not_o explain_v how_o the_o whole_a church_n be_v but_o one_o must_v be_v false_a because_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o church_n proper_o belong_v to_o the_o whole_a and_o not_o to_o a_o part_n now_o as_o this_o unity_n respect_v the_o whole_a church_n it_o be_v impossible_a there_o shall_v be_v any_o other_o head_n of_o unity_n but_o christ_n any_o other_o medium_n of_o unity_n but_o the_o gospel-covenant_n nor_o any_o other_o kind_n of_o unity_n but_o the_o unity_n of_o one_o spiritual_a body_n communion_n or_o society_n that_o we_o be_v all_o unite_a by_o the_o gospel-covenant_n in_o one_o body_n to_o christ_n the_o one_o and_o only_a head_n of_o the_o universal_a church_n 1._o the_o unity_n of_o the_o church_n must_v consist_v in_o its_o union_n to_o some_o one_o head._n this_o be_v acknowledge_v by_o all_o christian_n and_o therefore_o i_o need_v not_o prove_v it_o and_o it_o be_v as_o evident_a that_o none_o can_v be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o universal_a church_n but_o only_o christ_n and_o that_o for_o this_o plain_a reason_n because_o it_o be_v union_n to_o christ_n alone_o which_o make_v the_o christian_a church_n the_o church_n be_v the_o church_n of_o christ_n and_o therefore_o he_o alone_o be_v the_o head_n of_o his_o own_o church_n this_o the_o romanist_n themselves_o grant_v that_o christ_n alone_o be_v the_o head_n of_o his_o church_n and_o that_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n be_v only_o a_o vicarious_a head_n christ_n vicar_n on_o earth_n but_o when_o we_o speak_v of_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o universal_a church_n part_n of_o which_o be_v translate_v to_o heaven_n and_o part_v still_o militant_a on_o earth_n it_o must_v be_v unite_v in_o christ_n alone_o for_o as_o he_o need_v no_o vicar_n in_o heaven_n where_o he_o himself_o be_v immediate_o present_a so_o there_o can_v be_v no_o vicar_n on_o earth_n as_o a_o common_a head_n of_o unity_n for_o the_o church_n on_o earth_n and_o in_o heaven_n and_o therefore_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n can_v consist_v in_o its_o union_n to_o such_o a_o vicarious_a head_n as_o i_o observe_v before_o and_o then_o there_o can_v be_v no_o other_o head_n of_o unity_n but_o only_a christ._n 2._o it_o be_v as_o evident_a also_o that_o the_o only_a medium_fw-la or_o bond_n of_o this_o union_n between_o christ_n and_o the_o church_n be_v the_o gospel-covenant_n for_o that_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o our_o relation_n to_o christ_n he_o be_v our_o head_n and_o husband_n our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n we_o his_o subject_n disciple_n spouse_n and_o body_n by_o covenant_n and_o therefore_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n baptism_n and_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v the_o federal_n rite_n of_o our_o union_n to_o christ_n baptism_n be_v our_o regeneration_n or_o new_a birth_n whereby_o we_o be_v incorporate_v into_o his_o body_n in_o the_o lord_n supper_n we_o spiritual_o eat_v his_o flesh_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n which_o signify_v and_o effect_n as_o intimate_v a_o union_n to_o he_o as_o there_o be_v of_o our_o body_n and_o the_o food_n we_o eat_v and_o this_o prove_v that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o other_o head_n of_o unity_n but_o only_o christ_n because_o the_o gospel_n covenant_n unite_v we_o to_o none_o else_o which_o i_o take_v to_o be_v st._n paul_n meaning_n when_o he_o reprove_v the_o corinthian_a schism_n 1_o cor._n 1._o 12_o 13._o now_o this_o i_o say_v that_o every_o one_o of_o you_o say_v i_o be_o of_o paul_n and_o i_o of_o apollo_n and_o i_o of_o cephas_n and_o i_o of_o christ._n be_v christ_n divide_v be_v paul_n crucify_v for_o you_o or_o be_v you_o baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o