the_o name_n and_o i_o have_v hear_v diverse_a say_v they_o go_v beyond_o browne_n but_o whosoever_o shall_v read_v his_o book_n and_o peruse_v all_o their_o writing_n shall_v well_o see_v that_o he_o deserve_v to_o have_v the_o honour_n if_o any_o be_v and_o to_o be_v call_v the_o captain_n and_o master_n of_o they_o all_o they_o have_v all_o their_o furniture_n from_o he_o they_o do_v but_o open_v his_o pack_n and_o display_v his_o ware_n they_o have_v not_o a_o sharp_a arrow_n which_o be_v not_o draw_v out_o of_o his_o quiver_n then_o next_o touch_v the_o question_n between_o they_o and_o i_o let_v the_o reader_n consider_v it_o be_v not_o about_o the_o controversy_n in_o our_o church_n as_o whether_o there_o be_v imperfection_n corruption_n and_o fault_n in_o our_o worship_n ministry_n and_o church_n government_n nor_o how_o many_o great_a or_o small_a but_o whether_o there_o be_v such_o heinous_a enormity_n as_o destroy_v the_o very_a life_n and_o be_v of_o a_o true_a church_n and_o make_v a_o utter_a divorce_n from_o christ_n i_o will_v lay_v it_o open_v more_o plain_a by_o a_o comparison_n which_o the_o scripture_n use_v the_o church_n be_v like_o a_o man_n in_o who_o there_o be_v many_o part_n and_o member_n rom._n 12._o if_o all_o the_o part_n or_o member_n of_o the_o body_n have_v their_o just_a proportion_n be_v whole_a and_o sound_a and_o set_v in_o their_o due_a order_n the_o soul_n and_o life_n depart_v he_o be_v no_o long_o a_o man_n to_o speak_v proper_o but_o the_o dead_a carcase_n of_o a_o man_n but_o now_o if_o he_o be_v sick_a and_o

long_o as_o the_o soul_n and_o life_n remain_v in_o he_o all_o man_n do_v know_v this_o to_o be_v true_a yea_o even_o the_o simple_a make_v no_o doubt_n or_o controversy_n about_o it_o let_v we_o see_v therefore_o whether_o it_o be_v a_o fit_n comparison_n with_o the_o church_n and_o whether_o it_o be_v so_o in_o it_o of_o necessity_n and_o as_o manifest_v by_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n as_o this_o other_o be_v unto_o our_o bodily_a sense_n to_o find_v this_o we_o must_v first_o consider_v whether_o there_o be_v no_o true_a church_n of_o god_n but_o that_o which_o be_v perfect_a in_o this_o world_n we_o know_v that_o there_o be_v none_o but_o heretic_n yea_o rank_n abominable_a heretic_n which_o obstinate_o deny_v this_o clear_a doctrine_n of_o the_o holy_a

in_o many_o thing_n we_o sin_v all_o jam._n 3._o v._n 2._o and_o who_o understand_v his_o error_n or_o who_o can_v tell_v how_o oft_o he_o offend_v psal_n 19_o the_o perfect_a member_n of_o the_o church_n do_v err_v do_v sin_n be_v maim_v be_v weak_a be_v spot_v and_o deform_v many_o way_n now_o whereas_o all_o the_o member_n be_v in_o this_o case_n needs_o must_v the_o whole_a body_n which_o be_v compose_v of_o they_o be_v in_o the_o same_o estate_n then_o we_o may_v not_o look_v for_o a_o church_n in_o this_o world_n which_o be_v not_o spot_v deform_a maim_a and_o weak_a in_o some_o

know_v there_o be_v no_o sin_n no_o error_n no_o corruption_n nor_o no_o abuse_n but_o that_o if_o all_o the_o learnede_a in_o the_o world_n will_v take_v upon_o they_o to_o clear_v and_o to_o defend_v the_o same_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v able_a then_o they_o be_v desirous_a of_o victory_n of_o triumph_n and_o glory_n over_o all_o both_o wise_a and_o learned_a here_o therefore_o they_o

none_o shall_v ever_o be_v able_a to_o drive_v they_o out_o of_o their_o hold_n and_o indeed_o he_o that_o condemn_v a_o error_n and_o go_v no_o further_o can_v never_o be_v vanquish_v but_o herein_o they_o be_v deceive_v that_o out_o of_o this_o fort_n they_o will_v batter_v down_o the_o church_n for_o their_o ordinance_n be_v over_o weak_a for_o that_o they_o stop_v in_o powder_n in_o great_a

some_o that_o touch_v the_o very_a foundation_n of_o faith_n and_o christian_a religion_n they_o be_v utter_a violater_n of_o ecclesiastical_a discipline_n they_o abridge_v the_o power_n of_o the_o

