such_o a_o people_n for_o the_o neglect_n or_o change_v of_o it_o if_o ever_o god_n will_v have_v do_v this_o we_o may_v most_o reasonable_o expect_v it_o under_o the_o jewish_a oeconomy_n in_o which_o every_o minute_n circumstance_n be_v so_o strict_o command_v by_o god_n as_o have_v something_o sacred_a and_o typical_a in_o it_o and_o yet_o it_o do_v not_o appear_v that_o every_o deviation_n from_o their_o rule_n though_o in_o some_o very_a material_a part_n of_o it_o do_v provoke_v god_n to_o cast_v they_o off_o god_n have_v appoint_v a_o certain_a place_n where_o they_o shall_v offer_v their_o sacrifice_n to_o he_o and_o when_o this_o place_n be_v actual_o fix_v and_o determine_v it_o be_v unlawful_a for_o they_o to_o offer_v sacrifice_n in_o any_o other_o place_n and_o yet_o when_o the_o temple_n at_o jerusalem_n be_v build_v which_o be_v the_o only_a place_n god_n have_v appoint_v for_o sacrifice_n the_o people_n continue_v to_o offer_v sacrifice_n in_o their_o high_a place_n even_o in_o the_o reign_n of_o very_o good_a king_n and_o though_o this_o practice_n be_v condemn_v yet_o it_o do_v not_o un-church_n they_o god_n have_v appoint_v aaron_n family_n for_o the_o priesthood_n 12.31_o 1_o king_n 12.31_o and_o yet_o jeroboam_n make_v priest_n of_o other_o tribe_n and_o family_n and_o the_o law_n which_o express_o appoint_v aaron_n and_o his_o son_n for_o the_o priest_n office_n only_o threaten_v death_n against_o usurper_n 3.10_o numb_a 3.10_o thou_o shall_v appoint_v aaron_n and_o his_o son_n and_o they_o shall_v wait_v on_o the_o priest_n office_n and_o the_o strange_a that_o come_v nigh_o shall_v be_v put_v to_o death_n god_n do_v not_o reject_v the_o church_n of_o israel_n for_o the_o irregularity_n of_o their_o priest_n but_o own_v they_o for_o his_o church_n and_o people_n many_o year_n after_o this_o till_o they_o defile_v themselves_o with_o the_o worship_n of_o baal_n and_o other_o heathen_a go_n and_o josephus_n

