as_o do_v acknowledge_v he_o to_o be_v their_o head_n and_o do_v believe_v the_o doctrine_n establish_v in_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n we_o take_v it_o to_o be_v no_o church_n of_o god_n because_o babylon_n which_o i_o have_v prove_v to_o be_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v here_o oppose_v to_o the_o church_n or_o people_n of_o god_n and_o because_o we_o be_v command_v to_o come_v out_o of_o it_o whereas_o we_o may_v not_o whole_o forsake_v any_o people_n till_o they_o forsake_v christ._n some_o will_v happy_o say_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v the_o scripture_n and_o the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n i_o answer_v first_o of_o all_o they_o have_v indeed_o the_o book_n of_o holy_a scripture_n among_o they_o but_o by_o the_o rest_n of_o their_o doctrine_n they_o overthrow_v the_o true_a sense_n thereof_o in_o the_o foundation_n as_o i_o have_v prove_v before_o and_o though_o they_o have_v the_o outward_a form_n of_o baptism_n yet_o they_o overturn_v the_o inward_a baptism_n which_o be_v the_o substance_n of_o all_o stand_v in_o the_o justification_n and_o sanctification_n of_o a_o sinner_n again_o i_o answer_v that_o they_o have_v the_o word_n and_o baptism_n not_o for_o themselves_o but_o for_o the_o true_a church_n of_o god_n among_o they_o like_v as_o the_o lantern_n hold_v the_o candle_n not_o for_o itself_o but_o for_o other_o second_o it_o may_v be_v and_o be_v allege_v that_o if_o the_o pope_n be_v antichrist_n he_o than_o sit_v in_o the_o temple_n that_o be_v the_o church_n of_o god_n and_o by_o this_o mean_v the_o roman_a church_n shall_v be_v the_o true_a church_n ans._n he_o sit_v in_o the_o temple_n of_o god_n but_o mark_v further_o how_o as_o god_n that_o 4._o be_v not_o as_o a_o member_n but_o as_o a_o manifest_a usurper_n like_v as_o the_o thief_n sit_v in_o the_o true_a man_n house_n for_o the_o popish_a church_n and_o god_n church_n be_v mingle_v like_o chaff_n and_o corn_n in_o one_o heap_n and_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n and_o the_o church_n of_o god_n in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n as_o we_o say_v the_o wheat_n be_v among_o the_o chaff_n and_o the_o chaff_n in_o the_o wheat_n again_o he_o be_v say_v to_o sit_v in_o the_o temple_n of_o god_n because_o the_o roman_a church_n though_o false_o take_v unto_o itself_o the_o title_n of_o the_o true_a catholic_a church_n some_o go_v about_o to_o delay_v and_o qualify_v the_o matter_n by_o compare_v this_o church_n to_o a_o man_n lie_v sick_a full_a of_o sore_n have_v also_o his_o throat_n cut_v yet_o so_o as_o body_n and_o soul_n be_v join_v together_o and_o life_n be_v remain_v still_o but_o all_o thing_n well_o consider_v it_o be_v rather_o like_o a_o dead_a carcase_n and_o be_v void_a of_o all_o spiritual_a life_n as_o the_o popish_a error_n in_o the_o foundation_n do_v manifest_a indeed_o a_o know_a harlot_n may_v afterward_o remain_v a_o wife_n and_o be_v so_o term_v yet_o after_o the_o bill_n of_o divorcement_n be_v give_v she_o cease_v to_o be_v a_o wife_n though_o she_o can_v show_v her_o marriage_n ring_n now_o the_o church_n have_v receive_v the_o bill_n of_o her_o divorcement_n in_o the_o write_a word_n namely_o 2._o thess._n 2._o and_o rev._n 13._o 11_o 12_o etc._n etc._n furthermore_o in_o this_o commandment_n we_o may_v see_v a_o lively_a portraiture_n of_o the_o state_n of_o all_o mankind_n here_o we_o see_v two_o sort_n of_o man_n some_o be_v pertain_v to_o babylon_n a_o people_n run_v on_o to_o their_o destruction_n some_o again_o be_v a_o people_n of_o god_n sever_v from_o babylon_n and_o reserve_v to_o life_n everlasting_a if_o any_o ask_v the_o cause_n of_o this_o distinction_n i_o answer_v it_o be_v the_o very_a will_n of_o god_n vouchsafe_v mercy_n to_o some_o and_o forsake_v other_o by_o withdraw_v his_o mercy_n from_o they_o for_o the_o better_a declaration_n of_o his_o justice_n thus_o say_v the_o lord_n rom._n 11._o 4._o i_o have_v reserve_v seven_o thousand_o that_o never_o bow_v the_o knee_n to_o baal_n and_o the_o prophet_n isai_n say_v unless_o the_o lord_n have_v reserve_v arennant_n we_o have_v be_v as_o sodom_n and_o gomorrha_n by_o this_o distinction_n we_o be_v teach_v above_o all_o thing_n to_o seek_v to_o be_v of_o the_o number_n of_o god_n people_n and_o to_o labour_v for_o assurance_n of_o this_o in_o our_o own_o

here_o i_o note_v the_o special_a care_n that_o god_n have_v over_o his_o own_o child_n he_o first_o give_v they_o warning_n to_o depart_v before_o he_o begin_v to_o execute_v his_o judgement_n upon_o

be_v when_o man_n acknowledge_v god_n the_o creator_n and_o governor_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o yet_o deny_v the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n thus_o the_o ephesian_n before_o they_o

be_v when_o man_n do_v right_o acknowledge_v the_o unity_n of_o the_o god_n head_n in_o the_o trinity_n of_o person_n yet_o so_o as_o by_o other_o necessary_a consequent_n partly_o of_o their_o

of_o rome_n be_v a_o kind_n of_o atheism_n for_o whereas_o it_o make_v the_o merit_n of_o the_o work_n of_o man_n to_o concur_v with_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n it_o overthrow_v the_o grace_n of_o
