what_o god_n have_v constitute_v man_n can_v undo_v lawful_o i_o mean_v he_o can_v now_o we_o have_v no_o such_o body_n of_o christian_n in_o england_n that_o remain_v under_o one_o who_o be_v

only_o use_v two_o reason_n the_o first_o be_v that_o christ_n our_o lord_n will_v have_v the_o whole_a company_n of_o christian_n upon_o earth_n ever_o to_o be_v and_o remain_v one_o flock_n this_o i_o conceiv_o can_v never_o be_v except_o they_o be_v all_o under_o one_o visible_a pastor_n nor_o can_v it_o suffice_v to_o say_v here_o that_o they_o be_v all_o under_o one_o christ_n and_o one_o

they_o be_v govern_v be_v under_o one_o god_n the_o supreme_a king_n as_o the_o whole_a church_n be_v say_v to_o be_v under_o one_o christ_n but_o this_o make_v they_o not_o to_o be_v one_o kingdom_n nay_o those_o that_o have_v not_o a_o visible_a king_n be_v not_o any_o kingdom_n at_o all_o but_o a_o aristocracy_n only_o or_o commonwealth_n or_o wild_a straggler_n but_o if_o you_o will_v have_v no_o visible_a flock_n of_o christian_n upon_o earth_n you_o teach_v the_o quaker_n doctrine_n and_o abolish_v all_o government_n it_o be_v certain_a then_o that_o if_o the_o ecclesiastical_a government_n of_o each_o place_n do_v end_n in_o the_o bishop_n of_o that_o respective_a diocese_n as_o the_o dissuader_n talk_v that_o there_o must_v be_v then_o as_o many_o flock_n of_o christian_n as_o there_o be_v bishop_n upon_o earth_n which_o be_v not_o subordinate_a all_o of_o they_o to_o one_o general_a pastor_n can_v never_o bring_v their_o flock_n into_o one_o second_o be_v that_o such_o a_o polity_n and_o government_n must_v ever_o be_v preserve_v in_o christ_n church_n which_o himself_o set_v up_o and_o practise_v this_o be_v most_o certain_a for_o if_o that_o polity_n or_o

consequent_o all_o the_o law_n which_o do_v ever_o follow_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o government_n must_v alter_v with_o it_o thus_o it_o be_v with_o we_o here_o in_o england_n the_o other_o day_n when_o our_o government_n be_v change_v we_o be_v no_o more_o the_o body_n of_o william_n the_o conqueror_n or_o any_o polity_n institute_v by_o he_o but_o another_o polity_n or_o body_n set_v up_o by_o the_o rump-parliament_n and_o all_o our_o law_n become_v then_o liable_a to_o their_o arbitrary_a interpretation_n to_o be_v wrest_v as_o themselves_o please_v and_o they_o have_v be_v if_o we_o

unto_o the_o world_n end_n for_o if_o that_o polity_n or_o body_n change_n then_o be_v it_o no_o more_o christ_n body_n but_o another_o thing_n and_o his_o law_n and_o religion_n will_v be_v then_o interpret_v according_a to_o the_o pleasure_n of_o those_o who_o first_o reject_v the_o government_n and_o of_o their_o follower_n afterward_o unto_o infinite_a and_o endless_a misery_n and_o that_o this_o polity_n or_o government_n be_v ever_o to_o remain_v in_o christ_n church_n on_o earth_n may_v be_v gather_v first_o by_o this_o that_o every_o wise_a legislatour_n know_v well_o enough_o

not_o come_v thus_o far_o such_o a_o discourse_n have_v be_v handsome_o fit_v to_o theological_a school_n and_o very_o proper_a among_o learned_a divine_n there_o but_o here_o not_o so_o what_o be_v it_o to_o our_o business_n in_o hand_n whether_o faith_n can_v or_o can_v be_v divine_a except_o the_o proposer_n be_v infallible_a and_o as_o it_o be_v divine_a this_o be_v a_o mere_a theological_a dispute_n and_o he_o that_o answer_v stillingfleet_v book_n defend_v not_o faith_n immediate_o but_o a_o argumentator_n syllogism_n religion_n indeed_o as_o soon_o as_o ever_o it_o be_v question_v or_o dispute_v run_v present_o into_o philosophy_n and_o therein_o if_o great_a heed_n be_v not_o take_v it_o be_v quite_o lose_v and_o thence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o most_o part_n of_o our_o controversy_n book_n be_v about_o school_n philosophy_n and_o human_a reason_n i_o blame_v not_o the_o catholic_a gentleman_n who_o ever_o he_o be_v for_o his_o argument_n nor_o will_v stillingfleet_n be_v blame_v for_o defend_v his_o place_n but_o i_o let_v my_o countryman_n spectator_n of_o the_o contest_v understand_v that_o in_o deed_n and_o truth_n so_o often_o as_o we_o dispute_v we_o be_v beyond_o the_o business_n all_o writer_n of_o controversy_n speak_v more_o than_o faith_n when_o they_o either_o defend_v or_o oppose_v it_o and_o in_o read_v controversy_n we_o see_v not_o so_o much_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o faith_n as_o the_o wit_n of_o he_o who_o oppose_v or_o defend_v it_o and_o so_o much_o this_o some_o time_n that_o the_o other_o be_v nothing_o at_o all_o discern_v this_o the_o world_n must_v know_v and_o understand_v well_o or_o else_o they_o will_v be_v miserable_o mistake_v as_o indeed_o i_o see_v all_o man_n be_v when_o two_o lawyer_n plead_v about_o a_o case_n of_o right_n perhaps_o three_o hour_n together_o all_o that_o three_o hour_n talk_n be_v not_o law_n or_o the_o right_n they_o talk_v of_o but_o only_o their_o ratiocination_n about_o it_o and_o such_o be_v all_o our_o controversy_n about_o religion_n and_o he_o do_v best_a therein_o who_o still_o put_v his_o adversary_n in_o mind_n what_o be_v his_o talk_n and_o what_o be_v the_o faith_n they_o talk_v of_o but_o he_o that_o defend_v both_o of_o they_o equal_o forget_v himself_o and_o thus_o i_o see_v that_o general_o man_n do_v miscarry_v on_o both_o side_n the_o protestant_a by_o call_v that_o romanish_a doctrine_n which_o be_v but_o a_o catholics_n discourse_n for_o it_o and_o the_o catholic_a by_o maintain_v that_o talk_n of_o he_o which_o it_o be_v not_o a_o pin_n matter_n whether_o it_o stand_v or_o fall_v for_o faith_n be_v firm_a and_o constant_a though_o all_o my_o talk_n for_o it_o be_v miserable_o weak_a now_o all_o the_o whole_a business_n of_o faith_n which_o stillingfleet_n and_o his_o adversary_n talk_v of_o be_v as_o i_o take_v it_o only_o this_o that_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n have_v by_o god_n divine_a promise_n of_o be_v ever_o with_o she_o a_o power_n to_o oblige_v her_o subject_n to_o hear_v and_o obey_v she_o if_o they_o mean_v to_o be_v happy_a in_o their_o way_n the_o catholic_a affirm_v this_o stillingfleet_n with_o his_o protestant_n deny_v it_o and_o this_o be_v all_o the_o faith_n that_o be_v in_o it_o which_o be_v not_o here_o touch_v and_o a_o theological_a business_n of_o infallibility_n only_o speak_v of_o and_o therefore_o stillingfleet_n be_v much_o to_o blame_v when_o he_o speak_v so_o often_o in_o his_o book_n of_o the_o romanist_n way_n of_o resolve_v faith_n the_o
