A07316	A nevv eight-fold probation of the Church of Englands divine constitution prooved by many pregnant arguments, to be much more complete then any Geneuian in the world against the contrary assertion of the fifty three petitioner-preachers of Scotland in their petition presented in the later Parliament to the Kings most excellent Maiesty. With a ten-folde probation of the same churches doctrine touching one of the most important points of our creede, which is of our sauiours descending into Hell. By Iames Maxvvell.

good_a christian_n which_o shall_v not_o come_v short_a of_o the_o jew_n in_o do_v of_o holy_a duty_n but_o either_o match_n they_o or_o surmount_v they_o have_v beside_o the_o two_o and_o fifty_o sunday_n of_o the_o year_n set_v apart_o to_o the_o perform_n of_o holy_a duty_n about_o thirty_o holy_a day_n more_o in_o honour_n of_o god_n and_o of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n and_o moreover_o they_o have_v in_o diverse_a place_n as_o namely_o in_o cathedral_n church_n frequent_v holy_a assembly_n yea_o daily_a for_o the_o holy_a service_n of_o god_n morning_n and_o evening_n and_o in_o other_o parochial_a church_n they_o have_v holy_a assembly_n for_o god_n service_n on_o wodnesday_n friday_n and_o saturday_n every_o week_n throughout_o the_o year_n and_o beside_o these_o they_o have_v frequent_v holy_a assembly_n on_o other_o day_n of_o the_o week_n upon_o the_o religious_a occasion_n of_o christen_n wedding_n burial_n mind_v day_n and_o lecture_n where_o the_o people_n pray_v and_o praise_n god_n and_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n read_v or_o expound_v in_o a_o sermon_n so_o that_o if_o there_o be_v any_o holiness_n place_v in_o pray_v unto_o god_n and_o in_o praise_v of_o his_o name_n public_o in_o the_o congregation_n a_o thing_n which_o no_o man_n that_o be_v in_o his_o right_a wit_n will_v deny_v or_o if_o holiness_n of_o life_n may_v be_v holpen_v any_o whit_n by_o such_o frequent_a assembly_n and_o sermon_n it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n have_v more_o holiness_n than_o the_o genenian_a because_o she_o have_v many_o more_o of_o such_o holy_a assembly_n for_o service_n and_o sermon_n prayer_n and_o praise_n then_o the_o other_o have_v and_o that_o these_o be_v observe_v in_o the_o primitive_a church_n within_o the_o first_o five_o hundred_o year_n many_o holy_a day_n beside_o the_o sunday_n and_o even_o the_o same_o that_o be_v at_o this_o day_n observe_v in_o england_n we_o shall_v prove_v it_o

philosopher_n historian_n and_o schoolman_n and_o in_o it_o we_o do_v also_o entreat_v of_o the_o holy_a time_n of_o the_o church_n but_o because_o that_o many_o do_v so_o misconceive_v of_o holy_a day_n as_o if_o they_o be_v only_o fit_a for_o the_o pope_n holiness_n and_o for_o hypocrite_n which_o be_v as_o damnable_a and_o devilish_a opinion_n as_o ever_o hell_n hatch_v in_o the_o disgrace_n of_o true_a holiness_n without_o which_o the_o apostle_n say_v 12.14_o heb._n 12.14_o no_o man_n shall_v ever_o see_v god_n therefore_o let_v i_o entreat_v and_o beseech_v my_o countryman_n for_o the_o most_o holy_a god_n sake_n to_o ask_v they_o these_o few_o question_n first_o if_o the_o attain_n of_o holiness_n and_o the_o do_v of_o religious_a duty_n be_v not_o the_o chief_a end_n of_o good_a christian_n in_o this_o life_n which_o i_o hope_v will_v not_o be_v deny_v second_o if_o religious_a assembly_n and_o holy_a meeting_n be_v not_o the_o proper_a mean_n of_o attain_v unto_o true_a holiness_n the_o which_o i_o take_v will_v be_v grant_v three_o if_o the_o frequency_n of_o such_o holy_a assembly_n be_v not_o in_o all_o likelihood_n a_o more_o ready_a and_o easy_a mean_n for_o man_n to_o attain_v unto_o holiness_n and_o to_o do_v religious_a duty_n than_o the_o rarity_n thereof_o in_o a_o word_n which_o of_o the_o two_o be_v most_o likely_a that_o a_o man_n shall_v attain_v unto_o true_a holiness_n by_o repair_v unto_o holy_a assembly_n or_o place_n often_o or_o seldom_o and_o i_o think_v no_o man_n that_o be_v in_o his_o good_a wit_n will_v deny_v but_o that_o often_o repair_v to_o the_o holy_a house_n of_o the_o most_o holy_a god_n for_o the_o do_v of_o holy_a duty_n as_o to_o pray_v unto_o god_n for_o ourselves_o and_o for_o other_o to_o praise_v his_o name_n for_o benefit_n and_o blessing_n spiritual_a and_o temporal_a to_o sing_v psalm_n to_o hear_v god_n word_n and_o the_o sermon_n of_o his_o servant_n and_o the_o like_a be_v a_o more_o direct_a mean_n to_o attain_v unto_o holiness_n than_o seldom_o repair_v as_o namely_o once_o in_o the_o week_n last_o i_o demand_v if_o it_o be_v not_o a_o excellent_a thing_n and_o a_o happy_a condition_n if_o man_n can_v set_v apart_o a_o part_n of_o every_o day_n in_o the_o year_n to_o god_n service_n and_o to_o meet_v together_o in_o the_o holy_a congregation_n for_o the_o perform_n of_o such_o holy_a duty_n and_o if_o the_o necessity_n of_o humane_a life_n will_v not_o let_v we_o have_v the_o leisure_n to_o do_v so_o if_o at_o least_o the_o next_o best_o be_v not_o to_o be_v do_v which_o be_v to_o have_v as_o many_o holy_a day_n as_o possible_o we_o can_v and_o as_o better_v one_o than_o none_o so_o better_a more_o than_o one_o only_o and_o many_o than_o few_o that_o so_o we_o may_v
