we_o but_o here_o i_o shall_v entreat_v thou_o christian_n reader_n to_o consider_v what_o will_v become_v of_o this_o doctrine_n of_o our_o adversary_n they_o say_v god_n see_v no_o sin_n in_o jacob_n nor_o transgression_n in_o israel_n therefore_o be_v secure_a and_o let_v we_o sin_n that_o grace_n may_v abound_v 2._o observe_v that_o if_o there_o be_v no_o sin_n than_o the_o soul_n be_v make_v righteous_a but_o a_o righteous_a soul_n need_v no_o saviour_n therefore_o no_o wonder_n that_o our_o adversary_n deny_v christ_n again_o where_o there_o be_v no_o sin_n there_o be_v perfection_n of_o grace_n but_o where_o there_o be_v perfection_n of_o grace_n there_o must_v also_o be_v perfection_n of_o glory_n for_o so_o much_o as_o glory_n be_v the_o reward_n of_o grace_n therefore_o by_o their_o own_o consequent_a they_o must_v and_o do_v enjoy_v heaven_n upon_o earth_n which_o have_v and_o do_v make_v some_o of_o they_o not_o only_o not_o ashamed_a to_o deny_v the_o resurrection_n and_o general_a judgement_n but_o also_o plain_o to_o give_v forth_o millenatie_n the_o f●milist_n and_o the_o millenatie_n that_o the_o resurrection_n be_v already_o past_a that_o heaven_n be_v upon_o earth_n and_o that_o they_o enjoy_v christ_n here_o in_o the_o flesh_n if_o this_o be_v not_o apostasy_n i_o know_v not_o what_o be_v i_o can_v but_o wonder_v therefore_o that_o our_o adversary_n will_v separate_v themselves_o from_o we_o 19_o judas_n 19_o see_v we_o have_v more_o reason_n to_o separate_v ourselves_o from_o they_o but_o they_o be_v go_v from_o among_o we_o because_o they_o be_v not_o of_o we_o 2.19_o 1_o joh._n 2.19_o and_o herein_o they_o be_v far_o worse_o than_o the_o pope_n for_o albeit_o he_o have_v swarve_v in_o some_o thing_n yet_o have_v he_o not_o deny_v the_o article_n of_o the_o faith_n as_o it_o be_v prove_v our_o adversary_n both_o have_v and_o do_v and_o therefore_o also_o i_o must_v confess_v i_o shall_v have_v take_v the_o pope_n to_o have_v be_v the_o antichrist_n but_o that_o i_o find_v a_o worse_a to_o stand_v up_o in_o his_o room_n it_o be_v say_v of_o that_o man_n of_o sin_n and_o son_n of_o perdition_n 2.1_o ●_o these_o 2.1_o that_o he_o oppose_v and_o exalt_v himself_o above_o all_o that_o be_v call_v god_n or_o that_o be_v worship_v so_o that_o as_o god_n he_o sit_v in_o the_o temple_n of_o god_n show_v himself_o that_o he_o be_v god_n and_o do_v not_o our_o adversary_n so_o for_o in_o the_o first_o place_n they_o take_v themselves_o to_o be_v the_o only_a people_n of_o god_n condemn_v all_o but_o themselves_o 2._o they_o oppose_v and_o advance_v themselves_o above_o all_o that_o be_v call_v god_n above_o christ_n above_o the_o scripture_n above_o people_n above_o priest_n above_o magistrate_n above_o minister_n and_o above_o all_o the_o world_n so_o that_o their_o power_n may_v well_o be_v compare_v unto_o the_o bear_n foot_n speak_v of_o in_o the_o revelation_n which_o in_o daniel_n be_v say_v to_o break_v in_o piece_n 7.6_o rev._n 13_o 2._o dan._n 7.6_o to_o devour_v yea_o and_o to_o stamp_v all_o thing_n under_o its_o foot_n i_o read_v of_o a_o woman_n in_o the_o revelation_n that_o be_v clothe_v with_o the_o sun_n 12.1_o rev._n 12.1_o and_o have_v twelve_o star_n upon_o her_o head_n and_o have_v the_o moon_n under_o her_o foot_n but_o i_o never_o read_v of_o a_o woman_n that_o trample_v both_o sun_n moon_n &_o star_n &_o all_o under_o her_o foot_n four_o our_o adversary_n do_v not_o only_o deny_v scripture_n in_o general_a by_o calumniate_a and_o traduce_v it_o but_o also_o in_o particular_a in_o flat_o deny_v some_o part_n of_o it_o as_o first_o the_o book_n of_o psalm_n question_v the_o author_n because_o some_o of_o the_o psalm_n bear_v the_o title_n of_o other_o beside_o david_n 2._o they_o question_v the_o first_o and_o second_o book_n of_o the_o king_n because_o they_o be_v think_v to_o contain_v no_o other_o thing_n then_o what_o be_v express_v and_o set_v

