to_o mend_v christian_a religion_n but_o to_o return_v to_o primitive_a christianity_n to_o cast_v such_o doctrine_n out_o of_o our_o creed_n as_o christ_n never_o teach_v and_o to_o reject_v all_o new_a and_o suspect_a worship_n and_o if_o it_o be_v always_o a_o duty_n to_o profess_v what_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n have_v teach_v and_o to_o practice_v as_o they_o have_v command_v then_o if_o ever_o we_o believe_v or_o practise_v otherwise_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o reform_v which_o be_v not_o in_o a_o proper_a sense_n to_o reform_v the_o church_n or_o the_o christian_a faith_n and_o worship_n but_o to_o reform_v ourselves_o for_o the_o christian_a faith_n and_o worship_n be_v always_o the_o same_o and_o if_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n to_o be_v reform_v it_o must_v be_v our_o own_o error_n and_o mistake_v what_o then_o be_v the_o fault_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n why_o can_v she_o be_v a_o mystical_a member_n of_o christ_n in_o catholic_n unity_n or_o a_o charitable_a part_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n the_o charge_n be_v draw_v up_o against_o she_o under_o three_o head_n 1._o that_o she_o voluntary_o separate_v from_o all_o other_o christian_a society_n 2._o condemn_v their_o doctrine_n and_o right_n 3._o have_v no_o visible_a correspondence_n with_o they_o in_o the_o eucharist_n nor_o in_o any_o religious_a assembly_n nor_o solemn_a devotion_n let_v we_o consider_v these_o distinct_o 1._o the_o church_n of_o england_n voluntary_o separate_v from_o all_o other_o christian_a society_n this_o i_o tell_v he_o be_v false_a as_o to_o matter_n of_o fact_n for_o there_o be_v a_o great_a many_o christian_a society_n which_o we_o can_v and_o do_v hold_v communion_n with_o as_o opportunity_n serve_v and_o he_o can_v never_o make_v good_a this_o charge_n but_o by_o deny_v that_o there_o be_v any_o other_o christian_a society_n beside_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n which_o i_o suppose_v be_v what_o he_o intend_v well!_o we_o do_v separate_v he_o say_v and_o that_o voluntary_o from_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n that_o be_v from_o all_o christian_a society_n now_o i_o grant_v we_o do_v separate_v from_o the_o bishop_n and_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n consider_v as_o the_o principle_n and_o centre_n of_o catholic_n unity_n as_o i_o observe_v before_o but_o consider_v as_o a_o christian_a church_n so_o i_o deny_v that_o we_o separate_v from_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n or_o any_o other_o christian_a church_n as_o far_o as_o they_o be_v christian_n and_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o communicate_v with_o they_o no_o far_o for_o i_o pray_v consider_v what_o christian_a communion_n be_v which_o certain_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o to_o communicate_v in_o the_o true_a christian_a faith_n and_o worship_n for_o to_o communicate_v in_o judaisme_n paganism_n mahumatism_n or_o any_o unchristian_a doctrine_n or_o practice_n certain_o be_v not_o christian_a communion_n and_o therefore_o every_o church_n be_v more_o or_o less_o perfect_a in_o christian_a communion_n according_a to_o the_o purity_n and_o perfection_n of_o her_o faith_n and_o worship_n if_o then_o the_o church_n of_o england_n profess_v the_o true_a christian_a faith_n and_o worship_v god_n according_a to_o the_o gospel_n of_o his_o son_n without_o any_o corrupt_a mixture_n and_o innovation_n as_o far_o as_o true_a faith_n and_o worship_n reach_v she_o be_v in_o communion_n with_o all_o the_o christian_a church_n in_o the_o