incumbent_n on_o all_o believer_n according_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o separate_v themselves_o from_o those_o that_o be_v not_o of_o the_o church_n and_o to_o join_v to_o this_o congregation_n in_o what_o place_n socever_v god_n have_v constitute_v the_o same_o although_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o decree_n of_o magistrate_n and_o prince_n even_o on_o pain_n of_o corporal_a punishment_n or_o death_n wherefore_o all_o those_o who_o separate_v themselves_o from_o this_o church_n or_o do_v not_o join_v with_o it_o act_n against_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god._n xxix_o we_o believe_v that_o it_o be_v requisite_a to_o search_v diligent_o and_o with_o a_o circumspect_a care_n to_o discern_v from_o the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o be_v the_o true_a church_n since_o all_o sect_n that_o be_v in_o the_o world_n now_o adays_o do_v cover_v themselves_o with_o the_o name_n of_o the_o church_n we_o do_v not_o speak_v of_o the_o company_n of_o hypocrite_n who_o be_v mix_v in_o the_o church_n among_o the_o good_a one_o without_o belong_v to_o the_o church_n tho'_o outward_o they_o be_v in_o it_o but_o we_o say_v that_o the_o body_n and_o communion_n of_o the_o true_a church_n ought_v to_o be_v distinguish_v from_o all_o sect_n who_o call_v themselves_o the_o church_n the_o mark_n to_o know_v the_o true_a church_n by_o be_v these_o if_o in_o the_o church_n there_o be_v a_o pure_a preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n if_o the_o pure_a administration_n of_o the_o sacrament_n so_o as_o it_o be_v institute_v by_o christ_n himself_o be_v make_v use_n of_o if_o the_o ecclesiastical_a censure_n be_v exercise_v for_o the_o punishment_n of_o sin_n in_o a_o word_n if_o the_o conversation_n be_v according_a to_o the_o pure_a word_n of_o god_n reject_v all_o thing_n contrary_a thereunto_o and_o hold_v jesus_n christ_n as_o the_o only_a head_n by_o these_o token_n one_o may_v certain_o know_v the_o true_a church_n and_o none_o ought_v to_o separate_v themselves_o from_o the_o same_o and_o as_o for_o those_o that_o be_v of_o the_o church_n they_o may_v be_v know_v by_o the_o mark_n of_o the_o christian_n viz._n by_o their_o faith_n and_o when_o they_o have_v receive_v the_o only_a saviour_n jesus_n christ_n avoid_v sin_n and_o pursue_v righteousness_n love_v the_o true_a god_n and_o their_o neighbour_n not_o decline_v neither_o to_o the_o

through_o the_o spirit_n all_o the_o day_n of_o their_o life_n have_v continual_o recours_fw-fr to_o the_o blood_n death_n sustering_n and_o obedience_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n in_o which_o they_o have_v remission_n of_o sin_n through_o faith_n in_o he_o as_o for_o the_o false_a church_n she_o ascribe_v unto_o herself_o and_o her_o ordinance_n more_o power_n and_o authority_n then_o to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o will_v not_o submit_v unto_o the_o yoke_n of_o christ_n she_o administer_v the_o sacrament_n not_o after_o such_o a_o manner_n as_o christ_n have_v institute_v in_o his_o word_n but_o she_o add_v and_o take_v away_o according_a to_o her_o pleasure_n she_o rely_v more_o upon_o man_n then_o upon_o christ_n she_o persecute_v those_o who_o live_v a_o holy_a life_n according_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o who_o rebuke_n her_o fault_n covetousness_n and_o idolatry_n these_o two_o church_n may_v easy_o be_v know_v and_o distinguish_v xxx_o we_o believe_v that_o this_o true_a church_n must_v be_v govern_v according_a to_o the_o spiritual_a policy_n which_o our_o lord_n have_v teach_v we_o in_o his_o word_n viz._n that_o there_o must_v be_v minister_n or_o pastor_n for_o to_o preach_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o to_o administer_v the_o sacrament_n as_o also_o overseer_n and_o deacon_n to_o make_v up_o together_o with_o the_o pastor_n a_o ecclesiastical_a council_n and_o by_o this_o mean_n to_o maintain_v the_o true_a religion_n and_o to_o procure_v a_o free_a course_n for_o the_o true_a doctrine_n likewise_o that_o the_o transgressor_n be_v punish_v and_o restrain_v by_o spiritual_a mean_n that_o the_o poor_a and_o distress_a be_v also_o relieve_v and_o comfort_v according_a to_o what_o they_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o through_o these_o mean_n all_o thing_n will_v proceed_v well_o and_o orderly_o in_o the_o church_n when_o such_o person_n be_v choose_v who_o be_v faithful_a and_o according_a to_o the_o rule_n which_o st._n paul_n preseribe_v in_o his_o epistle_n to_o timothy_n xxxi_o we_o believe_v that_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o elder_n and_o deacon_n aught_o to_o be_v choose_v to_o their_o respective_a office_n by_o a_o lawful_a election_n with_o invocation_n of_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o in_o good_a order_n as_o the_o word_n