the_o twelve_o patriarch_n that_o like_o as_o the_o whole_a people_n of_o god_n under_o the_o law_n do_v proceed_v out_o of_o the_o loin_n of_o the_o twelve_o patriarch_n so_o also_o god_n child_n under_o the_o gospel_n shall_v be_v beget_v by_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o twelve_o apostle_n and_o their_o successor_n he_o choose_v also_o seventy_o disciple_n in_o analogy_n to_o the_o seventy_o

to_o be_v spiritual_a governor_n of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n under_o the_o gospel_n moreover_o christ_n fast_v forty_o day_n in_o the_o wilderness_n in_o reference_n to_o moses_n fast_v forty_o day_n upon_o mount_n sinai_n christ_n enter_v into_o his_o ministry_n in_o the_o thirty_o year_n of_o his_o age_n in_o similitude_n of_o the_o priest_n and_o levit_n enter_v in_o their_o several_a function_n so_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o probable_a in_o the_o scripture_n then_o that_o as_o christ_n by_o way_n of_o analogy_n do_v imitate_v the_o jew_n in_o many_o thing_n so_o also_o will_v he_o have_v as_o many_o degree_n of_o church_n governor_n under_o the_o gospel_n as_o there_o be_v under_o the_o law_n and_o that_o he_o will_v be_v chief_a governor_n himself_o of_o both_o church_n but_o that_o you_o may_v believe_v the_o truth_n of_o these_o thing_n the_o better_a i_o will_v let_v you_o see_v that_o the_o apostle_n also_o follow_v the_o example_n of_o their_o master_n in_o the_o imitation_n of_o the_o jew_n in_o many_o thing_n as_o in_o the_o use_n of_o lot_n conform_v to_o the_o ancient_a custom_n of_o the_o jew_n mathias_n be_v choose_v to_o be_v a_o apostle_n so_o also_o they_o continue_v the_o use_n of_o a_o holy_a kiss_n at_o their_o meeting_n yet_o if_o they_o have_v be_v as_o precise_a as_o many_o people_n now_o adays_o they_o will_v have_v abolish_v

also_o the_o use_n of_o love-feast_n proceed_v from_o the_o jew_n for_o as_o after_o their_o sacrifice_n they_o feast_v one_o another_o so_o after_o the_o celebration_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n they_o have_v their_o agapae_n and_o love-feast_n which_o the_o apostle_n paul_n do_v not_o discharge_v but_o forbid_v they_o in_o public_a and_o licentiate_n they_o in_o their_o own_o private_a

be_v ever_o a_o festival_n day_n to_o they_o but_o not_o a_o day_n of_o fast_v as_o it_o be_v with_o many_o now_o so_o also_o the_o custom_n of_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n be_v borrow_v from_o the_o jew_n numb_a 8._o in_o these_o and_o some_o other_o form_n and_o ceremony_n the_o apostle_n do_v imitate_v the_o nation_n of_o the_o jew_n but_o let_v these_o serve_v for_o a_o example_n the_o primitive_a church_n also_o follow_v the_o example_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n in_o this_o analogize_n and_o in_o particular_a as_o in_o the_o consecration_n of_o priest_n some_o piece_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n be_v put_v in_o the_o priest_n hand_n exod._n 29.9_o even_o so_o they_o put_v the_o bible_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o minister_n at_o his_o ordination_n this_o be_v do_v

there_o they_o build_v a_o mother-church_n and_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o church_n of_o the_o diocese_n be_v but_o pendicles_a of_o she_o as_o the_o jewish_a synagogue_n be_v to_o the_o temple_n of_o jerusalem_n yea_o &_o these_o mother-churche_n they_o build_v they_o according_a to_o the_o similitude_n of_o the_o temple_n of_o jerusalem_n for_o as_o the_o temple_n have_v the_o most_o holy_a place_n holy_a place_n and_o atrium_n call_v the_o court_n of_o the_o temple_n or_o sal._n porch_n this_o for_o the_o people_n the_o holy_a place_n for_o the_o priest_n and_o the_o most_o holy_a

