of the consequence is8
bishops and presbyters were8
the keys of the8
that which gives the8
signification of the word8
that which we have8
of the ministerial office8
put an end to8
among you i exhort8
solemne league and covenant8
the written word of8
to continue in the8
ordination of a bishop8
instituted in scripture times8
there is not a8
of the apostles and8
of the number of8
in the act of8
not by divine right8
but the consequent is8
there is but one8
even unto the end8
ministers in the church8
name of a bishop8
the body of the8
no power to ordain8
the conversion of the8
for the church of8
were of the same8
to take upon him8
in all the churches8
and to all the8
and it is not8
church of rome is8
the very office of8
not of necessity to8
there is such a8
that are in the8
extraordinary gifts of the8
the true christian faith8
for any man to8
of a single church8
of the government of8
the prophets and teachers8
which it appears that8
ought to take upon8
the power of consecrating8
a man to be8
christ or his apostles8
this is nothing to8
it is easie to8
the spirit of grace8
divine right of episcopacy8
the exercise of that8
of pastors and teachers8
against the holy ghost8
the duty of the8
ordained by imposition of8
of the fourth council8
to all the flock8
but he hath not8
bishops and presbyters are8
of the people to8
of the roman empire8
of which i have8
the mind of god8
if there were any8
and by this means8
if it be not8
fast in the faith8
by the example of8
there is no power8
of timothy and titus8
that this is the8
all that i have8
an answer to mr8
be continued in the8
that the call to8
the body and blood8
act as a minister8
of laying on of8
be necessary to the8
are among you i8
on the lords day8
if they had been8
whole work of ordination8
is to be found8
all the reformed churches8
and the power of8
order of the church8
the manner of the8
that even in the8
them in the lord8
being of the church8
have the rule over8
the rest of his8
as i may say8
but it will be8
the master of the8
of the apostles themselves8
and that the apostles8
therefore it must be8
the order of the8
and at the same8
he that is called8
what is meant by8
officers of the church8
such an one as8
out of the church8
in the administration of8
of the seven churches8
the lord of the8
in the form of8
is to be ordained8
we refer the reader8
ordination by presbyters was8
i do not think8
of a christian man8
for no man can8
representative of the clergy8
the ordination of priests8
the face of the8
because he is not8
is said in the8
part of the world8
had power to ordain8
minister of the church8
to feed the flock8
written word of god8
as well as of8
that he was ordained8
is in the power8
into the church of8
which some of our8
in the presence of8
the congregation of israel8
that there may be8
not a word of8
it is only the8
in the mean while8
that they may be8
the apostles of christ8
the proof of the8
in so far as8
as i shall shew8
in most of the8
chosen out of the8
trouble the reader with8
representative of the people8
to the churches of8
of those that were8
in order to their8
of the person to8
feed the church of8
a person of quality8
calling of a minister8
and another thing to8
that he would have8
that which he hath8
elected by the people8
to make use of8
that the bishops of8
they are not to8
the generality of the8
of the pastors of8
for it is a8
preaching of the gospel8
of the same office8
was not in the8
have power of ordination8
in opposition to the8
as if there were8
over them in the8
and that it was8
care of all the8
in the manner of8
the matter of a8
the care of the8
of the christian world8
paul and barnabas were8
may do the work8
it is not of8
heard the word of8
agreeable to the word8
man ought to take8
so much the more8
ordination of ministers is8
on of hands in8
i am with you8
the solemne league and8
so far as they8
that a bishop is8
imposition of hands in8
well as the apostles8
it must needs follow8
in the times of7
which could not be7
i know not how7
minister of the word7
that hath commanded us7
of the work of7
for all sorts of7
if he had been7
the elders of ephesus7
the taking of the7
the same time he7
brought into the church7
a stinted liturgy is7
the scripture it self7
of ordination and jurisdiction7
is our duty to7
of the particular churches7
that are not prelatical7
to the judgement of7
if he be not7
how shall i know7
of the ordinations of7
that we ought to7
we deny not but7
with him in the7
old and new testament7
it will be objected7
from the power of7
of ordination in the7
that there were many7
we are far from7
the form of ordination7
t is to be7
power of the keyes7
the land of canaan7
the presbyters of alexandria7
in the jewish church7
there should be a7
exercise of the ministry7
at this day in7
there is not any7
the office or work7
i take it for7
to the end that7
the edifying of the7
used in the new7
of the church at7
by christ in his7
that timothy was not7
safety of the church7
and therefore cannot be7
the power and authority7
of the church was7
i do not mean7
acts of the apostles7
behave himself in the7
a form of words7
to do any thing7
the apostles and elders7
the churches in the7
hands of the bishop7
and by the same7
for the preaching of7
from christ and his7
the bishop and the7
as if he were7
according to the mind7
the most of them7
the vindication of the7
the love of the7
by vertue of their7
unto the people of7
ministers of the gospell7
be admitted to the7
it is that they7
ordination by such as7
of the book of7
they have not the7
whom we may appoint7
of the ordination of7
and so by consequence7
divine right of the7
because there is no7
the greatness of their7
perpetually necessary in the7
in the plural number7
the essentials of a7
and that is the7
that there were bishops7
there is no difference7
with the gift of7
the apostles paul and7
all the new testament7
he went into macedonia7
is certain that the7
institution of a christian7
what has been said7
it is not in7
for want of a7
it by vertue of7
or imposition of hands7
a government of citizens7
hundred or two hundred7
of binding and loosing7
the custome of the7
of the ministry which7
the measure of the7
canon of the council7
of prophets and evangelists7
the force of a7
being of a church7
the bishops of asia7
an assembly of elders7
power of the church7

