church_n i_o beseech_v you_o be_v please_v to_o make_v your_o own_o application_n over_o and_o above_o all_o this_o i_o shall_v prove_v that_o the_o church_n be_v not_o only_o incapable_a of_o error_n

of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n who_o be_v never_o to_o forsake_v she_o 14._o joh._n 14._o and_o first_o our_o saviour_n promise_v that_o be_v will_v ask_v the_o father_n and_o he_o shall_v send_v another_o

which_o be_v the_o church_n of_o god_n the_o pillar_n &_o ground_n of_o truth_n how_o then_o can_v it_o possible_o err_v then_o s._n john_n tell_v we_o that_o our_o saviour_n say_v that_o he_o have_v

the_o same_o s._n john_n in_o his_o epistle_n general_n tell_v we_o 2.20_o 1_o john_n 2.20_o that_o we_o have_v a_o unction_n from_o the_o holy_a one_o and_o that_o we_o know_v all_o thing_n and_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v always_o capable_a to_o distinguish_v a_o lie_n from_o truth_n it_o must_v be_v therefore_o the_o unction_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o always_o teach_v the_o church_n

1.10_o 1_o cor._n 1.10_o paul_n now_o i_o beseech_v you_o brethren_n by_o the_o name_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o you_o all_o speak_v the_o same_o thing_n and_o that_o there_o he_o no_o