even_o so_o in_o the_o christian_a church_n there_o be_v a_o place_n appoint_v for_o the_o people_n another_o for_o churchman_n the_o three_o as_o the_o most_o holy_a place_n where_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o supper_n be_v celebrate_v as_o the_o only_a memorial_n of_o his_o presence_n leave_v by_o himself_o under_o the_o new_a testament_n as_o the_o ark_n of_o the_o covenant_n be_v under_o the_o old_a so_o then_o since_o both_o the_o apostle_n and_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o primitive_a time_n do_v imitate_v the_o jewish_a form_n by_o way_n of_o analogy_n it_o seem_v to_o i_o that_o in_o so_o do_v they_o follow_v the_o example_n of_o christ_n who_o keep_v a_o analogy_n himself_o with_o the_o jewish_a church_n in_o many_o thing_n but_o in_o special_a in_o the_o number_n and_o degree_n of_o church_n governor_n now_o i_o will_v ask_v my_o author_n by_o what_o reason_n he_o think_v christ_n shall_v have_v diminish_v the_o number_n of_o church_n governor_n be_v the_o number_n of_o three_o typical_a or_o be_v the_o church_n government_n typical_a true_o neither_o the_o number_n of_o three_o be_v mystical_a indeed_o but_o not_o typical_a neither_o be_v the_o government_n typical_a but_o as_o necessary_a now_o under_o the_o gospel_n as_o it_o be_v under_o the_o law_n for_o as_o christ_n do_v not_o govern_v his_o church_n immediate_o by_o his_o spirit_n under_o the_o law_n so_o no_o more_o do_v he_o govern_v his_o church_n immediate_o by_o his_o spirit_n under_o the_o gospel_n but_o as_o he_o commit_v the_o government_n to_o certain_a governor_n under_o the_o law_n so_o have_v he_o commit_v it_o to_o certain_a governor_n under_o the_o gospel_n but_o it_o may_v be_v answer_v that_o he_o have_v not_o commit_v it_o to_o so_o many_o degree_n of_o church_n governor_n now_o under_o the_o gospel_n as_o he_o do_v under_o the_o law_n i_o persuade_v myself_o that_o my_o opponent_n shall_v never_o be_v able_a to_o prove_v that_o christ_n behove_v to_o do_v this_o de_fw-fr jure_fw-la or_o show_v i_o a_o reason_n why_o it_o behove_v to_o be_v so_o yes_o he_o will_v say_v of_o necessity_n the_o first_o degree_n behove_v to_o be_v take_v away_o because_o the_o high_a priest_n be_v a_o type_n and_o figure_n of_o christ_n and_o all_o type_n and_o figure_n be_v abolish_v by_o christ_n come_v reply_v i_o grant_v all_o type_n and_o figure_n be_v abolish_v by_o christ_n come_v but_o i_o deny_v that_o the_o high_a priest_n be_v a_o type_n and_o figure_n of_o christ_n as_o he_o be_v chief_a governor_n of_o the_o church_n and_o that_o for_o these_o reason_n first_o because_o then_o all_o church_n government_n shall_v have_v be_v abrogate_a by_o christ_n come_n for_o if_o aaron_n government_n be_v a_o type_n and_o figure_n of_o christ_n government_n than_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o christ_n now_o under_o the_o gospel_n shall_v govern_v his_o church_n immediate_o by_o himself_o without_o any_o subordinate_a governor_n for_o if_o church_n government_n under_o the_o law_n be_v typical_a and_o all_o type_n abrogate_v it_o follow_v necessary_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o church_n government_n now_o but_o christ_n only_a second_o if_o aaron_n as_o he_o be_v chief_a governor_n under_o the_o law_n be_v a_o type_n and_o figure_n of_o christ_n than_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o christ_n be_v not_o supreme_a governor_n

of_o god_n most_o abundant_o bestow_v upon_o his_o servant_n under_o the_o gospel_n there_o be_v but_o one_o place_n in_o all_o the_o new_a testament_n that_o seem_v to_o oppose_v the_o doctrine_n i_o have_v deliver_v viz_o the_o word_n of_o our_o saviour_n mat._n 20.25_o the_o lord_n of_o the_o gentile_n say_v he_o have_v dominion_n over_o they_o and_o they_o that_o be_v great_a exercise_n

that_o will_v but_o take_v a_o strict_a view_n of_o the_o word_n for_o first_o you_o see_v christ_n forbid_v such_o domination_n as_o the_o lord_n of_o the_o gentile_n exercise_v towards_o their_o inferior_n and_o not_o that_o moderate_a and_o lawful_a power_n exercise_v by_o churchman_n under_o the_o law_n for_o if_o christ_n have_v mean_v of_o the_o priestly_a jurisdiction_n he●_n will_v have_v say_v out_o of_o all_o question_n i_o will_v not_o have_v degree_n and_o rank_n among_o you_o one_o above_o another_o as_o it_o be_v between_o the_o high_a priest_n in_o feriour_a priest_n and_o levit_n no_o i_o will_v have_v you_o all_o of_o alike_a power_n and_o authority_n again_o our_o saviour_n say_v that_o they_o that_o be_v great_a exercise_n authority_n over_o their_o subject_n that_o be_v great_a and_o mighty_a man_n proud_a man_n they_o domineer_v over_o their_o inferior_n and_o make_v slave_n of_o they_o but_o say_v our_o saviour_n it_o must_v not_o be_v so_o among_o you_o you_o must_v not_o domineer_v in_o that_o kind_n but_o he_o say_v he_o that_o will_v be_v great_a among_o you_o let_v he_o be_v servant_n to_o the_o rest_n that_o be_v let_v he_o so_o demean_v himself_o that_o you_o may_v be_v defend_v maintain_v protect_v and_o care_v for_o both_o in_o soul_n and_o body_n so_o that_o in_o my_o judgement_n these_o word_n do_v necessary_o imply_v a_o superiority_n and_o that_o not_o in_o dignity_n but_o in_o all_o authority_n power_n and_o jurisdiction_n lawful_a and_o laudable_a and_o therefore_o this_o text_n be_v never_o use_v by_o any_o divine_a but_o against_o the_o tyrannical_a power_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o the_o pope_n usurp_a authority_n who_o take_v upon_o he_o to_o depose_v king_n and_o translate_v kingdom_n and_o tyrannize_v over_o man_n conscience_n will_v to_o god_n that_o such_o do_n might_n not_o also_o be_v lay_v to_o the_o charge_n of_o some_o other_o who_o pretend_v great_a humility_n and_o loyalty_n moreover_o we_o see_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n that_o the_o apostle_n do_v no●_n denude_v themselves_o of_o all_o civil_a employment_n for_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o many_o fold_v

according_a to_o every_o one_o necessity_n s●_n that_o it_o will_v seem_v that_o the_o civil_a power_n of_o churchman_n be_v not_o altogether_o unlawful_a true_o in_o my_o judgement_n it_o be_v as_o unlawful_a for_o a_o minister_n to_o take_v the_o charge_n of_o a_o house_n and_o family_n for_o it_o carry_v with_o it_o as_o great_a distraction_n yea_o more_o worldly_a encumbrance_n more_o

between_o brother_n and_o brother_n well_o calvin_n and_o beza_n both_o think_v it_o not_o unlawful_a to_o be_v chief_a counsellor_n of_o geneva_n &_o that_o mirror_n of_o religion_n &_o learning_n
