3 Master Hussey will have Ministers placed without any regard to the allowance or dis-allowance of the people. Epist. to the Parliament. This is Prelatical, or rather more then Prelatical.

4 The Prelates were great enemies to ruling Elders. So are Mr. Coleman, and Mr. Hussey who acknowledge no warrant from the Word of God for that calling, nor admit of any ruling Elders who are not Magistrates. A distinction which was used by Saravia and Bilson in reference to the Jewish Elders, and by Bishop Hall in reference to the Elders of the ancient Church, who were not Preaching Elders. Assert. of Episcop. by divine right, pag. 208, 209, 221. And now forsooth Mr. Hussey in his Epistle to the Parliament doth earnestly beseech them to set up Classes consisting only of Ministers, whose work should be only to Preach the Word, &c. Such Classes I dare say the Prelates themselves will admit of. Sure the Scottish Prelates, when they were at their highest yielded as much.