world_n for_o she_o agree_v with_o they_o in_o all_o that_o they_o believe_v or_o practice_v which_o be_v true_o christian_a and_o christian_a communion_n extend_v no_o far_o well_o but_o when_o the_o whole_a church_n be_v agree_v in_o faith_n and_o worship_n we_o break_v this_o bond_n of_o unity_n by_o a_o pretend_a reformation_n suppose_v this_o the_o question_n still_o be_v whether_o this_o unity_n of_o the_o church_n be_v a_o christian_a communion_n for_o if_o it_o be_v not_o it_o be_v no_o separation_n from_o the_o christian_a church_n to_o leave_v its_o communion_n in_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v not_o christian_a and_o therefore_o the_o whole_a controversy_n will_v still_o turn_v upon_o this_o point_n whether_o the_o reformation_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v a_o true_a gospel_n reformation_n for_o if_o we_o reform_v nothing_o but_o what_o ought_v to_o be_v reform_v than_o we_o separate_v no_o far_a than_o we_o ought_v to_o separate_v and_o such_o a_o separation_n if_o you_o will_v call_v it_o a_o separation_n i_o hope_v be_v no_o crime_n do_v elias_n separate_v from_o the_o jewish_a church_n because_o he_o break_v their_o unity_n in_o the_o worship_n of_o baal_n and_o reduce_v they_o to_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o moisaick_a law_n which_o be_v the_o standard_n of_o their_o religion_n and_o communion_n just_o so_o the_o church_n of_o england_n separate_v from_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n by_o reject_v those_o article_n of_o faith_n and_o form_n of_o worship_n which_o be_v not_o christian._n some_o kind_n of_o separation_n indeed_o there_o must_v be_v between_o a_o pure_a and_o a_o corrupt_a church_n but_o if_o you_o will_v know_v on_o which_o side_n the_o separation_n be_v criminal_a you_o must_v consider_v on_o which_o side_n the_o corruption_n be_v for_o necessary_a truth_n can_v never_o make_v a_o criminal_a separation_n the_o church_n which_o forsake_v the_o truth_n be_v always_o guilty_a of_o the_o separation_n not_o the_o church_n which_o forsake_v error_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o ridiculous_a thing_n to_o charge_v those_o with_o the_o schism_n who_o only_o forsake_v the_o company_n when_o those_o be_v the_o schismatic_n who_o forsake_v the_o truth_n and_o yet_o this_o be_v the_o only_a pretence_n for_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n to_o charge_v we_o with_o schism_n that_o they_o do_v not_o leave_v we_o but_o we_o leave_v they_o they_o keep_v where_o they_o be_v and_o we_o go_v out_o from_o among_o they_o and_o forsake_v their_o communion_n but_o it_o be_v because_o they_o have_v first_o forsake_v the_o apostolic_a communion_n by_o corrupt_v the_o apostolic_a faith_n and_o worship_n they_o be_v the_o deserter_n and_o separatist_n we_o only_o return_v to_o the_o true_a christian_a communion_n and_o be_v very_o sorry_a to_o leave_v they_o behind_o we_o the_o short_a of_o it_o be_v this_o if_o we_o can_v justify_v our_o reformation_n we_o be_v schismatic_n if_o we_o can_v we_o be_v none_o and_o i_o will_v desire_v all_o protestant_n to_o take_v notice_n of_o this_o short_a answer_n and_o stick_v to_o it_o for_o it_o be_v as_o certain_a as_o any_o demonstration_n in_o euolid_a that_o no_o man_n can_v be_v a_o schismatic_a who_o forsake_v no_o society_n of_o christian_n any_o far_a than_o they_o forsake_v the_o truth_n 2._o the_o next_o charge_n be_v that_o we_o condemn_v their_o doctrine_n and_o their_o right_n but_o do_v we_o condemn_v any_o thing_n which_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v condemn_v if_o we_o do_v it_o be_v indeed_o a_o fault_n but_o if_o we_o