and_o i_o tell_v they_o plain_o that_o i_o hold_v the_o church_n of_o england_n as_o it_o be_v by_o the_o authority_n of_o prince_n and_o by_o law_n establish_v to_o be_v the_o best_a reform_a so_o general_o consider_v this_o day_n in_o the_o world_n and_o that_o i_o do_v believe_v god_n have_v a_o special_a respect_n unto_o it_o above_o any_o one_o nation_n or_o kingdom_n whatsoever_o and_o that_o he_o have_v many_o faithful_a servant_n son_n and_o daughter_n therein_o and_o much_o people_n to_o save_v for_o who_o sake_n the_o rest_n do_v fare_v well_o and_o be_v the_o more_o happy_a these_o be_v my_o answer_n to_o their_o question_n touch_v the_o church_n or_o to_o this_o very_a effect_n as_o some_o that_o be_v there_o present_a and_o hear_v i_o as_o well_o as_o they_o can_v testify_v it_o seem_v that_o upon_o my_o answer_n to_o their_o question_n of_o the_o outward_a state_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n if_o all_o in_o general_n be_v the_o true_a church_n of_o christ_n or_o of_o it_o because_o i_o say_v nay_o i_o can_v not_o say_v so_o therefore_o they_o presume_v to_o swear_v that_o i_o hold_v and_o publish_v that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n as_o it_o be_v now_o by_o law_n establish_v be_v no_o true_a church_n of_o christ_n as_o if_o i_o will_v have_v some_o other_o outward_a form_n establish_v to_o make_v a_o true_a church_n or_o that_o none_o can_v be_v in_o the_o outward_a state_n of_o the_o church_n and_o partake_v with_o it_o in_o the_o outward_a call_n of_o the_o ministry_n preach_v administer_a hear_v receive_v but_o regenerate_a person_n only_o all_o which_o be_v far_o from_o my_o thought_n so_o that_o in_o this_o also_o as_o well_o as_o the_o former_a they_o be_v very_o false_a witness_n and_o concerning_o robrowgh_n testimony_n who_o depose_v that_o because_o i_o say_v the_o true_a church_n do_v consist_v of_o the_o regenerate_a therefore_o i_o teach_v and_o maintain_v that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n as_o it_o be_v now_o by_o law_n establish_v be_v not_o a_o true_a church_n of_o christ_n my_o answer_n be_v that_o if_o mr._n robrowgh_n can_v and_o when_o he_o shall_v prove_v that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n as_o it_o be_v now_o by_o law_n establish_v be_v not_o part_v of_o the_o holy_a catholic_a church_n of_o christ_n whereof_o all_o be_v saint_n then_o will_v i_o grant_v his_o testimony_n to_o be_v true_a in_o the_o mean_a time_n he_o be_v a_o false_a accuser_n and_o one_o that_o do_v deny_v the_o church_n of_o england_n now_o by_o law_n establish_v to_o be_v part_n of_o the_o true_a holy_a catholic_a church_n of_o christ_n of_o the_o communion_n of_o saint_n prove_v himself_o guilty_a of_o that_o whereof_o he_o charge_v i_o it_o will_v small_a avail_n the_o church_n of_o england_n to_o have_v the_o name_n of_o a_o true_a church_n and_o not_o to_o be_v of_o the_o holy_a catholic_a church_n which_o the_o creed_n and_o the_o scripture_n do_v describe_v unto_o we_o and_o require_v we_o to_o believe_v and_o acknowledge_v for_o christ_n true_a church_n his_o body_n his_o spouse_n etc._n etc._n for_o although_o all_o be_v not_o saint_n that_o be_v in_o the_o church_n as_o touch_v the_o outward_a estate_n and_o society_n thereof_o yet_o as_o touch_v the_o true_a spiritual_a communion_n all_o be_v saint_n that_o be_v of_o it_o and_o be_v one_o body_n and_o one_o

be_v of_o we_o they_o will_v no_o doubt_n have_v continue_v with_o we_o but_o they_o go_v out_o that_o they_o may_v manifest_v that_o they_o be_v not_o all_o of_o we_o and_o st._n paul_n again_o but_o christ_n the_o son_n over_o his_o own_o house_n 6._o who_o house_n be_v we_o if_o we_o hold_v fast_o the_o confidence_n and_o the_o rejoice_n of_o the_o hope_n firm_a unto_o the_o end_n so_o that_o they_o only_o which_o be_v true_o faithful_a and_o hold_v fast_o the_o confidence_n etc._n etc._n be_v the_o true_a church_n of_o christ_n if_o

be_v prove_v then_o without_o all_o doubt_n it_o must_v be_v some_o special_a necessary_a principle_n of_o christ_n call_v in_o scripture_n by_o the_o name_n of_o baptism_n and_o signify_v also_o by_o

in_o the_o first_o place_n to_o the_o first_o plantation_n of_o a_o christian_n be_v also_o manifest_a by_o sundry_a scripture_n where_o the_o holy_a ghost_n say_v repent_v and_o believe_v the_o
