by_o god_n under_o the_o jewish_a law_n or_o invent_v by_o men._n for_o 1._o there_o be_v no_o expiation_n or_o satisfaction_n for_o sin_n under_o the_o gospel_n but_o only_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o place_n now_o for_o any_o expiatory_a rite_n and_o ceremony_n 2._o the_o gospel_n make_v no_o difference_n between_o legal_a cleanness_n and_o uncleanness_n and_o therefore_o distinction_n of_o meat_n and_o external_n wash_n and_o purification_n be_v now_o out_o of_o date_n 3._o nor_o be_v there_o any_o symbolical_a presence_n of_o god_n

challenge_v nothing_o from_o he_o now_o but_o by_o promise_n and_o covenant_n and_o since_o such_o covenant_n require_v a_o mutual_a stipulation_n on_o both_o side_n they_o must_v be_v transact_v by_o some_o visible_a and_o sensible_a rite_n whereby_o god_n oblige_v himself_o to_o we_o and_o we_o to_o he_o this_o he_o call_v a_o fanatical_a principle_n but_o why_o i_o know_v not_o and_o say_v that_o this_o be_v destroy_v by_o my_o former_a principle_n of_o take_v away_o all_o rite_n that_o be_v act_n of_o religion_n this_o be_v a_o severe_a man_n who_o will_v not_o allow_v i_o to_o make_v

without_o any_o external_a act_n of_o worship_n i_o never_o say_v much_o less_o do_v i_o assign_v it_o as_o my_o reason_n here_o against_o a_o mere_a external_a
worship_n that_o god_n must_v be_v worship_v as_o a_o mere_a spirit_n but_o that_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n will_v not_o admit_v of_o such_o a_o external_a worship_n and_o yet_o if_o he_o can_v tell_v i_o how_o this_o stipulation_n or_o covenant_n can_v be_v make_v betwixt_o god_n and_o we_o by_o interior_a grace_n without_o some_o visible_a covenant_a rite_n how_o the_o christian_a church_n which_o be_v a_o visible_a society_n distinguish_v from_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o world_n by_o a_o visible_a covenant_n can_v be_v thus_o visible_o incorporate_v by_o

that_o interior_a covenant_n but_o we_o speak_v of_o a_o external_a visible_a covenant_n which_o require_v visible_a pledge_n and_o seal_n require_v a_o visible_a sensible_a mark_n and_o our_o actual_a communion_n with_o christ_n another_o all_o the_o communication_n of_o god_n grace_n to_o we_o all_o our_o return_n of_o worship_n and_o adoration_n will_v equal_o admit_v of_o sensible_a

the_o same_o necessity_n of_o external_a wash_n and_o purification_n distinction_n of_o meat_n etc._n etc._n now_o the_o gospel_n have_v put_v a_o end_n to_o all_o legal_a uncleanness_n as_o there_o

which_o be_v such_o a_o contradiction_n to_o the_o whole_a design_n of_o the_o gospel_n as_o there_o be_v of_o the_o gospel-sacrament_n to_o receive_v we_o into_o covenant_n and_o to_o convey_v the_o blessing_n of_o the_o covenant_n to_o we_o as_o for_o external_a act_n and_o circumstance_n of_o worship_n and_o adoration_n i_o allow_v the_o necessity_n of_o they_o under_o the_o gospel_n but_o these_o be_v very_o different_a thing_n from_o external_a religious_a rite_n and_o if_o he_o know_v no_o reason_n why_o the_o conveyance_n of_o grace_n shall_v rather_o be_v confine_v to_o the_o two_o

life_n consist_v in_o our_o union_n to_o christ_n so_o this_o union_n make_v we_o new_a creature_n for_o he_o that_o be_v in_o christ_n be_v a_o new_a creature_n now_o there_o be_v but_o two_o thing_n

