The

of
the
Church

the

of
the
Elders
,
which
are
for
the
Church
in
the
publike
actions
of
the
Church
,

of
the

or
Priest-hood

The
Presbyterie
is

consisting
of
Officers

These
Officers
are

Elders

which

the
Elders
must
teach

exhort

,
feed
,
ouersee
,
rule
,
and
lead
the
Church
,
therefore
they
may
all

:
for
that
is
a
chiefe
worke
of
feeding
,
and
applying
the
couenant
,
and
that
perticularly
.
IN
the
old
Testament
there
was
but
one
kind
of
Priests
,
who
had
all
equall
authoritie
,
to
administer
all
the
holy
things
(
excepting
the
high
Priest
,
who
typed
forth
Christ
Iesus
,
the
high
Priest
of
our
profession
:
)
So
proportionably
in
the
new
Testament
,
there
is
but
one
sort
of
Elders
,
who
succeed
the
Priests
in
the
dispensation
of
holy
things
.
As
in
the
old
Testament
there
was
the
which
consisted
of
seauentie
Ancients
,
for
the
administration
of
the
kingdome
,
which
was
a
type
of
the
visible
Church
,
all
which
Elders
in
their
first
institution
,
did
prophecie
,
and
were
of
one
kinde
vnder
So
in
the
new
Testament
vnder
Christ
Iesus
,
who
is
the
King
of
the
Church
,
there
is
a
or
Eldership
,
consisting
of
Ancients
of
one
kinde
,
who
administer
for
the
good
of
the
Church
.
If
Pastour
,
Teacher
,
Elder
,
had
beene
three
offices
formally
differing
:
the
Apostle
intending
to
teach
the
seuerall
offices
of
the
Church
,
would
haue
mentioned
them
,
but
there
he
onely
mentioneth
according
as
are
onely
of
one
sort
or
kinde
.
If
the
Apostles
had
ordained
three
kindes
of
Elders
:
they
would
haue
mentioned
them
with
their
seuerall
kindes
of
ordination
:
but
that
is
not
done
:
for
in
one
phrase
their
Election
and
ordination
is
mentioned
.
their
ordination
being
one
,
their
office
is
one
,
and
not
three
.
If
there
had
beene
three
kinds
of
Elders
at
Ephesus
,
then
the
Apostle
at
Miletum
,
would
haue
giuen
them
seuerall
charges
,
as
hauing
seuerall
duties
lying
vpon
them
:
but
the
Apostle
giueth
them
one
generall
charge
,
common
to
them
all
,
namely
,
the
dutie
of
feeding
,
the
worke
of
the
therefore
they
are
all
are
all
one
office
:
for
whereas
the
Apostle
had
spoken
distributiuely
before
of
as
intending
them
seuerall
offices
;
he
speaketh
copulatiuely
of
exagetically
teaching
that
they
are
both
one
office
.
And
lastly
,
if
all
haue
the
gifts
,
and
the
workes
of
the
and
the
ordination
;
then
they
haue
all
the
office
:
But
all
the
haue
the
the
word
of
wisedome
,
or
the
gift
of
exhortation
.
and
therfore
the
work
as
which
is
feeding
,
exhorting
,
and
so
the
same
ordination
.
Therefore
all
the
haue
the
same
office
of
the
and
so
are
all
one
sort
.
IN
this
place
,
the
maketh
two
sorts
of
Elders
first
,
those
that
rule
secondly
,
those
that
teach
and
rule
,
and
maketh
two
kindes
of
those
that
teach
.
therefore
there
are
three
kindes
of
formally
differing
each
from
other
teacheth
,
that
are
to
be
honoured
for
two
workes
:
well
ruling
,
and
laborious
or
painefull
teaching
.
And
the
place
doth
not
import
a
distribution
of
officers
,
but
a
commendation
of
seuerall
workes
of
one
office
,
and
the
speciality
consisteth
not
in
the
works
of
ruling
and
teaching
,
which
are
common
to
all
but
in
the
qualitie
well
ruling
&
painfull
teaching
;
as
if
the
should
say
are
to
be
had
