our_o god_n oh_o we_o defy_v he_o true_a it_o be_v answer_n man_n say_v they_o defy_v the_o devil_n and_o spit_v at_o he_o but_o alas_o if_o we_o consider_v their_o deal_n we_o shall_v see_v the_o

the_o jew_n and_o of_o the_o papist_n and_o it_o will_v appear_v that_o most_o man_n worship_v the_o devil_n and_o make_v he_o their_o god_n because_o the_o turk_n he_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o true_a god_n the_o jew_n worship_v god_n the_o father_n but_o not_o by_o jesus_n christ_n who_o they_o deny_v the_o papist_n worship_n a_o false_a and_o counterfeit_a christ_n forge_v by_o

that_o it_o may_v appear_v that_o these_o three_o sort_n of_o people_n do_v not_o worship_v the_o true_a god_n but_o even_o the_o devil_n himself_o let_v we_o mark_v these_o 2_o principle_n first_o that_o all_o doctrine_n set_v down_o and_o invent_v by_o man_n concern_v god_n service_n and_o worship_n be_v against_o the_o word_n of_o god_n they_o be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o devil_n so_o say_v paul_n 1_o tim._n 4._o 1._o 3._o that_o there_o shall_v come_v false_a teacher_n which_o shall_v teach_v doctrine_n of_o devil_n and_o what_o be_v these_o vers._n 3._o he_o say_v such_o as_o forbid_v to_o marry_v and_o teach_v man_n that_o some_o meat_n be_v holy_a in_o themselves_o &_o some_o unholy_a and_o not_o lawful_a to_o be_v eat_v the_o second_o principle_n be_v this_o all_o worship_n of_o god_n devise_v by_o man_n be_v against_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o devil_n so_o the_o gentile_n offer_v to_o idol_n paul_n say_v they_o offer_v to_o devil_n 22_o yet_o none_o of_o they_o intend_v that_o but_o rather_o by_o the_o idol_n offer_v to_o god_n so_o whatsoever_o worship_n shall_v be_v invent_v be_v against_o the_o word_n of_o god_n it_o be_v indeed_o the_o worship_n of_o the_o devil_n not_o of_o god_n now_o by_o these_o two_o principle_n it_o appear_v that_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n perform_v by_o the_o turk_n and_o by_o the_o jew_n it_o be_v no_o worship_n of_o god_n but_o the_o worship_n of_o devil_n see_v both_o of_o they_o worship_n the_o father_n out_o of_o the_o son_n and_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n in_o popery_n it_o be_v no_o better_a than_o the_o worship_n of_o the_o devil_n see_v they_o worship_v god_n out_o of_o the_o true_a christ_n and_o have_v forge_v to_o themselves_o a_o false_a counterfeit_a christ._n and_o if_o paul_n may_v true_o affirm_v of_o the_o gentile_n that_o they_o worship_v not_o the_o true_a god_n but_o offer_v to_o devil_n then_o mnch_v more_o may_v it_o be_v avouch_v of_o that_o abominable_a sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n that_o it_o be_v indeed_o the_o worship_n of_o the_o devil_n see_v it_o be_v more_o vile_a idolatry_n then_o that_o of_o the_o gentile_n now_o it_o will_v be_v say_v objection_n though_o the_o devil_n prevail_v thus_o with_o they_o yet_o he_o can_v prevail_v so_o with_o protestant_n neither_o can_v they_o be_v say_v to_o worship_v the_o devil_n answer_n i_o answer_v that_o in_o truth_n there_o be_v thousand_o of_o protestant_n in_o the_o world_n who_o do_v worship_v the_o devil_n for_o all_o those_o which_o do_v only_o in_o outward_a show_n profess_v true_a religion_n but_o in_o heart_n love_v the_o world_n set_v their_o heart_n upon_o pleasure_n profit_n and_o preferment_n such_o professor_n do_v in_o truth_n make_v the_o devil_n their_o god_n and_o may_v be_v say_v to_o worship_v the_o devil_n for_o to_o who_o soever_o they_o give_v their_o heart_n to_o they_o they_o do_v give_v worship_n but_o while_o they_o set_v their_o heart_n on_o these_o thing_n they_o do_v not_o love_n god_n neither_o do_v they_o believe_v in_o god_n and_o rest_n upon_o he_o as_o their_o god_n and_o therefore_o they_o make_v the_o world_n their_o god_n and_o so_o worship_v the_o devil_n four_o by_o this_o practice_n of_o the_o devil_n we_o see_v those_o man_n confute_v who_o think_v that_o the_o devil_n can_v make_v a_o league_n with_o man_n as_o with_o

for_o so_o great_a gain_n he_o will_v have_v the_o devil_n his_o service_n then_o say_v jesus_n unto_o he_o 10._o avoid_v satan_n etc._n etc._n now_o follow_v the_o answer_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ._n and_o first_o in_o christ_n answer_n mark_v in_o propound_v of_o it_o he_o use_v first_o a_o speech_n of_o indignation_n and_o of_o defiance_n to_o the_o devil_n and_o his_o offer_n avoid_v

