2.21_o for_o the_o holy_a apostle_n which_o i_o think_v know_v as_o much_o of_o the_o mind_n of_o god_n as_o any_o pope_n or_o prelate_n now_o

say_v holy_a paul_n to_o timothy_n if_o thou_o put_v the_o brethren_n in_o the_o remembrance_n of_o these_o thing_n thou_o shall_v be_v a_o good_a minister_n of_o jesus_n christ_n nourish_v up_o in_o the_o word_n of_o faith_n and_o of_o good_a doctrine_n whereunto_o thou_o have_v attain_v but_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o say_v as_o you_o do_v that_o if_o thou_o bring_v in_o a_o form_n of_o godliness_n or_o a_o set-form_n of_o god_n worship_n thou_o shall_v be_v a_o good_a man_n or_o a_o good_a minister_n of_o jesus_n christ_n that_o be_v far_o from_o the_o apostle_n meaning_n he_o rather_o mean_v if_o thou_o put_v the_o brethren_n in_o remembrance_n to_o shun_v a_o form_n of_o godliness_n and_o turn_v from_o they_o and_o all_o other_o wile_n and_o deceit_n of_o antichrist_n than_o thou_o shall_v be_v a_o good_a minister_n of_o jesus_n christ_n page_n 23._o he_o say_v that_o as_o christ_n and_o the_o whole_a multitude_n of_o believer_n his_o member_n make_v up_o one_o christ_n so_o likewise_o the_o congregation_n of_o the_o wicked_a the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o devil_n which_o be_v all_o the_o company_n of_o wicked_a reprobate_n and_o ungodly_a man_n be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o spouse_n of_o their_o head_n and_o husband_n the_o devil_n and_o the_o soul_n and_o body_n of_o the_o beast_n and_o antichrist_n and_o page_n 26._o he_o do_v confident_o avouch_v that_o the_o great_a antichrist_n be_v a_o great_a pack_n or_o company_n collect_v and_o combine_v together_o by_o a_o solemn_a league_n and_o covenant_n to_o do_v such_o and_o such_o feat_n and_o fact_n etc._n etc._n i_o answer_v first_o that_o if_o all_o the_o whole_a company_n and_o body_n of_o wicked_a reprobate_n and_o ungodly_a man_n be_v the_o spouse_n of_o the_o devil_n their_o head_n and_o husband_n and_o so_o the_o beast_n and_o antichrist_n then_o he_o may_v if_o he_o please_v see_v his_o own_o mistake_n in_o apply_v it_o to_o a_o particular_a company_n of_o wicked_a ungodly_a man_n the_o long_a parliament_n and_o presbyterian_o etc._n etc._n for_o they_o be_v neither_o all_o nor_o the_o hundred_o thousand_o part_n of_o all_o the_o wicked_a reprobate_n and_o ungodly_a man_n that_o be_v in_o the_o world_n which_o be_v as_o he_o say_v the_o spouse_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o make_v up_o the_o body_n of_o antichrist_n who_o seat_n and_o residence_n be_v not_o in_o any_o particular_a city_n in_o the_o world_n but_o he_o say_v page_n 60._o to_o be_v understand_v for_o the_o great_a and_o spacious_a confuse_a city_n of_o the_o world_n and_o indeed_o he_o make_v a_o confuse_a business_n of_o it_o for_o if_o it_o be_v so_o than_o this_o pack_n or_o company_n of_o wicked_a reprobate_n that_o be_v the_o spouse_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o the_o antichrist_n himself_o the_o bishop_n contradict_v himself_o must_v contain_v all_o the_o wicked_a reprobate_n of_o his_o spacious_a confuse_a city_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o therefore_o be_v improper_o apply_v to_o the_o long_a parliament_n etc._n etc._n and_o what_o he_o say_v in_o the_o 60th_o page_n be_v a_o flat_a and_o absolute_a contradiction_n to_o what_o he_o say_v in_o the_o 26_o page_n 2_o if_o the_o long_a parliament_n and_o assembly_n of_o divine_n at_o westminster_n etc._n etc._n have_v be_v all_o the_o body_n of_o reprobate_n and_o ungodly_a man_n in_o the_o confuse_a city_n of_o the_o world_n that_o there_o have_v be_v no_o more_o to_o be_v find_v in_o the_o world_n but_o they_o then_o sure_o he_o may_v have_v find_v many_o pure_a church_n in_o the_o world_n for_o antichrist_n to_o have_v rise_v up_o in_o than_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v which_o by_o his_o computation_n contain_v the_o whole_a company_n of_o reprobate_n and_o wicked_a man_n for_o before_o this_o their_o apostasy_n there_o be_v many_o wicked_a reprobate_n in_o it_o thus_o all_o man_n that_o read_v may_v see_v what_o pure_a nonsense_n here_o be_v bring_v to_o prove_v the_o long_a parliament_n and_o presbyterian_o etc._n etc._n to_o be_v the_o great_a antichrist_n and_o to_o excuse_v the_o pope_n who_o be_v the_o antichrist_n for_o his_o own_o argument_n make_v direct_o against_o himself_o as_o to_o the_o business_n for_o which_o he_o intend_v they_o and_o yet_o he_o think_v no_o man_n can_v show_v he_o his_o mistake_n 3_o whereas_o you_o avouch_v that_o antichrist_n be_v a_o company_n of_o man_n combine_v together_o in_o a_o solemn_a league_n and_o covenant_n to_o do_v such_o and_o such_o feat_n and_o fact_n of_o which_o feat_n and_o fact_n you_o say_v page_z 24._o that_o this_o

the_o right_a service_n of_o god_n and_o all_o piety_n from_o the_o earth_n as_o you_o say_v the_o holy_a ghost_n say_v these_o wicked_a senator_n have_v which_o be_v thus_o combine_v in_o a_o

then_o cunning_o propound_v the_o question_n whether_o the_o assembly_n at_o westminster_n be_v not_o such_o a_o combination_n and_o fulfil_v all_o the_o prophecy_n that_o prophesy_v of_o antichrist_n i_o take_v not_o upon_o i_o to_o defend_v the_o covenant_n but_o demand_v of_o you_o or_o any_o else_o how_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v that_o those_o that_o take_v it_o be_v thereby_o conglutinate_v