of_o god_n teach_v every_o one_o therefore_o must_v take_v care_n of_o intrude_a himself_o by_o undecent_a mean_n but_o aught_o to_o stay_v until_o he_o be_v call_v by_o god_n that_o so_o he_o may_v have_v a_o testimony_n of_o his_o call_n and_o be_v certain_a and_o assure_v that_o it_o be_v of_o the_o lord_n and_o as_o for_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o word_n where_o ever_o theyare_a they_o have_v a_o equal_a power_n and_o authority_n be_v all_o minister_n of_o jesus_n christ_n the_o one_o general_a bishop_n and_o only_a head_n of_o the_o church_n moreoever_o lest_o the_o holy_a ordinance_n of_o god_n be_v violate_v or_o despise_v we_o say_v that_o every_o one_o ought_v te_fw-la have_v a_o special_a respect_n unto_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o word_n and_o the_o elder_n of_o the_o church_n for_o their_o work_n sake_n and_o to_o live_v in_o peace_n with_o they_o without_o murmur_v strife_n or_o dissension_n as_o much_o as_o possible_o can_v be_v xxxii_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o we_o believe_v although_o it_o may_v be_v serviceable_a and_o good_a that_o those_o who_o govern_v the_o church_n do_v institute_n among_o themselves_o certain_a ordinance_n for_o the_o maintenance_n and_o support_v the_o body_n of_o the_o church_n yet_o that_o they_o ought_v to_o take_v heed_n of_o depart_v from_o any_o thing_n which_o christ_n our_o only_a master_n have_v order_v and_o therefore_o we_o reject_v all_o manner_n of_o humane_a invention_n and_o law_n which_o any_o may_v introduce_v in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n thereby_o to_o bind_v and_o compel_v the_o conscience_n admit_v of_o nothing_o but_o what_o may_v serve_v to_o the_o nourish_a and_o preservation_n of_o concord_n and_o unity_n and_o to_o keep_v all_o in_o the_o obedience_n of_o god_n unto_o which_o the_o excommunication_n be_v require_v according_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o circumstance_n belong_v thereunto_o xxxiii_o we_o believe_v that_o our_o gracious_a god_n have_v regard_n on_o our_o meanness_n and_o infirmity_n have_v assord_v we_o the_o sacrament_n for_o to_o be_v seal_n of_o his_o promise_n and_o pledge_n of_o the_o kindness_n and_o grace_n of_o god_n unto_o we_o and_o thereby_o to_o nourish_v and_o sustain_v our_o faith_n have_v join_v they_o with_o the_o word_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o so_o he_o may_v propound_v to_o our_o outward_a sense_n both_o that_o which_o he_o signify_v unto_o we_o by_o his_o word_n and_o that_o which_o he_o work_v inward_o in_o our_o heart_n assure_v we_o of_o the_o salvation_n which_o he_o do_v impart_v we_o for_o they_o be_v visible_a sign_n and_o seal_n of_o a_o inward_a and_o invisible_a thing_n by_o which_o mean_v god_n work_v in_o we_o through_o the_o power_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n therefore_o the_o sign_n be_v not_o invain_a or_o empty_a to_o be_v deceive_v thereby_o for_o christ_n jesus_n be_v the_o truth_n thereof_o without_o who_o they_o will_v signify_v nothing_o at_o all_o moreover_o we_o be_v content_a with_o the_o number_n of_o the_o sacrament_n which_o christ_n our_o master_n have_v institute_v be_v but_o two_o to_o wit_v the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n and_o that_o of_o the_o holy_a supper_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n xxxiv_o we_o believe_v and_o confess_v that_o jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o law_n have_v make_v a_o end_n by_o the_o shed_n of_o his_o blood_n of_o all_o other_o shedding_n of_o blood_n that_o may_v be_v make_v for_o the_o propitiation_n and_o satisfaction_n of_o sin_n and_o that_o have_v abrogate_a the_o circumcision_n which_o be_v do_v with_o blood_n have_v institute_v instead_o thereof_o the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n by_o which_o we_o be_v receive_v in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n and_o become_v separate_v from_o all_o other_o people_n and_o strange_a religion_n that_o so_o we_o may_v be_v full_o addict_v to_o he_o and_o bear_v his_o mark_n and_o ensign_n and_o it_o serve_v we_o for_o a_o testimony_n that_o he_o will_v be_v our_o god_n and_o
