Order both in Church and State commanded and commended. [ 411]
GOd is not the God of confusion, but of order; Confusion is from the Devil, Or∣der is from God;* 1.1 especially in the Church, which St. Paul resembles to our body,* 1.2 wherein the parts are fitly disposed, and every one keepeth his place; The eye,* 1.3 the hand, the foot; one usurpeth not the function of another: In answerable∣ness whereunto, the Apostle telleth us, That all are not Prophets, all are not Ap••stles, and exhorts all men,* 1.4 As God hath called them, so to walk; A good rule for these un∣ruly times,* 1.5 wherein the hands, yea, and the feet too, play Rex, and take up the room of the Head, and every man thi••keth himself fit to be a Teacher, both by his pen and tongu••, whose place notwithstanding is amongst the learners.
