Male audis or An answer to Mr. Coleman his Malè dicis. Wherein the repugnancy of his Erastian doctrine to the word of God, to the solemn League and Covenant, and to the ordinances of Parliament: also his contradictions, tergiversations, heterodoxies, calumnies, and perverting of testimonies, are made more apparent then formerly. Together with some animadversions upon Master Hussey his Plea for Christian magistracy: showing, that in divers of the afore mentioned particulars he hath miscarried as much, and in some particulars more then Mr Coleman. / By George Gillespie, minister at Edinburgh.

But Master Coleman adviseth▪ the Parliament▪ &c. Ergo, The consequence in the proposition is necessary, unless he will say that it is agreeable to the rules of Prudence, to lay upon them more work besides that which will take up the whole man, or to commit that power unto them, which is like to prove an ambitious ensnarement. 3. He that adviseth ⟨p. 3⟩the Parliament to lay no burden at all of corrective Government upon Ministers and other Officers joined with them in Elderships, but to keep that power wholly in their own hands, is against the Prudence of the thing, as well as against the Institution of it. But Master Coleman adviseth the Parliament to lay no burden at all of corrective Government upon these, but to keep that power wholly in their own hands. Ergo. The Proposition is proved by that which himself saith, The Parliament Votes look to Prudence. So that the Parliament having voted a power of Suspension from the Sacrament, unto Elderships, for so many scandals as are enumerate in the Ordinance (which power is a part of that which he calls corrective) he that is against this power in Elderships, is both against the Prudence and against the Ordinance of Parliament. The Assumption I prove from his Reexamination, pag. 14. where after his denial of the power to those whom we think Church-Officers, being charged with advising the Parliament to take Church-government wholly into their own hands, his answer was, If you mean the corrective power, I do so.
