¹Whether the power of the Keys of the Kingdom of CHRIST, be conferred, upon the multitude of believers, as upon the first and proper subject, or upon the Church-guides?

¹Whether the power of the Keyes of the Kingdome of CHRIST, be conferred, upon the multitude of believers, as upon the first and proper subject, or upon the Church-guides?

1QUEST. 1.

:38p. 1–2

The Question is not understood of that Royal and Kingly power of excellency and Independency, ¹called all power, ²which is only in Christ Jesus, ³but of the supreme Ministerial power, (as all expound it, Bucanus, Cartwright, Amesius, Parker) that is given to the Church. By the Keys we understand not the Monarchical power of Teaching, supreme defining Articles of faith,⁴ and judging the Scriptures, as the Jesuits of Rhemes do dream,⁵ Vulcan, not Christ made these Keys.⁶
