this_o about_o and_o settle_v it_o in_o the_o world_n there_o must_v be_v a_o utter_a pluck_v up_o of_o all_o that_o be_v now_o in_o esteem_n and_o desire_v in_o the_o world_n and_o of_o all_o that_o have_v such_o in_o the_o world_n for_o many_o hundred_o of_o year_n and_o all_o thing_n to_o become_v new_a for_o the_o clear_n of_o this_o because_o it_o may_v seem_v to_o contradict_v what_o be_v even_o now_o say_v namely_o that_o the_o church-ordinance_n and_o mean_n of_o grace_n be_v still_o remain_v among_o we_o and_o therefore_o if_o all_o must_v be_v pluck_v up_o then_o also_o what_o christ_n have_v plant_v be_v it_o consider_v 1._o that_o though_o christ_n plant_n be_v remain_v still_o yet_o there_o be_v more_o also_o add_v thereto_o some_o surreptitious_o creep_v in_o by_o the_o

as_o i_o have_v express_v before_o in_o my_o address_n unto_o the_o parliament_n 2._o that_o though_o christ_n plant_n be_v still_o remain_v yet_o they_o have_v be_v all_o transplant_v and_o set_v

in_o antichrist_n in_o a_o antichristian_a carnal_a earthly_a spirit_n that_o can_v perceive_v &_o savour_v nothing_o of_o what_o be_v heavenly_a have_v fix_v and_o root_v it_o in_o a_o affectation_n
