take_v up_o his_o cross_n and_o follow_v he_o can_v be_v his_o disciple_n so_o than_o infant_n be_v not_o capable_a so_o to_o do_v can_v be_v christ_n disciple_n but_o such_o as_o be_v to_o be_v baptize_v must_v first_o be_v teach_v and_o make_v disciple_n and_o then_o baptize_v as_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v in_o the_o word_n baptize_v they_o that_o be_v such_o as_o before_o have_v be_v teach_v and_o make_v disciple_n from_o whence_o you_o may_v see_v that_o disciple_n viz._n believe_a man_n and_o woman_n may_v and_o aught_o to_o be_v baptize_v it_o be_v the_o last_o will_n and_o testament_n of_o the_o great_a lawgiver_n who_o also_o say_v that_o he_o that_o believe_v and_o be_v baptize_v shall_v be_v save_v mark_v 16.15_o 16._o and_o so_o i_o come_v to_o the_o second_o reason_n which_o be_v reas_n 2._o because_o disciple_n viz._n believer_n be_v the_o subject_n that_o christ_n and_o the_o apostle_n baptize_v and_o we_o be_v to_o follow_v their_o step_n and_o now_o to_o prove_v that_o christ_n and_o the_o apostle_n do_v baptize_v such_o read_z john_n 4.1_o when_o the_o lord_n know_v that_o the_o pharisee_n have_v hear_v that_o jesus_n make_v and_o baptize_v more_o disciple_n than_o john_n though_o jesus_n baptize_v not_o but_o his_o disciple_n from_o whence_o we_o may_v see_v that_o jesus_n make_v disciple_n before_o he_o do_v baptize_v they_o and_o also_o we_o see_v it_o be_v the_o apostle_n and_o disciple_n practise_v so_o to_o do_v as_o acts._n 8.12_o it_o be_v say_v that_o when_o the_o samaritan_n do_v believe_v they_o be_v baptize_v man_n and_o woman_n but_o no_o mention_n at_o all_o of_o child_n so_o than_o believer_n be_v the_o subject_n who_o be_v to_o be_v baptize_v reas_n 3._o three_o believer_n be_v the_o subject_n because_o none_o be_v account_v as_o member_n in_o the_o new_a covenant_n so_o as_o to_o have_v right_a to_o gospel_n administration_n but_o such_o as_o know_v the_o lord_n viz._n believe_v in_o his_o name_n for_o so_o say_v the_o scripture_n heb._n 8._o for_o this_o be_v the_o covenant_n that_o i_o make_v after_o those_o day_n say_v the_o lord_n they_o shall_v not_o teach_v every_o one_o his_o neighbour_n and_o every_o man_n his_o brother_n say_v know_v the_o lord_n for_o they_o shall_v know_v i_o from_o the_o least_o even_o to_o the_o great_a from_o whence_o we_o see_v that_o the_o least_o member_n in_o the_o gospel-covenant_n must_v know_v the_o lord_n but_o child_n of_o seven_o or_o eight_o day_n old_a know_v he_o not_o and_o therefore_o have_v not_o right_a to_o gospel-administrations_a only_a believer_n that_o know_v god_n for_o they_o shall_v all_o know_v he_o from_o the_o least_o to_o the_o great_a as_o say_v the_o text_n and_o so_o i_o pass_v to_o the_o four_o reason_n which_o be_v reas_n 4._o because_o those_o that_o have_v right_a to_o be_v baptise_a may_v and_o aught_o to_o eat_v the_o lord_n supper_n the_o which_o be_v not_o meet_v for_o child_n to_o do_v for_o it_o be_v a_o feast_n that_o believer_n only_o have_v a_o right_a to_o partake_v of_o but_o all_o baptize_v once_o even_o such_o as_o have_v right_a to_o the_o new_a covenant_n have_v right_a to_o the_o supper_n and_o all_o other_o covenant_n privilege_n for_o so_o say_v the_o scripture_n act_v 2.41_o 42._o then_o they_o that_o glad_o receive_v the_o word_n be_v baptize_v and_o the_o same_o day_n be_v add_v to_o the_o church_n about_o three_o thousand_o soul_n and_o they_o continue_v steadfast_a in_o the_o apostle_n doctrine_n and_o fellowship_n and_o in_o break_v of_o bread_n and_o prayer_n from_o whence_o we_o see_v that_o no_o more_o be_v baptize_v but_o those_o that_o glad_o receive_v the_o word_n and_o they_o that_o be_v baptize_v continue_v in_o the_o apostle_n doctrine_n in_o fellowship_n and_o in_o break_v of_o bread_n viz._n the_o lord_n supper_n and_o prayer_n therefore_o believe_v man_n and_o woman_n and_o not_o child_n be_v the_o right_a subject_n of_o baptism_n and_o aught_o to_o be_v baptize_v they_o have_v a_o command_n enjoin_v they_o thereunto_o and_o so_o i_o pass_v to_o the_o five_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o disciple_n viz._n believe_a man_n and_o woman_n be_v the_o only_a fit_a subject_n of_o baptism_n which_o be_v reas_n 5._o because_o christ_n be_v baptize_v when_o he_o come_v to_o be_v of_o year_n of_o discretion_n be_v about_o thirty_o year_n old_a as_o you_o may_v read_v luk._n 3._o and_o christ_n be_v give_v to_o be_v a_o leader_n to_o his_o people_n isa_n 55.4_o now_o if_o christ_n be_v not_o baptize_v before_o he_o come_v to_o be_v of_o year_n of_o discretion_n and_o he_o give_v to_o lead_v we_o a_o example_n than_o we_o ought_v not_o also_o to_o be_v baptize_v till_o we_o be_v of_o year_n of_o discretion_n and_o so_o follow_v his_o step_n the_o former_a of_o these_o be_v true_a and_o the_o consequence_n can_v in_o truth_n be_v deny_v and_o so_o i_o pass_v to_o the_o six_o reason_n to_o prove_v believer_n the_o only_a subject_n of_o baptism_n reas_n 6._o because_o repentance_n and_o confession_n of_o sin_n be_v require_v of_o person_n before_o baptism_n be_v administer_v unto_o they_o for_o such_o be_v the_o baptism_n of_o john_n when_o he_o be_v to_o prepare_v a_o people_n for_o the_o lord_n although_o the_o people_n which_o he_o baptize_v be_v the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n and_o so_o in_o the_o old_a covenant_n yet_o they_o come_v to_o john_n and_o confess_v their_o sin_n and_o be_v baptize_v and_o it_o be_v call_v the_o baptism_n of_o repentance_n and_o when_o they_o will_v have_v be_v baptize_v upon_o the_o account_n of_o be_v abraham_n seed_n and_o child_n of_o the_o covenant_n john_n do_v reprove_v they_o say_v o_o generation_n of_o viper_n who_o have_v forewarn_v you_o to_o flee_v from_o the_o wrath_n to_o come_v