in
double
honour
,
for
wise
gouernment
;
but
much
more
are
they
to
be
honoured
for
their
laborious
and
painfull
teaching
.
That
this
is
so
,
see
compared
with
the
Apostle
saith
,
euery
Bishop
must
be
and
therfore
that
some
Elders
are
onely
and
not
is
contrary
to
the
Apostles
intent
.
the
Apostle
expoundeth
to
be
able
to
exhort
with
wholesome
doctrine
,
and
to
conuince
the
gainesayers
:
how
then
shall
some
of
the
Elders
be
Rulers
onely
?
To
the
place
of
the
the
Apostle
in
it
speaketh
copulatiuely
of
one
office
,
and
exegetically
of
the
principall
work
of
the
Pastour
,
which
is
teaching
:
he
doth
not
say
,
some
Pastors
,
some
Teachers
;
but
hee
saith
Pastours
and
Teachers
:
expounding
the
former
by
the
latter
,
feeding
,
by
teaching
,
which
is
the
principall
part
of
feeding
,
and
for
which
Pastours
are
principally
commended
.
if
they
labour
therein
painfully
THe
Apostle
saith
,
there
are
diuersitie
of
Ministers
;
namely
,
one
that
hath
the
word
of
wisdome
,
another
the
word
of
knowledge
,
another
that
hath
gouernment
,
therefore
the
Eldership
consists
of
three
sorts
of
Elders
,
of
the
Pastor
that
hath
the
word
of
wisedome
;
of
the
Teacher
,
that
hath
the
word
of
knowledge
;
of
the
Ruler
,
that
hath
the
qualitie
of
gouernment
.
It
is
granted
that
there
are
diuersitie
of
Ministeries
,
as
namely
,
Apostles
,
Prophets
,
Euangelists
,
Pastors
,
Deacons
,
yet
it
followeth
not
hereupon
,
that
Elders
are
of
diuers
sorts
as
is
pleaded
.
See
The
word
signifieth
sometime
,
any
spirituall
worke
,
proceeding
from
any
member
or
officer
of
the
Church
:
as
Almes
is
called
signifieth
any
work
that
proceedeth
from
any
gift
,
so
it
may
signifie
here
,
and
all
the
workes
that
follow
almost
may
be
referred
thither
,
onely
there
are
certaine
THe
Apostle
maketh
an
opposition
betweene
Prophecie
and
an
office
,
and
maketh
fiue
kindes
of
officers
,
Pastors
,
Teachers
,
Rulers
,
Deacons
,
Widowes
.
That
is
denied
to
be
the
true
resolution
of
the
place
of
the
Romaines
;
for
although
there
be
fiue
seuerall
actions
repeated
,
yet
it
doth
not
follow
,
that
there
are
fiue
seuerall
Officers
to
performe
those
actions
;
for
one
person
may
performe
them
all
,
and
yet
be
no
Officer
,
teach
,
exhort
,
rule
,
distribute
,
shew
mercy
.
The
distributiue
particle
foure
times
repeated
in
prophecie
exhorting
and
teaching
,
importeth
thus
much
,
that
the
Apostles
intention
is
not
to
subordinate
,
teaching
and
exhorting
to
but
to
oppose
each
of
these
foure
particulers
to
other
,
as
thus
:
Prophecie
is
the
manifestation
of
a
gift
:
is
the
office
,
and
there
are
diuers
kindes
thereof
.
Teaching
is
one
action
or
worke
of
the
Prophets
or
Officers
.
Exhorting
is
another
action
or
worke
of
them
.
Hence
it
followes
that
teaching
and
exhorting
are
as
well
subordinate
to
Prophecie
,
as
to
be
the
to
these
fiue
following
,
then
I
say
,
that
signifieth
not
an
office
,
but
a
worke
,
and
of
workes
there
are
those
fiue
kindes
:
that
doth
sometime
signifie
a
worke
is
plaine
.
And
lastly
,
the
Apostle
that
knew
how
to
speake
,
would
neuer
haue
made
Teaching
and
Exhorting
members
distributiue
,
with
Prophecie
and
if
hee
had
intended
to
haue
made
them
subordinate
to
Therefore
questionlesse
that
is
not
his
intention
.

