A04211	Anno Domini 1616. A confession and protestation of the faith of certaine Christians in England holding it necessary to observe, & keepe all Christes true substantiall ordinances for his church visible and politicall (that is, indued with power of outward spirituall government) under the gospel; though the same doe differ from the common order of the land. Published for the clearing of the said Christian from the slaunder of schisme, and noveltie, and also of separation, & undutifullness to the magistrate, which their rash adversaries doe falsely cast upon them. Also, an humble petition to the K. Majestie for toleration therein.	Jacob, Henry, 1563-1624.	1616 (1616)	STC 14330; ESTC S120216	22,778	71

religious_a we_o believe_v as_o be_v say_v those_o office_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v most_o absolute_a and_o perfect_a indeed_o so_o perfect_a in_o every_o such_o particular_a now_o so_o alsufficient_a and_o so_o necessary_a to_o be_v submit_v unto_o of_o all_o christian_n as_o the_o say_a office_n of_o christ_n be_v under_o the_o law_n we_o believe_v that_o christ_n in_o these_o thing_n no_o less_o than_o in_o matter_n inward_a concern_v religion_n be_v the_o foundation_n to_o the_o whole_a building_n even_o of_o his_o visible_a and_o political_a church_n now_o under_o the_o gospel_n as_o well_o

of_o he_o that_o fill_v all_o in_o all_o thing_n and_o so_o we_o believe_v christ_n our_o mediator_n in_o the_o kind_n and_o nature_n of_o his_o office_n to_o be_v not_o change_v much_o less_o
