A80164	Vindiciæ ministerii evangelici revindicatæ: or The preacher (pretendedly) sent, sent back again, to bring a better account who sent him, and learn his errand: by way of reply, to a late book (in the defence of gifted brethrens preaching) published by Mr. John Martin of Edgefield in Norfolk, Mr. Samuel Petto of Sandcroft in Suffolk, Mr. Frederick Woodale of Woodbridge in Suffolk: so far as any thing in their book pretends to answer a book published, 1651. called Vindiciæ ministerii evangelici; with a reply also to the epistle prefixed to the said book, called, The preacher sent. By John Collinges B.D. and pastor of the church in Stephens parish in Norwich.	Collinges, John, 1623-1690.	1658 (1658)	Wing C5348; Thomason E946_4; ESTC R207611	103,260	172

they_o tell_v thou_o as_o well_o may_v you_o affirm_v a_o man_n to_o be_v a_o father_n who_o have_v no_o son_n nor_o child_n or_o a_o man_n to_o be_v a_o husband_n who_o have_v no_o wife_n as_o you_o may_v affirm_v a_o man_n to_o be_v a_o minister_n who_o have_v no_o employment_n for_o these_o be_v relation_n that_o wide_o differ_v from_o the_o relation_n betwixt_o a_o officer_n and_o his_o work_n a_o father_n as_o he_o be_v a_o father_n be_v a_o thing_n have_v no_o be_v without_o a_o child_n and_o so_o can_v be_v but_o a_o officer_n if_o at_o present_a he_o have_v no_o work_n yet_o have_v as_o a_o officer_n a_o authority_n and_o power_n to_o do_v such_o a_o work_n when_o he_o have_v opportunity_n i_o will_v fain_o know_v of_o our_o brethren_n whether_o a_o man_n may_v not_o be_v in_o the_o

by_o his_o office_n authorize_v unto_o and_o now_o i_o suppose_v every_o reader_n will_v understand_v the_o weakness_n of_o our_o brethren_n first_o argument_n which_o logician_n call_v a_o fallacy_n a_fw-la dicto_fw-la secundum_fw-la quid_fw-la ad_fw-la dictum_fw-la simpliciter_fw-la their_o second_o argument_n be_v in_o sum_n this_o relation_n and_o correlation_n exist_v together_o but_o the_o

be_v correlate_n the_o reader_n will_v easy_o see_v the_o bottom_n of_o this_o argument_n be_v the_o same_o canon_n in_o logic_n which_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o other_o argument_n we_o grant_v that_o the_o office_n be_v a_o mean_n in_o order_n to_o the_o work_n as_o its_o end_n and_o we_o say_v that_o the_o office_n must_v be_v before_o the_o work_n but_o we_o say_v these_o be_v no_o such_o relation_n as_o must_v necessary_o be_v simul_fw-la naturâ_fw-la and_o exist_v together_o except_o they_o mean_v in_o eodem_fw-la entitatis_fw-la gradu_fw-la and_o so_o sunt_fw-la

which_o the_o gospel_n ow_v as_o the_o correlate_n to_o the_o minister_n office_n that_o be_v the_o correlate_n but_o the_o gospel_n own_v the_o church_n not_o the_o work_n as_o correlate_n to_o the_o

he_o give_v some_o apostle_n some_o pastor_n and_o teacher_n for_o the_o work_n of_o the_o ministry_n and_o i_o hope_v eph._n 4._o be_v as_o much_o gospel_n as_o act_n 20.17_o our_o brethren_n say_v here_o again_o that_o officer_n be_v not_o relate_v to_o the_o employment_n of_o the_o ministry_n christian_n reader_n it_o must_v sure_o offend_v thy_o ear_n sure_o we_o will_v not_o much_o desire_v such_o officer_n the_o truth_n be_v they_o do_v dividere_fw-la componenda_fw-la which_o be_v a_o fallacy_n in_o logic_n officer_n be_v relate_v to_o church_n and_o work_v too_o and_o except_o our_o brethren_n have_v be_v guilty_a of_o too_o overween_a a_o desire_n to_o make_v the_o world_n believe_v our_o brethren_n at_o london_n be_v no_o logician_n they_o will_v have_v acknowledge_v it_o with_o half_a this_o stir_n arg._n 4_o our_o brethren_n four_o argument_n in_o form_n lie_v thus_o if_o the_o name_n and_o title_n give_v to_o minister_n in_o scripture_n be_v such_o as_o proclume_v they_o relate_v to_o the_o church_n not_o to_o the_o work_n than_o they_o be_v so_o relate_v but_o the_o name_n and_o title_n give_v to_o minister_n in_o scripture_n as_o do_v aloud_o proclaim_v

i_o quote_v out_o of_o mr._n hudson_n to_o prove_v the_o universal_a church_n prove_v this_o 3._o there_o be_v no_o need_n that_o every_o particular_a church_n if_o not_o organise_v and_o under_o

that_o this_o union_n must_v needs_o be_v by_o a_o explicit_a covenant_n or_o consent_n be_v neither_o to_o be_v prove_v by_o one_o text_n nor_o yet_o by_o one_o sound_a reason_n and_o to_o impose_v

of_o excommunicate_v such_o as_o see_v no_o command_n of_o god_n for_o it_o shall_v not_o think_v fit_a to_o submit_v to_o it_o thus_o far_o i_o can_v yield_v our_o brethren_n that_o a_o particular_a
