we_o have_v communion_n one_o with_o another_o first_o 1_o we_o have_v communion_n with_o god_n whereas_o before_o we_o be_v stranger_n by_o nature_n god_n and_o have_v not_o to_o do_v with_o god_n nay_o there_o be_v none_o that_o can_v bring_v we_o into_o favour_n with_o he_o but_o by_o christ_n so_o s._n john_n say_v in_o this_o place_n and_o it_o be_v say_v eph._n 2._o 13._o but_o now_o in_o christ_n jesus_n you_o which_o be_v once_o afar_o off_o be_v make_v near_o by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n so_o also_o heb._n 12._o 23._o say_v the_o apostle_n but_o now_o you_o be_v come_v to_o mount_n zion_n and_o to_o the_o city_n of_o the_o live_a god_n the_o celestial_a jerusalem_n and_o to_o the_o company_n of_o innumerable_a angel_n and_o to_o the_o congregation_n of_o the_o first_o bear_v who_o name_n be_v in_o heaven_n and_o to_o god_n the_o judge_n of_o all_o this_o communion_n be_v the_o comfortable_a communion_n that_o be_v in_o this_o world_n therefore_o above_o all_o thing_n let_v we_o be_v thankful_a to_o god_n for_o it_o because_o other_o communion_n of_o this_o world_n though_o the_o best_a be_v not_o fit_a to_o compare_v with_o this_o for_o to_o have_v communion_n with_o king_n prince_n and_o great_a man_n in_o the_o world_n with_o angel_n archangel_n and_o saint_n and_o not_o to_o have_v communion_n with_o god_n all_o this_o be_v nothing_o because_o in_o his_o presence_n be_v fullness_n of_o joy_n simile_n and_o at_o his_o right_a hand_n pleasure_n for_o evermore_o we_o see_v holy_a ruth_n be_v content_v to_o forsake_v her_o country_n and_o kindred_n and_o to_o live_v a_o poor_a life_n to_o have_v communion_n and_o fellowship_n with_o the_o people_n of_o god_n so_o much_o more_o we_o shall_v be_v content_v to_o leave_v our_o sin_n and_o corruption_n and_o to_o endure_v some_o hardship_n to_o have_v communion_n with_o god_n as_o david_n psal_n 84._o have_v rather_o be_v a_o mean_a man_n in_o the_o communion_n of_o saint_n than_o to_o live_v in_o great_a estate_n without_o it_o the_o queen_n of_o sheba_n pronounce_v they_o happy_a and_o bless_a that_o do_v stand_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o solomon_n but_o how_o bless_v and_o happy_a may_v they_o be_v pronounce_v that_o stand_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n and_o have_v communion_n with_o he_o therefore_o above_o all_o thing_n labour_v to_o have_v communion_n with_o god_n by_o his_o spirit_n and_o do_v not_o deprive_v thyself_o thereof_o by_o thy_o sin_n but_o nourish_v it_o in_o yourselves_o by_o all_o good_a mean_n now_o this_o communion_n that_o we_o have_v with_o god_n stand_v in_o two_o thing_n thing_n first_o he_o communicate_v to_o we_o his_o wisdom_n power_n justice_n mercy_n and_o glory_n so_o that_o there_o be_v not_o a_o drop_n or_o dram_n of_o goodness_n in_o god_n but_o it_o be_v for_o the_o good_a of_o his_o servant_n and_o people_n as_o his_o power_n to_o defend_v they_o his_o wisdom_n to_o direct_v they_o 1_o his_o mercy_n to_o save_v they_o and_o his_o glory_n to_o impart_v to_o they_o so_o psal_n 23._o david_n say_v the_o lord_n be_v my_o shepherd_n i_o shall_v not_o want_v and_o elsewhere_o the_o lord_n be_v my_o light_n and_o my_o salvation_n the_o lord_n be_v the_o strength_n of_o my_o salvation_n who_o shall_v i_o fear_v the_o lord_n be_v the_o strength_n of_o my_o life_n of_o who_o shall_v i_o be_v afraid_a so_o hannah_n say_v 1_o sam._n 2._o he_o have_v raise_v up_o the_o poor_a out_o of_o the_o dust_n and_o lift_v up_o the_o beggar_n out_o of_o the_o dunghill_n to_o set_v they_o among_o prince_n and_o to_o make_v they_o inherit_v the_o seat_n of_o glory_n for_o the_o pillar_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v the_o lord_n and_o he_o have_v set_v the_o world_n on_o they_o so_o than_o the_o people_n of_o god_n have_v communion_n with_o he_o in_o that_o he_o communicate_v all_o good_a thing_n to_o they_o the_o second_o thing_n wherein_o our_o communion_n with_o god_n stand_v be_v 2_o that_o we_o may_v communicate_v all_o our_o grief_n sorrow_n trouble_n want_n and_o necessity_n unto_o he_o and_o lay_v they_o down_o in_o his_o lap_n therefore_o in_o all_o our_o