raven_a wolf_n but_o again_o our_o saviour_n say_v in_o saint_n mark_v gospel_n 30._o mark_v 10._o v._o 29_o 30._o there_o be_v no_o man_n that_o have_v leave_v house_n or_o land_n or_o wife_n and_o

heb._n 6._o v._o 10._o he_o speak_v to_o the_o purpose_n in_o this_o point_n that_o god_n be_v not_o unrighteous_a to_o forget_v you_o work_v and_o labour_n of_o love_n which_o you_o have_v show_v towards_o his_o name_n in_o that_o you_o have_v minister_v to_o the_o saint_n now_o you_o may_v perceive_v st._n paul_n opinion_n which_o be_v that_o it_o will_v seem_v unjust_a in_o god_n if_o he_o

that_o it_o be_v so_o shall_v be_v make_v manifest_o to_o appear_v if_o you_o will_v believe_v christ_n himself_o who_o can_v deceive_v we_o where_o in_o saint_n john_n gospel_n tell_v his_o

in_o the_o same_o church_n and_o i_o pray_v then_o where_o will_v your_o error_n remain_v but_o in_o your_o own_o bosom_n but_o see_v further_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o our_o saviour_n part_v out_o

then_o there_o can_v be_v no_o truth_n at_o all_o for_o we_o to_o be_v guide_v by_o for_o this_o be_v as_o clear_a as_o the_o sun_n that_o if_o the_o church_n of_o god_n be_v guide_v by_o a_o

this_o good_a already_o yet_o i_o will_v make_v it_o more_o plain_o appear_v from_o christ_n own_o word_n where_o he_o exhort_v brethren_n to_o be_v reconcile_v one_o to_o another_o which_o if_o they_o will_v not_o do_v by_o reasonable_a persuasion_n they_o shall_v tell_v the_o church_n 17._o matth._n 18._o v._n 17._o and_o if_o they_o will_v not_o hear_v the_o church_n let_v they_o be_v as_o heathen_n and_o publican_n by_o which_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o if_o the_o church_n be_v not_o infallible_a just_a and_o free_a from_o error_n our_o saviour_n will_v never_o have_v tie_v we_o to_o her_o judgement_n in_o our_o faith_n and_o manner_n under_o so_o sad_a a_o penalty_n as_o be_v a_o heathen_a if_o we_o do_v not_o hear_v and_o submit_v to_o she_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v very_o necessary_a for_o every_o one_o to_o submit_v to_o god_n church_n which_o be_v infallible_o true_a lest_o they_o be_v heathen_n in_o the_o esteem_n of_o god_n and_o man_n and_o consequent_o outlaw_n to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n again_o see_v what_o our_o saviour_n say_v to_o this_o purpose_n in_o the_o same_o gospel_n and_o i_o say_v unto_o thou_o 18._o matth._n 16._o v._n 18._o that_o thou_o be_v peter_n and_o upon_o this_o rock_n will_v i_o build_v my_o church_n and_o the_o gate_n of_o hell_n shall_v never_o prevail_v against_o it_o now_o if_o the_o church_n can_v be_v erroneous_a than_o you_o must_v deny_v this_o gospel_n to_o be_v true_a for_o no_o error_n can_v be_v in_o the_o church_n but_o by_o the_o prevail_a power_n of_o the_o devil_n which_o be_v mean_v by_o hell-gate_n and_o which_o our_o saviour_n say_v shall_v never_o prevail_v against_o it_o so_o by_o this_o we_o be_v certain_a the_o church_n can_v err_v and_o we_o may_v confident_o confide_v in_o she_o in_o all_o matter_n of_o our_o salvation_n but_o for_o your_o further_a assurance_n if_o our_o saviour_n be_v not_o enough_o i_o will_v show_v you_o what_o st._n paul_n say_v concern_v this_o truth_n

of_o god_n and_o for_o to_o say_v that_o there_o be_v no_o way_n to_o be_v free_a from_o it_o will_v be_v very_o strange_a for_o then_o all_o man_n will_v grope_v in_o dark_a uncertainty_n which_o
