why_o we_o make_v choice_n of_o this_o scripture_n for_o the_o matter_n of_o this_o sacrament_n be_v because_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v here_o call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o

of_o these_o duty_n one_o part_n of_o the_o reach_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o this_o place_n i_o show_v you_o be_v to_o commend_v unto_o we_o the_o religious_a practice_n of_o religious_a

reach_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o this_o place_n we_o have_v observe_v this_o doctrine_n that_o all_o that_o profess_v religion_n their_o life_n and_o practice_n must_v be_v answerable_a to_o their_o profession_n they_o must_v be_v daily_o conversant_a in_o the_o practice_n of_o religious_a duty_n both_o of_o the_o first_o and_o second_o table_n now_o we_o be_v to_o come_v to_o the_o other_o part_n of_o the_o reach_n that_o be_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n set_v before_o we_o the_o pattern_n and_o example_n of_o a_o true_a visible_a church_n in_o these_o christian_n and_o that_o this_o be_v one_o part_n of_o his_o reach_n appear_v plain_o by_o this_o because_o he_o do_v so_o precise_o and_o exact_o set_v down_o and_o describe_v the_o carriage_n and_o behaviour_n of_o these_o christian_n after_o their_o call_n and_o gather_v together_o which_o he_o will_v not_o have_v do_v but_o that_o he_o have_v a_o purpose_n to_o set_v before_o we_o a_o true_a pattern_n of_o a_o

that_o they_o be_v a_o true_a church_n it_o be_v no_o question_n for_o if_o there_o be_v ever_o any_o this_o be_v one_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o being_n their_o teacher_n and_o the_o people_n be_v so_o effectual_o call_v immediate_o after_o the_o send_n down_o of_o the_o visible_a gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o that_o they_o be_v a_o visible_a church_n it_o be_v no_o question_n because_o they_o make_v open_a profession_n of_o that_o christian_a faith_n which_o they_o have_v receive_v and_o therefore_o this_o reach_n and_o drift_n of_o the_o place_n right_o consider_v it_o be_v as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v these_o christian_n thus_o receive_v the_o word_n and_o be_v thus_o baptize_v as_o vers_n 41._o be_v now_o a_o true_a visible_a church_n and_o this_o be_v the_o state_n and_o condition_n that_o they_o be_v grow_v into_o and_o settle_v upon_o they_o continue_v in_o the_o apostle_n doctrine_n and_o fellowship_n and_o break_v of_o bread_n and_o prayer_n and_o so_o have_v a_o right_a form_n of_o a_o true_a visible_a church_n for_o the_o better_a understanding_n of_o this_o point_n we_o will_v first_o consider_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o take_v this_o course_n and_o then_o second_o we_o will_v come_v to_o the_o instruction_n first_o let_v we_o consider_v the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o take_v this_o course_n and_o that_o we_o may_v discern_v in_o these_o two_o particular_n first_o in_o that_o he_o think_v it_o needful_a that_o there_o shall_v be_v some_o exact_a pattern_n of_o a_o true_a visible_a church_n extant_a in_o scripture_n that_o all_o succeed_a church_n be_v to_o be_v examine_v by_o and_o conform_v unto_o second_o in_o that_o he_o make_v choice_n this_o church_n as_o a_o most_o fit_a pattern_n for_o that_o purpose_n first_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v of_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o that_o he_o think_v it_o needful_a that_o there_o shall_v be_v some_o exact_a pattern_n of_o a_o true_a visible_a church_n extant_a in_o scripture_n for_o all_o succeed_a church_n to_o be_v examine_v by_o and_o conform_v unto_o the_o lord_n see_v that_o it_o will_v be_v a_o matter_n of_o great_a consequence_n he_o know_v on_o the_o one_o side_n that_o many_o congregation_n will_v pretend_v themselves_o to_o be_v a_o true_a visible_a church_n when_o indeed_o they_o be_v not_o so_o and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n he_o see_v that_o those_o which_o be_v true_a church_n indeed_o will_v be_v call_v into_o question_n about_o their_o state_n by_o their_o enemy_n slander_v they_o and_o traduce_v they_o as_o false_a church_n and_o therefore_o he_o will_v have_v some_o absolute_a pattern_n of_o a_o true_a visible_a church_n to_o be_v find_v in_o scripture_n whereby_o true_a believer_n may_v justify_v themselves_o and_o their_o own_o stand_n and_o convince_v all_o false_a church_n whatsoever_o as_o a_o straight_a rule_n show_v both_o the_o crookedness_n of_o that_o which_o be_v crooked_a and_o the_o straightness_n of_o that_o which_o be_v straight_o so_o a_o true_a pattern_n of_o a_o true_a visible_a church_n serve_v as_o well_o to_o discover_v the_o falsehood_n of_o a_o false_a church_n as_o to_o confirm_v the_o truth_n of_o a_o true_a the_o lord_n know_v that_o many_o christian_n will_v be_v much_o offend_v at_o the_o manifold_a difference_n that_o from_o time_n to_o time_n will_v arise_v among_o professor_n touch_v the_o state_n of_o a_o church_n and_o so_o stand_v in_o a_o mamere_a not_o know_v what_o church_n to_o join_v themselves_o unto_o and_o therefore_o for_o their_o sake_n he_o think_v it_o fit_a and_o needful_a that_o such_o a_o pattern_n shall_v be_v set_v before_o we_o as_o that_o we_o may_v be_v resolve_v which_o church_n we_o may_v safe_o and_o bold_o enter_v into_o and_o stand_v in_o communion_n withal_o and_o howsoever_o this_o also_o may_v be_v and_o be_v sufficient_o teach_v in_o the_o scripture_n by_o certain_a precept_n rule_n and_o direction_n yet_o one_o example_n and_o pattern_n do_v more_o sensible_o work_v upon_o we_o and_o sway_v we_o more_o in_o our_o understanding_n judgement_n affection_n and_o practice_n than_o twenty_o precept_n example_n be_v strong_a persuader_n and_o pregnant_a and_o lively_a teacher_n and_o therefore_o here_o be_v the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n that_o he_o do_v thus_o furnish_v we_o with_o a_o true_a pattern_n of_o a_o true_a visible_a church_n in_o scripture_n second_o herein_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n do_v also_o appear_v in_o that_o he_o make_v choice_n of_o this_o present_a church_n as_o a_o most_o sensible_a and_o fit_a pattern_n for_o that_o purpose_n for_o this_o be_v the_o
the_o church_n commend_v to_o we_o in_o scripture_n for_o true_a church_n have_v these_o as_o corinth_n ephesus_n and_o the_o rest_n as_o may_v be_v prove_v either_o direct_o or_o by_o necessary_a

