Hereunto doth Master Robinson assent in these words, As a man once baptized is always baptised, 1so is he in all places and Churches where he comes (as a baptized person) to enjoy the common benefits of his baptism, and to discharge the common duties which ⟨p. 199⟩depend upon it. But a Pastor is not a Pastor in every Church where he comes upon occasion, neither can he require in any other Church, saving that one over which the holy Ghost hath set him, that obedience, maintenance, and other respects which is due from the officers to the people; neither stands he charged with that ministry and service, which is due to the people from the officers. The like he would have said of an Elder or a Deacon.