those_o of_o you_o will_v have_v serve_v the_o turn_n here_o be_v only_o two_o thing_n now_o as_o i_o conceive_v leave_v to_o be_v clear_v the_o one_o be_v that_o the_o prelate_n and_o principal_a person_n of_o christ_n church_n assemble_v together_o do_v make_v the_o representative_a body_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n the_o other_o be_v that_o the_o roman_n catholic_n church_n be_v that_o universal_a church_n disperse_v over_o the_o whole_a world_n as_o to_o the_o first_o it_o be_v sufficient_o clear_a by_o many_o such_o scripture_n as_o these_o and_o he_o stand_v and_o bless_v all_o the_o congregation_n of_o israel_n with_o a_o loud_a voice_n etc._n etc._n and_o the_o king_n and_o all_o israel_n with_o he_o offer_v sacrifice_n before_o the_o lord_n now_o that_o this_o must_v be_v only_o mean_v of_o the_o body_n representative_a of_o israel_n be_v plain_a to_o sense_n and_o particular_o express_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o chapter_n then_o solomon_n assemble_v the_o elder_n of_o israel_n and_o all_o the_o head_n of_o the_o tribe_n the_o chief_a of_o the_o father_n of_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n unto_o king_n solomon_n in_o jerusalem_n 8.58.62.1_o 1_o king_n 8.58.62.1_o thus_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n assemble_v represent_v the_o body_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n then_o as_o to_o the_o clear_n of_o the_o next_o point_n i_o must_v tell_v you_o a_o great_a mistake_n among_o you_o for_o you_o common_o speak_v of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n take_v it_o only_o for_o the_o particular_a church_n which_o former_o be_v and_o still_o be_v there_o and_o so_o it_o be_v no_o more_o indeed_o than_o particular_a but_o if_o you_o take_v it_o for_o the_o collection_n of_o all_o the_o faithful_a who_o be_v disperse_v over_o all_o the_o world_n do_v in_o old_a day_n always_o adhere_v and_o still_o do_v to_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n so_o it_o be_v call_v catholic_n or_o universal_a because_o diffuse_v over_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o it_o be_v call_v
grace_n but_o howsoever_o the_o institution_n of_o our_o saviour_n i_o be_o sure_a can_v not_o be_v without_o it_o 19.1.6_o matth._n 19.1.6_o and_o first_o he_o be_v please_v to_o repeat_v the_o word_n of_o the_o first_o institution_n for_o this_o cause_n shall_v a_o man_n leave_v his_o father_n &_o mother_n &_o shall_v cleave_v to_o his_o wife_n and_o they_o twain_o shall_v be_v one_o flesh_n wherefore_o they_o be_v no_o more_o twain_o but_o one_o flesh_n what_o therefore_o god_n have_v join_v together_o let_v no_o man_n put_v asunder_o now_o if_o god_n have_v joyndthemtogether_o it_o must_v be_v a_o divine_a conjunction_n and_o that_o can_v possible_o be_v without_o divine_a grace_n but_o this_o be_v most_o full_o express_v by_o st_n paul_n to_o the_o ephesian_n thus_o wife_n submit_v yourselves_o to_o your_o own_o husband_n as_o unto_o the_o lord_n for_o the_o husband_n be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o wife_n even_o as_o christ_n be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n and_o he_o be_v the_o saviour_n of_o the_o body_n therefore_o as_o the_o church_n be_v subject_a to_o christ_n 225_o ephes_n 5.22_o 23_o 225_o so_o let_v the_o wife_n be_v to_o their_o own_o husband_n in_o every_o thing_n husband_n love_v your_o wife_n even_o as_o christ_n also_o love_v the_o church_n and_o give_v himself_o for_o it_o etc._n etc._n and_o then_o conclude_v for_o this_o eause_n shall_v a_o man_n leave_v his_o father_n and_o mother_n and_o shall_v be_v join_v with_o his_o wife_n and_o they_o two_o shall_v be_v one_o flesh_n this_o be_v a_o great_a mystery_n or_o sacrament_n choose_v you_o which_o here_o the_o apostle_n clear_o proclaim_v it_o a_o sacrament_n because_o the_o conjunction_n of_o man_n and_o wife_n be_v the_o visible_a sign_n of_o that_o sacred_a conjunction_n between_o christ_n and_o his_o church_n again_o to_o the_o hebrew_n he_o say_v thus_o marriage_n be_v honourable_a in_o all_o and_o the_o bed_n undefiled_a 13.4_o heb._n 13.4_o but_o whereminger_n and_o adulterer_n god_n will_v judge_v now_o if_o there_o be_v not_o a_o divine_a and_o sacramental_a grace_n in_o marriage_n how_o can_v the_o bed_n be_v undefiled_a again_o to_o the_o corinthian_n he_o advise_v every_o one_o to_o have_v his_o own_o wise_a 7.2_o 1_o cor._n 7.2_o for_o the_o avoid_n of_o formeation_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v suppose_v that_o any_o man_n by_o the_o help_n of_o a_o wife_n only_o be_v she_o what_o she_o can_v be_v of_o virtue_n and_o beauty_n can_v be_v capable_a to_o avoid_v fornication_n without_o the_o say_v sacramental_a grace_n again_o to_o the_o thessalonian_o thus_o 1._o 1_o thes_n 1._o let_v every_o one_o among_o you_o know_v how_o to_o possess_v his_o vessel_n in_o sanctification_n and_o honour_n now_o sanctification_n we_o know_v can_v be_v without_o divine_a grace_n then_o he_o tell_v timethy_a that_o a_o woman_n shall_v be_v save_v by_o childbearing_n if_o she_o remain_v in_o say_v and_o love_n now_o to_o beget_v child_n without_o the_o grace_n of_o this_o sacrament_n will_v be_v more_o probable_o occasion_n of_o damnation_n than_o salvation_n then_o again_o to_o the_o corinthian_n he_o say_v 14_o 1_o cor._n 7.12_o 13_o 14_o if_o any_o brother_n have_v a_o wife_n that_o believe_v not_o and_o she_o be_v please_v to_o dwell_v with_o he_o let_v he_o not_o put_v she_o away_o and_o the_o woman_n which_o have_v a_o busband_n that_o believe_v not_o and_o if_o he_o be_v please_v to_o dwell_v with_o she_o let_v she_o not_o leave_v he_o for_o the_o unbelieving_a husband_n be_v sanctify_v by_o the_o wife_n and_o the_o unbelieving_a wife_n be_v sanctify_v by_o the_o husband_n else_o be_v your_o child_n unclean_a but_o now_o be_v they_o holy_a which_o must_v needs_o be_v understand_v as_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o this_o holy_a sacrament_n i_o shall_v conclude_v all_o concern_v this_o 19_o prov._n 19_o with_o what_o the_o wise_a king_n solomon_n tell_v we_o that_o a_o house_n and_o riches_n we_o have_v from_o our_o parent_n but_o a_o prudent_a wife_n be_v from_o the_o lord_n thus_o we_o must_v acknowledge_v god_n to_o be_v the_o immediate_a author_n of_o marriage_n as_o we_o say_v match_n be_v make_v in_o heaven_n and_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o this_o sacrament_n only_o to_o be_v make_v happy_a that_o extreme_a unction_n be_v a_o saeroment_n likewise_o and_o a_o visible_a sign_n of_o a_o invisible_a grace_n i_o prove_v by_o ezpress_a scripture_n thus_o we_o find_v in_o saint_n mark_v gospel_n how_o our_o saviour_n call_v unto_o he_o the_o twelve_o 13._o mark_n 6_o 7_o 8.9_o 10_o 11_o 12_o 13._o and_o begin_v to_o send_v they_o out_o by_o two_o and_o two_o and_o give_v they_o power_n over_o unclean_a spirit_n etc._n etc._n and_o after_o he_o have_v give_v they_o their_o mission_n full_o with_o order_n how_o to_o behave_v themselves_o in_o their_o business_n we_o find_v that_o they_o go_v out_o according_o and_o preach_v that_o man_n shall_v repent_v and_o they_o cast_v out_o many_o devil_n and_o then_o anoint_v with_o oil_n many_o that_o be_v sick_a and_o heal_v they_o this_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v think_v that_o they_o do_v this_o upon_o their_o own_o head_n but_o by_o their_o master_n command_n by_o who_o power_n they_o do_v those_o mighty_a work_n and_o have_v his_o command_n sure_o than_o none_o can_v deny_v but_o it_o be_v his_o institution_n then_o this_o sacrament_n be_v so_o loud_o proclaim_v by_o saint_n james_n that_o i_o admire_v how_o any_o christian_a can_v believe_v in_o scripture_n and_o doubt_v the_o other_o it_o any_o sick_a among_o you_o say_v the_o apostle_n 15._o james_n 5.14_o 15._o let_v he_o call_v for_o the_o elder_n of_o the_o church_n and_o let_v they_o pray_v over_o he_o anoint_v he_o with_o oil_n in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o

