to_o the_o palace_n of_o god_n they_o be_v to_o be_v the_o light_n to_o they_o now_o these_o twelve_o star_n be_v the_o twelve_o apostle_n and_o she_o have_v a_o crown_n of_o twelve_o star_n that_o be_v she_o be_v a_o woman_n that_o profess_a faith_n in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o twelve_o apostle_n she_o own_v those_o truth_n that_o the_o apostle_n preach_v and_o will_v receive_v no_o truth_n as_o matter_n of_o her_o faith_n but_o what_o the_o apostle_n do_v teach_v and_o by_o this_o she_o be_v to_o be_v know_v in_o the_o several_a generation_n of_o the_o world_n so_o that_o by_o this_o character_n of_o a_o woman_n with_o a_o crown_n of_o twelve_o star_n the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v give_v you_o a_o note_n by_o which_o you_o may_v find_v out_o this_o church_n those_o society_n that_o believe_v what_o they_o teach_v and_o worship_n god_n according_a to_o what_o worship_n they_o deliver_v that_o be_v the_o woman_n with_o a_o crown_n of_o twelve_o star_n but_o if_o you_o see_v any_o society_n of_o christian_n and_o you_o ●ind_v more_o star_n thans_n twelve_o a_o star_n of_o vain_a philosophy_n or_o humane_a tradition_n or_o a_o star_n of_o rudiment_n of_o the_o world_n look_v upon_o they_o as_o none_o of_o the_o star_n that_o christ_n have_v put_v in_o the_o woman_n crown_n therefore_o when_o christ_n commission_v the_o apostle_n to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n he_o give_v not_o liberty_n to_o paul_n or_o peter_n or_o any_o of_o the_o twelve_o to_o lay_v any_o commandment_n upon_o his_o church_n but_o what_o they_o have_v from_o his_o mouth_n in_o the_o last_o of_o matthew_n and_o indeed_o they_o be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o last_o word_n he_o speak_v to_o they_o vers_fw-la 19_o 20._o go_v you_o therefore_o and_o teach_v all_o nation_n baptise_v they_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n and_o of_o the_o son_n and_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n well_o what_o shall_v we_o teach_v teach_n they_o to_o observe_v all_o thing_n whatsoever_o i_o have_v command_v you_o no_o more_o no_o more_o let_v they_o believe_v than_o what_o i_o have_v deliver_v to_o you_o let_v they_o use_v such_o ordinance_n in_o worship_n as_o i_o have_v appoint_v you_o and_o no_o more_o they_o be_v not_o to_o exceed_v there_o commission_n it_o be_v as_o dangerous_a for_o they_o to_o do_v it_o as_o any_o ambassador_n to_o exceed_v the_o commission_n of_o his_o prince_n and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n when_o they_o be_v bring_v before_o the_o ruler_n and_o governor_n and_o they_o charge_v they_o to_o teach_v no_o more_o in_o the_o name_n of_o this_o jesus_n say_v we_o can_v but_o speak_v the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v see_v and_o hear_v how_o can_v we_o choose_v but_o teach_v the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v see_v christ_n do_v and_o reveal_v the_o miracle_n that_o we_o see_v wrought_v and_o how_o can_v we_o choose_v but_o preach_v the_o doctrine_n that_o we_o receive_v from_o his_o mouth_n they_o do_v not_o say_v how_o can_v we_o choose_v but_o do_v that_o which_o we_o have_v see_v invent_v by_o other_o no_o if_o they_o have_v teach_v any_o thing_n else_o christ_n will_v not_o have_v bear_v they_o out_o and_o therefore_o in_o the_o election_n of_o a_o new_a apostle_n in_o judas_n his_o stead_n they_o make_v choice_n of_o one_o to_o bear_v witness_n of_o what_o christ_n have_v say_v and_o do_v and_o all_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n