in_o the_o world_n that_o the_o devil_n can_v carry_v a_o man_n or_o woman_n from_o one_o country_n to_o another_o if_o god_n give_v he_o leave_v but_o so_o as_o he_o can_v do_v it_o with_o such_o celerity_n and_o expedition_n as_o man_n imagine_v some_o foolish_o think_v he_o can_v carry_v one_o many_o hundred_o mile_n in_o a_o hour_n which_o be_v a_o thing_n impossible_a for_o such_o a_o violent_a motion_n will_v stop_v a_o man_n breath_n as_o we_o see_v if_o a_o man_n fall_v from_o the_o top_n of_o a_o high_a steeple_n his_o wind_n be_v go_v ere_o he_o come_v half_a the_o way_n to_o the_o ground_n again_o hence_o we_o see_v that_o the_o devil_n may_v by_o god_n permission_n have_v power_n over_o the_o body_n of_o godly_a man_n and_o those_o which_o have_v great_a grace_n and_o strong_a faith_n in_o god_n for_o see_v he_o have_v power_n over_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n to_o transport_v it_o from_o place_n to_o place_n by_o the_o permission_n of_o god_n why_o may_v he_o not_o if_o god_n give_v he_o leave_v have_v power_n of_o any_o man_n body_n though_o he_o be_v never_o so_o true_a a_o believer_n if_o he_o have_v power_n in_o the_o head_n why_o not_o in_o the_o member_n if_o he_o have_v power_n to_o annoy_n job_n to_o kill_v his_o child_n &_o destroy_v they_o though_o they_o be_v no_o doubt_n the_o holy_a servant_n of_o god_n why_o may_v not_o the_o devil_n have_v power_n over_o our_o body_n to_o carry_v a_o man_n from_o one_o place_n to_o another_o if_o the_o devil_n can_v by_o god_n permission_n torment_v the_o body_n of_o one_o that_o be_v a_o daughter_n of_o faithful_a abraham_n 10._o and_o even_o 18._o year_n afflict_v she_o so_o as_o she_o be_v bruise_v and_o bow_v together_o by_o satan_n then_o no_o doubt_n he_o can_v do_v the_o less_o to_o remove_v man_n body_n from_o place_n to_o place_n and_o this_o may_v serve_v to_o admonish_v those_o use_v who_o think_v their_o faith_n be_v so_o strong_a that_o the_o devil_n can_v annoy_v they_o or_o any_o way_n bewitch_v they_o but_o if_o the_o devil_n have_v power_n by_o god_n permission_n to_o torment_v the_o body_n of_o the_o faithful_a yea_o to_o destroy_v the_o body_n of_o job_n child_n who_o no_o doubt_n be_v the_o true_a servant_n of_o god_n he_o may_v if_o god_n give_v he_o leave_v bewitch_v the_o godly_a man_n that_o live_v for_o we_o know_v what_o the_o holy_a ghost_n faith_n that_o all_o thing_n fall_v out_o 2._o and_o all_o thing_n come_v alike_o to_o good_a and_o bad_a and_o there_o be_v no_o difference_n in_o outward_a thing_n oftentimes_o between_o the_o child_n of_o god_n and_o the_o wicked_a to_o the_o holy_a city_n that_o be_v jerusalem_n holy_a luk._n 4._o 9_o now_o this_o city_n be_v call_v holy_a for_o sundry_a cause_n first_o because_o in_o jerusalem_n be_v the_o temple_n of_o the_o lord_n where_o be_v the_o sacrifice_n and_o other_o ceremony_n prescribe●_n by_o god_n for_o his_o own_o worship_n second_o i●_n the_o temple_n they_o have_v the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o the_o book_n of_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n read_v an●_n expound_v unto_o they_o three_o because_o jerusalem_n be_v a_o mother_n church_n from_o whenc●_n religion_n do_v flow_v and_o be_v disperse_v into_o many_o place_n of_o the_o world_n now_o for_o these_o consideration_n jerusalem_n be_v call_v the_o holy_a city_n this_o church_n at_o jerusalem_n though_o it_o hao_v many_o corruption_n in_o it_o 1_o yet_o our_o saviour_n christ_n call_v it_o holy_a and_o it_o be_v a_o true_a church_n of_o god_n then_o hence_o i_o conclude_v that_o the_o church_n of_o god_n in_o england_n though_o there_o be_v in_o it_o many_o blemish_n &_o corruption_n yet_o may_v it_o be_v and_o in_o truth_n be_v the_o true_a church_n of_o god_n for_o the_o church_n of_o god_n in_o england_n be_v proprotionable_a to_o the_o church_n at_o jerusalem_fw-la for_o as_o they_o have_v moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n read_v and_o expound_v so_o have_v we_o nay_o we_o have_v the_o gospel_n now_o sound_o preach_v which_o they_o then_o have_v not_o in_o so_o plain_a and_o plentiful_a manner_n as_o we_o have_v they_o have_v the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n so_o we_o have_v baptism_n and_o the_o supper_n of_o the_o lord_n their_o church_n be_v a_o mother_n church_n to_o derive_v religion_n to_o many_o other_o and_o though_o our_o church_n can_v be_v call_v a_o mother_n church_n yet_o it_o may_v be_v true_o call_v a_o nource_a