o in_o peace_n and_o truth_n that_o there_o be_v no_o disagree_v party_n among_o they_o therefore_o that_o power_n be_v seldom_o in_o their_o hand_n but_o upon_o every_o difference_n or_o faction_n among_o they_o their_o power_n revert_v to_o a_o synod_n and_o so_o a_o synod_n must_v be_v call_v which_o be_v not_o easy_o do_v and_o trouble_v with_o every_o difference_n of_o a_o congregation_n which_o you_o impute_v unjust_o

as_o a_o fault_n upon_o the_o presbyterial_a way_n 2._o you_o have_v otherwise_o determine_v in_o the_o way_n suppose_v the_o whole_a presbytery_n be_v in_o a_o error_n or_o scandal_n as_o they_o may_v shall_v the_o faction_n now_o divest_v the_o brethren_n of_o their_o power_n and_o authority_n to_o censure_v and_o cast_v they_o out_o which_o you_o have_v full_o give_v they_o there_o and_o here_o do_v seem_v to_o take_v away_o 3._o you_o mitigate_v the_o business_n much_o when_o you_o say_v a_fw-la synod_n of_o church_n be_v the_o first_o subject_n of_o that_o power_n whereby_o error_n be_v convince_v etc._n etc._n and_o the_o way_n of_o ●ruth_n and_o peace_n declare_v and_o impose_v on_o the_o church_n for_o all_o this_o be_v only_o a_o doctrinal_a declaration_n and_o imposition_n not_o authoritative_o by_o way_n of_o jurisdiction_n the_o censure_n you_o reserve_v to_o the_o congregation_n where_o you_o have_v place_v it_o before_o but_o what_o if_o the_o synod_n of_o church_n err_v or_o disagree_v &_o there_o be_v a_o faction_n also_o among_o they_o you_o will_v know_v your_o own_o word_n a_o err_a or_o disagree_v church_n bind_v not_o so_o all_o will_v come_v to_o nothing_o the_o censure_n of_o the_o synod_n bind_v not_o for_o they_o can_v but_o declare_v what_o be_v truth_n the_o censure_n of_o the_o particular_a church_n bind_v not_o for_o they_o be_v in_o a_o faction_n so_o you_o give_v the_o brethren_n a_o power_n and_o present_o take_v it_o away_o again_o if_o then_o a_o considerable_a party_n fall_v into_o error_n or_o faction_n by_o variance_n they_o present_o lose_v like_o the_o bee_n her_o sting_n their_o power_n of_o bind_v and_o lose_v and_o if_o this_o be_v but_o once_o know_v as_o it_o can_v be_v hide_v how_o easy_a be_v it_o for_o any_o delinquent_n to_o make_v a_o party_n or_o faction_n and_o so_o escape_v all_o bind_a censure_n see_v neither_o the_o church_n err_v or_o at_o variance_n nor_o a_o synod_n have_v any_o bind_a power_n your_o second_o argument_n be_v from_o the_o pattern_n act_v 15.1_o etc._n etc._n when_o there_o grow_v error_n and_o faction_n in_o the_o church_n of_o antioch_n they_o determine_v not_o the_o case_n but_o refer_v it_o to_o the_o apostle_n and_o elder_n but_o first_o the_o church_n of_o jerusalem_n do_v only_o doctrinal_o declare_v the_o truth_n they_o do_v not_o censure_v the_o err_a brethren_n so_o you_o plead_v above_o but_o refer_v that_o to_o the_o church_n of_o antioch_n 2._o if_o declaration_n have_v be_v sufficient_a the_o church_n of_o antioch_n need_v not_o to_o have_v send_v so_o far_o as_o jerusalem_n paul_n and_o barnabas_n be_v able_a enough_o to_o declare_v the_o truth_n at_o home_n and_o so_o that_o particular_a church_n though_o err_a and_o at_o variance_n be_v the_o first_o subject_n of_o that_o power_n here_o give_v to_o a_o synod_n 3._o you_o mislay_v the_o comparison_n when_o you_o say_v as_o in_o the_o case_n of_o a_o offence_n of_o a_o faithful_a brother_n persist_v in_o the_o matter_n be_v at_o last_o judge_v in_o a_o church_n which_o be_v a_o congregation_n of_o the_o faithful_a so_o in_o the_o offence_n of_o a_o church_n the_o matter_n be_v at_o last_o judge_v in_o a_o congregation_n of_o church_n etc._n etc._n for_o the_o judgement_n be_v not_o of_o the_o same_o kind_n but_o you_o do_v mere_o aequivocate_v with_o we_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o church_n upon_o a_o brother_n be_v juridical_a even_o by_o way_n of_o censure_n of_o excommunication_n but_o the_o judgement_n of_o a_o synod_n be_v only_o doctrinal_a and_o declarative_a if_o you_o grant_v any_o more_o you_o and_o we_o be_v agree_v before_o i_o conclude_v this_o proposition_n i_o only_o animadvert_v these_o few_o thing_n 1._o that_o you_o grant_v the_o assembly_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o elder_n at_o jerusalem_n act_v 15.1_o to_o have_v be_v a_o formal_a synod_n wherein_o your_o disciple_n here_o do_v descent_n from_o you_o as_o appear_v in_o their_o epistle_n and_o call_v it_o only_o a_o consultation_n by_o way_n of_o arbitration_n to_o which_o arbitration_n it_o seem_v the_o church_n of_o antioch_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o stand_v for_o they_o do_v not_o for_o aught_o appear_v promise_v or_o bind_v themselves_o to_o stand_v to_o their_o arbitrement_n nor_o may_v they_o so_o bind_v themselves_o by_o your_o doctrine_n and_o they_o too_o for_o that_o be_v to_o give_v away_o their_o privilege_n purchase_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n 2._o you_o yield_v also_o 57_o the_o key_n p._n 57_o that_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o act_v herein_o as_o apostle_n and_o determine_v the_o matter_n by_o apostolical_a authority_n but_o as_o elder_n in_o a_o ordinary_a way_n as_o the_o whole_a proceed_n in_o the_o business_n prove_v as_o you_o well_o

church_n of_o many_o congregation_n last_o you_o say_v this_o pattern_n plain_o show_v to_o who_o the_o key_n of_o authority_n be_v commit_v when_o there_o grow_v offence_n and_o difference_n in_o a_o church_n but_o the_o key_n of_o authority_n if_o you_o remember_v what_o you_o say_v above_o have_v this_o power_n in_o it_o as_o to_o administer_v the_o seal_n so_o to_o bind_v a_o obstinate_a
