we_o lutheran_n call_v we_o calvinist_n call_v we_o protestant_n or_o what_o they_o please_v we_o stand_v silent_a and_o return_v no_o vous_fw-fr aves_fw-la as_o utter_o unconcern_v in_o that_o call_n

they_o protestant_n he_o term_v now_o extend_v to_o all_o of_o their_o persuasion_n but_o it_o can_v never_o be_v prove_v that_o we_o take_v that_o name_n to_o ourselves_o or_o take_v any_o delight_n

shall_v utter_o be_v abolish_v 45._o come_v we_o now_o to_o the_o second_o sort_n to_o be_v confute_v namely_o such_o as_o be_v a_o shame_n to_o the_o name_n of_o christian_a and_o these_o may_v be_v reduce_v to_o three_o rank_n 1._o the_o profane_a 2._o the_o ignorant_a 3._o the_o factious_a to_o begin_v with_o the_o first_o such_o may_v just_o forfeit_v the_o title_n of_o christian_a who_o

46._o scipio_n the_o worthy_a conqueror_n of_o africa_n have_v a_o son_n that_o have_v nothing_o of_o his_o father_n but_o the_o name_n be_v cowardly_a dissolute_a and_o give_v to_o all_o debauchery_n it_o happen_v that_o he_o come_v into_o the_o senate-house_n with_o a_o ring_n on_o his_o finger_n wherein_o the_o picture_n of_o his_o father_n be_v most_o lively_o make_v where_o the_o council_n

they_o a_o reason_n of_o their_o denomination_n and_o they_o be_v utter_o unable_a to_o return_v any_o satisfaction_n 49._o laban_n be_v question_v for_o his_o cozonage_n by_o his_o nephew_n jacob_n

the_o custom_n of_o the_o place_n they_o live_v in_o it_o have_v be_v fashionable_a say_v they_o for_o many_o hundred_o of_o year_n our_o father_n grandfather_n great_a grandfather_n time_n out_o of_o

of_o goshen_n where_o the_o gospel_n have_v be_v so_o plentiful_o preach_v and_o public_o profess_v these_o thing_n i_o can_v as_o hearty_o wish_v they_o be_v false_a as_o i_o do_v plain_o know_v

christian_n best_o because_o no_o doubt_n impose_v if_o not_o by_o the_o command_n by_o the_o consent_n of_o god_n himself_o and_o therefore_o good_a reason_n it_o shall_v always_o continue_v as_o a_o honourable_a denomination_n we_o read_v gen._n 2.19_o that_o whatsoever_o adam_n call_v every_o live_a creature_n that_o be_v the_o name_n thereof_o it_o seem_v he_o give_v they_o expressive_a and_o

thereof_o so_o be_v it_o also_o because_o of_o the_o best_a matter_n contain_v therein_o the_o name_n christian_n well_o understand_v it_o preach_v a_o double_a

