very_o pretty_a thing_n to_o be_v prove_v by_o note_n as_o to_o consider_v they_o particular_o 1._o to_o find_v out_o which_o be_v the_o true_a church_n before_o we_o know_v what_o a_o true_a church_n

deal_n of_o talk_n and_o noise_n in_o the_o world_n about_o a_o church_n but_o that_o be_v no_o proof_n that_o there_o be_v a_o church_n and_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o a_o self-evident_a proposition_n that_o there_o be_v a_o church_n and_o therefore_o it_o must_v be_v prove_v now_o that_o there_o be_v a_o church_n must_v be_v prove_v by_o note_n as_o well_o as_o which_o be_v this_o true_a church_n or_o else_o the_o whole_a design_n of_o note_n be_v lose_v and_o i_o will_v glad_o see_v those_o note_n which_o prove_v that_o there_o be_v a_o church_n before_o we_o know_v what_o a_o church_n be_v to_o understand_v the_o mystery_n of_o this_o we_o must_v brief_o consider_v the_o reason_n and_o use_v of_o note_n in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n according_a to_o the_o popish_a resolution_n of_o faith_n into_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n the_o first_o thing_n we_o must_v know_v be_v which_o be_v the_o true_a church_n for_o we_o must_v receive_v the_o scripture_n and_o the_o interpretation_n of_o they_o and_o the_o whole_a christian_a faith_n and_o worship_n from_o the_o church_n and_o therefore_o can_v know_v nothing_o of_o religion_n till_o we_o have_v find_v the_o church_n the_o use_n then_o of_o note_n be_v to_o find_v out_o the_o church_n before_o and_o without_o the_o scripture_n for_o if_o they_o admit_v of_o a_o scripture-proof_n they_o must_v allow_v that_o we_o can_v know_v and_o understand_v the_o scripture_n without_o the_o authority_n or_o interpretation_n of_o the_o church_n which_o undermine_v the_o very_a foundation_n of_o popery_n now_o i_o first_o desire_n to_o know_v how_o they_o will_v prove_v that_o there_o be_v a_o church_n without_o the_o scripture_n that_o you_o will_v say_v be_v visible_a itself_o for_o we_o see_v a_o christian_a church_n in_o the_o world_n but_o what_o be_v it_o i_o see_v i_o see_v a_o company_n of_o man_n who_o call_v themselves_o a_o church_n and_o this_o be_v all_o that_o i_o can_v see_v and_o be_v this_o see_v a_o church_n a_o church_n must_v have_v a_o divine_a original_a and_o institution_n and_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o see_v a_o church_n without_o see_v its_o character_n for_o there_o can_v be_v no_o other_o note_n or_o mark_v of_o the_o be_v of_o a_o church_n but_o the_o institution_n of_o it_o and_o this_o prove_v that_o we_o can_v know_v that_o there_o be_v a_o church_n without_o know_v in_o some_o measure_n what_o this_o church_n be_v for_o the_o charter_n which_o find_v the_o church_n must_v declare_v the_o nature_n and_o constitution_n of_o it_o what_o its_o faith_n and_o worship_n and_o law_n and_o privilege_n be_v but_o now_o these_o essential_a character_n of_o a_o church_n must_v not_o be_v reckon_v by_o the_o romanist_n among_o the_o note_n of_o a_o church_n for_o than_o we_o must_v find_v out_o the_o true_a church_n by_o the_o true_a faith_n and_o the_o true_a worship_n not_o the_o true_a faith_n by_o the_o true_a church_n which_o destroy_v popery_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o these_o note-maker_n never_o attempt_v to_o give_v we_o any_o note_n whereby_o we_o shall_v know_v that_o there_o be_v a_o church_n or_o what_o this_o church_n be_v for_o there_o be_v no_o note_n of_o these_o but_o such_o as_o they_o dare_v not_o give_v viz._n the_o authority_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o every_o man_n private_a judgement_n of_o the_o sense_n and_o interpretation_n of_o they_o for_o at_o least_o till_o we_o have_v find_v a_o church_n we_o must_v judge_n for_o ourselves_o and_o then_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n come_v too_o late_o for_o we_o must_v first_o judge_v upon_o the_o whole_a of_o religion_n if_o we_o must_v find_v out_o a_o true_a church_n by_o the_o true_a faith_n before_o we_o can_v know_v the_o true_a church_n and_o we_o can_v rely_v on_o her_o authority_n before_o we_o know_v she_o and_o therefore_o they_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o there_o be_v a_o church_n which_o they_o can_v never_o

but_o all_o true_a christian_a church_n in_o the_o world_n unite_v together_o by_o one_o common_a faith_n and_o worship_n and_o such_o act_n of_o communion_n as_o distinct_a church_n be_v capable_a of_o and_o oblige_v to_o every_o particular_a church_n which_o profess_v the_o true_a faith_n and_o worship_n of_o christ_n be_v a_o true_a christian_a church_n and_o the_o catholic_n church_n be_v
