head_n when_o that_o article_n be_v put_v in_o the_o creed_n i_o believe_v the_o catholic_n church_n i_o will_v ask_v the_o doctor_n whether_o this_o distinction_n of_o visible_a and_o invisible_a be_v use_v in_o the_o world_n and_o if_o it_o be_v not_o when_o it_o arise_v it_o can_v not_o take_v off_o any_o thing_n of_o christ_n headship_n when_o both_o visible_a and_o invisible_a be_v but_o one_o he_o must_v be_v head_n of_o both_o again_o there_o be_v some_o learned_a man_n deny_v a_o catholic_n church_n visible_a the_o doctor_n do_v hold_v it_o and_o what_o if_o they_o shall_v advance_v against_o he_o this_o argument_n if_o there_o be_v no_o catholic_n visible_a head_n there_o be_v no_o catholic_n church_n visible_a but_o there_o be_v no_o catholic_n visible_a head_n the_o minor_a be_v the_o doctor_n and_o the_o major_n be_v to_o be_v deny_v of_o no_o other_o but_o the_o doctor_n let_v we_o proceed_v to_o the_o bottom_n we_o have_v sound_v the_o doctor_n invention_n let_v we_o try_v his_o reason_n there_o be_v no_o necessity_n of_o such_o a_o head_n say_v he_o for_o a_o national_a consent_n be_v as_o sufficient_a to_o make_v a_o national_a church_n as_o a_o universal_a consent_n to_o make_v a_o catholic_n church_n this_o be_v the_o doctor_n reason_n it_o be_v consent_v alone_o make_v a_o church_n or_o society_n though_o it_o have_v no_o head_n the_o consent_n of_o a_o nation_n make_v a_o national_a church_n the_o consent_n of_o all_o christian_n the_o catholic_n church_n the_o consent_n of_o a_o particular_a company_n a_o particular_a church_n or_o congregation_n this_o be_v his_o bottom_n and_o it_o be_v something_o but_o exceed_v raw_o speak_v let_v we_o understand_v therefore_o where_o there_o be_v a_o company_n of_o person_n who_o have_v no_o power_n one_o over_o another_o that_o may_v receive_v mutual_a advantage_n if_o unite_v to_o that_o end_n such_o a_o company_n be_v call_v a_o community_n if_o they_o agree_v together_o for_o the_o obtainment_n of_o that_o end_n to_o come_v into_o a_o order_n of_o superiority_n and_o inferiority_n that_o make_v it_o a_o society_n or_o political_a body_n if_o the_o end_n be_v for_o that_o good_a which_o be_v only_o temporal_a it_o be_v call_v a_o commonwealth_n if_o for_o that_o which_o be_v spiritual_a it_o be_v a_o church_n the_o doctor_n now_o be_v to_o be_v ask_v what_o consent_v it_o be_v that_o he_o mean_v if_o he_o mean_v by_o his_o consent_n the_o agreement_n which_o people_n make_v at_o first_o when_o they_o enter_v into_o society_n it_o be_v true_a that_o their_o consent_n be_v the_o foundation_n but_o the_o doctor_n here_o i_o hope_n do_v see_v that_o this_o consent_n be_v for_o the_o have_v a_o head_n and_o government_n and_o the_o pitch_v upon_o the_o sort_n or_o manner_n of_o the_o government_n they_o will_v have_v which_o agreement_n be_v call_v the_o constitution_n it_o be_v not_o this_o consent_n therefore_o the_o doctor_n shall_v mean_v which_o be_v not_o also_o applicable_a to_o the_o catholic_n church_n in_o which_o he_o instance_n who_o head_n and_o government_n be_v not_o of_o man_n election_n but_o of_o the_o will_n of_o god_n only_o by_o the_o way_n for_o the_o national_a church_n it_o be_v true_a that_o particular_a church_n in_o a_o nation_n be_v of_o divine_a appointment_n the_o pastor_n or_o minister_n who_o have_v the_o rule_n over_o their_o flock_n in_o actu_fw-la primo_fw-la that_o be_v the_o right_a of_o discipline_n and_o censure_n may_v agree_v to_o a_o delegate_a that_o power_n in_o actu_fw-la

archbishop_n bishop_n and_o clerk_n choose_v out_o of_o themselves_o meet_v in_o a_o convocation_n shall_v have_v the_o power_n of_o make_v law_n or_o canon_n by_o which_o they_o will_v be_v govern_v upon_o such_o a_o consent_n as_o this_o here_o appear_v a_o political_a national_a church_n in_o the_o constitution_n wherein_o be_v a_o ecclesiastical_a formal_a constitutive_a regent_n part_n or_o

of_o the_o community_n the_o regent_n part_v here_o be_v place_v not_o in_o one_o person_n which_o do_v not_o need_n but_o in_o one_o corporation_n or_o unite_a assembly_n whereof_o the_o archbishop_n be_v but_o a_o chief_a part_n as_o the_o bishop_n be_v and_o i_o will_v humble_o ask_v mr._n baxter_n what_o he_o think_v of_o it_o for_o as_o for_o the_o doctor_n i_o think_v not_o he_o a_o competent_a judge_n not_o so_o much_o because_o he_o be_v not_o verse_v in_o that_o sort_n of_o study_n as_o the_o other_o be_v but_o because_o of_o his_o departure_n from_o himself_o in_o the_o prudential_o of_o his_o irenicum_fw-la and_o be_v thereby_o now_o engage_v to_o maintain_v the_o government_n of_o our_o church_n to_o be_v of_o divine_a right_n he_o must_v not_o receive_v this_o

mean_v the_o consent_n of_o every_o man_n in_o particular_a to_o be_v of_o such_o a_o church_n or_o society_n it_o be_v true_a that_o a_o man_n consent_n do_v make_v he_o a_o member_n so_o as_o without_o it_o he_o can_v be_v none_o but_o the_o church_n or_o society_n must_v be_v suppose_v to_o be_v form_v before_o of_o the_o rule_v and_o rule_v part_n and_o his_o consent_n to_o be_v a_o

which_o he_o have_v right_a to_o be_v a_o member_n it_o be_v the_o ratio_fw-la fundandi_fw-la of_o his_o membership_n and_o the_o condition_n upon_o which_o the_o ruler_n have_v authority_n over_o he_o in_o particular_a when_o we_o suppose_v he_o may_v otherwise_o be_v at_o his_o own_o choice_n but_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v fancy_v that_o this_o consent_n do_v make_v a_o church_n or_o society_n as_o the_o form_n that_o constitute_v it_o as_o they_o must_v do_v who_o suppose_v a_o society_n to_o be_v make_v form_v or_o constitute_v by_o this_o consent_n without_o a_o head_n or_o the_o
