A86003	Male audis or An answer to Mr. Coleman his Malè dicis. Wherein the repugnancy of his Erastian doctrine to the word of God, to the solemne League and Covenant, and to the ordinances of Parliament: also his contradictions, tergiversations, heterodoxies, calumnies, and perverting of testimonies, are made more apparent then formerly. Together with some animadversions upon Master Hussey his Plea for Christian magistracy: shewing, that in divers of the afore mentioned particulars he hath miscarried as much, and in some particulars more then Mr Coleman. / By George Gillespie, minister at Edinbrugh.

for_o spare_v the_o town_n alexander_n prevent_v he_o with_o a_o oath_n that_o he_o will_v not_o do_v that_o thing_n which_o anaximenes_n shall_v make_v petition_n for_o whereupon_o anaximenes_n

by_o the_o reverend_a brother_n i_o shall_v think_v it_o most_o strange_a how_o any_o divine_a can_v have_v the_o least_o doubt_n concerning_o the_o obligation_n of_o such_o a_o thing_n except_o he_o

way_n doctrinal_o and_o declarative_o compare_v this_o with_o his_o present_a answer_n it_o will_v amount_v to_o thus_o much_o that_o different_a denomination_n be_v take_v from_o the_o different_a subject_a matter_n minister_n when_o they_o handle_v doctrinal_o matter_n of_o religion_n be_v ecclesiastical_a minister_n and_o when_o they_o handle_v doctrinal_o matter_n of_o civil_a government_n which_o himself_o allow_v they_o to_o do_v they_o be_v civil_a minister_n but_o now_o to_o apply_v his_o answer_n to_o the_o argument_n how_o do_v all_o this_o salve_n the_o repugnancy_n of_o his_o doctrine_n to_o the_o covenant_n if_o he_o have_v examine_v my_o argument_n he_o have_v find_v that_o most_o of_o they_o prove_v from_o the_o covenant_n a_o church-government_n distinct_a from_o civil_a government_n suctjective_a as_o well_o as_o objective_a that_o be_v another_o government_n beside_o magistracy_n different_a agent_n as_o well_o as_o different_a act_n different_a hand_n as_o

due_a to_o he_o by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n or_o by_o the_o doctrine_n either_o of_o the_o ancient_a or_o reform_a church_n i_o do_v not_o infringe_v but_o do_v maintain_v and_o strengthen_v it_o but_o the_o point_n in_o hand_n be_v that_o the_o covenant_n do_v undeniable_o suppose_v and_o clear_o hold_v forth_o a_o government_n in_o the_o church_n distinct_a from_o magistracy_n which_o be_v prove_v by_o these_o argument_n which_o as_o they_o be_v not_o yet_o answer_v so_o i_o will_v brief_o apply_v they_o to_o the_o proof_n of_o that_o point_n which_o now_o master_n coleman_n stick_v at_o 1._o the_o church_n government_n mention_v in_o the_o covenant_n be_v as_o distinct_a from_o the_o privilege_n of_o parliament_n as_o the_o first_o article_n of_o the_o covenant_n be_v distinct_a from_o the_o three_o article_n 2._o the_o church-government_n in_o the_o first_o article_n of_o the_o covenant_n the_o reformation_n whereof_o we_o be_v to_o endeavour_v differ_v from_o church-government_n by_o archbishop_n bishop_n etc._n etc._n mention_v in_o the_o second_o article_n as_o much_o as_o a_o thing_n to_o be_v reform_v differ_v from_o a_o thing_n to_o be_v extirpate_v so_o that_o the_o church-government_n former_o use_v in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v look_v upon_o two_o way_n in_o the_o covenant_n either_o qua_fw-la church-government_n and_o so_o we_o swear_v to_o endeavour_v the_o reformation_n of_o it_o which_o i_o hope_v be_v not_o mean_v of_o reform_v that_o part_n of_o the_o privilege_n of_o parliament_n whereby_o they_o meddle_v with_o religion_n in_o a_o parliamentary_a way_n or_o qua_fw-la church-government_n by_o archbishop_n bishop_n etc._n etc._n and_o so_o we_o swear_v to_o endeavour_v the_o extirpation_n of_o it_o this_o difference_n between_o the_o first_o and_o second_o article_n between_o reformation_n and_o extirpation_n prove_v that_o the_o covenant_n do_v suppose_v that_o the_o church-government_n former_o use_v in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n in_o so_o far_o as_o it_o be_v a_o church-government_n be_v not_o eatenus_fw-la to_o be_v abolish_v but_o in_o so_o far_o as_o it_o be_v a_o corrupt_a church-government_n that_o be_v prelatical_a 3._o church-government_n in_o the_o covenant_n be_v match_v with_o doctrine_n worship_n and_o catechise_v now_o these_o be_v subjective_o different_a from_o civil_a government_n for_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n do_v not_o act_v doctrinal_o nor_o catechistical_o neither_o can_v he_o dispense_v the_o word_n and_o sacrament_n as_o master_n coleman_n acknowledge_v 4._o in_o the_o first_o part_n of_o the_o first_o article_n of_o the_o covenant_n concerning_o the_o preservation_n of_o the_o reform_a religion_n in_o the_o church_n of_o scotland_n in_o doctrine_n worship_n discipline_n and_o government_n it_o be_v uncontroverted_a that_o discipline_n and_o government_n be_v ecclesiastical_a and_o subjective_o different_a from_o civil_a government_n that_o be_v though_o divers_a who_o have_v a_o hand_n in_o the_o civil_a government_n be_v rule_v elder_n yet_o it_o be_v as_o true_a that_o divers_a member_n of_o parliament_n and_o

the_o second_o part_n of_o that_o article_n concerning_o the_o reformation_n of_o religion_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o england_n and_o ireland_n in_o doctrine_n worship_n discipline_n and_o government_n can_v so_o far_o differ_v from_o the_o first_o part_n of_o that_o article_n in_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o word_n discipline_n and_o government_n as_o that_o the_o same_o word_n in_o the_o same_o article_n of_o the_o same_o covenant_n shall_v signify_v thing_n differ_v t●to_o genere_fw-la which_o will_v follow_v unless_o discipline_n and_o government_n in_o the_o second_o branch_n and_o

the_o reformation_n of_o religion_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o england_n and_o ireland_n in_o doctrine_n worship_n discipline_n and_o government_n according_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o
