of_o antichrist_n can_v not_o be_v find_v among_o the_o worst_a of_o our_o minister_n for_o neither_o do_v the_o law_n of_o our_o church_n allow_v any_o to_o teach_v false_a doctrine_n and_o we_o

off_o any_o off_o that_o antichrist_n power_n office_n and_o calling_n because_o in_o so_o do_v they_o can_v but_o have_v fellowship_n in_o that_o apostasy_n opposition_n and_o exaltation_n off_o

in_o untruth_n and_o unrighteousness_n even_o in_o antichrist_n transgression_n off_o the_o law_n and_o ordinance_n off_o jesus_n christ._n but_o the_o former_a be_v true_a as_o may_v appear_v by_o

wherein_o to_o teach_v and_o reign_v over_o the_o people_n ●educed_v by_o he_o which_o yet_o they_o beleve_v lie_n shall_v count_v to_o be_v lawful_a as_o they_o do_v even_o unto_o this_o day_n but_o to_o let_v other_o reason_n alone_o and_o to_o take_v the_o mark_n of_o antichrist_n which_o mr._n h._n have_v himself_o here_o set_v down_o i_o will_v ask_v first_o how_o antichrist_n shall_v teach_v his_o false_a doctrine_n which_o here_o mr._n h._n note_v to_o be_v one_o mark_n whether_o in_o the_o
lawful_a office_n and_o calling_n ordain_v by_o christ_n or_o in_o the_o unlawful_a office_n and_o calling_n devise_v by_o satan_n and_o use_v by_o this_o man_n of_o sin_n in_o his_o apostasy_n second_o how_o he_o shall_v usurp_v that_o authority_n to_o give_v law_n unto_o man_n conscience_n and_o to_o rule_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n as_o god_n which_o mr._n h._n note_v as_o the●_n other_o mark_n whether_o in_o the_o true_a office_n and_o calling_n appoint_v by_o christ_n or_o in_o false_a one_o devise_v by_o satan_n and_o himself_o for_o the_o very_a term_n and_o action_n of_o teach_v and_o of_o usurp_a authority_n here_o mention_v by_o mr._n h._n do_v in_o this_o case_n imply_v some_o office_n and_o calling_n lawful_a or_o unlawful_a wherein_o to_o teach_v and_o usurp_v authority_n now_o lawful_a they_o can_v not_o be_v because_o he_o stand_v in_o apostasy_n from_o christ_n way_n yea_o oppositt_v against_o it_o and_o even_o lawless_a in_o that_o respect_n it_o remain_v therefore_o that_o they_o be_v unlawful_a one_o and_o be_v find_v not_o one_o lyin_n the_o papacy_n but_o in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n it_o follow_v that_o they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v receyve_v or_o join_v unto_o in_o the_o one_o any_o more_o than_o in_o the_o other_o as_o also_o that_o this_o scripture_n be_v not_o wre_v but_o fit_o and_o fond_o allege_v for_o the_o proof_n of_o the_o first_o part_n of_o the_o reason_n but_o because_o mr._n h._n take_v exception_n at_o the_o proof_n though_o all_o in_o vain_a yet_o for_o his_o better_a satisfaction_n and_o more_o strenghtning_n of_o the_o proposition_n let_v he_o further_o consider_v first_o that_o as_o christ_n be_v king_n and_o lord_n of_o his_o church_n have_v give_v unto_o it_o the_o holy_a thing_n of_o his_o word_n sacrament_n censure_n treasury_n etc_n so_o he_o have_v also_o as_o 15._o lord_n and_o king_n appoint_v office_n of_o his_o own_o to_o conti●●e_v to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n to_o wit_n pastor_n teacher_n elder_n deacon_n and_o helper_n for_o the_o due_a administration_n of_o these_o his_o holy_a thing_n according_a to_o his_o word_n be_v lawful_o call_v thereunto_o so_o as_o neither_o any_o may_v meddle_v therewith_o by_o virtue_n of_o any_o antichristian_a power_n office_n or_o calling_n nor_o if_o they_o do_v may_v any_o join_v with_o they_o therein_o least_o partake_v in_o their_o sin_n they_o receyv_v also_o of_o their_o plague_n second_o that_o 10._o our_o conscience_n be_v the_o temple_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n wherrupon_o it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o we_o may_v not_o suffer_v antichrist_n to_o fit_a in_o they_o at_o all_o as_o he_o do_v whensoever_o we_o suffer_v they_o to_o be_v wrought_v upon_o in_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n or_o any_o other_o way_n by_o virtue_n of_o any_o antichristian_a power_n office_n or_o call_n and_o this_o i_o think_v to_o annexe_v for_o the_o further_a confirmation_n of_o the_o first_o part_n of_o the_o reason_n which_o though_o in_o word_n mr._n h._n seem_v to_o grant_v yet_o in_o deed_n he_o labour_v to_o oppugn_v now_o where_o he_o say_v the_o law_n of_o their_o church_n allow_v not_o any_o to_o teach_v false_a doctrine_n although_o this_o be_v not_o much_o material_a towch_v the_o point_n in_o controversy_n see_v they_o allow_v not_o any_o to_o teach_v true_a doctrine_n but_o in_o false_a and_o antichristian_a calling_n which_o be_v utter_o unlawful_a to_o be_v do_v yet_o we_o find_v that_o by_o the_o law_n of_o their_o church_n many_o false_a doctrine_n be_v and_o may_v be_v tauht_o
