work_v faith_n in_o we_o rom._n 10_o 17_o by_o which_o we_o believe_v in_o christ_n then_o be_v not_o the_o word_n of_o god_n necessary_a to_o save_v where_o it_o be_v although_o god_n be_v able_a

not_o seek_v any_o extraordinary_a way_n than_o you_o say_v the_o way_n that_o god_n save_v man_n you_o will_v leave_v to_o he_o and_o every_o man_n experience_n when_o as_o you_o make_v it_o a_o article_n of_o your_o faith_n to_o believe_v that_o the_o law_n of_o god_n can_v be_v no_o instrumental_a mean_n to_o work_v any_o qualification_n as_o the_o law_n to_o fit_v the_o soul_n for_o the_o

believe_v that_o those_o which_o be_v believer_n be_v in_o truth_n real_o separate_v both_o in_o soul_n and_o body_n from_o all_o sin_n through_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o everlasting_a covenant_n but_o i_o much_o doubt_n of_o this_o you_o answer_v that_o you_o believe_v all_o sin_n be_v so_o take_v away_o by_o christ_n that_o it_o shall_v never_o hinder_v the_o salvation_n of_o any_o believer_n but_o this_o be_v not_o my_o doubt_n than_o you_o say_v for_o a_o believer_n to_o have_v no_o sin_n while_o he_o live_v in_o the_o flesh_n that_o you_o deny_v and_o so_o have_v cast_v away_o this_o article_n of_o your_o faith_n in_o which_o you_o have_v publish_v to_o the_o world_n that_o you_o believe_v that_o every_o believer_n be_v real_o separate_v from_o all_o sin_n both_o in_o body_n and_o soul_n by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n then_o for_o shame_n do_v not_o carry_v one_o face_n in_o private_a and_o another_o publickc_o to_o the_o world_n the_o three_o and_o thirty_o article_n you_o believe_v that_o christ_n have_v a_o spiritual_a kingdom_n here_o on_o earth_n which_o be_v his_o church_n that_o he_o have_v purchase_v and_o redeem_v but_o this_o i_o grant_v than_o you_o believe_v that_o this_o purchase_v redeem_v church_n of_o christ_n be_v visible_a and_o a_o company_n of_o saint_n call_v and_o separate_v from_o the_o world_n by_o the_o word_n and_o spirit_n of_o god_n to_o the_o visible_a profession_n of_o faith_n and_o the_o gospel_n and_o baptize_v in_o the_o faith_n and_o join_v to_o the_o lord_n and_o to_o each_o other_o by_o a_o mutual_a agreement_n in_o practical_a enjoyment_n of_o the_o ordinance_n command_v by_o christ_n their_o head_n and_o king_n but_o i_o much_o doubt_n of_o these_o thing_n than_o you_o answer_v say_v you_o believe_v that_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n be_v a_o purchase_a people_n call_v to_o their_o visible_a profession_n of_o he_o and_o for_o invisible_a thing_n you_o leave_v to_o god_n till_o he_o make_v they_o visible_a but_o here_o all_o man_n may_v see_v the_o falseness_n of_o your_o faith_n for_o when_o you_o shall_v bring_v it_o into_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n than_o you_o leave_v it_o but_o how_o dare_v you_o publish_v to_o the_o world_n that_o those_o who_o christ_n have_v purchase_v and_o redeem_v be_v visible_a make_v profession_n of_o faith_n and_o the_o gospel_n and_o baptize_v and_o join_v to_o the_o lord_n and_o to_o each_o other_o in_o the_o practical_a enjoyment_n of_o the_o ordinance_n when_o as_o know_v i_o put_v you_o to_o it_o you_o dare_v not_o stand_v to_o it_o but_o you_o will_v leave_v it_o to_o god_n and_o so_o you_o cast_v away_o this_o article_n also_o and_o i_o think_v if_o i_o shall_v go_v to_o all_o who_o hand_n be_v at_o they_o they_o will_v shuffle_v in_o the_o same_o manner_n and_o i_o will_v wish_v you_o to_o take_v they_o to_o help_v you_o and_o so_o if_o you_o can_v prove_v all_o the_o redeem_v of_o christ_n to_o be_v such_o i_o be_o sure_a he_o say_v himself_o other_o sheep_n i_o have_v which_o be_v not_o of_o this_o fold_n they_o i_o must_v bring_v in_o john_n 10.16_o then_o be_v all_o visible_a and_o call_v and_o already_o make_v

