independent_a way_n but_o if_o it_o do_v it_o be_v a_o strong_a argument_n that_o the_o erect_n of_o national_a church_n be_v no_o ordinance_n of_o god_n as_o be_v over_o liable_a to_o casualty_n

of_o our_o time_n that_o nation_n shall_v not_o lift_v up_o sword_n against_o nation_n neither_o shall_v they_o learn_v to_o fight_v any_o more_o must_v not_o these_o son_n of_o thunder_n these_o

may_v make_v a_o people_n become_v a_o nation_n of_o devil_n or_o soon_o cut_v a_o whole_a nation_n off_o than_o make_v they_o grow_v into_o a_o national_a church_n to_o serve_v the_o lord_n in_o sincerity_n and_o truth_n but_o what_o if_o whole_a nation_n shall_v be_v convert_v if_o national_a conversion_n may_v or_o aught_o to_o prove_v so_o many_o national_a church_n suppose_v english_a scotch_a dutch_a french_a whereof_o no_o one_o will_v submit_v unto_o the_o other_o though_o they_o be_v all_o orthodox_a protestant_n will_v not_o they_o be_v all_o independent_a in_o respect_n to_o one_o another_o why_o then_o may_v it_o not_o be_v tolerable_a in_o the_o eye_n of_o god_n for_o as_o many_o lesser_a church_n or_o congregational_a assembly_n in_o one_o state_n or_o kingdom_n to_o

why_o may_v not_o the_o proselyte_n of_o all_o country_n as_o well_o make_v one_o national_a church_n since_o we_o find_v in_o zach_n 14._o 16._o while_o he_o prophesy_v of_o a_o national_a church_n and_o worship_n that_o every_o one_o that_o be_v leave_v of_o all_o the_o nation_n which_o come_v against_o jerusalem_n shall_v go_v up_o from_o year_n to_o year_n to_o worship_v and_o which_o of_o

fear_v i_o the_o gossip_n will_v not_o agree_v about_o the_o name_n especial_o the_o spaniard_n who_o have_v the_o catholic_a king_n and_o think_v all_o nation_n of_o the_o world_n bind_v to_o leave_v their_o own_o and_o learn_v their_o fashion_n language_n and_o what_o not_o and_o yet_o the_o jew_n will_v tug_v hard_a for_o it_o both_o with_o rome_n the_o spaniard_n and_o all_o other_o pretend_v that_o all_o prophecy_n and_o other_o scripture_n which_o do_v make_v for_o a_o national_a church_n declare_v it_o plain_o to_o be_v jewish_a es._n 49._o c._n mic._n 4_o 1._o 5._o and_o the_o truth_n be_v that_o under_o the_o law_n whoever_o of_o the_o nation_n be_v then_o convert_v be_v proper_o say_v to_o be_v of_o the_o jewish_a church_n in_o whatsoever_o climate_n or_o country_n they_o be_v resident_a but_o how_o a_o englishman_n can_v be_v a_o member_n of_o several_a national_a church_n at_o once_o as_o he_o may_v happen_v in_o his_o life_n time_n to_o have_v live_v several_a year_n in_o several_a country_n or_o be_v one_o year_n a_o member_n of_o one_o national_a church_n and_o another_o year_n of_o another_o i_o know_v not_o but_o conceive_v it_o to_o be_v total_o inconsistent_a and_o yet_o you_o will_v make_v he_o be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o national_a church_n where_o ever_o he_o reside_v for_o the_o present_a and_o that_o if_o the_o church_n be_v now_o national_a whosoever_o be_v once_o a_o member_n can_v no_o more_o cease_v to_o be_v a_o member_n by_o leave_v one_o national_a church_n and_o join_v to_o another_o than_o in_o time_n of_o the_o jew_n when_o there_o be_v but_o two_o estate_n to_o wit_n within_o or_o without_o the_o jewish_a church_n but_o if_o several_a national_a church_n may_v make_v up_o one_o catholic_a why_o may_v not_o so_o many_o more_o independent_a church_n do_v so_o too_o and_o if_o all_o believer_n must_v now_o make_v but_o one_o national_a christian_a church_n must_v it_o not_o insinute_n one_o high_a priest_n one_o pope_n to_o be_v head_n thereof_o that_o it_o may_v the_o better_o hold_v parallel_n with_o the_o jewish_a if_o well_o examine_v it_o be_v not_o unlikely_a something_o equavalent_a thereunto_o may_v be_v discover_v will_v not_o these_o changeling_n like_o micha_n vagabond_n priest_n which_o remove_v from_o one_o benefice_n
