place_n in_o your_o sense_n and_o apply_v it_o to_o the_o purpose_n for_o my_o part_n i_o find_v a_o temple_n even_o under_o the_o apostasy_n measure_v out_o and_o a_o altar_n and_o some_o worship_v

11._o 19_o and_o 15._o 6._o and_o if_o zion_n and_o the_o temple_n in_o your_o opinion_n be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n and_o both_o note_n the_o state_n of_o a_o true_a visible_a church_n as_o you_o seem_v to_o think_v it_o be_v plain_a that_o before_o and_o under_o the_o vial_n there_o be_v acknowledge_v in_o the_o apocalypse_n visible_a church_n and_o the_o same_o true_a and_o right_a unto_o which_o christian_n have_v access_n and_o in_o which_o they_o be_v conversant_a you_o must_v pardon_v i_o then_o if_o herein_o i_o do_v not_o concur_v with_o you_o that_o none_o can_v enter_v into_o the_o temple_n or_o arrive_v at_o zion_n i_o e._n that_o no_o visible_a church_n can_v be_v find_v into_o which_o man_n may_v have_v entrance_n and_o admission_n until_o all_o the_o vial_n be_v

in_o until_o the_o vial_n be_v full_o pour_v out_o to_o rome_n utter_a destruction_n it_o do_v not_o exclude_v those_o who_o be_v already_o admit_v and_o enter_v into_o the_o temple_n as_o be_v the_o reform_a church_n of_o the_o western_a world_n the_o second_o thing_n which_o you_o add_v be_v that_o we_o have_v not_o yet_o whole_o put_v off_o our_o babylonish_a garment_n touch_v which_o i_o shall_v not_o say_v much_o because_o you_o express_v not_o what_o you_o mean_v by_o these_o babylonish_a garment_n nor_o wherein_o they_o be_v not_o put_v off_o only_o two_o thing_n i_o do_v reply_n 1._o that_o the_o retain_n of_o some_o rag_n of_o the_o babylonish_a garment_n though_o it_o be_v a_o deformity_n to_o a_o church_n can_v no_o more_o keep_v a_o christian_a company_n or_o person_n out_o of_o zion_n then_o sacrifice_v unto_o god_n in_o high_a place_n somewhat_o after_o a_o heathenish_a manner_n can_v or_o do_v put_v the_o church_n of_o the_o jew_n out_o of_o zion_n or_o

seven_o plague_n as_o they_o come_v out_o of_o the_o temple_n so_o also_o they_o be_v clothe_v with_o white_a and_o pure_a linen_n and_o be_v gird_v about_o the_o breast_n with_o golden_a girdle_n revel._n 15_o 6._o now_o what_o be_v those_o angel_n but_o type_n of_o those_o instrument_n which_o the_o lord_n will_v use_v in_o execute_v those_o seven_o last_o plague_n and_o what_o be_v the_o

member_n be_v such_o be_v the_o habit_n of_o the_o church_n to_o which_o they_o do_v belong_v for_o how_o can_v they_o come_v so_o pure_o clothe_v out_o of_o church_n utter_o impure_a these_o church_n therefore_o which_o be_v our_o reform_a church_n of_o these_o day_n have_v cast_v off_o their_o babylonish_a garment_n and_o be_v clad_v with_o fine_a linen_n which_o be_v the_o righteousness_n of_o

that_o therefore_o all_o visible_a church-marriage_n since_o the_o apostasic_a take_v up_o before_o the_o time_n be_v only_o found_v on_o the_o will_n name_n and_o power_n of_o man_n without_o god_n call_v must_v needs_o be_v bestial_a answ._n concerning_o this_o i_o say_v first_o that_o it_o be_v much_o the_o jew_n excuse_n hag._n 1._o 2._o say_v that_o the_o time_n be_v not_o yet_o come_v that_o the_o house_n of_o the_o lord_n shall_v be_v build_v whenas_o the_o time_n for_o build_v it_o be_v seasonable_a enough_o and_o nothing_o let_v but_o their_o great_a care_n to_o build_v their_o own_o house_n then_o the_o lord_n house_n so_o say_v you_o the_o time_n be_v not_o yet_o come_v that_o visible_a church_n shall_v be_v gather_v and_o marry_v unto_o christ_n in_o visible_a manner_n whe●as_v the_o time_n be_v seasonable_a enough_o but_o that_o many_o have_v more_o mind_n to_o disturb_v the_o work_n by_o vent_v fancy_n of_o their_o own_o then_o to_o contribute_v their_o
