that_z the_o outward_a constitution_n of_o the_o church_n be_v but_o as_o the_o tithe_n of_o mint_n annise_v and_o commin_n etc._n etc._n whosoever_o have_v their_o 〈◊〉_d exercise_v to_o discern_v

by_o that_o which_o have_v be_v say_v that_o it_o be_v very_o frivolous_a and_o of_o no_o weight_n at_o all_o the_o proposition_n or_o first_o part_n have_v nothing_o for_o the_o ground_n of_o it_o

and_o in_o both_o against_o himself_o and_o their_o church_n estate_n when_o church_n be_v set_v in_o the_o constitution_n and_o way_n of_o christ_n if_o afterward_o they_o fall_v into_o some_o

to_o be_v such_o as_o they_o will_v rather_o abide_v in_o error_n then_o obey_v the_o truth_n and_o voice_n of_o christ_n this_o so_o wilful_a persist_v simple_o overthrow_v such_o a_o company_n

be_v against_o he_o and_o their_o church_n as_o will_v yet_o further_o appear_v by_o that_o which_o be_v now_o to_o be_v speak_v of_o his_o question_n wherein_o he_o will_v be_v resolve_v he_o ask_v

although_o their_o church_n receyve_v they_o yet_o be_v mr_n jacobs_n defence_n as_o sound_v for_o they_o then_o as_o it_o be_v now_o neither_o may_v any_o for_o these_o or_o the_o like_a separate_a

such_o be_v his_o latter_a book_n and_o such_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o it_o a_o very_a great_a and_o strange_a difference_n between_o two_o book_n set_v out_o by_o one_o and_o the_o same_o man_n

to_o the_o same_o church_n of_o corinth_n do_v himself_o plain_o declare_v that_o this_o be_v his_o meaning_n as_o namely_o in_o 1._o cor._n 1.12.13.17.19.20.21_o &_o 2_o cor._n 2.17_o &_o 4.2_o &_o 11.3.4.5_o 6_o for_o which_o cause_n it_o may_v well_o be_v think_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o this_o place_n do_v in_o great_a wisdom_n and_o of_o purpose_n compare_v their_o entice_a

abide_v the_o fire_n and_z to_o precious_a stone_n which_o be_v of_o great_a value_n to_o teach_v they_o by_o this_o comparison_n that_o albeit_o such_o manner_n of_o teach_v seem_v base_a in_o
