believe_v can_v never_o come_v to_o pass_v to_o the_o end_n to_o draw_v man_n unto_o themselves_o when_o it_o please_v god_n so_o to_o chasten_v and_o punish_v the_o contempt_n of_o his_o truth_n now_o that_o the_o mark_n of_o the_o church_n be_v not_o always_o bright-shining_a and_o clear_a it_o be_v apparent_a and_o manifest_a not_o only_o by_o the_o menace_n and_o threat_n which_o the_o

the_o state_n in_o which_o the_o poor_a church_n be_v propose_v unto_o we_o to_o be_v in_o the_o verse_n go_v before_o not_o know_v in_o a_o manner_n on_o which_o side_n to_o turn_v itself_o in_o such_o a_o utter_a confusion_n 2_o and_o therefore_o our_o duty_n be_v well_o and_o narrow_o to_o consider_v the_o answer_n make_v unto_o the_o spouse_n by_o he_o himself_o who_o alone_o to_o speak_v proper_o speak_v in_o verity_n &_o truth_n see_v it_o be_v he_o who_o be_v truth_n itself_o and_o who_o never_o forsake_v those_o who_o be_v he_o in_o their_o need_n after_o a_o preface_n therefore_o first_o make_v to_o encourage_v and_o to_o comfort_v she_o calling_z her_z the_o fair_a among_o woman_n he_o answer_v his_o spouse_n in_o this_o sense_n it_o be_v true_a indeed_o that_o thou_o be_v a_o poor_a wander_a stray_n and_o therefore_o black_a and_o sunne-burnt_a but_o yet_o thou_o leave_v not_o for_o all_o that_o to_o be_v fair_a and_o beutifull_a in_o my_o eye_n yea_o adorn_v with_o such_o a_o beauty_n as_o none_o beside_o thyself_o can_v vaunt_v and_o boast_v of_o this_o be_v the_o very_a stile_n which_o the_o lord_n himself_o use_v by_o his_o prophet_n add_v always_o a_o consolation_n and_o comfort_n after_o his_o threat_n and_o judgement_n as_o be_v express_o speak_v and_o in_o the_o same_o sense_n by_o the_o prophet_n esaie_n say_v come_v my_o people_n enter_v

unto_o he_o in_o the_o eight_o verse_n o_o eternal_a we_o wait_v for_o thou_o in_o the_o way_n of_o thy_o judgement_n now_o the_o foundation_n of_o this_o comfort_n and_o consolation_n consist_v in_o two_o point_n both_o of_o they_o ground_v upon_o the_o singular_a mercy_n of_o god_n the_o first_o be_v that_o the_o lord_n never_o suffer_v the_o ground_n article_n and_o point_n of_o true_a religion_n to_o be_v abolish_v in_o his_o church_n though_o they_o be_v in_o diverse_a sort_n both_o within_o and_o without_o disguise_v and_o bastardize_a and_o that_o sometime_o this_o truth_n remain_v but_o among_o a_o few_o as_o we_o see_v it_o come_v to_o pass_v in_o israel_n in_o the_o time_n of_o elias_n in_o juda_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o captivity_n of_o babylon_n in_o jerusalem_n itself_o then_o when_o the_o lord_n come_v in_o person_n the_o other_o point_n be_v that_o the_o lord_n consider_v not_o his_o church_n simple_o according_a unto_o his_o grace_n and_o blessing_n which_o shine_v in_o she_o which_o be_v sometime_o most_o dark_a and_o obscure_a in_o the_o eye_n of_o man_n but_o respect_v she_o always_o in_o the_o truth_n of_o his_o covenant_n and_o in_o he_o in_o who_o she_o be_v indeed_o not_o only_o without_o spot_n or_o wrinkle_n coloss_n 1.22_o but_o which_o be_v more_o clothe_v with_o the_o perfect_a righteousness_n of_o the_o reconciler_n phil._n 3.9_o 3_o let_v we_o therefore_o know_v that_o the_o church_n leave_v not_o to_o be_v a_o church_n though_o the_o true_a doctrine_n touch_v certain_a article_n be_v therein_o debate_v yea_o though_o it_o be_v touch_v the_o principal_a article_n by_o some_o as_o the_o weakness_n of_o some_o and_o the_o wickedness_n of_o other_o be_v great_a whereof_o the_o church_n of_o corinth_n may_v be_v a_o witness_n in_o which_o the_o article_n of_o the_o resurrection_n be_v call_v by_o some_o into_o controversy_n and_o the_o church_n of_o the_o galathian_o so_o shake_v that_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o member_n thereof_o it_o be_v utter_o revolt_v as_o the_o apostle_n himself_o witness_v gal._n 1.6_o who_o notwithstanding_o leave_v not_o to_o call_v they_o church_n of_o jesus_n christ_n which_o he_o also_o reform_v &_o restore_v according_a unto_o that_o lesson_n which_o he_o teach_v other_o rom._n 14.1_o and_o therefore_o these_o fantastical_a catharistes_n and_o donatist_n of_o old_a and_o those_o of_o our_o time_n of_o the_o sect_n of_o the_o anabaptist_n who_o seek_v after_o such_o a_o church_n in_o this_o world_n as_o shall_v have_v no_o fault_n nor_o any_o thing_n amiss_o in_o it_o be_v utterlie_o to_o be_v reject_v 4_o but_o it_o be_v far_o a_o other_o thing_n to_o dispute_v and_o make_v a_o question_n of_o that_o which_o a_o man_n know_v not_o with_o a_o will_n and_o desire_v to_o learn_v and_o know_v it_o and_o stubburn_o to_o oppose_v a_o man_n self_n against_o the_o truth_n and_o final_o to_o maintain_v and_o authorise_v a_o doctrine_n direct_o contrary_a unto_o the_o article_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o thus_o be_v it_o at_o length_n come_v to_o pass_v in_o the_o romish_a church_n at_o this_o day_n which_o for_o this_o cause_n do_v no_o more_o deserve_v the_o name_n of_o a_o church_n then_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o ten_o tribe_n revolt_n with_o jeroboam_fw-la the_o son_n of_o nabath_n deserve_v the_o
