single_a argument_n as_o any_o one_o thing_n in_o all_o his_o epistle_n these_o thing_n be_v plain_a and_o undeniable_a and_o be_v so_o be_v a_o full_a justification_n not_o only_o of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n in_o the_o reformation_n which_o she_o think_v fit_a to_o make_v within_o herself_o from_o the_o gross_a error_n and_o corruption_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n but_o likewise_o of_o particular_a person_n who_o have_v at_o any_o time_n for_o the_o same_o reason_n withdraw_v themselves_o from_o her_o communion_n in_o any_o of_o the_o popish_a country_n yea_o though_o that_o single_a person_n shall_v happen_v to_o be_v in_o those_o circumstance_n that_o he_o can_v not_o have_v the_o opportunity_n of_o hold_v communion_n with_o any_o other_o church_n that_o be_v free_a from_o those_o error_n and_o corruption_n and_o which_o do_v not_o impose_v they_o as_o necessary_a condition_n of_o communion_n for_o if_o any_o church_n fall_v off_o to_o idolatry_n every_o good_a christian_n not_o only_o may_v but_o aught_o to_o forsake_v her_o communion_n and_o ought_v rather_o to_o stand_v single_a and_o alone_a in_o the_o profession_n of_o the_o pure_a and_o true_a religion_n than_o to_o continue_v in_o the_o communion_n of_o a_o corrupt_a and_o idolatrous_a church_n i_o know_v that_o some_o man_n be_v so_o fond_a of_o the_o name_n of_o a_o church_n that_o they_o can_v very_o hardly_o believe_v that_o any_o thing_n which_o ●ears_v that_o glorious_a title_n can_v miscarry_v or_o do_v any_o thing_n so_o much_o amiss_o as_o to_o give_v just_a occasion_n to_o any_o of_o her_o member_n to_o break_v off_o from_o h●r_a communion_n what_o the_o church_n err_v that_o be_v such_o a_o absurdity_n as_o be_v by_o many_o thought_n sufficient_a to_o put_v any_o objection_n out_o of_o countenance_n that_o the_o whole_a church_n that_o be_v that_o all_o the_o christian_n in_o the_o world_n shall_v at_o any_o time_n fall_v off_o to_o idolatry_n and_o into_o error_n and_o practice_n direct_o contrary_a to_o the_o christian_a doctrine_n reveal_v in_o the_o h._n scripture_n be_v on_o all_o hand_n i_o think_v deny_v but_o that_o any_o particular_a church_n may_v fall_v into_o such_o error_n and_o practice_n be_v i_o think_v as_o universal_o grant_v only_o in_o this_o case_n they_o demand_v to_o have_v the_o roman_n catholic_n church_n except_v and_o why_o i_o pray_v because_o though_o the_o roman_a church_n be_v a_o particular_a church_n it_o be_v also_o the_o universal_a church_n if_o this_o can_v be_v and_o good_a sense_n can_v be_v make_v of_o a_o particular-universal_a church_n than_o the_o roman_a church_n may_v demand_v this_o high_a privilege_n of_o be_v exempt_v from_o the_o fate_n of_o all_o other_o church_n but_o if_o the_o roman-catholick_n that_o be_v a_o particular-universal_a church_n be_v a_o gross_a and_o palpable_a contradiction_n than_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v no_o more_o pretence_n to_o this_o privilege_n than_o any_o other_o particular_a church_n whatsoever_o and_o which_o be_v yet_o more_o some_o man_n talk_v of_o these_o matter_n at_o that_o rate_n as_o if_o a_o man_n who_o think_v himself_o oblige_v to_o quit_v the_o communion_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n shall_v happen_v to_o be_v in_o those_o circumstance_n that_o he_o have_v no_o opportunity_n of_o join_v himself_o to_o any_o other_o communion_n he_o ought_v in_o that_o case_n to_o give_v over_o all_o thought_n of_o religion_n and_o not_o be_v so_o conceit_v and_o presumptuous_a as_o to_o think_v of_o go_v to_o heaven_n alone_o by_o himself_o it_o be_v without_o doubt_v a_o very_a great_a sin_n to_o despise_v the_o communion_n of_o the_o church_n or_o to_o break_v off_o from_o it_o so_o long_o as_o we_o can_v continue_v in_o it_o without_o sin_n but_o if_o thing_n shall_v once_o come_v to_o that_o pass_n that_o we_o must_v either_o disobey_v god_n for_o company_n or_o stand_v alone_o in_o our_o obedience_n to_o he_o we_o ought_v most_o certain_o to_o obey_v god_n whatever_o come_v of_o it_o and_o to_o profess_v his_o truth_n whether_o any_o body_n else_o will_v join_v with_o we_o in_o that_o profession_n or_o not_o and_o they_o who_o speak_v otherwise_o condemn_v the_o whole_a reformation_n and_o do_v in_o effect_n say_v that_o martin_n luther_n have_v do_v a_o very_a ill_a thing_n in_o break_v off_o from_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n if_o no_o