fashion_a phrase_n that_o we_o as_o protestant_n be_v guilty_a of_o sin_n inconsistent_a with_o salvation_n inasmuch_o as_o we_o be_v separate_v from_o your_o communion_n the_o short_a of_o what_o you_o say_v be_v that_o after_o most_o serious_a consideration_n and_o the_o weigh_v of_o all_o reason_n the_o papist_n believe_v the_o roman_a church_n in_o which_o he_o be_v to_o be_v that_o one_o only_o holy_a catholic_n church_n and_o therefore_o he_o do_v not_o question_n but_o what_o be_v true_o affirm_v of_o the_o church_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o succeed_a age_n and_o those_o that_o fall_v from_o it_o be_v most_o true_a of_o the_o same_o church_n now_o in_o be_v of_o which_o he_o be_v a_o member_n and_o of_o all_o those_o who_o separate_v from_o it_o upon_o what_o pretext_n soever_o now_o it_o have_v be_v much_o more_o to_o the_o purpose_n to_o have_v produce_v those_o serious_a consideration_n than_o to_o have_v spend_v so_o much_o time_n as_o you_o do_v to_o prove_v what_o none_o of_o we_o make_v the_o least_o question_n of_o viz._n that_o christ_n establish_v a_o catholic_n church_n that_o he_o commit_v the_o care_n of_o it_o to_o the_o apostle_n that_o they_o be_v inspire_v with_o the_o knowledge_n of_o truth_n that_o they_o leave_v pastor_n to_o govern_v and_o feed_v the_o flock_n after_o their_o decease_n and_o that_o the_o promise_n of_o salvation_n be_v make_v to_o believer_n exclusive_o to_o unbeliever_n this_o i_o say_v be_v all_o very_a true_a but_o not_o to_o your_o purpose_n unless_o you_o have_v prove_v also_o what_o you_o do_v but_o insinuate_v that_o we_o have_v separate_v ourselves_o from_o the_o doctrine_n and_o government_n of_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n which_o word_n i_o wonder_v that_o you_o be_v not_o afraid_a to_o use_v when_o they_o lie_v so_o fair_a to_o be_v turn_v upon_o yourselves_o for_o we_o be_v no_o less_o sure_a that_o many_o of_o your_o doctrine_n be_v no_o part_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o that_o church_n and_o that_o rome_n be_v the_o mother_n and_o mistress_n of_o all_o church_n be_v not_o the_o government_n of_o that_o church_n over_o which_o the_o apostle_n be_v etc._n etc._n overseer_n for_o their_o time_n than_o we_o be_v that_o such_o a_o church_n be_v establish_v in_o the_o world._n and_o therefore_o if_o they_o who_o separate_v themselves_o from_o the_o doctrine_n and_o government_n of_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n as_o it_o be_v first_o establish_v can_v hope_v for_o salvation_n pray_v look_v to_o yourselves_o as_o to_o that_o point_n instead_o of_o contend_v that_o you_o be_v the_o only_a catholic_n church_n out_o of_o which_o there_o be_v no_o hope_n of_o salvation_n as_o to_o what_o you_o will_v insinuate_v that_o there_o must_v be_v in_o the_o church_n a_o succession_n of_o pastor_n to_o the_o world_n end_n who_o shall_v no_o more_o err_v in_o teach_v than_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o do_v and_o that_o your_o church_n have_v that_o succession_n i_o must_v tell_v you_o as_o to_o the_o first_o that_o it_o be_v by_o no_o mean_n prove_v from_o john_n 14._o v._o 16._o since_o what_o be_v there_o promise_v to_o the_o apostle_n be_v not_o promise_v to_o the_o church_n of_o all_o age_n so_o as_o it_o be_v to_o the_o apostle_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n abode_n with_o the_o apostle_n for_o ever_o that_o be_v so_o long_o as_o they_o live_v to_o guide_v they_o into_o the_o knowledge_n of_o truth_n and_o by_o they_o to_o guide_v the_o church_n in_o all_o after-age_n there_o be_v many_o thing_n in_o this_o discourse_n of_o our_o saviour_n to_o his_o apostle_n which_o can_v be_v apply_v to_o any_o age_n of_o the_o church_n after_o they_o and_o therefore_o what_o be_v and_o what_o be_v not_o limit_v to_o they_o must_v be_v argue_v out_o from_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n themselves_o which_o be_v say_v and_o last_o though_o you_o will_v not_o have_v this_o promise_v limit_v to_o the_o person_n of_o the_o apostle_n but_o annex_v to_o their_o function_n as_o in_o some_o sense_n i_o grant_v it_o may_v be_v yet_o you_o ought_v to_o have_v take_v notice_n that_o the_o promise_n be_v however_o limit_v by_o a_o condition_n even_o in_o the_o word_n forego_v and_o follow_v the_o promise_n if_o you_o love_v i_o keep_v my_o commandment_n and_o there_o the_o condition_n be_v once_o express_v for_o it_o follow_v and_o i_o will_v pray_v the_o father_n and_o he_o shall_v give_v you_o another_o comforter_n that_o he_o may_v abide_v with_o you_o for_o ever_o even_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n and_o now_o mark_v once_o again_o what_o follow_v who_o the_o world_n can_v receive_v because_o it_o see_v he_o not_o neither_o know_v he_o where_o if_o by_o the_o world_n be_v mean_v worldly_a and_o wicked_a man_n as_o i_o believe_v you_o will_v grant_v you_o see_v here_o be_v no_o absolute_a promise_n of_o such_o a_o guidance_n to_o a_o succession_n of_o pastor_n as_o shall_v make_v it_o at_o any_o time_n of_o the_o church_n heresy_n to_o contradict_v whatsoever_o they_o teach_v or_o schism_n to_o withdraw_v from_o their_o obedience_n as_o to_o the_o last_o if_o you_o have_v prove_v such_o a_o succession_n of_o
