A88157	An answer to nine arguments. Written by T. B. Wherein is plainly from the scriptures shewed, the weaknesse of his arguments, whereby he undertakes to prove both the Church and Ministry of England true; as likewise describing the nature and properties of a true Church and Ministry. Written long since by that faithfull servant of God and his countrey, John Lilburne Lieftenant [sic] Collonell: and now published for further good, by a well-willer to him and the truth.	Lilburne, John, 1614?-1657.	1645 (1645)	Wing L2081; Thomason E25_7; ESTC R212845	46,842	48

worship_n now_o if_o you_o shall_v deny_v that_o your_o human_a invent_a diabolical_a book_n of_o common_a prayer_n and_o your_o sacred_a ceremony_n as_o your_o lord_n and_o master_n the_o bishop_n call_v they_o be_v not_o the_o worship_n with_o which_o you_o in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n worship_n and_o serve_v god_n the_o book_n of_o common_a prayer_n itself_o will_v confute_v you_o for_o there_o in_o the_o preface_n before_o that_o book_n of_o devise_a service_n and_o wicked_a man_n invention_n they_o ascribe_v to_o the_o dumb_a ceremony_n a_o sacramental_a naature_n and_o the_o

they_o that_o do_v it_o for_o there_o they_o say_v they_o be_v apt_a to_o stir_v up_o the_o dull_a mind_n of_o man_n to_o the_o remembrance_n of_o his_o duty_n to_o god_n by_o some_o notable_a and_o speaciall_a signification_n whereby_o he_o may_v be_v edefied_a also_o in_o the_o act_n of_o uniformity_n they_o themselves_o do_v confess_v that_o they_o be_v but_o of_o man_n invention_n and_o

have_v not_o the_o true_a worship_n of_o god_n and_o so_o by_o your_o own_o confession_n be_v not_o a_o true_a church_n of_o christ_n but_o now_o to_o answer_v your_o argument_n which_o you_o bring_v to_o prove_v your_o assumption_n which_o be_v this_o you_o have_v have_v those_o that_o have_v live_v and_o dye_v in_o the_o same_o worship_n which_o you_o still_o have_v and_o have_v be_v save_v in_o it_o therefore_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o true_a worship_n this_o you_o say_v but_o do_v not_o prove_v it_o in_o the_o least_o but_o still_o take_v that_o for_o grant_v which_o i_o deny_v which_o be_v that_o it_o do_v not_o therefore_o follow_v because_o some_o in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n have_v be_v save_v that_o have_v use_v your_o worship_n that_o therefore_o it_o be_v true_a worship_n for_o than_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o the_o worship_n in_o the_o papistry_n which_o in_o some_o respect_n be_v more_o grosser_n than_o you_o be_v a_o true_a worship_n for_o you_o dare_v not_o deny_v it_o which_o if_o you_o do_v you_o be_v not_o able_a to_o prove_v it_o that_o in_o the_o papistry_n there_o have_v not_o be_v many_o people_n that_o have_v live_v and_o die_v therein_o that_o have_v be_v save_v for_o the_o scripture_n do_v declare_v that_o god_n have_v a_o people_n there_o which_o he_o call_v upon_o to_o come_v out_o thence_o rev._n 18.4_o for_o he_o own_v his_o elect_n even_o in_o spiritual_a babylon_n yet_o for_o all_o this_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o their_o worship_n be_v or_o ever_o be_v a_o true_a worship_n though_o the_o riches_n of_o the_o grace_n and_o unfathomable_a goodness_n of_o the_o kindness_n and_o love_n of_o god_n do_v reach_v and_o extend_v so_o far_o as_o to_o save_v some_o that_o live_v and_o die_v in_o that_o worship_n as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o worship_n of_o england_n yet_o i_o say_v it_o be_v as_o extraordinary_a a_o work_n as_o the_o manifestation_n of_o god_n love_n to_o the_o thief_n upon_o the_o cross_n be_v but_o for_o all_o that_o i_o will_v maintain_v it_o that_o none_o of_o those_o that_o yield_v and_o submit_v themselves_o unto_o your_o or_o their_o worship_n can_v by_o the_o scripture_n prove_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o visible_a christian_a or_o a_o true_a believer_n if_o they_o shall_v be_v put_v by_o god_n people_n to_o prove_v it_o joh._n 14.21.23.24_o &_o 15.8.14_o col._n 15.19_o to_o