accompany_v it_o that_o be_v to_o say_v remission_n of_o sin_n thus_o you_o may_v clear_o see_v how_o extreme_a unction_n be_v a_o sacrament_n of_o our_o saviour_n own_o institution_n or_o at_o least_o plain_o imply_v to_o have_v be_v institute_v by_o he_o and_o that_o by_o the_o action_n of_o the_o twelve_o apostle_n before_o his_o face_n whilst_o he_o be_v upon_o earth_n and_o at_o large_a declare_v to_o be_v so_o by_o the_o express_a word_n of_o one_o of_o the_o twelve_o that_o be_v saint_n james_n over_o and_o above_o this_o we_o have_v the_o universal_a tradition_n of_o the_o

our_o saviour_n himself_o his_o apostle_n and_o evangelist_n have_v be_v silent_a in_o it_o the_o truth_n be_v that_o the_o evangelist_n be_v to_o write_v in_o short_a for_o if_o they_o have_v write_v at_o large_a the_o whole_a world_n have_v not_o be_v able_a to_o contain_v the_o book_n that_o may_v have_v be_v write_v as_o saint_n john_n tell_v we_o of_o the_o act_n and_o word_n of_o our_o

they_o do_v not_o so_o much_o as_o insist_v upon_o because_o they_o be_v not_o of_o absolute_a necessity_n to_o salvation_n though_o they_o be_v very_o great_a expedient_n towards_o it_o the_o one_o to_o confirm_v we_o in_o grace_n after_o baptism_n the_o other_o to_o remove_v the_o relic_n of_o sin_n after_o a_o hearty_a repentance_n and_o it_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o the_o learned_a in_o
