A92173	A most grave, and modest confutation of the errors of the sect, commonly called Brownists, or: Seperatists. Agreed upon long since by the joynt consent of sundry, godly, and learned ministers of this kingdome, then standing out and suffering in the cause of inconformity; and now published in a time of need, for the good of Gods Church, and the better setling of mens unstable mindes in the truth against, the subtile insinuations, and plausible pretences of that pernicious evill. Published by W. Rathband, minister of the Gospell.	Rathband, William, d. 1695.	1644 (1644)	Wing R299; Wing M2893; Thomason E31_11; ESTC R209828	84,262	92

unlawful_a for_o we_o to_o yield_v some_o kind_n of_o obedience_n to_o bishop_n so_o do_v we_o perform_v it_o in_o our_o whole_a administration_n by_o go_v to_o their_o court_n by_o stand_v and_o fall_v at_o their_o commandment_n whereunto_o we_o answer_v first_o that_o so_o long_o as_o the_o christian_a magistrate_n require_v we_o shall_v yield_v obedience_n to_o the_o bishop_n and_o that_o with_o this_o limitation_n viz._n only_o in_o thing_n lawful_a and_o honest_a we_o think_v it_o not_o unlawful_a for_o we_o to_o give_v obedience_n to_o they_o in_o those_o thing_n they_o do_v by_o civil_a authority_n though_o neither_o themselves_o nor_o the_o magistrate_n may_v well_o require_v we_o to_o do_v for_o even_o our_o saviour_n himself_o yield_v obedience_n to_o cesar_n in_o such_o a_o thing_n wherein_o caesar_n can_v not_o lawful_o exact_a obedience_n of_o he_o as_o for_o the_o excommunication_n and_o suspention_n 27_o mat._n 17.24_o 27_o and_o such_o other_o censure_n as_o be_v mere_o ecclesiastical_a we_o answer_v as_o the_o true_a church_n of_o god_n which_o from_o the_o lord_n jesus_n have_v receive_v these_o key_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n do_v though_o unadvised_o and_o unlawful_o deliver_v they_o over_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o bishop_n and_o the_o bishop_n be_v preacher_n of_o the_o word_n though_o they_o shall_v not_o have_v this_o power_n whole_o commit_v unto_o they_o yet_o be_v they_o capable_a of_o it_o we_o see_v not_o how_o it_o shall_v be_v utter_o unlawful_a to_o reverence_n and_o yield_v to_o the_o censure_n of_o christ_n church_n be_v exercise_v and_o administer_v even_o by_o they_o unless_o we_o will_v say_v that_o the_o church_n present_o lose_v her_o right_a and_o power_n to_o censure_v offender_n when_o she_o commit_v it_o unto_o any_o such_o man_n as_o unto_o who_o of_o right_n either_o not_o at_o all_o or_o not_o of_o right_a only_o it_o belong_v second_o do_v second_o not_o bind_v ourselves_o thereto_o by_o oath_n so_o far_o as_o we_o do_v now_o as_o we_o may_v lawful_o yield_v some_o obedience_n to_o the_o bishop_n in_o these_o thing_n so_o we_o may_v lawful_o bind_v ourselves_o by_o oath_n to_o do_v it_o if_o our_o oath_n be_v require_v or_o we_o by_o the_o christian_a magistrate_n anthoririe_a especial_o see_v we_o do_v by_o oath_n bind_v ourselves_o to_o obey_v in_o regard_n of_o the_o civil_a authority_n which_o be_v commit_v to_o they_o by_o the_o christian_a magistrate_n three_o for_o our_o go_v to_o their_o court_n this_o we_o answer_v that_o see_v we_o do_v testify_v in_o our_o calling_n our_o dislike_n to_o the_o vile_a and_o odious_a corruption_n of_o their_o court_n and_o do_v also_o utter_o refuse_v to_o yield_v obedience_n to_o any_o o●_n their_o unlawful_a decree_n we_o can_v just_o be_v condemn_v for_o appear_v intheir_o court_n or_o any_o other_o place_n whereunto_o we_o be_v by_o his_o majesty_n authority_n summon_v and_o whereas_o the_o person_n before_o who_o we_o appear_v be_v judge_v usual_o corrupt_v and_o enemy_n to_o that_o reformation_n which_o we_o desire_v and_o some_o of_o they_o also_o such_o as_o be_v no_o minister_n themselves_o do_v by_o all_o mean_n seek_v the_o disgrace_n of_o our_o call_n and_o the_o utter_a discoutagement_n of_o such_o christian_n as_o in_o who_o they_o perceive_v any_o spark_n of_o true_a zeal_n we_o