A19589	The sermon preached at the Crosse, Feb. xiiii. 1607. By W. 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 intended; that the religion of Rome, as now it stands established, is still as bad as euer it was	Crashaw, William, 1572-1626.	1609 (1609)	STC 6028; ESTC S118191	115,004	191

leave_v our_o church_n not_o out_o of_o conscience_n but_o out_o of_o carnal_a discontent_n and_o upon_o fleshly_a reason_n and_o worldly_a ground_n they_o all_o stout_o answer_v and_o stiff_o stand_v to_o it_o that_o they_o do_v it_o not_o upon_o any_o such_o ground_n not_o for_o any_o reason_n of_o flesh_n &_o blood_n but_o mere_o and_o only_o out_o of_o conscience_n and_o for_o their_o

we_o then_o where_o come_v they_o to_o that_o conscience_n and_o care_n of_o their_o salvation_n but_o in_o our_o church_n now_o a_o good_a conscience_n can_v be_v sever_v from_o regeneration_n and_o a_o effectual_a call_n therefore_o they_o can_v deny_v but_o they_o be_v regenerate_v and_o call_v in_o our_o church_n unless_o they_o will_v say_v they_o have_v no_o conscience_n when_o they_o

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

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

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 &_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 heart_n sick_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

of_o who_o he_o conclude_v in_o the_o next_o article_n that_o she_o be_v by_o no_o mean_n to_o be_v worship_v with_o latria_fw-la but_o only_o with_o a_o inferior_a worship_n call_v hyperdulia_fw-la and_o mark_v what_o wooden_a argument_n be_v give_v for_o it_o one_o she_o be_v a_o reasonable_a creature_n &_o therefore_o must_v not_o be_v worship_v with_o latria_fw-la lo_o she_o must_v not_o

be_v worship_v with_o latria_fw-la but_o be_v not_o she_o like_a to_o christ_n then_o any_o cross_n can_v be_v a_o three_o the_o cross_n do_v bear_v christ_n and_o do_v touch_v his_o body_n therefore_o it_o must_v be_v worship_v with_o latria_fw-la but_o do_v not_o she_o bear_v he_o and_o touch_v he_o and_o his_o bless_a body_n in_o a_o far_o more_o excellent_a manner_n then_o the_o