body_n else_o will_v have_v join_v with_o he_o in_o that_o honest_a design_n and_o yet_o if_o it_o have_v be_v so_o i_o hope_v god_n will_v have_v give_v he_o the_o grace_n and_o courage_n to_o have_v stand_v alone_o in_o so_o good_a and_o glorious_a a_o cause_n and_o to_o have_v lay_v down_o his_o life_n for_o it_o and_o for_o any_o man_n to_o be_v of_o another_o opinion_n be_v just_a as_o if_o a_o man_n upon_o great_a deliberation_n shall_v choose_v rather_o to_o be_v drown_v than_o to_o be_v save_v either_o by_o a_o plank_n or_o a_o small_a boat_n or_o to_o be_v carry_v into_o the_o harbour_n any_o other_o way_n than_o in_o a_o great_a ship_n of_o so_o many_o hundred_o tun_n in_o short_a a_o good_a man_n must_v resolve_v to_o obey_v god_n and_o to_o profess_v his_o truth_n though_o all_o the_o world_n shall_v happen_v to_o do_v otherwise_o christ_n have_v promise_v to_o preserve_v his_o church_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n that_o be_v he_o have_v engage_v his_o word_n that_o he_o will_v take_v care_n that_o there_o shall_v always_o be_v in_o some_o part_n of_o the_o world_n or_o other_o some_o person_n that_o shall_v make_v a_o sincere_a profession_n of_o his_o true_a religion_n but_o he_o have_v no_o where_o promise_v to_o preserve_v any_o one_o part_n of_o his_o church_n from_o such_o error_n and_o corruption_n as_o may_v oblige_v all_o good_a man_n to_o quit_v the_o communion_n of_o that_o part_n yea_o tho_o when_o they_o have_v do_v so_o they_o may_v not_o know_v whither_o to_o resort_v for_o actual_a communion_n with_o any_o other_o sound_a part_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n as_o it_o happen_v to_o some_o particular_a person_n during_o the_o reign_n and_o rage_n of_o popery_n in_o these_o western_a part_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n the_o result_n from_o all_o this_o discourse_n be_v to_o confirm_v and_o establish_v we_o all_o in_o this_o hour_n of_o temptation_n and_o of_o the_o power_n of_o darkness_n in_o the_o wellgrounded_n belief_n of_o the_o necessity_n and_o justice_n of_o our_o reformation_n from_o the_o error_n and_o corruption_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n and_o to_o engage_v we_o to_o hold_v fast_o the_o profession_n of_o our_o faith_n without_o waver_v and_o not_o only_o to_o profess_v and_o promise_v as_o peter_n do_v to_o our_o lord_n though_o all_o man_n forsake_v thou_o yet_o will_v not_o i_o but_o if_o there_o shall_v be_v occasion_n to_o perform_v and_o make_v good_a this_o promise_n with_o the_o hazard_n of_o all_o that_o be_v dear_a to_o we_o and_o even_o of_o life_n itself_o and_o whatever_o trial_n god_n may_v permit_v any_o of_o we_o to_o fall_v into_o to_o take_v up_o the_o pious_a resolution_n of_o joshua_n here_o in_o the_o text_n that_o whatever_o other_o do_v we_o will_v serve_v the_o lord_n i_o will_v conclude_v my_o discourse_n upon_o this_o first_o particular_a in_o the_o text_n with_o the_o exhortation_n of_o st._n paul_n to_o the_o philippian_n chap._n 1._o v._n 27._o only_o let_v your_o conversation_n be_v as_o it_o become_v the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n stand_v fast_o in_o one_o spirit_n be_v of_o one_o mind_n strive_v together_o for_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o nothing_o terrify_v by_o your_o adversary_n which_o to_o they_o be_v a_o evident_a token_n of_o perdition_n but_o to_o you_o of_o salvation_n and_o that_o of_o god_n and_o thus_o much_o may_v suffice_v to_o have_v speak_v to_o the_o first_o thing_n in_o the_o text_n namely_o the_o pious_a resolution_n of_o joshua_n that_o if_o there_o be_v occasion_n and_o thing_n be_v bring_v to_o that_o extremity_n he_o will_v stand_v alone_o in_o the_o profession_n and_o practice_n of_o god_n true_a religion_n choose_v you_o this_o day_n who_o you_o will_v serve_v but_o as_o for_o i_o i_o will_v serve_v the_o lord_n i_o shall_v now_o have_v proceed_v to_o the_o second_o thing_n and_o which_o indeed_o i_o chief_o intend_v to_o speak_v to_o from_o this_o text_n namely_o the_o pious_a c●re_n of_o a_o good_a father_n and_o m●ster_n of_o a_o family_n to_o train_v up_o those_o under_o his_o charge_n in_o the_o religion_n and_o worship_n of_o the_o true_a god_n as_o for_o i_o and_o my_o house_n we_o will_v serve_v the_o lord_n but_o this_o i_o shall_v not_o now_o enter_v upon_o but_o defer_v it_o to_o some_o other_o opportunity_n consider_v what_o you_o have_v hear_v and_o the_o lord_n give_v