church_n to_o many_o neighbour_n church_n round_o about_o us._n as_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n do_v not_o therefore_o separate_v themselves_o or_o refuse_v to_o join_v with_o they_o in_o the_o service_n of_o god_n because_o of_o the_o corruption_n in_o this_o church_n at_o jerusalem_n but_o do_v teach_v and_o preach_v in_o the_o temple_n so_o none_o may_v therefore_o separate_v themselves_o and_o refuse_v to_o join_v with_o the_o people_n of_o god_n in_o his_o service_n and_o worship_n because_o of_o some_o few_o corruption_n that_o remain_v in_o it_o nay_o such_o as_o for_o these_o do_v separate_v themselves_o from_o god_n people_n do_v cut_v themselves_o from_o christ_n himself_o see_v they_o sever_v themselves_o from_o the_o church_n of_o god_n if_o any_o shall_v say_v that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v the_o true_a church_n of_o god_n as_o well_o as_o the_o church_n of_o jerusalem_n see_v the_o romish_a church_n have_v as_o many_o privilege_n as_o the_o church_n at_o jerusalem_n i_o answer_v by_o examine_v the_o particular_n it_o will_v appear_v to_o the_o contrary_n church_n as_o first_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n brag_v that_o she_o have_v her_o succession_n from_o the_o apostle_n but_o i_o answer_v succession_n from_o person_n without_o succession_n in_o the_o apostle_n doctrine_n can_v be_v no_o true_a note_n of_o the_o church_n second_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n yet_o that_o prove_v he●_n not_o the_o true_a church_n for_o in_o samaria_n they_o have_v the_o sacrament_n of_o circumcision_n and_o so_o in_o other_o place_n and_o yet_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v that_o they_o be_v the_o true_a church_n of_o god_n beside_o i_o answer_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v baptism_n no_o otherwise_o then_o a_o thief_n have_v a_o true_a man_n purse_n now_o it_o can_v be_v say_v that_o a_o thief_n be_v therefore_o a_o true_a man_n because_o he_o have_v a_o true_a man_n purse_n last_o though_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v the_o outward_a baptism_n yet_o she_o in_o doctrine_n overturn_v the_o inward_a baptism_n namely_o the_o true_a impute_a justification_n and_o inherent_a sanctification_n of_o christ_n by_o the_o spirit_n 3_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n hold_v the_o apostle_n creed_n but_o it_o be_v only_o in_o word_n for_o the_o truth_n be_v their_o god_n who_o they_o worship_v be_v a_o idol_n and_o their_o christ_n be_v a_o false_a &_o counterfeit_a christ_n forge_v by_o their_o own_o brain_n as_o may_v appear_v to_o all_o that_o will_v search_v their_o doctrine_n 4_o she_o say_v that_o they_o hold_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o write_n of_o the_o apostle_n but_o it_o will_v appear_v in_o their_o write_n that_o they_o hold_v it_o but_o in_o show_n not_o in_o truth_n for_o in_o the_o main_a ground_n of_o religion_n they_o overturn_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o prophet_n &_o apostle_n again_o they_o hold_v the_o scripture_n but_o as_o a_o lantern_n hold_v the_o candle_n not_o for_o itself_o but_o for_o those_o that_o pass_v by_o so_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v the_o word_n of_o god_n not_o for_o themselves_o but_o for_o the_o good_a of_o god_n child_n which_o ever_o lie_v hide_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o popery_n 5_o she_o brag_v that_o she_o be_v the_o mother-church_n of_o many_o church_n i_o answer_v we_o must_v consider_v that_o city_n as_o rome_n be_v and_o as_o rome_n be_v the_o old_a rome_n which_o be_v in_o the_o time_n of_o paul_n be_v the_o true_a church_n of_o god_n but_o as_o for_o that_o old_a rome_n it_o be_v dead_a and_o bury_v and_o this_o new_a rome_n be_v that_o whore_n of_o babylon_n &_o no_o mother-church_n but_o a_o cruel_a stepmother_n to_o religion_n by_o all_o this_o we_o may_v see_v that_o the_o present_a church_n of_o rome_n be_v no_o church_n of_o god_n but_o only_o in_o name_n and_o outward_a show_n and_o see_v that_o the_o devil_n tempt_v our_o saviour_n christ_n in_o the_o holy_a city_n we_o learn_v that_o there_o be_v no_o place_n so_o holy_a but_o the_o devil_n can_v broach_v his_o temptation_n in_o it_o as_o we_o may_v see_v zach._n 3._o 1._o 2._o and_o therefore_o this_o condemn_v that_o dotage_n and_o sorcery_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n who_o teach_v that_o their_o charm_a holy_a water_n their_o
