Also Dr. Laiton, Mr. Dayrel, and Mr. Bradshaw, are here answered, wherein they have written against us. With a table in the later end, of the principal occurrents in this treatise.

strict_a professor_n do_v hold_v the_o church_n of_o england_n as_o it_o be_v national_n provincial_n and_o diocessan_n false_a howbeit_o they_o think_v some_o particular_a congregation_n in_o the_o land_n to_o be_v true_a 5._o with_o such_o weapon_n as_o these_o do_v the_o papist_n fight_v and_o where_o they_o can_v bring_v one_o the_o other_o ten_o to_o witness_v for_o they_o and_o their_o romish_a superstition_n i_o mean_v eccles_n antiquity_n universality_n and_o such_o like_a popular_a reason_n whereby_o they_o seek_v to_o uphold_v their_o curse_a kingdom_n last_o it_o be_v untrue_o affirm_v that_o all_o the_o church_n of_o god_n in_o the_o world_n do_v acknowledge_v the_o people_n of_o england_n to_o be_v a_o true_a church_n for_o there_o be_v many_o which_o have_v both_o profess_v and_o prove_v the_o contrary_a now_o for_o his_o last_o argument_n i_o deny_v also_o both_o part_n of_o it_o and_o affirm_v that_o neither_o the_o mother_n nor_o daughter_n be_v true_a church_n the_o reason_n which_o he_o lay_v down_o be_v as_o the_o rest_n silly_a and_o most_o impertinent_a to_o prove_v the_o thing_n for_o which_o he_o bring_v it_o the_o sum_n and_o effect_n of_o that_o which_o he_o have_v write_v in_o five_o or_o six_o page_n be_v this_o that_o their_o worship_n and_o religion_n be_v true_a because_o in_o q._n mary_n day_n divers_a martyr_n profess_v the_o same_o and_o die_v in_o it_o answ_n 1._o here_o the_o thing_n in_o question_n be_v bring_v for_o confirmation_n the_o martyr_n allow_v of_o their_o worship_n be_v it_o so_o what_o then_o shall_v he_o not_o yet_o have_v prove_v the_o same_o to_o be_v lawful_a yes_o doubtless_o if_o he_o will_v have_v write_v either_o according_a to_o rule_v reason_n or_o religion_n 2._o if_o a_o papist_n shall_v suffer_v death_n under_o heathen_a or_o turk_n because_o he_o will_v not_o deny_v christ_n ●esus_fw-la we_o think_v he_o may_v in_o some_o respect_n be_v judge_v a_o martyr_n and_o yet_o the_o romish_a worship_n which_o he_o profess_v remain_v still_o false_a and_o idolatrous_a 3._o i_o desire_v the_o reader_n to_o mark_v how_o absurd_o he_o speak_v the_o thing_n which_o he_o undertake_v to_o prove_v be_v that_o their_o assembly_n be_v true_a for_o this_o he_o allege_v the_o martyr_n now_o to_o what_o purpose_n i_o can_v not_o tell_v in_o the_o world_n unless_o he_o mean_v that_o there_o be_v such_o virtue_n and_o efficacy_n in_o their_o suffering_n as_o the_o whole_a nation_n thereby_o be_v sanctify_v and_o make_v church_n last_o this_o reason_n be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o with_o that_o which_o he_o bring_v to_o confirm_v the_o second_o syllogism_n save_v that_o for_o the_o more_o authority_n of_o it_o he_o add_v the_o name_n of_o the_o martyr_n the_o insufficiency_n whereof_o i_o have_v there_o show_v and_o thither_o do_v refer_v the_o reader_n in_o the_o conclusion_n he_o say_v answer_v i_o this_o one_o argument_n and_o so_o i_o end_v if_o mr._n hooper_n mr._n bradford_n with_o other_o know_v the_o corruption_n then_o in_o the_o worship_n and_o ministry_n be_v the_o same_o also_o with_o we_o now_o notwithstanding_o this_o knowledge_n and_o not_o separate_v be_v save_v then_o man_n at_o this_o day_n notwithstanding_o their_o knowledge_n of_o the_o corruption_n and_o not_o separate_v because_o of_o they_o may_v likewise_o be_v save_v but_o the_o first_o be_v true_a therefore_o the_o second_o ans_fw-fr his_o former_a reason_n be_v not_o more_o false_a and_o foolish_a than_o this_o be_v wicked_a and_o profane_a for_o first_o wherefore_o serve_v it_o but_o in_o truth_n to_o teach_v man_n to_o cast_v off_o all_o care_n in_o seek_v god_n glory_n by_o a_o even_o walk_v and_o to_o do_v so_o much_o of_o his_o will_n as_o be_v sufficient_a to_o bring_v they_o to_o heaven_n and_o no_o more_o thus_o he_o counsel_v people_n to_o be_v lover_n of_o themselves_o more_o than_o lover_n of_o god_n yea_o to_o love_n god_n for_o themselves_o and_o to_o serve_v he_o for_o a_o reward_n only_o but_o let_v all_o person_n in_o all_o place_n take_v heed_n that_o they_o follow_v not_o this_o man_n advice_n for_o if_o they_o resolve_v to_o do_v no_o more_o but_o what_o they_o think_v will_v