paul_n that_o be_v that_o there_o be_v no_o other_o head_n to_o who_o we_o can_v be_v unite_v but_o only_a christ_n who_o purchase_v the_o gospel-covenant_n by_o his_o death_n and_o into_o who_o name_n we_o be_v baptize_v his_o alone_a we_o be_v to_o who_o we_o be_v unite_v by_o baptism_n we_o be_v in_o covenant_n with_o none_o else_o and_o therefore_o belong_v to_o he_o alone_o if_o they_o may_v have_v own_v any_o other_o head_n beside_o he_o who_o die_v for_o they_o and_o into_o who_o name_n they_o be_v baptize_v if_o christ_n have_v make_v peter_n the_o vicarious_a head_n of_o unity_n as_o the_o romanist_n pretend_v st._n paul_n argument_n against_o these_o siding_n and_o faction_n that_o one_o say_v he_o be_v of_o paul_n another_o of_o apollo_n a_o three_o of_o cephas_n or_o peter_n have_v not_o be_v good_a for_o at_o least_o those_o who_o be_v unite_v to_o peter_n be_v in_o the_o right_n but_o st._n paul_n know_v no_o other_o head_n of_o unity_n but_o only_o christ_n because_o the_o gospel-covenant_n which_o be_v the_o only_a medium_fw-la and_o bond_n of_o union_n unite_v we_o to_o no_o other_o head_n and_o therefore_o those_o who_o say_v they_o be_v of_o peter_n or_o belong_v to_o he_o as_o their_o head_n and_o centre_n of_o unity_n which_o be_v the_o case_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n at_o this_o day_n be_v as_o great_a schismatic_n as_o those_o who_o say_v they_o be_v of_o paul._n now_o this_o covenant_n extend_v to_o the_o whole_a church_n and_o therefore_o unite_v the_o whole_a church_n to_o christ._n for_o those_o who_o be_v translate_v into_o heaven_n be_v still_o unite_v to_o christ_n by_o the_o same_o covenant_n with_o the_o church_n on_o earth_n there_o be_v several_a duty_n indeed_o of_o this_o covenant_n which_o the_o saint_n in_o heaven_n be_v exempt_v from_o because_o their_o state_n and_o condition_n there_o be_v above_o they_o their_o faith_n and_o hope_n be_v turn_v into_o sight_n and_o enjoyment_n their_o spiritual_a warfare_n be_v accomplish_v for_o there_o be_v no_o devil_n nor_o flesh_n nor_o world_n to_o tempt_v they_o the_o mystical_a supper_n of_o our_o lord_n be_v celebrate_v by_o they_o not_o in_o external_a symbol_n and_o figure_n but_o in_o a_o more_o divine_a manner_n in_o the_o immediate_a presence_n of_o the_o lamb_n but_o tho'_o the_o duty_n of_o the_o covenant_n change_v with_o their_o state_n and_o condition_n of_o life_n yet_o the_o covenant_n be_v the_o same_o still_o by_o this_o covenant_n it_o be_v that_o they_o be_v in_o heaven_n and_o still_o expect_v the_o completion_n of_o their_o happiness_n in_o the_o resurrection_n of_o their_o body_n immortal_a and_o glorious_a and_o by_o the_o same_o covenant_n it_o be_v that_o we_o hope_v when_o our_o warfare_n be_v accomplish_v also_o to_o get_v to_o heaven_n and_o to_o rise_v together_o with_o they_o at_o the_o sound_n of_o the_o last_o trumpet_n and_o therefore_o the_o whole_a church_n in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n be_v one_o by_o be_v unite_v to_o the_o same_o head_n by_o the_o same_o covenant_n 3._o the_o unity_n then_o of_o the_o universal_a church_n can_v consist_v in_o nothing_o but_o this_o that_o the_o whole_a church_n both_o in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n be_v unite_v in_o one_o body_n to_o christ._n for_o since_o there_o be_v no_o other_o head_n of_o unity_n for_o the_o church_n but_o christ_n the_o formal_a reason_n of_o this_o unity_n must_v consist_v in_o the_o union_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n to_o christ_n which_o make_v the_o universal_a church_n the_o one_o body_n of_o christ_n and_o this_o be_v the_o unity_n of_o the_o church_n for_o i_o think_v it_o be_v no_o less_o than_o a_o demonstration_n that_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o universal_a church_n which_o be_v part_n in_o heaven_n and_o part_n on_o earth_n