that_o juncture_n of_o time_n and_o of_o those_o ordinance_n under_o the_o law_n and_o not_o of_o gospel_n ordinance_n read_v vers_fw-la 7._o where_o he_o say_v that_o their_o burn_a offering_n and_o

star_n fall_v from_o heaven_n to_o earth_n that_o have_v the_o key_n of_o the_o bottomless_a pit_n viz._n a_o evil_a angel_n or_o minister_n as_o i_o understand_v you_o which_o have_v usurp_v all_o

the_o key_n be_v the_o same_o with_o the_o church_n answ_n the_o particular_n considerable_a be_v these_o as_o first_o there_o be_v a_o angel_n that_o have_v usurp_v all_o church_n power_n into_o

he_o be_v in_o heaven_n nay_o but_o i_o remember_v it_o be_v after_o he_o be_v fall_v to_o earth_n and_o than_o it_o be_v not_o the_o key_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n viz._n the_o power_n of_o the_o true_a church_n corrupt_v but_o it_o be_v another_o key_n viz._n another_o power_n ever_o the_o key_n and_o power_n of_o darkness_n and_o indeed_o it_o can_v be_v rational_o imagine_v as_o i_o think_v that_o a_o angel_n that_o be_v to_o say_v or_o minister_n shall_v carry_v all_o the_o power_n and_o authority_n away_o of_o all_o the_o seven_o church_n of_o asia_n which_o have_v seven_o angel_n belong_v unto_o they_o and_o not_o only_o those_o seven_o church_n but_o also_o many_o other_o church_n that_o be_v then_o extant_a upon_o earth_n so_o than_o if_o the_o angel_n receive_v his_o key_n after_o his_o fall_n the_o which_o he_o do_v read_v revel_v 9.1_o 2_o 3_o 4._o then_o it_o can_v not_o be_v the_o key_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n corrupt_v but_o another_o key_n give_v to_o he_o namely_o the_o key_n of_o the_o bottemless_a pit_n and_o what_o proof_n be_v this_o to_o prove_v that_o all_o church_n power_n be_v lose_v when_o a_o angel_n viz._n or_o minister_n fall_v away_o from_o heavenly_a mindedness_n to_o earthly_a mindedness_n let_v the_o rational_a reader_n judge_n second_o that_o the_o key_n speak_v of_o mat._n 16.18_o be_v to_o remain_v in_o the_o

earth_n shall_v be_v loose_v in_o heaven_n from_o these_o word_n we_o may_v see_v that_o christ_n have_v give_v his_o church_n power_n to_o deal_v with_o offender_n and_o to_o bind_v they_o that_o be_v to_o exclude_v they_o from_o that_o communion_n of_o saint_n and_o that_o it_o be_v to_o be_v perpetuate_v be_v plain_a because_o it_o be_v annex_v to_o vers_n 20._o which_o be_v perpetuate_v as_o be_v most_o evident_a thus_o we_o may_v see_v in_o the_o first_o place_n that_o christ_n do_v once_o give_v his_o church_n his_o power_n and_o never_o take_v it_o away_o again_o from_o they_o and_o the_o power_n and_o strength_n of_o hell_n can_v do_v it_o for_o the_o gate_n of_o hell_n shall_v not_o prevail_v against_o it_o and_o sure_o the_o fall_n of_o one_o star_n from_o heaven_n to_o earth_n namely_o the_o fall_n of_o one_o minister_n can_v not_o dispossess_v the_o whole_a body_n of_o christ_n namely_o his_o church_n in_o all_o place_n consist_v of_o many_o particular_a church_n and_o star_n or_o minister_n of_o all_o their_o power_n that_o christ_n give_v unto_o his_o body_n the_o church_n it_o be_v further_o consider_v that_o the_o gate_n of_o hell_n be_v not_o to_o

