Second Question.
A Reverend Author out of a Book composed [as he tells us] by several Bishops and great Doctors, and approved by Authority, in King Henry the Eighth's days, hath Collected these Propositions:
AReverend Author out of a Book composed [as he tells us] by several Bishops and great Doctors, and approved by Authority, in King Henry the Eighth's dayes, hath Collected these Propositions:
First, That a Parochial or Congregational-Church Government, is according to the Church of England, jure Divino, Secondly, That the Diocesan or National Government is jure Hamano. Thirdly, That Protestants [except some obscure Writer] assert, Particular Churches to be the [Greek or Hebrew] of Church-Government. Among whom, saith he, there are these differences: 1. The Episcopal and Presbyterian differ from the Congregational about the Extent of particular Churches, i. e. the Congregational concludes there must be no more than are capable of Personal Communion: The former make a greater extent, and give too great advantage to Papacy. 2. They differ concerning the Nature of Discipline; the Congregational being esteemed an Espouser of a Democracy, the Presbyterian of an Aristocracy, the Episcopal of Monarchy.