can_v be_v the_o unity_n of_o a_o organise_v body_n which_o must_v consist_v in_o a_o regular_a subordination_n of_o different_a rank_n and_o degree_n of_o man_n as_o the_o church_n on_o earth_n do_v for_o the_o church_n on_o earth_n and_o in_o heaven_n which_o be_v the_o one_o church_n of_o christ_n be_v no_o such_o one_o common_a govern_v society_n and_o therefore_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o church_n can_v consist_v in_o the_o unity_n of_o one_o external_n government_n but_o how_o then_o be_v the_o whole_a church_n but_o one_o body_n true_o i_o know_v no_o other_o way_n but_o that_o they_o be_v all_o unite_a to_o christ_n in_o the_o same_o covenant_n and_o all_o who_o be_v thus_o unite_v to_o he_o christ_n account_v his_o one_o body_n thus_o christ_n as_o bear_v his_o church_n be_v compare_v to_o a_o vine_n all_o who_o branch_n we_o know_v be_v unite_v only_o in_o the_o stock_n or_o root_n 15_o john_n 1._o and_o to_o a_o olive-tree_n 11_o rom._n 17._o and_o to_o a_o sheepfold_n which_o consist_v of_o single_a and_o individual_a sheep_n which_o be_v one_o fold_v only_o because_o they_o be_v under_o one_o shepherd_n 10_o john_n 16._o it_o be_v true_a indeed_o the_o church_n be_v call_v also_o the_o body_n and_o the_o spouse_n of_o christ_n but_o as_o that_o relate_v to_o the_o universal_a church_n it_o do_v not_o
signify_v a_o organical_a body_n though_o that_o the_o church_n on_o earth_n be_v also_o by_o christ_n own_o institution_n of_o which_o more_o hereafter_o but_o it_o be_v so_o call_v for_o mystical_a reason_n which_o i_o shall_v brief_o explain_v to_o you_o 1._o now_o i_o first_o observe_v that_o the_o relation_n between_o man_n and_o wife_n be_v but_o a_o emblem_n and_o figure_n of_o that_o union_n which_o be_v between_o christ_n and_o his_o church_n hence_o the_o apostle_n exhort_v husband_n to_o love_v their_o wife_n even_o as_o christ_n love_v his_o church_n and_o tell_v we_o of_o marriage_n it_o be_v a_o great_a mystery_n but_o i_o speak_v concern_v christ_n and_o his_o church_n 5_o ephes._n 25._o 32._o 2._o that_o to_o be_v the_o body_n and_o the_o spouse_n of_o christ_n signify_v the_o same_o thing_n hence_o the_o apostle_n argue_v that_o man_n ought_v to_o love_v their_o wife_n as_o their_o own_o body_n 28_o v_o for_o no_o man_n ever_o hate_v his_o own_o flesh_n but_o nourish_v and_o cherish_v it_o even_o as_o the_o lord_n the_o church_n 29._o for_o we_o be_v member_n of_o his_o body_n of_o his_o flesh_n and_o of_o his_o bone_n 30._o so_o that_o the_o wife_n be_v the_o body_n the_o very_a flesh_n of_o the_o husband_n and_o so_o be_v the_o church_n of_o christ._n 3._o to_o understand_v this_o matter_n why_o the_o church_n be_v call_v the_o body_n and_o spouse_n of_o christ_n we_o must_v inquire_v why_o the_o wife_n be_v call_v the_o body_n of_o the_o man_n flesh_n of_o his_o flesh_n and_o bone_n of_o his_o bone_n and_o the_o reason_n of_o that_o be_v because_o the_o woman_n be_v form_v out_o of_o the_o man._n god_n at_o first_o form_v man_n with_o a_o entire_a humane_a body_n of_o the_o dust_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o out_o of_o man_n while_o he_o sleep_v he_o form_v the_o woman_n who_o though_o a_o distinct_a separate_a person_n yet_o be_v part_n of_o the_o man_n flesh_n of_o his_o flesh_n and_o bone_n of_o his_o bone_n and_o this_o be_v a_o natural_a marriage_n for_o two_o be_v by_o nature_n one_o flesh_n and_o this_o be_v the_o natural_a and_o fundamental_a reason_n of_o the_o matrimonial_a union_n for_o this_o cause_n shall_v a_o man_n leave_v his_o father_n and_o mother_n and_o cleave_v to_o his_o wife_n and_o they_o two_o shall_v be_v one_o flesh._n for_o though_o other_o woman_n be_v not_o make_v as_o eve_n be_v no_o more_o than_o other_o man_n be_v make_v as_o adam_n be_v yet_o the_o woman_n be_v original_o of_o the_o man_n the_o reason_n hold_v as_o to_o the_o