their_o word_n and_o bond_n i_o know_v not_o what_o that_o faith_n shall_v mean_v we_o ordinary_o take_v faith_n for_o that_o whereby_o we_o believe_v and_o not_o that_o which_o we_o believe_v or_o if_o you_o take_v it_o so_o metonymical_o objective_o what_o be_v it_o other_o than_o god_n or_o the_o will_n of_o god_n which_o i_o suppose_v you_o mean_v the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o god_n or_o his_o will_n in_o its_o essence_n be_v not_o immediate_o object_v to_o we_o but_o he_o reveal_v his_o will_n in_o his_o word_n but_o to_o the_o substance_n of_o this_o boast_n and_o that_o that_o follow_v if_o there_o be_v any_o substance_n in_o it_o if_o you_o will_v believe_v god_n and_o the_o sufficiency_n of_o his_o institution_n without_o the_o surety_n of_o human_a reason_n and_o

of_o iniquity_n and_o as_o for_o your_o suffering_n for_o it_o which_o you_o boast_v of_o alas_o suffering_n be_v subject_a to_o the_o same_o vanity_n and_o bondage_n of_o corruption_n as_o do_n yea_o and_o the_o whole_a creation_n be_v i_o to_o be_v apply_v to_o ill_a thing_n and_o graft_v with_o a_o ill_a cause_n though_o i_o say_v not_o it_o be_v ill_a as_o oppose_a prelacy_n or_o as_o it_o be_v a_o gradual_a recidivation_n from_o that_o tyranny_n and_o as_o for_o the_o acceptance_n of_o your_o endeavour_n and_o suffering_n in_o that_o cause_n and_o your_o inference_n thereupon_o that_o therefore_o you_o see_v no_o good_a eadem_fw-la reason_n why_o a_o truth_n than_o shall_v not_o be_v count_v a_o truth_n now_o you_o beg_v the_o question_n prove_v first_o it_o be_v a_o truth_n otherwise_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n if_o that_o which_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o truth_n six_o or_o seven_o year_n ago_o find_v not_o the_o same_o acknowledgement_n now_o as_o may_v be_v instance_v in_o

