christian_a in_o the_o whole_a church_n of_o rome_n for_o if_o they_o be_v not_o baptize_v then_o it_o be_v certain_a they_o be_v no_o christian_n nor_o member_n of_o the_o visible_a church_n and_o that_o they_o be_v true_o baptise_a be_v impossible_a for_o man_n certain_o to_o know_v for_o if_o the_o minister_n who_o baptise_a he_o do_v not_o intend_v it_o he_o be_v not_o baptise_a and_o what_o

impossible_a for_o i_o certain_o to_o know_v so_o that_o although_o i_o may_v certain_o know_v that_o another_o man_n be_v true_o baptise_a yet_o no_o man_n in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n can_v be_v

i_o can_v never_o certain_o know_v because_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o i_o to_o be_v assure_v that_o they_o have_v be_v true_o baptise_a by_o any_o minister_n real_o intend_v it_o now_o admit_v

consequent_o that_o there_o be_v any_o true_a bishop_n for_o it_o be_v certain_a every_o true_a bishop_n must_v be_v a_o priest_n now_o if_o none_o can_v be_v certain_a that_o there_o be_v any_o true_a bishop_n or_o priest_n in_o the_o roman_a church_n then_o see_v it_o be_v certain_a that_o bishop_n and_o priest_n and_o true_a order_n be_v necessary_a to_o the_o be_v of_o a_o true_a church_n it_o evident_o follow_v that_o they_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v certain_a that_o their_o church_n be_v infallible_a that_o they_o neither_o be_v nor_o can_v be_v certain_a that_o their_o church_n be_v any_o true_a church_n at_o all_o 3._o upon_o the_o same_o principle_n marriage_n be_v with_o they_o a_o sacrament_n and_o the_o intention_n of_o the_o minister_n who_o marry_v any_o be_v

be_v the_o miserable_a condition_n of_o all_o communicant_n in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n that_o for_o aught_o they_o do_v or_o can_v certain_o know_v they_o be_v most_o impious_a idolater_n now_o let_v any_o intelligent_a and_o pious_a person_n judge_n whether_o our_o most_o wise_a and_o gracious_a god_n have_v leave_v his_o church_n in_o such_o a_o miserable_a condition_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v in_o the_o power_n of_o wicked_a minister_n to_o make_v all_o his_o people_n abominable_a idolater_n 2._o the_o second_o thing_n i_o name_v from_o which_o the_o great_a incertainty_n of_o the_o

that_o the_o roman_a catholic_n neither_o have_v nor_o can_v have_v any_o certainty_n of_o their_o religion_n that_o this_o may_v appear_v consider_v 1._o that_o our_o bless_a saviour_n ordain_v his_o apostle_n to_o be_v 1.8.22_o witness_n of_o his_o resurrection_n and_o that_o he_o have_v a_o real_a body_n and_o be_v not_o a_o spirit_n 2._o and_o that_o they_o may_v be_v sufficient_a witness_n he_o appear_v several_a time_n to_o they_o that_o they_o may_v 20.27_o see_v and_o touch_v and_o handle_v 16.14_o he_o blame_v they_o for_o not_o believe_v those_o who_o have_v see_v he_o after_o his_o resurrection_n and_o s._n luke_n tell_v we_o that_o these_o 1.3_o be_v infallible_a proof_n of_o his_o resurrection_n etc._n etc._n and_o so_o think_v s._n 1.1_o john_n too_o 3._o the_o roman_a catholic_n deny_v this_o certainty_n of_o our_o sense_n and_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o bread_n in_o the_o eucharist_n after_o consecration_n be_v not_o bread_n but_o the_o very_a glorified_a body_n of_o our_o bless_a saviour_n though_o all_o our_o sense_n assure_v we_o that_o it_o be_v bread_n still_o and_o tell_v we_o that_o we_o must_v not_o trust_v our_o sense_n but_o believe_v it_o to_o be_v his_o body_n well_o ask_v they_o how_o they_o know_v it_o be_v his_o body_n they_o say_v by_o faith_n but_o how_o come_v they_o by_o that_o faith_n they_o say_v as_o the_o text_n say_v by_o 10.17_o hear_v but_o then_o 1._o sense_n they_o say_v be_v no_o certain_a assurer_n of_o what_o we_o have_v by_o it_o 2._o if_o all_o my_o five_o sense_n may_v be_v deceive_v in_o judge_v the_o wafer_n to_o be_v bread_n certain_o their_o hear_v which_o be_v but_o one_o may_v be_v deceive_v and_o then_o all_o their_o faith_n and_o the_o certainty_n of_o it_o depend_v upon_o their_o hear_v none_o of_o the_o sense_n according_a to_o their_o principle_n be_v to_o be_v trust_v in_o matter_n of_o faith_n because_o they_o may_v deceive_v we_o it_o manifest_o follow_v that_o they_o be_v so_o far_o from_o infallibility_n that_o they_o neither_o have_v nor_o can_v have_v any_o so_o much_o as_o moral_a certainty_n of_o any_o thing_n they_o believe_v but_o if_o not_o too_o much_o enough_o of_o this_o for_o indeed_o their_o pretence_n to_o infallibility_n be_v so_o weak_a that_o they_o deserve_v no_o confutation_n i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o second_o thing_n which_o you_o desire_v i_o to_o do_v that_o be_v to_o give_v some_o reason_n to_o justify_v our_o separation_n from_o rome_n that_o it_o may_v appear_v that_o we_o be_v not_o what_o they_o common_o miscall_v we_o schismatic_n and_o here_o it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v 1._o that_o schism_n to_o pass_v by_o all_o other_o signification_n of_o the_o word_n be_v a_o criminal_a or_o sinful_a violation_n or_o a_o breach_n of_o ecclesiastical_a or_o church-union_n which_o union_n be_v two_o fold_n 1._o internal_a consist_v in_o a_o union_n of_o judgement_n and_o that_o mutual_a love_n and_o charity_n which_o christian_n ought_v to_o have_v mutual_o one_o to_o another_o 2._o external_n consist_v in_o a_o outward_a profession_n of_o the_o same_o faith_n communion_n in_o the_o same_o liturgy_n and_o sacred_a office_n and_o sacrament_n 2._o schism_n as_o now_o we_o speak_v of_o it_o do_v not_o consist_v in_o a_o violation_n or_o breach_n of_o that_o internal_a union_n of_o judgement_n and_o love_n though_o this_o may_v and_o be_v call_v schism_n note_n in_o scripture_n and_o be_v a_o sin_n for_o such_o internal_a
