church_n be_v beautiful_a for_o all_o that_o the_o scripture_n give_v we_o a_o perfect_a delineation_n of_o the_o church_n as_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v in_o rule_n of_o faith_n and_o holiness_n but_o yet_o show_v we_o plain_o that_o it_o be_v god_n pleasure_n that_o the_o net_n shall_v gather_v both_o good_a and_o bad_a and_o the_o servant_n invite_v to_o the_o marriage_n do_v bring_v in_o both_o good_a and_o bad_a it_o must_v needs_o be_v consequent_a that_o many_o of_o those_o that_o be_v call_v be_v not_o choose_v that_o all_o that_o be_v of_o israel_n be_v not_o israel_n have_v not_o this_o mixture_n serve_v more_o to_o god_n glory_n even_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o inward_o discriminate_v grace_n it_o be_v likely_a it_o have_v not_o be_v so_o that_o as_o they_o say_v of_o the_o hebrew_n greek_a latin_a these_o language_n may_v be_v pure_a in_o book_n but_o hardly_o to_o be_v find_v pure_o speak_v by_o any_o nation_n now_o in_o the_o world_n so_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o faith_n and_o life_n pure_a and_o perfect_a in_o the_o word_n and_o yet_o not_o so_o perfect_o observe_v by_o the_o visible_a church_n and_o if_o a_o man_n suppose_v that_o a_o number_n or_o colony_n of_o real_o holy_a person_n may_v be_v pick_v out_o of_o the_o church_n and_o embody_n themselves_o into_o a_o church_n be_v they_o sure_o this_o will_v be_v answerable_a to_o their_o fancy_n do_v not_o the_o donatist_n dream_v so_o of_o themselves_o and_o what_o may_v one_o think_v of_o their_o child_n in_o time_n do_v not_o the_o pure_a seed_n we_o sow_v come_v up_o with_o straw_n and_o

church_n may_v be_v corrupt_v many_o way_n in_o doctrine_n ordinance_n worship_n and_o this_o i_o account_v the_o worst_a because_o it_o be_v the_o corruption_n of_o the_o best_a as_o the_o corruption_n of_o blood_n that_o run_v through_o all_o the_o body_n the_o poison_n of_o spring_n and_o river_n that_o run_v through_o a_o nation_n be_v worse_a than_o a_o sore_a finger_n in_o the_o body_n or_o a_o ground_n of_o thistle_n in_o the_o nation_n and_o there_o be_v degree_n of_o this_o corruption_n the_o doctrine_n in_o some_o remote_a point_n hay_n and_o stubble_n upon_o the_o foundation_n the_o worship_n in_o some_o ritual_n or_o rite_n of_o man_n invention_n or_o custom_n how_o many_o scripture_n church_n do_v you_o find_v thus_o corrupt_v and_o yet_o no_o separation_n of_o christ_n from_o the_o jewish_a church_n nor_o any_o command_v to_o the_o godly_a of_o corinth_n in_o the_o province_n of_o galatia_n or_o those_o of_o asia_n in_o the_o revelation_n i_o must_v in_o such_o case_n avoid_v the_o corruption_n hold_v the_o communion_n hear_v they_o in_o moses_n chair_n and_o yet_o beware_v of_o their_o leaven_n but_o if_o corruption_n invade_v the_o fundamental_o the_o foundation_n of_o doctrine_n be_v destroy_v the_o worship_n be_v become_v idolatrous_a the_o leprosy_n be_v get_v into_o the_o wall_n and_o substance_n of_o the_o house_n and_o which_o be_v above_o all_o if_o the_o church_n impose_v such_o law_n of_o their_o communion_n as_o there_o be_v necessity_n of_o do_v or_o approve_v thing_n unlawful_a or_o i_o be_o ruin_v and_o undo_v then_o must_v i_o either_o break_v with_o god_n or_o man_n and_o in_o that_o case_n come_v out_o of_o babylon_n the_o church_n of_o protestant_n so_o separate_v from_o they_o of_o rome_n it_o be_v a_o necessary_a and_o just_a separation_n the_o law_n of_o their_o communion_n be_v ruinous_a to_o the_o soul_n if_o we_o hold_v it_o to_o the_o body_n and_o life_n if_o we_o hold_v it_o not_o §_o 6_o in_o sum_n then_o and_o in_o conclusion_n of_o this_o part_n about_o doctrine_n or_o worship_n which_o be_v but_o upon_o the_o high_a to_o the_o question_n if_o a_o corrupt_a church_n as_o israel_n be_v have_v their_o ordinance_n according_a to_o the_o pattern_n in_o the_o mount_n if_o it_o may_v be_v say_v as_o peter_n to_o christ_n john_n 6._o 68_o when_o some_o disciple_n separate_v

shall_v we_o go_v why_o do_v we_o separate_v and_o yet_o i_o will_v not_o be_v mistake_v by_o the_o simple_a man_n as_o if_o i_o account_v it_o separation_n if_o a_o christian_a hear_v a_o sermon_n or_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n in_o another_o congregation_n for_o he_o that_o take_v a_o meal_n at_o another_o table_n do_v not_o thereby_o separate_v from_o his_o own_o house_n or_o if_o a_o

