CHAP. XIX.
That there was among the Jews a jurisdiction and government Ecclesiastical, distinct from the civill.
That there was among the Jewes a jurisdiction and government Ecclesiasticall, distinct from the civill.
First, they had Elders who were Spiritual or Ecclesiastical (not civill) rulers. Whence it is that Salmasius de primatu papae, pag: 3. and long before Ambrose in 1 Tim: 5. doeth parallel the Jewish Elders not to the Christian Magistrate, but to the Elders of the Christian Church ordained by the Apostles. I do not say that they had no Elders who were civill Magistrates; but they had some Elders who were Church Governors, or had an Ecclesiastical jurisdiction. Which I prove 1. By the arguments brought before, Book 1 chap: 3. pag: 26. 27.
