thereof_o otherwise_o paul_n will_v not_o have_v say_v that_o he_o which_o observe_v a_o day_n or_o he_o which_o eat_v not_o unclean_a meat_n observe_v the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n or_o eat_v not_o the_o meat_n to_o the_o lord_n he_o mean_v according_a to_o his_o own_o interpretation_n verse_n 18._o vers_fw-la 4._o 4._o that_o they_o serve_v christ_n in_o these_o thing_n 18._o and_o be_v acceptable_a unto_o god_n and_o also_o to_o be_v approve_v of_o man_n and_o therefore_o also_o they_o that_o be_v strong_a and_o have_v further_a knowledge_n be_v to_o bear_v with_o the_o weak_a 22._o and_o to_o apply_v their_o knowledge_n and_o judgement_n 9_o that_o they_o put_v no_o stumble_a block_n nor_o occasion_n to_o fall_v before_o their_o brethren_n again_o we_o have_v a_o further_a answer_n by_o these_o word_n of_o paul_n that_o some_o thing_n may_v be_v do_v upon_o just_a occasion_n as_o when_o we_o be_v sure_a that_o we_o serve_v god_n therein_o and_o some_o thing_n be_v simple_o sin_n which_o may_v never_o be_v do_v upon_o any_o occasion_n such_o be_v our_o vile_a abuse_n and_o ungodly_a disorder_n which_o be_v not_o as_o the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o law_n that_o by_o occasion_n may_v be_v observe_v or_o not_o observe_v as_o to_o make_v difference_n of_o time_n or_o of_o meat_n but_o they_o be_v altogether_o forbid_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o not_o indifferent_a as_o they_o term_v they_o and_o though_o some_o thing_n in_o themselves_o 14._o as_o they_o be_v creature_n 4._o be_v rather_o clean_o good_a and_o lawful_a then_o as_o they_o term_v they_o indifferent_a yet_o their_o use_n or_o rather_o abuse_v in_o such_o manner_n and_o order_n be_v not_o lawful_a and_o good_a neither_o indifferent_a and_o here_o again_o be_v another_o objection_n to_o be_v answer_v because_o when_o ●ing_n hezekiah_n do_v celebrate_v the_o passeover_n 19_o there_o be_v many_o in_o the_o congregation_n that_o be_v not_o cleanse_v and_o yet_o do_v eat_v the_o passeover_n and_o thereby_o they_o do_v gather_v that_o wicked_a wretch_n may_v partake_v with_o we_o in_o the_o sacrament_n that_o place_n plain_o show_v that_o it_o be_v only_o a_o ceremonial_a uncleanness_n and_o no_o wickedness_n in_o the_o people_n 19_o for_o the_o people_n as_o the_o word_n do_v testify_v prepare_v their_o whole_a heart_n to_o seek_v the_o lord_n god_n again_o the_o same_o place_n answer_v itself_o that_o they_o be_v not_o cleanse_v according_a to_o the_o purification_n of_o the_o sanctuary_n whereby_o be_v mean_v as_o it_o be_v write_v in_o number_n 10._o that_o they_o be_v to_o keep_v the_o passeover_n notwithstanding_o such_o uncleanness_n for_o it_o can_v no_o way_n be_v remedy_v before_o the_o time_n of_o the_o passeover_n appoint_v and_o again_o that_o ceremony_n of_o uncleanness_n 20._o be_v command_v because_o of_o the_o sanctuary_n which_o may_v not_o be_v pollute_v now_o therefore_o they_o only_o eat_v the_o passeover_n in_o their_o house_n or_o tent_n and_o not_o come_v to_o the_o sanctuary_n their_o ceremonial_a uncleanness_n be_v no_o wickedness_n in_o they_o for_o the_o priest_n themselves_o 34_o as_o the_o text_n declare_v 16._o be_v not_o suffer_v to_o come_v into_o the_o sanctuary_n or_o temple_n 15._o be_v not_o yet_o cleanse_v and_o yet_o also_o there_o be_v a_o further_a answer_n for_o that_o the_o ceremonial_a uncleanness_n be_v no_o sin_n so_o long_o as_o it_o be_v not_o by_o their_o carelessness_n in_o avoid_v it_o or_o if_o it_o have_v be_v sin_n yet_o it_o be_v to_o be_v count_v a_o small_a escape_n or_o a_o infirmity_n and_o no_o grosser_n wickedness_n and_o then_o see_v it_o be_v open_o rebuke_v and_o open_o confess_v and_o pray_v for_o by_o the_o king_n and_o also_o heal_v in_o the_o people_n for_o the_o lord_n heal_v the_o people_n say_v the_o text_n i_o say_v see_v the_o matter_n stand_v so_o how_o shall_v any_o man_n excuse_n or_o tolerate_v thereby_o our_o intolerable_a disorder_n which_o be_v also_o incurable_a for_o if_o escape_v or_o open_a infirmity_n be_v not_o so_o to_o be_v bear_v with_o but_o that_o they_o must_v be_v open_o rebuke_v and_o mend_v before_o the_o offender_n can_v communicate_v in_o the_o sacrament_n then_o much_o rather_o be_v open_v grosser_n sin_n to_o be_v first_o redress_v before_o the_o sinner_n be_v suffer_v to_o partake_v in_o the_o sacrament_n but_o master_n cartwright_n bring_v a_o place_n in_o jeremie_n for_o defence_n of_o suspending_n which_o the_o bishop_n use_v now_o a_o day_n or_o at_o least_o for_o tollerate_v of_o they_o that_o the_o preacher_n shall_v take_v and_o give_v over_o their_o calling_n as_o the_o bishop_n and_o their_o officer_n do_v appoint_v they_o why_o do_v he_o so_o careless_o falsify_v the_o

