A26659	The church triumphant, or, A comfortable treatise of the amplitude and largeness of the kingdom of Christ wherein is proved by Scriptures and reason, that the number of the damned is inferiour to that of the elect / by Joseph Alford ...	Alford, Joseph.	1649 (1649)	Wing A921; ESTC R22399	57,799	139

two_o there_o be_v no_o three_o then_o he_o say_v those_o that_o be_v worldly_a do_v continual_o vex_v and_o persecute_v those_o that_o be_v spiritual_a and_o heavenly_a yet_o they_o be_v servant_n these_o be_v free_a therefore_o in_o reference_n to_o their_o final_a condition_n he_o confer_v a_o everlasting_a inheritance_n upon_o the_o son_n of_o the_o freewoman_n those_o of_o the_o bondwoman_n be_v abdicate_v forsake_a and_o reject_v these_o thing_n be_v so_o learned_o and_o so_o plain_o disjoin_v by_o the_o apostle_n we_o ought_v not_o to_o conjoin_v or_o rather_o to_o confound_v they_o and_o if_o any_o man_n will_v by_o that_o marry_a wife_n or_o by_o that_o daughter_n of_o the_o bondwoman_n understand_v the_o nation_n of_o the_o jew_n neither_o can_v he_o by_o that_o mean_n detract_v from_o the_o multitude_n of_o the_o elect_a for_o as_o he_o that_o tread_v the_o step_n of_o the_o faith_n of_o abraham_n be_v the_o son_n of_o abraham_n and_o belong_v to_o the_o number_n of_o the_o saint_n so_o he_o that_o follow_v the_o contumacy_n and_o abide_v in_o the_o unbelief_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v deserve_o call_v a_o hagaren_n and_o a_o ismaelite_n here_o be_v therefore_o no_o place_n for_o tergiverlation_n for_o he_o plain_o affirm_v that_o the_o number_n of_o the_o citizen_n of_o the_o heavenly_a jerusalem_n be_v much_o great_a than_o that_o of_o the_o earthly_a jerusalem_n and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o that_o great_a admiration_n of_o the_o celestial_a citizen_n when_o they_o behold_v their_o own_o multitude_n as_o you_o read_v at_o large_a in_o the_o prophecy_n of_o isaiah_n c._n it_o be_v so_o but_o why_o be_v one_o call_v barren_a and_o forsake_v &_o the_o other_o the_o marry_a wife_n m._n first_o because_o she_o be_v not_o so_o fruitful_a pompous_a and_o illustrious_a in_o the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o law_n as_o the_o other_o second_o because_o she_o appear_v little_a and_o regardless_o in_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o world_n for_o she_o boast_v not_o of_o good_a work_n and_o merit_n do_v not_o make_v ornament_n magnificence_n and_o splendour_n to_o be_v inseparable_a note_n of_o her_o purity_n and_o last_o be_v not_o celebrate_v for_o diversity_n of_o sect_n and_o variety_n of_o rite_n and_o ceremony_n therefore_o she_o be_v term_v barren_a without_o child_n solitary_a little_a despisable_v and_o forsake_v of_o god_n by_o they_o that_o judge_v according_a to_o the_o specicious_a outside_n of_o thing_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o other_o say_v to_o have_v a_o husband_n because_o she_o surpass_v in_o the_o pomp_n of_o outward_a worship_n for_o the_o prophet_n have_v oppose_v the_o marry_a woman_n to_o the_o barren_a and_o she_o that_o be_v forsake_v and_o speak_v of_o both_o of_o they_o after_o the_o manner_n of_o man_n c._n i_o will_v not_o here_o demand_v who_o be_v the_o husband_n of_o the_o church_n for_o i_o know_v it_o be_v christ_n the_o lord_n but_o who_o beside_o will_v they_o have_v to_o be_v her_o husband_n m._n the_o very_a synagogue_n itself_o boast_v of_o moses_n but_o very_o false_o as_o christ_n show_v in_o the_o 5._o of_o john_n say_v have_v you_o believe_v moses_n you_o have_v also_o believe_v i_o for_o he_o write_v of_o i_o but_o if_o you_o believe_v not_o his_o writing_n how_o will_v you_o believe_v my_o word_n also_o our_o lord_n say_v in_o the_o 2._o of_o the_o apocalypse_n that_o such_o be_v not_o jew_n but_o blasphemer_n and_o the_o synagogue_n of_o satan_n moreover_o they_o who_o ordain_v and_o pretend_v moses_n for_o their_o lawgiver_n if_o they_o seek_v salvation_n by_o any_o other_o law_n than_o that_o of_o christ_n whether_o it_o be_v of_o moses_n or_o mahomet_n or_o pope_n or_o any_o separatist_n whatsoever_o they_o may_v be_v say_v to_o have_v a_o master_n &_o a_o husband_n and_o they_o that_o be_v such_o be_v all_o servant_n &_o bondman_n and_o as_o many_o as_o be_v beget_v of_o they_o that_o be_v pervert_v by_o they_o and_o if_o they_o be_v servant_n they_o shall_v not_o abide_v in_o the_o house_n for_o ever_o but_o the_o son_n abide_v ever_o but_o christ_n and_o his_o spouse_n the_o heavenly_a jerusalem_n have_v child_n and_o those_o free_a from_o the_o law_n as_o our_o saviour_n tell_v the_o jew_n if_o the_o son_n shall_v make_v you_o free_a