work_v faith_n in_o we_o rom._n 10_o 17_o by_o which_o we_o believe_v in_o christ_n then_o be_v not_o the_o word_n of_o god_n necessary_a to_o save_v where_o it_o be_v although_o god_n be_v able_a

article_n you_o believe_v that_o christ_n have_v a_o spiritual_a kingdom_n here_o on_o earth_n which_o be_v his_o church_n that_o he_o have_v purchase_v and_o redeem_v but_o this_o i_o grant_v than_o you_o believe_v that_o this_o purchase_v redeem_v church_n of_o christ_n be_v visible_a and_o a_o company_n of_o saint_n call_v and_o separate_v from_o the_o world_n by_o the_o word_n and_o spirit_n of_o god_n to_o the_o visible_a profession_n of_o faith_n and_o the_o gospel_n and_o baptize_v in_o the_o faith_n and_o join_v to_o the_o lord_n and_o to_o each_o other_o by_o a_o mutual_a agreement_n in_o practical_a enjoyment_n of_o the_o ordinance_n command_v by_o christ_n their_o head_n and_o king_n but_o i_o much_o doubt_n of_o these_o thing_n than_o you_o answer_v say_v you_o believe_v that_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n be_v a_o purchase_a people_n call_v to_o their_o visible_a profession_n of_o he_o and_o for_o invisible_a thing_n you_o leave_v to_o god_n till_o he_o make_v they_o

you_o will_v leave_v it_o to_o god_n and_o so_o you_o cast_v away_o this_o article_n also_o and_o i_o think_v if_o i_o shall_v go_v to_o all_o who_o hand_n be_v at_o they_o they_o will_v shuffle_v

he_o say_v himself_o other_o sheep_n i_o have_v which_o be_v not_o of_o this_o fold_n they_o i_o must_v bring_v in_o john_n 10.16_o then_o be_v all_o visible_a and_o call_v and_o already_o make_v

they_o better_o for_o god_n will_v destroy_v these_o family_n that_o call_v not_o on_o his_o name_n jer._n 10.25_o but_o when_o they_o see_v that_o they_o can_v prevail_v with_o the_o godly_a to_o

of_o christ_n for_o a_o prayer_n first_o they_o say_v it_o be_v not_o christ_n doctrine_n that_o we_o shall_v say_v these_o word_n but_o he_o rather_o speak_v they_o to_o frame_v other_o prayer_n by_o for_o he_o say_v pray_v after_o this_o manner_n mat._n 6.9_o i_o answer_v although_o the_o manner_n and_o form_n be_v there_o teach_v by_o christ_n yet_o this_o hinder_v not_o but_o these_o word_n

of_o david_n psalm_n to_o praise_n god_n with_o except_o they_o deny_v all_o scripture_n word_n to_o be_v use_v as_o prayer_n and_o if_o they_o do_v not_o why_o shall_v this_o scripture_n be_v deny_v and_o when_o christ_n say_v after_o this_o manner_n pray_v we_o may_v as_o well_o say_v they_o verbatim_o after_o he_o as_o a_o scholar_n may_v say_v his_o lesson_n verbatim_o after_o his_o master_n 2_o they_o say_v matthew_n and_o luke_n have_v not_o the_o same_o form_n nor_o the_o same_o word_n nor_o the_o same_o number_n of_o they_o therefore_o not_o to_o be_v say_v as_o a_o prayer_n i_o