from_o that_o time_n they_o be_v to_o keep_v close_o to_o those_o doctrine_n the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o twelve_o apostle_n and_o by_o this_o they_o shall_v be_v know_v to_o be_v the_o woman_n if_o they_o still_o keep_v the_o crown_n that_o have_v but_o twelve_o star_n and_o now_o you_o may_v know_v what_o to_o think_v of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o of_o the_o turk_n and_o what_o to_o think_v of_o the_o jew_n some_o have_v not_o the_o twelve_o star_n other_o have_v as_o the_o pope_n have_v they_o but_o he_o have_v add_v other_o have_v the_o star_n of_o humane_a tradition_n of_o the_o rudiment_n of_o the_o world_n i_o give_v you_o but_o the_o general_a note_n for_o i_o will_v only_o give_v you_o rule_v in_o find_v out_o the_o church_n and_o when_o you_o have_v find_v it_o keep_v close_o to_o she_o if_o you_o will_v find_v the_o church_n ask_v what_o doctrine_n she_o hold_v and_o whether_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n add_v not_o one_o star_n add_v but_o keep_v close_o to_o the_o crown_n that_o have_v just_a twelve_o star_n in_o it_o now_o let_v we_o come_v downward_o and_o she_o be_v clothe_v with_o the_o sun_n and_o you_o see_v the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v pick_v out_o the_o most_o glorious_a thing_n in_o all_o the_o heaven_n to_o resemble_v the_o beauty_n and_o loveliness_n and_o majesty_n of_o the_o church_n there_o be_v not_o any_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n to_o resemble_v the_o lustre_n and_o majesty_n and_o beauty_n of_o this_o church_n and_o therefore_o he_o go_v up_o to_o heaven_n and_o put_v a_o crown_n of_o star_n upon_o her_o head_n and_o clothe_v she_o with_o sun_n beam_n and_o she_o be_v clothe_v with_o the_o sun_n what_o must_v this_o sun_n be_v why_o in_o the_o heaven_n you_o know_v the_o sun_n be_v the_o great_a of_o light_n and_o its_o influence_n be_v most_o marvellous_a and_o there_o be_v but_o one_o sun_n why_o what_o be_v there_o in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n that_o the_o sun_n be_v most_o likely_a to_o shadow_v forth_o i_o answer_v it_o must_v be_v the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o he_o be_v compare_v to_o the_o sun_n in_o scripture_n as_o in_o mal._n 4.2_o but_o unto_o you_o that_o fear_v my_o name_n shall_v the_o sun_n of_o righteousness_n arise_v with_o heal_v in_o his_o wing_n that_o be_v christ_n jesus_n shall_v arise_v with_o heal_v in_o his_o wing_n the_o wing_n of_o the_o sunbeam_n christ_n be_v here_o compare_v to_o the_o sun_n well_o but_o how_o may_v this_o sun_n be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o clothing_n be_v there_o any_o ground_n for_o it_o why_o yes_o the_o apostle_n paul_n do_v use_v a_o expression_n wherein_o he_o hold_v christ_n as_o the_o church_n clothing_n and_o so_o put_v the_o comparison_n that_o one_o compare_v christ_n to_o the_o sun_n and_o the_o other_o where_o you_o find_v christ_n compare_v to_o the_o clothing_n of_o the_o church_n and_o then_o you_o have_v this_o truth_n to_o wit_n the_o church_n be_v clothe_v with_o the_o sun_n i.e._n with_o jesus_n christ_n nom._n 13.14_o but_o put_v you_o on_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n here_o you_o see_v plain_o the_o apostle_n do_v compare_v christ_n to_o a_o garment_n and_o do_v exhort_v the_o church_n to_o clothe_v themselves_o with_o christ_n and_o though_o christ_n do_v not_o call_v himself_o a_o garment_n yet_o he_o do_v invite_v the_o church_n to_o he_o that_o he_o may_v clothe_v she_o rev._n 3.18_o i_o
