with_o christ_n without_o any_o respect_n to_o any_o politic_a union_n with_o one_o another_o as_o for_o those_o benefit_n which_o be_v of_o a_o politic_a or_o relative_a consideration_n they_o be_v less_o principal_a and_o not_o of_o that_o necessity_n to_o salvation_n such_o be_v the_o love_n of_o all_o saint_n and_o their_o mutual_a prayer_n for_o each_o other_o such_o be_v worship_v together_o and_o the_o benefit_n of_o christ_n discipline_n now_o though_o these_o be_v excellent_a in_o their_o kind_n yet_o much_o inferior_a to_o those_o of_o faith_n and_o repentance_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n as_o be_v not_o so_o absolute_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n as_o these_o be_v now_o i_o will_v fain_o know_v of_o the_o author_n whether_o it_o be_v more_o true_a to_o say_v that_o christ_n by_o his_o death_n do_v primary_o intend_v to_o save_v man_n as_o believer_n as_o penitent_a as_o renew_a and_o pardon_v which_o belong_v to_o christian_n consider_v as_o individual_n which_o be_v what_o i_o affirm_v or_o to_o say_v he_o primary_o intend_v to_o save_v man_n as_o hear_v pray_v praise_v and_o receive_v the_o lord_n supper_n together_o and_o likewise_o by_o be_v under_o discipline_n which_o be_v the_o privilege_n that_o belong_v to_o christian_n as_o fall_v under_o a_o politic_a consideration_n which_o be_v what_o he_o seem_v to_o affirm_v if_o the_o former_a be_v true_a than_o the_o latter_a which_o he_o have_v assert_v be_v false_a for_o both_o of_o they_o can_v be_v primary_o intend_v now_o i_o conceive_v the_o former_a true_a because_o it_o be_v every_o where_o affirm_v in_o scripture_n that_o he_o that_o believe_v he_o that_o repent_v he_o that_o be_v regenerate_v he_o that_o be_v pardon_v shall_v be_v save_v but_o it_o be_v not_o where_o promise_v that_o those_o that_o pray_v and_o praise_n etc._n etc._n with_o the_o church_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v save_v except_o it_o be_v with_o respect_n unto_o faith_n and_o repentance_n which_o as_o i_o have_v say_v belong_v to_o christian_n as_o individual_n and_o not_o as_o member_n of_o a_o church_n but_o he_o say_v that_o herein_o he_o speak_v but_o the_o sense_n and_o language_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o here_o he_o quote_v three_o text_n as_o eph._n 5.25_o act_n 20.28_o eph._n 5.23_o well_o what_o do_v he_o gather_v thence_o hence_o say_v he_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o christ_n die_v primary_o for_o his_o church_n and_o for_o individual_n not_o as_o scatter_v but_o as_o incorporate_v into_o his_o church_n but_o by_o your_o favour_n here_o be_v more_o in_o your_o conclusion_n than_o be_v in_o those_o premise_a text_n indeed_o i_o read_v there_o that_o christ_n give_v himself_o for_o his_o church_n and_o that_o he_o redeem_v his_o church_n with_o his_o blood_n and_o that_o he_o be_v the_o saviour_n of_o his_o body_n which_o be_v his_o church_n but_o i_o find_v not_o a_o word_n there_o of_o die_v primary_o for_o his_o church_n and_o but_o secondary_o for_o individual_n as_o incorporate_v into_o his_o church_n if_o any_o shall_v say_v all_o this_o be_v employ_v if_o not_o express_v i_o say_v who_o ever_o so_o think_v be_v oblige_v to_o show_v how_o and_o which_o way_n it_o come_v to_o be_v imply_v but_o to_o save_v they_o the_o labour_n i_o be_o bold_a to_o affirm_v the_o contrary_a that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n employ_v my_o reason_n be_v this_o because_o church_n in_o each_o of_o those_o place_n be_v take_v for_o a_o collection_n of_o particular_a christian_n consider_v primary_o as_o true_a believer_n as_o true_a penitent_n and_o but_o secondary_o as_o in_o union_n one_o with_o another_o and_o as_o in_o fellowship_n in_o church_n ordinance_n my_o reason_n be_v first_o because_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o word_n or_o context_n that_o can_v force_v a_o contrary_a interpretation_n second_o because_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n speak_v of_o in_o these_o verse_n will_v bear_v no_o interpretation_n but_o such_o as_o i_o give_v because_o the_o intent_n of_o christ_n die_a must_v be_v measure_v according_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o thing_n so_o that_o what_o be_v more_o excellent_a must_v be_v intend_v before_o that_o which_o be_v less_o excellent_a now_o mens_fw-la being_n particular_o unite_v to_o christ_n by_o faith_n their_o have_v their_o nature_n change_v and_o their_o sin_n pardon_v be_v more_o excellent_a than_o their_o union_n and_o communion_n with_o each_o other_o in_o external_a ordinance_n that_o be_v but_o inferior_a ministery_n subservient_fw-fr to_o their_o faith_n and_o their_o renew_a nature_n and_o the_o edification_n of_o they_o therein_o therefore_o christ_n must_v intend_v his_o death_n primary_o for_o his_o church_n as_o believer_n now_o as_o i_o have_v former_o say_v believer_n as_o such_o be_v not_o member_n of_o a_o church_n for_o faith_n speak_v a_o relation_n to_o christ_n but_o no_o relation_n immediate_o to_o any_o other_o christian_n or_o christian_n whatever_o again_o under_o what_o qualification_n and_o for_o what_o reason_n christ_n be_v say_v primary_o to_o be_v saviour_n of_o the_o church_n his_o body_n under_o that_o qualification_n and_o for_o that_o reason_n christ_n be_v say_v primary_o to_o die_v and_o shed_v his_o blood_n for_o his_o body_n but_o christ_n do_v not_o save_v his_o church_n under_o the_o qualification_n or_o for_o that_o reason_n primary_o because_o they_o be_v unite_v in_o external_a act_n of_o worship_n and_o discipline_n and_o upon_o that_o account_n it_o be_v they_o be_v of_o your_o visible_a politic_a body_n or_o church_n but_o because_o its_o particular_a member_n be_v believer_n and_o penitent_a but_o christian_n quatenus_fw-la believer_n or_o penitent_a be_v not_o consider_v as_o member_n of_o a_o church_n for_o indeed_o faith_n and_o repentance_n speak_v no_o relation_n immediate_o to_o any_o but_o god_n and_o christ_n that_o of_o church_n membership_n come_v in_o as_o a_o consequent_a thereof_o to_o which_o privilege_n faith_n give_v the_o title_n therefore_o christ_n do_v not_o die_v to_o save_v his_o church_n quatenus_fw-la a_o society_n unite_v for_o worship_n etc._n etc._n but_o quatenus_fw-la its_o member_n be_v true_a believer_n and_o no_o further_o and_o for_o this_o cause_n i_o assert_v that_o the_o primary_n end_n of_o christ_n death_n be_v to_o save_v individual_a believer_n and_o but_o secondary_o to_o save_v his_o church_n so_o far_o as_o it_o consist_v of_o such_o and_o no_o further_o yet_o again_o if_o christ_n intend_v primary_o to_o save_v man_n because_o they_o be_v member_n of_o a_o church_n then_o certain_o the_o first_o thing_n that_o the_o gospel_n shall_v press_v upon_o sinner_n be_v that_o they_o shall_v first_o