let_v any_o man_n tell_v i_o what_o more_o be_v necessary_a to_o a_o new_a creature_n than_o to_o be_v bear_v and_o to_o be_v nourish_v by_o fresh_a supply_n of_o grace_n till_o it_o grow_v up_o to_o

for_o it_o what_o be_v it_o man_n desire_v when_o they_o desire_v pardon_n be_v it_o not_o that_o they_o may_v not_o be_v punish_v which_o show_v that_o no_o man_n think_v he_o be_v forgive_v when_o he_o be_v punish_v here_o he_o represent_v i_o to_o say_v that_o man_n desire_v nothing_o when_o they_o ask_v pardon_n but_o mere_o not_o to_o be_v punish_v which_o declare_v that_o they_o value_v not_o god_n love_n and_o favour_n as_o child_n but_o mere_o fear_v the_o lash_n like_o slave_n but_o i_o never_o say_v any_o such_o thing_n do_v it_o follow_v that_o because_o all_o man_n who_o desire_v pardon_n desire_v not_o to_o be_v punish_v that_o therefore_o they_o desire_v no_o more_o and_o yet_o pardon_v in_o its_o strict_a notion_n signify_v only_o the_o remission_n of_o

to_o punish_v and_o he_o who_o value_v god_n love_n and_o favour_n in_o the_o first_o place_n desire_v not_o to_o be_v punish_v for_o this_o be_v the_o argument_n i_o insist_v on_o that_o such_o a_o notion_n as_o this_o that_o god_n pardon_v sinner_n and_o yet_o punish_v they_o some_o thousand_o year_n in_o purgatory_n be_v inconsistent_a with_o god_n goodness_n declare_v by_o his_o son_n jesus_n christ_n for_o no_o man_n think_v such_o a_o pardon_n a_o expression_n of_o love_n which_o do_v not_o remit_v the_o debt_n nor_o the_o punishment_n that_o it_o be_v in_o our_o power_n as_o he_o say_v to_o attain_v salvation_n without_o suffer_v in_o purgatory_n make_v purgatory_n no_o more_o a_o act_n of_o goodness_n 70._o than_o hell_n be_v which_o it_o be_v in_o our_o power_n by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n to_o escape_v too_o but_o the_o best_a account_n he_o give_v of_o god_n goodness_n with_o respect_n to_o purgatory_n be_v this_o that_o god_n restore_v his_o favour_n to_o we_o before_o our_o heart_n be_v as_o perfect_o convert_v to_o he_o as_o his_o justice_n may_v well_o require_v that_o be_v he_o take_v we_o into_o his_o favour_n before_o we_o have_v thorough_o repent_v of_o our_o

therefore_o to_o receive_v man_n into_o favour_n before_o their_o heart_n be_v thus_o perfect_o convert_v which_o i_o suppose_v he_o mean_v of_o a_o evangelical_n not_o of_o a_o legal_a perfection_n of_o conversion_n that_o be_v true_a and_o sincere_a repentance_n be_v more_o mercy_n than_o the_o gospel_n promise_v and_o to_o torment_v such_o man_n in_o purgatory_n who_o be_v receive_v to_o

to_o the_o thought_n of_o purgatory_n or_o make_v they_o think_v it_o a_o act_n of_o grace_n that_o it_o be_v in_o exchange_n for_o the_o pleasure_n of_o sin_n which_o they_o be_v so_o very_o fond_a of_o and_o those_o who_o will_v venture_v hell_n to_o enjoy_v their_o lust_n may_v well_o think_v it_o a_o act_n of_o grace_n to_o turn_v hell_n into_o purgatory_n but_o this_o be_v not_o the_o

yet_o it_o do_v not_o answer_v that_o representation_n the_o gospel_n make_v of_o god_n infinite_a love_n and_o compassion_n for_o penitent_a sinner_n through_o jesus_n christ._n 2._o i_o observe_v