want_n sorrow_n and_o grief_n let_v we_o go_v to_o god_n and_o he_o will_v ease_v and_o relieve_v we_o as_o david_n say_v psal_n 34._o 4._o i_o seek_v the_o lord_n and_o he_o hear_v i_o yea_o he_o deliver_v i_o out_o of_o all_o my_o fear_n so_o we_o be_v exhort_v 1_o pet._n 5._o 7._o cast_v all_o your_o care_n on_o he_o for_o he_o care_v for_o you_o and_o therefore_o do_v thou_o want_v food_n to_o feed_v thy_o body_n or_o clothes_n seek_v to_o god_n he_o will_v relieve_v thou_o do_v thou_o find_v trouble_n simile_n be_v grieve_v go_v to_o god_n he_o will_v ease_v thou_o when_o a_o man_n have_v any_o grief_n or_o trouble_n in_o his_o mind_n it_o be_v a_o ease_n to_o he_o if_o he_o have_v a_o trusty_a friend_n to_o break_v his_o mind_n to_o and_o many_o time_n there_o be_v somewhat_o that_o trouble_v a_o man_n that_o he_o dare_v not_o tell_v his_o friend_n lest_o he_o shall_v upbraid_v he_o with_o it_o or_o cast_v it_o in_o his_o tooth_n and_o again_o a_o man_n may_v make_v his_o mind_n know_v to_o his_o friend_n who_o can_v ease_v he_o nor_o supply_v his_o want_n but_o if_o we_o communicate_v our_o grief_n to_o god_n he_o will_v not_o cast_v we_o in_o the_o tooth_n with_o they_o but_o will_v ease_v we_o and_o supply_v all_o our_o want_n and_o he_o be_v not_o only_o able_a but_o will_v also_o to_o help_v we_o in_o what_o thing_n soever_o we_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o bless_a thing_n to_o have_v communion_n with_o god_n in_o that_o a_o man_n may_v communicate_v all_o his_o grief_n sorrow_n and_o want_n to_o he_o we_o see_v that_o adam_n have_v communion_n with_o god_n but_o when_o he_o have_v sin_v against_o he_o he_o lose_v it_o and_o hide_v himself_o from_o god_n therefore_o when_o we_o have_v communion_n with_o god_n let_v we_o take_v heed_n that_o we_o do_v not_o sin_n against_o he_o and_o lose_v our_o communion_n with_o he_o but_o if_o we_o be_v overtake_v let_v we_o labour_n to_o repent_v and_o so_o recover_v ourselves_o again_o this_o be_v the_o first_o part_n of_o our_o communion_n the_o second_o part_n of_o our_o communion_n be_v with_o christ_n 2_o and_o indeed_o we_o can_v have_v no_o communion_n with_o god_n christ_n but_o it_o must_v be_v by_o mean_n of_o christ_n for_o we_o be_v all_o sinner_n and_o great_a offender_n so_o that_o we_o be_v become_v enemy_n to_o god_n and_o there_o be_v no_o way_n to_o reconcile_v we_o but_o by_o a_o mediator_n that_o be_v by_o jesus_n christ_n philosopher_n say_v that_o thing_n that_o be_v in_o extreme_n can_v be_v bring_v together_o but_o by_o some_o middle_a matter_n so_o god_n and_o sinful_a man_n be_v two_o extreme_n who_o none_o but_o christ_n can_v bring_v together_o jaakob_n see_v in_o a_o vision_n a_o ladder_n that_o reach_v from_o earth_n to_o heaven_n this_o ladder_n saint_n john_n tell_v we_o that_o bring_v heaven_n and_o earth_n together_o ult._n be_v christ_n so_o all_o our_o communion_n with_o god_n be_v by_o mean_n of_o christ_n now_o in_o our_o communion_n with_o christ_n we_o there_o be_v some_o thing_n that_o christ_n communicat_n to_o we_o and_o there_o be_v some_o thing_n that_o we_o communicate_v to_o he_o four_o thing_n christ_n communicate_v to_o we_o first_o 1_o himself_o not_o his_o spirit_n and_o his_o grace_n only_o but_o himself_o also_o therefore_o see_v that_o christ_n give_v himself_o himself_o let_v we_o be_v ready_a to_o receive_v he_o for_o this_o be_v the_o great_a blessing_n that_o can_v be_v give_v we_o as_o isaiah_n 9_o 6._o for_o unto_o we_o a_o child_n be_v bear_v quest_n and_o unto_o we_o a_o son_n be_v give_v but_o some_o man_n may_v ask_v by_o what_o mean_n be_v christ_n give_v i_o answer_v by_o our_o willingness_n in_o receive_v he_o offer_v in_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n sol._n and_o in_o the_o use_n of_o the_o sacrament_n even_o as_o a_o father_n that_o mean_v to_o give_v his_o child_n house_n and_o land_n simile_n the_o father_n be_v willing_a to_o give_v it_o and_o the_o child_n to_o receive_v it_o in_o both_o there_o be_v a_o mutual_a agreement_n so_o god_n for_o his_o part_n be_v willing_a to_o give_v we_o christ_n if_o we_o be_v willing_a to_o receive_v he_o and_o by_o this_o mutual_a

