In Mat. 5. 22 fore-alleaged, Christ doth lay downe the f••st platforme o• the Churchgovernement o• discipline which hee would have to b• used in his Kingdome of grace under the N. T. according to that of the old Synagogue to the end of the world: which he afterwards doth more fully establish, M•t. 18. 15. 16, &c which two places are parall•lls expounding one another: for the word NONLATINALPHABET shewes what is to bee understood by that other, NONLATINALPHABET, viz not the whole congregation promiscuously, but such Elders, chosen out of it, whereof the smaller Syned•••ms of every Synagogue or particular Congregations among the ancient Iewes, were composed, of whom we have spoken before, out of Exod. 2. 3. 21. and 19. 3. 7. Againe the word Eccl•sia doth l•kewise shew that by the word Synedrtum we are to understand, not onely civill Magistrates, call•d also by the title of Elders very often in the Old Testament, but likewise such Ecclesiasticall Officers as we now doe speake of, being the same 〈 ◊ 〉, who as the former are to be chosen from among the godliest, wiser and dis• … st of the said Congregation. |
In Mathew 5. 22 fore-alleged, christ does lay down the f••st platform o• the Churchgovernement o• discipline which he would have to b• used in his Kingdom of grace under the N. T. according to that of the old Synagogue to the end of the world: which he afterwards does more Fully establish, M•t. 18. 15. 16, etc. which two places Are parall•lls expounding one Another: for the word shows what is to be understood by that other,, videlicet not the Whole congregation promiscuously, but such Elders, chosen out of it, whereof the smaller Syned•••ms of every Synagogue or particular Congregations among the ancient Iewes, were composed, of whom we have spoken before, out of Exod 2. 3. 21. and 19. 3. 7. Again the word Eccl•sia does l•kewise show that by the word Synedrtum we Are to understand, not only civil Magistrates, call•d also by the title of Elders very often in the Old Testament, but likewise such Ecclesiastical Officers as we now do speak of, being the same 〈 ◊ 〉, who as the former Are to be chosen from among the Godliest, Wiser and dis• … Saint of the said Congregation. |