be_v thus_o use_v there_o be_v the_o promise_n of_o christ_n special_a presence_n and_o blessing_n matth._n 18.20_o where_o two_o or_o three_o be_v gather_v together_o in_o my_o name_n there_o be_o

save_v promise_n be_v peculiar_a to_o the_o church_n he_o be_v the_o head_n the_o church_n be_v the_o body_n the_o head_n have_v no_o life_n to_o communicate_v to_o any_o but_o to_o its_o own_o body_n therefore_o there_o be_v christ_n true_a church_n now_o the_o congregation_n there_o speak_v of_o be_v a_o visible_a congregation_n as_o appear_v in_o the_o 17._o and_o 18._o verse_n where_o he_o

religious_o and_o conscionable_o practise_v there_o be_v a_o true_a visible_a church_n and_o this_o may_v further_o be_v enlarge_v in_o every_o one_o of_o these_o particular_n here_o mention_v where_o the_o word_n be_v true_o preach_v there_o be_v a_o promise_n of_o christ_n presence_n and_o blessing_n and_o so_o where_o the_o sacrament_n be_v right_o administer_v as_o we_o may_v see_v in_o matt._n 28.18_o 19_o go_v teach_v all_o nation_n baptise_v they_o etc._n etc._n and_o lo_o i_o be_o with_o you_o always_o until_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n and_o so_o for_o prayer_n the_o lord_n have_v

particular_a then_o where_o all_o these_o meet_v together_o there_o be_v a_o promise_n of_o his_o save_a presence_n and_o blessing_n much_o more_o now_o christ_n save_v presence_n and_o blessing_n be_v peculiar_a to_o his_o church_n then_o where_o these_o be_v there_o be_v a_o true_a church_n second_o where_o these_o duty_n be_v true_o practise_v there_o be_v true_a save_a faith_n at_o least_o in_o outward_a profession_n now_o what_o be_v a_o true_a visible_a church_n but_o a_o company_n of_o those_o that_o open_o and_o joint_o profess_v the_o true_a save_a faith_n therefore_o where_o these_o be_v there_o be_v a_o true_a visible_a church_n let_v man_n profess_v what_o other_o faith_n or_o religion_n they_o will_v though_o never_o so_o plausible_a a_o religion_n and_o never_o so_o

of_o the_o visibility_n of_o it_o but_o because_o always_o in_o such_o congregation_n there_o be_v by_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n some_o true_a believer_n therefore_o they_o be_v true_a church_n

we_o grace_v it_o before_o man_n our_o friend_n that_o like_v we_o the_o better_a for_o it_o and_o our_o enemy_n that_o be_v put_v to_o shame_n and_o silence_n by_o it_o yea_o and_o ofttimes_o be_v

second_o this_o be_v the_o life_n of_o our_o faith_n it_o can_v live_v no_o long_o than_o it_o be_v exercise_v in_o good_a duty_n as_o rachel_n gen._n 39.1_o say_v to_o jacob_n give_v i_o child_n or_o

it_o be_v the_o end_n of_o our_o call_n 1_o thess_n 4.7_o for_o god_n have_v not_o call_v we_o unto_o uncleanness_n but_o unto_o holiness_n that_o be_v to_o the_o practice_n of_o holy_a and_o