it_o to_o god_n when_o you_o be_v question_v for_o it_o but_o if_o your_o heart_n condemn_v you_o take_v heed_n of_o hypocrisy_n god_n be_v great_a than_o your_o heart_n and_o know_v all_o thing_n 1_o john_n 3.21_o the_o four_o and_o thirty_o article_n you_o believe_v that_o to_o this_o visible_a church_n all_o be_v bind_v to_o come_v and_o acknowledge_v christ_n to_o be_v their_o king_n priest_n

it_o ought_v to_o be_v so_o in_o you_o or_o in_o any_o visible_a church_n but_o you_o answer_v that_o you_o know_v not_o how_o any_o can_v be_v either_o son_n or_o servant_n of_o god_n that_o be_v not_o of_o his_o household_n this_o i_o grant_v to_o be_v true_a in_o the_o invisible_a church_n but_o as_o i_o prove_v before_o all_o be_v not_o visible_a so_o than_o their_o name_n ought_v to_o be_v

heb._n 12.27_o the_o six_o and_o thirty_o article_n you_o believe_v that_o every_o particular_a church_n have_v power_n to_o choose_v for_o themselves_o meet_v person_n into_o office_n and_o none_o

better_a the_o creature_n die_v then_o we_o shall_v want_v food_n yet_o we_o do_v not_o kill_v they_o as_o desire_v their_o destruction_n but_o to_o satisfy_v our_o hunger_n so_o do_v the_o lord_n

1_o cor._n 8.11_o 2_o pet._n 2.1_o i_o answer_v it_o be_v but_o in_o the_o judgement_n of_o charity_n that_o christ_n die_v or_o buy_v they_o but_o they_o say_v christ_n come_v not_o to_o judge_v the_o world_n but_o to_o save_v the_o world_n john_n 12.47_o 48._o therefore_o he_o die_v for_o all_o i_o answer_v while_o christ_n be_v mediator_n he_o be_v come_v to_o save_v the_o world_n and_o not_o to_o judge_v they_o that_o believe_v not_o but_o at_o the_o last_o day_n his_o word_n shall_v judge_v they_o and_o condemn_v they_o so_o then_o his_o first_o come_n be_v to_o save_v the_o

say_v the_o world_n be_v go_v after_o he_o john_n 12.19_o then_o they_o say_v god_n so_o love_v the_o world_n that_o he_o give_v they_o his_o only_o beget_v son_n and_o yet_o none_o be_v save_v but_o they_o that_o believe_v in_o he_o john_n 3.16_o hence_o say_v they_o christ_n be_v give_v to_o all_o and_o yet_o faith_n make_v the_o difference_n and_o have_v the_o promise_n of_o eternal_a life_n and_o not_o the_o other_o although_o christ_n die_v for_o they_o and_o god_n love_v to_o all_o and_o yet_o not_o all_o save_v but_o if_o god_n love_v they_o i_o will_v know_v what_o can_v hinder_v their_o salvation_n shall_v god_n beloved_a one_o perish_v so_o than_o their_o conclusion_n be_v this_o not_o he_o who_o god_n love_v shall_v be_v save_v but_o he_o that_o will_v of_o himself_o

to_o this_o they_o have_v a_o bundle_n of_o argument_n together_o as_o if_o they_o will_v prove_v that_o christ_n die_v for_o all_o and_o every_o man_n in_o the_o world_n although_o the_o great_a

the_o parlinment_n by_o a_o positive_a law_n of_o the_o land_n will_v command_v that_o this_o government_n shall_v be_v observe_v and_o no_o other_o but_o when_o all_o the_o assembly_n or_o the_o
