former_a answer_n affirm_v they_o to_o be_v true_a constitute_v church_n &_o that_o they_o have_v a_o true_a &_o lawful_a ministry_n set_v over_o they_o whereby_o you_o see_v we_o do_v not_o

this_o may_v serve_v for_o answer_v we_o can_v not_o understand_v their_o language_n and_o i_o think_v you_o can_v give_v we_o any_o good_a reason_n why_o we_o shall_v adjoin_v ourselves_o to_o worship_n god_n though_o in_o a_o true_a church_n when_o we_o can_v not_o understand_v what_o they_o say_v for_o how_o shall_v we_o profit_v or_o be_v edify_v by_o their_o doctrine_n how_o shall_v we_o say_v amen_o to_o their_o give_v of_o thanks_o see_v we_o know_v not_o what_o they_o say_v 1._o cor._n 14.16.17_o you_o yet_o further_o demand_v why_o we_o do_v not_o in_o judgement_n assent_v unto_o any_o or_o all_o those_o reform_a church_n that_o with_o a_o joint_a consent_n as_o may_v appear_v you_o say_v by_o the_o harmony_n of_o confession_n acknwledge_v the_o church_n of_o england_n to_o be_v a_o true_a church_n and_o give_v it_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o fellowship_n how_o dare_v they_o say_v you_o refuse_n etc._n etc._n to_o this_o i_o answer_v i_o do_v not_o know_v that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n bind_v we_o to_o assent_v unto_o the_o judgement_n of_o true_a church_n any_o further_a than_o we_o understand_v their_o judgement_n to_o assent_v with_o and_o agree_v unto_o the_o word_n of_o god_n true_a church_n may_v err_v in_o their_o judgement_n of_o another_o church_n especial_o if_o they_o be_v not_o right_o inform_v of_o their_o estate_n as_o it_o appear_v the_o reform_a church_n be_v not_o right_o inform_v of_o you_o for_o how_o then_o can_v they_o approve_v of_o the_o constitution_n ministry_n spiritual_a governor_n &_o spiritual_a government_n of_o your_o church_n to_o be_v warrantable_a by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o they_o must_v in_o so_o do_v condemn_v themselves_o for_o in_o all_o these_o point_n they_o be_v as_o far_o contrary_a to_o you_o as_o white_z and_o black_a true_a and_o false_a be_v the_o one_o to_o the_o other_o and_o i_o suppose_v none_o will_v say_v that_o two_o such_o contrary_n can_v be_v both_o true_a but_o mind_n with_o all_o the_o apostle_n say_v to_o particular_a church_n and_o person_n judge_v you_o what_o i_o say_v 1._o cor._n 10.15_o believe_v not_o every_o spirit_n but_o try_v the_o spirit_n etc._n etc._n 1_o joh._n 4.1_o and_o again_o if_o any_o man_n preach_v otherwise_o unto_o you_o then_o we_o have_v preach_v let_v he_o be_v accurse_v gala._n 1.8.9_o now_o you_o seem_v to_o teach_v we_o another_o gospel_n for_o you_o will_v not_o have_v we_o judge_v and_o try_v ourselves_o and_o other_o by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o send_v to_o other_o church_n in_o germany_n in_o france_n and_o geneva_n hear_v what_o they_o say_v and_o what_o they_o judge_n for_o truth_n or_o falsehood_n if_o they_o approve_v who_o dare_v disallow_v if_o they_o give_v the_o right_a hand_n of_o fellowship_n how_o dare_v we_o refuse_v etc._n etc._n thus_o you_o daub_v with_o untempered_a mortar_n have_v nothing_o but_o such_o old_a popish_a valour_n to_o countenance_v your_o counterdemand_n do_v ill_o beseem_v a_o man_n of_o your_o place_n and_o learning_n hear_v what_o the_o word_n of_o god_n say_v to_o the_o law_n and_o to_o the_o testimony_n if_o they_o speak_v not_o according_a to_o this_o word_n it_o be_v because_o there_o be_v no_o light_n in_o they_o isay_n 8.20_o your_o leave_v of_o this_o law_n and_o this_o testimony_n make_v we_o leave_v you_o you_o may_v as_o well_o bid_v we_o put_v out_o our_o own_o eye_n that_o other_o man_n may_v lead_v we_o and_o as_o soon_o will_v we_o follow_v you_o in_o that_o as_o in_o this_o your_o popish_a counsel_n we_o have_v learn_v to_o live_v by_o our_o own_o faith_n and_o to_o know_v that_o every_o man_n must_v bear_v his_o own_o burden_n and_o answerr_v for_o himself_o unto_o god_n hab._n 2.4_o gala._n 6.5_o and_o to_o think_v that_o any_o may_v excuse_v themselves_o or_o be_v the_o boulder_n because_o they_o have_v the_o approbation_n of_o other_o when_o they_o can_v not_o approve_v themselves_o by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n will_v prove_v but_o a_o evil_a and_o false_a delusion_n of_o satan_n therefore_o see_v that_o all_o man_n even_o whole_a church_n may_v err_v in_o their_o judgment_n let_v every_o man_n take_v heed_n how_o he_o judge_v and_o how_o he_o depend_v on_o other_o man_n and_o make_v flesh_n his_o arm_n and_o will_v not_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o reprove_v his_o iniquity_n as_o for_o the_o reform_a church_n we_o believe_v that_o they_o rejoice_v for_o the_o many_o truth_n you_o witness_n against_o popery_n and_o we_o also_o do_v the_o like_a but_o if_o you_o rely_v upon_o their_o

to_o excuse_v or_o save_v you_o and_o thus_o i_o think_v your_o sixth_o demand_n be_v sufficient_o answer_v let_v he_o that_o read_v consider_v 7_o demand_n your_o 7_o and_o 8_o demand_n be_v so_o much_o alike_o that_o one_o may_v judge_v they_o to_o be_v twin_n they_o resemble_v either_o other_o and_o so_o unlike_o the_o rest_n therefore_o this_o answer_n shall_v serve_v for_o they_o both_o until_o further_a occasion_n be_v offer_v in_o your_o seven_o demand_n you_o thus_o begin_v how_o can_v the_o church_n or_o church_n assembly_n be_v false_a etc._n etc._n 7_o answer_n i_o answer_v your_o church_n and_o church-assembly_n of_o england_n may_v be_v false_a for_o aught_o that_o you_o have_v yet_o say_v to_o the_o contrary_a but_o if_o we_o may_v entreat_v you_o to_o set_v forth_o and_o show_v we_o the_o right_a form_n and_o fashion_n of_o the_o build_n of_o your_o church_n we_o shall_v the_o better_o discern_v it_o and_o give_v you_o a_o direct_a answer_n to_o your_o demand_n then_o now_o we_o can_v do_v but_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n we_o will_v a_o little_a consider_v and_o examine_v what_o you_o say_v in_o these_o word_n of_o you_o how_o can_v the_o church_n or_o church-assembly_n etc._n etc._n you_o grant_v the_o whole_a nation_n to_o be_v a_o church_n then_o i_o thing_n you_o seem_v to_o divide_v that_o church_n into_o many_o church_n call_v they_o church_n

that_o be_v to_o hold_v that_o any_o nation_n can_v be_v a_o church_n now_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n we_o deem_v to_o be_v erroneous_a and_o false_a and_o do_v affirm_v that_o no_o
