Being some animadversions upon a tract of Mr. I.C. called, The keyes of the kingdome of Heaven. As also upon another tract of his, called, The way of the churches of Nevv-England. Manifesting; 1.

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

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

be_v a_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n bind_v the_o more_o for_o the_o synod_n sake_n but_o the_o great_a scruple_n be_v 51._o to_o make_v their_o counsel_n the_o more_o weighty_a and_o acceptable_a but_o not_o to_o invest_v they_o with_o more_o rule_n or_o authority_n the_o way_n p_o 51._o what_o kind_n of_o authority_n this_o be_v whether_o it_o differ_v specifical_o from_o the_o power_n of_o a_o single_a pastor_n or_o of_o a_o congregationall_a presbytery_n or_o only_o gradual_o as_o a_o great_a testimony_n for_o so_o some_o of_o you_o understand_v it_o if_o in_o this_o latter_a sense_n i_o

to_o declare_v and_o command_v people_n what_o god_n command_v and_o declare_v to_o be_v his_o will_n with_o all_o authority_n and_o this_o seem_v to_o be_v your_o meaning_n for_o you_o say_v a_o truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n teach_v by_o a_o minister_n bind_v to_o faith_n and_o obedience_n not_o only_o because_o it_o be_v gospel_n but_o also_o because_o it_o be_v teach_v by_o a_o minister_n

congregation_n by_o way_n of_o a_o decree_n i_o ask_v what_o difference_n be_v there_o between_o this_o authority_n of_o they_o and_o the_o authority_n of_o any_o one_o of_o they_o single_a if_o you_o say_v none_o but_o gradual_a than_o i_o say_v they_o have_v no_o authority_n as_o a_o synod_n but_o as_o pastor_n if_o you_o say_v specifical_a that_o be_v juridical_a whereas_o a_o pastor_n be_v but_o doctrinal_a you_o yield_v the_o cause_n as_o we_o will_v have_v it_o but_o then_o they_o have_v a_o power_n not_o only_o of_o decree_a which_o one_o pastor_n have_v not_o but_o also_o of_o censure_v upon_o the_o disobedience_n of_o the_o people_n which_o you_o will_v not_o easy_o grant_v again_o i_o think_v you_o take_v the_o authority_n of_o a_o presbytery_n in_o a_o congregation_n to_o be_v a_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n and_o to_o differ_v not_o only_o gradual_o but_o specifical_o and_o the_o authority_n of_o a_o pastor_n or_o teacher_n or_o ruling-elders_a single_a now_o it_o may_v seem_v strange_a if_o a_o synod_n be_v a_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n as_o you_o grant_v that_o a_o single_a presbytery_n shall_v have_v a_o juridical_a authority_n to_o decree_v and_o censure_n and_o yet_o a_o synod_n which_o be_v a_o presbytery_n of_o presbytery_n shall_v have_v but_o only_o a_o doctrinal_a authority_n you_o may_v rather_o deny_v synod_n to_o be_v a_o ordinance_n of_o
