sink_n and_o be_v loose_v for_o their_o efficacy_n for_o a_o time_n answ_n from_o what_o you_o say_v here_o i_o understand_v you_o do_v believe_v or_o at_o least_o admit_v of_o it_o that_o the_o

star_n fall_v from_o heaven_n to_o earth_n that_o have_v the_o key_n of_o the_o bottomless_a pit_n viz._n a_o evil_a angel_n or_o minister_n as_o i_o understand_v you_o which_o have_v usurp_v all_o

the_o key_n be_v the_o same_o with_o the_o church_n answ_n the_o particular_n considerable_a be_v these_o as_o first_o there_o be_v a_o angel_n that_o have_v usurp_v all_o church_n power_n into_o his_o custody_n say_v you_o to_o which_o i_o say_v i_o think_v its_o very_a strange_a that_o a_o angel_n shall_v usurp_v all_o church_n power_n into_o his_o custody_n sure_o it_o be_v not_o while_o he_o be_v in_o heaven_n nay_o but_o i_o remember_v it_o be_v after_o he_o be_v fall_v to_o earth_n and_o than_o it_o be_v not_o the_o key_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n viz._n the_o power_n of_o the_o true_a church_n corrupt_v but_o it_o be_v another_o key_n viz._n another_o power_n ever_o the_o key_n and_o power_n of_o darkness_n and_o indeed_o it_o can_v be_v rational_o imagine_v as_o i_o think_v that_o a_o angel_n that_o be_v to_o say_v or_o minister_n shall_v carry_v all_o the_o power_n and_o authority_n away_o of_o all_o the_o seven_o church_n of_o asia_n which_o have_v seven_o angel_n belong_v unto_o they_o and_o not_o only_o those_o seven_o church_n but_o also_o many_o other_o church_n that_o be_v then_o extant_a upon_o earth_n so_o than_o if_o the_o angel_n receive_v his_o key_n after_o his_o fall_n the_o which_o he_o do_v read_v revel_v 9.1_o 2_o 3_o 4._o then_o it_o can_v not_o be_v the_o key_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n corrupt_v but_o another_o key_n give_v to_o he_o namely_o the_o key_n of_o the_o bottemless_a pit_n and_o what_o proof_n be_v this_o to_o prove_v that_o all_o church_n power_n be_v lose_v when_o a_o angel_n viz._n or_o minister_n fall_v away_o from_o heavenly_a mindedness_n to_o earthly_a mindedness_n let_v the_o rational_a reader_n judge_n second_o that_o the_o key_n speak_v of_o mat._n 16.18_o be_v to_o remain_v in_o the_o church_n hand_n for_o ever_o be_v very_o plain_o prove_v in_o the_o scripture_n as_o first_o from_o the_o word_n of_o our_o bless_a saviour_n own_o mouth_n mat._n 18.18_o 19_o 20._o in_o these_o word_n very_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o that_o whatsoever_o you_o viz._n the_o church_n shall_v blind_v on_o earth_n shall_v be_v bind_v in_o heaven_n and_o whatsoever_o you_o shall_v loose_v on_o earth_n shall_v be_v loose_v in_o heaven_n from_o these_o word_n we_o may_v see_v that_o christ_n have_v give_v his_o church_n power_n to_o deal_v with_o offender_n and_o to_o bind_v they_o that_o be_v to_o exclude_v they_o from_o that_o communion_n of_o saint_n and_o that_o it_o be_v to_o be_v perpetuate_v be_v plain_a because_o it_o be_v annex_v to_o vers_n 20._o which_o be_v perpetuate_v as_o be_v most_o evident_a thus_o we_o may_v see_v in_o the_o first_o place_n that_o christ_n do_v once_o give_v his_o church_n his_o power_n and_o never_o take_v it_o away_o again_o from_o they_o and_o the_o power_n and_o strength_n of_o hell_n can_v do_v it_o for_o the_o gate_n of_o hell_n shall_v not_o