the_o church_n be_v no_o further_o visible_a than_o it_o be_v catholic_n and_o thus_o shall_v the_o church_n become_v visible_a according_a to_o the_o will_n and_o ordinance_n of_o god_n which_o be_v

if_o it_o be_v true_a how_o can_v it_o be_v in_o the_o power_n of_o any_o church_n or_o of_o the_o secular_a power_n that_o maintain_v it_o be_v bind_v to_o continue_v a_o member_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n to_o introduce_v that_o for_o reformation_n which_o can_v appear_v to_o be_v restore_v but_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v innovate_v which_o how_o shall_v it_o be_v do_v without_o own_v that_o ground_n of_o reformation_n which_o i_o have_v deliver_v and_o by_o consequence_n those_o bound_n which_o the_o say_a ground_n infer_v and_o i_o do_v very_o well_o believe_v that_o none_o of_o those_o who_o decline_v conformity_n with_o the_o church_n will_v have_v the_o face_n to_o deny_v this_o have_v they_o to_o do_v with_o the_o now_o missionary_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n for_o it_o will_v not_o serve_v their_o turn_n in_o answer_n to_o they_o to_o plead_v that_o the_o pope_n be_v antichrist_n and_o the_o papist_n idolater_n have_v reason_n to_o challenge_v that_o god_n have_v found_v a_o visible_a church_n it_o will_v be_v absolute_o necessary_a to_o plead_v though_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n have_v institute_v a_o visible_a church_n yet_o that_o by_o the_o malice_n of_o man_n it_o may_v be_v and_o be_v become_v invisible_a for_o the_o difficulty_n of_o find_v salvation_n by_o it_o though_o absolute_o visible_a because_o salvation_n may_v always_o be_v have_v in_o it_o it_o be_v easy_a for_o he_o that_o will_v answer_v they_o with_o a_o good_a conscience_n for_o truth_n and_o not_o for_o victory_n to_o maintain_v the_o church_n to_o be_v visible_a so_o far_o as_o the_o faith_n and_o the_o law_n thereof_o continue_v visible_a but_o that_o so_o far_o as_o the_o faith_n and_o law_n thereof_o may_v be_v disguise_v from_o that_o which_o be_v from_o the_o beginning_n so_o far_o it_o may_v and_o be_v to_o be_v say_v that_o the_o church_n which_o by_o god_n ordinance_n be_v and_o aught_o to_o be_v visible_a by_o humane_a disorder_n be_v become_v invisible_a which_o be_v say_v it_o follow_v immediate_o that_o as_o all_o estate_n in_o the_o church_n be_v oblige_v in_o their_o several_a quality_n to_o do_v their_o utmost_a that_o the_o church_n may_v be_v visible_a the_o salvation_n of_o all_o christian_n require_v they_o to_o resort_v to_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o church_n which_o they_o believe_v to_o be_v catholic_n so_o there_o be_v no_o other_o way_n to_o make_v it_o visible_a but_o to_o restore_v the_o faith_n and_o the_o law_n of_o the_o church_n that_o from_o the_o beginning_n make_v it_o visible_a and_o therefore_o no_o christian_a church_n or_o state_n can_v have_v power_n to_o reform_v the_o church_n any_o otherwise_o then_o by_o restore_v that_o faith_n and_o those_o law_n which_o the_o church_n may_v appear_v to_o have_v have_v from_o the_o beginning_n it_o will_v be_v sacrilege_n and_o usurpation_n upon_o the_o faith_n which_o god_n have_v build_v his_o church_n upon_o and_o upon_o the_o law_n which_o either_o the_o apostle_n have_v deliver_v to_o the_o church_n or_o enable_v the_o church_n to_o deliver_v to_o posterity_n to_o introduce_v any_o thing_n else_o for_o the_o reformation_n of_o the_o church_n which_o see_v it_o must_v needs_o bind_v over_o the_o church_n and_o kingdom_n to_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n as_o either_o destructive_a or_o at_o least_o prejudicial_a to_o the_o salvation_n of_o the_o people_n must_v needs_o bind_v over_o he_o that_o have_v this_o opinion_n to_o the_o same_o if_o upon_o so_o just_a a_o occasion_n he_o shall_v forbear_v to_o publish_v and_o to_o plead_v it_o as_o he_o may_v without_o offence_n and_o therefore_o i_o take_v leave_n to_o blame_v all_o those_o who_o declare_v in_o behalf_n of_o this_o church_n that_o it_o depart_v and_o separate_v itself_o from_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n for_o see_v it_o have_v be_v grant_v in_o and_o by_o this_o church_n ever_o since_o the_o reformation_n that_o there_o be_v and_o always_o be_v salvation_n to_o be_v have_v in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n as_o a_o true_a church_n though_o corrupt_v i_o be_o very_o confident_a that_o no_o church_n can_v separate_v from_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n but_o they_o must_v make_v themselves_o thereby_o schismatic_n before_o god_n