made four Patriarks or Metropolitans the Bishop of Rome the Bishop of Alexandria the Bishop of Antioch the Bishop of Ierusalem and after that the Bishop of Constantinople instead of the Bishop of Antioch yet none of them universall till Pope Silvester claim'd this title in the year 670. and after him Hildebrand Gregory the seventh added the Temporall power caused the Sword to be carried before him see page 2. all which might suffice to shew that Britain had not received the Christian faith from either Pope or Monke and yet the true Christian faith for we have all the properties of a true Church we have the word of God truely taught and the Sacraments truly administred and prayer put up in the name of Iesus Christ by those that are lawfully called into the Ministery and our people yeelding true obedience to those truths taught and prayd for now although for sin God may remove our Candlestick yet the gates of Hell shall never prevaile to destroy such a Church Mat. 16.18 for God will have glory in the Church by Iesus Christ throughout all ages world without end Eohe 3.21 and Christ will be with his Ministery to the end of the world Mat 28.20 he holds the Stars in his Right hand Rev. 1.16 and what is done to them hee will take as done to himselfe and his Ordinances shall continue for Christ will be with his Ministers teaching and baptizing to the worlds end and the Lords supper shall shew forth the death of Christ till his coming again 1. Cor. 11.26 and both Ministry and Ordinances are placed in the Church for the perfecting of the Saints til they come to a complete man in the knowledg of the Son of God Eph. 4.12.13 which is not attain'd in this world for here we know but in part but then shall we know even as we are knnown 1 Co. 13.12 therefore our Churches are from Iesus Christ and not from Antichrist neither shall they be destroyed Object But since your first receiving the Christian saith England hath put themselves under the yoke of Antichrist for all Christian Kings had given their power to the Beast Rev. 17 12.17 Ans It is true that all these Kings gave their State-power to the Beast but the Churches power was not theirs to give neither did the Church give their power to the Beast for she had alwayes some to witnesse against Antichrist all the time of this Raign Rev. 11.3 yea the Ordinance of Baptisme and Ordination of Ministers the one to solemnize the admittance into the Church and the other into the Ministery was never taken out of the Christian Church no not out of Rrme it self for Antichrist sits in the Temple of God 2. Thes 2.4 so then it is not the want of these Ordinances but the abuse of them that makes Rome Antichrist neither doth the having of these Ordinances make Rome a true Church for Samaria had Circumcision and Rome hath Baptisme yet Samaria was not the Iewish Church no more is Apostate Rome the Christian Church for although their ministers are admitted into the ministry by Ordination and the people into the Christian Church by Baptisme yet they will neither teach the Covenant of grace nor the people yeeld obedience to it the which if they did I suppose their Ministers need no other Ordination into the Ministry nor the people no other Baptisme to admit them into the Christian Church Obj. But you give such names to the materiall places of publique worship as properly belongs to Gods People as the Church the house of God and the Temple which is superstition Ans It is true that Gods people are called the Church but it is as true that the place appointed or set apart for the Worship of God is called the Church for saith Paul When you come together in the Church or have you not houses to eat and drink in or despise yee the Church of God 1. Cor. 11.19.21 .. Secondly this place of publike worship in the Kingdom of Grace is a type of that place of eternall worship called the Church of the first-born Heb. 12.23 Therefore the type may be called the Church as well as the Antitype and Gods people are as lively stones built up into a spirituall house 1. Pet. 2.5 which house are wee Heb. 3.6 but it is as true that the place of Gods worship is called the house of God for saith David they take the houses of God in possession Psa 83.12 Is it time to dwell in your sealed houses and my house lye wast Hag. 1.4 My house saith Christ shall be called a house of Prayer Mat. 21.3 take these things hence and make not my Fathers house a house of Merchandize Iohn 2.16 and when this earthly house of Gods Worship is dissolved we shall have an house not made with hands 1. Cor. 5.1 And Gods people being together in the worship of God grow unto an holy Temple in the Lord Ephe. 2.21 but it is as true that the peace of Gods worship is called the Temple for Peter and Iohn went into the Temple at the hour of prayer being the ninth hour Acts 3 1. The messenger of the Covenant shall come into his Temple Mal. 3.1 This was fulfilled when Christ disputed in the Temple Luke 2.46 and when he drave out the buyers and sellers Iohn 2.15 And when he preached in the Temple Luke 19.47 Iohn 18.20 Again them of all Religions do highly esteem of the place set apart for the Worship of their Gods giving them the like honourable names as Dagons house the house of Baal and the Temple of Diana Acts 19.27 the Idoll Temple and also Churches for saith the town Clerk these men are no robters of Churches nor yet blasphemers of your Gods Acts 19.37 then why should not we say with David Lord I have loved the habitation of thy house and the place where thy Honour dwelleth Psal 26.8 Again what is set apart for holy uses is called holy as holy Sabbath Nehe 9.14 holy Law Rom. 7.12 holy place in Heaven Psal 24.3 and holy place on Earth Exodus 28.43 Mas. 24.15 and holy Temple Ionah 2.4 Yea where God did but manifest his presence holy ground Exo. 3.15 the Tabernacles altars and all the Vessels holy Exod. 40.4.10 and all that administer them and their garments holy Exod. 29.21 and their offerings holy the Paschall Lamb and the Lambe of Consecration holy Exod. 29.34 and the people holy Deut. 7.6 and all these not by infusing the grace of holinesse but onely set apart for holy uses so then every man may not administer those holy things but onely such as are set apart to doe it and secondly we ought to preserve that holinesse of separation of all things so set apart for holy uses Thirdly and this may shew us the horrible sinne of those that cast aspersions either upon the Ministry the Sabbath the Ordinances or place of Gods Worship and chiefly in those that make it a place of gaming and
