In the defence of a short paper published by the first classis within the province of Lancaster ... but since printed without their privity or consent, after it had been assaulted by some gentlemen and others within their bounds ... under the title of Ex-communicatio excommunicata, or a Censure of the presbyterian censures and proceedings, in the classis at Manchester.

presbyterian_a government_n be_v still_o in_o force_n and_o that_o those_o rule_v lay_v down_o in_o they_o awarrant_v all_o our_o act_n and_o particular_o what_o we_o have_v publish_v in_o our_o several_a congregation_n in_o our_o paper_n and_o which_o whosoever_o do_v not_o so_o start_v at_o because_o they_o be_v ordinance_n of_o parliament_n but_o that_o he_o keep_v in_o his_o right_a mind_n he_o will_v see_v to_o be_v different_a thing_n but_o you_o do_v still_o go_v on_o with_o your_o flout_n and_o will_v needs_o have_v it_o to_o be_v that_o we_o go_v about_o to_o prove_v which_o be_v your_o own_o phrase_n and_o not_o we_o our_o government_n to_o be_v establish_v by_o civil_a authority_n the_o first_o work_n we_o take_v in_o hand_n and_o that_o we_o be_v no_o further_o yet_o but_o go_v about_o to_o prove_v your_o own_o phrase_n again_o as_o if_o the_o matter_n must_v needs_o be_v as_o you_o say_v it_o be_v or_o therefore_o true_a because_o you_o represent_v it_o to_o be_v so_o after_o a_o scoff_a manner_n five_o and_o when_o you_o have_v thus_o please_v yourselves_o with_o your_o taunt_a expression_n you_o now_o will_v profess_v to_o do_v we_o a_o kindness_n be_v willing_a to_o conduct_v we_o if_o possible_a into_o the_o good_a old_a way_n again_o by_o take_v off_o our_o government_n from_o the_o establishment_n of_o authority_n upon_o the_o proof_n whereof_o as_o you_o say_v so_o great_a a_o part_n of_o our_o answer_n do_v insist_v but_o see_v the_o way_n you_o herein_o go_v as_o will_v appear_v anon_o do_v quite_o overthrow_v all_o other_o ordinance_n of_o parliament_n as_o well_o as_o those_o that_o be_v for_o the_o establishment_n of_o the_o presbyterian_a government_n you_o must_v excuse_v we_o though_o upon_o your_o most_o earnest_a entreaty_n we_o dare_v not_o follow_v you_o in_o this_o your_o way_n be_v w●ll_n assure_v we_o shall_v be_v then_o indeed_o out_o of_o our_o way_n quite_o six_o but_o now_o you_o come_v to_o answer_v to_o the_o order_n and_o ordinance_n of_o parliament_n by_o unrecited_a and_o so_o to_o the_o ordinance_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o commons_o assemble_v in_o parliament_n aug_n 29._o 1648_o establish_v the_o form_n of_o church_n government_n to_o be_v use_v in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o ireland_n and_o which_o remain_v as_o we_o say_v unrepealed_a to_o this_o day_n and_o receive_v strength_n by_o the_o humble_a advice_n assent_v to_o by_o his_o late_a highness_n and_o which_o ordinance_n be_v by_o we_o more_o especial_o insist_v on_o but_o what_o be_v it_o that_o you_o allege_v to_o take_v away_o the_o strength_n of_o any_o ordinance_n of_o parliament_n that_o we_o make_v mention_v of_o in_o our_o answer_n in_o the_o first_o place_n you_o tell_v we_o that_o when_o we_o speak_v of_o a_o government_n establish_v by_o law_n you_o hope_v we_o mean_v such_o as_o have_v the_o strength_n and_o force_n of_o a_o law_n to_o bind_v the_o free_a bear_v people_n of_o this_o nation_n and_o thereupon_o you_o question_n whether_o our_o ordinance_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o commons_o though_o unrepealed_a to_o this_o day_n be_v of_o that_o force_n and_o touch_v this_o you_o refer_v we_o to_o the_o judgement_n and_o resolution_n of_o the_o sage_n of_o the_o law_n affirm_v that_o nothing_o can_v have_v the_o force_n of_o a_o law_n to_o bind_v the_o people_n without_o the_o concurrent_a consent_n of_o the_o three_o estate_n in_o parliament_n and_o you_o instance_n particular_o in_o the_o lord_n cook_n and_o several_a passage_n in_o his_o institutes_n in_o answer_n unto_o all_o which_o we_o must_v needs_o in_o the_o first_o place_n as_o we_o do_v in_o our_o answer_n to_o your_o first_o paper_n apologise_v good_a for_o ourselves_o that_o be_v no_o lawyer_n we_o shall_v not_o take_v upon_o we_o to_o determine_v any_o law_n case_n and_o that_o our_o cause_n in_o this_o particular_a be_v fit_a to_o be_v plead_v by_o the_o learned_a in_o the_o law_n that_o have_v far_o better_a ability_n for_o it_o than_o we_o have_v only_o till_o some_o of_o these_o undertake_v in_o this_o particular_a to_o plead_v for_o we_o we_o hope_v we_o may_v be_v allow_v free_o to_o speak_v for_o ourselves_o and_o here_o we_o shall_v not_o say_v all_o that_o we_o