answer_v in_o mr._n ferguson_n chapter_n of_o union_n and_o then_o his_o scurrilous_a reflection_n and_o childish_a impertinency_n will_v need_v no_o answer_n the_o two_o first_o proposition_n which_o i_o lay_v down_o in_o order_n to_o explain_v our_o union_n to_o christ_n be_v these_o first_o that_o those_o metaphor_n which_o describe_v the_o relation_n and_o union_n between_o christ_n and_o christian_n do_v primary_o refer_v to_o the_o christian_a church_n not_o to_o every_o individual_a christian._n and_o second_o that_o the_o union_n of_o particular_a christian_n to_o christ_n be_v by_o mean_n of_o their_o union_n to_o the_o christian_a church_n which_o mr._n ferguson_n tell_v we_o be_v 597._o in_o his_o opinion_n thing_n coincident_a if_o by_o coincident_a he_o mean_v that_o one_o follow_v from_o the_o other_o i_o ready_o grant_v it_o but_o if_o he_o mean_v that_o the_o proposition_n be_v the_o same_o which_o have_v neither_o the_o same_o subject_n nor_o predicate_v he_o may_v have_v spare_v his_o reflection_n either_o upon_o my_o logic_n or_o accuracy_n of_o write_v as_o be_v a_o very_a incompetent_a judge_n of_o either_o but_o the_o proposition_n be_v distinct_a and_o prove_v by_o different_a medium_n that_o which_o prove_v the_o first_o proposition_n do_v not_o immediate_o prove_v the_o second_o though_o mr._n ferguson_n will_v persuade_v the_o world_n that_o i_o have_v argue_v at_o 611._o that_o inconsequent_a rate_n and_o charge_v my_o logic_n with_o the_o miscarriage_n and_o failure_n of_o his_o own_o which_o be_v the_o most_o effectual_a way_n he_o can_v take_v to_o make_v it_o ridiculous_a and_o yet_o after_o he_o have_v charge_v they_o with_o be_v coincident_a proposition_n which_o signify_v the_o same_o thing_n at_o the_o very_a next_o turn_n he_o be_v so_o far_o from_o own_v they_o coincident_a that_o he_o will_v not_o allow_v one_o to_o be_v so_o much_o as_o a_o just_a consequent_a from_o the_o other_o for_o have_v recite_v that_o paragraph_n whereby_o i_o prove_v that_o the_o metaphor_n which_o describe_v the_o relation_n and_o union_n between_o christ_n and_o christian_n do_v primary_o refer_v to_o the_o christian_a church_n not_o to_o every_o individual_a christian_a he_o add_v to_o this_o i_o answer_v 1._o that_o be_v this_o discourse_n of_o our_o author_n frame_v into_o a_o syllogism_n the_o incongruity_n between_o the_o conclusion_n and_o premise_n will_v easy_o appear_v for_o example_n christ_n be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n ergo_fw-la no_o particular_a believer_n be_v unite_v to_o he_o but_o by_o mean_n of_o their_o union_n with_o the_o church_n let_v we_o learn_v then_o how_o he_o disprove_v it_o i_o deny_v say_v he_o the_o consequent_a i_o suppose_v he_o will_v have_v say_v consequence_n have_v he_o understand_v the_o difference_n of_o those_o logical_a term_n his_o reason_n be_v this_o sure_o though_o the_o king_n be_v immediate_a head_n to_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n yet_o he_o be_v immediate_a head_n to_o every_o individual_a person_n in_o it_o as_o for_o that_o word_n immediate_n i_o shall_v let_v it_o alone_o till_o anon_o but_o our_o author_n say_v very_o right_a the_o king_n be_v the_o head_n of_o every_o subject_a as_o well_o as_o of_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n and_o so_o be_v christ_n the_o head_n of_o every_o particular_a christian_a as_o well_o as_o of_o the_o whole_a church_n but_o this_o be_v not_o the_o thing_n in_o controversy_n the_o question_n be_v whether_o a_o king_n who_o be_v head_n only_o of_o his_o own_o kingdom_n can_v be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o head_n of_o any_o single_a person_n who_o be_v not_o of_o his_o kingdom_n and_o therefore_o whether_o such_o a_o person_n must_v not_o first_o be_v