in_o all_o christian_a realm_n state_n from_o their_o first_o reception_n of_o the_o gospel_n till_o this_o present_a compare_v with_o twelve_o place_n of_o scripture_n at_o the_o least_o etc._n

subordinate_a to_o the_o apparent_a subversion_n of_o the_o novel_a independent_a invention_n now_o for_o answer_v to_o this_o large_a argument_n briefl_o and_o first_o to_o the_o proposition_n i_o deny_v that_o you_o can_v bring_v any_o infallible_a proof_n or_o one_o proof_n that_o there_o either_o be_v or_o ever_o have_v be_v any_o national_a church_n by_o any_o other_o institution_n but_o mere_o human_a nor_o any_o one_o of_o divine_a institution_n but_o only_o that_o of_o the_o jew_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o now_o whole_o dissolve_v of_o which_o we_o have_v speak_v sufficient_o before_o and_o which_o also_o be_v not_o only_o national_a but_o in_o a_o manner_n oecumenick_a and_o universal_a as_o appear_v act_n 2._o and_o such_o therefore_o as_o i_o hope_v you_o contend_v not_o for_o now_o for_o then_o there_o will_v be_v a_o pope_n as_o there_o be_v a_o high_a priest_n then_o etc._n etc._n and_o brother_n you_o must_v give_v we_o leave_v to_o stand_v upon_o this_o as_o for_o our_o life_n that_o we_o dare_v not_o admit_v of_o any_o church_n as_o the_o true_a and_o genuine_a church_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v not_o of_o his_o own_o institution_n that_o be_v such_o as_o be_v not_o call_v and_o gather_v by_o the_o voice_n of_o christ_n in_o his_o word_n and_o by_o that_o sceptre_n of_o his_o sway_v and_o by_o that_o alone_a law_n of_o his_o govern_v and_o therefore_o be_v entreat_v good_a brother_n not_o to_o press_v upon_o we_o such_o your_o church_n who_o not_o only_o institution_n in_o their_o several_a division_n but_o government_n also_o in_o their_o combination_n be_v mere_o human_a and_o therefore_o as_o a_o house_n found_v on_o a_o sand_n which_o against_o a_o storm_n can_v stand_v you_o must_v first_o be_v able_a to_o found_v your_o national_a church_n in_o the_o scripture_n or_o assure_v yourself_o if_o a_o man_n will_v build_v upon_o it_o a_o common_a presbyterial_a classical_a government_n and_o dwell_v there_o he_o will_v bring_v a_o old_a house_n upon_o his_o head_n when_o god_n shall_v begin_v to_o storm_v it_o but_o to_o come_v to_o your_o particular_a instance_n in_o the_o assumption_n for_o the_o proof_n of_o your_o national_a church_n the_o first_o be_v the_o catholic_a church_n throughout_o the_o world_n what_o be_v this_o to_o a_o national_a church_n though_o the_o catholic_n include_v all_o the_o true_a church_n throughout_o the_o world_n yet_o do_v it_o not_o therefore_o conclude_v any_o church_n to_o be_v national_a the_o second_o instance_n be_v the_o national_a church_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o from_o hence_o you_o can_v conclude_v as_o little_a for_o your_o national_a church_n as_o before_o we_o have_v show_v for_o bring_v we_o any_o one_o national_a that_o be_v one_o entire_a
