for_o the_o five_o part_n of_o the_o christian_a doctrine_n but_o as_o it_o be_v a_o instruction_n it_o make_v a_o part_n by_o itself_o because_o to_o instruct_v be_v a_o quality_n which_o be_v not_o

which_o be_v a_o distinct_a thing_n from_o god_n his_o actual_a assistant_n grace_n and_o therefore_o in_o all_o there_o be_v five_o thing_n necessary_a the_o reason_n of_o it_o be_v because_o

yet_o to_o practice_v this_o virtue_n perfect_o we_o be_v some_o time_n oblige_v to_o declare_v our_o belief_n by_o a_o outward_a act_n when_o occasion_n require_v it_o for_o man_n be_v compose_v of_o

before_o man_n will_v be_v deny_v by_o he_o before_o his_o father_n 4._o why_o be_v faith_n call_v a_o gift_n of_o god_n because_o

the_o supreme_a and_o certain_a guide_n to_o which_o christ_n direct_v we_o for_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o true_a faith_n and_o true_a religion_n second_o because_o abstract_v from_o

it_o follow_v that_o she_o can_v propose_v a_o falsehood_n see_v that_o the_o christian_n disperse_v in_o so_o many_o country_n as_o be_v necessary_a to_o make_v universality_n can_v meet_v together_o

make_v adam_n and_o eve_n to_o be_v god_n almighty_a who_o make_v all_o thing_n and_o after_o all_o the_o rest_n make_v adam_n of_o earth_n and_o eve_n of_o a_o rib_n of_o adam_n his_o side_n 4._o how_o do_v you_o know_v that_o adam_n do_v not_o make_v himself_o because_o that_o which_o be_v make_v must_v be_v make_v by_o something_o for_o as_o i_o say_v before_o nothing_o can_v do_v nothing_o but_o adam_n before_o he_o be_v make_v be_v nothing_o and_o therefore_o he_o can_v not_o make_v himself_o and_o the_o same_o reason_n do_v show_v that_o the_o first_o of_o every_o thinde_n of_o all_o creature_n in_o the_o world_n and_o the_o world_n itself_o do_v not_o make_v themselves_o but_o be_v all_o make_v by_o a_o thing_n which_o be_v something_o before_o that_o be_v by_o god_n almighty_a 5._o who_o make_v god_n almighty_a to_o be_v god_n be_v from_o all_o eternity_n and_o have_v no_o beginning_n and_o therefore_o can_v be_v make_v for_o nothing_o can_v be_v make_v to_o be_v unless_o it_o once_o be_v not_o in_o be_v itself_o that_o so_o it_o may_v be_v make_v as_o be_v man_n and_o all_o thing_n else_o but_o god_n before_o he_o create_v they_o 6._o how_o do_v you_o know_v that_o god_n be_v ever_o because_o our_o faith_n do_v assure_v we_o thereof_o and_o so_o likewise_o do_v reason_n for_o if_o once_o god_n have_v not_o beme_fw-mi there_o have_v then_o be_v nothing_o at_o all_o which_o suppose_v it_o evident_o will_v follow_v that_o there_o can_v never_o have_v beme_fw-mi any_o thing_n see_v that_o something_o can_v be_v make_v by_o nothing_o wherefore_o since_o that_o there_o be_v so_o many_o thing_n it_o follow_v that_o that_o thing_n which_o make_v the_o first_o of_o every_o kind_n be_v itself_o from_o all_o eternity_n 7._o wherefore_o do_v it_o follow_v that_o he_o who_o make_v the_o first_o of_o every_o kind_n must_v needs_o be_v god_n because_o see_v that_o nothing_o have_v power_n to_o make_v itself_o it_o follow_v that_o every_o creature_n must_v needs_o have_v a_o maker_n of_o a_o other_o more_o powerful_a kind_n than_o itself_o until_o it_o come_v at_o last_o to_o some_o thing_n which_o be_v more_o powerful_a than_o all_o kind_n of_o thing_n that_o be_v make_v and_o that_o be_v god_n beside_o nature_n itself_o do_v teach_v we_o that_o the_o maker_n of_o all_o thing_n be_v god_n for_o in_o all_o our_o danger_n and_o misfortune_n we_o do_v natural_o call_v upon_o he_o who_o make_v we_o and_o so_o all_o sort_n of_o people_n be_v agree_v that_o he_o be_v god_n moreover_o the_o beauty_n of_o this_o create_a world_n do_v teach_v we_o as_o much_o for_o as_o when_o we_o see_v a_o fair_a house_n well_o build_v we_o judge_v that_o it_o be_v make_v by_o some_o excellent_a architect_n so_o when_o we_o see_v the_o beauty_n of_o this_o world_n the_o order_n of_o creature_n the_o variety_n of_o time_n and_o season_n we_o gather_v from_o thence_o the_o greatness_n and_o wisdom_n of_o he_o who_o make_v it_o and_o that_o he_o can_v be_v no_o other_o but_o god_n 8._o how_o do_v you_o know_v that_o god_n be_v almighty_a because_o see_v that_o whatsoever_o can_v be_v make_v and_o be_v not_o can_v make_v itself_o but_o must_v be_v make_v by_o god_n it_o follow_v that_o god_n can_v make_v all_o thing_n that_o can_v be_v make_v which_o be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o say_v that_o he_o can_v absolute_o make_v all_o thing_n for_o that_o which_o can_v be_v make_v be_v nothing_o again_o see_v that_o nothing_o can_v be_v do_v but_o what_o be_v do_v by_o something_o and_o whatsoever_o be_v something_o be_v make_v by_o god_n to_o be_v something_o it_o follow_v that_o god_n do_v give_v power_n to_o do_v all_o thing_n that_o be_v do_v or_o can_v be_v do_v and_o consequent_o that_o he_o himself_o can_v do_v whatsoever_o can_v be_v do_v for_o clear_a it_o be_v that_o who_o give_v power_n to_o do_v any_o thing_n have_v in_o himself_o power_n to_o do_v the_o same_o since_o that_o nothing_o can_v give_v what_o it_o have_v not_o itself_o and_o so_o you_o see_v that_o god_n be_v almighty_a for_o that_o thing_n be_v almighty_a which_o can_v make_v all_o thing_n and_o do_v all_o thing_n and_o for_o this_o reason_n also_o we_o must_v grant_v that_o god_n have_v in_o himself_o the_o perfection_n of_o all_o thing_n 9_o as_o god_n be_v the_o maker_n of_o all_o thing_n be_v it_o not_o he_o also_o who_o conserve_v all_o thing_n in_o be_v when_o they_o be_v make_v yes_o for_o as_o nothing_o can_v make_v itself_o no_o more_o can_v any_o thing_n conserve_v itself_o because_o conservation_n of_o a_o thing_n be_v a_o continual_a give_v of_o that_o be_v to_o a_o thing_n which_o it_o receive_v at_o its_o first_o make_v and_o so_o no_o less_o power_n be_v require_v to_o keep_v a_o thing_n in_o be_v then_o be_v necessary_a to_o give_v its_o first_o be_v to_o it_o and_o because_o it_o belong_v to_o he_o who_o make_v a_o thing_n
we_o shall_v find_v that_o they_o be_v institute_v immediate_o by_o christ_n to_o rule_v and_o consequent_o command_v to_o be_v continue_v and_o to_o be_v obey_v in_o his_o church_n for_o he_o who_o

