to_o those_o gift_n and_o qualification_n which_o the_o apostle_n lay_v down_o in_o the_o first_o of_o timothy_n the_o 3._o &_o 5._o chapter_n and_o the_o first_o or_o titus_n then_o the_o church_n

they_o be_v not_o to_o take_v upon_o they_o to_o officiate_v in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n by_o virtue_n of_o a_o office_n before_o they_o have_v a_o true_a and_o lawful_a call_n from_o the_o church_n who_o only_o and_o alone_o have_v power_n from_o christ_n her_o only_a king_n and_o head_n to_o instate_v they_o into_o that_o office_n and_o whereas_o before_o they_o be_v but_o member_n or_o private_a man_n as_o you_o in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n call_v they_o and_o can_v not_o lawful_o do_v those_o action_n that_o belong_v to_o a_o true_a minister_n or_o officer_n in_o the_o

betwixt_o they_o and_o the_o other_o member_n or_o brethren_n of_o the_o church_n as_o be_v plain_a out_o of_o the_o first_o of_o the_o act_n where_o joseph_n and_o mathias_n be_v by_o the_o apostle_n and_o brethren_n set_v a_o part_n for_o the_o apostleship_n and_o joseph_n for_o any_o thing_n i_o know_v be_v as_o well_o fit_v for_o the_o office_n as_o mathias_n be_v for_o the_o church_n be_v not_o able_a to_o put_v a_o difference_n betwixt_o they_o which_o be_v the_o more_o fit_a but_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o they_o be_v not_o both_o apostle_n but_o only_o mathias_n who_o be_v lawful_o choose_v and_o immediate_o call_v by_o god_n into_o the_o office_n and_o then_o those_o action_n that_o he_o do_v and_o adminstration_n that_o he_o administer_v be_v the_o execution_n of_o his_o office_n so_o that_o it_o any_o shall_v have_v question_v he_o whether_o he_o be_v a_o apostle_n or_o no_o he_o will_v not_o run_v to_o the_o administration_n or_o execution_n of_o his_o office_n to_o prove_v himself_o a_o true_a apostle_n but_o he_o will_v go_v to_o his_o call_n into_o his_o office_n which_o be_v from_o god_n and_o which_o give_v he_o a_o be_v in_o his_o office_n and_o power_n to_o officiate_v and_o do_v those_o action_n that_o he_o do_v and_o though_o he_o have_v neu●●_n live_v to_o have_v execute_v any_o of_o those_o action_n that_o belong_v to_o his_o office_n yet_o he_o have_v be_v a_o true_a apostle_n for_o all_o thae_n by_o virtue_n of_o his_o call_n into_o his_o apostleship_n so_o that_o i_o say_v to_o you_o of_o your_o minister_n it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a for_o they_o when_o they_o tre_z question_v about_o their_o call_v and_o put_v upon_o it_o to_o prove_v it_o whether_o it_o be_v from_o god_n or_o the_o devil_n the_o one_o of_o which_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v to_o run_v to_o the_o execution_n and_o administration_n of_o their_o office_n to_o prove_v the_o lawfullnesse_n of_o their_o stand_n in_o their_o office_n but_o they_o shall_v go_v to_o the_o power_n and_o authority_n that_o institute_v they_o into_o their_o office_n of_o priesthood_n and_o prove_v it_o whether_o it_o be_v true_a or_o no_o which_o if_o they_o can_v do_v i_o say_v they_o be_v all_o false_a and_o antichristain_n officer_n and_o minister_n which_o all_o god_n people_n be_v bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o detest_v as_o the_o devil_n and_o oppose_v to_o the_o utmost_a of_o their_o power_n and_o strength_n and_o therefore_o i_o put_v you_o upon_o it_o to_o prove_v if_o you_o can_v the_o lawfulness_n of_o their_o stand_n for_o do_v you_o think_v that_o they_o which_o be_v antichrist_n minister_n have_v a_o great_a privilege_n of_o exempion_n from_o prove_v the_o lawfulness_n of_o their_o call_v and_o office_n when_o they_o be_v question_v then_o either_o that_o great_a prophet_n jihn_n the_o baptist_n or_o josus_fw-la christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o his_o apostle_n have_v true_o i_o see_v no_o ground_n nor_o reason_n for_o it_o unless_o you_o will_v say_v