and_o great_a abuse_n in_o it_o the_o stableness_n of_o god_n covenant_n toward_o the_o church_n be_v found_v only_o upon_o his_o free_a grace_n it_o be_v detestable_a impiety_n to_o hang_v it_o upon_o the_o work_n of_o man_n as_o the_o brownist_n do_v when_o they_o affirm_v that_o where_o there_o be_v any_o open_a sin_n suffer_v in_o a_o assembly_n the_o covenant_n be_v disannul_v with_o they_o all_o and_o if_o man_n consider_v well_o they_o shall_v find_v that_o the_o whole_a brownisme_n rest_v upon_o the_o heresy_n of_o perfection_n and_o anabaptisticall_a freedom_n for_o from_o hence_o that_o it_o

do_v offend_v in_o not_o execute_v the_o discipline_n upon_o ungodly_a man_n to_o bring_v they_o to_o repentance_n but_o in_o receive_v their_o child_n to_o be_v baptize_v they_o do_v not_o offend_v so_o they_o see_v they_o teach_v in_o the_o faith_n and_o to_o live_v a_o godly_a life_n as_o our_o church_n have_v establish_v yea_o in_o refuse_v they_o the_o infant_n shall_v receive_v great_a injury_n but_o to_o make_v this_o matter_n yet_o more_o clear_a the_o question_n be_v to_o be_v answer_v whether_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v the_o church_n of_o christ_n for_o the_o brownist_n do_v hold_v that_o our_o ancestor_n be_v not_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o time_n of_o popery_n and_o that_o we_o now_o be_v confuse_v multitude_n not_o right_o enter_v into_o covenant_n with_o god_n to_o become_v a_o church_n see_v we_o be_v not_o of_o god_n true_a church_n before_o neither_o orderly_o enter_v into_o covenant_n indeed_o if_o we_o be_v not_o within_o the_o covenant_n before_o from_o our_o ancestor_n nor_o enter_v orderly_o to_o become_v a_o church_n the_o matter_n will_v seem_v strong_a against_o us._n let_v it_o therefore_o be_v examine_v i_o know_v this_o be_v the_o usual_a speech_n of_o the_o learnede_a divines_n the_o church_n of_o god_n be_v in_o the_o papacy_n but_o the_o papacy_n be_v not_o the_o church_n and_o it_o may_v be_v the_o sense_n will_v differ_v little_a or_o nothing_o but_o i_o take_v it_o a_o fit_a speech_n to_o say_v the_o papacy_n be_v in_o the_o church_n then_o to_o say_v the_o church_n be_v in_o the_o papacy_n for_o antichrist_n do_v sit_v in_o the_o temple_n of_o god_n his_o law_n his_o worship_n and_o all_o his_o abomination_n be_v bring_v into_o the_o church_n all_o the_o man_n which_o receive_v his_o mark_n and_o worship_v he_o be_v in_o the_o church_n yea_o even_o the_o whole_a apostasy_n be_v in_o the_o church_n the_o church_n be_v before_o and_o that_o come_v after_o and_o enter_v into_o or_o arise_v in_o it_o then_o to_o the_o question_n if_o by_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n we_o understand_v the_o pope_n his_o law_n his_o worship_n which_o have_v be_v devise_v by_o himself_o his_o adherent_n and_o all_o that_o worship_v he_o or_o receive_v his_o mark_n i_o answer_v that_o this_o be_v that_o which_o may_v proper_o be_v call_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n which_o be_v the_o papacy_n the_o apostasy_n and_o seduce_v to_o damnation_n and_o not_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n otherwise_o then_o thus_o that_o the_o pope_n the_o cardinal_n and_o all_o that_o worship_v the_o beast_n be_v false_a christian_n by_o profession_n breed_v in_o the_o church_n and_o continue_v in_o it_o their_o seed_n not_o exclude_v from_o the_o covenant_n but_o if_o by_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n we_o understand_v all_o those_o company_n of_o people_n over_o who_o the_o tyranny_n of_o the_o pope_n have_v heretofore_o extend_v itself_o or_o do_v at_o this_o day_n or_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v give_v by_o christ_n which_o remain_v in_o the_o same_o i_o say_v this_o be_v not_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n but_o the_o church_n of_o god_n first_o if_o we_o respect_v the_o holy_a doctrine_n of_o god_n in_o all_o those_o point_n which_o be_v and_o be_v keep_v sound_a among_o they_o and_o the_o holy_a sacrament_n of_o baptism_n then_o second_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o kingdom_n and_o people_n themselves_o