chiefest of the gouernours of the church must be gathered togeather and that not in an angle of a poore country Village but in the chiefest city of the Diocesse that not on a workday but either on the Lordes day or on some other of their own festiuall dayes and that for no small matters or to no small purpose but euen to present and offer vnto the Lorde an holy sacrifice and to call vpon his most holy name To present I say vnto the Lord a present meet and acceptable for his maiestie euen men meet to serue him in his spirituall warres and to be Pastours to feede his people with spirituall food of his holy word men meet to take vppon them the most highest and most noblest callinges that he hath appointed to the sonnes of men the office and dignitie of the preaching of his holy gospell This I say is the action wherof deliberate consideration is to be had and whereof followeth a discourse and wherin when all is done as it is imagined that can be done yet in truth there is nothing so nor so done they doe but flatter them selues bleare the 〈◊〉 of others and which is most execrable as it were mock and delude the Lorde to his face Well then let vs consider what is done herein In the time of

priestes and the prophetes slewe Vriah with the swoorde yet ceased not Ieremiah to stande in the Court of the Lordes house to speake vnto all the cities of Iudah all the wordes that were commaunded him to speake and kept not a word backe 2 Kin. 23. 3. When Hilkiah the priest had found the booke of the lawe and caused Iosiah to reade the same it is written that the KING stoode by the piller and made a couenant before the Lorde that he the KING and the priestes and the prophetes and all the people both small and greate should walke after the Lorde and keepe his commaundementes and his testimonies and his statutes with all their hearte and with all their soule And that the KING commaunded Hilkiah the high priest and the priestes of the seconde order to bring out of the Temple of the Lorde all the vessels that were made for Baall and for the grooue and for all the host of heauen and that the KING burnt them without Ierusalem in the fieldes of Kidron and that the KING carryed the powder of them into Bethel and that HE put downe the Chemerym and that HE brake downe the houses of the Sodomites and that HE brake the images in peeces c. When the spirite of the Lorde came vpon Azariah to tell Asa and all Iudah and Beniamin that the Lorde was with him whilest they were with him encouraged them in their affliction to turne vnto the Lorde God of Israell for that their confidence and trust in him shoulde not be frustrate but haue a rewarde Asa hearing these wordes of the prophet was encouraged and tooke away all the abhominations out of the lande of Iudah and Beniamin And King Asa deposed Maachah his mother from hir regency And Asa brake downe hir idoll and stamped it and burnt it at the brooke Kidron 2. Chro●… and king Asa did all these thinges at the councell of the Prophet Neither can the holy doctrine of the Gospell be sayde to be repugnaunt herevnto God is euer more one and the selfe same God in all ages he is euermore the authour of peace and order not of discord or disorder If therefore the Lord haue not yet gratiously opened hir maiesties eyes to vnderstand all singular misteries of his Testament or if he will some blemish to remaine in the gouernment of a faithfull Queene vnder the Gospell as it pleased him to haue blottes in the raigne of good kings in the time of the law or if he will that the aduersaries of Iudah and Beniamyn hyre counsellers to trouble their building and hinder their deuise all the dayes of Cyrus or if he will the Temple to be built in the dayes of Esra the chiefe priest but the walles to be reedified by a Eliashib and his brethren or if he will haue his Church tary his holy leasure and appoynted time or if he haue any other glorious purpose to work in our dayes by hir highnes what is that to him that is a minister of the Gospell Onely it behooueth him to be a faithfull Steward in his function For an woe hangeth ouer his head if he preach not because necessitie is layde vppon him And let him be assured that whatsoeuer is either bounde or loosed by him in earth the same is bounde and loosed by the Lorde in heauen The repentaunt and faithfull shall be forgyuen The obstinate and impenitent shall bee hardened And thus hauing deliuered my mynde touching these thinges which otherwise by synister construction might haue beene daungerous to my selfe and offensiue to others Touching the former cauill I answere as followeth First I confesse that euery one meete and apt to teach that euery one qualified as is requisit that euery one mooued inwardly by the holye Ghoste and outwardly called and appoynted by the bishop hauing authoritie by the order of this church of England in this behalfe is in deed by law a minister First because he is indeed truth a messenger sent appoynted to this office by the Lord him selfe Secondly he is a minister by the law of this land For the state of this man learned qualified and inwardly called and the state of the vnlearned vnqualified and not inwardly mooued differ as much as light darknes For where the life the learning the conuersation the paines of the former doe appeare in deede to be sincere sufficient honest and diligent euen such as the law it selfe requyreth should be in him and so the ende of the law satisfied in that behalfe in this case and for this man there is a presumption Iuris de iure of law and by law that in his outward calling and triall c. all thinges requyred by lawe were accordingly perfourmed by the bishop and so he a lawfull minister But touching the other man it is quite contrarie and therefore this presumption by law must cease Glos extrauag de prebend cum secundum Apostolum verdiceat For where his life his learning his conuersation do appeare manifestly to be vile corrupt and vnhonest and not such as the law requyreth and so the law frustrated in this case there is a presumption Iuris de iure of lawe and by lawe against him that he came to his office per surreptionem by stealth and vnorderly Letters obtayned for enioying benefices vntill it appeare they were obtayned either veritate tacita or falsitate expressa truth concealed or falsehoode expressed are good and to be obeyed but if afterwardes either of these appeare they shall bee accounted surreptitious and voyde A Bull or dispensation from the Pope authentically sealed is presumed to haue beene gotten bona fide in good faith but if in the tenor thereof appeare false latine it is then presumed to haue been obtayned per surreptionem A sentence giuen by a iudge is presumed to be a iuste iudgement and euery one for the authoritie and reuerence of the Iudge ought so to deeme of the same But in case the matter be appealed and there be found a nullitie in his processe the former presumption ceaseth and the sentence as an iniurious sentence is to be reuersed In like maner if a Bi. should make an hundreth ministers in one day for the authoritie and reuerence of the bishop and the good opinion I ought to conceiue of his vpright and sincere dealing of his holy religion and feruent zeale to the lordes house were I absent and sawe not his proceedinges to be contrary to law as I ought so I trust I should both esteeme his doinges therein to be lawfull and orderly and also reuerence those whom he had so made as messengers sent from the Lord. But if afterwarde when any of them shall come to execute his office of ministerie when he came to teach the people he shoulde then manifest him selfe to be but an Hipocrite but to haue fayned a certaine kinde of holinesse and zeale when he shall him selfe discrie his owne vnablenes and displaye his wantes were it