their_o bare_a word_n be_v of_o great_a authority_n than_o the_o word_n of_o the_o eternal_a son_n of_o god_n and_o his_o apostle_n for_o first_o of_o all_o john_n the_o baptist_n when_o he_o be_v question_v by_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n what_o he_o be_v he_o do_v not_o say_v it_o be_v sufficient_a that_o i_o do_v the_o work_n of_o a_o prophet_n and_o therefore_o you_o need_v not_o nor_o have_v no_o ground_n to_o question_v i_o any_o further_a about_o my_o authority_n no_o he_o know_v such_o a_o answer_n will_v not_o serve_v their_o turn_n and_o therefore_o when_o they_o ask_v he_o what_o he_o be_v he_o confess_v that_o he_o be_v not_o the_o christ_n what_o then_o be_v thou_o say_v they_o to_o he_o be_v thou_o elias_n and_o he_o say_v i_o be_o not_o who_o then_o be_v thou_o he_o say_v i_o be_o the_o voice_n of_o one_o cay_v in_o the_o wilderness_n make_v straight_o the_o way_n of_o the_o lord_n as_o say_v the_o prophet_n esay_n as_o joh._n 1.19.20_o and_o so_o forward_o so_o you_o see_v john_n bring_v authority_n from_o the_o scripture_n to_o prove_v his_o office_n &_o do_v not_o run_v as_o your_o priest_n do_v to_o the_o administration_n or_o execution_n of_o his_o office_n to_o prove_v his_o office_n or_o the_o lawfulness_n of_o his_o stand_n in_o it_o also_o christ_n himself_o when_o he_o be_v question_v by_o the_o jew_n about_o his_o miracle_n and_o those_o great_a work_n which_o he_o wrought_v by_o virtue_n of_o what_o authority_n he_o do_v they_o he_o answer_v and_o say_v if_o i_o bear_v witness_n of_o myself_o my_o witness_n be_v not_o true_a and_o therefore_o he_o bring_v his_o father_n and_z john_n the_o baptist_n and_o the_o holy_a scripture_n to_o bear_v witness_n of_o he_o that_o he_o do_v not_o take_v up_o his_o authority_n that_o he_o exercise_v of_o himself_o neither_o do_v he_o come_v unto_o they_o of_o his_o own_o head_n and_o in_o his_o own_o name_n but_o bring_v the_o voice_n of_o his_o father_n and_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o word_n to_o bear_v witness_n that_o he_o be_v send_v of_o god_n &_o prophesy_v of_o old_a to_o be_v the_o messiah_n john_n 5.31.32.37.46_o &_o 8.17.18_o also_o the_o apostle_n paul_n when_o he_o be_v question_v by_o his_o enemy_n about_o his_o authority_n or_o the_o lawfulness_n of_o his_o office_n he_o go_v unto_o his_o call_n into_o his_o office_n and_o that_o authority_n that_o place_v he_o in_o it_o and_o by_o that_o prove_v that_o he_o take_v not_o that_o authority_n that_o he_o exercise_v upon_o he_o without_o good_a ground_n but_o have_v it_o place_v upon_o he_o by_o jesus_n christ_n himself_o act_v 22.10.11_o &_o so_o forward_o also_o when_o he_o be_v question_v by_o the_o false_a apostle_n at_o corinth_n and_o galatia_n about_o his_o authority_n he_o answer_v for_o himself_o that_o he_o be_v a_o apostle_n and_o be_v free_a for_o i_o have_v say_v he_o see_v jesus_n christ_n who_o place_v i_o in_o my_o office_n and_o by_o his_o authority_n give_v i_o my_o apostleship_n and_o call_v i_o by_o his_o voice_n thereunto_o so_o that_o my_o authority_n and_o call_v be_v not_o from_o man_n as_o you_o false_a apostle_n be_v nor_o by_o man_n as_o the_o ordinary_a officer_n of_o the_o church_n be_v who_o be_v call_v by_o the_o church_n who_o have_v authority_n from_o god_n so_o to_o do_v but_o immediate_o from_o jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n as_o all_o his_o true_a apostel_n be_v 1_o cor._n 9.1_o gal._n 1.1_o so_o that_o you_o see_v paul_n prove_v he_o be_v a_o apostle_n and_o a_o true_a officer_n of_o jesus_n christ_n before_o ever_o he_o preach_v his_o gospel_n and_o before_o ever_o he_o be_v a_o instrument_n to_o bring_v any_o to_o the_o knowledge_n and_o obedience_n of_o the_o truth_n and_o before_o ever_o the_o corinth_n become_v be_v beget_v by_o his_o ministry_n the_o seal_n of_o his_o apostleship_n and_o do_v john_n baptist_n christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n