Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Collections of the Massachusetts Historical Society, Vol. 3 21. If the Parson should not rule alone ordinarily, why should the principall leaders rule ordinarily alone without the advise and assistance of a competent number of their Presbyters, who may afford them counsell? Did not the holy Apostles advise with the Elders sometimes? is it safe for them or the whole? 22. But were there any Bishops superintendent, over other Bishops, or Presbyters, in the first hundred years after Christs birth? Did not Saint Iames write his Generall Epistle to the twelve [p.62.] Tribes, which were then scattered abroad, no doubt, in many places, and therein mention for Rulers, onely Elders? and S. Peter write his generall Epistle, and therein direct or command the Elders not to over-rule the flock, the Lords inheritance? where was the Order of Bishops? had not the Elders the rule? might they not else have returned answer, that the command concerned not them, but a certaine Order of men, called Bishops, above us? 23. Were not the Apostles and Evangelists then living, Bishops, and superintendent overseers? had they not the care of all the Churches, in their lines? did not, these holy Apostles, S. Iames and S. Peter, mention their owne names, in their Epistles? is it not plain, that Peter had over-sight upon those to whom he wrote, to see that they did not over-rule, and take account of them, if they did? And did the Lord ordaine there should be such a superintendencie, onely for an 80. years, and not some equall correspondent superspection also in after-ages, when those extraordinary men should cease?
