and_o whether_o the_o church_n be_v our_o mother_n in_o who_o chamber_n we_o must_v live_v and_o abide_v as_o her_o true_a child_n for_o hereof_o we_o make_v no_o doubt_n but_o this_o be_v the_o whole_a controversy_n namely_o whether_o they_o be_v the_o true_a church_n or_o rather_o the_o clean_a contrary_a a_o false_a strumpet_n which_o have_v drive_v the_o true_a mother_n out_o of_o door_n

every_o day_n 9_o but_o yet_o there_o arise_v one_o nay_o two_o difficulty_n more_o upon_o this_o matter_n for_o first_o if_o this_o bridegroom_n be_v find_v no_o where_o but_o in_o his_o church_n and_o this_o church_n be_v our_o mother_n how_o can_v it_o be_v that_o this_o spouse_n find_v he_o without_o for_o how_o may_v it_o be_v say_v that_o she_o bring_v he_o in_o into_o this_o house_n if_o he_o be_v there_o already_o and_o that_o she_o find_v he_o there_o the_o answer_n be_v that_o it_o be_v true_a indeed_o that_o this_o bridegroom_n dwell_v that_o be_v to_o say_v declare_v his_o virtue_n and_o healthful_a power_n in_o this_o house_n but_o it_o follow_v not_o thereupon_o that_o he_o go_v not_o forth_o as_o i_o may_v say_v until_o he_o find_v his_o child_n even_o in_o the_o bosom_n of_o this_o backslide_n whore_n as_o in_o our_o time_n he_o have_v fetch_v they_o and_o yet_o fetch_v they_o every_o day_n out_o of_o these_o sink_n of_o monastery_n to_o bring_v they_o into_o his_o house_n so_o he_o go_v out_o of_o jerusalem_n and_o send_v into_o the_o east_n and_o west_n to_o call_v we_o to_o make_v we_o to_o draw_v near_o unto_o he_o we_o i_o say_v which_o be_v poor_a gentile_n and_o nothing_o less_o than_o his_o people_n to_o bring_v we_o into_o his_o admirable_a light_n ephes_n 12.12_o and_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o this_o spouse_n find_v her_o bridegroom_n abroad_o from_o who_o she_o be_v as_o we_o have_v most_o ample_o declare_v before_o stray_v aside_o and_o wander_v 10_o the_o other_o difficulty_n arise_v upon_o this_o manner_n of_o speech_n that_o the_o spouse_n cause_v her_o bridegroom_n to_o enter_v into_o her_o mother_n house_n see_v on_o the_o contrary_a side_n it_o be_v the_o bridegroom_n who_o seek_v after_o we_o and_o find_v we_o and_o bring_v we_o in_o into_o his_o house_n this_o be_v most_o true_a and_o we_o must_v do_v god_n this_o honour_n to_o confess_v that_o it_o be_v he_o who_o according_a unto_o his_o infinite_a goodness_n as_o he_o have_v destinate_a we_o unto_o salvation_n in_o his_o son_n before_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o woorlde_n so_o do_v he_o in_o his_o time_n prevent_v we_o seek_v after_o we_o all_o when_o we_o be_v stray_v &_o find_v we_o when_o we_o be_v flee_v from_o he_o and_o bring_v we_o into_o his_o house_n which_o be_v also_o the_o dwell_a place_n and_o habitation_n of_o our_o good_a and_o holy_a mother_n but_o this_o be_v after_o such_o a_o manner_n notwithstanding_o that_o we_o be_v not_o all_o this_o while_n like_o block_n and_o troncke_n which_o a_o man_n find_v &_o carry_v whither_o he_o will_v without_o any_o feel_n or_o motion_n in_o themselves_o god_n then_o seek_v after_o we_o form_v in_o we_o the_o desire_n to_o seek_v after_o he_o he_o find_v we_o give_v we_o

bring_v we_o into_o the_o house_n of_o our_o mother_n bestow_v on_o we_o the_o grace_n of_o desire_v to_o join_v ourselves_o unto_o the_o company_n of_o the_o true_a church_n never_o to_o stir_v or_o
