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.

Fourthly, Master Hussey, Epist. pag. 7. saith, That upon further consideration he found the Minister charged only with Preaching, and Baptizing. The like he hath afterwards, pag. 39. Let any man prove that a Minister hath any more to do from Christ then to teach and baptize. And again, pag. 44. he propounds this Quaere, Whether Christ gave any more Government, (he should have said any more to do, for Preaching and Baptizing are not acts of Government) then is contained in Preaching and Baptizing, and he holds the negative. If only Preaching and Baptizing, then not praying, and reading in the Congregation, ministering the Lords Supper, visiting the Sick and particular families.

Fifthly, He holdeth, pag. 20. that a Heathen Magistrate is unlawful, and for his government, if sin be lawful, it is lawful. A gross heterodoxy. The Apostle exhorteth to be subject even to Heathen Magistrates, Rom. 13. (for there were no other at that time) and to pray for them, 1 Tim. 2. so that by Mr. Hu•sseys Divinity the Apostle would have men to be subject unto and to pray for an unlawful Government. It is an An baptisticall Tenet that an Heathen Magistrate is not from God: which Gerhard de Magistratu position, pag. 498. 499. fully confutes.
