A19569	A triall of our church-forsakers. Or A meditation tending to still the passions of unquiet Brownists, upon Heb.10.25 Wherein is iustified, against them, that the blessed Church of England 1 Is a true Church. 2 Hath a true ministry. 3 Hath a true worship.

lash_v who_o will_v rash_o father_n it_o to_o such_o a_o breach_n yea_o and_o they_o tell_v we_o that_o they_o will_v have_v their_o name_n from_o scripture_n not_o from_o man_n and_o will_v be_v

account_v good_a man_n will_v not_o tell_v we_o what_o this_o good_a man_n and_o that_o 2.5_o held_z and_o say_v but_o what_o jesus_n christ_n have_v leave_v to_o be_v hold_v in_o the_o sure_a word_n of_o god_n that_o their_o faith_n may_v not_o stand_v in_o the_o wisdom_n of_o man_n but_o yet_o before_o we_o believe_v they_o we_o must_v know_v in_o what_o scripture_n their_o name_n of_o

cast_v we_o out_o we_o may_v put_v they_o to_o the_o proof_n yet_o shall_v i_o by_o god_n help_n tender_v they_o this_o one_o reason_n among_o many_o to_o prove_v that_o we_o have_v a_o true_a church_n where_o there_o be_v the_o true_a matter_n and_o form_n of_o a_o true_a church_n there_o be_v a_o true_a church_n for_o this_o can_v be_v deny_v that_o the_o matter_n and_o form_n of_o a_o true_a man_n make_v a_o true_a man_n that_o be_v the_o body_n and_o soul_n unite_v so_o must_v it_o be_v in_o the_o church_n but_o our_o church_n have_v the_o true_a matter_n and_o form_n of_o a_o

matter_n the_o true_a matter_n of_o a_o true_a church_n be_v such_o as_o profess_v save_v

truth_n teach_v in_o the_o scripture_n and_o be_v prove_v thus_o that_o which_o make_v a_o man_n a_o true_a member_n of_o a_o true_a church_n that_o do_v make_v a_o true_a church_n for_o member_n do_v constitute_v the_o whole_a but_o profession_n of_o save_a truth_n make_v a_o true_a member_n of_o a_o true_a church_n for_o simon_n magus_n 38._o upon_o his_o profession_n be_v admit_v a_o member_n till_o he_o fall_v away_o and_o the_o eunuch_n upon_o the_o same_o profession_n be_v admit_v too_o by_o baptism_n and_o for_o aught_o we_o know_v continue_v for_o ever_o now_o that_o we_o in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n do_v profess_v save_v truth_n according_a to_o the_o scripture_n can_v be_v deny_v if_o the_o brownist_n say_v that_o we_o overthrow_v all_o by_o thousand_o of_o wicked_a life_n in_o person_n in_o and_o of_o our_o church_n i_o be_o sure_a that_o the_o church_n of_o corinth_n be_v worse_o than_o we_o can_v be_v in_o some_o thing_n it_o be_v too_o bad_a with_o envy_n 5._o carnal_a man_n uncharitable_a wretch_n that_o go_v to_o law_n before_o infidel_n scandalize_a the_o weak_a partake_v with_o idol_n heresy_n abuse_v of_o the_o lord_n supper_n by_o drunkenness_n