high-priest_n be_v advance_v and_o depose_v even_o in_o the_o time_n of_o our_o saviour_n possible_o may_v think_v it_o as_o inconsistent_a with_o the_o first_o institution_n of_o that_o office_n as_o the_o irregular_a ordination_n of_o presbyter_n 2._o we_o ought_v especial_o to_o consider_v the_o force_n and_o power_n of_o necessity_n to_o dispense_v even_o with_o divine_a institution_n no_o necessity_n can_v dispense_v with_o the_o eternal_a law_n of_o good_a and_o evil_n because_o no_o necessity_n can_v be_v plead_v to_o justify_v man_n in_o sin_n though_o in_o some_o case_n it_o may_v extenuate_v the_o evil_a and_o guilt_n of_o it_o for_o the_o internal_a necessity_n in_o the_o nature_n of_o thing_n be_v strong_a than_o any_o external_a necessity_n can_v be_v no_o external_a force_n can_v compel_v man_n to_o sin_n which_o be_v a_o act_n of_o their_o own_o will_n and_o choice_n and_o the_o obligation_n to_o virtue_n remain_v in_o the_o most_o extreme_a necessity_n but_o in_o positive_a institution_n which_o depend_v upon_o the_o will_n of_o god_n we_o find_v necessity_n have_v often_o dispense_v and_o that_o with_o god_n allowance_n and_o approbation_n as_o to_o give_v some_o few_o example_n of_o it_o 1._o the_o necessity_n of_o the_o divine_a worship_n have_v dispense_v with_o positive_a institution_n thus_o in_o hezekiah_n sacrifice_n the_o priest_n be_v too_o few_o 29.34.35.11_o 2_o ch_n run_v 29.34.35.11_o the_o levite_n assist_v they_o in_o do_v the_o priest_n work_n in_o slay_v the_o sacrifice_n and_o the_o like_a we_o may_v see_v in_o josiah_n passeover_n and_o by_o the_o same_o reason_n we_o may_v suppose_v that_o if_o the_o family_n of_o aaron_n have_v fail_v other_o family_n of_o the_o tribe_n of_o levi_n may_v have_v succeed_v into_o the_o priest_n office_n though_o against_o a_o positive_a law_n for_o the_o necessity_n of_o the_o divine_a worship_n be_v much_o great_a and_o more_o unalterable_a than_o the_o confinement_n of_o the_o priesthood_n to_o a_o certain_a family_n and_o where_o the_o divine_a providence_n make_v a_o necessity_n necessity_n will_v make_v a_o priest_n and_o therefore_o i_o think_v a_o late_a learned_a and_o ingenious_a author_n who_o dispute_v so_o earnest_o that_o the_o power_n of_o administer_a sacrament_n must_v be_v derive_v from_o god_n and_o that_o this_o power_n now_o be_v give_v only_o by_o episcopal_a ordination_n aught_o to_o have_v distinguish_v between_o the_o ordinary_a and_o extraordinary_a conveyance_n of_o power_n whoever_o administer_v in_o holy_a thing_n must_v derive_v his_o power_n from_o god_n because_o he_o act_n in_o god_n name_n and_o when_o it_o may_v be_v do_v he_o must_v derive_v his_o power_n in_o such_o a_o way_n as_o god_n have_v appoint_v by_o a_o positive_a law_n and_o whoever_o reject_v this_o way_n without_o necessity_n can_v have_v no_o valid_a power_n but_o whatever_o he_o do_v be_v null_a and_o void_a as_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o all_o ordination_n of_o presbyter_n be_v in_o opposition_n to_o and_o contempt_n of_o their_o bishop_n as_o i_o think_v that_o learned_a man_n have_v sufficient_o prove_v but_o the_o case_n of_o necessity_n ought_v to_o be_v consider_v it_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o all_o positive_a institution_n to_o oblige_v in_o case_n of_o necessity_n and_o i_o take_v that_o to_o be_v a_o case_n of_o necessity_n when_o episcopal_a order_n can_v be_v have_v and_o yet_o the_o church_n must_v sail_v without_o they_o bishop_n be_v for_o the_o church_n not_o the_o church_n for_o bishop_n and_o when_o the_o ordinary_a conveyance_n of_o this_o authority_n fail_v necessity_n legitimate_v other_o extraordinary_a way_n we_o have_v all_o the_o reason_n in_o the_o world_n to_o presume_v in_o such_o case_n that_o god_n will_v confirm_v and_o ratify_v the_o choice_n and_o designation_n of_o the_o people_n much_o more_o the_o ordination_n of_o the_o presbytery_n where_o episcopal_a ordination_n can_v be_v have_v for_o i_o see_v no_o reason_n why_o presbyter_n may_v not_o do_v the_o bishop_n work_n in_o case_n of_o necessity_n as_o well_o as_o levite_n do_v the_o work_n of_o priest_n 2._o the_o necessity_n of_o man_n life_n dispense_v with_o positive_a law_n upon_o this_o account_n our_o saviour_n justify_v david_n eat_v the_o shewbread_n when_o he_o be_v a_o hunger_a