account_v this_o our_o appeat_n at_o their_o court_n not_o only_o for_o a_o abridgement_n of_o our_o liberty_n but_o also_o for_o such_o a_o burden_n as_o we_o have_v just_a cause_n to_o groan_n under_o and_o to_o pray_v that_o god_n will_v in_o his_o good_a time_n move_v his_o majesty_n heart_n to_o eat_v we_o of_o it_o and_o yet_o as_o the_o apostle_n be_v free_a be_v content_a for_o the_o church_n sake_n not_o only_o to_o become_v bind_v in_o serve_v it_o with_o the_o labour_n of_o his_o hand_n but_o also_o by_o subject_v himselse_a to_o those_o ceremony_n which_o in_o christ_n be_v abolish_v so_o may_v and_o ought_v we_o for_o the_o church_n sake_n to_o bear_v this_o burden_n rather_o than_o to_o forsake_v or_o refuse_v the_o ministry_n when_o the_o lord_n have_v call_v and_o fit_v we_o unto_o it_o for_o our_o yield_v to_o the_o suspention_n and_o deprivation_n we_o answer_v that_o so_o long_o as_o the_o bishop_n suspend_v and_o deprive_v according_a to_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n we_o account_v of_o the_o action_n herein_o we_o four_o to_o cease_v from_o the_o execution_n of_o our_o ministry_n when_o they_o suspend_v or_o deprive_v we_o as_o of_o the_o act_n of_o the_o church_n which_o we_o may_v and_o aught_o to_o reverence_n and_o yield_v unto_o if_o they_o do_v otherwise_o we_o have_v liberty_n give_v we_o by_o the_o law_n to_o appeal_v from_o they_o if_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o church_n be_v not_o to_o be_v obey_v when_o it_o suspend_v and_o deprive_v we_o for_o such_o cause_n as_o we_o in_o our_o conscience_n know_v to_o be_v insufficient_a we_o answer_v that_o it_o lie_v in_o they_o to_o depose_v that_o may_v ordain_v and_o they_o may_v shut_v that_o may_v open_v and_o that_o as_o he_o may_v with_o a_o good_a conscience_n execute_v a_o ministry_n by_o the_o ordination_n and_o call_v of_o the_o church_n who_o be_v privy_a to_o himself_o of_o some_o unfitnesse_n if_o the_o church_n will_v press_v he_o to_o it_o so_o may_v he_o who_o be_v privy_a to_o himself_o of_o no_o fault_n that_o deserve_v deprivation_n cease_v from_o the_o execution_n of_o his_o ministry_n when_o he_o be_v press_v thereunto_o by_o the_o church_n and_o if_o a_o guiltless_a person_n put_v out_o of_o his_o charge_n by_o the_o church_n authority_n may_v yet_o continue_v in_o it_o what_o proceed_n can_v there_o be_v against_o guilty_a person_n who_o in_o their_o own_o conceit_n be_v always_o guiltless_a or_o will_v at_o least_o pretend_v so_o to_o be_v see_v they_o also_o will_v be_v ready_a always_o to_o object_n against_o the_o church_n judgement_n that_o they_o be_v call_v of_o god_n and_o may_v not_o therefore_o give_v over_o the_o execution_n of_o their_o ministry_n at_o the_o will_n of_o man_n and_o yet_o admit_v it_o be_v mere_o unlawful_a notwithstanding_o four_o if_o this_o obedience_n we_o yield_v to_o they_o be_v utter_o unlawful_a yet_o may_v we_o be_v true_a minister_n of_o christ_n notwithstanding_o upon_o any_o respect_n to_o yield_v any_o new_a obedience_n at_o all_o to_o the_o censure_n of_o the_o bishop_n yet_o how_o will_v it_o follow_v that_o this_o our_o unlawful_a yield_v have_v force_n sufficient_a to_o make_v we_o ipso_fw-la fasto_fw-la no_o true_a minister_n unless_o you_o will_v say_v that_o the_o high_a priest_n who_o be_v in_o christ_n time_n that_o take_v and_o leave_v their_o office_n at_o the_o will_n of_o tyrant_n and_o heathen_a prince_n be_v therefore_o not_o to_o be_v account_v priest_n for_o further_a answer_n hereunto_o we_o refer_v the_o reader_n to_o that_o which_o we_o have_v above_o say_v to_o the_o four_o thing_n which_o they_o object_n against_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o our_o assembly_n and_o to_o that_o also_o which_o we_o have_v already_o answer_v unto_o the_o four_o reason_n which_o they_o bring_v against_o our_o office_n the_o speech_n of_o the_o apostl_n 6.2_o the_o speech_n of_o the_o apostle_n act_n 4.19_o 20_o 15._o most_o unskilful_o allege_v against_o we_o 1_o
