which_o one_o possess_v with_o the_o present_a view_v that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v of_o this_o matter_n must_v needs_o have_v give_v v._o there_o be_v some_o thing_n very_o express_o

the_o sacrifice_n that_o christ_n offer_v for_o we_o on_o the_o cross_n and_o the_o worship_v he_o as_o god_n the_o death_n resurrection_n and_o ascension_n of_o jesus_n christ_n the_o resurrection_n of_o our_o body_n and_o life_n everlasting_a by_o which_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o we_o be_v set_v beyond_o doubt_n in_o those_o matter_n if_o then_o there_o be_v other_o passage_n more_o obscure_a concern_v other_o matter_n we_o must_v conclude_v that_o these_o be_v not_o of_o that_o consequence_n otherwise_o they_o will_v have_v be_v as_o plain_o reveal_v as_o the_o other_o be_v but_o above_o all_o if_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n be_v deliver_v to_o we_o in_o disputable_a term_n that_o be_v a_o just_a prejudice_n against_o it_o since_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n of_o such_o

judge_v concern_v religion_n which_o must_v be_v still_o refer_v to_o the_o priest_n &_o other_o guide_n in_o sacred_a matter_n this_o be_v a_o good_a argument_n to_o oblige_v all_o nation_n to_o continue_v in_o the_o establish_v religion_n whatever_o it_o may_v happen_v to_o be_v and_o above_o all_o other_o it_o be_v a_o convince_a argument_n in_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o jew_n against_o our_o saviour_n he_o pretend_v to_o be_v the_o messiah_n and_o prove_v it_o both_o by_o the_o prophecy_n that_o be_v accomplish_v in_o he_o and_o by_o the_o miracle_n that_o he_o wrought_v as_o for_o the_o prophecy_n the_o reason_n urge_v by_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n will_v conclude_v much_o strong_a that_o such_o dark_a passage_n as_o those_o of_o the_o prophet_n be_v ought_v not_o to_o be_v interpret_v by_o particular_a person_n but_o that_o the_o exposition_n of_o these_o must_v be_v refer_v to_o the_o priest_n and_o sanhedrin_n it_o be_v express_o provide_v in_o their_o law_n deut._n 17.8_o that_o when_o controversy_n arise_v concern_v any_o cause_n that_o be_v too_o intricate_a they_o be_v to_o go_v to_o the_o place_n which_o god_n shall_v choose_v and_o to_o the_o priest_n of_o the_o tribe_n of_o levi_n &_o to_o the_o judge_n in_o those_o day_n &_o that_o they_o be_v to_o declare_v what_o be_v right_a &_o to_o their_o decision_n all_o be_v oblige_v to_o submit_v under_o pain_n of_o death_n so_o that_o by_o this_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o priest_n in_o the_o jewish_a religion_n be_v authorise_v in_o so_o extraordinary_a a_o manner_n that_o i_o dare_v say_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n will_v not_o wish_v for_o a_o more_o formal_a testimony_n on_o her_o behalf_n as_o for_o our_o saviour_n miracle_n these_o be_v not_o sufficient_a neither_o unless_o his_o doctrine_n be_v first_o find_v to_o be_v good_a since_o moses_n have_v express_o warn_v the_o people_n deut._n 13.1_o that_o if_o a_o prophet_n come_v and_o teach_v they_o to_o follow_v after_o other_o god_n they_o be_v not_o to_o obey_v he_o though_o he_o wrought_v miracle_n to_o prove_v his_o mission_n but_o be_v to_o put_v he_o to_o death_n so_o a_o jew_n say_v that_o christ_n by_o make_v himself_o one_o with_o his_o father_n bring_v in_o the_o wors●hip_n of_o another_o god_n may_v well_o pretend_v that_o he_o be_v not_o oblige_v to_o yield_v to_o the_o authority_n of_o our_o saviour_n miracle_n without_o take_v cognisance_n of_o his_o doctrine_n and_o of_o the_o prophecy_n concern_v the_o messiah_n and_o in_o a_o word_n of_o the_o whole_a matter_n so_o that_o if_o these_o reason_n be_v now_o good_a against_o the_o reformation_n they_o be_v as_o strong_a in_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o jew_n against_o our_o saviour_n and_o from_o hence_o we_o see_v that_o the_o authority_n that_o seem_v to_o be_v give_v by_o moses_n to_o the_o priest_n must_v be_v understand_v with_o some_o restriction_n since_o we_o not_o only_o find_v the_o prophet_n and_o jeremy_n in_o particular_a oppose_v themselves_o to_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o they_o but_o we_o see_v likewise_o that_o for_o some_o considerable_a time_n before_o our_o saviour_n day_n not_o only_o many_o ill-grounded_a tradition_n have_v get_v in_o among_o they_o by_o which_o