bring_v forth_o fruit_n worthy_a of_o amendment_n of_o life_n and_o do_v not_o begin_v to_o say_v you_o have_v abraham_n to_o your_o father_n for_o god_n be_v able_a of_o these_o stone_n to_o raise_v up_o child_n unto_o abraham_n and_o now_o be_v the_o axe_n lay_v to_o the_o root_n of_o the_o tree_n and_o every_o tree_n which_o bring_v not_o forth_o good_a fruit_n be_v hew_v down_o etc._n etc._n peruse_v this_o diligent_o and_o you_o may_v see_v that_o there_o be_v no_o admission_n unto_o baptism_n without_o repentance_n and_o it_o be_v the_o very_a same_o doctrine_n that_o peter_n teach_v act_v 2.38_o repent_v and_o be_v baptize_v every_o one_o of_o you_o for_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o you_o shall_v receive_v the_o gift_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n hence_o you_o see_v there_o be_v repentance_n require_v of_o ever_o one_o that_o be_v baptise_a and_o this_o be_v acknowledge_v by_o the_o old_a catechism_n and_o book_n of_o common_a prayer_n and_o hence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o old_a godfather_n and_o godmother_n as_o we_o be_v wont_a to_o call_v they_o do_v confess_v our_o sin_n for_o we_o it_o be_v a_o wicked_a deceive_a invention_n of_o pope_n ignatius_n whereby_o thousand_o of_o poor_a soul_n be_v deceive_v the_o pope_n invent_v it_o and_o the_o priest_n ready_o receive_v it_o and_o it_o be_v a_o custom_n the_o people_n love_v to_o have_v it_o so_o the_o priest_n be_v to_o ask_v the_o child_n whether_o it_o will_v forsake_v the_o devil_n and_o all_o his_o work_n and_o the_o godfather_n or_o surety_n be_v to_o answer_v in_o the_o behalf_n of_o the_o child_n as_o though_o the_o priest_n be_v a_o juglor_n and_o have_v juggle_v the_o man_n voice_n into_o the_o child_n say_v this_o be_v our_o or_o my_o desire_n and_o then_o ask_v if_o it_o will_v be_v baptise_a and_o the_o answer_n be_v return_v again_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o person_n of_o the_o child_n that_o it_o be_v its_o desire_n when_o it_o be_v far_o from_o desire_v any_o such_o thing_n and_o so_o far_o be_v the_o surety_n themselves_o from_o forsake_v the_o devil_n and_o all_o his_o work_n and_o from_o be_v believer_n that_o some_o be_v drunkard_n some_o swearer_n and_o some_o whore-monger_n and_o yet_o do_v dare_v by_o the_o mean_n of_o the_o pope_n his_o clergy_n to_o tell_v god_n who_o be_v the_o searcher_n of_o all_o heart_n that_o they_o do_v believe_v and_o forsake_v the_o devil_n and_o all_o his_o work_n and_o yet_o be_v lead_v captive_a by_o he_o at_o his_o will._n consider_v o_o you_o blind_a priest_n how_o you_o deceive_v the_o people_n and_o make_v they_o believe_v they_o do_v well_o and_o worship_v god_n when_o they_o tell_v lie_n in_o the_o face_n of_o the_o congregation_n and_o so_o do_v worship_v the_o devil_n do_v you_o ever_o read_v of_o such_o a_o practice_n in_o the_o primitive_a time_n no_o sure_o god_n soul_n abhor_v you_o but_o courteous_a reader_n hence_o thou_o may_v see_v that_o the_o
not_o a_o fit_a subject_n for_o baptism_n for_o baptism_n represent_v a_o death_n and_o burial_n of_o the_o old_a man_n and_o a_o rise_n to_o life_n in_o the_o new_a man_n which_o can_v be_v represent_v by_o a_o infant_n be_v sprinkle_v but_o by_o a_o believer_n be_v baptize_v so_o then_o for_o as_o much_o as_o baptism_n be_v a_o visible_a demonstration_n of_o a_o covenant_n make_v between_o god_n and_o the_o soul_n wherein_o the_o soul_n promise_v to_o put_v on_o christ_n and_o walk_v in_o he_o and_o god_n promise_v to_o give_v he_o his_o holy_a spirit_n to_o assist_v he_o in_o his_o so_o walk_v which_o show_v that_o the_o person_n thus_o covenant_v in_o baptism_n must_v be_v a_o believer_n and_o so_o i_o pass_v to_o the_o 10._o and_o last_o reason_n that_o at_o present_a i_o shall_v represent_v unto_o you_o to_o prove_v that_o believer_n be_v the_o only_a fit_a subject_n of_o baptism_n which_o be_v reas_n 10._o because_o without_o faith_n it_o be_v unprofitable_a for_o any_o to_o appear_v before_o god_n in_o any_o gospel_n ordinance_n for_o without_o faith_n they_o can_v please_v he_o in_o their_o so_o appear_v before_o he_o heb._n 11.6_o for_o he_o that_o come_v so_o to_o god_n must_v believe_v that_o he_o be_v a_o rewarder_n of_o all_o they_o that_o diligent_o seek_v he_o hence_o the_o three_o thousand_o believe_a and_o glad_o receive_v the_o word_n be_v baptize_v the_o samaritan_n believe_v also_o be_v baptize_v simon_n believe_v be_v baptize_v act._n 8._o and_o the_o eunuch_n also_o with_o the_o jailor_n household_n and_o without_o faith_n or_o profession_n of_o faith_n at_o the_o least_o none_o be_v admit_v to_o baptism_n although_o that_o they_o be_v in_o the_o first_o covenant_n be_v abraham_n seed_n to_o who_o be_v the_o promise_n yet_o they_o come_v not_o to_o john_n baptism_n without_o confession_n of_o sin_n and_o be_v instruct_v in_o the_o messiah_n which_o be_v to_o come_v as_o you_o may_v read_v mat._n 3._o and_o luk._n 3._o at_o large_a and_o thus_o of_o old_a be_v the_o practice_n of_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o prepare_v a_o temple_n for_o the_o lord_n of_o sanctify_a stone_n build_v up_o a_o spiritual_a house_n a_o peculiar_a people_n to_o offer_v spiritual_a sacrifice_n to_o god_n 1_o pet._n 1.9_o which_o clear_o prove_v that_o if_o the_o build_n of_o god_n in_o gospel-time_n be_v a_o build_n through_o the_o spirit_n eph._n 2.19.12_o then_o spiritual_a believe_v man_n and_o woman_n be_v the_o person_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v the_o subject_n baptize_v and_o be_v such_o fit_a matter_n and_o so_o fit_o join_v together_o grow_v to_o be_v a_o holy_a temple_n for_o the_o lord_n for_o as_o the_o stone_n that_o solomon_n temple_n be_v build_v of_o be_v hew_v in_o hieroms_n country_n