considerable_a as_o any_o temporal_a concernment_n 3._o but_o we_o may_v further_o consider_v what_o force_n and_o authority_n the_o presumptive_a allowance_n of_o the_o church_n have_v in_o such_o case_n the_o christian_a church_n in_o all_o age_n have_v think_v fit_a to_o dispense_v with_o positive_a institution_n in_o case_n of_o necessity_n and_o by_o she_o own_o approbation_n and_o authority_n to_o supply_v the_o defect_n and_o irregularity_n of_o such_o administration_n and_o therefore_o certain_o do_v believe_v she_o have_v power_n to_o do_v it_o and_o indeed_o if_o there_o be_v not_o sufficient_a authority_n in_o the_o church_n to_o provide_v for_o case_n of_o necessity_n the_o power_n of_o the_o church_n be_v more_o defective_a than_o of_o any_o other_o society_n of_o man_n and_o can_v in_o many_o case_n without_o a_o miracle_n preserve_v she_o own_o be_v and_o therefore_o if_o the_o church_n may_v be_v presume_v in_o case_n of_o necessity_n to_o allow_v person_n to_o perform_v such_o religious_a office_n and_o ministry_n as_o otherwise_o they_o be_v not_o qualify_v to_o perform_v this_o very_a allowance_n supply_v the_o incapacity_n of_o the_o person_n and_o

to_o be_v a_o propitiation_n through_o faith_n in_o his_o blood_n for_o though_o faith_n in_o christ_n be_v very_o often_o use_v in_o a_o very_a large_a sense_n for_o the_o whole_a gospel_n of_o our_o saviour_n and_o to_o comprehend_v all_o act_n of_o obedience_n and_o a_o holy_a life_n as_o the_o principle_n from_o whence_o they_o flow_v and_o no_o other_o be_v true_a justify_v faith_n but_o that_o which_o include_v obedience_n and_o a_o holy_a life_n yet_o sometime_o faith_n be_v distinguish_v from_o repentance_n and_o a_o holy_a life_n and_o so_o have_v christ_n and_o in_o a_o peculiar_a manner_n his_o blood_n for_o its_o object_n thus_o the_o sum_n of_o st._n paul_n preach_v be_v repentance_n towards_o god_n 20.21_o act._n 20.21_o and_o faith_n towards_o our_o lord_n

