think_v the_o gospel_n only_o shall_v be_v preach_v to_o the_o jew_n what_o more_o opposite_a to_o prophetical_a doctrine_n concern_v the_o come_n of_o christ_n than_o the_o one_o concern_v the_o

as_o die_v before_o admonition_n may_v not_o by_o mercy_n be_v receive_v even_o in_o error_n so_o i_o make_v no_o doubt_n but_o as_o many_o as_o live_v till_o they_o be_v admonish_v find_v the_o

only_o against_o the_o salvation_n of_o they_o which_o die_v though_o before_o admonition_n yet_o in_o error_n it_o be_v object_v that_o their_o opinion_n be_v a_o very_a plain_a direct_a denial_n of_o the_o foundation_n if_o paul_n &_o barnabas_n have_v be_v persuade_v they_o will_v happy_o have_v use_v the_o term_n otherwise_o speak_v of_o the_o master_n themselves_o who_o do_v first_o set_v

all_o that_o ever_o the_o prophet_n do_v foretell_v all_o that_o ever_o the_o apostle_n do_v preach_v of_o christ_n it_o draw_v with_o it_o the_o denial_n of_o christ_n utter_o in_o so_o much_o that_o s_o paul_n complain_v that_o his_o labour_n be_v lose_v upon_o the_o galatian_n unto_o who_o this_o error_n be_v obtrude_v affirm_v that_o christ_n if_o so_o be_v they_o be_v circumcise_v shall_v not_o profit_v they_o any_o thing_n at_o all_o yet_o so_o far_o be_v s._n paul_n from_o strike_v their_o name_n out_o of_o christ_n book_n that_o he_o command_v other_o to_o entertain_v they_o to_o accept_v they_o with_o singular_a humanity_n to_o use_v they_o like_o brethren_n he_o know_v man_n imbecility_n he_o have_v a_o feel_n of_o our_o blindness_n which_o be_v mortal_a man_n how_o great_a it_o be_v and_o be_v sure_o that_o they_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n who_o soever_o be_v endue_v with_o his_o fear_n will_v have_v they_o count_v enemy_n of_o that_o whereunto_o they_o can_v not_o as_o yet_o frame_v themselves_o to_o be_v friend_n but_o do_v ever_o upon_o a_o very_a religious_a affection_n to_o the_o truth_n willing_o reject_v the_o truth_n they_o acknowledge_v christ_n to_o be_v their_o only_a and_o perfect_a saviour_n but_o see_v not_o how_o repugnant_a their_o believe_v the_o necessity_n of_o mosaical_a ceremony_n be_v to_o their_o faith_n in_o jesus_n christ._n hereunto_o a_o reply_n be_v make_v that_o if_o they_o have_v not_o direct_o deny_v the_o foundation_n they_o may_v have_v be_v save_v but_o save_v they_o can_v not_o be_v therefore_o their_o opinion_n be_v not_o only_o by_o consequent_a but_o direct_o a_o denial_n of_o the_o foundation_n when_o the_o question_n be_v about_o the_o possibility_n of_o their_o salvation_n their_o deny_v of_o the_o foundation_n be_v bring_v to_o prove_v that_o they_o can_v not_o be_v save_v now_o that_o the_o question_n be_v about_o their_o denial_n of_o the_o foundation_n the_o impossibility_n of_o their_o salvation_n be_v allege_v to_o prove_v they_o deny_v the_o foundation_n be_v there_o nothing_o which_o exclude_v man_n from_o salvation_n but_o only_o the_o foundation_n of_o faith_n deny_v i_o shall_v have_v think_v that_o beside_o this_o many_o other_o thing_n be_v death_n unto_o as_o many_o as_o be_v give_v to_o understand_v that_o to_o cleave_v thereunto_o be_v to_o fall_v from_o christ_n do_v notwithstanding_o cleave_v unto_o it_o but_o of_o this_o enough_o wherefore_o i_o come_v to_o the_o last_o question_n whether_o that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n concern_v the_o necessity_n of_o work_n unto_o salvation_n be_v a_o direct_a denial_n of_o our_o faith_n 27_o i_o seek_v not_o to_o obtrude_v unto_o you_o any_o private_a opinion_n of_o my_o own_o the_o best_a learned_a in_o our_o profession_n be_v of_o this_o judgement_n that_o all_o the_o corruption_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n do_v not_o prove_v she_o to_o deny_v the_o foundation_n direct_o if_o they_o do_v they_o shall_v grant_v she_o simple_o to_o be_v no_o christian_a church_n but_o i_o suppose_v say_v 104._o one_o that_o in_o the_o papacy_n some_o church_n remain_v a_o church_n craze_a or_o if_o you_o will_v break_v quite_o in_o piece_n forlorn_a misshape_a yet_o some_o church_n his_o reason_n be_v this_o antichrist_n must_v sit_v in_o the_o temple_n of_o god_n lest_o any_o man_n shall_v think_v such_o sentence_n as_o these_o to_o be_v true_a only_o in_o regard_n of_o they_o who_o that_o church_n be_v suppose_v to_o have_v keep_v by_o the_o special_a providence_n of_o god_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o secret_a corner_n of_o his_o bosom_n free_a from_o infection_n and_o as_o sound_v in_o the_o faith_n as_o we_o trust_v by_o his_o mercy_n we_o
