A86931	A plea for Christian magistracie: or, An answer to some passages in Mr. Gillespies sermon, against Mr. Coleman. As also to the brotherly examination of some passages of Mr. Colemans late printed sermon, upon Job 11.20. In which the reverend and learned commissioner affirmeth, he hath endeavoured to strike at the root of all church government. VVherein the argumentative part of the controversie is calmely and mildly, without any personall reflections, prosecuted. / By William Hussey, minister of the Gospell, at Chesilhurst in Kent.

of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n to_o deliver_v such_o a_o one_o to_o satan_n the_o decree_n be_v paul_n and_o not_o the_o corinthian_n though_o it_o may_v possible_o have_v be_v a_o act_n of_o

which_o they_o have_v not_o learn_v elsewhere_o but_o from_o scripture_n for_o who_o so_o worship_n god_n any_o other_o way_n then_o as_o he_o will_v be_v worship_v though_o they_o be_v great_a

the_o true_a worshipper_n of_o god_n that_o they_o may_v learn_v to_o worship_n god_n according_a to_o his_o will_n out_o of_o the_o scripture_n they_o may_v have_v good_a affection_n to_o obey_v

say_v to_o be_v due_o gather_v in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n be_v with_o sincere_a heart_n to_o invocate_v he_o and_o to_o subscribe_v to_o his_o reveal_v truth_n this_o may_v be_v do_v by_o other_o

christ_n or_o of_o god_n when_o man_n do_v any_o thing_n in_o confidence_n that_o god_n will_v assist_v we_o so_o psal_n 20.5_o in_o the_o name_n of_o our_o god_n will_v we_o set_v up_o our_o banner_n in_o confidence_n god_n will_v assist_v we_o thus_o i_o hope_v the_o parliament_n and_o other_o christian_n may_v undertake_v the_o business_n in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n in_o confidence_n of_o christ_n assistance_n as_o mediator_n for_o who_o sake_n the_o work_n they_o be_v employ_v about_o shall_v be_v acceptable_a to_o god_n second_o in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n a_o thing_n be_v say_v to_o be_v do_v that_o be_v do_v in_o the_o authority_n room_n and_o place_n of_o christ_n as_o if_o christ_n shall_v do_v it_o himself_o and_o thus_o officer_n of_o the_o church_n mr._n gillespie_n

again_o god_n be_v say_v to_o put_v all_o thing_n under_o he_o whereby_o it_o be_v imply_v that_o all_o thing_n be_v not_o under_o he_o before_o they_o be_v put_v under_o he_o but_o as_o the_o

they_o be_v put_v under_o his_o foot_n in_o such_o a_o condition_n in_o such_o a_o consideration_n as_o he_o himself_o be_v subject_a to_o god_n but_o in_o the_o consideration_n that_o christ_n be_v the_o second_o person_n of_o trinity_n so_o he_o be_v not_o inferior_a to_o god_n the_o father_n therefore_o he_o have_v not_o all_o thing_n put_v under_o his_o foot_n as_o second_o person_n in_o trinity_n phil._n 2.8.9.10_o be_v find_v in_o fashion_n as_o a_o man_n he_o humble_v himself_o and_o become_v obedient_a to_o death_n even_o the_o death_n of_o the_o cross_n wherefore_o god_n also_o have_v high_o exalt_v he_o and_o give_v he_o a_o name_n that_o in_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n every_o knee_n shall_v bow_v you_o see_v he_o that_o be_v in_o the_o form_n of_o a_o servant_n be_v exalt_v under_o that_o description_n and_o so_o high_a that_o every_o knee_n shall_v bow_v to_o he_o but_o as_o second_o person_n in_o trinity_n he_o be_v not_o find_v in_o the_o form_n of_o a_o