therefore_o follow_v that_o all_o the_o constable_n in_o the_o seven_o hundred_o or_o in_o that_o division_n have_v lose_v their_o power_n who_o have_v not_o rebel_v and_o the_o several_a parish_n thereby_o lose_v their_o power_n so_o as_o they_o can_v execute_v the_o law_n upon_o offender_n which_o if_o so_o it_o be_v a_o paradox_n unto_o i_o even_o so_o if_o one_o minister_n of_o the_o

therefore_o follow_v that_o all_o the_o other_o church_n and_o minister_n which_o do_v not_o fall_v shall_v lose_v their_o power_n also_o sure_o no_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n to_o be_v give_v to_o

that_o because_o judas_n fall_v and_o lose_v his_o power_n and_o apostle-ship_n therefore_o there_o be_v no_o apostle-ship_n nor_o power_n upon_o earth_n which_o to_o say_v will_v be_v ridiculous_a and_o yet_o there_o be_v as_o good_a reason_n for_o the_o one_o as_o for_o the_o other_o but_o indeed_o no_o reason_n at_o all_o for_o neither_o so_o than_o the_o sum_n of_o what_o can_v be_v say_v from_o revel_v 9.1_o 2_o 3._o be_v that_o there_o be_v a_o star_n that_o fall_v from_o heaven_n to_o earth_n and_o work_v wickedness_n that_o be_v one_o minister_n fall_v from_o heaven_n that_o be_v

of_o thyatira_n and_o i_o call_v the_o gospel_n church_n the_o church_n of_o the_o gentile_n because_o that_o there_o be_v but_o a_o very_a few_o jew_n convert_v it_o be_v the_o gentile_n day_n and_o

for_o they_o be_v all_o one_o in_o christ_n and_o to_o have_v all_o one_o privilege_n and_o as_o for_o the_o manchild_n which_o be_v to_o rule_v all_o nation_n with_o a_o rod_n of_o iron_n we_o see_v

