whosoeuer entred into the Arke were saued from the deluge This is so expresly and determinately set downe in the Scripture that no Atheist can question the meaning or extent of the propositions wherein it is set downe In the selfe same day saith the Scripture Gen. 7. verse 11. entred Noah and Sem and Ham and Iapheth the sonnes of Noah and Noahs wife and the three wiues of his sonnes with them into the Arke And in the 8. chap. and the 18. verse Noah went forth and his sonnes and his wife and his sonnes wiues with him So that eight soules came into the Arke and eight went forth 3 So then for conclusion Noahs Arke was a type of that Church into which whosoeuer enters shall be saued but such a Church is not the visible Romish Church in what sense soeuer it be taken First it is not true of the vniuersall Church consisting of the Layetie and Cleargie nor of the Church representatiue to wit their generall or prouinciall Councels For none will affirme that all and euery one of their Bishops or such as giue suffrage in their Councels shall haue the suffrage of Christ or their names written in the booke of life They will not astipulate that whosoeuer is graced with a red hat in Rome shall bee sure to weare a Saints or Martyrs crowne in heauen Euen the Pope himselfe whom they make their vertuall Church may bee a notorious vicious man and dye the death of the wicked and therefore neither liuing was the head nor at his death any member of that Church which was prefigured by Noahs Arke because hee can neither saue himself nor such as haue committed their soules to bee wafted ouer to the new Ierusalem by this presumed Pilot of Peters pretended ship So that either Peters ship was not such a type of Christs Church as Noahs Arke was or else the Pope is no Pilot of it 4 Doe wee speake this as men doth not the Scripture say the same doe wee make these collections as sectaries or hath not S. Peter made them vnto our hands For speaking of the Arke wherein few that is eight soules were saued by water he saith The like figure whereunto euen baptisme doth also now saue vs not the putting away of the filth of the flesh but the answer of a good conscience towards God by the resurrection of Iesus Christ 1 Pet. 3. cap. verse 20 21. His meaning is that as Noahs Arke was the type of that Church extra quam nulla salus intra quam salus certissima out of which there is no saluation in which saluation abounds so the waters by which the Arke was consecrated or hallowed to be the receptacle of safetie to mankinde was a type or figure of that sacred Lauer by which the Church is consecrated or hallowed to bee as the wombe or breast of saluation to the faithfull Baptisme it selfe answereth in proportion to the doore or window of Noahs Arke But of what baptisme was the water by which such as entred into the Arke were saued a type A type of externall Baptisme No externall Baptisme and the waters of Noah were types of the same ranke both were types or shadowes of that internall Baptisme which is wrought by the Holy Ghost by which we are incorporated into the body of Christ and become more vndoubtedly safe from the euerlasting fire then such as entred into Noahs Arke were from the deluge of water 5 The Apostles argument Heb. 9. holds as truely of Christs Church as of his Sacrifice If the Arke which Noah built did saue all such from the deluge as entred into it how much more shall that holy and Catholike Church which Christ hath built and sanctified by his most precious blood giue life eternall to all such as in this world become liue-members of it Such members they are made not by externall Baptisme or by becomming members of the visible Church but by internall grace or sanctification But neuer did the Iew doat halfe so much on externall circumcision and legall sacrifices or the Aaronicall Priesthood as the moderne Romanist doth on the Sacraments of the Gospell and on his imaginarie Priesthood after the order of Melchisedeck or other like notes or sensible cognizances of the visible Church Now it were more then wonder if the excesse of this his blinde zeale vnto these externals did not draw him to much greater more direct diametrall opposition vnto Christ vnto an higher pitch of inueterate malice against the members of his Holy Catholike Church or Kingdome spirituall then the high Priest or Elders exercised against his person whilest he was present in the flesh Thus much for this time of the allegorie or argument of proportion drawne from Noahs Arke As for the generall Maxime extra Ecclesiam non est salus There is no saluation out of the Church although it be absolutely and punctually true onely of that one Holy Catholike Church which was exactly typified by Noahs Arke yet the same Maxime is literally applyable vnto and in certaine cases vndoubtedly true of some visible Church or other All true visible Churches haue some right or interest in it CHAP. XIII How farre and in what cases that Maxime vsed by the Fathers Extra Ecclesiam non est salus Out of the Church there is no saluation is true of the visible Church or Churches visible 1 THe persons that are extra Ecclesiam are of two sorts First such as neuer were members of any visible Church as all Infidels moderne Iewes and Mahumetans c. Secondly such as haue beene members of some visible Church but haue beene either cut off from it by Ecclesiasticall censure or haue separated themselues from the visible Church or Churches wherein they liued In respect of the first sort that is of all such as neuer were members of any visible Church the Maxime extra Ecclesiam non est salus there is no saluation out of the Church is not vniuersally true yea taken vniuersally it is vniuersally false in respect of time that is it could neuer be verified of all and euery one that was extra Ecclesiam visibilem out of the visible Church in any age There was a time wherin Gods visible Church was confined to one people or nation to the ofspring of Abraham Now it were an heresie to say that no sonnes of men besides the sonnes of Abraham or such as did associate themselues vnto the visible Church then resident onely in Abrahams family were saued during the time of the Law or before the Law was giuen righteous Iob was no sonne of Iacob yet the sonne of God And it were vncharitablenesse though no heresie to say that Iethro Rechah or Ionadab were all sonnes of perdition or were sonnes as our Sauiour said of the Iewes of their father the Deuill because they were not the sonnes of Abraham or had not the visible Church of Israel for their mother In respect of this present time to say Wee know no meanes by which any
