IN this Section, they produce the second proof of the justness their complaint of his subjecting the Church under an undue power of the Classis, viz, his giving them power to make laws and orders, whereunto, whosoever will be ministers of that Church must submit.] For proof hereof they give two instances. 1. that they bind Ministers to observe the orders and customs of the Dutch Church. 2. their second instance is concerning this order of promiscuous baptising, which they made a condition of my admittance to that Ministry. The justness of their laying the blame of both these upon the Answerer they prove. 1. Because some of the Dutch preachers themselves have declared their willingness to cast off some of those customs, if the vastness of their Church would perm•• it. 2. Because ⟨p. 253⟩one of them said to the Answerer in the Classis (upon occasion of his complaining of my not conforming to their orders) you your self do not conform to all our orders. 3. Because they have professed that they should have been glad that the differences had been ended among our selves. 4. Because he hath of late required of the Elders that an order might be made in the Consistory, that whatsoever minister shall hereafter be called to that Church should conform to that writing of the five Ministers.]
