the_o visible_a church_n this_o matter_n master_n barrow_n have_v be_v as_o thorough_o pursue_v by_o the_o papist_n as_o ever_o you_o or_o any_o donatist_n shall_v be_v able_a and_o such_o answer_n they_o have_v receive_v from_o the_o church_n that_o have_v make_v separation_n from_o they_o as_o that_o they_o have_v no_o cause_n to_o glory_n the_o ten_o tribe_n remain_v still_o in_o some_o sort_n the_o visible_a church_n and_o under_o the_o covenant_n as_o i_o have_v prove_v before_o but_o yet_o they_o be_v not_o such_o a_o true_a church_n as_o man_n may_v join_v withal_o in_o their_o worship_n and_o therefore_o when_o jeroboam_fw-la have_v set_v up_o the_o golden_a calf_n the_o levite_n depart_v from_o they_o and_o go_v to_o jerusalem_n 2._o chron_n 11._o 23._o 14._o then_o you_o come_v to_o expound_v how_o this_o may_v be_v take_v that_o antichrist_n shall_v sit_v in_o the_o temple_n of_o god_n and_o first_o as_o you_o take_v it_o his_o sit_v in_o the_o temple_n of_o god_n may_v be_v understand_v as_o in_o regard_n that_o he_o take_v his_o original_n before_o he_o be_v reveal_v let_v any_o simple_a man_n look_v upon_o the_o word_n of_o saint_n paul_n and_o see_v whether_o he_o speak_v of_o any_o such_o close_a sit_v then_o that_o he_o shall_v sit_v where_o sometime_o the_o true_a church_n have_v be_v which_o he_o shall_v so_o destroy_v and_o waste_v as_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o shape_n or_o step_n of_o any_o of_o they_o leave_v upon_o the_o earth_n as_o it_o be_v foretell_v matth._n 24_o 29._o revel_v 6._o 14._o see_v what_o two_o place_n master_n barrow_n have_v find_v to_o prove_v antichrist_n shall_v utter_o destroy_v the_o visible_a church_n these_o be_v the_o word_n and_o immediate_o after_o the_o oppression_n of_o those_o day_n the_o sun_n shall_v be_v darken_v &_o the_o moon_n shall_v not_o give_v her_o light_n and_o the_o star_n shall_v fall_v from_o heaven_n and_o the_o power_n of_o heaven_n shall_v be_v shake_v this_o be_v speak_v of_o christ_n come_v to_o judgement_n and_o be_v mean_v indeed_o of_o the_o sun_n the_o moon_n and_o star_n themselves_o and_o therefore_o most_o foolish_o conclude_v that_o antichrist_n shall_v utter_o destroy_v the_o visible_a church_n and_o for_o the_o place_n in_o the_o revelation_n the_o heaven_n depart_v away_o as_o a_o book_n that_o be_v role_v up_o you_o may_v even_o as_o well_o conclude_v that_o the_o whole_a church_n in_o the_o world_n utter_o fail_v as_o to_o say_v therefore_o antichrist_n utter_o deface_v the_o visible_a church_n and_o if_o you_o will_v have_v the_o matter_n try_v by_o so_o dark_a a_o place_n your_o light_n have_v need_v to_o be_v great_a but_o your_o pretty_a reason_n of_o all_o be_v yet_o behind_o antichrist_n shall_v be_v lift_v up_o above_o all_o that_o be_v call_v god_n this_o can_v not_o be_v do_v by_o any_o minister_n in_o the_o church_n see_v every_o soul_n must_v be_v subject_a they_o say_v it_o will_v weary_v a_o old_a body_n to_o follow_v a_o child_n up_o and_o down_o all_o day_n that_o can_v new_a go_v i_o be_o sure_a it_o will_v weary_v any_o man_n to_o follow_v you_o master_n barrow_n in_o all_o your_o trifle_n god_n command_v every_o soul_n shall_v submit_v itself_o unto_o the_o high_a power_n do_v it_o here_o upon_o follow_v that_o if_o a_o king_n usurp_v that_o which_o belong_v to_o god_n they_o must_v therein_o ●●ay_v he_o so_o long_o as_o he_o remain_v their_o king_n also_o when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o be_v god_n you_o say_v what_o blasphemy_n will_v not_o ensue_v if_o this_o shall_v be_v literal_o take_v it_o may_v as_o well_o be_v enforce_v say_v you_o by_o this_o place_n that_o antichrist_n be_v god_n as_o that_o the_o place_n where_o he_o reign_v be_v the_o temple_n of_o god_n you_o will_v not_o have_v this_o place_n expound_v literal_o and_o then_o what_o shall_v we_o make_v of_o it_o or_o how_o shall_v we_o find_v antichrist_n may_v he_o not_o be_v the_o turk_n or_o some_o other_o if_o the_o papist_n can_v prove_v y●_z which_o you_o speak_v but_o with_o some_o little_a show_n how_o much_o will_v they_o glory_v for_o grant_v they_o a_o mystical_a sense_n of_o these_o word_n and_o they_o will_v carry_v it_o whither_o they_o listen_v to_o exalt_v himself_o above_o all_o that_o be_v call_v god_n be_v literal_o speak_v and_o literal_o fulfil_v when_o the_o pope_n exalt_v himself_o above_o all_o king_n and_o emperor_n which_o be_v call_v go_n so_o that_o he_o shall_v sit_v as_o god_n in_o the_o temple_n of_o god_n show_v himself_o that_o he_o be_v god_n what_o blasphemy_n be_v it_o which_o will_v ensue_v if_o these_o word_n be_v all_o construe_v literal_o after_o the_o grammatical_a sense_n the_o word_n do_v not_o import_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v