the_o expiation_n of_o christ_n death_n as_o the_o meritorious_a cause_n of_o pardon_n under_o the_o law_n a_o sacrifice_n be_v available_a only_o for_o those_o for_o who_o it_o be_v offer_v but_o under_o the_o gospel_n instead_o of_o offer_v a_o sacrifice_n to_o god_n we_o must_v believe_v in_o that_o sacrifice_n which_o be_v already_o offer_v which_o do_v particular_o apply_v the_o merit_n and_o virtue_n of_o it_o to_o ourselves_o as_o the_o oblation_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n do_v under_o the_o law_n for_o if_o we_o will_v have_v christ_n for_o our_o saviour_n or_o have_v any_o interest_n in_o the_o expiation_n of_o his_o death_n we_o must_v choose_v he_o for_o our_o saviour_n by_o faith_n in_o his_o blood_n for_o i_o can_v see_v but_o why_o repentance_n may_v be_v as_o well_o accept_v from_o we_o without_o a_o sacrifice_n as_o without_o respect_n and_o relation_n to_o a_o sacrifice_n and_o yet_o the_o only_a thing_n that_o can_v entitle_v our_o repentance_n in_o particular_a to_o the_o virtue_n of_o christ_n sacrifice_n be_v faith_n in_o his_o blood_n which_o i_o think_v be_v a_o plain_a argument_n that_o the_o atonement_n of_o christ_n death_n be_v a_o fundamental_a doctrine_n of_o christianity_n because_o it_o be_v essential_a to_o a_o justify_v faith_n but_o then_o there_o be_v a_o great_a many_o other_o opinion_n relate_v to_o the_o atonement_n and_o satisfaction_n of_o christ_n death_n which_o be_v true_a or_o false_a but_o not_o fundamental_a for_o as_o st._n paul_n observe_v the_o foundation_n be_v christ_n but_o yet_o man_n may_v build_v upon_o this_o foundation_n either_o gold_n and_o silver_n or_o hay_n and_o stubble_n that_o be_v true_a or_o false_a doctrine_n which_o be_v of_o great_a use_n in_o the_o christian_a life_n or_o of_o very_o dangerous_a consequence_n but_o yet_o while_o they_o retain_v the_o foundation_n though_o their_o work_n perish_v i._n e._n the_o superstructure_n of_o their_o private_a opinion_n be_v condemn_v and_o reject_v yet_o they_o themselves_o may_v escape_v though_o with_o great_a difficulty_n so_o as_o by_o fire_n thus_o while_o man_n hearty_o believe_v that_o christ_n die_v for_o our_o sin_n and_o have_v make_v expiation_n for_o they_o by_o his_o blood_n and_o expect_v the_o pardon_n of_o their_o sin_n only_o in_o christ_n name_n that_o be_v in_o virtue_n of_o his_o sacrifice_n and_o intercession_n they_o may_v fall_v into_o great_a mistake_n about_o the_o nature_n extent_n and_o application_n of_o this_o sacrifice_n and_o yet_o not_o err_v fundamental_o though_o their_o error_n may_v be_v dangerous_a and_o always_o be_v so_o when_o they_o betray_v they_o to_o sin_n of_o this_o nature_n i_o reckon_v some_o of_o those_o unhappy_a dispute_n which_o have_v tear_v and_o divide_v the_o church_n in_o these_o late_a day_n of_o liberty_n and_o confusion_n whether_o christ_n bear_v our_o sin_n or_o only_o the_o punishment_n of_o sin_n whether_o he_o be_v the_o great_a sinner_n or_o only_o the_o great_a sacrifice_n for_o sin_n whether_o he_o suffer_v the_o same_o punishment_n which_o all_o sinner_n shall_v have_v suffer_v have_v they_o be_v damn_v for_o their_o sin_n or_o suffer_v that_o which_o be_v equivalent_a to_o it_o and_o which_o god_n accept_v for_o a_o complete_a and_o perfect_a satisfaction_n whether_o the_o expiation_n of_o christ_n death_n be_v so_o absolute_o necessary_a to_o the_o pardon_n of_o our_o sin_n that_o god_n can_v not_o forgive_v sin_n without_o it_o or_o whether_o god_n choose_v this_o way_n as_o most_o agreeable_a to_o the_o wise_a method_n of_o government_n and_o the_o most_o glorious_a illustration_n of_o all_o his_o attribute_n whether_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n make_v satisfaction_n to_o a_o natural_a vindictive_a justice_n and_o be_v pay_v to_o god_n as_o the_o offend_a party_n or_o as_o the_o governor_n of_o the_o world_n whether_o christ_n make_v a_o general_a atonement_n for_o sin_n or_o satisfy_v only_o for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o elect_n whether_o all_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o elect_a be_v actual_o lay_v upon_o christ_n from_o eternity_n and_o actual_o pardon_v before_o they_o be_v commit_v or_o whether_o they_o be_v pardon_v in_o time_n when_o we_o repent_v and_o believe_v whether_o what_o christ_n suffer_v for_o we_o be_v so_o impute_v to_o we_o as_o if_o we_o ourselves_o have_v do_v it_o which_o make_v the_o great_a sinner_n perfect_o innocent_a and_o look_v upon_o by_o god_n as_o never_o to_o have_v sin_v or_o whether_o it_o be_v impute_v to_o we_o only_o for_o our_o pardon_n and_o

be_v of_o a_o very_a dangerous_a nature_n and_o a_o great_a state_n of_o temptation_n yet_o be_v not_o fundamental_a error_n because_o they_o do_v not_o destroy_v the_o foundation_n the_o atonement_n

great_a loss_n and_o damage_n to_o such_o builder_n when_o every_o man_n work_n come_v to_o be_v try_v but_o to_o proceed_v among_o the_o fundamental_a doctrine_n of_o salvation_n by_o christ_n we_o must_v reckon_v not_o only_o the_o atonement_n and_o expiation_n of_o his_o death_n but_o the_o gift_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n to_o renew_v and_o sanctify_v we_o for_o this_o make_v he_o a_o

and_o therefore_o one_o of_o the_o principal_a fruit_n and_o benefit_n of_o his_o sacrifice_n by_o which_o we_o may_v understand_v the_o value_n and_o necessity_n of_o it_o to_o deny_v the_o

