A19800	The iudgement of that reuerend and Godly lerned man, M.

institution_n hereof_o under_o the_o old_a testament_n so_o have_v he_o as_o large_o under_o the_o new_a institute_v or_o rather_o restore_v it_o be_v fall_v down_o and_o decay_v the_o same_o by_o his_o apostle_n as_o be_v a_o matter_n altogether_o most_o necessary_a for_o the_o right_a constitution_n and_o government_n of_o his_o church_n the_o which_o thing_n appear_v out_o of_o many_o place_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o especial_o out_o of_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n the_o first_o epistle_n of_o paul_n to_o the_o corin._n the_o first_o to_o timothy_n and_o that_o to_o titus_n in_o all_o which_o &_o the_o like_a place_n whatsoever_o apertaine_v to_o the_o right_n and_o lawful_a government_n of_o the_o church_n be_v careful_o and_o large_o set_v down_o whether_o you_o regard_v the_o order_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n in_o general_n or_o the_o govern_n of_o some_o few_o in_o particular_a in_o consideration_n whereof_o i_o think_v it_o a_o wonderful_a &_o a_o absurd_a case_n that_o afterward_o so_o many_o cannon_n so_o many_o decree_n of_o synod_n so_o many_o constitution_n of_o church_n needle_n the_o canon_n of_o general_a and_o provincial_a counsel_n for_o the_o most_o part_n vain_a and_o needle_n both_o general_a and_o particular_a be_v write_v and_o establish_v for_o the_o order_n of_o ecclesiastical_a government_n for_o what_o need_n be_v there_o of_o this_o labour_n which_o only_o do_v arise_v from_o the_o great_a contempt_n and_o ignorance_n of_o these_o precept_n which_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v set_v down_o by_o the_o pen_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o that_o because_o man_n despise_v the_o way_n of_o god_n that_o they_o may_v establish_v the_o invention_n of_o their_o own_o brain_n and_o bring_v into_o the_o church_n their_o own_o tradition_n which_o for_o the_o most_o part_n be_v too_o absurd_a and_o childish_a and_o always_o mere_a contrary_n unto_o the_o discipline_n prescribe_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o here_o some_o man_n will_v demand_v whether_o this_o discipline_n be_v so_o precise_o set_v down_o note_n note_n and_o prescribe_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n as_o nothing_o can_v be_v add_v unto_o it_o and_o appoint_v so_o strict_o under_o pain_n of_o the_o lord_n displeasure_n as_o man_n may_v not_o swerve_v any_o whit_n at_o all_o from_o it_o in_o the_o answer_n of_o this_o question_n i_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o use_v a_o distinction_n for_o there_o be_v many_o and_o sundry_a part_n of_o ecclesiastical_a discipline_n whereof_o the_o one_o do_v contain_v and_o describe_v only_o a_o general_a way_n and_o mean_v of_o place_v guide_a and_o rule_v the_o church_n in_o whatsoever_o place_n and_o country_n of_o the_o world_n it_o do_v remain_v as_o for_o example_n that_o only_o the_o voice_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v to_o be_v hear_v in_o the_o church_n and_o no_o other_o that_o the_o sacrament_n be_v only_o to_o be_v deliver_v unto_o the_o godly_a and_o faithful_a and_o all_o other_o point_n that_o be_v of_o like_a kind_n which_o general_o respect_v the_o conservation_n of_o the_o church_n the_o other_o part_n do_v handle_v and_o declare_v more_o particular_o the_o rule_n of_o govern_v the_o same_o this_o latter_a part_n of_o ecclesiastical_a discipline_n contain_v 4._o head_n first_o the_o election_n of_o these_o person_n which_o be_v call_v unto_o some_o ecclesiastical_a office_n secondlye_o a_o description_n of_o the_o office_n and_o calling_n of_o the_o person_n that_o be_v elect_v three_o the_o way_n and_o manner_n of_o administer_a church_n censure_n as_o well_o public_o before_o the_o assembly_n of_o the_o elder_n as_o otherwise_o the_o four_o be_v concern_v the_o receive_n into_o the_o church_n of_o they_o that_o be_v under_o the_o ecclesiastical_a censure_n either_o suspend_v or_o excommunicate_v when_o as_o the_o question_n be_v therefore_o whether_o every_o particular_a of_o these_o head_n be_v so_o set_v down_o in_o the_o word_n that_o nothing_o can_v be_v add_v thereunto_o church_n some_o thing_n essential_a some_o thing_n accidentarie_a in_o the_o regiment_n of_o the_o church_n i_o answer_v that_o in_o every_o work_n cause_n and_o action_n there_o be_v some_o thing_n essential_a and_o some_o thing_n accidental_a those_o thing_n be_v essential_a which_o contain_v the_o whole_a nature_n of_o the_o thing_n or_o some_o part_n thereof_o as_o in_o this_o argument_n if_o any_o man_n in_o the_o lawful_a call_n of_o pastor_n or_o other_o church_n officer_n that_o be_v