amos_n 1.1_o 4._o in_o the_o new_a testament_n some_o of_o they_o question_n saint_n luke_n gospel_n and_o the_o act_n because_o the_o author_n be_v a_o physician_n the_o book_n of_o the_o hebrew_n because_o the_o author_n be_v uncertain_a the_o epistle_n of_o saint_n judas_n because_o there_o be_v one_o of_o christ_n kinsman_n of_o that_o name_n in_o mathewes_n gospel_n because_o he_o be_v a_o publican_n and_o the_o revelation_n because_o it_o be_v write_v in_o john_n banishment_n when_o he_o be_v in_o the_o isle_n of_o patmos_n final_o and_o in_o a_o word_n they_o make_v but_o little_a or_o no_o account_n of_o the_o whole_a book_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n because_o they_o conceive_v old_a thing_n be_v do_v away_o and_o all_o thing_n be_v become_v new_a 5.17_o 2_o cor._n 5.17_o not_o weigh_v that_o the_o two_o testament_n be_v like_o twin_n or_o the_o two_o table_n of_o stone_n in_o so_o much_o that_o whosoever_o embrace_v the_o one_o must_v also_o make_v use_n of_o the_o other_o because_o what_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o one_o be_v also_o conclude_v in_o the_o other_o for_o as_o the_o old_a testament_n which_o contain_v the_o law_n do_v also_o include_v the_o gospel_n by_o way_n of_o promise_n and_o revelation_n so_o the_o new_a testament_n which_o contain_v the_o gospel_n 34.35_o joh._n 13_o 34.35_o do_v also_o include_v the_o law_n by_o way_n of_o precept_n

god_n have_v join_v together_o let_v no_o man_n put_v asunder_o last_o as_o our_o adversary_n the_o independent_o deny_v god_n deny_v christ_n deny_v the_o scripture_n so_o likewise_o they_o deny_v all_o humane_a power_n and_o authority_n whether_o it_o be_v ecclesiastical_a or_o civil_a government_n and_o first_o they_o deny_v humane_a authority_n in_o the_o church_n for_o they_o will_v have_v no_o superior_a in_o the_o same_o and_o their_o reason_n be_v 23.8_o mat._n 23.8_o because_o they_o be_v brethren_n forget_v that_o timothy_n be_v bishop_n of_o ephesus_n and_z titus_n bishop_n of_o

6_o of_o the_o act_n and_o 5_o verse_n i_o deny_v not_o but_o that_o there_o be_v also_o lay-elders_a who_o we_o call_v churchwarden_n but_o they_o serve_v only_o to_o keep_v the_o treasury_n of_o the_o church_n and_o to_o see_v good_a order_n and_o decorum_n keep_v in_o it_o and_o be_v join_v with_o the_o preach_n elder_n but_o may_v not_o meddle_v with_o the_o dispensation_n of_o the_o word_n second_o as_o scripture_n do_v allow_v of_o ecclesiastical_a government_n so_o of_o civil_a or_o political_a and_o first_o whereas_o our_o bless_a saviour_n tell_v pilate_n that_o he_o can_v have_v

a_o infidel_n and_o the_o apostle_n exhort_v we_o to_o be_v subject_a unto_o the_o high_a power_n 13.1_o ro._n 13.1_o declare_v withal_o as_o christ_n have_v do_v before_o that_o there_o be_v no_o