whensoever_o they_o be_v question_v about_o their_o authority_n by_o their_o opposer_n prove_v their_o call_n into_o their_o office_n by_o virtue_n of_o which_o they_o do_v officiate_v and_o administer_v those_o administration_n they_o administer_v and_o think_v your_o minister_n those_o priest_n and_o deacon_n of_o antichrist_n to_o have_v more_o exemption_n than_o christ_n or_o his_o apostle_n have_v and_o therefore_o if_o they_o be_v minister_n of_o christ_n as_o they_o say_v they_o be_v i_o put_v you_o and_o they_o upon_o it_o to_o prove_v their_o call_n and_o office_n from_o he_o that_o they_o be_v instate_v into_o their_o ministry_n by_o
by_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o deny_v either_o of_o they_o and_o prove_v against_o they_o if_o you_o be_v able_a again_o your_o second_o argument_n to_o prove_v the_o church_n of_o england_n a_o true_a church_n be_v this_o that_o ministry_n which_o do_v accomplish_v the_o same_o and_o which_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o apostle_n do_v must_v needs_o be_v a_o true_a ministry_n but_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n do_v accomplish_v the_o same_o end_n that_o the_o apostle_n ministry_n do_v namely_o conversion_n and_o confirmation_n therefore_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n must_v needs_o be_v true_a but_o to_o prove_v your_o argument_n you_o bring_v not_o one_o place_n of_o scripture_n but_o take_v that_o for_o grant_v which_o i_o confident_o think_v neither_o you_o nor_o none_o in_o the_o ch._n of_o engl._n be_v ever_o able_a to_o prove_v therefore_o i_o absolute_o &_o in_o every_o respect_n deny_v your_o arg._n &_o two_o manner_n of_o way_n prove_v against_o it_o 1._o i_o will_v prove_v that_o if_o the_o ministry_n in_o the_o ch._n of_o engl._n do_v accomplish_v the_o same_o end_n that_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o apostle_n do_v yet_o for_o all_o that_o that_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o prove_v it_o a_o true_a ministry_n for_o to_o judge_v the_o cause_n by_o the_o effect_n be_v a_o leaden_a and_o false_a rule_n 2._o i_o will_v prove_v that_o the_o ministry_n in_o engl._n do_v not_o accomplish_v the_o same_o end_n that_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o apostl_n do_v &_o therefore_o by_o your_o own_o arg._n be_v no_o true_a ministry_n now_o for_o the_o first_o of_o these_o which_o answer_v the_o major_a of_o your_o arg._n i_o say_v it_o have_v be_v and_o still_o may_v be_v possible_a for_o a_o man_n to_o accomplish_v the_o same_o end_n that_o you_o here_o speak_v of_o namely_o to_o be_v a_o instrument_n to_o bring_v god_n people_n to_o the_o manifestation_n of_o faith_n &_o also_o to_o build_v they_o up_o &_o yet_o be_v no_o true_a officer_n or_o minister_n in_o the_o ch._n of_o god_n &_o i_o prove_v it_o out_o of_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o which_o we_o read_v that_o when_o the_o ch._n begin_v to_o increase_v saul_n raise_v a_o great_a persecution_n against_o it_o upon_o which_o all_o the_o brethren_n viz._n the_o member_n of_o the_o ch._n be_v scatter_v abroad_o &_o they_o go_v up_o &_o down_o preach_v the_o word_n act_n 8.3_o but_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o they_o stay_v still_o at_o jerusalem_n verse_n 1._o now_o all_o those_o that_o be_v scatter_v abroad_o be_v not_o true_a official_a minister_n for_o they_o be_v but_o layman_n according_a to_o your_o distinction_n in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n yet_o divers_a of_o they_o who_o be_v no_o true_a officer_n but_o brother_n disciple_n or_o private_a man_n as_o you_o call_v they_o yet_o they_o preach_v the_o word_n to_o the_o gentile_n there_o &_o beget_v by_o their_o preach_a maany_n of_o they_o to_o the_o faith_n for_o the_o text_n say_v the_o hand_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v with_o they_o and_o a_o great_a