2. It is to be supposed that worthy Ministers of the Gospel, are not destitute of wisdom, and judgement concerning Religious affairs. By this reason therefore D. B. might as well have forborne to judge, what they should choose, as to determine so peremptorily thereof. Lastly, I would gladly know of D. B. whether the Scriptures be not able as well to make Magistrates, and Governors, perfect to every good work, as they can do Ministers? whether; either Minister, or Magistrate should do, or ought to do any thing, which God hath not commanded them? Whether a faithful Minister, in his office, ought not to understand, what that word reveals: ought not to teach all Magistrates what out of the word, he so understands? If all which particulars be plain & undeniable, it vvill appear that it belonged to D. B. being called to give counsel, declaratively to judge & determine, what was convenient to be done: ⟨image 42⟩which if he durst not declare, he durst not do his duty. And that I may fasten this nail yet more fully, I thus force the conclusion.