by_o christ_n we_o ourselves_o be_v also_o find_v sinner_n be_v therefore_o christ_n the_o minister_n of_o sin_n god_n forbid_v 24._o three_o we_o be_v sanctify_v by_o christ_n as_o well_o as_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o as_o it_o be_v say_v rom._n 15.16_o be_v sanctify_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n so_o it_o be_v say_v 1_o cor._n 1.2_o to_o they_o that_o be_v sanctify_v through_o christ_n jesus_n 25._o hitherto_o we_o have_v prove_v that_o christ_n goodness_n come_v parallel_v with_o the_o other_o two_o person_n in_o trinity_n in_o their_o relation_n to_o mankind_n create_v justify_v and_o sanctify_v we_o now_o it_o remain_v that_o we_o show_v what_o christ_n have_v peculiar_o do_v and_o suffer_v for_o we_o and_o this_o will_v plain_o appear_v if_o we_o consider_v how_o three_o part_n of_o four_o in_o the_o creed_n be_v make_v up_o of_o our_o saviour_n performance_n for_o our_o salvation_n wherein_o he_o alone_o have_v a_o personal_a interest_n 26._o christ_n it_o be_v who_o be_v conceive_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n christ_n it_o be_v who_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o virgin_n mary_n christ_n it_o be_v who_o suffer_v under_o pontius_n pilate_n christ_n it_o be_v who_o be_v crucify_v dead_a and_o bury_v christ_n it_o be_v who_o descend_v into_o hell_n christ_n it_o be_v who_o the_o three_o day_n rise_v again_o from_o the_o dead_a christ_n it_o be_v who_o sit_v on_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n almighty_a christ_n it_o shall_v be_v who_o shall_v come_v to_o judge_v both_o the_o quick_a and_o dead_a and_o thus_o we_o see_v that_o the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o creed_n be_v but_o a_o chronicle_n of_o christ_n achievement_n for_o mankind_n from_o who_o we_o be_v just_o call_v christian_n 27._o but_o some_o will_v say_v grant_v it_o fit_a that_o god_n servant_n shall_v be_v denominate_v from_o the_o second_o person_n in_o trinity_n yet_o why_o be_v they_o not_o call_v jesuit_n from_o jesus_n rather_o than_o christian_n from_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n 28._o i_o answer_v the_o name_n of_o jesus_n which_o signify_v a_o saviour_n be_v not_o of_o so_o transitive_a a_o nature_n as_o the_o word_n christ_n be_v nor_o can_v it_o be_v so_o proper_o apply_v to_o man_n without_o some_o suspicion_n of_o blasphemy_n and_o confine_v thereupon_o jesus_n import_v a_o saviour_n christ_n import_v anoint_v now_o every_o servant_n of_o god_n can_v be_v term_v a_o saviour_n but_o may_v proper_o be_v call_v a_o christ_n and_o a_o anoint_a 29._o this_o may_v be_v prove_v from_o the_o expression_n of_o david_n psal._n 45.7_o thou_o love_v righteousness_n and_o hate_v wickedness_n therefore_o god_n thy_o god_n have_v anoint_v thou_o with_o the_o oil_n of_o gladness_n above_o thy_o fellow_n see_v we_o here_o that_o christ_n be_v anoint_v above_o his_o fellow_n imply_v that_o his_o fellow_n be_v also_o anoint_v though_o in_o a_o inferior_a proportion_n though_o the_o grand_a shower_n of_o grace_n fall_v only_o on_o the_o head_n of_o our_o saviour_n yet_o some_o straggle_a drop_n do_v light_a on_o all_o they_o who_o true_o believe_v in_o he_o so_o that_o every_o saint_n of_o god_n be_v a_o little_a christ_n or_o anoint_v 30._o they_o may_v also_o be_v call_v christian_n that_o be_v the_o professor_n of_o the_o faith_n maintainer_n of_o the_o doctrine_n which_o christ_n deliver_v to_o his_o apostle_n and_o endeavourer_n to_o imitate_v the_o example_n which_o he_o set_v before_o they_o 31._o here_o we_o must_v not_o forget_v how_o the_o heathen_a make_v another_o deduction_n and_o etymology_n of_o the_o word_n christian_n for_o such_o pagan_n in_o the_o primitive_a time_n behold_v the_o love_n and_o charity_n betwixt_o christian_n how_o they_o mutual_o relieve_v each_o other_o want_n but_o especial_o how_o they_o converse_v together_o in_o the_o time_n of_o plague_n and_o epidemical_a disease_n comfort_v one_o another_o when_o heathen_a people_n start_v from_o the_o embrace_n of_o their_o near_a relation_n i_o say_v see_v this_o they_o conceive_v they_o be_v call_v christiani_n quasi_fw-la chrestani_fw-la from_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d the_o greek_a word_n for_o mild_a and_o meek_a as_o more_o merciful_a man_n more_o pitiful_a and_o compassionate_a person_n then_o any_o other_o 32._o but_o alas_o shall_v heathen_n now_o look_v on_o the_o carriage_n and_o conversation_n of_o christian_n one_o towards_o