a_o carnal_a one_o and_o i_o have_v rather_o hear_v and_o it_o will_v better_o become_v a_o spiritual_a man_n to_o compare_v spiritual_a thing_n with_o spiritual_a for_o christ_n institution_n 13._o must_v not_o be_v exact_v by_o the_o last_o and_o rule_n of_o human_a ordinance_n god_n give_v moses_n the_o pattern_n of_o the_o tabernacle_n in_o the_o mount_n he_o do_v not_o send_v he_o to_o take_v a_o pattern_n for_o it_o from_o any_o 30._o earthly_a frame_n or_o fabric_n though_o there_o be_v far_o more_o costly_a and_o curious_a but_o the_o tabernacle_n be_v to_o have_v and_o have_v a_o fashion_n by_o itself_o that_o differ_v from_o all_o when_o we_o know_v the_o true_a nature_n of_o spiritual_a thing_n of_o the_o device_n of_o god_n as_o i_o may_v call_v they_o we_o may_v find_v a_o resemblance_n of_o they_o in_o thing_n here_o below_o which_o be_v make_v after_o they_o but_o we_o can_v fetch_v the_o knowledge_n of_o heavenly_a composure_n from_o these_o earthly_a thing_n 2._o yet_o neither_o be_v this_o bed_n of_o your_o simile_n large_a enough_o for_o the_o tall_a 20._o and_o proper_a limb_n of_o your_o presbytery_n to_o stretch_v themselves_o upon_o for_o though_o the_o several_a company_n in_o each_o city_n as_o you_o say_v though_o we_o have_v not_o many_o such_o city_n in_o england_n except_o you_o have_v more_o of_o they_o in_o scotland_n wherein_o there_o be_v such_o several_a company_n that_o have_v all_o their_o several_a hall_n e._n g._n merchant_n tailor_n gross_a etc._n etc._n for_o to_o yield_v the_o matter_n of_o this_o simile_n be_v not_o independent_a but_o associate_n and_o combine_v in_o a_o common_a council_n etc._n etc._n yet_o there_o be_v corporation_n as_o small_a as_o these_o company_n in_o the_o kingdom_n that_o be_v independent_a and_o do_v not_o act_v in_o association_n or_o coordination_n so_o that_o if_o the_o church_n in_o the_o city_n must_v to_o hold_v correspondence_n with_o the_o form_n of_o civil_a government_n be_v in_o association_n and_o act_n in_o a_o presbytery_n yet_o this_o simile_n will_v not_o carry_v any_o such_o thing_n to_o a_o ordinary_a understanding_n that_o in_o the_o country_n where_o they_o live_v three_o or_o four_o or_o more_o mile_n asunder_o and_o act_v their_o civil_a affair_n independent_o they_o must_v do_v so_o nay_o then_o we_o will_v argue_v from_o the_o simile_n if_o the_o town_n in_o the_o country_n be_v independent_a in_o their_o civil_a government_n that_o be_v act_n single_o and_o independent_o in_o respect_n of_o any_o other_o town_n intermeddle_v their_o own_o business_n and_o concernment_n as_o they_o do_v why_o shall_v not_o the_o church_n in_o those_o town_n do_v so_o too_o then_o at_o least_o the_o church_n in_o the_o country_n must_v be_v exampt_v from_o presbytery_n but_o 3._o i_o answer_v to_o your_o simile_n that_o as_o it_o be_v short_a than_o that_o presbytery_n as_o you_o will_v be_v willing_a to_o extend_v it_o in_o the_o praxis_fw-la may_v stretch_v itself_o upon_o so_o it_o be_v abs_fw-la re_fw-la far_o from_o illustrate_v the_o sense_n you_o intend_v for_o your_o simile_n in_o the_o true_a resolution_n of_o it_o propose_v no_o other_o then_o whether_o inferior_n may_v act_v independent_a of_o their_o superior_n for_o all_o those_o appeal_n whereof_o you_o speak_v be_v still_o resolve_v into_o a_o high_a notion_n power_n and_o authority_n e._n g._n the_o lord_n major_n court_n of_o alderman_n and_o common_a council_n be_v superior_a to_o any_o company_n or_o company_n of_o the_o city_n in_o degree_n as_o their_o ruler_n or_o amount_v to_o a_o superiority_n in_o value_n and_o sum_n as_o the_o representative_a of_o the_o city_n the_o whole_a which_o be_v better_a than_o any_o part_n therefore_o your_o simile_n be_v not_o fit_a for_o this_o purpose_n but_o now_o if_o you_o will_v propose_v a_o proper_a simile_n it_o shall_v be_v thus_o whether_o company_n or_o corporation_n equal_a and_o coordinate_a may_v not_o and_o do_v not_o act_v their_o own_o proper_a affair_n and_o concernment_n independent_o in_o respect_n of_o one_o another_o i_o whether_o if_o a_o citizen_n of_o merchant-taylor_n company_n be_v aggrieve_v by_o the_o carriage_n of_o any_o thing_n in_o that_o company_n he_o can_v so_o appeal_v to_o the_o company_n of_o the_o stationer_n and_o the_o company_n of_o the_o vintner_n and_o two_o or_o three_o more_o or_o the_o head_n of_o these_o as_o to_o subject_v the_o company_n of_o merchant-taylor_n to_o the_o jurisdiction_n and_o arbitrament_n of_o those_o company_n for_o this_o be_v the_o case_n here_o as_o suppose_v there_o be_v no_o imparity_n i_o superiority_n or_o inferiority_n in_o the_o church_n but_o all_o be_v coordinate_a all_o be_v one_o spouse_n to_o jesus_n christ_n and_o he_o entrust_v one_o congregation_n as_o well_o and_o as_o much_o as_o another_o and_o give_v they_o as_o large_a a_o share_n of_o common_a interest_n in_o spiritual_a government_n or_o manage_v the_o matter_n of_o his_o kingdom_n one_o church_n as_o another_o and_o have_v make_v no_o common_a council_n no_o court_n of_o alderman_n no_o lord_n major_a in_o his_o church_n nor_o no_o officer_n or_o distinction_n answer_v to_o these_o and_o suppose_v further_o that_o as_o neither_o male_a nor_o female_a bond_n nor_o free_a so_o such_o a_o distinction_n of_o whole_a and_o part_n have_v no_o place_n in_o this_o matter_n but_o christ_n jesus_n the_o quicken_a spirit_n be_v as_o in_o all_o so_o all_o in_o all_o and_o each_o of_o these_o particular_a body_n and_o as_o a_o whole_a christ_n go_v for_o the_o ransom_n of_o each_o particular_a believer_n and_o a_o whole_a christ_n be_v in_o every_o believer_n as_o the_o soul_n tota_fw-la

it_o will_v be_v find_v to_o be_v that_o each_o part_n be_v to_o christ_n as_o the_o whole_a christ_n be_v indivisible_a and_o recollect_v his_o whole_a self_n in_o himself_o and_o in_o every_o part_n of_o himself_o which_o the_o spirit_n of_o human_a power_n order_n and_o authority_n can_v do_v and_o so_o we_o can_v weigh_v christ_n against_o 13._o christ_n christ_n
