A70901	The pillar and ground of truth a treatise shewing that the Roman Chvrch falsly claims to be that church, and the pillar of that truth, mentioned by S.

save_v though_o we_o live_v ungodly_a which_o be_v the_o great_a drift_n of_o too_o many_o doctrine_n wherewith_o the_o world_n be_v trouble_v but_o a_o wonderful_a contrivance_n of_o the_o wisdom_n of_o heaven_n effectual_o to_o root_v out_o all_o impiety_n to_o plant_v all_o manner_n of_o virtue_n in_o our_o heart_n and_o to_o take_v all_o kind_n of_o excuse_n from_o we_o if_o we_o do_v not_o become_v true_o good_a whence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o apostle_n describe_v christian_a woman_n in_o this_o epistle_n to_o timothy_n ii_o 10._o by_o this_o character_n that_o they_o profess_v godliness_n let_v they_o be_v adorn_v say_v he_o as_o become_v woman_n profess_v godliness_n with_o good_a work_n not_o mere_o profess_v the_o truth_n or_o the_o faith_n but_o godliness_n which_o comprehend_v all_o christian_a virtue_n though_o if_o he_o have_v say_v profess_v the_o truth_n it_o have_v be_v of_o the_o same_o import_n because_o that_o truth_n be_v godliness_n hence_o all_o the_o truth_n i_o have_v mention_v be_v call_v fundamental_a not_o only_o because_o the_o church_n be_v build_v upon_o they_o but_o because_o they_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o all_o christian_a practice_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v superstruct_v upon_o they_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o neither_o be_v ignorant_a of_o this_o nor_o let_v our_o knowledge_n of_o it_o be_v empty_a and_o idle_a without_o effect_n that_o be_v first_o let_v we_o not_o be_v so_o foolish_a as_o to_o imagine_v we_o shall_v obtain_v salvation_n mere_o by_o be_v of_o a_o right_a belief_n and_o hold_v the_o right_a faith._n which_o be_v not_o a_o unnecessary_a caution_n for_o this_o seem_v to_o be_v the_o very_a business_n of_o a_o great_a many_o man_n in_o the_o world_n to_o put_v man_n in_o hope_n of_o life_n eternal_a if_o they_o do_v but_o quit_v that_o which_o they_o call_v heresy_n and_o embrace_v the_o faith_n they_o propound_v unto_o they_o though_o their_o heart_n and_o life_n remain_v just_a as_o they_o be_v before_o without_o any_o real_a amendment_n this_o be_v certain_o not_o a_o mystery_n of_o godliness_n but_o the_o very_a mystery_n of_o iniquity_n not_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n but_o the_o witchcraft_n of_o the_o flesh_n the_o world_n and_o the_o devil_n to_o lead_v they_o secure_o into_o destruction_n but_o we_o have_v not_o thus_o learned_a christ_n as_o the_o same_o apostle_n

by_o our_o own_o or_o other_o lust_n that_o be_v in_o the_o christian_a religion_n it_o be_v that_o which_o teach_v we_o to_o abandon_v all_o wickedness_n and_o not_o to_o think_v of_o throw_v a_o cover_n over_o it_o to_o hide_v it_o but_o to_o put_v it_o off_o that_o which_o renew_v we_o in_o the_o very_a spirit_n of_o our_o mind_n which_o make_v we_o new_a creature_n and_o real_o restore_v the_o divine_a image_n in_o we_o in_o righteousness_n and_o sincere_a holiness_n thus_o we_o have_v learned_a christ_n thus_o we_o be_v constant_o teach_v in_o this_o church_n and_o therefore_o second_o if_o the_o truth_n have_v not_o this_o effect_n upon_o we_o in_o vain_a do_v we_o pride_n ourselves_o in_o the_o name_n of_o orthodox_n believer_n upon_o such_o s._n john_n have_v pass_v

they_o be_v accuse_v by_o s._n paul_n upon_o this_o score_n that_o they_o hold_v the_o truth_n of_o god_n in_o unrighteousness_n i._n rom._n 18._o some_o truth_n they_o know_v and_o it_o teach_v

divine_a revelation_n which_o god_n have_v make_v in_o christ_n jesus_n instruct_v we_o therein_o and_o if_o they_o be_v find_v guilty_a for_o hold_v that_o truth_n in_o unrighteousness_n much_o

they_o unto_o we_o for_o this_o very_a purpose_n to_o teach_v we_o that_o deny_v ungodliness_n and_o all_o worldly_a lust_n we_o shall_v live_v sober_o righteous_o and_o godly_a in_o this_o present_a

rom._n 21_o 22_o 23._o read_v the_o word_n and_o you_o will_v not_o wonder_v if_o the_o same_o sad_a fate_n attend_v man_n impiety_n now_o which_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n so_o direct_o

than_o the_o gospel_n propound_v invent_v such_o a_o religion_n as_o will_v favour_v they_o in_o their_o sin_n and_o comply_v with_o their_o inclination_n to_o follow_v their_o foul_a lust_n and_o