number_n of_o they_o believe_v and_o then_o come_v barnabas_n from_o jeausalem_n who_o be_v yet_o no_o true_a officer_n in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n be_v as_o yet_o uncalled_a to_o his_o apostleship_n and_o he_o confirm_v and_o strengthen_v and_o more_o full_o build_v they_o up_o in_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n and_o in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o way_n of_o god_n also_o aquilah_n and_o his_o wife_n priscilla_n do_v further_o instruct_v and_o build_v up_o that_o eloquent_a man_n apollo_n act._n 18.26_o also_o there_o be_v certain_a woman_n that_o labour_v with_o paul_n in_o the_o gospel_n phil._n 4.3_o so_o that_o here_o you_o see_v and_o i_o have_v prove_v it_o that_o people_n may_v be_v call_v to_o the_o manifesttaion_n of_o eaith_n and_o further_o build_v up_o by_o those_o that_o be_v no_o true_a officer_n or_o minister_n in_o the_o church_n of_o chirst_n but_o if_o your_o argument_n be_v true_a then_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o all_o those_o man_n yea_o and_o the_o woman_n too_o be_v true_a officer_n and_o minister_n in_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n because_o they_o be_v instrument_n of_o bring_v god_n people_n to_o the_o manifestation_n of_o faith_n and_o further_o build_v they_o up_o but_o your_o argument_n be_v rot_v and_o unsound_a and_o fall_v here_o flat_a to_o the_o ground_n and_o therefore_o if_o i_o shall_v grant_v it_o which_o i_o do_v not_o that_o your_o minister_n by_o their_o ministry_n do_v accomplish_v the_o same_o end_n that_o the_o apostle_n by_o their_o ministry_n do_v yet_o this_o will_v not_o be_v sufficient_a to_o prove_v they_o true_a officer_n or_o minister_n for_o the_o excecution_n of_o a_o office_n do_v not_o prove_v a_o officer_n but_o only_o a_o true_a and_o lawful_a call_n into_o the_o office_n which_o all_o your_o priest_n and_o minister_n in_o england_n want_v and_o therefore_o be_v no_o true_a officer_n nor_o no_o true_a minister_n of_o jesus_n christ_n for_o you_o know_v that_o a_o king_n have_v many_o in_o his_o kingdom_n beside_o himself_o that_o do_v those_o action_n &_o administer_v those_o administration_n that_o be_v peculiar_a to_o he_o alone_o to_o do_v and_o administer_v unless_o they_o be_v authorize_v by_o virtue_n of_o a_o power_n give_v and_o derive_v from_o he_o to_o do_v such_o action_n without_o a_o lawful_a authority_n give_v and_o receive_v from_o he_o they_o may_v loose_v their_o life_n for_o the_o do_v of_o they_o but_o now_o if_o your_o argument_n be_v true_a that_o all_o those_o man_n that_o be_v mean_n or_o instrumenst_n to_o bring_v god_n people_n to_o the_o manifestation_n of_o faith_n and_o obedience_n to_o the_o law_n and_o will_n of_o christ_n be_v true_a officer_n and_o minister_n of_o christ_n it_o will_v follow_v by_o the_o same_o argument_n that_o all_o those_o man_n that_o do_v the_o action_n of_o a_o king_n or_o accomplish_v the_o same_o end_n that_o king_n by_o their_o action_n do_v accomplish_v be_v true_a king_n but_o so_o to_o conclude_v in_o england_n be_v little_o better_a than_o high_a treason_n therefore_o your_o argument_n be_v erroneous_a and_o false_a and_o have_v not_o validity_n in_o it_o for_o if_o so_o be_v you_o will_v have_v their_o administration_n to_o prove_v the_o lawfulness_n of_o their_o

by_o virtue_n of_o be_v instate_v into_o the_o office_n of_o a_o judge_n though_o he_o never_o live_v to_o execute_v any_o of_o those_o acttion_n or_o administration_n that_o belong_v to_o his_o place_n or_o office_n but_o he_o must_v first_o receive_v power_n to_o sit_v in_o court_n of_o judicature_n before_o he_o dare_v take_v upon_o to_o fit_v there_o as_o judge_n and_o when_o he_o have_v receiced_a power_n from_o the_o king_n by_o virtue_n of_o which_o he_o be_v instate_v into_o his_o office_n and_o do_v become_v a_o officer_n then_o do_v he_o lawful_o sit_v in_o court_n of_o