all_o do_v not_o fall_v from_o christ_n but_o many_o hold_v the_o foundation_n the_o most_o of_o they_o lie_v scatter_v and_o hide_v in_o the_o desolation_n and_o ruin_n three_o if_o we_o regard_v that_o the_o infant_n not_o only_o of_o these_o faithful_a but_o even_o of_o the_o wicked_a apostate_n which_o worship_v the_o beast_n be_v still_o within_o the_o covenant_n as_o the_o holy_a seed_n we_o shall_v see_v that_o the_o papacy_n be_v and_o be_v in_o the_o church_n which_o be_v the_o temple_n of_o god_n and_o not_o the_o synagog_n of_o rome_n the_o church_n of_o rome_n then_o be_v not_o the_o true_a church_n of_o god_n but_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v the_o apostasy_n in_o the_o church_n let_v we_o come_v then_o more_o particular_o the_o church_n of_o england_n in_o the_o time_n of_o popery_n be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o universal_a church_n and_o have_v not_o the_o be_v of_o a_o church_n of_o christ_n from_o rome_n nor_o take_v not_o her_o beginning_n of_o be_v a_o church_n by_o separate_n herself_o from_o that_o romish_a synagog_n but_o have_v her_o spirit_n reviue_v and_o her_o eye_n open_v by_o the_o light_n of_o the_o heavenly_a word_n do_v cast_v forth_o that_o tyranny_n of_o antichrist_n with_o his_o abominable_a idolatry_n heresy_n and_o false_a worship_n and_o seek_v to_o bring_v all_o her_o child_n unto_o the_o right_a faith_n and_o true_a service_n of_o god_n and_o so_o be_v a_o pure_a and_o more_o faithful_a church_n then_o before_o idolatry_n be_v open_o set_v up_o in_o the_o church_n of_o israel_n at_o sundry_a time_n it_o do_v not_o as_o i_o have_v show_v disannul_v the_o covenant_n of_o god_n with_o they_o nor_o debar_v their_o child_n from_o the_o holy_a sign_n of_o circumcision_n but_o all_o the_o jew_n be_v call_v the_o child_n of_o the_o covenant_n then_o let_v the_o brownist_n show_v some_o reason_n why_o it_o shall_v be_v otherwise_o in_o this_o case_n with_o our_o church_n than_o it_o be_v with_o the_o church_n of_o israel_n thus_o much_o for_o the_o one_o part_n of_o your_o assumption_n wherein_o you_o blame_v the_o church_n of_o england_n for_o receive_v in_o all_o by_o baptism_n now_o touch_v the_o other_o part_n of_o it_o in_o which_o you_o affirm_v that_o there_o be_v no_o power_n to_o cast_v forth_o any_o by_o excommunication_n you_o speak_v very_o false_o for_o the_o church_n of_o england_n have_v some_o power_n to_o excommunicate_v but_o you_o reason_n thus_o the_o person_n and_o all_o his_o parish_n have_v not_o the_o power_n to_o excommunicate_v any_o one_o offendor_n therefore_o the_o church_n of_o england_n have_v not_o pour_v to_o excommunicate_v be_v it_o possible_a if_o a_o man_n will_v study_v to_o reason_n absurdlie_o that_o he_o shall_v excel_v you_o will_v you_o argue_v thus_o every_o several_a part_n by_o itself_o have_v not_o power_n to_o excommunicate_v therefore_o the_o whole_a together_o have_v not_o the_o power_n it_o be_v not_o meet_v indeed_o that_o the_o parson_n and_o his_o parish_n shall_v have_v the_o power_n to_o excommunicate_v unless_o it_o be_v such_o a_o parish_n as_o have_v the_o consistory_n of_o pastor_n teacher_n and_o governor_n it_o seem_v you_o have_v great_a skill_n in_o the_o discipline_n of_o christ_n the_o several_a flock_n about_o geneva_n without_o the_o city_n have_v every_o one_o a_o pastor_n and_o two_o elder_n but_o yet_o they_o have_v not_o the_o power_n to_o excommunicate_v but_o that_o be_v refer_v to_o the_o consisiorie_n which_o be_v within_o the_o city_n master_n beza_n epist_n 20._o will_v you_o

which_o have_v power_n to_o excommunicate_v but_o you_o will_v say_v that_o the_o excommunication_n of_o the_o commissary_n be_v no_o excommunication_n and_o therefore_o our_o parish_n be_v no_o member_n of_o a_o church_n which_o have_v power_n to_o excommunicate_v the_o like_v you_o will_v say_v of_o the_o excommunication_n by_o the_o bishop_n himself_o and_o by_o the_o archdeacon_n i_o answer_v that_o if_o it_o shall_v be_v grant_v you_o that_o their_o excommunication_n do_v not_o bind_v in_o heaven_n yet_o it_o be_v of_o force_n to_o remove_v and_o do_v remove_v from_o the_o
