be_v grant_v and_o so_o the_o congregationall_a way_n be_v as_o suitable_a to_o state_n as_o presbytery_n or_o any_o other_o government_n in_o the_o world_n to_o the_o three_o question_n he_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v more_o fit_a that_o the_o state_n shall_v be_v subject_a to_o christ_n rule_n then_o christ_n to_o it_o but_o this_o question_n say_v he_o be_v beside_o the_o question_n until_o you_o prove_v a_o set_v unalterable_a government_n which_o i_o have_v do_v sufficient_o yet_o to_o say_v somewhat_o to_o what_o he_o say_v in_o the_o follow_a word_n whether_o christian_a prince_n parliament_n synod_n under_o the_o gospel_n have_v not_o power_n to_o bind_v all_o the_o church_n under_o their_o dominion_n as_o the_o major_a part_n of_o a_o independent_a church_n to_o bind_v their_o own_o member_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v first_o if_o majoritie_n be_v consider_v absolute_o in_o itself_o that_o where_o there_o be_v the_o great_a number_n or_o great_a part_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n they_o may_v make_v law_n for_o other_o church_n then_o another_o kingdom_n if_o it_o be_v great_a than_o this_o and_o the_o number_n of_o the_o church_n more_o may_v make_v ecclesiastical_a law_n for_o this_o kingdom_n yea_o then_o that_o must_v call_v in_o all_o the_o church_n in_o the_o world_n in_o every_o matter_n for_o where_o there_o be_v more_o there_o be_v authority_n yea_o only_o the_o catholic_n church_n must_v rule_v and_o make_v law_n for_o itself_o second_o the_o reason_n why_o the_o major_a part_n of_o a_o congregation_n bind_v yet_o only_o in_o particular_a action_n which_o concern_v themselves_o not_o in_o prescribe_v a_o rule_n of_o church_n government_n unto_o other_o be_v because_o of_o the_o promise_n which_o god_n have_v make_v with_o they_o matth._n 18._o where_n two_o or_o three_o be_v gather_v together_o in_o my_o name_n i_o will_v be_v in_o the_o midst_n say_v christ_n when_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o

there_o can_v be_v no_o censure_n of_o excommunication_n right_o administer_v for_o there_o can_v be_v no_o excommunication_n but_o either_o by_o cut_v the_o person_n off_o from_o this_o life_n or_o