do_v why_o be_v we_o blame_v for_o it_o 3._o we_o have_v no_o visible_a correspondence_n with_o they_o in_o the_o eucharist_n nor_o in_o any_o religious_a assembly_n nor_o solemn_a devotion_n how_o so_o we_o visible_o receive_v the_o eucharist_n ourselves_o and_o perform_v our_o solemn_a devotion_n in_o public_a assembly_n and_o this_o be_v to_o communicate_v with_o the_o whole_a christian_a church_n in_o the_o same_o sacrament_n and_o worship_n and_o the_o only_a way_n that_o distant_a church_n have_v to_o communicate_v with_o each_o other_o in_o sacrament_n and_o worship_n unless_o he_o think_v the_o church_n of_o england_n must_v travel_v into_o france_n and_o spain_n and_o italy_n into_o greece_n and_o egypt_n and_o all_o other_o remote_a church_n to_o communicate_v with_o they_o no_o but_o when_o their_o worship_n be_v bring_v home_o to_o we_o we_o refuse_v to_o join_v with_o they_o right_a for_o according_a to_o the_o law_n of_o catholic_n communion_n when_o they_o be_v in_o england_n they_o ought_v to_o communicate_v with_o we_o not_o we_o with_o they_o according_a to_o st._n augustine_n rule_n to_o observe_v the_o right_n and_o usage_n of_o the_o church_n whither_o soever_o we_o come_v as_o far_o as_o they_o be_v innocent_a if_o we_o deny_v to_o receive_v they_o to_o our_o communion_n they_o may_v with_o better_a reason_n charge_v we_o with_o schism_n but_o we_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o forsake_v the_o communion_n of_o our_o own_o church_n to_o follow_v foreign_a custom_n at_o home_n but_o when_o we_o do_v come_v where_o their_o worship_n be_v the_o establish_v religion_n we_o still_o refuse_v to_o communicate_v with_o they_o we_o do_v so_o indeed_o with_o the_o roman_a church_n but_o not_o with_o all_o other_o christian_a society_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o we_o believe_v their_o worship_n be_v sinful_a and_o no_o christian_a be_v bind_v to_o communicate_v in_o a_o sinful_a worship_n as_o they_o themselves_o
confirm_v and_o we_o no_o more_o want_n new_a miracle_n to_o confirm_v our_o reformation_n than_o to_o confirm_v the_o authority_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n for_o reform_a christianity_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o old_a primitive_a apostolic_a christianity_n and_o therefore_o we_o have_v the_o same_o authority_n to_o reform_v now_o which_o the_o apostle_n at_o first_o have_v to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n for_o their_o authority_n to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n be_v and_o will_v be_v to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n a_o sufficient_a authority_n to_o all_o man_n to_o believe_v it_o and_o consequent_o to_o renounce_v all_o error_n and_o corruption_n in_o faith_n and_o worship_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o it_o 2._o as_o for_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o clergy_n whatever_o it_o be_v it_o be_v certain_a christ_n give_v they_o no_o authority_n to_o preach_v any_o other_o gospel_n than_o what_o he_o have_v teach_v they_o which_o be_v the_o express_a commission_n which_o he_o give_v to_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o and_o therefore_o whatever_o decree_n and_o definition_n they_o have_v make_v contrary_a to_o the_o true_a faith_n and_o worship_n of_o christ_n be_v void_a of_o themselves_o and_o want_v no_o authority_n to_o repeal_v they_o as_o for_o that_o distinction_n between_o make_v and_o declare_v new_a article_n of_o faith_n it_o be_v a_o mere_a piece_n of_o sophistry_n for_o if_o they_o have_v the_o power_n of_o declare_v and_o no_o body_n must_v oppose_v they_o nor_o judge_v