the_o vigour_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n be_v much_o enervate_v but_o likewise_o they_o be_v also_o universal_o possess_v with_o a_o false_a notion_n of_o their_o messiah_n so_o that_o even_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o have_v not_o quite_o shake_v off_o those_o prejudices_fw-la at_o the_o time_n of_o our_o saviour_n ascension_n so_o that_o here_o a_o church_n that_o be_v still_o the_o church_n of_o god_n that_o have_v the_o appoint_a mean_n of_o the_o expiation_n of_o their_o sin_n by_o their_o sacrifice_n and_o wash_n as_o well_o as_o by_o their_o circumcision_n be_v yet_o under_o great_a and_o fatal_a error_n from_o which_o particular_a person_n have_v no_o way_n to_o extricate_v themselves_o but_o by_o examine_v the_o doctrine_n and_o text_n of_o scripture_n and_o by_o judge_v of_o they_o according_a to_o the_o evidence_n of_o truth_n and_o the_o force_n &_o freedom_n of_o their_o faculty_n vii_o it_o seem_v evident_a that_o the_o passage_n tell_v the_o church_n belong_v only_o to_o the_o reconcile_n of_o difference_n ●hat_n of_o bind_v &_o of_o loose_v according_o to_o the_o use_n of_o those_o term_n among_o the_o jew_n signify_v only_o a_o authority_n that_o be_v give_v to_o the_o apostle_n of_o give_v precept_n by_o which_o man_n be_v to_o be_v oblige_v to_o such_o duty_n or_o set_v at_o liberty_n from_o they_o and_o the_o gate_n of_o hell_n not_o prevail_v against_o the_o church_n signifys_o only_o that_o the_o christian_a religion_n be_v never_o to_o come_v to_o a_o end_n or_o to_o perish_v &_o that_o of_o christ_n be_v with_o the_o apostle_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n import_v only_o a_o special_a conduct_n &_o protection_n which_o the_o church_n may_v always_o expect_v but_o as_o the_o promise_n i_o will_v not_o leave_v thou_o nor_o forsake_v thou_o that_o belong_v to_o every_o christian_a do_v not_o import_v a_o infallibility_n no_o more_o do_v the_o other_o and_o for_o those_o passage_n concern_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n that_o search_v all_o thing_n it_o be_v plain_a that_o in_o they_o st._n paul_n be_v treat_v of_o the_o divine_a inspiration_n by_o which_o the_o christian_a religion_n be_v then_o open_v to_o the_o world_n which_o he_o set_v in_o opposition_n to_o the_o wisdom_n or_o philosophy_n of_o the_o greek_n so_o that_o as_o all_o those_o passage_n come_v far_o short_a of_o prove_v that_o for_o which_o they_o be_v allege_v it_o must_v at_o least_o be_v acknowledge_v that_o they_o have_v not_o a_o evidence_n great_a enough_o to_o prove_v so_o important_a a_o truth_n as_o some_o will_v evince_v by_o they_o since_o it_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o such_o vast_a consequence_n that_o the_o proof_n for_o it_o must_v have_v a_o undeniable_a evidence_n viii_o in_o the_o matter_n of_o religion_n two_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v consider_v first_o the_o account_n that_o we_o must_v give_v to_o god_n and_o the_o reward_n that_o we_o expect_v from_o he_o and_o in_o this_o every_o man_n must_v answer_v for_o the_o sincerity_n of_o his_o heart_n in_o examine_v divine_a matter_n and_o the_o follow_v what_o upon_o the_o best_a inquiry_n that_o one_o can_v make_v appear_v to_o be_v true_a and_o with_o relation_n to_o this_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o a_o judge_n for_o in_o that_o great_a day_n every_o one_o must_v answer_v to_o god_n according_a to_o the_o talent_n thar_z he_o have_v and_o all_o will_v be_v save_v according_a to_o their_o sincerity_n and_o with_o relation_n to_o that_o judgement_n there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o any_o other_o judge_n but_o god._n a_o second_o view_n of_o religion_n be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o body_n unite_v together_o &_o by_o consequence_n bring_v under_o some_o regulation_n and_o as_o in_o all_o state_n there_o be_v subaltern_a judge_n in_o who_o decision_n all_o must_v at_o least_o acquiesce_v though_o they_o be_v not_o infallible_a there_o be_v still_o a_o sort_n of_o a_o appeal_n to_o be_v make_v to_o the_o sovereign_a or_o the_o supreme_a legsliative_a body_n so_o the_o church_n have_v a_o subaltern_a jurisdiction_n but_o as_o the_o authority_n of_o inferior_a judge_n be_v still_o regulate_v and_o none_o but_o the_o legislator_n themselves_o have_v a_o authority_n equal_a to_o the_o law_n