whole_a kind_n and_o in_o subsequent_a marriage_n a_o legal_a ceremony_n and_o contract_n do_v what_o a_o natural_a formation_n do_v at_o first_o that_o be_v unite_v two_o into_o one_o flesh._n thus_o the_o bless_a jesus_n out_o of_o great_a pity_n and_o compassion_n to_o fall_v man_n intend_v to_o marry_v we_o unto_o himself_o and_o thereby_o to_o recover_v we_o out_o of_o a_o state_n of_o sin_n and_o misery_n first_o marry_v our_o nature_n to_o himself_o by_o a_o hypostatical_a union_n as_o man_n be_v create_v first_o and_o then_o the_o woman_n form_v out_o of_o he_o christ_n take_v a_o humane_a body_n of_o the_o substance_n of_o a_o pure_a virgin_n which_o signify_v that_o it_o be_v a_o espousable_a nature_n which_o he_o take_v and_o be_v a_o pledge_n and_o earnest_a and_o medium_fw-la of_o our_o marriage_n to_o he_o for_o though_o we_o can_v be_v marry_v immediate_o to_o the_o divinity_n yet_o to_o a_o god_n incarnate_a we_o may_v for_o marriage_n require_v that_o husband_n and_o wife_n be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n but_o this_o be_v not_o enough_o that_o the_o husband_n and_o wife_n partake_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n but_o the_o woman_n must_v be_v form_v out_o of_o the_o man_n which_o make_v her_o flesh_n of_o his_o flesh_n and_o bone_n of_o his_o bone._n and_o thus_o according_o the_o church_n be_v form_v out_o of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n and_o be_v in_o a_o mystical_a sense_n his_o very_a flesh_n and_o bone_n as_o st._n paul_n speak_v we_o be_v member_n of_o his_o body_n of_o his_o flesh_n and_o of_o his_o bone_n for_o the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o flesh_n give_v life_n and_o be_v to_o the_o church_n he_o purchase_v to_o himself_o a_o church_n by_o his_o own_o blood_n that_o be_v he_o form_v to_o himself_o a_o church_n out_o of_o his_o break_a body_n as_o adam_n body_n be_v break_v and_o a_o rib_n take_v out_o of_o he_o to_o form_v the_o woman_n and_o therefore_o as_o the_o woman_n be_v make_v of_o the_o same_o flesh_n with_o adam_n so_o the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n in_o his_o humane_a nature_n purchase_v a_o church_n not_o of_o angel_n but_o of_o man_n of_o the_o same_o nature_n with_o himself_o as_o the_o apostle_n observe_v 2_o heb._n 16_o for_o very_o he_o take_v not_o on_o he_o the_o nature_n of_o angel_n but_o he_o take_v on_o he_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n and_o therefore_o be_v not_o the_o saviour_n of_o angel_n but_o of_o man_n be_v not_o marry_v to_o the_o angelical_a but_o to_o the_o humane_a nature_n and_o to_o make_v the_o analogy_n still_o more_o complete_a as_o the_o woman_n be_v form_v out_o of_o adam_n side_n so_o be_v the_o church_n out_o of_o christ_n side_n for_o when_o he_o be_v pierce_v with_o the_o soldier_n spear_n there_o come_v out_o of_o his_o side_n both_o water_n and_o blood_n 19_o john_n 34._o and_o the_o evangelist_n set_v a_o peculiar_a remark_n upon_o it_o he_o that_o see_v it_o bare_a record_n and_o we_o know_v that_o his_o record_n be_v true_a and_o he_o know_v that_o he_o say_v true_a that_o you_o may_v believe_v 35_o v_o and_o this_o be_v especial_o observe_v and_o great_a weight_n lay_v on_o it_o 1_o john_n 5._o 6._o this_o be_v he_o that_o come_v by_o water_n and_o blood_n even_o jesus_n christ_n not_o by_o water_n only_o but_o by_o water_n and_o blood_n this_o some_o think_v signify_v no_o more_o but_o that_o it_o be_v a_o demonstration_n that_o he_o be_v true_o dead_a in_o that_o his_o heart_n be_v wound_v where_o there_o be_v a_o capsula_fw-la call_v the_o pericardium_n which_o contain_v water_n which_o be_v pierce_v water_n come_v out_o together_o with_o blood_n but_o the_o water_n and_o blood_n come_v out_o distinct_a though_o from_o the_o same_o wound_n which_o be_v never_o know_v before_o and_o can_v be_v do_v again_o by_o