sanctify_a grace_n in_o other_o city_n there_o be_v market_n for_o the_o body_n but_o in_o this_o city_n the_o lord_n keep_v open_a market_n with_o spiritual_a grace_n to_o furnish_v our_o soul_n and_o therefore_o three_o herein_o this_o city_n excel_v all_o other_o city_n in_o the_o world_n four_o 4_o in_o many_o other_o city_n there_o be_v many_o other_o liberty_n and_o immunity_n all_o these_o immunity_n be_v but_o to_o free_v they_o from_o toil_n and_o tribute_n freedom_n but_o the_o church_n of_o god_n do_v not_o thus_o free_a man_n for_o christ_n himself_o pay_v tribute_n matth._n 17._o 27._o and_o paul_n exhort_v we_o rom._n 13._o 7._o give_v unto_o all_o man_n therefore_o their_o due_n tribute_n to_o who_o you_o owe_v tribute_n custom_n to_o who_o custom_n the_o

evil_a conscience_n from_o the_o devil_n and_o from_o hell_n thus_o john_n 8._o 36._o say_v christ_n if_o the_o son_n make_v you_o free_a you_o shall_v be_v free_a indeed_o and_o gal._n 4._o 26._o say_v the_o apostle_n but_o jerusalem_n which_o be_v above_o be_v free_a which_o be_v the_o mother_n of_o we_o all_o a_o man_n may_v be_v a_o citizen_n of_o a_o great_a city_n and_o yet_o lie_v in_o

be_v the_o only_a head_n of_o the_o church_n it_o may_v be_v see_v in_o three_o thing_n first_o because_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n be_v most_o eminent_a in_o he_o for_o as_o life_n be_v most_o

it_o please_v the_o father_n that_o in_o he_o all_o fullness_n shall_v dwell_v second_o 2_o because_o of_o the_o near_a conjunction_n that_o be_v between_o the_o head_n and_o the_o member_n the_o natural_a head_n may_v be_v part_v with_o a_o blow_n from_o the_o body_n but_o the_o devil_n and_o all_o the_o damn_v can_v part_v christ_n and_o his_o mystical_a body_n three_o 3_o in_o regard_n of_o

only_o belong_v to_o the_o head_n not_o to_o archangel_n nor_o angel_n therefore_o away_o with_o the_o pope_n the_o second_o consequent_a be_v 2_o that_o see_v christ_n be_v head_n of_o the_o church_n therefore_o as_o the_o head_n communicate_v life_n and_o motion_n into_o the_o body_n consequent_a so_o from_o christ_n flow_v spiritual_a life_n and_o grace_n into_o the_o church_n there_o be_v never_o a_o true_a member_n but_o christ_n communicate_v life_n and_o grace_n unto_o he_o therefore_o every_o true_a christian_a must_v feel_v a_o derivation_n of_o grace_n and_o spiritual_a life_n

in_o god_n curse_n the_o serpent_n shall_v eat_v dust_n hence_o we_o be_v teach_v see_v god_n do_v exclude_v no_o man_n we_o must_v take_v heed_n we_o do_v not_o exclude_v ourselves_o if_o a_o man_n come_v to_o a_o king_n court_n in_o mean_a apparel_n and_o have_v no_o good_a attendance_n simile_n he_o can_v have_v small_a hope_n of_o access_n to_o the_o king_n oh_o but_o let_v he_o come_v to_o

into_o the_o presence_n chamber_n of_o almighty_a god_n therefore_o see_v no_o man_n be_v exclude_v do_v not_o thou_o exclude_v thyself_o if_o a_o gift_n grant_v or_o pardon_n shall_v come_v from_o the_o king_n to_o certain_a person_n that_o will_v claim_v it_o there_o be_v no_o man_n that_o will_v exclude_v himself_o and_o say_v it_o do_v not_o belong_v to_o i_o but_o every_o man_n will_v labour_v to_o have_v his_o part_n in_o it_o so_o the_o lord_n have_v give_v a_o gift_n and_o a_o grant_n to_o bestow_v pardon_n of_o sin_n the_o love_n and_o favour_n of_o god_n simile_n heaven_n and_o happiness_n to_o all_o that_o will_v repent_v and_o believe_v in_o christ_n therefore_o no_o man_n must_v exclude_v himself_o and_o say_v it_o do_v not_o belong_v to_o i_o but_o labour_v to_o have_v his_o part_n in_o it_o thus_o the_o church_n be_v catholic_a in_o regard_n of_o the_o person_n three_o 3_o the_o church_n of_o god_n be_v catholic_a in_o regard_n of_o time_n for_o it_o have_v be_v in_o all_o age_n and_o so_o shall_v continue_v to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n time_n it_o begin_v in_o adam_n time_n and_o shall_v continue_v to_o the_o last_o man_n that_o shall_v live_v