serve_v their_o turn_n to_o be_v save_v they_o will_v sure_o miss_v of_o that_o and_o for_o their_o self_n love_v suffer_v wrath_n and_o vengeance_n eternal_o 2_o howsoever_o iwill_v not_o judge_v another_o man_n servant_n yet_o it_o be_v more_o than_o he_o or_o any_o mortal_a man_n that_o can_v infallible_o tell_v whether_o mr._n bradford_n mr._n hooper_n and_o other_o be_v absolute_o save_v and_o therefore_o he_o reason_v still_o most_o childish_o to_o prove_v his_o matter_n by_o thing_n secret_a and_o know_v to_o god_n only_o 3_o when_o luther_n calvin_n and_o other_o leave_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n may_v not_o any_o popish_a priest_n have_v say_v as_o much_o to_o they_o if_o mr._n w._n mr._n c._n with_o other_o know_v the_o corruption_n then_o in_o worship_n etc._n etc._n now_o i_o perceive_v if_o mr._n dayr_n have_v be_v in_o their_o place_n he_o will_v not_o have_v separate_v from_o that_o synagogue_n of_o satan_n and_o to_o speak_v the_o very_a truth_n he_o can_v not_o do_v it_o lawful_o upon_o his_o own_o ground_n 4._o that_o these_o man_n know_v some_o corruption_n to_o be_v in_o their_o worship_n &_o ministry_n i_o grant_v it_o but_o not_o in_o that_o kind_n and_o degree_n which_o the_o nonconformist_n since_o have_v manifest_v for_o if_o they_o have_v certain_o know_v that_o these_o thing_n be_v unlawful_a and_o antichristian_a and_o their_o church_n government_n take_v whole_o from_o the_o pope_n i_o believe_v they_o will_v not_o have_v join_v in_o spiritual_a communion_n therewith_o &_o therefore_o mr._n dair_n shameful_o abuse_v the_o reader_n to_o say_v the_o martyr_n see_v their_o corruption_n and_o they_o be_v the_o same_o which_o they_o have_v now_o whereas_o he_o shall_v have_v prove_v that_o they_o see_v they_o according_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o they_o and_o as_o his_o fellow_n brethren_n have_v since_o see_v they_o &_o affirm_v they_o to_o be_v for_o unless_o this_o can_v be_v show_v they_o differ_v herein_o asmuch_o from_o the_o martyr_n as_o if_o one_o sin_v ignorant_o and_o another_o against_o his_o knowledge_n and_o conscience_n 5._o the_o saint_n be_v teach_v of_o god_n not_o to_o be_v servant_n of_o man_n but_o to_o live_v by_o their_o own_o faith_n &_o 3._o to_o press_v forward_o towards_o the_o mark_n and_o therefore_o he_o show_v little_a skill_n in_o the_o course_n of_o religion_n to_o set_v down_o this_o or_o that_o man_n practice_n for_o a_o rule_n to_o walk_v by_o unless_o he_o have_v profess_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o familist_n or_o perfectist_n and_o so_o will_v make_v the_o world_n believe_v that_o none_o can_v err_v which_o take_v such_o for_o example_n who_o he_o prescribe_v to_o they_o 6._o i_o can_v tell_v for_o what_o end_n be_v propound_v this_o argument_n for_o imagine_v it_o shall_v be_v grant_v he_o that_o the_o martyr_n know_v the_o corruption_n of_o their_o church_n etc._n etc._n and_o yet_o be_v save_v and_o so_o be_v many_o now_o in_o england_n which_o understand_v the_o same_o what_o will_v he_o from_o hence_o conclude_v i_o think_v there_o be_v no_o man_n on_o earth_n that_o know_v if_o there_o be_v they_o may_v do_v well_o at_o the_o next_o impression_n of_o his_o book_n to_o set_v it_o in_o the_o margin_n for_o to_o cover_v what_o they_o can_v the_o man_n empty_a naked_a and_o absurd_a writing_n mr._n dayr_a have_v show_v his_o best_a skill_n wit_n and_o learning_n to_o prove_v their_o parish_n assembly_n true_a church_n in_o his_o second_o book_n according_a to_o his_o division_n he_o attempt_v to_o confute_v the_o description_n which_o mr._n barrow_n and_o the_o brownist_n as_o he_o malicious_o name_v god_n people_n have_v lay_v down_o of_o a_o true_a visible_a church_n and_o about_o this_o point_n he_o write_v more_o than_o a_o hundred_o and_o fifty_o page_n all_o the_o matter_n whereof_o leave_v out_o his_o battalogy_n and_o impertinenr_a speech_n may_v well_o have_v be_v write_v in_o six_o leaf_n of_o papier_n but_o it_o seem_v the_o man_n want_v no_o money_n and_o therefore_o will_v make_v it_o up_o to_o his_o reader_n in_o tail_n what_o he_o can_v not_o do_v in_o weight_n forget_v in_o the_o mean_a time_n the_o proverb_n a_o little_a and_o good_a and_o also_o what_o the_o learned_a use_n to_o say_v the_o worth_n of_o a_o writing_n do_v not_o consist_v in_o bulk_n and_o