instruct_v of_o they_o and_o then_o to_o baptize_v they_o and_o such_o as_o do_v glad_o receive_v the_o word_n be_v baptize_v and_o so_o the_o lord_n add_v to_o his_o church_n daily_o such_o as_o shall_v be_v save_v and_o this_o be_v the_o way_n of_o god_n of_o old_a and_o be_v the_o way_n and_o will_v for_o ever_o be_v find_v to_o be_v the_o right_a way_n of_o jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v the_o same_o yesterday_o to_o day_n and_o for_o ever_o therefore_o be_v not_o carry_v away_o with_o the_o invention_n of_o man_n but_o walk_v as_o you_o have_v have_v christ_n and_o the_o apostle_n for_o a_o example_n do_v all_o thing_n according_a to_o the_o primitive_a pattern_n in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o as_o many_o as_o walk_v according_a to_o that_o rule_n peace_n shall_v be_v

infant_n as_o such_o be_v not_o fit_a subject_n of_o baptism_n in_o the_o discourse_n of_o which_o i_o shall_v answer_v my_o antagonist_n in_o his_o allege_v text_n of_o scripture_n with_o several_a more_o objection_n of_o that_o nature_n which_o be_v not_o allege_v in_o his_o book_n and_o now_o brief_o to_o the_o reason_n which_o show_v that_o infant_n be_v not_o fit_a subject_n for_o to_o be_v baptise_a and_o so_o to_o the_o first_o reason_n which_o be_v reas_n 1._o because_o god_n have_v no_o where_n in_o scripture_n appoint_v infant_n to_o be_v baptise_a either_o by_o precept_n or_o by_o the_o example_n of_o the_o apostle_n whole_a step_n we_o be_v to_o follow_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o unlawful_a practice_n for_o whosoever_o add_v to_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n god_n will_v add_v the_o plague_n which_o be_v write_v and_o the_o prophet_n that_o shall_v presume_v to_o speak_v a_o word_n in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n which_o he_o have_v not_o command_v the_o

