The church of the other side riseth against him / for that he maketh Christ less careful for her / then he was for that under the law. For tell me in the whole volume of the Testament is there any kind or degree of ministry / whereof God is not the certain and express author? was there ever any man (I except Jeroboam and such profane men) either so holy / or so wise / or of such great knowledge / that ever did so much as dream of instituting of a new ministry? After the long wandering of the Ark in the wilderness / when it came to be placed in Jerusalem / tell me if any besides the Levites and Priests / the ordinary ministers / and the Prophets which were immediately stirred up of God / were found to have ordained any office or title / which was not commanded / or whether there was at any time any thing added / or enjoined to those offices of priesthood and Leviteship / which was not by the law prescribed.

All men know that the Ark of Noah / was a figure of the church. Noah ¹was both a wise and a godly man / yet what doth the Lord leave to his wisdom / when as he appointeth the matter / the form / the length / the breadth / the height / the wood / the kind and sort of wood.
