to_o be_v his_o soldier_n and_o by_o that_o mystery_n do_v bind_v ourselves_o as_o fast_o as_o any_o vow_n or_o oath_n can_v tie_v we_o and_o be_v thus_o bind_v if_o we_o be_v desertores_fw-la militiae_fw-la forsaker_n of_o our_o christian_a profession_n and_o become_v flat_a apostate_n we_o then_o be_v more_o guilty_a than_o if_o we_o have_v never_o contract_v with_o god_n to_o serve_v he_o which_o to_o do_v we_o be_v even_o bind_v by_o baptism_n and_o herein_o many_o of_o we_o do_v diverse_a way_n infringe_v the_o vow_n we_o make_v in_o baptism_n flee_v from_o the_o camp_n of_o christ_n into_o the_o tent_n of_o satan_n there_o be_v see_v among_o we_o god_n be_v thank_v that_o renounce_v their_o profession_n universal_o yet_o many_o do_v daily_o slide_v to_o popery_n which_o as_o i_o say_v though_o it_o be_v not_o a_o total_a defection_n yet_o it_o be_v a_o aberration_n from_o christ_n and_o that_o a_o gross_a one_o but_o where_o christian_n do_v border_n upon_o the_o turk_n it_o be_v no_o news_n to_o see_v christian_n turn_v turk_n these_o be_v apostate_n and_o runagate_n soldier_n out_o of_o christ_n camp_n but_o though_o there_o be_v none_o such_o among_o we_o yet_o be_v there_o disobedient_a soldier_n who_o stand_v be_v in_o god_n camp_n but_o they_o fight_v the_o devil_n battle_n such_o be_v all_o notorious_a and_o scandalous_a sinner_n who_o may_v carry_v god_n mark_n in_o their_o forehead_n but_o be_v the_o devil_n servant_n in_o their_o action_n who_o i_o wish_v if_o any_o such_o be_v here_o to_o repent_v and_o consider_v what_o a_o shameful_a thing_n it_o be_v after_o that_o they_o have_v receive_v god_n press-money_n &_o have_v be_v bring_v up_o in_o his_o camp_n to_o be_v at_o covenant_n with_o satan_n death_n and_o hell_n of_o all_o other_o hypocrite_n as_o they_o be_v of_o the_o great_a number_n so_o be_v they_o in_o the_o most_o danger_n because_o under_o pretence_n of_o fight_a god_n battle_n they_o betray_v the_o whole_a army_n to_o the_o enemy_n and_o yet_o i_o know_v not_o whether_o i_o shall_v say_v that_o such_o as_o these_o be_v of_o the_o camp_n nay_o rather_o as_o some_o say_v they_o be_v but_o in_o the_o camp_n not_o of_o the_o camp_n not_o of_o the_o church_n but_o in_o the_o church_n and_o as_o s._n john_n speak_v 2.19_o 1._o john_n 2.19_o some_o such_o be_v go_v out_o from_o we_o but_o they_o be_v not_o of_o we_o for_o if_o they_o have_v be_v of_o we_o they_o will_v have_v continue_v with_o we_o or_o if_o they_o be_v member_n of_o the_o church_n they_o be_v but_o member_n of_o the_o visible_a church_n in_o which_o there_o be_v tare_n and_o wheat_n sheep_n and_o goat_n vessel_n of_o honour_n and_o vessel_n of_o dishonour_n but_o how_o they_o shall_v be_v actual_o member_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n which_o be_v the_o society_n of_o the_o faithful_a and_o the_o mystical_a body_n of_o christ_n i_o can_v see_v our_o adversary_n who_o will_v not_o grant_v the_o difference_n between_o the_o visible_a and_o invisible_a church_n say_v that_o the_o outward_a profession_n of_o faith_n do_v make_v one_o a_o member_n of_o christ_n body_n and_o that_o no_o internal_a virtue_n be_v require_v thereunto_o but_o when_o we_o object_n unto_o they_o such_o scandalous_a and_o gross_a sinner_n and_o close_a and_o hide_a hypocrite_n as_o lurk_v in_o the_o body_n of_o the_o church_n then_o be_v they_o drive_v to_o their_o poor_a shift_n for_o they_o affirm_v that_o such_o be_v member_n though_o dead_a member_n of_o christ_n body_n these_o say_v they_o be_v dead_a member_n other_o call_v they_o not_o member_n but_o part_n or_o excrement_n in_o the_o body_n as_o all_o our_o nail_n and_o hair_n be_v but_o corrupt_a humour_n in_o the_o body_n like_o biles_fw-la or_o inflammation_n but_o how_o any_o such_o shall_v be_v the_o member_n of_o christ_n or_o appertain_v to_o his_o mystical_a body_n be_v beyond_o my_o reach_n for_o of_o the_o body_n christ_n be_v the_o head_n who_o give_v life_n and_o sustenance_n to_o every_o member_n of_o it_o man_n that_o continue_v obstinate_o in_o any_o gross_a sin_n be_v the_o member_n of_o satan_n and_o how_o they_o shall_v be_v actual_o the_o member_n of_o christ_n i_o see_v not_o true_a it_o be_v that_o such_o may_v appertain_v to_o god_n election_n and_o they_o may_v be_v call_v as_o saint_n augustine_n speak_v electi_fw-la secundum_fw-la propositum_fw-la suum_fw-la elect_v according_o to_o his_o purpose_n for_o so_o i_o see_v the_o scripture_n speak_v but_o actual_o they_o be_v not_o the_o member_n of_o christ_n till_o they_o be_v call_v sanctify_a and_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n neither_o can_v a_o man_n have_v any_o comfort_n in_o christ_n either_o in_o regard_n of_o a_o historical_a faith_n or_o of_o baptism_n till_o he_o repent_v and_o become_v a_o true_a soldier_n to_o christ_n to_o which_o his_o baptism_n do_v bind_v he_o and_o therefore_o if_o you_o wish_v to_o be_v save_v add_v to_o faith_n and_o baptism_n good-worke_n which_o though_o in_o this_o place_n they_o be_v not_o mention_v yet_o be_v they_o comprehend_v neither_o can_v i_o give_v better_a counsel_n to_o you_o than_o john_n baptist_n do_v to_o the_o people_n when_o they_o come_v to_o be_v baptize_v of_o he_o for_o when_o they_o ask_v he_o what_o they_o shall_v do_v to_o be_v save_v he_o answer_v let_v he_o that_o have_v two_o