the ballance of the7
no such thing as7
all the parts of7
where there are none7

those things which are7

of the exercise of7

as far as i7

the question is not7

so far as to7
to the apostles as7
much in answer to7

the consecration of the7

from the church of7
third part of the7

so much in answer6
within the compass of6
the substance of their6
may as well say6
without a lawfull call6

put for the whole6
an order of men6
that we have no6
made bishop of ephesus6
to propose unto the6
to have the same6
time of the apostles6
of christ may be6
seven churches of asia6
but there is a6
the authors they follow6
the flock of god6

the holy ghost had6
by which it is6
in the singular number6

we doubt not but6
and the authors they6
the first epistle was6
have to do with6
and those that are6
of ordination by the6

day of the week6
more bishops then one6
to stir up the6
in the next place6
of the priests and6
whom the power of6
no mention made of6
be said of the6
of their ordinary power6
essence of the ministerial6
as the apostles were6
mention is made of6
to do nothing without6
and that in the6
that the work of6
it is not likely6
and then it will6
if they will not6
by the grace of6
not to be doubted6
to the exercise of6
to be done in6
of many particular churches6
the gates of hell6
then the office of6
to god for the6
in the matter of6
to be done by6
is a work of6
the seven churches of6
the time of st6
those of you that6
up to the perfection6
it is supposed that6
the gift of god6

there was a church6
government of the churches6
it may be said6
of the ancient church6
take care of all6
to lay hands suddenly6
are such as are6
churches of the saints6
to whom it was6
this is not a6
that the presbyters were6
the right order or6
with the principles of6
that no man can6
we have no power6
that none ought to6
that we read of6
at least in the6
blessing of god upon6
that the essence of6
the old church of6
there must be heresies6
common councel of presbyters6
the use of them6
i come now to6
if it be the6
bishops in our brethrens6
corah and his company6
as the church of6
sectaries of this time6
ordained by a bishop6
there is no way6
power of binding and6
this is all that6
the vote of the6
the sight of god6
are to be understood6
a man may not6
of the people was6
have been written in6
in our brethrens sense6
first epistle was written6
i have before shewed6
of them in the6
either the office or6
let us see what6
in respect of their6
he that hath commanded6
imposition of hands was6
cannot be said of6
known among your tribes6
is the same thing6
the ballance of empire6
be taken for the6
vindication of the ordinations6
the ministeriall call doth6
by this means the6
the death of christ6
the command of the6
the churches of god6
to the honour of6
of those new lights6
but that we may6

and no man can6
upon the same account6
in a particular church6
to this i answer6
the institution of a6
peace of these churches6
the best of them6
and all manner of6
upon him the office6
that the apostles and6
not as to the6
great part of the6
is in thee by6
if a man be6

the goths and vandals6
and most of the6
and of the same6
to be made an6
necessities of the church6
bishops of the church6
timothy was bishop of6
but the question is6
the ministers we speak6
upon the whole matter6
as the office of6
the third part of6
from the exercise of6
it was done by6
it appears that the6
laid their hands upon6
is given to the6
the reformed churches that6
decrees of the senate6
and to esteem them6
if we consider the6
if there be not6
no part of the6
upon the credit of6
of the son of6
of the now scotland6
for my own part6
the age of the6
of the kings meat6
shall not prevail against6
designation of the person6
by fasting and prayer6
the sectaries of this6
there is no necessity6
such bishops as were6
according to the canons6

god hath commanded us6
it to be a6
of the church are6
that we may know6
the knowledge of the6
will of christ that6

of that particular church6
they were to be6
power of the people6
the word of reconciliation6
sent to ephesus and6
the first and second6
hath no power to6
greatness of their sin6
as well as you6
they are bound to6
it cannot be denied6
or such as are6
of him that is6
the reign of antichrist6
would have us believe6
the holy ghost himself6
of the people that6
it may be done6
if there had been6
when the president is6
the prince of the6
give an account of6
except in case of6
of the church or6
there is such an6
perfection of the kind6
immediate and extraordinary call6
it is the duty6
of all the rest6
and blood of christ6
to perswade the people6

of the bishops of6
why a government of6

ministry of the church6
it is our duty6
that it was no6
no manner of way6
and not onely so6
the things which are6
reasons why a government6
is so great a6
that the ordination of6

of this kind of6

it is confessed by5
the chief pastor of5

even according to the5