seventy_o year_n of_o captivity_n in_o babylon_n the_o which_o he_o apply_v to_o be_v a_o gospel_n church_n and_o the_o pipe_n there_o speak_v of_o to_o be_v understand_v ordinance_n and_o from_o the_o seven_o pipe_n speak_v of_o vers_n 2._o be_v to_o be_v understand_v the_o practise_v of_o the_o full_a number_n of_o ordinance_n in_o the_o primitive_a time_n and_o the_o two_o golden_a pipe_n in_o vers_fw-la 12._o be_v to_o be_v understand_v the_o least_o of_o number_n and_o that_o least_o of_o number_n relate_v to_o the_o time_n of_o the_o church_n be_v in_o babylon_n that_o then_o the_o lesser_a number_n of_o ordinance_n be_v practicable_a and_o to_o be_v practise_v this_o be_v the_o sum_n in_o short_a that_o i_o gather_v from_o that_o his_o discourse_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v brief_o and_o first_o that_o the_o 4_o chapter_n of_o zech._n be_v a_o prophecy_n of_o a_o gospel_n church_n i_o can_v as_o yet_o see_v nor_o believe_v it_o be_v clear_a that_o it_o be_v a_o pprophecy_n of_o the_o redify_n of_o jerusalem_n and_o the_o candelstick_n the_o lamp_n and_o pipe_n belong_v to_o it_o be_v the_o same_o vessel_n that_o god_n appoint_v in_o the_o temple_n as_o you_o may_v read_v exod._a 25._o leu._n 24.4_o numb_a 4.9_o the_o oil_n vessel_n minister_a unto_o it_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v the_o pipe_n chap._n 8.2_o 2_o king_n 4.10_o 1_o chron._n 28.15_o from_o these_o and_o many_o more_o scripture_n that_o may_v be_v add_v we_o may_v see_v that_o the_o candlestick_n with_o the_o lamp_n and_o pipe_n viz._n the_o minister_a vessel_n unto_o the_o lamp_n and_o candelstick_a be_v the_o same_o that_o god_n show_v unto_o moses_n in_o the_o pattern_n and_o appoint_v it_o to_o remain_v in_o the_o temple_n and_o after_o that_o pattern_n it_o be_v make_v in_o solomon_n time_n and_o the_o very_a same_o be_v to_o be_v after_o the_o seventy_o year_n of_o captivity_n and_o it_o be_v far_o more_o evident_a because_o if_o we_o observe_v the_o prophecy_n of_o haggai_n who_o speak_v of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n he_o will_v tell_v we_o that_o zerubbabel_n and_o joshua_n according_a to_o zechariahs_n word_n that_o he_o shall_v lay_v the_o foundation_n and_o also_o finish_v it_o hag._n 1.14_o zech._n 4.9_o and_o that_o this_o pprophecy_n relate_v to_o jerusalem_n read_v haggai_n and_o zechariah_n at_o large_a i_o do_v not_o say_v that_o it_o relate_v only_o to_o the_o rebuild_n of_o jerusalem_n and_o the_o temple_n at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o seventy_o year_n captivity_n but_o in_o it_o be_v a_o prophecy_n of_o the_o redify_n of_o the_o city_n and_o temple_n destroy_v since_o by_o titus_n vespasian_n which_o be_v yet_o to_o be_v build_v again_o according_a to_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n rev._n 11._o but_o more_o of_o that_o anon_o but_o in_o a_o short_a sentence_n i_o further_o add_v this_o as_o a_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o prophecy_n of_o zechariah_n chap._n 4._o most_o primely_a relate_v to_o the_o redify_n of_o jerusalem_n at_o their_o come_n out_o of_o the_o seventy_o year_n of_o captivity_n because_o that_o both_o haggai_n and_o zechariah_n have_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n come_v to_o they_o both_o at_o that_o time_n as_o to_o haggai_n the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n come_v to_o he_o in_o the_o six_o &_o seven_o month_n in_o the_o second_o year_n of_o darius_n chap._n 1.1_o chap._n 2.1_o and_o to_o zechariah_n it_o come_v in_o the_o eight_o month_n in_o the_o same_o year_n zech._n 1.1_o and_o the_o work_n of_o both_o prophet_n be_v to_o stir_v up_o the_o people_n to_o the_o work_n of_o building_n of_o the_o house_n of_o god_n for_o they_o be_v hinder_v by_o subtlety_n in_o the_o day_n of_o cyrus_n because_o that_o zerubbabel_n and_o joshua_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o chief_a of_o the_o father_n will_v not_o let_v the_o people_n of_o the_o land_n build_v with_o they_o as_o you_o may_v see_v at_o large_a in_o ezra_n 4.1_o 2_o 3_o 4_o 5_o 6._o that_o they_o at_o last_o out_o of_o custom_n grow_v careless_a and_o be_v content_a to_o live_v in_o their_o seal_a house_n and_o let_v the_o house_n of_o god_n lie_v waste_v hag._n 1.2_o and_o hence_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n stir_v they_o up_o by_o the_o two_o fore_n mention_v prophet_n namely_o haggai_n and_o zechariah_n that_o they_o may_v go_v on_o to_o finish_v the_o work_n for_o zerubbabel_n have_v begin_v it_o before_o and_o lay_v the_o foundation_n in_o the_o day_n of_o cyrus_n and_o be_v stop_v as_o before_o say_v he_o be_v to_o finish_v it_o in_o the_o day_n of_o darius_n which_o agree_v with_o the_o word_n of_o zechariah_n chap._n 4.9_o in_o these_o word_n the_o hand_n of_o zerubbabel_n have_v lay_v the_o foundation_n of_o this_o house_n his_o hand_n also_o shall_v finish_v it_o compare_v haggai_n with_o the_o four_o first_o chapter_n of_o zechariah_n and_o compare_v they_o both_o with_o ezra_n 3.8.9_o 10._o chap._n 4.1_o 2_o 3_o 4_o 5_o 6._o and_o you_o may_v clear_o see_v that_o what_o i_o have_v say_v be_v undeniable_o true_a and_o that_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o zechariah_n speak_v of_o in_o chap._n 4._o which_o mr._n henden_fw-ge will_v have_v to_o be_v a_o