another_o how_o spiteful_a and_o cruel_a we_o be_v how_o bearish_a how_o boorish_a how_o brutish_a we_o be_v in_o our_o mutual_a dissension_n they_o will_v conclude_v we_o not_o call_v from_o meekness_n so_o ill_o we_o break_v our_o name_n 33._o come_v we_o now_o to_o the_o use_n of_o what_o have_v be_v deliver_v which_o may_v serve_v to_o confute_v two_o sort_n of_o people_n first_o those_o that_o be_v ashamed_a of_o the_o name_n christian_n second_o those_o that_o be_v ashame_n to_o the_o name_n christian._n for_o the_o first_o we_o charge_v this_o on_o the_o account_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n let_v they_o get_v it_o off_o as_o they_o can_v for_o the_o word_n christian_n in_o the_o city_n of_o rome_n be_v take_v to_o be_v a_o term_n of_o disgrace_n a_o note_n or_o brand_n of_o infamy_n so_o that_o when_o they_o will_v disparage_v a_o person_n they_o call_v he_o a_o observation_n christian_a which_o amount_v to_o as_o much_o as_o a_o silly_a fellow_n a_o mean_a man_n a_o man_n of_o no_o part_n or_o endowment_n 34._o and_o will_v you_o know_v the_o true_a cause_n thereof_o it_o be_v this_o all_o pregnant_a wit_n of_o able_a and_o active_a part_n or_o of_o high_a and_o honourable_a parentage_n enter_v themselves_o into_o some_o order_n if_o man_n of_o benedictines_n dominican_n franciscan_n carmelites_n jesuit_n etc._n etc._n if_o woman_n bridgittian_n clarians_n etc._n etc._n so_o that_o beside_o the_o name_n of_o christian_n they_o have_v a_o addition_n from_o their_o order_n to_o distinguish_v they_o from_o the_o common_a sort_n of_o people_n and_o if_o they_o be_v secular_o of_o any_o considerable_a eminency_n then_o be_v they_o know_v by_o their_o dignity_n of_o archdeacon_n bishop_n cardinal_n etc._n etc._n so_o that_o such_o plain_a poor_a people_n which_o be_v without_o welt_n or_o guard_n of_o any_o such_o religious_a accession_n be_v call_v christian_n as_o useless_a in_o the_o church_n save_v as_o ordinary_a person_n without_o any_o degree_n or_o dignity_n therein_o thus_o christian_n pass_v there_o for_o the_o civil_a expression_n of_o a_o fool_n and_o do_v not_o rome_n show_v herself_o to_o be_v antichristian_a to_o purpose_n where_o the_o name_n of_o christian_a pass_v for_o a_o term_n of_o dishonour_n or_o at_o the_o best_a of_o diminution_n 35._o in_o the_o second_o place_n we_o charge_v it_o on_o our_o romish_a adversary_n that_o they_o be_v ashamed_a of_o the_o name_n christian_n because_o they_o write_v themselves_o dominican_n franciscan_n carmelites_n etc._n etc._n please_v and_o pride_v themselves_o in_o those_o title_n while_o the_o name_n of_o christian_a though_o not_o actual_o disow_v be_v disuse_v by_o they_o and_o leave_v in_o silence_n and_o obscurity_n 36._o but_o here_o the_o romanist_n turn_v our_o own_o ordinance_n against_o we_o and_o assault_v we_o with_o our_o own_o weapon_n they_o heavy_o accuse_v we_o for_o be_v ashamed_a of_o the_o name_n christian_n because_o call_v ourselves_o lutheran_n calvinist_n hugenotes_n protestant_n remonstrant_n antiremonstrant_n etc._n etc._n thus_o as_o mary_n complain_v john_n 20.13_o they_o have_v take_v away_o the_o lord_n and_o i_o know_v not_o where_o they_o have_v lay_v he_o they_o charge_v we_o that_o we_o have_v leave_v out_o and_o lose_v christ_n under_o those_o many_o strange_a name_n we_o have_v assume_v to_o ourselves_o 37._o i_o must_v enlarge_v myself_o in_o answer_n to_o this_o objection_n and_o first_o i_o lie_v down_o this_o foundation_n that_o we_o never_o take_v these_o name_n unto_o ourselves_o but_o they_o be_v fix_v and_o fasten_v on_o we_o by_o the_o spleen_n &_o envy_n of_o our_o romish_a adversary_n and_o here_o we_o appeal_v to_o any_o unbiased_a person_n to_o be_v judge_n betwixt_o we_o whether_o this_o be_v fair_a and_o ingenuous_a deal_n of_o the_o papist_n who_o first_o asperse_v we_o with_o such_o nickname_n first_o call_v we_o so_o and_o then_o accuse_v we_o for_o be_v call_v so_o and_o this_o will_v plain_o appear_v upon_o a_o particular_a examination_n of_o the_o aforesaid_a name_n 38._o to_o begin_v with_o lutheran_n and_o calvinist_n this_o we_o say_v we_o acknowledge_v luther_n and_o calvin_n two_o eminent_a instrument_n of_o god_n glory_n in_o their_o generation_n whereof_o the_o first_o be_v more_o than_o a_o common_a man_n armed_z cap_z a_o pe_z with_o a_o courageous_a spirit_n to_o break_v through_o and_o rout_n the_o rank_n of_o the_o romish_a superstition_n however_o we_o utter_o disclaim_v to_o be_v call_v by_o their_o name_n call_v