long_o get_v thou_o hence_o satan_n i_o will_v not_o vouchsafe_v to_o answer_v to_o thy_o temptation_n any_o more_o mark_v here_o in_o the_o answer_n of_o christ_n that_o he_o be_v content_a to_o endure_v the_o devil_n temptation_n and_o reproach_n which_o concern_v his_o own_o person_n but_o when_o he_o be_v so_o bold_a to_o blaspheme_v god_n his_o father_n he_o can_v endure_v he_o no_o

endure_v it_o but_o have_v indignation_n &_o great_a dislike_n of_o it_o and_o if_o we_o hear_v black-mouthed_a rabshekah_n blaspheme_v the_o holy_a name_n of_o god_n by_o swear_v curse_a ban_a we_o must_v be_v touch_v with_o grief_n to_o hear_v the_o glorious_a name_n of_o our_o god_n dishonour_v and_o if_o time_n and_o place_n require_v manifest_v our_o dislike_n in_o open_a reprehension_n of_o it_o when_o ahab_n and_o jezabel_n be_v both_o wicked_a hear_v that_o naboth_n have_v blaspheme_v god_n they_o rend_v their_o clothes_n in_o token_n of_o sorrow_n so_o when_o hezechiah_n hear_v the_o

though_o it_o hao_v many_o corruption_n in_o it_o 1_o yet_o our_o saviour_n christ_n call_v it_o holy_a and_o it_o be_v a_o true_a church_n of_o god_n then_o hence_o i_o conclude_v that_o the_o

of_o god_n in_o england_n be_v proprotionable_a to_o the_o church_n at_o jerusalem_fw-la for_o as_o they_o have_v moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n read_v and_o expound_v so_o have_v we_o nay_o we_o

therefore_o separate_v themselves_o or_o refuse_v to_o join_v with_o they_o in_o the_o service_n of_o god_n because_o of_o the_o corruption_n in_o this_o church_n at_o jerusalem_n but_o do_v teach_v

some_o few_o corruption_n that_o remain_v in_o it_o nay_o such_o as_o for_o these_o do_v separate_v themselves_o from_o god_n people_n do_v cut_v themselves_o from_o christ_n himself_o see_v they_o sever_v themselves_o from_o the_o church_n of_o god_n if_o any_o shall_v say_v that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v the_o true_a church_n of_o god_n as_o well_o as_o the_o church_n of_o jerusalem_n see_v the_o romish_a church_n have_v as_o many_o privilege_n as_o the_o church_n at_o jerusalem_n i_o answer_v by_o examine_v the_o particular_n it_o will_v appear_v to_o the_o contrary_n church_n as_o first_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n brag_v that_o she_o have_v her_o succession_n from_o the_o apostle_n but_o i_o answer_v succession_n from_o person_n without_o succession_n in_o the_o apostle_n doctrine_n can_v be_v no_o true_a note_n of_o the_o church_n second_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n yet_o that_o prove_v heâ—_n not_o the_o true_a church_n for_o in_o samaria_n they_o have_v the_o sacrament_n of_o circumcision_n and_o so_o in_o other_o place_n and_o yet_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v that_o they_o be_v the_o true_a church_n of_o god_n beside_o i_o answer_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v baptism_n no_o otherwise_o then_o a_o thief_n have_v a_o true_a man_n purse_n now_o it_o can_v be_v say_v that_o a_o thief_n be_v therefore_o a_o true_a man_n because_o he_o have_v a_o true_a man_n purse_n last_o though_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v the_o outward_a baptism_n yet_o she_o in_o doctrine_n overturn_v the_o inward_a baptism_n namely_o the_o true_a impute_a justification_n and_o inherent_a sanctification_n of_o christ_n by_o the_o spirit_n 3_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n hold_v the_o apostle_n creed_n but_o it_o be_v only_o in_o word_n for_o the_o truth_n be_v their_o god_n who_o they_o worship_v be_v a_o idol_n and_o their_o christ_n be_v a_o false_a &_o counterfeit_a christ_n forge_v by_o their_o own_o brain_n as_o may_v appear_v to_o all_o that_o will_v search_v their_o doctrine_n 4_o she_o say_v that_o they_o hold_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o write_n of_o the_o apostle_n but_o it_o will_v appear_v in_o their_o write_n that_o they_o hold_v it_o but_o in_o show_n not_o in_o truth_n for_o in_o the_o main_a ground_n of_o religion_n they_o overturn_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o prophet_n &_o

that_o the_o devil_n tempt_v our_o saviour_n christ_n in_o the_o holy_a city_n we_o learn_v that_o there_o be_v no_o place_n so_o holy_a but_o the_o devil_n can_v broach_v his_o temptation_n in_o it_o