to_o be_v choose_v shall_v deny_v either_o that_o their_o life_n and_o doctrine_n be_v to_o be_v try_v or_o that_o the_o approbation_n of_o the_o people_n be_v to_o be_v have_v in_o their_o choice_n he_o deni_v those_o thing_n which_o be_v essential_a unto_o all_o lawful_a election_n in_o like_a sort_n if_o any_o man_n shall_v say_v that_o this_o trial_n be_v not_o to_o be_v have_v by_o the_o church_n and_o that_o by_o many_o but_o by_o one_o man_n alone_o and_o shall_v teach_v that_o the_o church_n be_v to_o stand_v in_o this_o case_n unto_o the_o mere_a determination_n of_o one_o he_o take_v away_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v essential_a in_o election_n but_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v reason_v that_o this_o trial_n by_o many_o be_v to_o be_v do_v in_o this_o or_o that_o place_n at_o this_o or_o that_o time_n after_o this_o or_o that_o manner_n he_o speak_v only_o of_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v accidental_a as_o for_o example_n the_o ancient_a manner_n in_o time_n pass_v of_o election_n and_o trial_n of_o pastor_n be_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v choose_v by_o 3._o bishop_n or_o pastor_n that_o be_v next_o unto_o he_o together_o with_o the_o eldership_n and_o church_n whereof_o he_o be_v to_o be_v pastor_n and_o this_o be_v do_v only_o in_o the_o metropolitan_a city_n at_o a_o certain_a and_o a_o appoint_v time_n namely_o in_o the_o time_n of_o public_a fast_o to_o be_v short_a he_o be_v choose_v not_o by_o the_o bare_a consent_n and_o voice_n of_o the_o people_n but_o by_o the_o lift_n up_o of_o their_o hand_n which_o be_v call_v χεῖ̓ροτονία_n all_o which_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v account_v accidentarie_a and_o not_o essential_a in_o election_n this_o therefore_o we_o conclude_v that_o whatsoever_o by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v command_v to_o be_v do_v and_o observe_v in_o the_o government_n of_o the_o church_n whether_o it_o be_v concern_v the_o election_n or_o the_o office_n of_o those_o that_o be_v call_v or_o whatsoever_o head_n of_o ecclesiastical_a discipline_n it_o do_v respect_n we_o conclude_v i_o say_v that_o to_o be_v altogether_o essential_a but_o as_o for_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v adjudge_v and_o appoint_v in_o every_o particular_a province_n or_o church_n to_o be_v most_o commodious_a to_o effect_v and_o practice_v the_o former_a point_n we_o hold_v they_o to_o be_v but_o accidentary_a matter_n as_o that_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n shall_v be_v at_o this_o hour_n rather_o than_o at_o a_o other_o that_o the_o church_n shall_v rather_o have_v this_o number_n of_o elder_n and_o deacons_n then_o that_o all_o which_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v hold_v accidentary_a &_o in_o no_o wise_a essential_a unto_o the_o government_n of_o the_o church_n now_o therefore_o unto_o the_o present_a question_n in_o hand_n according_a unto_o this_o distinction_n we_o answer_v after_o this_o sort_n that_o we_o utter_o hold_v it_o unlawful_a that_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v essential_a unto_o church_n government_n shall_v be_v either_o augment_v or_o diminish_v by_o the_o commandment_n &_o law_n of_o man_n but_o as_o for_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v accidental_a we_o deny_v not_o but_o they_o may_v be_v increase_v diminish_v qualify_v or_o augment_v not_o only_o by_o every_o province_n but_o even_o by_o particular_a church_n as_o they_o find_v they_o convenient_a or_o incommodious_a unto_o their_o state_n and_o to_o speak_v in_o a_o word_n as_o occasion_n of_o the_o circumstance_n of_o place_n time_n and_o person_n shall_v require_v and_o after_o the_o self_n same_o manner_n we_o answer_v unto_o that_o other_o demand_n of_o some_o which_o will_v know_v whether_o the_o church_n may_v swerve_v from_o that_o order_n of_o government_n which_o be_v set_v down_o in_o the_o writing_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o whether_o the_o one_o &_o the_o self_n same_o form_n of_o church_n regiment_n &_o discipline_n aught_o to_o be_v establish_v in_o all_o the_o church_n that_o profess_v the_o gospel_n for_o if_o they_o speak_v of_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v essential_a unto_o the_o government_n of_o the_o church_n the_o answer_n be_v that_o all_o church_n be_v bind_v alike_o to_o observe_v and_o keep_v they_o inviolable_a as_o that_o the_o government_n of_o the_o church_n shall_v be_v aristocratical_a that_o be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o many_o and_o not_o monarchical_a that_o be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o one_o
