apostle_n expression_n that_o there_o seem_v to_o be_v no_o show_n of_o such_o a_o sense_n in_o the_o word_n give_v in_o his_o reason_n for_o there_o be_v not_o a_o word_n of_o take_v into_o the_o olive_n but_o by_o faith_n verse_n 19_o 20._o there_o be_v indeed_o here_o no_o show_n of_o reason_n unless_o it_o can_v be_v affirm_v that_o there_o be_v no_o faith_n but_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o elect_n and_o that_o which_o be_v justify_v therefore_o if_o it_o please_v the_o author_n i_o shall_v enter_v the_o list_n with_o he_o in_o these_o three_o position_n 1._o that_o faith_n be_v take_v in_o more_o acception_n than_o one_o in_o scripture_n all_o faith_n do_v not_o entitle_v to_o the_o church_n invisible_a and_o therefore_o there_o be_v scarce_o show_v of_o sense_n in_o his_o reason_n dispute_v from_o the_o genus_fw-la to_o the_o species_n affirmatiuè_fw-fr or_o from_o the_o analogum_fw-la to_o the_o analogatum_fw-la 2._o that_o the_o faith_n here_o speak_v to_o be_v as_o doctor_n feat_o assert_n the_o doctrine_n of_o faith_n not_o the_o habit_n faith_n of_o profession_n and_o not_o a_o particular_a affiance_n fides_fw-la quam_fw-la and_o not_o fides_fw-la qua_fw-la credimus_fw-la and_o so_o the_o fallacy_n be_v clear_a and_o it_o will_v no_o more_o follow_v that_o the_o engraff_n be_v into_o the_o church_n invisible_a because_o it_o be_v by_o faith_n than_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o because_o bruit_n have_v soul_n that_o therefore_o they_o have_v reasonable_a soul_n 3._o that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n in_o all_o scripture_n as_o engraff_n into_o the_o church_n invisible_a by_o faith_n all_o engraff_n be_v into_o the_o body_n visible_a and_o therefore_o by_o a_o faith_n of_o profession_n 1._o all_o engraff_n be_v into_o that_o subject_n which_o immediate_o receive_v what_o be_v ingraff_v as_o the_o stock_n receive_v the_o scion_n but_o it_o be_v christ_n and_o not_o the_o church_n invisible_a that_o receive_v the_o elect_a believer_n