than_o you_o be_v free_a st._n paul_n also_o tell_v we_o that_o where_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v there_o be_v liberty_n 1_o cor._n 3._o therefore_o these_o be_v heir_n not_o by_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o law_n but_o only_o as_o son_n son_n of_o the_o freewoman_n which_o be_v the_o holy_a catholic_n church_n not_o the_o synagogue_n of_o the_o bondwoman_n hold_v under_o fear_n and_o servitude_n for_o he_o that_o be_v a_o son_n do_v not_o imagine_v that_o he_o shall_v therefore_o become_v a_o heir_n because_o he_o serve_v the_o father_n &_o keep_v his_o commandment_n but_o because_o he_o be_v bear_v in_o true_a and_o lawful_a wedlock_n or_o else_o call_v into_o the_o family_n by_o adoption_n c._n these_o thing_n be_v so_o plain_a that_o he_o be_v wilful_o blind_a that_o see_v they_o not_o but_o can_v you_o produce_v any_o testimony_n out_o of_o the_o new_a testament_n m._n i_o can_v behold_v st._n paul_n compare_v the_o calamity_n bring_v into_o the_o world_n by_o the_o transgression_n of_o adam_n with_o the_o benefit_n of_o christ_n resurrection_n that_o be_v those_o which_o be_v damn_v in_o adam_n with_o those_o that_o be_v justify_v sanctify_a and_o save_v in_o christ_n say_v thus_o but_o not_o as_o the_o offence_n so_o be_v the_o free_a gift_n for_o if_o through_o the_o offence_n of_o one_o many_o be_v dead_a much_o more_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o the_o gift_n by_o grace_n which_o be_v by_o one_o man_n jesus_n christ_n have_v abound_v unto_o many_o rom._n 5._o now_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o word_n be_v this_o that_o the_o gift_n of_o one_o man_n jesus_n christ_n have_v abound_v to_o many_o more_o than_o the_o fall_n of_o adam_n and_o the_o offence_n by_o that_o fall_n do_v extend_v here_o you_o see_v the_o apostle_n say_v in_o terminis_fw-la that_o more_o be_v save_v by_o the_o advantage_n of_o christ_n than_o be_v damn_v by_o the_o sin_n of_o adam_n c._n i_o do_v see_v it_o and_o i_o understand_v it_o but_o how_o in_o the_o same_o place_n be_v those_o word_n to_o be_v understand_v for_o he_o say_v as_o by_o the_o offence_n of_o one_o man_n judgement_n come_v upon_o all_o man_n to_o condemnation_n so_o by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o one_o man_n shall_v all_o man_n be_v absolve_v here_o he_o say_v all_o man_n be_v damn_v and_o yet_o all_o man_n be_v save_v and_o seem_v to_o speak_v thing_n repugnant_a for_o if_o all_o be_v condemn_v there_o be_v a_o necessity_n none_o can_v be_v save_v and_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n none_o can_v be_v damn_v if_o all_o man_n be_v save_v m._n you_o have_v propound_v a_o question_n somewhat_o perplex_v and_o knotty_a but_o by_o god_n assistance_n i_o shall_v untie_v it_o i_o know_v there_o be_v some_o that_o say_v all_o be_v condemn_v that_o be_v all_o that_o be_v bear_v under_o original_a sin_n be_v obnoxious_a to_o condemnation_n that_o all_o be_v absolve_v and_o set_v free_a that_o be_v that_o christ_n die_v for_o all_o man_n and_o that_o his_o death_n be_v effectual_a to_o expiation_n of_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n if_o all_o man_n have_v apply_v unto_o themselves_o the_o benefit_n of_o his_o death_n by_o say_v but_o this_o opinion_n totter_v in_o regard_n that_o all_o man_n be_v bear_v in_o original_a sin_n yet_o all_o man_n be_v not_o justify_v all_o man_n be_v not_o save_v and_o by_o this_o it_o will_v seem_v that_o the_o efficacy_n of_o the_o passion_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o so_o diffusive_a as_o the_o transgression_n of_o adam_n be_v destructive_a whereas_o if_o you_o consider_v the_o word_n only_o the_o reason_n shall_v be_v the_o same_o in_o both_o you_o have_v not_o forget_v the_o old_a axiom_n paria_fw-la paribus_fw-la &_o contrariis_fw-la omnibus_fw-la contraria_fw-la conveniunt_fw-la but_o this_o seem_v more_o plain_a to_o i_o to_o affirm_v that_o all_o which_o be_v condemn_v be_v condemn_v for_o the_o offence_n of_o one_o man_n and_o so_o also_o all_o that_o be_v save_v have_v salvation_n by_o the_o benefit_n of_o one_o but_o it_o be_v true_a that_o all_o be_v condemn_v that_o come_v of_o the_o old_a adam_n and_o all_o which_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o second_o adam_n which_o be_v christ_n be_v save_v but_o they_o be_v few_o these_o be_v many_o otherwise_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n will_v be_v find_v less_o than_o the_o disobedience_n of_o adam_n thus_o we_o shall_v with_o the_o apostle_n harbour_v thought_n correspondent_a to_o the_o office_n &_o divine_a virtue_n of_o christ_n and_o whereas_o
