matter_n by_o your_o juggle_n where_o there_o be_v none_o to_o resist_v you_o nor_o hold_v out_o the_o light_n in_o opposition_n to_o your_o false_a figure_n but_o if_o they_o be_v there_o they_o

crow_v on_o his_o own_o miksen_n and_o that_o make_v you_o so_o bold_a where_o you_o be_v sure_a you_o shall_v have_v no_o opposition_n but_o mr._n edwards_n now_o i_o will_v counsel_v you_o to_o muster_v up_o all_o your_o army_n you_o brag_v of_o and_o come_v forth_o set_v up_o your_o colour_n and_o pitch_v a_o field_n with_o the_o separation_n bring_v forth_o all_o your_o strong_a reason_n not_o only_o the_o last_o conceive_v your_o latter_a thought_n and_o study_n but_o also_o your_o large_a tractate_v against_o the_o whole_a way_n of_o separation_n which_o be_v the_o first_o conceive_v of_o old_a which_o you_o promise_v in_o your_o former_a book_n *_o introduction_n for_o you_o have_v bring_v no_o argument_n in_o your_o antipologia_fw-la against_o separation_n from_o a_o false_a church_n and_o false_a ministry_n but_o you_o have_v challenge_v all_o high_a and_o low_a anabaptist_n separatist_n and_o semiseparate_v etc._n etc._n to_o bring_v a_o ground_n from_o scripture_n for_o the_o lawfulness_n of_o separate_n from_o a_o true_a church_n which_o thing_n we_o never_o strive_v for_o for_o we_o know_v it_o be_v utter_o unlawful_a but_o this_o be_v your_o policy_n especial_o when_o you_o preach_v upon_o the_o house_n top_n to_o make_v the_o people_n believe_v that_o those_o who_o separate_v from_o the_o church_n of_o england_n separate_v from_o a_o true_a church_n but_o this_o be_v you_o to_o prove_v i_o therefore_o challenge_v you_o now_o to_o prove_v by_o the_o scripture_n that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v a_o true_a church_n and_o the_o ministry_n thereof_o a_o true_a ministry_n and_o that_o they_o have_v a_o true_a outward_a call_n which_o yet_o you_o have_v not_o do_v neither_o have_v you_o bring_v any_o argument_n neither_o in_o your_o former_a book_n nor_o in_o this_o antipologia_fw-la that_o prove_v your_o church_n and_o ministry_n true_a and_o i_o think_v you_o dare_v not_o deny_v but_o that_o these_o be_v substantial_n and_o not_o some_o of_o your_o mere_a circumstance_n which_o you_o will_v have_v decide_v without_o the_o word_n of_o god_n *_o 73._o for_o if_o the_o church_n be_v but_o a_o circumstance_n and_o the_o call_n of_o the_o ministry_n a_o mere_a circumstance_n than_o you_o need_v not_o stand_v so_o much_o for_o it_o and_o upon_o ordination_n from_o the_o pope_n for_o if_o ever_o you_o be_v true_a minister_n of_o jesus_n christ_n it_o must_v be_v without_o that_o and_o therefore_o it_o appear_v to_o be_v you_o who_o have_v ordination_n by_o person_n that_o be_v not_o ordain_v and_o not_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o separation_n for_o god_n have_v ordain_v his_o church_n to_o ordain_v their_o own_o minister_n but_o have_v not_o ordain_v the_o church_n of_o england_n nor_o the_o ministry_n thereof_o at_o all_o wherefore_o it_o appear_v that_o you_o can_v have_v no_o true_a ordination_n unless_o you_o become_v separate_a and_o all_o your_o argument_n in_o your_o former_a book_n tend_v to_o the_o keep_n down_o of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o power_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o all_o the_o tale_n which_o you_o tell_v in_o your_o antipologia_fw-la tend_v to_o the_o defame_n of_o your_o brethren_n as_o they_o come_v from_o you_o but_o as_o your_o tale_n be_v in_o themselves_o many_o of_o they_o turn_v to_o the_o praise_n of_o those_o who_o you_o will_v defame_v as_o for_o instance_n you_o tell_v we_o of_o their_o humility_n and_o that_o they_o say_v that_o they_o dare_v not_o take_v upon_o they_o to_o determine_v all_o the_o way_n of_o god_n for_o aught_o i_o know_v they_o do_v well_o 13.14_o for_o the_o prophet_n david_n who_o be_v not_o only_o a_o king_n but_o a_o prophet_n of_o god_n and_o a_o man_n after_o god_n own_o heart_n think_v not_o himself_o sufficient_a for_o that_o work_n of_o universal_a determine_n which_o you_o may_v plain_o see_v in_o the_o 119._o psalm_n where_o he_o so_o often_o desire_v of_o the_o lord_n to_o teach_v he_o his_o way_n statute_n precept_n commandment_n testimony_n law_n and_o to_o direct_v he_o in_o his_o word_n yet_o david_n refresh_v not_o there_o but_o strike_v covenant_n with_o god_n promise_v that_o he_o will_v run_v the_o way_n of_o god_n commandment_n when_o he_o have_v learn_v they_o *_o 119.32_o and_o also_o that_o he_o will_v teach_v other_o when_o the_o lord_n have_v teach_v he_o even_o as_o you_o say_v these_o man_n have_v do_v for_o you_o report_v that_o they_o be_v active_a for_o their_o way_n now_o if_o god_n have_v make_v know_v his_o way_n to_o they_o more_o full_o than_o he_o have_v do_v heretofore_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v more_o active_a for_o it_o and_o as_o god_n enlarge_v their_o heart_n so_o to_o enlarge_v his_o praise_n you_o tell_v we_o of_o a_o sort_n of_o anabaptist_n that_o will_v preach_v on_o the_o top_n of_o house_n because_o they_o will_v imitate_v the_o apostle_n but_o have_v you_o not_o now_o take_v their_o turn_n for_o these_o man_n as_o you_o say_v even_o the_o apologist_n with_o divers_a other_o have_v of_o late_o preach_v not_o only_o to_o the_o parliament_n but_o also_o to_o the_o people_n in_o divers_a place_n which_o you_o

therefore_o it_o be_v good_a for_o you_o and_o all_o person_n to_o labour_n to_o be_v clothe_v with_o humility_n for_o god_n have_v promise_v to_o teach_v the_o humble_a his_o way_n you_o say_v
