This distinction if M. Doctor knoweth not / nor hath not heard of / let him look in the. 2. book of the Chronicles / he shall see / that there were a number appointed 1for the matters of the Lord / which were priests and levites / and there were other also appointed for the Kings affairs and for matters of the common wealth / amongst which were the Levites / which being more in number then could be applied to the use of the church / were set over civil causes / being therefore most fit / for that they were best learned in the laws of God / which were the politic laws of that country. There he may learn if it please him / that the making of orders and giving of judgements in civil and Ecclesiastical / in common wealth and church matters / pertained unto divers persons / which distinction the writer to the Hebrews doth note / when he sayeth that the 2Priest was ordained in things pertaining to God.