the_o great_a artist_n and_o though_o this_o may_v be_v a_o reason_n why_o st._n john_n may_v take_v notice_n of_o it_o in_o his_o gospel_n where_o he_o give_v a_o account_n of_o his_o death_n yet_o it_o do_v not_o seem_v a_o sufficient_a reason_n why_o he_o shall_v lay_v such_o weight_n on_o it_o in_o his_o epistle_n this_o be_v he_o who_o come_v by_o water_n and_o blood_n not_o by_o water_n only_o but_o by_o water_n and_o blood_n and_o therefore_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o the_o ancient_a father_n be_v in_o the_o right_n who_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o two_o sacrament_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n flow_v out_o of_o his_o side_n which_o be_v the_o formation_n of_o this_o spiritual_a spouse_n his_o church_n the_o birth_n and_o the_o nourishment_n of_o it_o baptism_n and_o the_o lord_n supper_n which_o come_v from_o his_o wound_a body_n and_o have_v both_o of_o they_o a_o peculiar_a respect_n to_o his_o death_n and_o passion_n thus_o we_o see_v the_o church_n be_v call_v christ_n body_n and_o spouse_n for_o mystical_a reason_n because_o it_o be_v form_v out_o of_o his_o break_a body_n his_o death_n and_o suffering_n give_v life_n and_o be_v to_o the_o church_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v but_o one_o body_n because_o all_o those_o who_o be_v redeem_v by_o his_o blood_n and_o unite_v to_o he_o by_o covenant_n which_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o marriage-vow_n and_o contract_n be_v his_o body_n and_o spouse_n and_o therefore_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n baptism_n and_o the_o lord_n supper_n do_v no_o otherwise_o unite_v we_o to_o each_o other_o than_o they_o unite_v we_o all_o to_o christ_n which_o make_v we_o all_o one_o body_n or_o as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v with_o respect_n to_o the_o lord_n supper_n for_o we_o be_v many_o be_v one_o bread_n and_o one_o body_n for_o we_o be_v all_o partaker_n of_o that_o one_o bread_n we_o all_o partake_v of_o the_o same_o body_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v therefore_o call_v the_o communion_n of_o his_o body_n and_o blood_n and_o therefore_o we_o all_o be_v but_o one_o body_n so_o that_o it_o be_v a_o vain_a thing_n to_o inquire_v after_o any_o other_o principle_n of_o unity_n for_o the_o whole_a church_n but_o the_o union_n of_o all_o christian_n to_o

but_o you_o will_v say_v can_v wicked_a man_n than_o be_v member_n of_o christ_n mystical_a body_n yes_o no_o doubt_n but_o they_o may_v in_o this_o world_n if_o they_o can_v be_v in_o covenant_n

not_o upon_o account_n of_o any_o mystical_a union_n which_o some_o man_n ●alk_v of_o of_o but_o no_o man_n can_v ever_o explain_v but_o for_o mystical_a reason_n as_o i_o have_v already_o show_v you_o now_o if_o those_o mystical_a reason_n for_o which_o the_o church_n be_v call_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n include_v wicked_a professor_n and_o conceal_v hypocrite_n as_o well_o as_o true_o good_a man_n than_o i_o hope_v bad_a man_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o member_n of_o christ_n mystical_a body_n without_o such_o a_o mystical_a union_n to_o he_o now_o i_o observe_v before_o the_o mystical_a reason_n why_o the_o church_n be_v call_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n flesh_n of_o his_o flesh_n and_o bone_n of_o his_o bone_n be_v because_o he_o purchase_v the_o church_n with_o

shall_v have_v a_o covenant_n right_n to_o the_o expiation_n of_o his_o death_n and_o all_o the_o blessing_n purchase_v by_o his_o blood_n for_o otherwise_o we_o can_v tell_v what_o it_o be_v to_o

his_o mystical_a body_n if_o you_o object_n that_o by_o this_o reason_n all_o mankind_n be_v christ_n mystical_a body_n for_o he_o die_v for_o all_o man_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v all_o the_o
