of_o the_o lord_n supper_n if_o not_o why_o will_v they_o urge_v a_o rule_n from_o jesus_n christ_n to_o other_o which_o they_o themselves_o will_v not_o practice_v will_v they_o have_v other_o do_v that_o themselves_o neither_o will_n nor_o can_v do_v as_o themselves_o confess_v where_o the_o great_a part_n be_v corrupt_a and_o this_o be_v the_o case_n of_o most_o parish_n in_o england_n how_o

i_o conceive_v lie_v in_o the_o word_n church_n when_o our_o saviour_n bid_v tell_v the_o church_n i_o shall_v give_v my_o thought_n concern_v that_o also_o and_o leave_v they_o to_o the_o intelligent_a reader_n to_o consider_v 1._o i_o conceive_v our_o saviour_n rule_n here_o give_v in_o this_o case_n respect_v the_o present_a state_n of_o the_o jew_n church_n as_o well_o as_o the_o christian_a church_n in_o after_o time_n and_o be_v practicable_a in_o that_o present_a state_n of_o the_o jew_n church_n 2._o according_a to_o the_o same_o rule_n and_o order_n his_o disciple_n and_o their_o follower_n shall_v act_v in_o after_o age_n as_o vers_n 18._o do_v plain_o show_v concern_v the_o former_a of_o these_o as_o the_o rule_n give_v by_o our_o saviour_n respect_v the_o present_a state_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o be_v practicable_a in_o that_o church_n we_o be_v to_o inquire_v whether_o the_o complaint_n be_v to_o be_v make_v to_o the_o whole_a church_n consist_v of_o ruler_n and_o rule_v assemble_v together_o in_o holy_a worship_n or_o to_o the_o ruler_n and_o officer_n of_o the_o church_n only_o assemble_v in_o a_o court_n of_o judicature_n for_o the_o hear_n of_o complaint_n and_o try_v of_o offender_n and_o punish_v evil_a manner_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o to_o one_o it_o seem_v very_o probable_a that_o church_n here_o be_v to_o be_v take_v in_o the_o latter_a sense_n because_o the_o common_a people_n among_o the_o jew_n never_o have_v any_o such_o authority_n in_o that_o church_n as_o to_o judge_v of_o manner_n and_o censure_n according_a to_o
