to_o be_v govern_v and_o preserve_v church_n not_o by_o ordinary_a succession_n s._n paul_n do_v witness_v the_o same_o ephes_n 4._o he_o have_v give_v gift_n unto_o man_n 〈…〉_o that_o the_o apostle_n

paul_n call_v the_o same_o the_o seat_n of_o truth_n but_o this_o self_n same_o true_a church_n have_v her_o doctrine_n sometime_o more_o and_o sometime_o less_o pure_a &_o manifest_a she_o have_v also_o in_o her_o many_o weak_a and_o feeble_a member_n as_o the_o apostle_n be_v the_o church_n be_v but_o yet_o they_o understand_v not_o before_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n what_o shall_v be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n for_o peter_n after_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v give_v do_v yet_o suppose_v that_o the_o rite_n and_o ceremony_n of_o the_o law_n be_v needful_a to_o be_v use_v but_o when_o he_o be_v admonish_v from_o heaven_n he_o then_o know_v that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o a_o judaical_a policy_n but_o spiritual_a and_o continual_a woorship_v of_o god_n afterward_o when_o the_o apostle_n begin_v to_o preach_v there_o do_v shine_v in_o they_o time_n a_o pure_a &_o clear_a doctrine_n &_o yet_o notwithstanding_o in_o mean_a season_n there_o be_v many_o weak_a member_n w_o c_o albeit_o they_o be_v true_a member_n of_o the_o church_n &_o hold_v still_o among_o they_o the_o article_n of_o the_o faith_n yet_o they_o add_v hereunto_o some_o error_n as_o they_o which_o observe_v the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o law_n &_o do_v not_o sufficient_o well_o understand_v the_o abrogation_n of_o the_o law_n &_o what_o be_v the_o true_a worship_v of_o god_n this_o be_v no_o small_a error_n &_o bring_v in_o with_o it_o some_o obscurity_n to_o the_o article_n of_o the_o faith_n so_o do_v christ_n foreshow_v as_o touch_v the_o church_n in_o the_o latter_a age_n that_o there_o shall_v happen_v great_a darkness_n which_o shall_v hinder_v the_o very_a elect_v one_o of_o god_n 24._o whereby_o they_o shall_v the_o less_o enjoy_v among_o they_o the_o true_a
