elect_v elder_n without_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o church_n and_o in_o all_o this_o there_o be_v no_o primacy_n for_o there_o be_v not_o a_o bishop_n of_o a_o bishop_n or_o a_o presbyter_n of_o a_o presbyter_n to_o make_v use_n
so_o then_o they_o be_v no_o minister_n but_o they_o be_v layman_n so_o there_o be_v layman_n elder_n and_o ruler_n in_o the_o church_n and_o though_o here_o the_o church_n be_v take_v for_o the_o universal_a church_n of_o which_o particular_a church_n be_v member_n and_o part_n yet_o these_o particular_a church_n of_o congregation_n must_v have_v in_o themselves_o that_o which_o be_v essential_a to_o a_o church_n as_o it_o be_v a_o church_n and_o integral_a to_o this_o or_o that_o church_n as_o it_o be_v such_o for_o else_o it_o will_v not_o have_v the_o be_v of_o a_o church_n nor_o the_o well-being_n of_o the_o same_o but_o we_o know_v it_o can_v have_v the_o be_v of_o a_o church_n without_o doctrine_n not_o the_o well-being_n without_o discipline_n and_o as_o doctrine_n be_v necessary_a and_o administer_v by_o preacher_n so_o discipline_n be_v necessary_a and_o administer_v by_o ruler_n and_o as_o the_o object_n of_o the_o preacher_n to_o wit_n preach_v do_v differ_v from_o the_o object_n of_o the_o ruler_n which_o be_v ruling_n so_o that_o ruling_n be_v not_o preach_v neither_o be_v preach_v ruling_n therefore_o the_o person_n that_o preach_v and_o the_o person_n that_o rule_v must_v be_v two_o distinct_a and_o different_a person_n but_o if_o they_o say_v these_o function_n may_v be_v administer_v by_o one_o and_o the_o same_o person_n i_o will_v reply_v then_o the_o function_n of_o all_o the_o member_n of_o one_o body_n may_v be_v in_o one_o member_n of_o the_o same_o so_o hear_v see_v smell_a feel_a etc._n etc._n may_v be_v in_o the_o hand_n or_o in_o some_o other_o member_n the_o reason_n be_v clear_a from_o the_o comparison_n of_o the_o apostle_n the_o life_n and_o strength_n whereof_o do_v consist_v in_o the_o diversity_n and_o difference_n of_o member_n and_o of_o their_o function_n and_o since_o this_o comparison_n be_v so_o much_o press_v by_o saint_n paul_n we_o think_v it_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v neglect_v by_o we_o but_o to_o conclude_v this_o although_o we_o confess_v that_o in_o the_o church_n a_o minister_n may_v be_v and_o be_v a_o ruler_n yet_o thereby_o we_o do_v not_o both_o eye_n the_o rule_v office_n in_o the_o
