spiritual_a and_o derive_v to_o holy_a person_n from_o christ_n independent_o on_o any_o secular_a power_n this_o power_n christ_n give_v to_o his_o apostle_n and_o they_o to_o other_o whether_o secular_a power_n will_v or_o no_o so_o that_o the_o secular_a magistrate_n can_v be_v say_v to_o confer_v this_o power_n nor_o to_o exercise_v the_o proper_a act_n of_o it_o nor_o can_v he_o ordain_v a_o presbyter_n or_o give_v the_o sacrament_n but_o yet_o even_o as_o to_o this_o power_n sacred_a person_n may_v be_v say_v thus_o magistratui_fw-la subjacere_fw-la first_o as_o he_o may_v compel_v they_o to_o do_v their_o duty_n and_o to_o execute_v their_o spiritual_a function_n if_o they_o be_v remiss_a second_o as_o

he_o may_v make_v law_n to_o oblige_v they_o to_o do_v such_o and_o such_o particular_a thing_n as_o christ_n have_v command_v they_o three_o as_o he_o may_v punish_v they_o for_o not_o do_v so_o

the_o management_n of_o holy_a thing_n commit_v to_o a_o man_n by_o god_n whereas_o the_o civil_a ministry_n handle_v not_o thing_n sacred_a but_o civil_a this_o sacred_a ministry_n we_o affirm_v to_o have_v be_v commit_v by_o god_n to_o some_o certain_a person_n and_o that_o first_o immediate_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n as_o when_o christ_n choose_v the_o apostle_n and_o 70._o

choose_v and_o ordain_v for_o this_o see_v s._n matthew_n 28.18_o 19_o 20._o jesus_n come_v and_o speak_v to_o they_o say_v all_o power_n be_v give_v to_o i_o in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n go_v you_o

constitute_v mediate_o by_o man._n the_o question_n therefore_o be_v whether_o any_o may_v perform_v the_o act_n of_o this_o ministry_n who_o be_v not_o lawful_o call_v to_o it_o we_o deny_v it_o and_o do_v distinguish_v of_o a_o double_a call_n first_o extraordinary_n when_o god_n do_v call_v some_o man_n immediate_o and_o have_v endow_v they_o with_o gift_n send_v they_o into_o the_o vineyard_n so_o we_o know_v the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n be_v call_v to_o the_o work_n of_o the_o ministry_n and_o we_o believe_v that_o other_o by_o they_o be_v in_o ipsis_fw-la nascentis_fw-la ecclesiae_fw-la primordiis_fw-la so_o call_v second_o i_o do_v not_o doubt_v but_o that_o god_n by_o his_o infinite_a power_n may_v sometime_o call_v man_n thus_o to_o it_o even_o at_o this_o day_n but_o that_o he_o have_v actual_o call_v any_o man_n so_o extraordinary_o and_o immediate_o the_o church_n have_v be_v settle_v for_o so_o many_o year_n i_o deny_v nor_o shall_v i_o believe_v it_o unless_o by_o manifest_a criterion_n they_o make_v it_o appear_v to_o we_o to_o be_v so_o but_o suppose_v it_o that_o sempronius_n come_v to_o i_o and_o preach_v to_o i_o many_o new_a unheard_a of_o thing_n and_o tell_v i_o that_o he_o be_v send_v from_o god_n to_o declare_v they_o to_o i_o i_o say_v in_o this_o case_n no_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o believe_v sempronius_n unless_o by_o some_o cogent_a demonstration_n he_o prove_v himself_o to_o have_v be_v thus_o send_v by_o god_n but_o second_o this_o calling_n be_v ordinary_a to_o wit_n that_o which_o be_v not_o immediate_o from_o god_n but_o mediate_o by_o the_o intervention_n of_o man_n will_n and_o authority_n derive_v from_o god_n and_o this_o call_n be_v twofold_a first_o internal_a which_o consist_v in_o this_o that_o he_o who_o desire_v to_o be_v choose_v or_o admit_v into_o this_o holy_a and_o religious_a negotiation_n shall_v serious_o and_o sincere_o examine_v himself_o and_o his_o talent_n and_o look_v into_o the_o most_o inward_a recess_n of_o his_o mind_n and_o at_o last_o determine_v himself_o to_o have_v this_o inward_a aptitude_n all_o thing_n consider_v for_o the_o work_n of_o the_o ministry_n so_o that_o he_o may_v spontaneous_o offer_v himself_o up_o to_o god_n for_o no_o man_n ought_v to_o be_v admit_v into_o holy_a order_n against_o his_o will_n second_o this_o calling_n be_v external_a make_v by_o those_o who_o preside_v over_o the_o church_n which_o consist_v in_o this_o first_o that_o the_o overseer_n of_o the_o church_n shall_v approve_v the_o man_n gift_n and_o qualification_n for_o the_o work_n public_o second_o after_o they_o have_v according_a to_o the_o apostolical_a canon_n and_o rule_v deliver_v in_o the_o scripture_n know_v and_o approve_v such_o a_o man_n to_o be_v fit_a for_o the_o ministry_n that_o they_o then_o impose_v hand_n on_o he_o in_o a_o solemn_a manner_n initiate_v he_o in_o holy_a order_n and_o communicate_v to_o he_o the_o spiritual_a authority_n first_o give_v they_o by_o christ_n for_o we_o say_v that_o without_o such_o a_o call_n as_o this_o no_o man_n can_v be_v a_o lawful_a minister_n and_o as_o for_o the_o necessity_n of_o this_o call_n none_o of_o the_o ancient_a heretic_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n ever_o deny_v it_o and_o the_o anabaptist_n bear_v in_o high_a germany_n be_v the_o first_o who_o deny_v it_o as_o be_v clear_a out_o