prevail_v against_o it_o and_o sure_o the_o fall_n of_o one_o star_n from_o heaven_n to_o earth_n namely_o the_o fall_n of_o one_o minister_n can_v not_o dispossess_v the_o whole_a body_n of_o christ_n namely_o his_o church_n in_o all_o place_n consist_v of_o many_o particular_a church_n and_o star_n or_o minister_n of_o all_o their_o power_n that_o christ_n give_v unto_o his_o body_n the_o church_n it_o be_v further_o consider_v that_o the_o gate_n of_o hell_n be_v not_o to_o prevail_v against_o it_o take_v this_o comparison_n suppose_v the_o constable_n of_o benenden_n shall_v lose_v his_o power_n as_o a_o officer_n by_o reason_n of_o his_o rebellion_n do_v it_o therefore_o follow_v that_o all_o the_o constable_n in_o the_o seven_o hundred_o or_o in_o that_o division_n have_v lose_v their_o power_n who_o have_v not_o rebel_v and_o the_o several_a parish_n thereby_o lose_v their_o power_n so_o as_o they_o can_v execute_v the_o law_n upon_o offender_n which_o if_o so_o it_o be_v a_o paradox_n unto_o i_o even_o so_o if_o one_o minister_n of_o the_o church_n or_o one_o minister_n and_o church_n shall_v fall_v away_o and_o so_o lose_v their_o true_a power_n and_o in_o the_o room_n thereof_o take_v up_o the_o power_n of_o darkness_n do_v it_o therefore_o follow_v that_o all_o the_o other_o church_n and_o minister_n which_o do_v not_o fall_v shall_v lose_v their_o power_n also_o sure_o no_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n to_o be_v give_v to_o prove_v it_o but_o we_o find_v there_o be_v but_o one_o star_n in_o the_o singular_a number_n and_o not_o star_n in_o the_o plural_a number_n that_o fall_v and_o therefore_o to_o say_v because_o one_o minister_n fall_v and_o lose_v his_o place_n and_o true_a power_n therefore_o there_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o sink_n of_o all_o minister_n and_o power_n be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o i_o shall_v say_v that_o because_o judas_n fall_v and_o lose_v his_o power_n and_o apostle-ship_n therefore_o there_o be_v no_o apostle-ship_n nor_o power_n upon_o earth_n which_o to_o say_v will_v be_v ridiculous_a and_o yet_o there_o be_v as_o good_a reason_n for_o the_o one_o as_o for_o the_o other_o but_o indeed_o no_o reason_n at_o all_o for_o neither_o so_o than_o the_o sum_n of_o what_o can_v be_v say_v from_o revel_v 9.1_o 2_o 3._o be_v that_o there_o be_v a_o star_n that_o fall_v from_o heaven_n to_o earth_n and_o work_v wickedness_n that_o be_v one_o minister_n fall_v from_o heaven_n that_o be_v to_o say_v from_o the_o heavenly_a church_n state_n to_o a_o earthly_a church_n state_n from_o the_o oracle_n of_o god_n to_o the_o tradition_n of_o man_n and_o so_o it_o may_v be_v and_o be_v that_o one_o minister_n among_o many_o may_v fall_v and_o yet_o the_o rest_n stand_v fast_o as_o it_o be_v with_o many_o in_o the_o primitive_a age_n and_o this_o be_v all_o which_o can_v be_v say_v from_o revelation_n 9_o and_o second_o that_o church_n power_n be_v perpetuate_v and_o to_o remain_v after_o these_o apostle_n death_n among_o the_o church_n be_v plain_a because_o the_o successive_a minister_n and_o church_n be_v to_o use_v the_o same_o practice_n of_o receive_v and_o reject_v as_o we_o may_v read_v tit._n 3.10_o 2_o tim._n 4.2_o 2_o thes_n 3.14_o and_o your_o own_o principle_n

