manner_n of_o kiss_v one_o another_o in_o go_v bareheaded_a in_o sign_n of_o authority_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o common_a custom_n of_o many_o people_n all_o these_o thing_n therefore_o

flucus_fw-la the_o which_o be_v grant_v this_o question_n may_v easy_o be_v resolve_v namely_o whether_o the_o church_n be_v above_o the_o scripture_n the_o which_o question_n seem_v so_o absurd_a

the_o holy_a and_o inviolable_a discipline_n establish_v discipline_n by_o his_o authority_n in_o the_o church_n ought_v to_o be_v observe_v and_o that_o therefore_o pastor_n ought_v to_o be_v in_o the_o church_n to_o who_o appertain_v the_o office_n of_o preach_v the_o word_n and_o the_o ministration_n of_o the_o sacrament_n who_o man_n ought_v to_o honour_n and_o reverent_o hear_v if_o they_o be_v lawful_o call_v discharge_v their_o duty_n not_o that_o god_n of_o necessity_n need_v such_o inferior_a help_n but_o rather_o because_o it_o thus_o seem_v good_a unto_o he_o to_o rule_v we_o as_o it_o be_v with_o a_o bridle_n and_o therefore_o we_o do_v detest_v all_o those_o fanatical_a person_n which_o so_o much_o as_o in_o they_o lie_v seek_v to_o abolish_v the_o holy_a ministry_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n and_o the_o administration_n of_o sacrament_n 26_o we_o believe_v therefore_o that_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o no_o man_n to_o church_n withdraw_v himself_o from_o the_o congregation_n and_o to_o trust_v in_o himself_o but_o be_v rather_o the_o duty_n of_o all_o man_n to_o defend_v and_o keep_v the_o unity_n of_o the_o church_n submit_v themselves_o to_o the_o common_a institution_n and_o yoke_n of_o christ_n wheresoever_o god_n have_v appoint_v the_o true_a and_o ecclesiastical_a discipline_n although_o the_o edict_n of_o magistrate_n be_v against_o the_o same_o from_o the_o which_o order_n whosoever_o separate_v themselves_o they_o resist_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god._n 27_o we_o believe_v that_o with_o great_a diligence_n and_o discretion_n the_o be_v true_a church_n must_v be_v discern_v by_o the_o name_n whereof_o many_o be_v too_o much_o abuse_v therefore_o we_o affirm_v out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o the_o church_n be_v a_o company_n or_o congregation_n of_o the_o faithful_a which_o do_v agree_v in_o follow_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o in_o embrace_v true_a religion_n in_o the_o which_o also_o they_o daily_a profit_n and_o go_v forward_o ground_v and_o confirm_v one_o another_o in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n who_o although_o they_o receive_v never_o so_o great_a profit_n yet_o must_v they_o daily_a of_o necessity_n seek_v for_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o will_v not_o deny_v but_o that_o many_o hypocrite_n and_o reprobate_n be_v mix_v with_o the_o faithful_a but_o yet_o their_o wickedness_n can_v not_o take_v away_o the_o name_n the_o church_n 28_o therefore_o in_o beléeve_v of_o this_o thing_n we_o also_o open_o affirm_v that_o where_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v not_o receive_v nor_o no_o profession_n of_o that_o obedience_n show_v that_o belong_v thereunto_o nor_o no_o use_n of_o the_o sacrament_n there_o to_o speak_v proper_o we_o can_v judge_v no_o church_n to_o be_v we_o therefore_o condemn_v the_o papistical_a church_n because_o the_o pure_a truth_n of_o god_n be_v banish_v out_o of_o the_o same_o in_o the_o which_o the_o sacrament_n of_o faith_n be_v corrupt_v falsify_v or_o else_o quite_o abolish_v in_o the_o which_o all_o superstition_n &_o idolatry_n be_v to_o be_v find_v and_o therefore_o we_o think_v that_o all_o they_o which_o do_v join_v themselves_o to_o such_o action_n and_o do_v communicate_v with_o they_o do_v separate_v they_o self_n from_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n notwithstanding_o because_o in_o the_o papacy_n remain_v some_o imitation_n of_o the_o true_a church_n papacy_n and_o special_o the_o substance_n of_o baptism_n the_o efficacy_n whereof_o depend_v not_o upon_o he_o that_o minister_v the_o same_o we_o grant_v that_o they_o which_o be_v baptize_v in_o the_o same_o popish_a church_n have_v no_o need_n to_o be_v baptize_v again_o howbeit_o because_o of_o the_o corruption_n with_o the_o which_o baptism_n be_v there_o mix_v no_o man_n can_v offer_v his_o child_n to_o be_v of_o they_o baptize_v but_o he_o must_v pollute_v himself_o 29_o we_o do_v believe_v that_o the_o true_a church_n ought_v to_o be_v govern_v with_o that_o discipline_n which_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n church_n appoint_v and_o to_o have_v in_o the_o same_o pastor_n minister_n and_o deacon_n that_o the_o pure_a doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n may_v be_v preach_v vice_n bridle_v and_o poor_a &_o afflict_a person_n so_o far_o as_o need_n shall_v require_v comfort_v 30_o we_o do_v believe_v that_o all_o true_a pastor_n wheresoever_o they_o be_v place_v have_v power_n and_o authority_n all_o a_o like_a under_o that_o only_a head_n and_o chief_a universal_a bishop_n jesus_n christ_n and_o therefore_o that_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o no_o church_n to_o challenge_v unto_o itself_o empire_n or_o rule_n over_o another_o 31_o we_o do_v believe_v that_o it_o be_v unlawful_a for_o any_o man_n of_o his_o own_o authority_n to_o presume_v to_o take_v upon_o he_o the_o government_n of_o the_o church_n but_o ought_v rather_o to_o
in_o every_o place_n and_o hereupon_o follow_v a_o infinite_a number_n of_o mischief_n he_o entreat_v therefore_o that_o the_o same_o authority_n may_v be_v restore_v again_o to_o ecclesiastical_a