truth_n in_o they_o for_o first_o it_o be_v plain_a in_o the_o chapter_n he_o quote_v that_o he_o be_v shut_v up_o 2._o and_o therefore_o be_v not_o at_o liberty_n of_o his_o body_n and_o the_o 32_o chapter_n show_v that_o jeremie_n be_v shut_v up_o in_o the_o court_n of_o the_o prison_n then_o also_o imprison_v of_o a_o man_n do_v show_v a_o violent_a withhold_v of_o a_o man_n from_o preach_v and_o not_o a_o suspending_a further_o that_o jeremie_n will_v obey_v no_o suspending_n it_o be_v plain_a by_o the_o charge_n and_o message_n he_o have_v from_o the_o lord_n 18._o for_o he_o be_v set_v over_o the_o nation_n and_o over_o the_o kingdom_n as_o be_v write_v and_o be_v make_v a_o iron_n pillar_n and_o wall_n of_o brass_n against_o the_o king_n the_o prince_n and_o the_o priest_n and_o be_v not_o to_o be_v afraid_a of_o their_o face_n lest_o the_o lord_n do_v destroy_v he_o before_o they_o indeed_o it_o be_v true_a as_o we_o have_v prove_v before_o that_o we_o be_v not_o to_o preach_v to_o the_o unworthy_a 4._o as_o to_o scorner_n and_o persecuter_n for_o there_o be_v a_o time_n when_o the_o wise_a man_n shall_v keep_v silence_n when_o scarce_o any_o be_v to_o rebuke_v or_o reproove_v another_o but_o when_o jeremie_n be_v shut_v up_o there_o be_v of_o the_o prince_n that_o take_v his_o part_n for_o by_o their_o mean_n no_o doubt_n do_v jeremie_n get_v out_o of_o

