faithful_a witness_n of_o many_o truth_n have_v live_v in_o more_o or_o less_o yea_o in_o main_a and_o fundamental_a point_n ever_o since_o the_o apostasy_n not_o to_o instance_n in_o all_o see_v

godly_a person_n of_o high_a note_n in_o all_o age_n since_o the_o apostasy_n see_v not_o as_o first_o concern_v the_o nature_n of_o a_o particular_a church_n to_o consist_v only_o of_o holy_a and_o

if_o they_o agree_v not_o which_o they_o be_v not_o like_a to_o do_v and_o submit_v to_o that_o way_n of_o church-fellowship_n and_o worship_n which_o in_o new_a england_n be_v set_v up_o they_o can_v

it_o please_v mr_n cotton_n and_o other_o most_o incense_a to_o give_v myself_o a_o testimony_n of_o godliness_n etc._n etc._n and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o although_o i_o confess_v with_o joy_n the_o care_n of_o the_o new_a english_a church_n that_o no_o person_n be_v receive_v to_o fellowship_n with_o they_o in_o who_o they_o can_v first_o discern_v true_a regeneration_n and_o the_o life_n of_o jesus_n yet_o i_o say_v and_o still_o affirm_v that_o godly_a and_o regenerate_a person_n according_a to_o all_o the_o former_a instance_n and_o reason_n be_v not_o fit_v to_o constitute_v the_o true_a christian_a church_n until_o it_o have_v please_v god_n to_o convince_v their_o soul_n of_o the_o evil_a of_o the_o false_a church_n worship_n godly_a person_n live_v tree_n &_o live_a

not_o dead_a but_o live_a tree_n not_o dead_a but_o live_a stone_n and_o need_v no_o new_a regeneration_n and_o so_o in_o that_o respect_n need_v no_o fell_n nor_o dig_v out_o yet_o need_v they_o a_o mighty_a work_n of_o god_n spirit_n to_o humble_a and_o ashame_n they_o and_o to_o cause_v they_o to_o loathe_v themselves_o for_o their_o abomination_n or_o stink_v in_o god_n nostril_n as_o it_o please_v god_n spirit_n to_o speak_v of_o false_a worship_n hence_o ezek._n 43._o 11._o god_n people_n be_v not_o fit_a for_o god_n house_n until_o holy_a shame_n be_v wrought_v in_o they_o for_o
