The Preacher sent OR A VINDICATION Of the Liberty of PUBLICK PREACHING By some men not Ordained In Answer to two Books 1. Jus Divinum Ministerii Euangelici By the Provincial Assembly of LONDON 2. Vindiciae Ministerii Euangelici By Mr. John Collings of Norwich Published by Iohn Martin Minister of the Gospel at Edgfield in Norfolk Sam. Petto Minister of the Gospel at Sand-croft in Suffolk Frederick Woodal Minister of the Gospel at Woodbridge in Suffolk LONDON Printed for Livewel Chapman and are to be sold at the Crown in Popes-Head-ally 1658 To all faithful Ministers and truely Christian People professing the Order of Church-fellowship and Government called Presbyterian Beloved Brethren IT 's surely an error in practise when upon a plea of error in judgment men write actually and effectually one against another discharging themselves as guns loaden with prejudice wrath and discontent giving out but little light yet roaring and wounding exceeding much We desire to be found innocent from this transgression and do present what we have written as for you and not against you having had it in our hearts to design if possible some communication of light however some provocation of Love whilst you see our help from the seeming at least but to us real countenance of the Scripture you may finde reason to beleeve we are nes presumptuously wilful though extremely weak We may not conceal two things as heavy weights upon our spirits when the Lord was calling us out to minister unto him in the publication of this work which though we have been inabled to cast from us yet we are jealous lest they may lie as stones of stumbling in your way and obtain sentence of condemnation to pass upon us as criminals before you have heard us plead our cause 1. The exceeding great abuse of that liberty we plead for whereupon we had almost said Let us not do good lest evil come thereof But in this we were satisfied considering 1. That the having and reading the Scriptures in our tongue is the first occasion of the manifold errors and divisions found amongst us yet the loss of that liberty would be an intolerable loss 2. Did Ordination pass upon every Preacher there is no such virtue in it to make pure or to keep pure as some vessels under that mark bring us gold and silver so some are loaden with little else but apes and peacocks 3. The allowableness of an act is founded in the authority by which it is performed when attended with dueness of circumstance not in issue success or uncertain event the active humiliation of our blessed Lord was the greatest-stumbling block and an occasion of the saddest blasphemy to the Nation of the Jews that ever any people were acquainted with yet therein he was obedient and therefore honored Phil. 2. 6 7 8 9. 4. Such men as are through Grace 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 taught of God and through gift 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 apt to teach are as vines and fig-●●es where the cursed fruit of error and division with obstinacy persisted in is not found and for such only we plead 2. That we hereby keep open bleeding wounds which had need be healed the answer whereunto we trust also of a good conscience is this It is a duty to contend Jude 3. although to be conte●tious is sin a contending Spirit may be healing a contentious spirit is w●unding evermore We profess our selves bound for peace as far as the shooes of the Gospel will carry us and say with Calvin Opranda quidem est pax summoque Caivin de v●ra Christianae pacifi●●●●●is ●cclesiae reformandera●ione studio querenda sed p●tius quam redimatur ulla pietati● au● veritatis jactura Coelumterra si●pus est misceatur And because the many controversies concerning Officers issue from a diverse apprehension of the nature of the Church it self we shall crave leave in a few words to give an account of our perswasion thereabout with the grounds and reasons thereof It is unto us clear as the shining light That a Church formed unto fellowship in New-Testament-Ordinances we would not found a controversie upon a word a Church capable of Officers immediately to be set in it and over it who may take heed to all the flock oversee and feed it which also must know Act 20. 28. 1 Thes 5. 12 13. Heb. 13. 7 17. them obey and submit unto them as to such as watch for their souls is a particular company of Saints in mutual union for mutual fellowship in the means of worship appointed by Christ for the glory of God the edification of their own souls and the good of others 1. It 's a company one cannot be a Church Tell the Church is not Tell the Bishop though some have had it and still would have it so 2. It 's a particular company indeed there never was never will be a company existing in rerum naturâ any other then a particular company we grant an Universal company of Saints in a reformed sense comprehending ever individual Saint-member thereof whether formed unto fellowship or unformed but as Saints not as Churches of Saints as the world is universal of which all Creatures are a part yet did a man stand where he might see all Countreys and all Creatures he should see but a particular world really particular but intellectually Universal so when all Saints shall be gathered together at the right hand of the Lord ther shall be seen a particular company of Saints really particular though intellectually universal this being apprehended viz. here are all there are no more it 's otherwise with Companies of Saints formed into fellowship did a manstand where he might see all Corporations all particular civil Societies of men he might acknowledge the general nature of Corporations existing in either of them and yet deny an universal Corporation consisting of them as parts thereof So were all the particular Churches represented to his view at once he might grant that the universal Universalis natura est una in multis nature of a Church is in either of them yet deny an universal Church consisting of them as parts thereof Neither can we understand how that Scripture 1 Cor. 12. 28. so often pressed into the service of the Catholick Church can be found really a friend thereunto for God hath set some in the Church is equivalent to that which is written ver 18. God hath set the members every one in the Body now if this hath no strength God hath set the members in the Body Ergo There is a Catholick Body then this is weak God hath set some in the Church Ergo There is a Catholick Church And let not our Brethren impute it to a spirit of faction and division in us that we renounce the name and thing of a Church of Churches or of such a visible Catholick Church for 1. Every part is incompleat not having the power of a whole in it but every particular
