A78217	Ichnographia. Or A model of the primitive congregational way: wherein satisfaction is offered, by unfolding (according to the Scriptures) what the right order of the Gospel, and way of the saints in the visible worshipping of God is, in the dayes of the New Testament. And how the saints in these dayes may walk up to it, notwithstanding their present hindrances. Together with the maine points in controversie, touching the right visible church-state Christ hath instituted under the Gospel, with the extent of church-officers, and power of particular visible churches, and continuance of divine ordinances and institutions under the defection and apostasie of Antichrist. By W. Bartlet, Minister of the Gospel, at Wapping.	Bartlet, William, 1609 or 10-1682.	1647 (1647)	Wing B986; Thomason E381_17; ESTC R201418	140,788	175

and_o administer_v ordinance_n bring_v a_o great_a disparagement_n on_o the_o truth_n itself_o for_o if_o it_o be_v not_o able_a to_o make_v itself_o evident_a without_o miracle_n be_v it_o not_o a_o great_a argument_n of_o its_o weakness_n and_o insufficiency_n whereas_o it_o be_v far_o otherwise_o with_o the_o truth_n as_o ephes_n 5.13_o 6._o do_v not_o this_o opinion_n direct_o cross_v and_o contradict_v that_o of_o our_o saviour_n joh._n 16.8_o and_o derogate_v from_o the_o authority_n and_o power_n of_o the_o spirit_n for_o there_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o its_o the_o office_n of_o the_o spirit_n to_o convince_v the_o world_n of_o sin_n of_o righteousness_n and_o judgement_n now_o to_o say_v that_o this_o work_n can_v be_v do_v unless_o there_o be_v miracle_n wrought_v by_o man_n that_o be_v the_o spirit_n instrument_n what_o be_v this_o but_o to_o derogate_v from_o the_o spirit_n and_o to_o make_v the_o efficacy_n of_o the_o ministry_n to_o depend_v more_o upon_o the_o external_a work_n of_o miracle_n then_o upon_o the_o internal_a work_n of_o the_o spirit_n whereas_o the_o great_a miracle_n that_o ever_o be_v wrought_v by_o the_o apostle_n or_o other_o can_v never_o prevail_v to_o gain_v the_o heart_n of_o wretched_a sinner_n to_o the_o embrace_v of_o the_o truth_n nor_o convince_v they_o of_o sin_n righteousness_n and_o judgement_n if_o the_o spirit_n presence_n be_v want_v and_o therefore_o many_o time_n we_o find_v among_o the_o jew_n that_o notwithstanding_o all_o the_o miracle_n that_o christ_n himself_o and_o his_o apostle_n wrought_v before_o they_o they_o continue_v obstinate_a and_o harden_a in_o their_o sin_n so_o that_o the_o efficacy_n of_o the_o mean_n depend_v on_o the_o spirit_n and_o if_o so_o then_o there_o be_v no_o such_o necessity_n for_o work_v of_o miracle_n to_o convince_v man_n of_o the_o truth_n for_o be_v the_o external_a mean_n or_o instrument_n weak_a or_o strong_a it_o matter_n not_o so_o the_o spirit_n employ_v it_o and_o common_o we_o find_v it_o to_o be_v true_a by_o experience_n that_o the_o weak_a the_o secondary_a cause_n or_o mean_n be_v the_o more_o glorious_a do_v the_o power_n of_o the_o

of_o their_o blind_a and_o dark_a understanding_n etc._n etc._n the_o truth_n of_o the_o proposition_n be_v thus_o clear_v i_o now_o come_v to_o some_o inference_n 1._o in_o the_o first_o place_n it_o will_v clear_o follow_v that_o those_o man_n be_v mighty_o mistake_v and_o out_o of_o the_o way_n that_o stick_v not_o to_o affirm_v that_o the_o church-state_n and_o order_n of_o government_n thereunto_o correspondent_a which_o jesus_n christ_n have_v institute_v be_v mutable_a and_o aught_o to_o be_v suit_v according_a to_o the_o law_n and_o government_n of_o particular_a state_n and_o kingdom_n as_o if_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o primitive_a time_n have_v a_o mix_a government_n and_o administration_n of_o the_o ordinance_n according_a to_o the_o law_n and_o custom_n of_o the_o country_n as_o for_o example_n the_o church_n of_o christ_n in_o asia_n have_v one_o way_n of_o government_n the_o church_n in_o galatia_n another_o way_n of_o order_n and_o government_n and_o the_o church_n in_o judea_n another_o whereas_o the_o scripture_n affirm_v the_o clean_a contrary_n scil_n that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v leave_v but_o one_o order_n of_o church_n state_n and_o polity_n for_o all_o his_o church_n to_o observe_v and_o make_v use_n of_o which_o as_o i_o have_v show_v in_o the_o essential_o of_o it_o be_v unchangeable_a and_o to_o be_v observe_v and_o keep_v to_o the_o appear_v of_o jesus_n christ_n the_o author_n and_o instituter_n of_o it_o 1_o tim._n 6.13_o 14._o and_o therefore_o what_o the_o apostle_n ordain_v in_o one_o church_n he_o do_v in_o all_o as_o 1_o cor._n 7.17_o and_o this_o be_v the_o judgement_n of_o learned_a whitaker_n against_o duraeus_n and_o cartwright_n against_o whitgift_n who_o handle_v this_o point_n very_o large_o in_o his_o second_o reply_n his_o word_n be_v these_o thus_o say_v he_o to_o whitgift_n where_o the_o christian_a magistrate_n be_v give_v of_o god_n to_o keep_v the_o order_n which_o god_n have_v set_v in_o his_o church_n you_o bring_v he_o in_o as_o a_o breaker_n and_o changer_n of_o the_o order_n which_o god_n have_v appoint_v by_o his_o holy_a apostle_n but_o the_o godly_a christian_a magistrate_n may_v understand_v that_o as_o neither_o our_o saviour_n christ_n nor_o any_o wise_a and_o well_o instruct_v ministry_n under_o he_o will_v meddle_v with_o any_o order_n or_o form_n of_o common_a wealth_n lawful_o institute_v of_o they_o for_o the_o better_a government_n of_o their_o people_n but_o leave_v they_o as_o they_o find_v they_o so_o they_o ought_v to_o leave_v whole_a and_o untouched_a that_o order_n that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v place_v in_o his_o church_n and_o as_o the_o author_n say_v true_o in_o another_o place_n that_o christ_n come_v not_o to_o overthrow_v civil_a government_n even_o so_o he_o say_v it_o be_v as_o true_a that_o god_n send_v not_o king_n to_o overthrow_v church_n government_n plant_v by_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n yea_o so_o much_o more_o absurd_a be_v this_o latter_a than_o the_o first_o by_o how_o much_o they_o ought_v to_o have_v more_o firmity_n which_o be_v set_v down_o by_o the_o lord_n himself_o than_o which_o be_v by_o man_n for_o what_o son_n of_o adam_n shall_v presume_v to_o alter_v that_o order_n which_o the_o lord_n himself_o from_o heaven_n have_v set_v etc._n etc._n and_o therefore_o certain_o jesus_n christ_n will_v give_v such_o man_n but_o little_a thanks_o another_o day_n for_o their_o endeavour_n to_o make_v his_o institution_n as_o a_o nose_n of_o wax_n to_o be_v alter_v and_o change_v to_o