of_o their_o declaration_n under_o the_o pretence_n of_o declare_v they_o may_v make_v as_o many_o new_a article_n of_o faith_n as_o they_o please_v as_o we_o see_v the_o council_n of_o trent_n have_v do_v this_o extravagant_a authority_n they_o give_v to_o the_o clergy_n of_o make_v decree_n and_o canon_n concern_v faith_n and_o worship_n which_o shall_v oblige_v the_o laity_n to_o a_o blind_a obedience_n and_o implicit_a faith_n be_v a_o most_o ridiculous_a pretence_n unless_o it_o be_v support_v with_o infallibility_n and_o controversy_n yet_o you_o have_v already_o hear_v that_o the_o pretence_n of_o infallibility_n itself_o though_o it_o may_v silence_v those_o man_n objection_n and_o stop_v their_o far_a inquiry_n who_o do_v real_o believe_v it_o yet_o it_o be_v no_o defence_n against_o the_o charge_n of_o error_n nor_o a_o sufficient_a answer_n to_o that_o charge_n and_o how_o vain_a the_o pretence_n itself_o be_v have_v be_v abundant_o prove_v in_o some_o late_a treatise_n this_o be_v enough_o to_o show_v how_o insignificant_a that_o charge_n be_v against_o the_o reformation_n that_o those_o bishop_n and_o priest_n who_o be_v at_o that_o time_n in_o power_n and_o be_v zealous_o addict_v to_o the_o interest_n of_o rome_n will_v not_o concur_v in_o it_o though_o afterward_o much_o the_o great_a number_n submit_v to_o it_o and_o thereby_o give_v it_o a_o after_o confirmation_n which_o be_v as_o much_o as_o they_o can_v pretend_v for_o the_o confirmation_n of_o some_o of_o their_o general_a council_n i_o grant_v nothing_o can_v be_v look_v on_o as_o the_o act_n of_o the_o clergy_n which_o be_v not_o do_v by_o a_o regular_a authority_n according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o that_o church_n nor_o do_v we_o pretend_v that_o the_o reformation_n be_v perfect_v or_o finish_v by_o the_o regular_a authority_n of_o the_o popish_a clergy_n though_o several_a of_o they_o be_v zealous_a in_o it_o but_o we_o say_v it_o be_v never_o the_o worse_o for_o that_o if_o they_o can_v prove_v that_o what_o we_o call_v a_o reformation_n be_v faulty_a upon_o other_o account_n than_o we_o will_v grant_v that_o to_o reform_v against_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o clergy_n do_v great_o aggravate_v the_o crime_n but_o if_o the_o reformation_n be_v just_a and_o necessary_a and_o a_o true_a reformation_n of_o the_o error_n and_o corruption_n of_o christianity_n the_o dissent_n of_o the_o clergy_n can_v not_o and_o ought_v not_o to_o hinder_v it_o for_o they_o have_v no_o such_o authority_n from_o christ_n either_o to_o corrupt_v religion_n or_o to_o hinder_v the_o reformation_n of_o it_o 3._o the_o supreme_a authority_n of_o any_o nation_n have_v a_o regular_a authority_n to_o declare_v what_o shall_v be_v the_o establish_v religion_n of_o that_o nation_n and_o therefore_o the_o queen_n and_o the_o parliament_n can_v make_v the_o reform_a religion_n the_o national_a religion_n establish_v by_o law_n and_o this_o be_v all_o that_o we_o attribute_v to_o king_n and_o parliament_n we_o do_v not_o justify_v our_o reformation_n because_o it_o be_v confirm_v by_o the_o authority_n of_o parliament_n but_o because_o it_o be_v agreeable_a to_o scripture_n but_o we_o thank_v god_n that_o he_o then_o

to_o make_v expiation_n and_o to_o intercede_v for_o we_o the_o sum_n of_o what_o we_o teach_v about_o this_o matter_n be_v this_o that_o we_o must_v worship_v none_o but_o god_n and_o therefore_o

of_o saint_n and_o angel_n thus_o far_o we_o have_v plain_a scripture_n proof_n and_o then_o we_o think_v common_a sense_n teach_v we_o the_o rest_n that_o it_o be_v a_o injury_n to_o a_o only_a