suppose_v neither_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n nor_o any_o one_o for_o she_o will_v pretend_v that_o she_o be_v any_o great_a friend_n to_o knowledge_n which_o be_v so_o apt_a to_o make_v man_n heretic_n that_o know_v papist_n be_v not_o behold_v to_o their_o church_n for_o their_o knowledge_n which_o deprive_v they_o of_o all_o the_o mean_n of_o knowledge_n will_v not_o allow_v they_o to_o believe_v their_o sense_n but_o command_v they_o to_o believe_v transubstantiation_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o evidence_n of_o sense_n forbid_v man_n the_o use_n of_o reason_n in_o matter_n of_o religion_n suffer_v they_o not_o to_o judge_v for_o themselves_o nor_o examine_v the_o reason_n of_o their_o faith_n and_o deny_v they_o the_o use_n of_o the_o bible_n which_o be_v the_o only_a mean_n to_o know_v the_o reveal_v will_n of_o god_n and_o when_o man_n must_v neither_o believe_v their_o sense_n nor_o use_v their_o reason_n nor_o read_v the_o scripture_n it_o be_v easy_a to_o guess_v what_o know_v and_o understand_v christian_n they_o must_v needs_o be_v against_o this_o it_o may_v be_v object_v that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n do_v instruct_v her_o child_n in_o the_o true_a christian_a faith_n though_o she_o will_v not_o allow_v they_o to_o read_v the_o scripture_n nor_o judge_n for_o themselves_o which_o be_v the_o safe_a way_n to_o teach_v they_o the_o pure_a catholic_n faith_n without_o danger_n of_o error_n or_o heresy_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v this_o be_v something_o do_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n take_v care_n to_o instruct_v they_o in_o all_o necessary_a doctrine_n and_o to_o teach_v nothing_o but_o what_o be_v true_a and_o can_v such_o man_n who_o thus_o tame_o receive_v the_o dictate_v of_o the_o church_n be_v say_v to_o know_v and_o to_o understand_v their_o religion_n so_o that_o here_o be_v two_o inquiry_n 1._o whether_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n instruct_v her_o child_n in_o all_o necessary_a truth_n and_o nothing_o but_o the_o truth_n 2._o whether_o she_o so_o instruct_v they_o that_o they_o may_v be_v say_v to_o know_v and_o understand_v how_o far_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v from_o do_v the_o first_o i_o say_v all_o christian_n in_o the_o world_n be_v sensible_a but_o themselves_o but_o that_o be_v not_o our_o present_a dispute_n but_o our_o jesuit_n it_o seem_v will_v make_v it_o the_o dispute_n or_o it_o shall_v pass_v for_o a_o perfect_a slander_n 87._o for_o thus_o he_o repeat_v it_o they_o take_v no_o care_n to_o instruct_v mâ—n_z in_o all_o necessary_a doctrine_n which_o i_o do_v not_o positive_o

many_o false_a doctrine_n but_o then_o he_o must_v remember_v what_o i_o mean_v by_o instruct_v it_o be_v not_o mere_o to_o teach_v they_o to_o repeat_v the_o article_n of_o their_o creed_n but_o to_o

do_v not_o right_o instruct_v man_n in_o the_o great_a and_o necessary_a doctrine_n of_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n nor_o in_o the_o nature_n of_o christ_n mediation_n and_o intercession_n for_o we_o nor_o in_o the_o nature_n of_o justification_n or_o of_o gospel_n and_o obedience_n but_o teach_v such_o error_n as_o overthrow_v the_o true_a gospel_n notion_n of_o these_o great_a and_o necessary_a doctrine_n then_o as_o for_o their_o manner_n of_o teach_v to_o require_v man_n to_o believe_v what_o they_o say_v mere_o upon_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n without_o suffer_v they_o to_o examine_v whether_o such_o doctrine_n be_v teach_v in_o scripture_n or_o to_o exercise_v their_o own_o reason_n and_o judgement_n about_o it_o can_v make_v no_o man_n