judge_v be_v your_o duty_n to_o do_v namely_o observe_v and_o keep_v the_o lord_n supper_n it_o must_v also_o of_o necessity_n be_v your_o own_o practice_n for_o suppose_v that_o one_o of_o your_o communicate_v that_o appear_v to_o be_v a_o civil_a honest_a religious_a man_n but_o last_o lord_n day_n and_o one_o which_o you_o much_o delight_v in_o but_o peradventure_o before_o the_o next_o

and_o possess_v the_o kingdom_n together_o and_o reign_v under_o heaven_n and_o if_o it_o be_v under_o heaven_n than_o it_o do_v necessary_o follow_v that_o it_o will_v be_v upon_o earth_n and_o this_o text_n agree_v with_o that_o which_o be_v speak_v by_o dan._n 2.34_o 44._o in_o these_o word_n thou_o see_v till_o a_o stone_n be_v cut_v out_o without_o hand_n which_o smite_v the_o image_n upon_o his_o foot_n that_o be_v of_o iron_n and_o clay_n and_o break_v they_o in_o piece_n and_o in_o the_o day_n of_o these_o king_n shall_v the_o god_n of_o heaven_n set_v up_o a_o kingdom_n which_o shall_v never_o be_v destroy_v and_o the_o kingdom_n shall_v not_o be_v leave_v unto_o another_o people_n but_o it_o shall_v break_v in_o piece_n and_o consume_v all_o these_o kingdom_n and_o shall_v

may_v see_v that_o the_o kingdom_n that_o daniel_n speak_v of_o be_v to_o be_v upon_o earth_n because_o he_o say_v it_o be_v to_o fill_v the_o whole_a earth_n so_o then_o christ_n and_o the_o saint_n be_v to_o receive_v a_o kingdom_n and_o to_o reign_v upon_o earth_n reas_n 2._o second_o the_o second_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o christ_n and_o the_o saint_n shall_v receive_v a_o kingdom_n and_o reign_n upon_o earth_n be_v because_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o christ_n and_o the_o saint_n shall_v rule_v the_o nation_n with_o a_o rod_n of_o iron_n and_o bruise_v they_o like_o a_o potter_n vessel_n the_o which_o can_v be_v unless_o christ_n and_o the_o saint_n receive_v a_o kingdom_n and_o reign_n upon_o earth_n for_o if_o the_o receive_a opinion_n be_v true_a that_o all_o shall_v arise_v together_o at_o the_o last_o day_n and_o at_o a_o moment_n or_o in_o a_o short_a time_n one_o go_v to_o heaven_n and_o the_o other_o to_o hell_n how_o then_o can_v christ_n and_o the_o saint_n then_o rule_v the_o nation_n with_o a_o rod_n of_o iron_n and_o bruise_v they_o like_o a_o potter_n vessel_n for_o so_o long_o as_o the_o saint_n live_v in_o this_o world_n they_o must_v expect_v to_o suffer_v for_o christ_n and_o the_o gospel_n sake_n as_o say_v saint_n paul_n and_o daniel_n and_o indeed_o many_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n that_o through_o many_o tribulation_n we_o shall_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n yea_o every_o one_o that_o will_v live_v godly_a in_o christ_n jesus_n shall_v suffer_v persecution_n and_o as_o daniel_n say_v the_o same_o horn_n viz._n antichrist_n make_v war_n with_o the_o saint_n and_o overcome_v they_o until_o the_o judgement_n be_v set_v and_o the_o time_n come_v that_o the_o saint_n be_v to_o possess_v the_o kingdom_n dan._n 7.21_o 25._o act_n 14.22_o 2_o tim._n 3.12_o and_o indeed_o the_o nigh_a to_o the_o end_n there_o shall_v be_v bate_v one_o another_o and_o betray_v one_o another_o and_o the_o people_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v hate_v of_o all_o man_n for_o christ_n name_n sake_n and_o as_o christ_n say_v in_o this_o world_n you_o shall_v have_v tribulation_n for_o if_o they_o have_v persecute_v i_o they_o will_v also_o persecute_v you_o and_o this_o be_v the_o portion_n of_o the_o primitive_a saint_n and_o will_v be_v the_o portion_n of_o the_o l●st_v also_o therefore_o in_o this_o corrupt_a body_n they_o do_v not_o reign_v but_o the_o wicked_a rule_v they_o with_o rigour_n but_o there_o be_v a_o time_n that_o christ_n and_o the_o saint_n shall_v reign_v over_o they_o and_o rule_v they_o with_o a_o rod_n of_o iron_n and_o bruise_v they_o like_o a_o potter_n vessel_n which_o show_v that_o christ_n and_o the_o saint_n be_v to_o receive_v a_o kingdom_n and_o reign_v upon_o earth_n now_o that_o they_o be_v to_o rule_v all_o nation_n read_v psal_n 2.8_o 9_o compare_v with_o rev._n 2.26_o 27._o in_o psal_n 2._o the_o word_n be_v these_o thou_o be_v my_o son_n this_o day_n have_v i_o beget_v