as_o those_o that_o be_v the_o church_n of_o god_n saint_n by_o calling_n 1.2_o and_o sanctify_v in_o christ_n jesus_n at_o least_o by_o a_o sanctification_n of_o consecration_n in_o baptism_n 10.29_o and_o their_o profession_n sol._n but_o say_v the_o brownist_n do_v profession_n make_v a_o church_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n will_v nothing_o but_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n serve_v for_o a_o true_a church_n then_o let_v they_o know_v that_o christ_n body_n may_v be_v take_v two_o way_n for_o a_o body_n of_o all_o those_o that_o shall_v be_v save_v 1.23_o and_o this_o be_v the_o catholic_a church_n which_o be_v in_o communion_n of_o saint_n for_o life_n and_o for_o a_o body_n of_o those_o that_o be_v in_o the_o way_n of_o salvation_n if_o they_o be_v not_o enemy_n to_o themselves_o as_o every_o branch_n in_o christ_n that_o bear_v not_o fruit_n 1.30_o thus_o the_o whole_a church_n of_o corinth_n be_v christ_n as_o well_o as_o any_o other_o part_n of_o the_o church_n and_o in_o christ_n jesus_n though_o too_o many_o member_n of_o it_o profess_v without_o power_n for_o profession_n bring_v a_o church_n into_o outward_a fellowship_n with_o christ_n body_n as_o bad_a servant_n with_o a_o good_a master_n and_o so_o into_o the_o way_n of_o be_v saving_o of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n if_o they_o resist_v not_o 29_o grieve_v not_o quench_v not_o or_o despise_v not_o the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n second_o for_o the_o form_n of_o a_o true_a church_n that_o be_v christ_n unite_v unto_o the_o person_n profess_v his_o save_a truth_n for_o as_o the_o form_n of_o a_o man_n be_v his_o soul_n unite_v to_o his_o body_n so_o the_o form_n of_o a_o church_n which_o be_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n be_v christ_n unite_v unto_o it_o now_o that_o christ_n be_v unite_v unto_o our_o church_n be_v prove_v thus_o because_o he_o give_v the_o law_n of_o union_n to_o we_o as_o to_o the_o body_n and_o make_v it_o effectual_a for_o conviction_n or_o conversion_n to_o serve_v the_o live_n and_o true_a god_n as_o a_o king_n be_v unite_v to_o his_o subject_n by_o his_o law_n and_o execution_n of_o they_o for_o reward_n and_o punishment_n so_o be_v jesus_n christ_n to_o our_o church_n as_o the_o head_n unite_v give_v law_n to_o the_o body_n for_o safety_n so_o do_v christ_n give_v law_n to_o we_o for_o our_o salvation_n in_o his_o word_n 147._o he_o have_v not_o deal_v so_o with_o every_o nation_n yet_o bless_v be_v his_o name_n he_o have_v so_o deal_v with_o we_o to_o the_o joy_n of_o our_o soul_n object_n true_o say_v the_o brownist_n we_o have_v his_o law_n but_o do_v not_o answer_v they_o in_o our_o life_n this_o do_v not_o cut_v we_o off_o be_v but_o true_a in_o part_n till_o christ_n have_v sue_v out_o his_o bill_n of_o divorce_n sol._n no_o more_o than_o the_o disobedience_n of_o a_o wife_n make_v she_o no_o wife_n the_o disobedience_n of_o a_o son_n no_o son_n and_o the_o disobedience_n of_o a_o servant_n no_o servant_n again_o christ_n be_v unite_v to_o we_o because_o he_o make_v his_o law_n effectual_a for_o the_o convince_a of_o all_o and_o for_o the_o convert_n of_o many_o soul_n to_o cleave_v unto_o he_o faithful_o 6._o we_o be_v baptize_v and_o so_o put_v on_o christ_n and_o be_v graff_v into_o the_o similitude_n of_o his_o death_n and_o resurrection_n but_o as_o we_o grow_v in_o age_n many_o grow_v in_o gracelessness_n and_o forget_v the_o covenant_n of_o their_o god_n 37._o then_o come_v the_o word_n of_o christ_n convince_a and_o call_v many_o back_n kill_v sin_n quicken_v grace_n 1.17_o and_o convert_v the_o heart_n of_o the_o

among_o we_o by_o the_o word_n and_o sacrament_n whence_o i_o pray_v do_v this_o proceed_v but_o from_o the_o influence_n and_o power_n of_o christ_n unite_v to_o we_o i_o be_o sure_a that_o christ_n be_v the_o way_n to_o heaven_n 14._o and_o one_o soul_n can_v be_v convert_v from_o the_o kingdom_n of_o sin_n to_o grace_n but_o it_o be_v by_o the_o power_n and_o influence_n of_o christ_n three_o office_n as_o he_o be_v a_o prophet_n 1.30_o he_o must_v be_v his_o wisdom_n to_o teach_v he_o repentance_n from_o dead_a work_n and_o faith_n in_o christ_n as_o he_o be_v a_o priest_n he_o must_v make_v his_o atonement_n betwixt_o god_n and_o he_o for_o righteousness_n and_o as_o he_o be_v a_o king_n he_o must_v overmaster_v the_o gate_n of_o hell_n and_o maintain_v he_o to_o himself_o in_o the_o way_n of_o salvation_n for_o sanctification_n and_o full_a redemption_n conclude_v therefore_o that_o if_o we_o have_v the_o matter_n and_o form_n of_o a_o true_a church_n we_o must_v be_v a_o

can_v conceive_v they_o to_o say_v of_o a_o true_a church_n in_o which_o they_o will_v make_v it_o up_o of_o these_o four_o ingredient_n first_o it_o must_v be_v a_o set_a congregation_n which_o we_o

and_o pagan_n but_o from_o all_o gross_a sin_n and_o sinner_n which_o do_v pollute_v the_o worship_n of_o the_o sincere_a service_n of_o god_n yet_o sure_o they_o will_v have_v they_o better_o teach_v and_o make_v good_a that_o by_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o member_n they_o may_v be_v joint_v in_o at_o last_o three_o it_o must_v have_v sufficient_a authority_n within_o itself_o for_o government_n
