if_o the_o altar_n be_v measure_v which_o be_v jewish_n and_o not_o christian_a than_o we_o ought_v to_o have_v a_o altar_n yea_o one_o set_v form_n of_o altar_n under_o the_o gospel_n who_o doubt_v but_o the_o altar_n be_v also_o measure_v for_o the_o text_n say_v it_o express_o now_o by_o altar_n be_v mean_v the_o worship_n as_o by_o temple_n the_o church_n and_o so_o it_o be_v common_o use_v in_o all_o the_o new_a testament_n the_o altar_n be_v put_v by_o synecdoche_n locum_fw-la piscator_fw-la in_o locum_fw-la for_o all_o the_o worship_n in_o the_o gospel_n as_o the_o temple_n for_o the_o church_n and_o here_o master_n prin_fw-mi give_v a_o good_a encouragement_n to_o the_o papist_n for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o their_o altar_n if_o he_o will_v interpret_v these_o scripture_n literal_o the_o apostle_n say_v heb._n 13._o 10._o we_o have_v a_o altar_n etc._n etc._n and_o what_o can_v the_o papist_n infer_v otherwise_o if_o they_o will_v argue_v from_o the_o word_n but_o that_o there_o may_v be_v altar_n now_o for_o that_o he_o say_v it_o refer_v to_o the_o jewish_a not_o christian_n church_n if_o he_o mean_v by_o refer_v that_o there_o be_v use_v the_o term_n give_v to_o the_o worship_n and_o church_n of_o the_o jew_n it_o be_v grant_v but_o if_o as_o his_o word_n carry_v it_o he_o mean_v that_o it_o be_v mean_v of_o the_o jewish_a church_n and_o the_o measure_n of_o their_o discipline_n and_o worship_n nothing_o can_v be_v more_o absurd_a because_o that_o church-state_n they_o be_v in_o be_v disannul_v and_o new_a ordinance_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v bring_v in_o and_o the_o book_n of_o the_o revelation_n be_v not_o a_o history_n but_o a_o prophecy_n nay_o the_o holy_a ghost_n use_v the_o same_o word_n and_o term_n of_o the_o worship_n and_o ordinance_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n in_o express_v the_o worship_n of_o the_o new_a gives_z a_o clear_a ground_n to_o infer_v that_o as_o their_o pattern_n be_v punctual_o describe_v viz._n of_o the_o

be_v that_o measure_n of_o the_o temple_n speak_v of_o in_o ezech._n 40._o and_o 41._o chap._n but_o the_o exact_a describe_v of_o the_o frame_n and_o fashion_n of_o it_o with_o the_o utensil_n in_o

revelation_n be_v first_o that_o under_o the_o gospel_n there_o be_v a_o temple_n and_o altar_n that_o be_v a_o church_n and_o worship_n in_o it_o second_o that_o this_o be_v to_o be_v measure_v that_o be_v the_o exact_a proportion_n of_o it_o take_v now_o nothing_o can_v be_v measure_v without_o a_o rule_n and_o the_o follow_a word_n clear_v it_o for_o the_o holy_a ghost_n speak_v of_o witness_n who_o give_v testimony_n to_o it_o and_o be_v slay_v for_o it_o now_o who_o will_v be_v so_o use_v for_o that_o which_o be_v never_o write_v as_o a_o rule_n but_o leave_v arbitrary_a to_o every_o nation_n and_o kingdom_n and_o that_o it_o be_v worship_n they_o witness_v to_o be_v plain_a both_o from_o the_o word_n temple_n and_o altar_n be_v never_o use_v for_o doctrine_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n but_o for_o discipline_n and_o worship_n as_o likewise_o from_o the_o type_n and_o parallel_n of_o they_o as_o compare_v vers_n 4._o with_o zach._n 4._o now_o what_o do_v joshua_n and_o zerubbabel_n witness_n to_o but_o the_o worship_n it_o be_v master_n brightman_n note_v upon_o the_o place_n pag._n 347._o the_o true_a christian_a church_n be_v shadow_v out_o by_o the_o type_n of_o the_o old_a temple_n each_o part_n whereof_o be_v most_o exact_o decipher_v and_o measure_v out_o in_o the_o old_a by_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n himself_o and_o that_o unto_o this_o end_n that_o man_n may_v know_v that_o this_o house_n be_v frame_v by_o god_n and_o be_v not_o make_v by_o man_n might_n and_o cunning_a and_o that_o therefore_o they_o shall_v not_o take_v upon_o they_o any_o power_n to_o change_v matter_n at_o their_o pleasure_n