the_o second_o and_o three_o part_n and_o therein_o for_o the_o more_o conveniency_n invert_v the_o order_n and_o begin_v first_o with_o the_o place_n call_v antioch_n 3._o first_o then_o negative_o not_o at_o jerusalem_n and_o that_o for_o two_o reason_n first_o because_o jerusalem_n have_v late_o lose_v its_o credit_n with_o the_o great_a god_n of_o heaven_n it_o be_v become_v bankrupt_a in_o its_o reputation_n for_o her_o ingratitude_n to_o god_n and_o cruelty_n to_o his_o servant_n matthew_n 23.37_o o_o jerusalem_n jerusalem_n thou_o that_o kill_v the_o prophet_n and_o stone_v they_o which_o be_v send_v unto_o thou_o how_o often_o will_v i_o have_v gather_v thy_o child_n together_o even_o as_o a_o hen_n gather_v her_o chicken_n under_o her_o wing_n and_o you_o will_v not_o behold_v your_o house_n be_v leave_v unto_o you_o desolate_a yea_o it_o be_v utter_o unfit_a that_o the_o name_n of_o christian_n shall_v begin_v or_o be_v bear_v in_o that_o place_n where_o christ_n be_v so_o cruel_o put_v to_o death_n 4._o second_o because_o jerusalem_n be_v of_o a_o covetous_a envious_a and_o engross_a nature_n ready_a to_o monopolise_v and_o enclose_v all_o honour_n to_o itself_o so_o that_o have_v the_o name_n of_o christian_n first_o begin_v within_o the_o wall_n of_o jerusalem_n the_o jew_n will_v have_v be_v ready_a alone_o to_o lay_v claim_n thereunto_o exclude_v the_o gentile_n to_o have_v any_o participation_n therein_o as_o christ_n therefore_o suffer_v without_o the_o wall_n of_o jerusalem_n thereby_o proclaim_v himself_o a_o public_a good_a not_o appropriate_v to_o that_o private_a nation_n and_o for_o the_o same_o cause_v the_o name_n of_o christian_n begin_v not_o at_o jerusalem_n but_o at_o antioch_n 5._o second_o negative_o the_o name_n begin_v not_o at_o rome_n o_o how_o will_v the_o tide_n of_o tybur_n have_v swell_v beyond_o bound_n and_o bank_n have_v the_o name_n of_o christ_n first_o begin_v from_o that_o city_n how_o will_v the_o papist_n boast_v though_o not_o without_o some_o cause_n yet_o beyond_o all_o measure_n that_o rome_n in_o a_o manner_n be_v the_o godmother_n of_o true_a religion_n &_o give_v she_o the_o name_n of_o christianity_n if_o a_o father_n can_v in_o his_o write_n vail_v his_o bonnet_n in_o a_o civil_a respect_n to_o the_o city_n of_o rome_n and_o give_v it_o a_o regardful_a salutation_n because_o it_o be_v the_o imperial_a city_n of_o the_o world_n if_o a_o ancient_a ecclesiastical_a historian_n can_v give_v it_o a_o rhetorical_a compliment_n in_o respect_n it_o be_v so_o famous_a a_o church_n and_o most_o ancient_a patriarchall_a seat_n have_v precedency_n before_o though_o not_o superiority_n above_o all_o other_o church_n i_o say_v if_o in_o such_o case_n their_o expression_n be_v hail_v and_o tug_v by_o popish_a parasite_n to_o signify_v contrary_a to_o the_o mind_n of_o the_o speaker_n the_o primacy_n and_o infallibility_n of_o the_o romish_a church_n how_o will_v they_o ere_o now_o have_v hollow_v it_o into_o the_o ear_n of_o deaf_a man_n &_o imperious_o upbraid_v the_o church_n of_o england_n if_o the_o name_n of_o christian_n have_v its_o rise_n from_o rome_n and_o original_a in_o the_o wall_n thereof_o but_o god_n have_v mar_v their_o mark_n and_o pair_v their_o pride_n and_o blast_v their_o boast_n christian_n be_v first_o so_o call_v not_o at_o rome_n but_o at_o antioch_n 6._o here_o let_v we_o inquire_v orderly_o into_o two_o thing_n 1._o what_o be_v antioch_n 2._o what_o be_v antioch_n what_o be_v it_o i_o confess_v there_o be_v many_o city_n in_o asia_n of_o that_o name_n no_o few_o than_o seven_o and_o twenty_o which_o i_o can_v easy_o demonstrate_v be_v it_o not_o my_o work_n to_o preach_v heaven_n unto_o you_o and_o not_o to_o read_v a_o geography_n lecture_n 7._o the_o reason_n why_o there_o be_v so_o many_o antioches_fw-mi be_v this_o because_o there_o be_v two_o antiochuss_n successive_o both_o puissant_a prince_n and_o eminent_a emperor_n of_o asia_n who_o sound_v repair_v and_o enlarge_v several_a city_n call_v they_o all_o after_o their_o own_o name_n beside_o they_o have_v many_o friend_n and_o favourite_n who_o to_o ingratiate_v themselves_o with_o these_o prince_n call_v the_o city_n of_o their_o own_o erection_n after_o the_o name_n of_o antiochus_n 8._o but_o the_o antiochia_n mention_v in_o the_o text_n be_v certain_o know_v to_o be_v antiochia_n in_o coelosyria_n so_o call_v because_o lie_v in_o a_o hollow_a vale_n interpose_v between_o the_o mountain_n of_o libanus_n and_o antilibanus_n it_o

inconsiderable_a village_n famous_a only_a for_o what_o it_o have_v be_v the_o church_n therein_o be_v bury_v in_o their_o own_o churchyard_n it_o fall_v so_o much_o under_o the_o notice_n of_o a_o

which_o be_v worst_a of_o all_o a_o sound_n christian_n and_o orthodox_n in_o his_o judgement_n be_v hardly_o to_o be_v find_v in_o that_o city_n where_o christianity_n first_o begin_v it_o be_v at_o this_o day_n infect_v with_o mahumetism_n and_o such_o few_o sorry_a christian_n as_o remain_v therein_o be_v infect_v in_o the_o fundamental_n of_o religion_n for_o they_o follow_v the_o greek_a