state_n of_o sin_n and_o death_n and_o it_o be_v that_o they_o will_v repent_v of_o their_o sin_n and_o believe_v in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n upon_o the_o do_n of_o which_o it_o promise_v remission_n and_o a_o title_n to_o salvation_n and_o till_o this_o be_v do_v there_o be_v no_o mention_n of_o any_o command_n oblige_v they_o to_o become_v a_o member_n of_o a_o church_n and_o reality_n or_o

he_o viz._n that_o by_o virtue_n of_o that_o relation_n to_o the_o church_n it_o be_v that_o a_o christian_n have_v any_o relation_n to_o christ_n he_o add_v agreeable_a to_o this_o notion_n it_o be_v

to_o his_o notion_n that_o christ_n intend_v the_o salvation_n of_o no_o particular_a christian_n but_o consider_v as_o member_n of_o a_o church_n i_o answer_v they_o be_v ever_o just_a so_o much_o

belong_v be_v but_o for_o the_o sake_n and_o subordinate_v to_o the_o welfare_n of_o particular_a christian_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o christ_n shall_v first_o intend_v the_o

i_o leave_v to_o illustrate_v this_o matter_n yet_o further_o by_o this_o similitude_n let_v we_o consider_v christ_n as_o the_o general_a of_o a_o army_n who_o be_v by_o the_o apostle_n call_v the_o

as_o so_o many_o particular_a soldier_n now_o let_v we_o consider_v the_o several_a end_n which_o a_o general_n have_v in_o gather_v his_o soldier_n into_o a_o army_n and_o which_o end_n be_v more_o

the_o next_o end_n intend_v be_v the_o preservation_n of_o his_o soldier_n without_o which_o the_o more_o principal_a end_n can_v be_v obtain_v and_o that_o which_o be_v a_o end_n subordinate_a to_o

hence_o be_v this_o that_o this_o author_n be_v much_o mistake_v when_o he_o say_v that_o christ_n do_v primary_o intend_v the_o salvation_n of_o his_o church_n and_o secondary_o the_o salvation_n