there_o shall_v be_v any_o such_o divine_a office_n in_o public_a worship_n which_o the_o people_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o join_v in_o methinks_v the_o apostle_n argument_n against_o speak_v in_o a_o

this_o answer_n he_o give_v about_o such_o office_n as_o people_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o join_v in_o be_v a_o better_a answer_n to_o st._n paul_n than_o it_o be_v to_o protestant_n a_o much_o better_a

church_n of_o rome_n for_o their_o whole_a service_n be_v in_o latin_a a_o unknown_a tongue_n and_o therefore_o according_a to_o his_o reason_n the_o people_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o attend_v to_o or_o join_v in_o any_o part_n of_o their_o worship_n because_o they_o understand_v none_o of_o it_o and_o be_v not_o that_o a_o pretty_a kind_n of_o public_a worship_n which_o no_o body_n be_v bind_v to_o attend_v to_o or_o join_v in_o not_o the_o priest_n himself_o when_o he_o do_v not_o understand_v latin_a which_o as_o they_o say_v too_o often_o happen_v in_o catholic_n country_n 3_o since_o our_o author_n say_v that_o there_o be_v only_o many_o not_o all_o divine_a office_n which_o the_o people_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o join_v in_o he_o will_v have_v do_v well_o to_o have_v give_v we_o some_o mark_n of_o distinction_n that_o we_o may_v have_v know_v what_o office_n people_n must_v join_v in_o and_o what_o not_o for_o i_o can_v for_o my_o life_n think_v of_o any_o act_n of_o public_a christian_a worship_n which_o all_o christian_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o join_v in_o i_o shall_v think_v it_o very_o convenient_a that_o all_o christian_n shall_v attend_v to_o and_o join_v in_o the_o holy_a sacrament_n when_o they_o be_v administer_v for_o if_o they_o must_v not_o bear_v their_o part_n there_o which_o must_v be_v their_o own_o act_n or_o it_o signify_v nothing_o it_o be_v a_o make_n and_o renew_v a_o solemn_a vow_n and_o covenant_n with_o god_n to_o be_v sure_a they_o can_v be_v concern_v in_o nothing_o else_o and_o therefore_o the_o office_n of_o baptism_n and_o the_o

he_o sure_o they_o be_v bind_v to_o join_v in_o public_a prayer_n and_o praise_n and_o then_o according_a to_o this_o rule_n the_o public_a prayer_n and_o hymn_n of_o the_o church_n ought_v to_o be_v in_o the_o vulgar_a tongue_n and_o i_o can_v imagine_v a_o reason_n why_o the_o people_n ought_v not_o to_o attend_v to_o read_v the_o lesson_n the_o epistle_n and_o gospel_n for_o i_o know_v no_o other_o use_n of_o read_v they_o but_o that_o the_o people_n may_v hear_v and_o understand_v they_o and_o be_v edify_v by_o they_o and_o then_o they_o also_o shall_v be_v in_o the_o vulgar_a tongue_n in_o short_a there_o be_v nothing_o be_v a_o office_n of_o religion_n but_o what_o the_o people_n be_v concern_v in_o and_o therefore_o must_v attend_v to_o it_o and_o join_v in_o it_o unless_o it_o be_v not_o their_o duty_n to_o attend_v to_o and_o join_v in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o our_o author_n by_o insinuate_v this_o principle_n that_o people_n must_v understand_v what_o they_o be_v bind_v to_o attend_v to_o and_o join_v in_o which_o be_v so_o agreeable_a to_o common_a sense_n that_o he_o can_v not_o resist_v it_o have_v effectual_o overthrow_v and_o condemn_v the_o latin_a service_n unless_o he_o can_v prove_v that_o people_n be_v not_o concern_v to_o join_v in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o then_o i_o desire_v to_o know_v why_o they_o must_v be_v

service_n to_o god_n if_o it_o be_v better_a to_o worship_n god_n than_o mere_o to_o see_v he_o worship_v then_o how_o can_v he_o justify_v service_n in_o a_o unknown_a tongue_n for_o when_o the_o
