ab_fw-la absurdo_fw-la with_o argument_n take_v from_o absurdity_n that_o will_v and_o must_v follow_v because_o they_o be_v so_o ready_a to_o swallow_v the_o great_a absurdity_n as_o some_o have_v do_v already_o rather_o than_o by_o they_o to_o be_v drive_v to_o the_o truth_n yet_o the_o holy_a apostle_n use_v this_o argument_n against_o the_o denier_n of_o the_o resurrection_n if_o say_v he_o

now_o give_v the_o reader_n a_o account_n why_o i_o single_a out_o mr._n cotton_n to_o make_v so_o much_o use_v of_o his_o testimony_n in_o this_o controversy_n and_o herein_o i_o shall_v make_v good_a what_o be_v say_v in_o the_o frontispiece_n of_o this_o discourse_n viz._n that_o layman_n preach_v be_v not_o allow_v by_o the_o judgement_n or_o practice_n of_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n in_o new-england_n and_o i_o choose_v out_o mr._n cotton_v testimony_n not_o only_o because_o he_o be_v a_o godly_a and_o learned_a preacher_n and_o expound_v the_o scripture_n allege_v by_o j●hn_n knowl_v for_o private_a person_n preach_v as_o i_o do_v and_o do_v against_o it_o as_o other_o also_o do_v but_o because_o in_o all_o thing_n wherein_o i_o have_v make_v use_n of_o he_o as_o a_o witness_n he_o carry_v with_o he_o the_o vote_n of_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n in_o new-england_n and_o it_o shall_v seem_v of_o all_o the_o church_n of_o the_o separation_n in_o old-england_n if_o n._n h._n and_o j._n h._n the_o publisher_n of_o one_o of_o these_o book_n of_o mr._n cotton_v be_v not_o deceive_v to_o make_v this_o good_a 1._o that_o mr._n cotton_v vote_n carry_v with_o it_o the_o vote_n of_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n in_o new-england_n we_o gather_v because_o the_o title_n of_o one_o of_o these_o book_n wherein_o he_o speak_v against_o layman_n preach_v be_v this_o the_o way_n of_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n in_o new-england_n and_o the_o subject_n of_o the_o book_n be_v to_o show_v and_o make_v good_a the_o practice_n of_o the_o church_n there_o in_o matter_n of_o order_n and_o discipline_n and_o government_n now_o in_o this_o book_n there_o be_v no_o such_o practice_n as_o private_a person_n preach_v mention_v nay_o mr._n cotton_n express_v himself_o often_o and_o pathetical_o against_o it_o and_o show_v we_o that_o they_o be_v so_o far_o from_o allow_v mere_a layman_n to_o preach_v that_o they_o do_v not_o allow_v all_o ecclesiastical_a officer_n