as_o for_o god_n way_n as_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n it_o be_v very_o plain_a and_o perfect_a as_o witness_v that_o ordinance_n of_o circumcision_n there_o be_v the_o manner_n of_o circumcision_n and_o the_o person_n which_o be_v to_o be_v circumcise_a plain_o discover_v as_o the_o foreskin_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o the_o child_n of_o abraham_n and_o the_o time_n when_o even_o at_o eight_o day_n old_a nay_o his_o servant_n and_o slave_n be_v to_o be_v circumcise_a and_o in_o a_o word_n no_o uncircumcised_a person_n must_v abide_v in_o that_o land_n nor_o be_v account_v of_o abraham_n family_n which_o show_v that_o in_o a_o spiritual_a sense_n none_o can_v be_v account_v abraham_n seed_n but_o such_o as_o be_v circumcise_a in_o heart_n viz._n those_o that_o have_v the_o vayl_n of_o ignorance_n and_o unbelief_n take_v away_o from_o off_o their_o heart_n which_o cause_v the_o apostle_n to_o say_v that_o abraham_n believe_v god_n and_o it_o be_v account_v unto_o he_o for_o righteousness_n know_v you_o therefore_o say_v he_o that_o they_o which_o be_v of_o faith_n the_o same_o be_v the_o child_n of_o abraham_n so_o than_o infant_n not_o have_v the_o vail_n of_o ignorance_n and_o unbelief_n take_v from_o off_o their_o heart_n can_v be_v account_v of_o abraham_n family_n for_o he_o receive_v circumcision_n as_o a_o seal_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o that_o faith_n which_o he_o receive_v before_o circumcision_n that_o he_o may_v be_v the_o father_n of_o all_o they_o which_o do_v believe_v gal._n 3.7_o rom._n 4.11_o so_o then_o circumcision_n be_v a_o seal_n of_o the_o fatherhood_n of_o the_o faithful_a unto_o abraham_n therefore_o the_o faithful_a only_o be_v abraham_n seed_n which_o can_v be_v infant_n because_o they_o have_v not_o faith_n and_o that_o they_o have_v not_o faith_n be_v clear_a because_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o faith_n and_o that_o one_o faith_n be_v wrought_v in_o the_o soul_n by_o hear_v the_o

