This reason is answered two ways, and that briefly: The first is, bycause there is not at this time in euery congregation so méete men, for that office of Seniors, as there was then: for God hath not now so plentifully poured the giftes of the spirit of wise∣dome, discretion, knowledge. &c. vpon so many in euery congregation according to your owne confession, as he did then: and therefore nothing so easie to fiad in euery con∣gregation meete men to gouerne▪ a〈1 line〉〈1 line〉 it was then. Secondly, the ciuill and Christian* 1.1 Magistrate hath that whole authoritts now, that Seniors had thē, and much more, for he may punish with corporall punishment, and so could not they: he may compell and coustrayne, and so could not they: so that the Pastor may be much better ayded and assisted in doing his dutie, and in suppressing vice by the authoritie of the Chri∣stian Magistrate, than he eyther was then or could be now by the Seniors. There∣fore this reason of yours is no reason at all, but maketh directly against you, if it be well considered.
