Chrift due gifts and qualihcations for the exercife of church-government and jurifdiction ; nor any promife from Chrift to be with them therein, as orncers have^ Matth. Xxviii. 18, IQ, 20. And the abfurdities of fuch popular government are intolerable, as after will appear. 4. Finally, in what fenfe can it be imagined that any fuch pow- er fhould be committed from Chrift to the community of the faithful, the whole body of the church ? For this power is given them equally with the church- guides..., or unequally, if equally, then, 1. The church-guides have power and authority, as prima- rilv and immediately committed to them, as the church herfelf hath ; and then they need not derive or borrow any power from, the body of the faithful, having a power equal to theirs. 2. How vainly is that power equally given as to the ofHcers, fo to the whole multitude, when the whole multitude have no equal gifts and abilities to execute the fame ? If unequally, then this power is derived to the church-guides, either more or lefs than to the multitude of the faithful.
