do_v offend_v in_o not_o execute_v the_o discipline_n upon_o ungodly_a man_n to_o bring_v they_o to_o repentance_n but_o in_o receive_v their_o child_n to_o be_v baptize_v they_o do_v not_o offend_v

do_v hold_v that_o our_o ancestor_n be_v not_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o time_n of_o popery_n and_o that_o we_o now_o be_v confuse_v multitude_n not_o right_o enter_v into_o covenant_n with_o god_n to_o become_v a_o church_n see_v we_o be_v not_o of_o god_n true_a church_n before_o neither_o orderly_o enter_v into_o covenant_n indeed_o if_o we_o be_v not_o within_o the_o covenant_n before_o from_o our_o ancestor_n nor_o enter_v orderly_o to_o become_v a_o church_n the_o matter_n will_v seem_v strong_a against_o us._n let_v it_o therefore_o be_v examine_v i_o know_v this_o be_v the_o usual_a speech_n of_o the_o learnede_a divines_n the_o church_n of_o god_n be_v in_o the_o papacy_n but_o the_o papacy_n be_v not_o the_o church_n and_o it_o may_v be_v the_o sense_n will_v differ_v little_a or_o nothing_o but_o i_o take_v it_o a_o fit_a speech_n to_o say_v the_o papacy_n be_v in_o the_o church_n then_o to_o say_v the_o church_n be_v in_o the_o papacy_n for_o antichrist_n do_v sit_v in_o the_o temple_n of_o god_n his_o law_n his_o worship_n and_o all_o his_o abomination_n be_v bring_v into_o the_o church_n all_o the_o man_n which_o receive_v his_o mark_n and_o worship_v he_o be_v in_o the_o church_n yea_o even_o the_o whole_a apostasy_n be_v in_o the_o church_n the_o church_n be_v before_o and_o that_o come_v after_o and_o enter_v into_o or_o arise_v in_o it_o then_o to_o the_o question_n if_o by_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n we_o understand_v the_o pope_n his_o law_n his_o worship_n which_o have_v be_v devise_v by_o himself_o his_o adherent_n and_o all_o that_o worship_v he_o or_o receive_v his_o mark_n i_o answer_v that_o this_o be_v that_o which_o may_v proper_o be_v call_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n which_o be_v the_o papacy_n the_o apostasy_n and_o seduce_v to_o damnation_n and_o not_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n otherwise_o then_o thus_o that_o the_o pope_n the_o cardinal_n and_o all_o that_o worship_v the_o beast_n be_v false_a christian_n by_o profession_n breed_v in_o the_o church_n and_o continue_v in_o it_o their_o seed_n not_o exclude_v from_o the_o covenant_n but_o if_o by_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n we_o understand_v all_o those_o company_n of_o people_n over_o who_o the_o tyranny_n of_o the_o pope_n have_v heretofore_o extend_v itself_o or_o do_v at_o this_o day_n or_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v give_v by_o christ_n which_o remain_v in_o the_o same_o i_o say_v this_o be_v not_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n but_o the_o church_n of_o god_n first_o if_o we_o respect_v the_o holy_a doctrine_n of_o god_n in_o all_o those_o point_n which_o be_v and_o be_v keep_v sound_a among_o they_o and_o the_o holy_a sacrament_n of_o baptism_n then_o second_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o kingdom_n and_o people_n themselves_o all_o do_v not_o fall_v from_o christ_n but_o many_o hold_v the_o foundation_n the_o most_o of_o they_o lie_v scatter_v and_o hide_v in_o the_o desolation_n and_o ruin_n three_o if_o we_o regard_v that_o the_o infant_n not_o only_o of_o these_o faithful_a but_o even_o of_o the_o wicked_a apostate_n which_o worship_v the_o beast_n be_v still_o within_o the_o covenant_n as_o the_o holy_a seed_n we_o shall_v see_v that_o the_o papacy_n be_v and_o be_v in_o the_o church_n which_o be_v the_o temple_n of_o god_n