Crashawe, Batchelour of Diuinitie, and preacher at the temple; iustified by the authour, both against papist, and Brownist, to be the truth: wherein, this point is principally followed; namely, that the religion of Rome, as now it stands established, is worse then euer it was.

can_v that_o be_v but_o a_o lawful_a &_o holy_a ministry_n which_o bring_v man_n to_o salvation_n therefore_o upon_o their_o own_o ground_n they_o have_v no_o just_a cause_n to_o leave_v us._n for_o that_o church_n and_o ministry_n that_o bring_v a_o man_n to_o grace_n and_o to_o faith_n be_v able_a to_o bring_v he_o to_o glory_n &_o salvation_n and_o that_o which_o be_v able_a effectual_o to_o

they_o seek_v and_o sufficient_o endeavour_v our_o heal_n and_o till_o they_o have_v do_v all_o that_o possible_a can_v be_v do_v for_o our_o heal_n how_o dare_v they_o forsake_v we_o for_o if_o the_o

not_o more_o serious_o labour_v the_o heal_n of_o other_o they_o can_v but_o know_v there_o be_v many_o in_o our_o church_n curable_a enough_o if_o they_o can_v show_v they_o to_o need_v their_o heal_n why_o then_o do_v not_o they_o stay_v among_o we_o to_o heal_v and_o help_v we_o he_o be_v no_o good_a physician_n that_o fly_v and_o forsake_v his_o patient_n they_o therefore_o if_o they_o be_v healer_n and_o will_v heal_v we_o as_o they_o pretend_v why_o do_v they_o not_o stay_v with_o we_o &_o show_v we_o our_o wound_n and_o apply_v the_o mean_n to_o heal_v we_o but_o contrariwise_o they_o forsake_v we_o and_o run_v into_o corner_n and_o rail_v on_o we_o and_o call_v we_o babylon_n antichristian_a and_o the_o synagogue_n of_o the_o wicked_a and_o that_o we_o be_v no_o church_n and_o christ_n be_v not_o among_o us._n be_v these_o the_o plaster_n with_o which_o you_o will_v heal_v we_o be_v this_o the_o way_n to_o heal_v to_o make_v wound_n wide_a and_o deep_a than_o indeed_o they_o be_v he_o be_v a_o pitiful_a physician_n that_o make_v his_o patient_n worse_o than_o he_o find_v he_o but_o he_o be_v not_o tolerable_a that_o make_v he_o worse_o than_o indeed_o he_o be_v or_o will_v make_v he_o believe_v he_o be_v hearte-sicke_a and_o deadly_a when_o his_o finger_n ak_v they_o allege_v persecution_n and_o that_o therefore_o they_o can_v stay_v with_o we_o but_o be_v constrain_v to_o leave_v we_o but_o assure_o be_v it_o true_a that_o they_o say_v that_o we_o be_v deadly_o wound_v and_o they_o able_a to_o heal_v we_o then_o see_v they_o can_v say_v that_o all_o among_o we_o be_v incurable_a they_o will_v care_v for_o no_o danger_n that_o can_v befall_v their_o body_n so_o that_o they_o may_v heal_v our_o soul_n and_o gain_v they_o to_o god_n therefore_o i_o conclude_v that_o if_o we_o will_v grant_v they_o their_o own_o ground_n that_o they_o be_v as_o good_a as_o they_o pretend_v to_o be_v and_o we_o as_o ill_a as_o they_o will_v make_v we_o yet_o