yet_o jeremie_n obey_v they_o not_o but_o only_o give_v place_n to_o the_o tyranny_n of_o persecuter_n as_o for_o the_o tumult_n he_o speak_v of_o 6._o we_o know_v that_o paul_n himself_o though_o he_o seek_v peace_n yet_o he_o care_v more_o for_o his_o safety_n and_o to_o witness_v the_o truth_n than_o he_o do_v for_o to_o raise_v a_o tumult_n and_o jeremie_n also_o cease_v not_o to_o preach_v still_o notwithstanding_o that_o a_o tumulte_n ●_o and_o much_o stir_v have_v be_v among_o the_o people_n and_o priest_n and_o prince_n and_o prophet_n and_o all_o for_o his_o preach_n whereas_o

of_o good_a magistrate_n the_o law_n shall_v still_o be_v with_o the_o church_n and_o not_o against_o it_o as_o for_o the_o maiestracie_n of_o bishop_n there_o be_v no_o law_n to_o warrant_v it_o but_o only_o her_o majesty_n permission_n likewise_o for_o the_o common_a form_n of_o service_n and_o prayer_n there_o be_v exception_n by_o the_o law_n and_o it_o be_v set_v down_o also_o in_o the_o

study_n for_o preach_v further_o whereas_o the_o law_n do_v bind_v we_o to_o come_v to_o the_o church_n it_o do_v well_o for_o no_o man_n ought_v to_o refuse_v the_o church_n of_o god_n yet_o if_o when_o we_o come_v to_o the_o church_n we_o find_v there_o a_o unlawful_a minister_n and_o a_o wicked_a confusion_n of_o all_o sort_n of_o people_n the_o fault_n be_v not_o now_o in_o the_o law_n but_o in_o the_o byshoppe_n which_o place_n such_o minister_n and_o in_o their_o spiritual_a court_n which_o be_v author_n of_o such_o confusion_n for_o the_o law_n command_v that_o the_o minister_n

wherefore_o good_a magistrate_n will_v execute_v the_o law_n according_a to_o the_o true_a meaning_n and_o not_o according_a to_o the_o extremity_n of_o the_o word_n and_o if_o they_o see_v to_o it_o that_o man_n shall_v come_v to_o church_n they_o will_v first_o see_v that_o the_o church_n be_v better_o order_v that_o man_n may_v come_v with_o comfort_n and_o not_o with_o heart_n burn_v to_o

to_o rehearse_v what_o liberty_n the_o law_n do_v yield_v to_o we_o and_o what_o outward_a profession_n there_o be_v by_o the_o law_n but_o thus_o we_o conclude_v that_o see_v very_o many_o of_o the_o bishop_n do_n and_o their_o officer_n be_v unlawful_a and_o yet_o very_o usual_o and_o ordinary_o profess_v hold_v and_o practise_v we_o must_v needs_o say_v that_o such_o a_o ordinary_a profession_n be_v unlawful_a now_o follow_v the_o chief_a and_o great_a matter_n in_o controversy_n namely_o whether_o the_o ordinary_a assembly_n of_o the_o professor_n in_o england_n be_v the_o church_n of_o

of_o christ._n but_o go_v to_o let_v we_o examine_v his_o proo●es_n those_o assembly_n have_v christ_n for_o their_o head_n and_o foundation_n for_o say_v he_o they_o believe_v in_o christ_n and_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n therefore_o they_o be_v the_o church_n of_o christ._n now_o to_o prove_v that_o they_o believe_v he_o bring_v in_o their_o profession_n so_o that_o all_o master_n

and_o to_o faith_n and_o so_o at_o last_o to_o the_o outward_a profession_n now_o the_o outward_a profession_n must_v chief_o be_v show_v and_o justify_v by_o the_o lawful_a use_v of_o public_a assembly_n if_o they_o then_o be_v so_o shameful_o abuse_v by_o mean_n of_o the_o bishop_n and_o their_o officer_n than_o his_o proof_n of_o the_o outward_a profession_n also_o fall_v to_o the_o

then_o to_o have_v no_o other_o proof_n but_o the_o question_n to_o prove_v the_o question_n for_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o the_o assembly_n be_v lawful_a outward_a church_n be_v hold_v
