• I am not against the settlement of Church-government prudently as now.
1Ans. If Prudential-government be from Christ and his Testament, it is not enough, not to be against Christ, but ye must be with him; if it be not of Christ, the more shame to you, and all your way, not to be against that which hath not Christ for its Father and Author.

But this way, Saltmarsh is not against the Church-government of Rome, by Popes, Cardinals, Patriarchs, Metropolitans, Arch-Bishops, and the Government abjured in his Covenant, for these be prudential Church-governments.
