The keys of the kingdom of heaven and power thereof according to the word…The keyes of the kingdom of heaven and power thereof according to the word…

2. Apostolical power extended it self to all churches, as much as to any one. Their line went out into all the world, (Psal. 19.4. compared with Rom. 10.) And as they received commission to preach and ⟨p. 33⟩baptize in all the world, Mat. 28.19. So they received charge to feed the flock of Christs Sheep and Lambs (which implieth all acts of Pastoral government over all the Sheep and Lambs of Christ) Joh. 21.15, 16, 17. Now this Apostolical power, centring all church-power into one man, and extending it self forth to the circumference of all churches, as the Apostles were the first subject of it, so were they also the last; Nevertheless that ample and universal latitude of power, which was conjoined in them, is now divided even by themselves amongst all the churches, and all the officers of the churches respectively, the officers of each church attending the charge of the particular church committed to them, by virtue of their office, and yet none of them neglecting the good of other churches, so far as they may be mutually helpful to one another in the Lord.
