husbandry_n the_o word_n of_o 118._o his_o kingdom_n when_o the_o lord_n jesus_n send_v out_o his_o apostle_n to_o gather_v church_n 20._o the_o only_a mean_n which_o come_v into_o his_o heart_n be_v the_o teach_n or_o make_v of_o man_n disciple_n and_o the_o apostle_n to_o the_o ephes_n witness_v that_o the_o church_n or_o ●0_n temple_n of_o god_n be_v build_v upon_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o

father_n &_o another_o so_o may_v i_o not_o for_o procreant_a parent_n of_o the_o church_n it_o be_v unreasonable_a to_o affirm_v that_o civil_a cause_n as_o be_v their_o compulsive_a law_n shall_v

to_o compel_v they_o by_o the_o efficacy_n of_o the_o 12_o word_n which_o be_v mighty_a in_o operation_n to_o the_o obedience_n of_o faith_n last_o what_o compulsive_a law_n soever_o the_o magistrate_n may_v make_v or_o execute_v it_o be_v a_o vile_a error_n to_o think_v &_o a_o sinful_a flattery_n to_o bear_v they_o in_o hand_n that_o they_o have_v power_n from_o god_n to_o compel_v a_o apparent_o 300_o flagious_a person_n to_o enter_v into_o the_o church_n of_o god_n and_o the_o church_n so_o to_o receive_v and_o continue_v he_o the_o minister_n 3._o exception_n that_o their_o

of_o the_o compulsion_n of_o all_o the_o flagitious_a person_n in_o the_o nation_n to_o join_v &_o continue_v member_n of_o it_o drive_v they_o to_o this_o absurd_a assertion_n that_o the_o whole_a

the_o truth_n teach_v in_o rome_n have_v be_v effectual_a to_o the_o save_n of_o many_o for_o which_o also_o there_o have_v many_o of_o they_o and_o no_o doubt_n will_v many_o more_o if_o there_o be_v
