A84893	Light vanquishing darknesse. Or a vindication of some truths formerly declared, from those aspersions which have been (by reason of some misapprehensions) cast upon them; now published for the satisfaction and benefit of others. With a preambular epistle to all sorts of men. As also a parcell of good counsell, if you can take it. / By Captain Francis Freeman, a late member of the army.

touch_v the_o manner_n of_o our_o discourse_n the_o ground_n of_o my_o argument_n lie_v thus_o that_o he_o that_o have_v faith_n he_o be_v in_o christ_n and_o christ_n in_o he_o so_o that_o faith_n be_v christ_n manifest_v in_o he_o and_o he_o be_v christ_n though_o not_o essential_o yet_o in_o respect_n of_o that_o spiritual_a oneness_n with_o he_o and_o in_o he_o john_n 17._o so_o that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o separation_n nor_o division_n betwixt_o the_o head_n and_o member_n in_o regard_n of_o that_o spiritual_a union_n and_o oneness_n and_o as_o there_o be_v that_o spiritual_a

fountain_n both_o joint_o and_o several_o in_o regard_n of_o that_o near_a relation_n and_o conjunction_n betwixt_o the_o head_n and_o member_n but_o first_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v that_o there_o be_v a_o relative_a union_n and_o there_o be_v a_o real_a union_n which_o i_o shall_v show_v you_o under_o a_o twofold_a consideration_n yet_o comparative_o in_o my_o apprehension_n they_o be_v both_o as_o one_o 1._o this_o relative_a union_n be_v as_o the_o husband_n and_o wise_a christ_n and_o his_o church_n and_o this_o real_a union_n be_v as_o the_o tree_n and_o branch_n and_o if_o so_o be_v

of_o its_o own_o nature_n yet_o it_o soon_o wither_v and_o die_v although_o the_o body_n live_v and_o grow_v now_o this_o relative_a union_n with_o christ_n and_o his_o church_n be_v such_o a_o

christ_n say_v that_o he_o be_v the_o vine_n and_o you_o be_v the_o branch_n and_o if_o so_o b_o e_z a_o member_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v a_o branch_n of_o that_o vine_n be_v cut_v off_o by_o a_o corporal_a or_o temporal_a death_n yet_o the_o spirit_n retain_v its_o first_o principle_n and_o return_n to_o god_n that_o give_v it_o and_o spritual_o it_o continue_v and_o remain_v a_o branch_n of_o that_o royal_a stock_n for_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o neither_o life_n nor_o death_n nor_o thing_n present_a nor_o thing_n to_o come_v shall_v be_v able_a to_o separate_v we_o from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n which_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n so_o that_o here_o we_o see_v that_o this_o be_v that_o spiritual_a union_n and_o oneness_n not_o that_o the_o body_n be_v the_o head_n or_o the_o head_n the_o body_n but_o that_o all_o the_o member_n as_o branch_n make_v up_o but_o one_o body_n whereof_o christ_n be_v the_o head_n and_o they_o be_v a_o perfect_a body_n in_o christ_n so_o