than_o if_o be_v sickly_a and_o have_v not_o health_n in_o the_o city_n he_o remove_v his_o seat_n into_o the_o country_n for_o pure_a air_n because_o in_o so_o do_v he_o remove_v from_o the_o city_n but_o renounce_v not_o his_o freedom_n therein_o nor_o disclaim_v in_o like_a proportion_n the_o communion_n of_o the_o church_n §._o 7._o of_o separation_n §_o 7_o but_o now_o to_o the_o point_n of_o

but_o of_o this_o i_o have_v already_o speak_v at_o large_a §._o 7._o of_o the_o minister_n or_o eldership_n examine_v communicant_n before_o admittance_n §_o 7_o i_o know_v you_o will_v ask_v i_o

for_o the_o exploration_n only_o of_o their_o competency_n of_o knowledge_n in_o order_n to_o their_o admission_n to_o the_o lord_n table_n i_o profess_v my_o hearty_a sorrow_n for_o the_o rent_n and_o discontent_n which_o have_v ensue_v not_o will_v i_o stand_v up_o to_o justify_v any_o scandalous_a procedure_n which_o have_v arm_v any_o man_n with_o argument_n or_o indignation_n but_o shall_v clear_o without_o any_o fraud_n or_o prevarication_n declare_v my_o opinion_n upon_o the_o thing_n itself_o 1._o i_o do_v not_o enforce_v it_o upon_o this_o text_n which_o do_v not_o intend_v a_o examination_n mere_o by_o propound_v question_n but_o a_o find_v out_o of_o our_o spiritual_a estate_n and_o of_o that_o whole_a fitness_n and_o meetness_n require_v of_o we_o in_o order_n to_o our_o access_n to_o the_o lord_n table_n that_o in_o question_n be_v a_o exploration_n by_o question_n touch_v knowledge_n competent_a or_o sufficient_a this_o in_o the_o text_n be_v require_v before_o every_o sacrament_n that_o but_o once_o in_o order_n to_o first_o admission_n and_o therefore_o as_o i_o prove_v it_o not_o by_o this_o text_n so_o i_o must_v needs_o say_v it_o be_v not_o disprove_v by_o it_o and_o therefore_o they_o that_o infer_v from_o hence_o against_o all_o examination_n by_o other_o must_v necessary_o destroy_v all_o catechise_n whether_o by_o parent_n master_n or_o other_o which_o can_v be_v every_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o examine_v himself_o but_o not_o bind_v from_o examine_v other_o that_o be_v under_o his_o charge_n for_o than_o he_o shall_v be_v bind_v from_o his_o duty_n and_o therefore_o it_o hold_v not_o negative_o that_o no_o man_n may_v examine_v another_o and_o so_o both_o part_n may_v let_v this_o text_n rest_n 2._o the_o church_n of_o christ_n do_v never_o hold_v herself_o unconcerned_a in_o the_o admittance_n of_o member_n into_o her_o society_n in_o the_o primitive_a church_n when_o man_n of_o year_n come_v in_o unto_o the_o church_n from_o idolatry_n and_o heathenism_n they_o pass_v a_o severe_a test_n and_o be_v catechize_v a_o long_a time_n before_o they_o become_v competent_n for_o baptism_n and_o at_o their_o baptism_n have_v question_n propound_v and_o by_o they_o answer_v as_o touch_v their_o faith_n and_o purpose_n of_o life_n and_o have_v past_o the_o test_n than_o it_o be_v needless_a at_o the_o supper_n except_o they_o fall_v into_o gross_a sin_n but_o that_o case_n and_o we_o be_v different_a when_o all_o be_v baptize_v in_o infancy_n and_o therefore_o must_v be_v catechize_v and_o instruct_v in_o the_o fundamental_o of_o religion_n and_o have_v the_o test_n of_o the_o church_n before_o they_o come_v to_o the_o lord_n table_n or_o else_o never_o 3._o therefore_o in_o all_o gospel_n church_n we_o may_v find_v footstep_n of_o this_o exploration_n look_v into_o the_o romish_a and_o popish_a way_n they_o have_v auricular_a concession_n which_o be_v a_o mixture_n of_o tyranny_n and_o superstition_n but_o the_o people_n must_v pass_v this_o test_n which_o do_v not_o they_o ignorant_o take_v for_o a_o easy_a way_n of_o pardon_n of_o sin_n they_o will_v be_v

how_o willing_o a_o patient_a will_v answer_v a_o physician_n question_v he_o about_o his_o bodily_a estate_n and_o a_o client_n his_o counsellor_n question_v he_o about_o his_o title_n or_o because_o because_o both_o be_v in_o order_n to_o advise_v and_o help_v of_o they_o that_o can_v help_v themselves_o and_o such_o be_v this_o if_o it_o be_v so_o well_o interpret_v but_o misrepresentation_n
