Q. 3. For the Jus Divinum of this.
This form Dr. Stillingfleet cannot deny the Apostles did constitute in the Churches; but it seems the Apostolical practice, though they were guided by the Spirit of Christ, is not sufficient to make a Jus Divinum, a positive Law; for it is demanded.
1st. There was no positive Law for the change of the seventh-day Sabbath; but yet the Dr. tells us, the Apostolical practice is sufficient, for they were guided by an Infallible Spirit, p. 12, 13. If so, in a matter of far greater moment than in this, I hope, it is sufficient, the Dr. cannot deny it.
2ly. Dr. Stillingfleet denies the 18. Mat. 15, 16. proves Excommunication: Then what positive Law hath he for Excommunications, Deacons, Ordination of Church-Officers?