that
is

to
the

particular
Church

for
so
the
words
are
,
to
the
Angell
of
the
Church
of
Ephesus
,
&c.
It
can
neuer
be
proued
by
the
Scriptures
,
that
there
was
but
one
Pastor
in
a
Church
.
It
is
plaine
,
that
there
were
many
in
the
Church
of
Ephesus
,
(
which
was
one
of
these
seauen
Churches
)
who
did
perform
the
work
of
the
pastor
,
which
is
to
feed

with
And
therefore
there
were
many
Pastours

in
the
Church
of
Ephesus

in
All
Churches
had
Officers
of
one
sort
,
and
one
kind
of
Presbiterie

therefore
as
all
the
Elders
of
Ephesus
were
Pastors
,
so
were
all
the
Elders
of
the
sixe
Churches
of
Asia
,
and
of
all
other
Churches
wheresoeuer
in
the
world

The
Angell
of
euery
one
of
these
Churches
doth
not
signifie
one
Pastor
onely
,
in
euery
Church
;
but
eyther

of

they
were
many

And
why
not
a
principall
Pastor
of
chiefest
note
among

Colledge
of
Pastors

And
lastly
,
in
all

there
were
some
extraordinary
men
yet
liuing
in

eyther
Prophets

of
the
Church
must
haue
gifts
for
edification
,
exhortation

and
consolation

the
Pastors
of

must
haue
gifts
for
the
performance
of
the
same
workes

after
an
excellent
manner

in

measure

excelling

of

in
the
gifts
of
doctrine

may
also
excell

another
in

But
we
doe
agree
with

Therefore
are

one
.

But
the

leaue
a
Curse
where
they
come
.
Therefore
they
haue
the
truth
.
Mr.
Smiths
They
that
dayly
rend
themselues
a
sunder
,
so
one
from
another
into
diuers
parts
,
yet
being
all
of
one
constitution
,
as
they
renounce
all
spirituall
communion
together
,
&
liue
as
seuerall
bodyes
it
is
very
likely
that
such
apeople
are
not
the
church
of
God
.
But
the
Separatists
dayly
rend
themselues
so
one
from

into
diuers

,
though
they
be
all
of

constitution
,
as
they
renounce
all
spirituall

together
,
and
liue
as
seuerall

.
Therefore
the
Separatists
are
likely
not
to
be
the
Church
of
God
.
The
way
which
differeth
from
all
best
Reformed
Churches
of
Christ
in
the
world
,
which
agreeth
with
ancient
condemned
Schismaticks
,
which
is
maintained
by
great
abuse
of
Scripture
,
which
no
other
Church
of
God
in
the
world
approueth
of
,
which
godly
,
learned
and
famous
Diuines
doe
condemne
,
which
the
Lord
by
his
hand
of
iudgement
disclaimeth
,
which
hath
ill
successe
,
in
which
one
sort
of
it
rends
another
in
sunder
,
hatefully
renouncing
all
Spirituall
communion
one
with
another
,
it
is
very
likely
that
such
a
way
is
not
the
way
of
God
but
Schisme
.
But
such
is
the
way
of
the
Separation
,
as
the
particulars
which
haue
beene
proued
doe
declare
.
And
therefore
it
is
most
likely
that
the
way
of
the
Separation
is
not
the

Schisme
.

God

adorned
it

with

Godly
here
remaining

more

how
Sathan

dare
call

therfore
cannot
with
any
truth
(
retaining

separate

protest

them
that
there
is
no
