SECT. 1.

HAving thus discussed of the three first Ingredients, I* 1.1 shall now treat of the fourth, viz. Of the Govern∣ment which ought to be observed, for the regula∣ting of Churches so gathered.

Obj. When the Church is gathered as you desire, by whom, and by what meanes would you have it governed, so that it may agree with the will, and appointment of Jesus Christ?

Ans. To the first of your demands I answer, (and yet not I,* 1.2 but the Scripture) that it ought to governe it selfe (viz. by the reall Body thereof) and not to be governed by any particular Members set apart from the whole; or by any other Church to doe it for them, without the consent, or approbation of the whole Church.
