state_n of_o government_n in_o the_o world_n and_o these_o all_o have_v their_o religion_n several_a under_o their_o own_o authority_n if_o any_o of_o these_o kingdom_n do_v send_v forth_o their_o spiritual_a authority_n to_o condemn_v and_o execute_v all_o within_o their_o dominion_n which_o as_o they_o term_v they_o be_v heretic_n schismatic_n and_o rebel_n against_o the_o present_a

themselves_o as_o from_o man_n whereas_o all_o that_o be_v faithful_a in_o that_o religion_n and_o devour_v in_o that_o will-worship_n do_v not_o scare_v but_o be_v more_o bold_a and_o confident_a under_o the_o power_n of_o that_o god_n know_v that_o every_o man_n shall_v be_v examine_v by_o name_n whether_o he_o be_v heretic_n if_o he_o be_v so_o find_v it_o be_v examine_v whether_o he_o will_v repent_v and_o conform_v to_o their_o will_n and_o not_o one_o shall_v perish_v without_o good_a trial_n such_o be_v the_o estate_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n our_o creator_n in_o the_o authority_n of_o his_o christ_n those_o of_o the_o world_n who_o heart_n condemn_v they_o of_o rebellion_n against_o the_o world_n and_o will_v of_o majestistie_n and_o do_v fear_n and_o shift_v to_o put_v off_o his_o excention_n whereas_o all_o that_o repent_v and_o be_v reconcile_v to_o he_o in_o all_o thing_n and_o know_v the_o reason_n of_o his_o judgement_n be_v safe_a from_o fear_n of_o the_o evil_n which_o be_v send_v against_o those_o which_o be_v from_o their_o maker_n for_o if_o man_n be_v so_o just_a as_o nor_o to_o condemn_v one_o that_o be_v no_o rebel_n or_o that_o will_v repent_v how_o shall_v we_o think_v that_o the_o executioner_n of_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n in_o the_o plague_n war_n or_o famine_n be_v careless_a to_o destroy_v any_o one_o without_o great_a cause_n the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n i_o have_v grieve_v to_o consider_v how_o man_n be_v deceive_v by_o the_o authority_n or_o god_n of_o this_o world_n in_o that_o they_o bring_v all_o both_o god_n and_o christ_n spirit_n and_o word_n subject_a to_o their_o judgement_n a_o thes._n 2.4_o so_o that_o whosoever_o pray_v in_o spirit_n subject_a to_o their_o spiritual_a authority_n they_o pray_v but_o to_o what_o they_o be_v servant_n unto_o which_o can_v help_v because_o it_o be_v the_o fear_n and_o authority_n of_o mortal_a man_n to_o who_o such_o spiritual_a service_n be_v do_v the_o only_a true_a god_n and_o his_o christ_n be_v despise_v the_o power_n and_o wisdom_n of_o man_n be_v exalt_v in_o their_o heart_n therefore_o if_o man_n do_v not_o hear_v and_o help_v there_o be_v not_o god_n to_o hear_v except_o it_o be_v to_o require_v vengeance_n for_o the_o abuse_n of_o his_o name_n and_o word_n 2_o i_o have_v consider_v that_o they_o which_o use_v the_o word_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n translate_v or_o preach_v in_o worldly_a glory_n under_o moral_a authority_n their_o estate_n be_v far_o more_o inexecusable_a than_o they_o which_o never_o use_v that_o word_n in_o way_n of_o prayer_n praise_n thanksgiving_n or_o spiritual_a worship_n because_o these_o do_v not_o so_o blaspheme_v god_n in_o christ_n as_o to_o give_v that_o honour_n unto_o man_n the_o creature_n which_o be_v due_a to_o the_o creator_n as_o the_o professor_n do_v 3._o i_o have_v observe_v how_o the_o wise_a man_n of_o this_o world_n do_v destroy_v their_o wisdom_n by_o their_o authority_n for_o in_o any_o doctrine_n of_o religion_n they_o will_v propose_v the_o holy_a scripture_n to_o be_v then_o wisdom_n and_o ground_n of_o truth_n but_o if_o their_o doctrine_n be_v oppose_v by_o any_o than_o they_o leave_v their_o wisdom_n and_o slay_v to_o their_o au●hority_n for_o help_v which_o show_v that_o their_o wisdom_n be_v but_o a_o pretence_n and_o that_o their_o authority_n be_v the_o pillar_n and_o ground_n of_o their_o church_n 4._o i_o have_v note_v also_o the_o deceit_n of_o man_n mind_n that_o not_o what_o he_o profess_v or_o pretend_v in_o word_n to_o be_v his_o god_n and_o christ_n be_v so_o to_o he_o but_o what_o he_o mind_v in_o his_o heart_n under_o such_o a_o pretence_n as_o if_o a_o man_n profess●_z the_o only_a true_a god_n or_o preach_v the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o indeed_o do_v mind_n another_o word_n or_o authority_n then_o of_o god_n or_o do_v seek_v meat_n for_o his_o belly_n under_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n christ_n in_o these_o case_n it_o be_v not_o what_o he_o speak_v but_o what_o he_o imagine_v mind_v and_o seek_v indeed_o which_o be_v his_o god_n and_o for_o the_o obtain_n of_o the_o desire_n of_o his_o mind_n he_o deny_v god_n in_o deed_n and_o all_o power_n of_o godliness_n 5._o whatsoever_o spiritual_a service_n or_o worship_v man_n perform_v as_o to_o god_n their_o read_n prayer_n cry_n howl_n tear_n and_o assemble_v in_o idol_n church_n be_v all_o turn_v into_o sin_n while_o they_o know_v not_o god_n but_o give_v that_o service_n to_o the_o world_n or_o authority_n of_o man_n which_o be_v only_o due_a unto_o god_n the_o creator_n of_o all_o man_n according_a to_o his_o word_n and_o will_n manifest_v from_o the_o beginning_n in_o christ_n the_o five_o day_n of_o the_o week_n the_o building_n and_o maintain_v of_o the_o heathen_a idol_n temple_n have_v be_v in_o enmity_n of_o the_o temple_n of_o our_o god_n in_o israel_n but_o now_o they_o be_v in_o contempt_n of_o the_o temple_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v his_o body_n endue_v with_o the_o holy_a spirit_n therefore_o all_o that_o partake_v of_o i_o doll-temple_n do_v seek_v their_o life_n and_o honour_n in_o the_o flesh_n under_o the_o persecutor_n and_o thereby_o turn_v the_o back_n in_o contempt_n of_o the_o reproach_n of_o christ_n they_o all_o deceive_v themselves_o in_o the_o flesh_n they_o seek_v to_o save_v themselves_o by_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o devil_n to_o kill_v whereas_o to_o deny_v their_o service_n be_v to_o deny_v one_o self_n for_o they_o will_v spoil_v one_o of_o all_o fjnjs_fw-la
