hundred_o year_n after_o christ_n and_o if_o she_o be_v not_o now_o what_o she_o be_v then_o in_o that_o respect_n i_o desire_v to_o be_v inform_v where_o that_o blood-drunken_a fornicatrix_fw-la

which_o the_o true_a church_n can_v only_o be_v know_v infallible_o therefore_o the_o present_a papal_a church_n of_o rome_n be_v not_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n those_o mark_n be_v 1._o antiquity_n 2._o succession_n 3._o universality_n of_o time_n and_o place_n 4._o visability_n 5._o sanctity_n 6._o unity_n 7._o miracle_n etc._n etc._n these_o be_v the_o principal_a the_o nine_o reason_n maintain_v that_o the_o present_a papal_a church_n can_v have_v the_o true_a mark_n of_o antiquity_n be_v thus_o evidence_v viz._n the_o papal_a church_n be_v a_o national_a church_n but_o no_o gospel_n church_n be_v national_a in_o the_o first_o age_n therefore_o no_o national_a church_n have_v the_o true_a mark_n of_o antiquity_n the_o strength_n of_o this_o argument_n lie_v in_o the_o clear_a difference_n of_o the_o state_n of_o the_o church_n under_o abraham_n and_o moses_n to_o what_o it_o be_v under_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n for_o the_o jewish_a church_n which_o be_v to_o be_v national_a take_v its_o form_n in_o a_o national_a way_n even_o in_o the_o very_a first_o family_n where_o it_o begin_v as_o appear_v gen._n 17._o where_o parent_n child_n and_o servant_n too_o must_v all_o be_v bring_v into_o that_o church-state_n forthwith_o or_o not_o be_v suffer_v to_o cohabit_n together_o which_o order_n must_v be_v keep_v in_o all_o the_o family_n of_o the_o jew_n as_o well_o in_o respect_n of_o their_o servant_n such_o as_o they_o buy_v with_o money_n as_o their_o child_n or_o any_o other_o and_o so_o the_o jewish_a church_n both_o in_o its_o beginning_n and_o its_o continuance_n act_v forth_o itself_o in_o a_o way_n suitable_a to_o itself_o but_o when_o the_o gospel_n church_n begin_v it_o be_v very_o evident_a that_o it_o 23._o take_v its_o beginning_n in_o the_o division_n of_o family_n and_o that_o by_o virtue_n of_o christ_n doctrine_n who_o affirm_v that_o he_o come_v to_o send_v fire_n on_o the_o earth_n not_o peace_n but_o rather_o division_n for_o say_v he_o from_o henceforth_o there_o shall_v be_v fix●●_n in_o one_o house_n divide_v three_o against_o two_o and_o two_o against_o three_o the_o father_n against_o the_o son_n and_o the_o son_n against_o the_o father_n the_o daughter_n against_o the_o mother_n and_o the_o mother_n against_o the_o daughter_n etc._n etc._n and_o all_o this_o for_o the_o gospel_n sake_n here_o a_o man_n must_v leave_v father_n mother_n wife_n and_o child_n for_o this_o cause_n you_o shall_v be_v betray_v both_o by_o parent_n and_o kinsfolk_n for_o this_o cause_n the_o unbelieving_a husband_n will_v put_v away_o his_o believe_a wife_n and_o for_o this_o cause_n the_o servant_n may_v refuse_v to_o follow_v his_o unbelieve_a master_n be_v christ_n freeman_n and_o yet_o dwell_v in_o his_o service_n as_o a_o servant_n notwithstanding_o thus_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o gospel-church_n take_v its_o beginning_n in_o a_o way_n quite_o contrary_a to_o the_o form_n of_o a_o national_a church_n even_o by_o turn_v the_o world_n or_o church_n of_o the_o jew_n up-side_n down_o which_o cause_v the_o jew_n to_o cry_v out_o man_n of_o israel_n help_v this_o be_v yet_o more_o evident_a by_o that_o thunder_a doctrine_n of_o the_o baptist_n when_o he_o say_v think_v not_o or_o begin_v not_o to_o say_v within_o yourselves_o 8._o we_o have_v abraham_n to_o our_o father_n no_o