show_v for_o every_o thing_n that_o a_o show_n be_v make_v of_o be_v not_o so_o in_o truth_n there_o be_v a_o true_a show_n and_o there_o be_v a_o false_a show_n when_o one_o do_v arrogate_v that_o to_o himself_o and_o b●ast_v of_o it_o which_o belong_v not_o unto_o he_o as_o antichrist_n usurp_v not_o only_o a_o earthly_a dignity_n but_o even_o the_o high_a power_n and_o authority_n of_o god_n be_v therefore_o say_v to_o show_v himself_o to_o be_v god_n and_o now_o whereas_o i_o stand_v upon_o this_o that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v a_o true_a church_n of_o god_n before_o popery_n and_o that_o in_o popery_n it_o stand_v a_o member_n or_o part_n of_o the_o universal_a visible_a church_n for_n far_o as_o the_o remnant_n of_o christ_n church_n remain_v not_o utter_o deface_v by_o antichrist_n &_o that_o the_o cast_v out_o of_o antichrist_n and_o his_o law_n and_o usurp_a power_n be_v not_o the_o beginning_n but_o the_o restore_n and_o repair_v or_o recover_v a_o church_n from_o miserable_a desolation_n and_o as_o josias_n and_o other_o godly_a king_n of_o juda_n by_o terror_n of_o punishment_n drive_v idolater_n which_o outward_o stand_v under_o the_o covenant_n be_v cyrcumcise_v from_o false_a worship_n unto_o the_o law_n of_o god_n so_o queen_n elizabeth_n have_v do_v with_o her_o subject_n be_v baptize_v and_o thereby_o bind_v to_o renounce_v false_a worship_n and_o to_o embrace_v the_o holy_a doctrine_n of_o the_o covenant_n here_o you_o say_v that_o to_o make_v my_o conclusion_n follow_v i_o must_v prove_v and_o make_v evident_a demonstration_n by_o scripture_n that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v right_o gather_v unto_o and_o establish_v in_o that_o holy_a faith_n and_o order_n which_o christ_n have_v leave_v unto_o his_o church_n in_o universal_a and_o particular_a according_a to_o the_o rule_n and_o example_n in_o his_o testament_n next_o that_o they_o fall_v not_o away_o from_o this_o holy_a faith_n in_o the_o time_n of_o popery_n and_o that_o now_o they_o continue_v and_o faithful_o walk_v in_o the_o same_o faith_n and_o order_n if_o i_o have_v do_v this_o you_o say_v i_o have_v powerful_o convince_v and_o stop_v the_o mouth_n of_o all_o schismatic_n for_o ever_o i_o see_v you_o can_v make_v your_o mach_v wise_o master_n barrow_n i_o must_v make_v evident_a demonstration_n by_o the_o scripture_n of_o what_o of_o that_o which_o be_v not_o mention_v by_o the_o scripture_n for_o there_o be_v no_o particular_a mention_n of_o plant_v the_o faith_n of_o christ_n in_o england_n if_o we_o show_v it_o out_o of_o ancient_a record_n then_o do_v i_o not_o sa●ilfie_v your_o desire_n at_o all_o again_o it_o must_v be_v show_v by_o the_o scripture_n that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n receive_v orderly_o the_o faith_n and_o order_n of_o christ_n not_o only_o in_o general_n but_o in_o every_o particular_a this_o be_v a_o sure_a knot_n than_o the_o former_a and_o i_o think_v you_o shall_v be_v a_o little_a more_o kind_a for_o the_o honour_n of_o your_o country_n not_o that_o any_o honour_n be_v to_o be_v render_v against_o truth_n but_o whereas_o you_o confess_v that_o a_o true_a church_n may_v err_v in_o diverse_a thing_n so_o that_o it_o be_v not_o convince_v &_o sin_n obstinate_o if_o the_o planter_n of_o the_o faith_n and_o discipline_n of_o christ_n in_o england_n do_v err_v it_o some_o thing_n which_o yet_o you_o know_v not_o how_o can_v you_o tell_v but_o that_o they_o do_v it_o in_o simplicity_n we_o see_v that_o in_o ancient_a time_n and_o of_o late_a day_n god_n have_v have_v many_o child_n in_o england_n which_o have_v be_v beget_v and_o nourish_v up_o in_o the_o land_n and_o have_v acknowledge_v she_o their_o mother_n and_o we_o be_v sure_o hereupon_o that_o god_n have_v put_v his_o covenant_n of_o mercy_n