incorporate_v into_o his_o kingdom_n before_o he_o can_v be_v relate_v to_o the_o king_n as_o his_o head_n thus_o christ_n be_v primary_o style_v a_o head_n with_o reference_n to_o his_o whole_a church_n which_o be_v his_o body_n and_o therefore_o those_o who_o be_v not_o of_o this_o church_n and_o body_n can_v be_v relate_v to_o he_o as_o to_o their_o head_n the_o only_a way_n to_o be_v relate_v to_o christ_n as_o our_o head_n be_v to_o be_v incorporate_v into_o his_o church_n which_o be_v his_o body_n for_o no_o head_n have_v relation_n to_o any_o member_n which_o be_v not_o unite_v to_o its_o own_o body_n but_o our_o author_n proceed_v 2._o the_o church_n and_o its_o individual_a member_n be_v of_o a_o homogenous_a nature_n what_o soever_o be_v praedicat_v essential_o of_o the_o whole_a be_v equal_o praedicat_v of_o every_o part_n if_o by_o this_o he_o only_a mean_n that_o christ_n may_v as_o well_o be_v call_v the_o head_n of_o particular_a christian_n as_o of_o the_o whole_a christian_a church_n i_o ready_o grant_v it_o though_o it_o be_v nothing_o to_o the_o purpose_n but_o the_o proposition_n be_v the_o most_o absurd_a and_o senseless_a that_o ever_o be_v frame_v a_o river_n be_v a_o homogeneous_a body_n and_o yet_o every_o drop_n of_o water_n can_v be_v call_v a_o river_n the_o union_n of_o several_a thing_n of_o the_o same_o nature_n give_v they_o a_o new_a denomination_n which_o can_v belong_v to_o every_o particular_a a_o kingdom_n consist_v of_o a_o great_a many_o man_n who_o be_v as_o much_o of_o the_o same_o homogeneous_a nature_n as_o man_n as_o christian_n be_v as_o they_o be_v christian_n and_o yet_o every_o particular_a man_n can_v be_v call_v a_o kingdom_n the_o body_n of_o christ_n consist_v of_o a_o great_a many_o particular_a christian_n and_o yet_o every_o christian_a be_v not_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n and_o beside_o this_o it_o be_v fulsom_o absurd_a to_o say_v that_o the_o church_n and_o its_o individual_a member_n be_v of_o a_o homogeneous_a nature_n for_o the_o church_n be_v a_o organise_v body_n which_o consist_v of_o several_a christian_n who_o consider_v as_o member_n be_v of_o as_o different_a a_o nature_n as_o the_o hand_n and_o eye_n and_o foot_n which_o be_v of_o different_a use_n necessity_n and_o honour_n so_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o 1_o cor._n 12._o 12_o 13_o 14_o etc._n etc._n for_o as_o the_o body_n be_v one_o and_o have_v many_o

which_o no_o man_n yet_o think_v to_o be_v of_o a_o homogeneous_a nature_n till_o mr._n ferguson_n bless_v the_o world_n with_o this_o discovery_n his_o three_o and_o four_o argument_n proceed_v upon_o the_o same_o mistake_n and_o indeed_o be_v the_o very_a same_o in_o terminis_fw-la that_o every_o member_n of_o the_o body_n as_o well_o as_o the_o

effect_n the_o salvation_n of_o mankind_n but_o this_o trouble_v he_o too_o that_o i_o say_v they_o be_v the_o different_a administration_n of_o this_o mediatory_a kingdom_n for_o say_v our_o author_n be_v a_o office_n a_o administration_n no_o by_o no_o mean_n therefore_o i_o say_v they_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v look_v on_o as_o different_a office_n but_o as_o different_a administration_n of_o the_o same_o supreme_a office_n which_o comprehend_v they_o all_o but_o then_o he_o will_v fain_o know_v what_o kind_n of_o totum_fw-la a_o mediatory_a kingdom_n be_v to_o the_o office_n of_o prophet_n priest_n and_o king_n why_o sir_n just_o such_o a_o totum_fw-la as_o consist_v of_o three_o part_n his_o mistake_n which_o occasion_n this_o wonder_a humour_n be_v that_o he_o think_v a_o mediatory_a kingdom_n and_o the_o office_n of_o a_o king_n to_o be_v of_o equal_a extent_n and_o therefore_o that_o the_o office_n of_o a_o king_n can_v not_o be_v contain_v