can_v much_o less_o what_o person_n better_a able_a to_o deal_v in_o a_o argument_n of_o this_o nature_n might_n but_o that_o which_o we_o shall_v say_v be_v first_o something_o in_o the_o general_a then_o we_o shall_v proceed_v to_o answer_v more_o particular_o in_o the_o general_a we_o say_v two_o thing_n 1._o that_o if_o the_o ordinance_n of_o parliament_n for_o church_n government_n be_v of_o no_o force_n because_o there_o be_v not_o the_o concurent_fw-fr consent_n of_o three_o estate_n to_o the_o make_n of_o they_o than_o all_o ordinance_n of_o parliament_n without_o exception_n of_o any_o be_v null_n and_o void_a and_o of_o no_o force_n to_o bind_v the_o people_n as_o well_o as_o those_o that_o concern_v church_n government_n and_o so_o it_o concern_v all_o committee_n that_o have_v be_v throughout_o the_o land_n and_o those_o that_o have_v act_v under_o they_o or_o do_v yet_o act_v and_o all_o judge_n and_o justice_n that_o have_v act_v or_o do_v act_n upon_o any_o ordinance_n of_o parliament_n to_o consider_v what_o they_o have_v to_o say_v to_o what_o you_o do_v here_o allege_v against_o their_o proceed_n as_o well_o as_o against_o we_o nay_o then_o the_o act_n make_v anno_fw-la 1650_o for_o relief_n of_o religious_a and_o peaceable_a people_n that_o yet_o be_v afterward_o much_o insist_v on_o by_o you_o be_v of_o no_o force_n for_o to_o that_o questionless_a there_o be_v not_o the_o concurrent_a consent_n of_o three_o estate_n in_o parliament_n 2._o that_o the_o parliament_n themselves_o who_o make_v these_o ordinance_n declare_v that_o the_o king_n have_v not_o only_o withdraw_v himself_o from_o the_o parliament_n but_o levy_v war_n against_o it_o salus_fw-la populi_fw-la be_v suprema_fw-la lex_fw-la and_o thereupon_o by_o ordinance_n of_o parliament_n they_o proceed_v to_o settle_v the_o affair_n both_o of_o church_n and_o state_n without_o his_o consent_n yea_o and_o to_o repeal_v some_o former_a act_n and_o as_o they_o do_v express_o when_o they_o pass_v the_o ordinance_n for_o the_o directory_n for_o worship_n repeal_n the_o act_n of_o parliament_n that_o have_v be_v pass_v former_o for_o the_o book_n of_o common_a prayer_n as_o appear_v by_o their_o ordinance_n for_o that_o purpose_n of_o jan._n 3_o 1644._o and_o also_o when_o they_o pass_v another_o ordinance_n octob._n 9_o 1646._o for_o the_o abolish_n of_o arch-bishop_n and_o bishop_n within_o the_o kingdom_n of_o england_n and_o dominion_n of_o w●les_n by_o which_o they_o be_v express_o disenable_v to_o use_v or_o put_v in_o ure_n any_o archiepiscopall_a or_o episcopal_a jurisdiction_n or_o authority_n by_o force_n of_o any_o letter_n patent_n from_o the_o crown_n make_v or_o to_o be_v make_v or_o by_o any_o other_o authority_n whatsoever_o any_o law_n statute_n usage_n or_o custom_n to_o the_o contrary_a notwithstanding_o as_o appear_v from_o the_o very_a word_n of_o that_o ordinance_n and_o if_o we_o forget_v not_o it_o be_v by_o they_o in_o those_o time_n further_o declare_v that_o however_o the_o king_n have_v withdraw_v his_o person_n from_o the_o parliament_n yet_o his_o royal_a authority_n can_v not_o be_v withdraw_v but_o we_o know_v that_o what_o the_o parliament_n in_o those_o day_n act_v in_o the_o pass_v those_o and_o such_o like_a ordinance_n be_v approve_v by_o the_o sage_n of_o the_o law_n that_o in_o those_o time_n adhere_v to_o the_o parliament_n and_o this_o will_v now_o lead_v we_o to_o return_v our_o more_o particular_a answer_n to_o what_o you_o present_v for_o to_o take_v away_o the_o oblige_a force_n of_o ordinance_n of_o parliament_n and_o therefore_o 1._o we_o say_v that_o that_o long_a parliament_n as_o you_o call_v it_o who_o do_v so_o much_o honour_v the_o lord_n cook_n as_o to_o publish_v his_o work_n by_o their_o special_a appointment_n do_v so_o well_o understand_v he_o that_o they_o be_v well_o assure_v there_o be_v not_o any_o thing_n in_o they_o that_o condemn_v their_o proceed_n as_o illegal_a as_o on_o the_o contrary_a we_o do_v thereupon_o conceive_v that_o if_o he_o have_v be_v alive_a in_o those_o time_n he_o will_v have_v justify_v they_o and_o further_o we_o say_v under_o correction_n that_o all_o yovalledg_n out_o of_o he_o be_v and_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v in_o case_n ordinary_a not_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o time_n when_o the_o ordinance_n for_o church_n government_n and_o other_o ordinance_n for_o the_o settle_v the_o affair_n of_o the_o nation_n be_v pass_v when_o the_o king_n have_v withdraw_v himself_o from_o the_o parliament_n and_o levy_v war_n against_o it_o 2._o but_o to_o add_v some_o further_a confirmation_n