let_v it_o stand_v for_o their_o sake_n and_o as_o soon_o as_o the_o people_n of_o god_n be_v gather_v home_o then_o this_o world_n shall_v have_v a_o end_n as_o the_o prophet_n david_n have_v it_o psal_n 48._o o_o god_n according_a to_o thy_o name_n so_o be_v thy_o praise_n unto_o the_o world_n end_n so_o also_o psal_n 89._o thy_o seed_n will_v i_o establish_v for_o ever_o and_o set_v up_o

that_o shall_v not_o be_v destroy_v a_o kingdom_n that_o shall_v not_o be_v give_v to_o another_o but_o that_o shall_v break_v and_o destroy_v all_o those_o kingdom_n and_o it_o shall_v stand_v for_o ever_o here_o we_o may_v see_v the_o honour_n that_o god_n bring_v we_o to_o to_o be_v of_o that_o communion_n and_o fellowship_n that_o all_o the_o saint_n be_v of_o to_o be_v of_o that_o church_n that_o adam_n abel_n henoch_n noah_n abraham_n moses_n and_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o patriarch_n prophet_n apostle_n and_o christ_n himself_o be_v of_o and_o all_o the_o holy_a man_n that_o

for_o you_o be_v not_o come_v to_o the_o mount_n that_o may_v be_v touch_v etc._n etc._n but_o you_o be_v come_v to_o the_o mount_n zion_n and_o to_o the_o city_n of_o the_o live_a god_n the_o

judge_n of_o all_o man_n and_o to_o the_o spirit_n of_o just_a and_o perfect_a man_n so_o than_o we_o see_v that_o this_o be_v the_o honour_n that_o god_n have_v bring_v we_o to_o to_o be_v of_o the_o same_o church_n and_o company_n that_o the_o prophet_n apostle_n holy_a man_n and_o christ_n himself_o be_v of_o therefore_o to_o apply_v it_o first_o 1_o let_v we_o not_o lose_v the_o grace_n of_o

see_v we_o be_v of_o the_o same_o church_n that_o they_o be_v of_o second_o 2._o see_v the_o church_n have_v be_v in_o all_o time_n past_a and_o shall_v continue_v to_o the_o world_n end_n therefore_o it_o may_v be_v our_o comfort_n in_o all_o the_o trouble_n that_o do_v befall_v it_o when_o we_o see_v man_n conspire_v against_o and_o labour_n to_o destroy_v it_o yet_o notwithstanding_o all_o that_o they_o can_v do_v it_o shall_v stand_v and_o continue_v to_o the_o world_n end_n it_o have_v be_v in_o all_o time_n and_o it_o shall_v continue_v for_o ever_o as_o psal_n 48._o 8._o david_n say_v as_o we_o have_v hear_v so_o have_v we_o see_v in_o the_o city_n of_o the_o lord_n of_o host_n in_o the_o city_n of_o our_o god_n god_n will_v establish_v it_o for_o ever_o therefore_o see_v he_o have_v establish_v the_o church_n it_o shall_v stand_v though_o all_o the_o world_n be_v set_v against_o it_o augustine_n say_v well_o the_o enemy_n of_o the_o church_n though_o they_o come_v

up_o the_o devil_n and_o shut_v up_o hell_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o trouble_v the_o church_n therefore_o though_o we_o do_v not_o see_v the_o church_n visbile_fw-la it_o not_o be_v patent_n and_o

or_o universal_a that_o it_o have_v be_v in_o all_o time_n and_o it_o shall_v continue_v to_o the_o world_n end_n now_o the_o papist_n add_v somewhat_o unto_o this_o article_n object_n and_o say_v that_o we_o must_v believe_v in_o the_o catholic_a romish_a church_n but_o this_o be_v first_o absurd_a in_o religion_n 1._o and_o second_o absurd_a in_o reason_n it_o be_v absurd_a in_o religion_n because_o the_o romish_a church_n must_v fall_v in_o the_o time_n of_o antichrist_n as_o the_o scripture_n show_v and_o as_o the_o papist_n themselves_o say_v but_o the_o true_a catholic_a church_n