under_o a_o mediatory_a kingdom_n as_o a_o part_n be_v contain_v in_o the_o whole_a whereas_o every_o puny_a in_o divinity_n know_v that_o a_o mediatory_a kingdom_n be_v of_o a_o large_a extent_n than_o the_o mere_a office_n of_o a_o king_n and_o contain_v the_o prophetical_a and_o priestly_a office_n under_o it_o which_o be_v like_o another_o of_o his_o mistake_n that_o because_o as_o he_o observe_v from_o doctor_n jackson_n and_o doctor_n hammond_n christ_n be_v consecrate_v to_o his_o priestly_a office_n by_o his_o suffering_n and_o death_n therefore_o he_o be_v not_o consecrate_v to_o his_o mediatory_a office_n as_o i_o assert_v by_o be_v anoint_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o with_o power_n as_o if_o christ_n may_v not_o have_v a_o general_a consecration_n to_o his_o mediatory_a office_n and_o a_o particular_a consecration_n to_o the_o particular_a part_n of_o it_o though_o doctor_n hammond_n only_o say_v that_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n be_v his_o consecration_n to_o his_o melchisedechi_n a_o priesthood_n but_o be_v itself_o a_o act_n of_o his_o aaronical_a priesthood_n but_o i_o see_v the_o most_o innocent_a expression_n shall_v not_o escape_v the_o severe_a censure_n 388._o when_o we_o have_v to_o deal_v with_o man_n who_o can_v understand_v nothing_o which_o be_v out_o of_o their_o common_a road_n of_o phrase_n mr._n ferguson_n draw_v up_o a_o very_a severe_a charge_n against_o i_o upon_o this_o score_n as_o if_o i_o confound_v the_o office_n of_o christ_n and_o deny_v his_o priesthood_n and_o his_o expiation_n and_o sacrifice_n and_o yet_o will_v have_v the_o world_n believe_v that_o if_o he_o have_v not_o be_v in_o a_o very_a good_a humour_n he_o can_v have_v handle_v i_o after_o another_o rate_n true_o what_o his_o humour_n be_v i_o can_v tell_v but_o i_o be_o sure_a that_o either_o his_o understanding_n or_o his_o conscience_n be_v not_o very_o good_a he_o take_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o laudable_a pain_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o office_n of_o prophet_n priest_n and_o king_n though_o they_o be_v not_o separate_v in_o their_o subject_n the_o person_n of_o christ_n yet_o they_o be_v in_o their_o nature_n object_n act_n and_o effect_n distinguish_v one_o from_o the_o other_o but_o do_v i_o any_o where_o deny_v this_o because_o i_o say_v that_o they_o be_v several_a part_n and_o different_a administration_n of_o his_o mediatory_a kingdom_n do_v it_o hence_o follow_v that_o they_o be_v not_o several_a part_n and_o different_a administration_n that_o they_o do_v not_o differ_v in_o their_o nature_n act_n and_o effect_n as_o for_o instance_n the_o paternal_a government_n consist_v of_o very_o different_a part_n as_o the_o education_n of_o child_n provide_v food_n and_o raiment_n for_o they_o correct_v they_o when_o they_o do_v amiss_o and_o encourage_v their_o virtue_n place_v they_o with_o prudent_a master_n and_o governor_n and_o provide_v for_o their_o future_a subsistence_n and_o the_o like_a now_o will_v any_o man_n say_v that_o there_o be_v no_o difference_n between_o feed_v child_n and_o correct_v they_o and_o send_v they_o to_o school_n and_o put_v they_o out_o to_o serve_v a_o apprenticeship_n to_o a_o trade_n whereby_o they_o may_v get_v their_o live_n because_o all_o these_o do_v equal_o belong_v to_o a_o father_n care_n and_o be_v contain_v under_o the_o general_a notion_n of_o paternal_a government_n thus_o when_o we_o say_v that_o christ_n be_v a_o saviour_n or_o which_o be_v the_o same_o thing_n a_o mediatory_a king_n and_o that_o the_o office_n of_o prophet_n priest_n and_o king_n be_v but_o the_o several_a part_n and_o different_a administration_n of_o his_o mediatory_a kingdom_n that_o be_v they_o be_v all_o essential_a