she_o be_v so_o poor_a as_o not_o to_o be_v able_a to_o maintain_v such_o seminary_n but_o on_o the_o way_n it_o be_v no_o great_a character_n of_o the_o piety_n of_o their_o church_n that_o she_o abound_v so_o with_o great_a and_o rich_a donation_n when_o we_o consider_v the_o art_n they_o use_v for_o acquire_v they_o by_o make_v people_n believe_v themselves_o secure_a of_o heaven_n by_o such_o donation_n indeed_o have_v we_o get_v our_o people_n befool_v into_o such_o persuasion_n the_o cheat_n may_v have_v prosper_v as_o well_o in_o our_o hand_n but_o we_o be_v not_o of_o those_o who_o handle_v the_o word_n of_o god_n deceitful_o nor_o will_v we_o draw_v the_o people_n even_o to_o do_v good_a with_o a_o crafty_a guile_n or_o lie_v for_o god._n but_o now_o as_o a_o conclusion_n to_o this_o discourse_n i_o must_v consider_v if_o all_o thing_n among_o we_o be_v so_o sound_a and_o well_o ground_v that_o with_o a_o quiet_a mind_n and_o good_a conscience_n every_o one_o may_v hold_v communion_n with_o our_o church_n and_o hope_v for_o salvation_n in_o it_o i_o shall_v therefore_o brief_o run_v over_o the_o nature_n and_o character_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n to_o see_v if_o any_o contradiction_n to_o they_o or_o any_o part_n of_o they_o be_v find_v among_o we_o and_o first_o of_o all_o we_o worship_v god_n in_o spirit_n as_o a_o spiritual_a be_v with_o suitable_a adoration_n which_o we_o direct_v to_o no_o image_n nor_o symbol_n of_o the_o divine_a presence_n but_o teach_v that_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o figure_n god_n to_o any_o corporeal_a be_v no_o not_o in_o our_o thought_n neither_o do_v we_o worship_v any_o beside_o god_n the_o father_n son_n and_o spirit_n we_o also_o worship_n christ_n but_o as_o he_o be_v god_n and_o have_v the_o fullness_n of_o the_o godhead_n dwell_v in_o he_o bodily_a angel_n indeed_o we_o honour_v but_o know_v they_o to_o be_v our_o fellow-servant_n we_o can_v pray_v to_o they_o or_o fall_v down_o before_o they_o we_o count_v the_o holy_a virgin_n bless_v among_o woman_n but_o dare_v give_v she_o no_o share_n of_o the_o glory_n due_a to_o her_o son_n all_o the_o saint_n we_o reverence_v and_o love_n but_o know_v god_n to_o be_v a_o jealous_a god_n we_o can_v divide_v that_o honour_n among_o they_o which_o be_v only_o due_a to_o he_o and_o therefore_o do_v neither_o worship_v they_o their_o image_n nor_o their_o relic_n we_o desire_v also_o to_o offer_v up_o to_o god_n such_o sacrifice_n as_o we_o know_v be_v well-pleasing_a to_o he_o prayer_n praise_n break_a and_o contrite_a heart_n and_o our_o soul_n and_o body_n but_o reject_v all_o charm_n and_o enchantment_n from_o our_o worship_n as_o contrary_a to_o the_o reasonable_a service_n which_o be_v acceptable_a to_o god_n and_o do_v retain_v the_o genuine_a simplicity_n of_o the_o gospel-worship_n in_o a_o plain_a and_o intelligible_a stile_n and_o form_n without_o any_o mixture_n draw_v from_o judaisme_n or_o gentilism_n and_o thus_o there_o be_v nothing_o among_o we_o contrary_a to_o the_o first_o design_n of_o religion_n and_o as_o little_o will_v be_v find_v against_o the_o second_o which_o be_v the_o honour_n due_a to_o christ_n in_o all_o his_o office_n we_o teach_v our_o people_n to_o study_v the_o scripture_n and_o to_o examine_v all_o we_o say_v by_o they_o and_o exhort_v they_o to_o depend_v on_o god_n who_o by_o his_o spirit_n will_v teach_v they_o as_o well_o as_o we_o neither_o do_v we_o pretend_v to_o a_o authority_n over_o their_o conscience_n but_o acknowledge_v ourselves_o man_n of_o like_a infirmity_n with_o the_o people_n who_o be_v all_o call_v to_o be_v a_o royal_a priesthood_n and_o thus_o we_o honour_v christ_n prophetical_a office_n by_o sound_v our_o faith_n only_o on_o the_o divine_a authority_n of_o the_o scripture_n we_o also_o believe_v there_o be_v no_o name_n give_v under_o heaven_n by_o which_o we_o can_v be_v save_v but_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n who_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n a_o ransom_n for_o our_o soul_n that_o by_o his_o cross_n we_o may_v be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n and_o it_o be_v to_o that_o one_o sacrifice_n that_o we_o teach_v all_o to_o fly_v for_o obtain_v remission_n of_o sin_n and_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n trust_v only_o to_o it_o and_o to_o nothing_o we_o have_v do_v or_o can_v