pass_v to_o the_o next_o reason_n which_o be_v abraham_n receive_v it_o as_o a_o seal_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n but_o none_o of_o his_o seed_n do_v receive_v it_o as_o a_o seal_n

thing_n represent_v or_o the_o figure_n of_o the_o thing_n call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o the_o thing_n figure_v and_o hence_o we_o may_v see_v although_o i_o can_v say_v much_o more_o of_o thing_n

that_o christ_n do_v not_o say_v in_o so_o many_o word_n that_o john_n shall_v not_o die_v for_o if_o he_o have_v it_o may_v have_v beget_v some_o dislike_n and_o murmur_v among_o his_o disciple_n

of_o and_o liable_a to_o the_o second_o death_n which_o i_o shall_v prove_v by_o several_a plain_n and_o evident_a reason_n draw_v from_o the_o scripture_n but_o before_o i_o speak_v unto_o it_o be_v

20.14_o for_o i_o do_v believe_v that_o the_o wage_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n but_o as_o there_o be_v a_o twofold_a covenant_n so_o there_o be_v a_o twofold_a death_n viz._n a_o first_o and_o second_o

we_o may_v read_v the_o threaten_n gen._n 2.17_o in_o these_o word_n but_o of_o the_o tree_n of_o knowledge_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a thou_o shall_v not_o eat_v of_o it_o for_o in_o the_o day_n

thou_o but_o shall_v pass_v to_o some_o few_o reason_n to_o prove_v man_n whole_o mortal_a and_o the_o first_o be_v reas_n 1._o first_o because_o christ_n die_v soul_n and_o body_n to_o purchase_v our_o soul_n and_o body_n from_o the_o grave_n and_o if_o christ_n soul_n die_v it_o be_v real_o to_o that_o end_n that_o our_o soul_n may_v not_o lie_v in_o the_o grave_n and_o if_o we_o have_v dye_v only_o in_o body_n than_o christ_n have_v dye_v only_o in_o body_n but_o the_o whole_a man_n be_v mortal_a and_o return_v to_o dust_n christ_n also_o pour_v out_o his_o soul_n to_o death_n and_o make_v his_o soul_n a_o offering_n for_o sin_n as_o say_v the_o prophet_n isa_n 53.10_o when_o thou_o shall_v make_v his_o soul_n a_o offering_n for_o sin_n he_o shall_v see_v his_o seed_n mark_v that_o he_o shall_v prolong_v his_o day_n and_o the_o pleasure_n of_o the_o lord_n shall_v prosper_v in_o his_o hand_n 12._o because_o he_o have_v pour_v out_o his_o soul_n to_o death_n and_o he_o be_v number_v with_o the_o stranger_n and_o he_o bear_v the_o sin_n of_o many_o etc._n etc._n from_o hence_o we_o see_v that_o christ_n soul_n die_v that_o we_o may_v live_v again_o and_o not_o be_v leave_v in_o the_o grave_n which_o prove_v that_o our_o soul_n be_v mortal_a and_o die_v and_o so_o i_o pass_v to_o the_o second_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o whole_a man_n be_v mortal_a which_o be_v reas_n 2._o second_o because_o if_o man_n body_n be_v mortal_a and_o that_o die_v and_o his_o soul_n immortal_a &_o that_o live_v than_o man_n have_v two_o life_n &_o two_o distinct_a

and_o when_o they_o find_v christ_n dead_a already_o they_o break_v not_o his_o leg_n the_o which_o impli_v clear_o that_o the_o other_o two_o malefactor_n be_v not_o dead_a and_o also_o take_v

therefore_o that_o they_o may_v not_o make_v a_o escape_n but_o die_v according_a to_o the_o law_n they_o break_v their_o leg_n and_o then_o by_o their_o so_o do_v there_o can_v be_v no_o mean_n of_o