care_n of_o the_o common_a and_o to_o govern_v the_o church_n for_o government_n be_v a_o thing_n in_o itself_o absolute_o necessary_a unto_o all_o community_n in_o so_o much_o that_o though_o we_o may_v see_v some_o community_n govern_v by_o superior_n without_o law_n and_o prosper_v for_o a_o while_n yet_o we_o shall_v never_o find_v that_o there_o be_v any_o see_v govern_v by_o law_n without_o superior_n and_o if_o there_o be_v any_o such_o the_o law_n will_v be_v but_o occasion_n of_o quarrel_n and_o dissension_n wherefore_o as_o every_o man_n by_o his_o understanding_n direct_v

particular_a church_n be_v to_o take_v their_o rule_n and_o judgement_n in_o all_o spiritual_a affair_n 12._o how_o do_v we_o know_v that_o christ_n institute_v the_o government_n of_o the_o church_n himself_o and_o do_v not_o leave_v it_o to_o the_o church_n to_o do_v it_o because_o we_o know_v that_o he_o come_v into_o the_o world_n to_o erect_v and_o establish_v a_o church_n which_o in_o itself_o shall_v have_v ordinary_a power_n to_o conserve_v and_o propagate_v itself_o as_o we_o see_v all_o state_n and_o community_n do_v now_o he_o who_o have_v understanding_n know_v that_o this_o can_v be_v do_v but_o by_o order_v of_o governor_n so_o that_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o very_a church_n itself_o which_o be_v a_o thing_n that_o no_o man_n can_v deny_v to_o come_v from_o christ_n do_v necessary_o imply_v the_o institution_n of_o the_o government_n of_o it_o 13._o but_o how_o do_v we_o know_v that_o those_o governor_n institute_v by_o christ_n be_v bishop_n and_o not_o priest_n or_o lay_v elder_n we_o know_v this_o first_o because_o we_o be_v tell_v expresselie_o in_o scripture_n that_o bishop_n be_v appoint_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o govern_v the_o church_n of_o god_n secondlie_o we_o know_v it_o by_o the_o same_o rule_n whereby_o we_o know_v all_o thing_n that_o we_o believe_v in_o the_o church_n for_o since_o you_o see_v that_o bishop_n that_o be_v man_n consecrate_v by_o a_o special_a ordination_n be_v governor_n in_o the_o church_n over_o all_o the_o christian_a world_n if_o one_o shall_v ask_v you_o who_o make_v they_o such_o i_o be_o sure_a you_o will_v say_v they_o be_v make_v such_o by_o other_o who_o be_v dead_a that_o be_v themselves_o such_o and_o those_o again_o by_o other_o and_o so_o upward_o to_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o