faith_n in_o christ_n and_o err_v not_o for_o want_v of_o instruction_n but_o from_o a_o certain_a wantonness_n and_o pride_n of_o understanding_n they_o inquire_v into_o the_o particular_a doctrine_n of_o faith_n and_o understand_v what_o have_v be_v and_o be_v the_o general_a faith_n of_o christian_n in_o such_o matter_n for_o otherwise_o they_o will_v have_v no_o occasion_n to_o deny_v such_o

against_o the_o declare_a sense_n of_o the_o universal_a church_n which_o be_v such_o unpardonable_a immodesty_n as_o admit_v of_o no_o excuse_n if_o they_o lose_v themselves_o in_o the_o maze_n and_o

why_o we_o shall_v deny_v the_o necessity_n of_o believe_v the_o fundamental_o of_o christian_a faith_n any_o more_o for_o their_o sake_n than_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o devout_a and_o virtuous_a jew_n

consequence_n overthrow_v foundation_n and_o whether_o such_o church_n may_v be_v say_v to_o err_v fundamental_o i_o will_v but_o brief_o touch_v on_o this_o head_n and_o though_o i_o may_v give_v too_o many_o instance_n of_o it_o i_o shall_v at_o present_a confine_v myself_o to_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n i_o know_v no_o fundamental_a article_n of_o our_o faith_n that_o be_v express_o deny_v by_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n she_o receive_v all_o the_o ancient_a creed_n profess_v the_o faith_n of_o the_o holy_a trinity_n the_o incarnation_n the_o satisfaction_n of_o christ_n death_n his_o intercession_n for_o we_o at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n but_o then_o she_o teach_v such_o other_o corrupt_a doctrine_n as_o all_o the_o wit_n of_o man_n can_v reconcile_v with_o this_o faith_n as_o to_o show_v this_o brief_o with_o reference_n to_o the_o satisfaction_n and_o intercession_n of_o christ_n the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n satisfaction_n seem_v many_o way_n to_o be_v overthrow_v by_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n as_o by_o the_o propitiatory_a sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n which_o be_v offer_v for_o the_o quick_a and_o for_o the_o dead_a for_o if_o christ_n make_v a_o perfect_a satisfaction_n for_o sin_n by_o his_o death_n upon_o the_o cross_n what_o need_v of_o repeat_v this_o sacrifice_n every_o day_n which_o represent_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v as_o imperfect_a as_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o law_n which_o can_v not_o take_v away_o sin_n nor_o make_v the_o comer_n thereunto_o perfect_a and_o therefore_o be_v repeat_v again_o every_o year_n thus_o the_o doctrine_n of_o humane_a penance_n and_o satisfaction_n especial_o the_o fire_n of_o purgatory_n the_o merit_n of_o good_a work_n and_o the_o superabundant_a merit_n of_o some_o eminent_a saint_n which_o compose_v the_o treasury_n of_o the_o church_n and_o may_v be_v apply_v by_o the_o pope_n to_o other_o sinner_n to_o purchase_v their_o pardon_n which_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o indulgence_n seem_v mighty_o to_o disparage_v the_o satisfaction_n of_o christ_n for_o if_o he_o have_v make_v a_o perfect_a atonement_n for_o all_o our_o sin_n we_o need_v not_o invent_v so_o many_o other_o way_n of_o satisfaction_n and_o whoever_o consider_v what_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n teach_v about_o the_o intercession_n of_o saint_n and_o angel_n and_o the_o virgin_n mary_n can_v hardly_o think_v that_o she_o do_v believe_v that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n but_o i_o need_v not_o enumerate_v many_o particular_n the_o truth_n of_o this_o be_v too_o evident_a and_o notorious_a the_o great_a question_n then_o be_v this_o whether_o such_o a_o church_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v guilty_a of_o fundamental_a error_n for_o this_o sound_n like_o a_o contradiction_n that_o a_o church_n