Which is the true church? the whole Christian world, as headed only by Christ…

2. I thought we had nothing to have proved but due Qualifications, due election (or consent) and due Ordination (or Consecration). But here now comes in I know not what and how much more, Confirmation, Vocation, Mission, Jurisdiction. All hard words: Had I put him but to have told us the meaning of these also, what work should I have made him?

2. I thought we had nothing to have proved but due Qualifications, due election (or consent) and due Ordination (or Consecration). But here now comes in I know not what and how much more, Confirmation, Vocation, Mission, Iurisdiction. All hard words: Had I put him but to have told us the meaning of these also, what work should I have made him?

1. What is Confirmation without which Qualifications, Election and Ordination make not a true Minister or Bishop? O that we knew it. 2. What is Vocation besides the three aforesaid, and which is necessary ad esse? 3. And what is Mission besides those three, which is also so necessary? 4. And what meaneth he by Jurisdiction that was wanting? was it the Jurisdiction of the Collator, or of the Receiver; not the former, for we never knew that God gave any Jurisdiction to the Clergy, but the Pastoral power of guiding the Churches by the Word and Keys; which is the work of their own office; and the office of the Ordainer is •o ordain; and if he have power to Ordain (or Consecrate) he hath that Jurisdiction which consisteth of that power. If it be the Receivers Jurisdiction that he meaneth, that is the same contradiction. For to ordain one to the Pastoral office, is to give him all the jurisdiction which is part of that office. And for any other jurisdiction we wish Princes would keep it both from the ordainers and the ordained.