they_o do_v die_v the_o same_o day_n for_o man_n may_v lie_v a_o whole_a day_n nay_o they_o may_v lie_v day_n with_o their_o leg_n break_v before_o they_o die_v and_o i_o do_v dare_v presume_v to_o

be_v dead_a that_o day_n it_o can_v be_v prove_v that_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o penitent_a thief_n be_v that_o day_n in_o heaven_n moreover_o consider_v christ_n do_v not_o tell_v the_o thief_n that_o

and_o to_o administer_v comfort_n and_o assurance_n unto_o he_o say_v i_o say_v unto_o thou_o to_o day_n thou_o shall_v be_v with_o i_o in_o paradise_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v to_o he_o thou_o desire_v i_o to_o remember_v thou_o when_o i_o come_v into_o my_o kingdom_n but_o to_o put_v thou_o out_o of_o doubt_n i_o will_v tell_v thou_o at_o present_a or_o to_o day_n to_o thy_o

that_o the_o soul_n be_v in_o some_o place_n to_o be_v understand_v blood_n be_v clear_a because_o the_o life_n or_o blood_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v all_o one_o in_o many_o place_n and_o so_o it_o be_v say_v that_o christ_n make_v his_o soul_n a_o offering_n for_o sin_n and_o that_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v his_o life_n or_o more_o proper_o his_o blood_n for_o without_o blood_n there_o be_v no_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o also_o i_o have_v before_o show_v that_o the_o greek_a word_n soul_n bear_v such_o a_o signification_n as_o blood_n and_o if_o so_o it_o be_v very_o proper_a for_o the_o soul_n viz._n blood_n to_o cry_v for_o vengeance_n for_o so_o do_v abel_n blood_n cry_v for_o vengeance_n against_o cain_n and_o also_o christ_n blood_n do_v cry_v for_o vengeance_n against_o such_o as_o be_v guilty_a of_o it_o by_o trample_v it_o under_o foot_n although_o it_o do_v speak_v for_o the_o penitent_a better_a thing_n than_o the_o blood_n of_o abel_n and_o thus_o we_o be_v to_o understand_v that_o sixth_o chapter_n of_o the_o revelation_n that_o after_o the_o red_a horse_n and_o he_o that_o sit_v upon_o he_o with_o the_o great_a sword_n have_v take_v peace_n from_o the_o

which_o john_n see_v and_o declare_v when_o he_o say_v i_o see_v the_o soul_n which_o be_v slay_v for_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o testimony_n which_o they_o hold_v and_o so_o i_o pass_v to_o

the_o key_n be_v the_o same_o with_o the_o church_n answ_n the_o particular_n considerable_a be_v these_o as_o first_o there_o be_v a_o angel_n that_o have_v usurp_v all_o church_n power_n into_o

fall_v away_o from_o heavenly_a mindedness_n to_o earthly_a mindedness_n let_v the_o rational_a reader_n judge_n second_o that_o the_o key_n speak_v of_o mat._n 16.18_o be_v to_o remain_v in_o the_o

be_v to_o exclude_v they_o from_o that_o communion_n of_o saint_n and_o that_o it_o be_v to_o be_v perpetuate_v be_v plain_a because_o it_o be_v annex_v to_o vers_n 20._o which_o be_v perpetuate_v as_o be_v most_o evident_a thus_o we_o may_v see_v in_o the_o first_o place_n that_o christ_n do_v once_o give_v his_o church_n his_o power_n and_o never_o take_v it_o away_o again_o from_o they_o and_o the_o power_n and_o strength_n of_o hell_n can_v do_v it_o for_o the_o gate_n of_o hell_n shall_v not_o prevail_v against_o it_o and_o sure_o the_o fall_n of_o one_o star_n from_o heaven_n to_o

therefore_o follow_v that_o all_o the_o constable_n in_o the_o seven_o hundred_o or_o in_o that_o division_n have_v lose_v their_o power_n who_o have_v not_o rebel_v and_o the_o several_a parish_n

he_o appear_v to_o be_v a_o hypocrite_n even_o a_o drunkard_n or_o a_o fornicator_n or_o the_o like_a now_o will_v you_o admit_v of_o that_o man_n although_o former_o he_o have_v communion_n with_o

for_o they_o be_v all_o one_o in_o christ_n and_o to_o have_v all_o one_o privilege_n and_o as_o for_o the_o manchild_n which_o be_v to_o rule_v all_o nation_n with_o a_o rod_n of_o iron_n we_o see_v