to_o the_o office_n of_o a_o saviour_n and_o include_v in_o the_o notion_n of_o it_o and_o necessary_a to_o the_o same_o end_n the_o salvation_n of_o mankind_n can_v any_o man_n hence_o reasonable_o infer_v that_o they_o do_v not_o differ_v in_o their_o particular_a nature_n act_n 392._o object_n and_o effect_n but_o mr._n ferguson_n prove_v that_o i_o make_v no_o difference_n between_o christ_n priestly_a and_o kingly_a office_n because_o i_o say_v that_o christ_n offering_n himself_o a_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n be_v a_o act_n of_o kingship_n but_o i_o say_v no_o such_o thing_n my_o word_n be_v these_o when_o he_o offer_v himself_o a_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n he_o act_v like_o a_o king_n now_o can_v our_o author_n perceive_v no_o difference_n between_o these_o two_o expression_n that_o christ_n offering_n himself_o a_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n be_v a_o act_n of_o kingship_n and_o when_o he_o offer_v himself_o a_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n he_o act_v like_o a_o king_n the_o first_o signify_v that_o the_o nature_n of_o his_o sacrifice_n and_o oblation_n consist_v in_o the_o exercise_n of_o a_o regal_a power_n which_o indeed_o confound_v his_o priestly_a and_o kingly_a office_n the_o other_o only_o signify_v that_o at_o the_o very_a same_o time_n and_o in_o that_o very_a act_n when_o he_o offer_v himself_o a_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n he_o exercise_v the_o power_n of_o a_o king_n too_o that_o be_v as_o i_o explain_v it_o that_o his_o life_n be_v not_o take_v from_o he_o by_o external_a force_n and_o power_n but_o his_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n be_v a_o act_n of_o authority_n he_o have_v power_n to_o lay_v it_o down_o and_o he_o have_v power_n to_o take_v it_o again_o and_o i_o wonder_v mr._n ferguson_n shall_v think_v it_o any_o derogation_n from_o our_o saviour_n power_n and_o authority_n that_o he_o add_v

obedience_n with_o respect_n to_o god_n and_o authority_n and_o power_n with_o respect_n to_o men._n and_o have_v this_o author_n be_v so_o honest_a as_o to_o have_v consider_v what_o i_o immediate_o subjoin_v he_o can_v not_o have_v suspect_v i_o of_o socinianize_a or_o of_o confound_v the_o priestly_a and_o kingly_a office_n viz._n herein_o christ_n differ_v from_o other_o king_n that_o he_o lay_v the_o foundation_n of_o his_o kingdom_n in_o his_o own_o blood_n that_o he_o purchase_v and_o redeem_v his_o subject_n with_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o himself_o such_o another_o mistake_v one_o may_v observe_v in_o our_o author_n when_o he_o make_v i_o to_o say_v 395._o that_o the_o sacerdotal_a office_n be_v only_o a_o part_n and_o different_a administration_n of_o the_o regal_a whereas_o i_o never_o think_v that_o the_o sacerdotal_a office_n be_v part_n of_o the_o regal_a office_n but_o that_o the_o priestly_a and_o kingly_a and_o prophetical_a office_n be_v several_a part_n and_o different_a administration_n of_o the_o mediatory_a kingdom_n and_o when_o i_o affirm_v that_o they_o be_v several_a part_n of_o the_o mediatory_a kingdom_n i_o have_v not_o so_o little_a wit_n in_o the_o same_o breath_n to_o affirm_v that_o they_o be_v part_n of_o each_o other_o which_o be_v a_o downright_a contradiction_n but_o i_o see_v our_o author_n with_o all_o his_o learning_n can_v distinguish_v between_o a_o kingly_a office_n and_o a_o mediatory_a kingdom_n in_o the_o like_a manner_n he_o arraigns_n i_o for_o a_o 393._o socinian_n for_o assert_v that_o intercession_n signify_v the_o administration_n of_o christ_n mediatory_a kingdom_n the_o power_n of_o a_o regal_a priest_n to_o expiate_v and_o forgive_v sin_n though_o either_o our_o author_n be_v very_o ignorant_a or_o