as_o if_o the_o divine_a wisdom_n have_v not_o provide_v sufficient_o to_o ordain_v every_o thing_n in_o the_o fit_a manner_n that_o can_v be_v thus_o far_o he_o so_o that_o yet_o reader_n you_o may_v see_v that_o this_o argument_n be_v not_o yet_o quell_v nor_o the_o absurdity_n of_o it_o in_o any_o measure_n show_v how_o ere_o the_o full_a replyer_n boast_v and_o give_v it_o out_o to_o the_o world_n but_o yet_o to_o make_v this_o more_o evident_a let_v this_o be_v a_o argument_n that_o which_o tend_v to_o the_o salvation_n and_o edification_n of_o the_o soul_n must_v be_v appoint_v by_o god_n and_o so_o have_v the_o word_n for_o its_o rule_n but_o such_o do_v discipline_n in_o a_o church_n ergo_fw-la the_o major_n be_v deny_v by_o none_o that_o i_o know_v yet_o for_o instance_n the_o sacrament_n bread_n and_o wine_n and_o water_n have_v nothing_o in_o themselves_o or_o their_o own_o nature_n to_o produce_v such_o spiritual_a effect_n as_o they_o do_v but_o only_o because_o christ_n have_v institute_v they_o to_o that_o purpose_n and_o it_o be_v that_o which_o give_v they_o such_o a_o efficacy_n this_o be_v the_o great_a and_o indeed_o unanswerable_a argument_n the_o nonconformist_a always_o use_v against_o the_o ceremony_n that_o the_o imposer_n of_o they_o put_v a_o peculiar_a significancie_n in_o they_o and_o give_v they_o as_o help_v fit_a and_o apt_a to_o stir_v up_o the_o dull_a mind_n of_o man_n the_o better_a to_o serve_v god_n as_o be_v express_v in_o the_o preface_n of_o the_o book_n of_o common-prayer_n now_o say_v they_o none_o can_v give_v that_o as_o a_o help_n to_o build_v up_o a_o man_n soul_n or_o to_o stir_v he_o up_o to_o any_o spiritual_a thing_n which_o in_o its_o own_o nature_n have_v nothing_o to_o produce_v such_o a_o effect_n unless_o they_o can_v give_v these_o thing_n power_n for_o the_o work_n of_o it_o and_o nothing_o but_o what_o come_v from_o god_n will_v carry_v to_o god_n for_o the_o minor_a or_o assumption_n that_o the_o discipline_n of_o the_o church_n be_v for_o salvation_n the_o apostle_n be_v clear_a in_o 1_o cor._n 5._o 5._o speak_v of_o excommunication_n one_o of_o the_o chief_a part_n of_o discipline_n say_v it_o be_v for_o the_o salvation_n of_o the_o soul_n now_o what_o be_v say_v of_o that_o may_v be_v say_v of_o every_o part_n of_o discipline_n every_o part_n be_v homogeneal_a and_o of_o the_o same_o nature_n i_o will_v end_v this_o with_o the_o say_n of_o master_n brightman_n on_o rev._n 2._o p._n 50._o the_o government_n of_o the_o church_n be_v common_a to_o all_o time_n and_o place_n and_o be_v not_o permit_v to_o be_v at_o the_o arbitrement_n of_o man_n to_o follow_v what_o they_o listen_v but_o always_o in_o reform_v church_n we_o must_v have_v recourse_n to_o the_o first_o beginning_n unto_o the_o which_o as_o our_o only_a rule_n we_o must_v call_v back_o what_o ever_o stray_v from_o it_o and_o that_o they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v turn_v and_o tune_v according_a to_o the_o crookedness_n and_o jar_a sound_n of_o succeed_a church_n in_o the_o next_o place_n say_v he_o he_o pretend_v my_o three_o querie_n contradict_v the_o first_o because_o i_o suppose_v a_o church_n government_n may_v be_v consonant_a to_o god_n word_n in_o the_o general_a which_o be_v not_o particular_o prescribe_v in_o it_o a_o pretty_a fancy_n quoth_v he_o as_o if_o nothing_o can_v be_v consonant_a to_o god_n word_n which_o be_v not_o particularise_v or_o verbal_o enjoin_v in_o it_o to_o which_o i_o answer_v pass_v by_o many_o bitter_a expression_n that_o follow_v it_o that_o thing_n to_o be_v do_v in_o or_o about_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n be_v either_o matter_n of_o circumstance_n as_o garment_n place_n time_n etc._n etc._n such_o as_o these_o come_v under_o general_a rule_n of_o the_o word_n such_o as_o that_o 1_o cor._n 14._o to_o let_v all_o thing_n be_v do_v decent_o and_o that_o they_o be_v
