The first Part. (Book 1)
Whether it be fit yea or no, according to the Principles of true Religion and State; to settle any Church-Govern∣ment over a Kingdome hastily or not: and with the po∣wer commonly desired in the hands of the Ministers?
LEt us look deliberately upon this Querie, and to that effect let us take it into peeces. The parts thereof are three.
First, The thing whereof the Question is made.
Secondly. The Question which is made of that thing.
Thirdly, The limitations of the Thing and Question.
The thing whereof the Question is made, is, of Church-Government over the Kingdome.
The Question made hereof, or the thing sought after, is to know; Whether yea or no it be fit, that any such thing should be hastily settled?
The limitation of the thing whereof the Question is made; is, Whether the Government should be, with the Power commonly desired in the hands of the Ministers?
The limitation of the Question is; Whether that Settle∣ment can be, according to the Principles of true Religion and State?