with_o a_o rod_n of_o iron_n and_o than_o shall_v dash_v they_o in_o piece_n like_o a_o potter_n vessel_n thus_o you_o see_v the_o honour_n and_o dignity_n that_o god_n have_v give_v to_o his_o son_n namely_o to_o rule_v the_o nation_n with_o a_o rod_n of_o iron_n and_o this_o very_a honour_n have_v christ_n give_v to_o the_o saint_n as_o you_o may_v read_v rev._n 2.26_o 27._o in_o these_o word_n

to_o pass_v these_o thing_n i_o shall_v give_v a_o argument_n to_o prove_v the_o continuation_n of_o receive_v and_o reject_v bind_v and_o lose_v which_o be_v if_o there_o be_v such_o a_o

as_o frequent_o see_v that_o there_o be_v apostate_n in_o our_o day_n as_o in_o the_o primitive_a age_n and_o in_o short_a take_v this_o maxim_n that_o take_v either_o a_o commonwealth_n without_o

so_o than_o the_o sum_n of_o all_o be_v this_o in_o short_a that_o if_o the_o ordinance_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v perpetuate_v and_o to_o ramain_v in_o the_o great_a time_n of_o apostasy_n than_o the_o power_n of_o the_o church_n also_o do_v remain_v because_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o person_n to_o eat_v the_o lord_n supper_n so_o as_o for_o god_n to_o approve_v of_o it_o if_o the_o church_n have_v not_o power_n to_o exclude_v offender_n because_o with_o such_o the_o church_n may_v not_o eat_v nor_o have_v no_o fellowship_n in_o spiritual_a thing_n 2_o cor._n 6._o and_o that_o

namely_o of_o receive_v in_o or_o cast_v out_o although_o one_o star_n fall_v from_o heaven_n to_o earth_n revel_v 9_o yet_o he_o carry_v not_o away_o the_o heavenly_a key_n or_o power_n no_o more_o

these_o and_o many_o more_o scripture_n that_o may_v be_v add_v we_o may_v see_v that_o the_o candlestick_n with_o the_o lamp_n and_o pipe_n viz._n the_o minister_a vessel_n unto_o the_o lamp_n and_o candelstick_a be_v the_o same_o that_o god_n show_v unto_o moses_n in_o the_o pattern_n and_o appoint_v it_o to_o remain_v in_o the_o temple_n and_o after_o that_o pattern_n it_o be_v make_v in_o

haggai_n who_o speak_v of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n he_o will_v tell_v we_o that_o zerubbabel_n and_o joshua_n according_a to_o zechariahs_n word_n that_o he_o shall_v lay_v the_o

it_o relate_v only_o to_o the_o rebuild_n of_o jerusalem_n and_o the_o temple_n at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o seventy_o year_n captivity_n but_o in_o it_o be_v a_o prophecy_n of_o the_o redify_n of_o

that_o anon_o but_o in_o a_o short_a sentence_n i_o further_o add_v this_o as_o a_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o prophecy_n of_o zechariah_n chap._n 4._o most_o primely_a relate_v to_o the_o redify_n of_o jerusalem_n at_o their_o come_n out_o of_o the_o seventy_o year_n of_o captivity_n because_o that_o both_o haggai_n and_o zechariah_n have_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n come_v to_o they_o both_o at_o that_o time_n as_o to_o haggai_n the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n come_v to_o he_o in_o the_o six_o &_o seven_o month_n in_o the_o second_o year_n of_o darius_n chap._n 1.1_o chap._n 2.1_o and_o to_o zechariah_n it_o come_v in_o the_o eight_o month_n in_o the_o same_o year_n zech._n 1.1_o and_o the_o work_n of_o both_o prophet_n be_v to_o stir_v up_o the_o people_n to_o the_o work_n of_o building_n of_o the_o house_n of_o god_n for_o they_o be_v hinder_v by_o subtlety_n in_o the_o day_n of_o cyrus_n because_o that_o zerubbabel_n and_o joshua_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o