though_o before_o the_o church_n they_o can_v be_v condemn_v for_o such_o because_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n the_o authority_n whereof_o must_v needs_o be_v ingredient_n into_o the_o sentence_n can_v oblige_v any_o body_n to_o stand_v to_o the_o authority_n which_o it_o so_o abuse_v for_o if_o god_n have_v tie_v all_o church_n to_o communion_n with_o all_o church_n how_o shall_v it_o not_o be_v schism_n to_o profess_v separation_n from_o a_o true_a church_n and_o it_o be_v every_o whit_n as_o easy_a to_o say_v that_o we_o intend_v only_o to_o reform_v ourselves_o and_o that_o the_o separation_n have_v come_v to_o pass_v by_o the_o rigour_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n excommunicate_v those_o that_o reform_v themselves_o without_o her_o leave_n chap._n v._o how_o far_o this_o rule_n be_v own_v by_o this_o church_n here_o it_o will_v perhaps_o be_v demand_v whether_o or_o no_o the_o law_n of_o this_o land_n make_v this_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o reformation_n which_o we_o profess_v and_o my_o answer_n be_v that_o in_o effect_n and_o by_o consequence_n it_o do_v for_o by_o maintain_v the_o three_o creed_n to_o be_v part_n of_o the_o service_n wherewith_o we_o glorify_v god_n by_o profess_v the_o catholic_n faith_n and_o by_o maintain_v the_o four_o council_n whereby_o both_o the_o faith_n and_o the_o then_o canon_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n be_v establish_v it_o do_v in_o effect_n maintain_v the_o primitive_a church_n not_o only_o till_o that_o time_n but_o beyond_o it_o for_o see_v it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o five_o and_o six_o council_n be_v but_o appendance_n of_o the_o four_o tend_v only_o to_o maintain_v and_o enforce_v the_o decree_n of_o it_o how_o can_v it_o be_v doubt_v that_o the_o article_n of_o this_o church_n receive_v all_o council_n that_o have_v decree_v according_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n receive_v and_o inact_v those_o which_o tend_v only_o to_o enforce_v the_o four_o which_o it_o ow_v for_o decree_a that_o faith_n which_o the_o word_n of_o god_n teach_v beside_o the_o prayer_n for_o the_o prosperity_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n whereby_o we_o prove_v ourselves_o no_o schismatic_n to_o the_o see_v of_o rome_n when_o we_o repay_v the_o curse_n of_o it_o with_o our_o prayer_n beside_o that_o injunction_n of_o edward_n the_o vi_o which_o oblige_v all_o preacher_n to_o expound_v the_o scripture_n according_a to_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o ancient_a father_n which_o as_o no_o man_n can_v say_v why_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v in_o force_n so_o have_v it_o be_v in_o force_n we_o need_v not_o have_v come_v to_o the_o question_n now_o on_o foot_n and_o indeed_o it_o be_v in_o effect_n that_o which_o i_o demand_v for_o it_o will_v be_v find_v that_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o father_n be_v not_o to_o be_v have_v but_o in_o the_o common_a faith_n and_o in_o those_o law_n which_o the_o whole_a church_n either_o enjoin_v or_o allow_v particular_a church_n so_o that_o to_o expound_v the_o scripture_n according_a to_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o father_n be_v to_o expound_v they_o within_o those_o bound_n and_o to_o trouble_v the_o head_n of_o christian_a people_n with_o nothing_o that_o be_v without_o the_o same_o as_o if_o their_o salvation_n can_v be_v concern_v all_o be_v safe_a within_o those_o bound_n here_o i_o must_v take_v notice_n that_o the_o reason_n why_o the_o church_n catholic_n be_v to_o be_v hold_v may_v be_v miskenned_a if_o it_o be_v extend_v to_o all_o that_o be_v call_v christian_n and_o not_o limit_v to_o that_o which_o maintain_v the_o faith_n violate_v not_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n if_o the_o profession_n of_o christ_n and_o christianity_n be_v enough_o to_o make_v man_n member_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n why_o shall_v not_o socinian_n and_o anabaptist_n belong_v to_o the_o church_n disperse_v over_o the_o face_n of_o the_o whole_a earth_n again_o the_o eastern_a christian_n that_o
can_v have_v power_n to_o introduce_v any_o thing_n for_o reformation_n in_o the_o church_n but_o that_o which_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n either_o injoyn_v or_o allow_v not_o as_o if_o the_o least_o tittle_n of_o scripture_n be_v not_o enough_o to_o warrant_v that_o which_o it_o injoyn_v to_o be_v the_o reformation_n of_o the_o church_n but_o whereas_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o