do_v know_v that_o when_o we_o have_v do_v all_o we_o can_v do_v we_o be_v but_o unprofitable_a servant_n much_o less_o do_v we_o hope_v for_o any_o thing_n from_o any_o of_o our_o fellow-creature_n we_o apply_v our_o soul_n to_o no_o intercessor_n but_o christ_n and_o trust_v to_o no_o satisfaction_n but_o he_o and_o we_o acknowledge_v he_o the_o only_a king_n of_o his_o church_n who_o law_n must_v bind_v it_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world._n neither_o do_v we_o acknowledge_v any_o other_o authority_n but_o he_o over_o our_o conscience_n it_o be_v true_a in_o thing_n indifferent_a he_o have_v leave_v a_o power_n with_o his_o church_n to_o determine_v in_o those_o matter_n which_o may_v tend_v to_o advance_v order_n edification_n peace_n and_o decency_n but_o as_o the_o church_n can_v add_v to_o our_o faith_n so_o neither_o can_v it_o institute_v new_a piece_n of_o worship_n which_o shall_v commend_v we_o to_o god_n or_o bind_v any_o load_n upon_o our_o soul_n we_o own_o a_o ministerial_a authority_n in_o all_o the_o pastor_n of_o the_o church_n which_o they_o derive_v from_o jesus_n christ_n and_o not_o from_o any_o visible_a head_n on_o earth_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v only_o subject_a to_o christ_n we_o also_o hold_v that_o the_o civil_a power_n be_v of_o christ_n who_o gospel_n bind_v the_o duty_n of_o obedience_n to_o they_o more_o close_o on_o we_o and_o therefore_o if_o they_o do_v wrong_v we_o leave_v they_o to_o christ_n tribunal_n who_o set_v they_o up_o but_o pretend_v to_o no_o power_n from_o his_o gospel_n to_o coerce_v or_o resist_v they_o and_o thus_o we_o honour_v christ_n in_o all_o his_o office_n and_o so_o be_v conform_v to_o the_o second_o branch_n of_o the_o design_n of_o our_o faith._n we_o also_o receive_v the_o three_o with_o the_o same_o fidelity_n and_o whatever_o the_o practice_n of_o too_o too_o many_o among_o we_o be_v yet_o there_o be_v no_o ground_n to_o quarrel_v our_o doctrine_n we_o preach_v repentance_n to_o all_o and_o study_v to_o convince_v they_o of_o their_o misery_n and_o lose_v estate_n that_o they_o may_v mourn_v for_o their_o sin_n and_o turn_v to_o god_n by_o a_o new_a course_n of_o life_n we_o preach_v faith_n through_o christ_n in_o god_n as_o that_o which_o unite_v our_o soul_n to_o he_o by_o which_o we_o be_v in_o christ_n and_o christ_n be_v in_o we_o we_o stir_v up_o our_o people_n to_o love_v the_o lord_n their_o god_n with_o all_o their_o heart_n strength_n soul_n and_o mind_n and_o to_o wait_v for_o his_o son_n christ_n jesus_n who_o be_v the_o hope_n of_o glory_n and_o shall_v change_v our_o vile_a body_n into_o the_o likeness_n of_o his_o glorious_a body_n and_o from_o this_o great_a motive_n do_v we_o press_v our_o people_n to_o the_o study_n of_o holiness_n without_o which_o they_o shall_v never_o see_v god._n we_o send_v they_o to_o the_o ten_o commandment_n for_o the_o rule_n of_o their_o life_n who_o exposition_n we_o chief_o take_v from_o christ_n sermon_n on_o the_o mount_n neither_o can_v we_o be_v charge_v for_o have_v teach_v the_o people_n to_o break_v one_o of_o the_o least_o of_o these_o commandment_n we_o exhort_v all_o our_o hearer_n to_o make_v the_o life_n of_o christ_n the_o pattern_n of_o they_o and_o to_o learn_v of_o he_o who_o be_v meek_a and_o lowly_a in_o heart_n neither_o can_v our_o church_n be_v accuse_v of_o have_v teach_v any_o carnal_a doctrine_n for_o gratify_v the_o base_a interest_n of_o the_o flesh_n or_o for_o engross_a the_o power_n or_o treasure_n of_o the_o world_n the_o subsistence_n of_o our_o churchman_n be_v but_o a_o livelihood_n and_o not_o a_o treasure_n in_o a_o word_n we_o preach_v christ_n and_o he_o chrucify_v and_o all_o the_o rule_n of_o his_o gospel_n for_o order_v the_o conversation_n aright_o without_o add_v or_o take_v from_o it_o and_o thus_o our_o conformity_n to_o the_o three_o branch_n of_o christianity_n appear_v we_o teach_v also_o according_a to_o the_o four_o branch_n of_o christianity_n the_o doctrine_n of_o charity_n neither_o do_v we_o condemn_v any_o who_o hold_v the_o foundation_n though_o in_o some_o lesser_a matter_n they_o differ_v from_o we_o but_o hope_v they_o may_v be_v save_v as_o well_o as_o we_o we_o abhor_v the_o doctrine_n of_o cruel_a persecute_v of_o any_o for_o their_o conscience_n the_o outmost_a we_o allow_v of_o or_o desire_v of_o that_o nature_n be_v the_o preservation_n
