god_n to_o define_v it_o it_o be_v a_o company_n of_o believer_n and_o regenerate_v person_n which_o god_n gather_v together_o in_o christ_n by_o the_o word_n in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o the_o

wherefore_o of_o they_o the_o apostle_n john_n say_v they_o go_v out_o from_o we_o but_o be_v not_o of_o we_o the_o apostle_n paul_n in_o the_o first_o chapter_n of_o the_o corinthian_n the_o first_o epistle_n after_o he_o have_v salute_v the_o church_n of_o god_n add_v by_o exposition_n unto_o they_o which_o be_v sanctify_v by_o jesus_n christ_n call_v to_o be_v saint_n that_o we_o may_v understand_v in_o very_a deed_n that_o the_o wicked_a appertain_v not_o to_o the_o church_n although_o they_o be_v always_o conversant_a therein_o and_o this_o we_o may_v confess_v to_o be_v a_o true_a church_n which_o be_v call_v the_o communion_n of_o saint_n there_o be_v some_o of_o our_o time_n nay_o questionless_a many_o of_o god_n child_n conclude_v that_o the_o true_a church_n be_v not_o to_o be_v know_v as_o they_o be_v mix_v together_o but_o we_o may_v deny_v it_o to_o be_v a_o firm_a conclusion_n there_o be_v proper_a mark_n assign_v by_o which_o the_o same_o may_v be_v very_o well_o know_v without_o the_o separate_a assembly_n for_o whereby_o the_o pureness_n of_o doctrine_n flourish_v the_o sacrament_n be_v pure_o minister_v and_o discipline_n exercise_v that_o

know_v among_o mortal_a man_n and_o we_o as_o the_o apostle_n do_v declare_v unto_o the_o colossian_n chapter_n 3._o vers_fw-la 3.4_o we_o have_v our_o life_n hide_v with_o god_n and_o when_o christ_n which_o be_v our_o life_n shall_v appear_v than_o we_o also_o shall_v be_v make_v manifest_a with_o he_o in_o glory_n we_o read_v in_o the_o first_o book_n of_o samuel_n 16.7_o it_o be_v god_n that_o

member_n of_o christ_n we_o may_v as_o well_o say_v a_o dead_a man_n be_v a_o man_n i_o do_v confess_v indeed_o by_o christ_n and_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n he_o may_v be_v restore_v unto_o life_n but_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n while_o that_o be_v not_o do_v we_o will_v not_o grant_v he_o to_o be_v the_o member_n of_o christ_n unless_o we_o shall_v judge_v by_o the_o form_n and_o outward_a show_n some_o may_v perhaps_o say_v how_o paul_n may_v true_o call_v the_o church_n of_o the_o corinthian_n and_o church_n of_o god_n the_o which_o be_v so_o infect_v with_o so_o many_o vice_n but_o it_o may_v be_v understand_v that_o all_o they_o which_o be_v there_o be_v not_o utter_o corrupt_v many_o good_a man_n remain_v further_o they_o be_v instruct_v with_o pure_a doctrine_n and_o they_o retain_v the_o sacrament_n holy_a and_o pure_o and_o the_o godly_a labour_v much_o about_o the_o convert_n of_o they_o for_o we_o know_v that_o paul_n be_v admonish_v by_o they_o of_o cloas_n that_o he_o shall_v prevent_v the_o evil_n that_o be_v then_o break_v forth_o 1_o corinth_n 1.11_o beside_o paul_n have_v a_o respect_n to_o the_o testimony_n of_o god_n who_o have_v say_v unto_o he_o that_o in_o the_o same_o city_n he_o have_v much_o people_n moreover_o by_o this_o you_o may_v understand_v that_o the_o church_n of_o god_n do_v not_o so_o fall_v away_o for_o every_o blemish_n as_o that_o it_o shall_v no_o more_o be_v call_v the_o church_n of_o god_n and_o because_o now_o adays_o the_o prelate_n of_o our_o time_n have_v oppose_v the_o rule_n of_o christ_n which_o he_o have_v lay_v down_o by_o his_o word_n how_o his_o member_n shall_v be_v govern_v but_o this_o precious_a word_n the_o gospel_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n these_o prelate_n i_o mean_v these_o primate_n
