for_o other_o foundation_n can_v no_o man_n lay_v than_o that_o which_o be_v lay_v jesus_n christ._n now_o if_o any_o man_n build_v upon_o this_o foundation_n gold_n silver_n precious_a stone_n wood_n

of_o christianity_n but_o build_v upon_o it_o such_o doctrine_n or_o practice_n as_o will_v not_o bear_v the_o trial_n which_o he_o express_v to_o we_o by_o wood_n hay_o and_o stubble_n which_o be_v

who_o will_v be_v glad_a of_o any_o shadow_n of_o a_o text_n of_o scripture_n to_o countenance_v their_o own_o dream_n i_o shall_v neither_o trouble_v you_o nor_o myself_o to_o manifest_v it_o be_v very_o well_o know_v that_o this_o be_v a_o proverbial_a phrase_n use_v not_o only_o in_o scripture_n but_o in_o profane_a author_n to_o signify_v a_o narrow_a escape_n out_o of_o a_o great_a danger_n he_o shall_v be_v save_v yet_o so_o as_o by_o fire_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d out_o of_o the_o fire_n just_o as_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d be_v use_v 1_o pet._n 3.20_o where_o the_o

to_o be_v render_v in_o the_o text_n he_o himself_o shall_v escape_v yet_o so_o as_o out_o of_o fire_n the_o like_a expression_n you_o have_v amos_n 4.11_o i_o have_v pluck_v they_o as_o a_o

greek_a orator_n aristotle_n tell_v we_o that_o to_o save_v a_o man_n out_o of_o the_o fire_n be_v a_o common_a proverbial_a speech_n and_o thus_o st._n chrysostom_n interpret_v this_o very_a place_n he_o shall_v escape_v as_o one_o that_o escape_v out_o of_o the_o fire_n that_o be_v say_v he_o as_o one_o who_o when_o his_o house_n at_o midnight_n be_v set_v on_o fire_n wakes_z and_o leap_v out_o of_o his_o bed_n and_o run_v naked_a out_o of_o the_o door_n take_v nothing_o that_o be_v within_o along_o with_o he_o but_o employ_v his_o whole_a care_n to_o save_v his_o body_n from_o the_o flame_n from_o the_o word_n thus_o explain_v the_o observation_n that_o natural_o arise_v be_v this_o that_o man_n may_v hold_v all_o the_o fundamental_o of_o christian_a religion_n and_o yet_o may_v supper_n add_v other_o thing_n whereby_o they_o may_v great_o endanger_v their_o salvation_n what_o those_o thing_n be_v which_o some_o among_o the_o corinthian_n build_v upon_o the_o foundation_n of_o christianity_n whereby_o they_o endanger_v their_o salvation_n we_o may_v probable_o conjecture_v by_o what_o the_o apostle_n reprove_v in_o this_o epistle_n as_o the_o tolerate_n of_o incestuous_a marriage_n communicate_v in_o idol_n feast_n etc._n etc._n and_o especial_o by_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o false_a apostle_n who_o at_o that_o time_n do_v so_o much_o disturb_v the_o peace_n of_o most_o christian_a church_n and_o who_o be_v so_o often_o and_o so_o severe_o reflect_v upon_o in_o this_o epistle_n and_o what_o their_o doctrine_n be_v we_o have_v a_o account_n act_v 15._o viz._n that_o they_o impose_v upon_o the_o gentile_a christian_n circumcision_n and_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o jewish_a law_n teach_v that_o unless_o they_o be_v circumcise_a and_o keep_v the_o law_n of_o moses_n they_o can_v not_o be_v save_v so_o that_o they_o do_v not_o only_o build_v these_o doctrine_n upon_o christianity_n but_o they_o make_v they_o equal_a with_o the_o foundation_n say_v that_o unless_o man_n believe_v and_o practise_v such_o thing_n they_o can_v not_o be_v save_v i_o shall_v at_o this_o time_n take_v occasion_n from_o this_o passage_n of_o the_o apostle_n to_o consider_v these_o two_o thing_n 1._o some_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n which_o have_v be_v build_v upon_o the_o foundation_n of_o christianity_n to_o the_o great_a hazard_n and_o danger_n of_o man_n salvation_n and_o to_o be_v plain_a i_o mean_v particular_o by_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n 2._o whether_o our_o grant_v a_o possibility_n of_o salvation_n though_o with_o great_a hazard_n to_o those_o in_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n and_o their_o deny_v it_o to_o we_o be_v a_o reasonable_a argument_n and_o encouragement_n to_o any_o man_n to_o betake_v himself_o to_o that_o church_n and_o there_o be_v the_o more_o reason_n to_o consider_v these_o thing_n when_o so_o many_o seduce_a spirit_n be_v so_o active_a and_o busy_a ●o_o pervert_v man_n from_o the_o truth_n and_o when_o we_o see_v every_o day_n so_o many_o person_n and_o their_o religion_n so_o easy_o part_v for_o this_o reason_n these_o two_o consideration_n shall_v be_v the_o subject_n of_o the_o follow_a discourse_n i._n first_o we_o will_v consider_v some_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n which_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v build_v upon_o the_o foundation_n of_o christianity_n to_o the_o great_a hazard_n and_o danger_n of_o man_n salvation_n it_o be_v not_o deny_v by_o the_o most_o judicious_a protestant_n but_o that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n do_v hold_v all_o the_o article_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n which_o be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n but_o that_o which_o we_o charge_v upon_o they_o as_o a_o just_a ground_n of_o our_o separation_n from_o they_o be_v the_o impose_v of_o new_a doctrine_n and_o practice_n upon_o christian_n as_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n which_o be_v never_o teach_v by_o our_o saviour_n or_o his_o apostle_n and_o which_o be_v either_o direct_o contrary_a to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christianity_n or_o too_o apparent_o destructive_a of_o a_o good_a life_n and_o i_o begin_v 1._o with_o their_o doctrine_n and_o because_o i_o have_v no_o mind_n to_o aggravate_v lesser_a matter_n i_o will_v single_a out_o four_o or_o five_o point_n of_o doctrine_n which_o they_o have_v add_v to_o the_o christian_a religion_n and_o which_o be_v neither_o teach_v by_o our_o saviour_n and_o his_o apostle_n nor_o own_a in_o the_o first_o age_n of_o christianity_n and_o the_o first_o which_o i_o shall_v mention_v and_o which_o be_v once_o admit_v make_v way_n for_o as_o many_o error_n as_o they_o please_v to_o bring_v in_o be_v this_o their_o doctrine_n of_o infallibility_n and_o this_o they_o be_v stiff_a and_o peremptory_a in_o though_o they_o be_v not_o agree_v among_o themselves_o where_o this_o infallibility_n be_v seat_v whether_o in_o the_o pope_n alone_o or_o a_o council_n alone_o or_o in_o both_o together_o or_o in_o the_o diffusive_a body_n of_o christian_n but_o they_o be_v sure_o they_o have_v it_o though_o they_o know_v not_o where_o it_o be_v and_o be_v this_o no_o prejudice_n against_o it_o can_v any_o man_n think_v that_o this_o privilege_n be_v at_o first_o confer_v upon_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o that_o christian_n in_o all_o age_n do_v believe_v
