we must be separated thirdly the corruption of nature in our selues the lust of the flesh the lust of the eyes and the pride of life all which are of the world and whâ—ch we must hate and crucifie so turne and become like little children euen borne agayn that we may see the kingdome of God 16. The estate wherevnto God called his church in this life is generally to the communion or fellowhsip of his sonne Iesus Christ as being their onely mediator and Sauiour the Prophet Priest and King of the church which they beleeuâ—ng and professing are alâ—o made partakers in a proportion and in their measure of these three offices with him 17. Iesus Christ is the Prophet raâ—sed vp of God vnto his people to teach them all that God commanded him which also he did both by himselfe and by the Mâ—nistery of his seruants sent of him And as all the treasures of wisdome and knowledge are hid in him so him the church mâ—st hear for all heauenly wisdome and knowledge is to be learned of him and every person which shall not hear this Prophet shall be destroyed out of the people 18 This Prophet call office of Christ he hath communicated with the church by giuing to the same his word for their instruction and comfort and graffing the same within them his spirit also as an Anoynting to teach them all things giuing gifts also or ministers to open and apply the same vnto their sowles likewise power and freedome by witnes profession and practise to hold forth that word of life as lights in the world thereby to preach vnto others the faâ—th of Christ to edâ—fy and build vp one another dayly therein to prouoke vnto loue and to good works to admonish and reprehend for evill and iniquity to forgiue and comfort one another in the bowels of Christ whose word therefore all ought to labour that it may dwel plenteously in them that if any man speak it may be as the words of Gâ—d 19. Iesus the son of God is also the great high priest or Sacrificer of the Church by whose obedience and sacrifice or oblation of hâ—s own body and blood the church is clensed from all sinn and reconciled to God by whose intercession the church with the holy actions oblations of the same are accepted of God and made heires of blessing 20. And this his Prâ—estly office is 〈◊〉 imparted to his church as they haue not onely interest in his death and suffrings whereby they are reconciled to God but also are themselues made a holy priesthood to offer vp spirituall sacriâ—ices acceptable to God by him giuing vp their own bodies a liuing sacrifice mortifying their members whâ—ch are on earth and crucifyâ—ng the flesh with thâ— affections and lâ—sts offring vp contrite and broken hâ—rts with sacrifices of praise confeâ—sing to his name and praying not oâ—â—ly every man for himself but one for another doing good and dâ—stributing to the neceâ—sities of the Saincts suffring afflâ—ction for the Gospell and fynally if they be called therevnto powring out the r soules vnto death fâ—r the truthes sake 21. The Lord Iesus Christ is also the gouernour and king ouer Sion Gods hâ—ly mount and sitteth at his Fathers right hand and reigneth till all his enimies be made his footstool being a King iudge and lawgiuâ—r to hâ—s people commanding and ruling them by his word and spirit jâ—dging them in iustice and equâ—ty preseruing and defendâ—ng them by his almighty power from all their enimies 22. And this his kingly office he so communicateth with hâ—s church as they are by him preserâ—ed and defended from all aduersarie Pâ—wer freed from the dominion of sinne and tyrannie of Satan from subiection to the world and seruitude vnto men and restored to the ioyfull libâ—rty of the Châ—ldren of God the world and all things in it made theirs that howsoeuer they haue still to combate with the Diuill to wraâ—tel against principallities powers to suffer hatred affliction of the world anâ— to warr with the fleshly lusts which fight against the soâ—l yet neither deaâ—h nor life nor Angels nor principallities nor powerâ— nor things present nor things to come nor heigth nor depth nor any other creatâ—re shal be able to separate them from the loue of God which is in Christ Iesus our Lord who hath made them Kâ—ngs and Priâ—sâ—s vnto God even his father and they shall reign on the earth till hâ—uinâ— serâ—ed here theâ—r time they come to reign with him in glorâ— in â—he heauens for euer 2â— Vnto the participation of these promises and heauenly graces are all peoâ—les â—râ—uoked by the Gospell â—reached and such as obey the câ—lâ—â—ng of Gâ—d anâ— come vnto Chrâ—st are vnited vnto him theâ—r head and â—edâ—atâ—r from whomâ— proceedeth the Iustification and sanctificatioâ— of tâ—e Churcâ— 24. Iustification is the partaking of Christs justâ—ce or righteousnes â—n his fulfilling and obeyinâ— the law of God and dâ—schargâ—ng all ouâ— depts and trespasses by his death so freeing vs from the curse and setâ—ing vs in full fauour with God and vnder his blesâ—â—ng which righteousnesse of Christs is fully made ours and impâ—ted to vs by faith for our justification 25. Sanctification is the partakâ—ng of Christs holynes by being graffed with him to the simillâ—tude of his death and resurrection whereby the corruption of nature or old man in vs becometh crucified and buried with him and the new man or image of God is put on and renewed dayly in a holy conuersation 26. Hâ—thâ—rto of the Churches union and communion with Christ her head now followeth the union of the churches memberâ— one with another which is theirâ— couâ—ling togither as one body by the communion of one and the same spirit faith and loue 27. The vnion of the members one with another is to be considered generally or totally and particularly Generally as the châ—rch is called vniuersall or caâ—holik comprehending the whole family of God in heauen and in earth and the fraternity or brotherhood of all Christians which are â—n the world in whome there is but one faith in one and the same God by that one Lord Iesâ—s Christ throuâ—h one Spâ—rit Thus haue they all one Father which is God one mother Ierusalem which is aboue and by the mediation of Chrâ—st are all made one baptised by one spirit into one body and al made to drink into one spirit 28 More Particularly they that are called of God and members oâ—â—he Church vniversall are vnited and gathered into many churches or congregatioÌ„s in several cities countrâ—es every