he_o have_v give_v the_o magistrate_n the_o sword_n in_o their_o hand_n for_o a_o punishment_n of_o the_o wicked_a and_o a_o protection_n of_o the_o godly_a and_o their_o office_n be_v not_o only_o to_o take_v heed_n unto_o and_o to_o watch_v over_o politic_a assaire_n but_o also_o to_o maintain_v the_o holy_a ecclesiastical_a service_n for_o the_o hinder_v and_o exstirpate_v of_o all_o idolatry_n and_o false_a worship_n for_o the_o throw_v down_o of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o antichrist_n and_o the_o exalt_v that_o of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o to_o cause_v the_o gospel_n to_o be_v preach_v everywhere_o that_o so_o god_n may_v be_v honour_v and_o serve_v of_o every_o one_o as_o he_o have_v command_v in_o his_o word_n moreover_o every_o one_o of_o what_o quality_n condition_n or_o state_n he_o be_v be_v bind_v to_o submit_v himself_o to_o the_o magistrate_n to_o pay_v tax_n to_o give_v they_o all_o honour_n and_o due_a respect_n and_o to_o obey_v they_o in_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o contrary_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n pray_v for_o they_o in_o their_o prayer_n that_o the_o lord_n may_v guide_v they_o in_o all_o their_o way_n and_o that_o we_o may_v live_v quiet_o and_o peaceable_o in_o all_o god_n liness_n and_o honesty_n and_o therefore_o we_o reject_v the_o anabaptist_n and_o other_o seditious_a people_n and_o in_o general_a all_o those_o that_o do_v reject_v magistrate_n and_o the_o high_a power_n and_o will_v subsert_v justice_n introduce_v a_o communion_n of_o good_n and_o confound_v the_o decency_n which_o god_n have_v institute_v among_o man_n xxxvii_o last_o we_o believe_v according_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o when_o the_o time_n ordain_v of_o the_o lord_n tho'_o unknown_a to_o all_o creature_n shall_v be_v accomplish_v and_o the_o number_n of_o the_o elect_v complete_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n will_v come_v down_o from_o heaven_n corporal_o and_o visible_o as_o he_o be_v ascend_v with_o great_a glory_n and_o majesty_n for_o to_o declare_v himself_o a_o judge_n both_o of_o the_o live_n and_o the_o dead_a appoint_v this_o old_a world_n to_o be_v burn_v with_o fire_n and_o slame_n for_o its_o purification_n and_o then_o shall_v all_o man_n personal_o appear_v before_o this_o great_a judge_n both_o man_n woman_n and_o child_n that_o ever_o have_v be_v from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n unto_o the_o end_n be_v summon_v by_o the_o voice_n of_o the_o archangel_n and_o the_o sound_n of_o the_o divine_a trumpet_n for_o all_o the_o dead_a shall_v be_v raise_v out_o of_o the_o grave_n and_o the_o soul_n shall_v be_v join_v and_o unite_v with_o their_o own_o body_n in_o which_o former_o they_o have_v live_v and_o as_o for_o those_o who_o then_o shall_v live_v they_o shall_v not_o die_v as_o the_o other_o but_o be_v change_v in_o a_o moment_n and_o from_o corruptible_a become_v incorruptible_a then_o the_o book_n of_o the_o conscience_n will_v be_v open_v and_o the_o dead_a shall_v be_v judge_v according_a to_o their_o deed_n do_v in_o this_o world_n whether_o they_o be_v good_a or_o evil_n nay_o man_n shall_v give_v a_o account_n of_o every_o idle_a word_n which_o they_o have_v speak_v which_o have_v be_v account_v by_o the_o world_n but_o sport_n and_o pastime_n and_o then_o the_o hide_a thing_n and_o the_o hypocrisy_n of_o man_n will_v be_v make_v manifest_a and_o discover_v before_o every_o one_o and_o therefore_o the_o very_a remembrance_n of_o this_o judgement_n be_v terrible_a and_o dreadful_a to_o the_o evildoer_n and_o the_o wicked_a but_o very_o desirable_a and_o comfortable_a to_o the_o godly_a and_o elect_a see_v then_o their_o full_a deliverance_n shall_v be_v accomplish_v and_o they_o shall_v there_o receive_v the_o fruit_n of_o their_o labour_n and_o trouble_n which_o they_o have_v undergo_v their_o innocency_n will_v appear_v to_o all_o and_o they_o shall_v see_v the_o terrible_a vengeance_n which_o god_n will_v execute_v against_o the_o wicked_a who_o have_v most_o cruel_o persecute_v oppress_a and_o vex_v they_o in_o this_o world_n they_o will_v be_v convict_v by_o the_o testimony_n of_o their_o own_o conscience_n and_o shall_v be_v immortal_a but_o in_o such_o a_o manner_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v for_o to_o be_v torment_v in_o the_o everlasting_a fire_n which_o be_v prepare_v for_o the_o devil_n and_o his_o angel_n on_o the_o contrary_a the_o faithful_a and_o elect_v shall_v be_v crown_v with_o glory_n and_o honour_n the_o son_n of_o god_n will_v confess_v their_o name_n before_o god_n his_o father_n and_o his_o choose_a angel_n all_o tear_n shall_v be_v wipe_v away_o from_o their_o eye_n their_o cause_n which_o now_o be_v condemn_v by_o many_o judge_n and_o magistrate_n as_o heretical_a and_o ungodly_a will_v beeknown_a to_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god._n and_o for_o a_o gracious_a reward_n the_o lord_n will_v cause_v they_o to_o enjoy_v such_o a_o glory_n as_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n never_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o imagine_v therefore_o we_o expect_v that_o great_a day_n with_o a_o great_a longing_n that_o so_o we_o may_v full_o enjoy_v the_o promise_n of_o god_n in_o

unto_o we_o the_o wash_n away_o of_o our_o sin_n through_o jesus_n christ_n therefore_o be_v we_o baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n the_o son_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n god_n the_o
