of_o authority_n for_o if_o a_o man_n preach_v to_o heathen_n where_o no_o church_n be_v how_o can_v he_o usurp_v authority_n over_o the_o church_n reply_n true_o he_o can_v usurp_v authority_n over_o the_o church_n but_o authority_n he_o use_v towards_o they_o to_o who_o he_o preach_v when_o paul_n preach_v to_o heathen_n it_o be_v a_o authoritative_a act_n no_o less_o than_o when_o he_o preach_v to_o the_o church_n he_o preach_v as_o a_o ambassador_n to_o one_o as_o well_o as_o to_o the_o other_o and_o see_v that_o paul_n or_o any_o other_o minister_n preach_v to_o heathen_n or_o such_o as_o

not_o always_o great_a than_o he_o that_o be_v bless_v reply_n this_o be_v very_o gross_a and_o contrary_a to_o the_o text_n which_o evident_o speak_v of_o melchizedek_n who_o bless_v only_o ministerial_o and_o not_o by_o any_o original_a power_n and_o yet_o that_o kind_n of_o blessing_n the_o apostle_n allege_v as_o a_o evidence_n of_o his_o superiority_n over_o abraham_n as_o the_o

the_o apostle_n be_v compare_v sex_n with_o sex_n in_o the_o general_n not_o husband_n and_o wife_n in_o particular_a and_o if_o this_o text_n concern_v such_o woman_n also_o as_o have_v no_o husband_n which_o i_o believe_v our_o brethren_n will_v not_o deny_v then_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o usurp_a authority_n over_o the_o male_a kind_n in_o the_o church_n not_o over_o a_o husband_n to_o which_o may_v be_v add_v that_o the_o authority_n here_o speak_v of_o be_v not_o a_o economical_a but_o a_o political_a a_o ecclesiastical_a authority_n not_o a_o authority_n in_o the_o family_n but_o in_o the_o church_n not_o a_o authority_n assume_v in_o some_o family_n administration_n but_o in_o a_o church_n affair_n if_o it_o be_v further_o say_v for_o i_o shall_v improve_v their_o argument_n to_o the_o high_a that_o the_o apostle_n forbid_v this_o usurp_n of_o authority_n to_o the_o woman_n allow_v it_o to_o the_o man_n i_o answer_v it_o no_o way_n follow_v no_o more_o than_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o french_a law_n when_o they_o prohibit_v woman_n from_o usurp_a authority_n or_o wield_v the_o sceptre_n do_v allow_v it_o to_o all_o man_n or_o than_o it_o will_v follow_v if_o a_o law_n be_v make_v that_o no_o woman_n shall_v usurp_v authority_n in_o a_o corporation_n that_o therefore_o every_o man_n ought_v to_o do_v it_o which_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v true_a that_o on_o the_o contrary_a such_o a_o act_n will_v not_o only_o forbid_v woman_n also_o but_o all_o other_o until_o they_o be_v call_v to_o it_o 3._o to_o shut_v the_o door_n to_o all_o such_o

they_o to_o speak_v but_o to_o be_v in_o subjection_n as_o say_v the_o law_n whence_o the_o inference_n be_v plain_a and_o undeniable_a that_o to_o speak_v i._n e._n in_o the_o church_n be_v

the_o same_o reason_n they_o be_v forbid_v to_o preach_v for_o my_o part_n this_o be_v so_o clear_a that_o he_o that_o shall_v resist_v such_o evidence_n i_o shall_v despair_v of_o ever_o see_v he_o

but_o even_o occasional_a preach_v which_o be_v here_o forbid_v they_o and_o so_o by_o a_o parity_n of_o reason_n gift_a man_n unless_o in_o case_n of_o necessity_n and_o with_o order_n to_o trial_n for_o ordination_n which_o also_o be_v necessary_a as_o have_v be_v argue_v may_v not_o so_o much_o as_o preach_v once_o and_o their_o preach_v tho_o spare_o be_v as_o clear_o though_o not_o so_o gross_o contrary_a to_o this_o prohibition_n as_o to_o preach_v constant_o 2._o that_o it_o be_v the_o work_n and_o not_o the_o manner_n of_o work_v which_o be_v here_o forbid_a the_o very_a work_n of_o public_a preach_n be_v here_o forbid_v they_o this_o i_o say_v to_o prevent_v a_o common_a evasion_n of_o our_o brethren_n that_o gift_a man_n may_v not_o and_o can_v preach_v in_o the_o same_o

the_o case_n of_o woman_n and_o say_v that_o they_o may_v do_v the_o work_n although_o they_o can_v do_v it_o in_o the_o same_o manner_n i._n e._n with_o authority_n if_o i_o shall_v say_v so_o it_o will_v be_v easy_a to_o silence_v i_o by_o say_v that_o the_o very_a act_n of_o preach_v be_v speak_v of_o as_o a_o act_n of_o authority_n and_o that_o may_v just_o silence_v they_o too_o the_o six_o argument_n be_v
or_o ruler_n not_o as_o if_o there_o be_v any_o defect_n in_o his_o authority_n but_o only_o because_o there_o be_v a_o manifest_a inconveniency_n and_o disorder_n in_o such_o a_o promiscuous_a and_o

ii_o i_o shall_v premise_v another_o consideration_n which_o be_v well_o digest_v be_v sufficient_a to_o enervate_v all_o that_o be_v say_v by_o our_o brethren_n as_o to_o this_o point_n it_o be_v this_o a_o general_a respect_n to_o the_o whole_a church_n be_v not_o inconsistent_a with_o a_o peculiar_a respect_n to_o some_o one_o church_n suppose_v one_o have_v a_o vast_a number_n of_o sheep_n

sheep_n into_o twenty_o parcel_n and_o each_o undertake_v to_o look_v to_o his_o share_n yet_o so_o as_o that_o in_o thing_n of_o common_a concernment_n to_o all_o the_o sheep_n they_o all_o meet_v and_o consult_v together_o etc._n etc._n but_o in_o matter_n of_o private_a concernment_n every_o man_n look_v to_o his_o own_o parcel_n in_o this_o case_n every_o shepherd_n have_v a_o double_a

be_v the_o case_n of_o the_o church_n and_o so_o it_o be_v out_o of_o doubt_n with_o the_o apostle_n unto_o who_o christ_n commit_v the_o care_n of_o his_o sheep_n indefinite_o and_o because_o each_o of_o they_o can_v not_o look_v to_o all_o therefore_o the_o sheep_n be_v divide_v into_o parcel_n and_o every_o apostle_n take_v upon_o himself_o a_o special_a relation_n unto_o some_o one_o parcel_n and_o have_v his_o proper_a line_n 2_o cor._n 10._o and_o because_o the_o sheep_n multiply_v so_o fast_o that_o to_o look_v to_o they_o all_o be_v a_o work_n too_o heavy_a for_o the_o apostle_n shoulder_n therefore_o the_o flock_n be_v divide_v into_o more_o parcel_n and_o they_o ordain_v more_o shepherd_n who_o although_o peculiar_o entrust_v with_o their_o proper_a charge_n yet_o be_v

among_o themselves_o or_o as_o it_o be_v in_o germany_n where_o every_o elector_n and_o prince_n of_o the_o empire_n sustain_v a_o double_a relation_n he_o be_v relate_v more_o especial_o to_o his_o