and_o not_o the_o synagog_n of_o rome_n the_o church_n of_o rome_n then_o be_v not_o the_o true_a church_n of_o god_n but_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v the_o apostasy_n in_o the_o church_n let_v we_o come_v then_o more_o particular_o the_o church_n of_o england_n in_o the_o time_n of_o popery_n be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o universal_a church_n and_o have_v not_o the_o be_v of_o a_o church_n of_o christ_n from_o rome_n nor_o take_v not_o her_o beginning_n of_o be_v a_o church_n by_o separate_n herself_o from_o that_o romish_a synagog_n but_o have_v her_o spirit_n reviue_v and_o her_o eye_n open_v by_o the_o light_n of_o the_o heavenly_a word_n do_v cast_v forth_o that_o tyranny_n of_o antichrist_n with_o his_o abominable_a idolatry_n heresy_n and_o false_a worship_n and_o seek_v to_o bring_v all_o her_o child_n unto_o the_o right_a faith_n and_o true_a service_n of_o god_n and_o so_o be_v a_o pure_a and_o more_o faithful_a church_n then_o before_o idolatry_n be_v open_o set_v up_o in_o the_o church_n of_o israel_n at_o sundry_a time_n it_o do_v not_o as_o i_o have_v show_v disannul_v the_o covenant_n of_o god_n with_o they_o nor_o debar_v their_o child_n from_o the_o holy_a sign_n of_o circumcision_n but_o all_o the_o jew_n be_v call_v the_o child_n of_o the_o covenant_n then_o let_v the_o brownist_n show_v some_o reason_n why_o it_o shall_v be_v otherwise_o in_o this_o case_n with_o our_o church_n than_o it_o be_v with_o the_o church_n of_o israel_n thus_o much_o for_o the_o one_o part_n of_o your_o assumption_n wherein_o you_o blame_v the_o church_n of_o england_n for_o receive_v in_o all_o by_o baptism_n now_o touch_v the_o other_o part_n of_o it_o in_o which_o you_o affirm_v that_o there_o be_v no_o power_n to_o cast_v forth_o any_o by_o excommunication_n you_o speak_v very_o false_o for_o the_o church_n of_o england_n have_v some_o power_n to_o excommunicate_v but_o you_o reason_n thus_o the_o person_n and_o all_o his_o parish_n have_v not_o the_o power_n to_o excommunicate_v any_o one_o offendor_n therefore_o the_o church_n of_o england_n have_v not_o pour_v to_o excommunicate_v be_v it_o possible_a if_o a_o man_n will_v study_v to_o reason_n absurdlie_o that_o he_o shall_v excel_v you_o will_v you_o argue_v thus_o every_o several_a part_n by_o itself_o have_v not_o power_n to_o excommunicate_v therefore_o the_o whole_a together_o have_v not_o the_o power_n it_o be_v not_o meet_v indeed_o that_o the_o parson_n and_o his_o parish_n shall_v have_v the_o power_n to_o excommunicate_v unless_o it_o be_v such_o a_o parish_n as_o have_v the_o consistory_n of_o pastor_n teacher_n and_o governor_n it_o seem_v you_o have_v great_a skill_n in_o the_o discipline_n of_o christ_n the_o several_a flock_n about_o geneva_n without_o the_o city_n have_v every_o one_o a_o pastor_n and_o two_o elder_n but_o yet_o they_o have_v not_o the_o power_n to_o excommunicate_v but_o that_o be_v refer_v to_o the_o consisiorie_n which_o be_v within_o the_o city_n master_n beza_n epist_n 20._o will_v you_o say_v those_o several_a flock_n can_v be_v the_o church_n of_o christ_n unless_o their_o pastor_n and_o they_o together_o have_v power_n to_o excommunicate_v they_o be_v member_n of_o that_o church_n which_o have_v power_n to_o excommunicate_v but_o you_o will_v say_v that_o the_o excommunication_n of_o the_o commissary_n be_v no_o excommunication_n and_o therefore_o our_o parish_n be_v no_o member_n of_o a_o church_n which_o have_v power_n to_o excommunicate_v the_o like_v you_o will_v say_v of_o the_o excommunication_n by_o the_o bishop_n himself_o and_o by_o the_o archdeacon_n i_o
