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.

5. The Reverend Brother had said in his Sermon; Of other Governments besides Magistracy, I find no Institution. I cited 1 Thes. 5. 12. 1 Tim. 5. 17. Heb. 13. 7, 17. to prove another Government (yea, the Institution of another Government) besides Magistracy. And in my Nihil Respondes, I told he had laughed, but had not yet loosed the knot. Now hear his two Answers, Male dicis p. 8. First, for the Institution, for the Commissioner affirms so much. Had he said that these Texts hold out an Office or Officer already instituted, the words would have bourn him out, &c. But the Institution in this place I cannot see. See the like in Master Hussey, p. 19. 22. I thank them both. That Scripture which supposeth an Institution, and holds out an office already instituted, shall to me (and I am confident to others also) prove an Institution; for no Text of Scripture can suppose or hold out that which is not true: Nay, hath Master Coleman forgotten that himself proved an Institution of Magistracy from Rom. 13. 1, 2? Yet that Text doth but hold out the office of Magistracy already instituted: But the Institution it self is not in that place.
