The House of Parl. may as truly have the denomination of the Church as the Prelates, their Chancellors, 1Commissaries & Officials; will they not acknowledge the House of parl. to have as much power to govern the Church as they have? surely they dare not speak out. Yea, the Houses of Parl. are as truly Gods Clergy, although there be never a Prelate there, as the Bishops or Ministers are; it is a proud arrogation ⟨p. 50⟩of theirs to make themselves Gods Clergy, that is, Gods lot or Heritage, thereby distinguishing themselves from the people, when as the Scripture makes the people Gods Clergy by way of distinction from the Ministers; but never the Ministers Gods Clergy by way of distinction from the people, as 1. Pet. 5. 3. Neither as being Lords over Gods heritage; he speaks to Ministers, that they may not Lord over the Clergy; [Greek or Hebrew], so the words are: let any show me now where Ministers in distinction from people are called [Greek or Hebrew], from whence their word Clergy comes, but thus in matters of Church government, as well as in Civill, have people been deluded.