which_o believe_v all_o the_o fundamental_a article_n of_o that_o christian_a faith_n shall_v yet_o be_v guilty_a of_o fundamental_a error_n and_o indeed_o if_o by_o fundamental_a error_n we_o mean_v such_o error_n as_o deny_v any_o fundamental_a article_n so_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o a_o church_n which_o own_v and_o profess_v all_o fundamental_o can_v be_v guilty_a of_o fundamental_a error_n but_o if_o by_o fundamental_a error_n we_o mean_v such_o error_n as_o contradict_v the_o fundamental_o of_o faith_n so_o she_o may_v be_v guilty_a of_o fundamental_a error_n because_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o a_o church_n to_o believe_v two_o doctrine_n which_o contradict_v each_o other_o when_o the_o contradiction_n be_v not_o in_o express_a term_n but_o consequential_a for_o all_o man_n or_o church_n do_v not_o see_v or_o will_v not_o own_o the_o immediate_a and_o necessary_a consequence_n of_o their_o own_o doctrine_n as_o may_v easy_o be_v observe_v among_o a_o great_a many_o other_o man_n beside_o those_o of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o the_o use_n of_o this_o observation_n be_v very_o considerable_a upon_o many_o account_n but_o especial_o in_o our_o present_a dispute_n about_o catholic_n communion_n as_o will_v appear_v by_o consider_v 3._o how_o far_o and_o in_o what_o case_n we_o may_v communicate_v with_o such_o a_o church_n as_o believe_v all_o the_o fundamental_o of_o christian_a faith_n and_o yet_o teach_v such_o doctrine_n as_o in_o their_o immediate_a and_o necessary_a consequence_n overthrow_v foundation_n this_o be_v a_o very_a material_a difference_n between_o a_o church_n which_o deny_v any_o fundamental_a article_n of_o faith_n and_o a_o church_n which_o believe_v all_o fundamental_o but_o superadd_v some_o corrupt_a doctrine_n which_o in_o their_o consequence_n destroy_v foundation_n that_o the_o first_o be_v never_o capable_a of_o catholic_n communion_n because_o she_o deny_v catholic_n doctrine_n which_o be_v the_o necessary_a condition_n of_o catholic_n communion_n but_o the_o second_o in_o some_o case_n may_v be_v because_o she_o retain_v all_o save_a knowledge_n i._n e._n all_o which_o be_v of_o absolute_a necessity_n to_o salvation_n though_o intermix_v with_o dangerous_a error_n now_o to_o state_n this_o matter_n how_o far_o we_o may_v communicate_v with_o such_o a_o church_n as_o profess_v all_o the_o fundamental_a article_n of_o faith_n but_o yet_o superadd_v other_o very_a corrupt_a and_o dangerous_a doctrine_n we_o may_v consider_v these_o two_o thing_n 1._o i_o think_v i_o need_v not_o tell_v any_o man_n that_o we_o must_v not_o purchase_v the_o communion_n of_o such_o a_o church_n by_o profess_v our_o assent_n to_o any_o corrupt_a doctrine_n though_o it_o be_v not_o a_o fundamental_a error_n no_o one_o church_n ought_v thus_o to_o impose_v upon_o another_o nor_o do_v any_o church_n pretend_v to_o it_o but_o only_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n every_o church_n be_v bind_v to_o preserve_v she_o own_o faith_n as_o pure_a and_o perfect_a as_o she_o can_v but_o she_o have_v not_o that_o authority_n over_o any_o other_o church_n as_o to_o impose_v upon_o their_o faith_n a_o orthodox_n church_n may_v and_o aught_o to_o admonish_v neighbour_n church_n of_o any_o doctrinal_a corruption_n but_o must_v not_o reject_v their_o communion_n for_o every_o error_n though_o of_o dangerous_a consequence_n if_o it_o be_v not_o fundamental_a the_o belief_n of_o all_o fundamental_a article_n of_o faith_n do_v mighty_o qualify_v the_o evil_a and_o malignant_a influence_n of_o many_o very_a corrupt_a doctrine_n which_o be_v the_o true_a reason_n why_o many_o man_n be_v observe_v to_o live_v much_o better_a than_o they_o believe_v because_o though_o they_o have_v entertain_v a_o great_a many_o corrupt_a doctrine_n which_o
