first_o you_o can_v prove_v that_o if_o in_o case_n they_o have_v their_o ordination_n from_o the_o pope_n the_o pope_n at_o first_o be_v absolute_o a_o idolater_n but_o that_o he_o then_o hold_v

a_o truth_n to_o you_o i_o pray_v you_o take_v a_o view_n of_o a_o book_n call_v the_o apology_n of_o the_o protestant_n write_v about_o the_o time_n of_o the_o massacre_n in_o france_n dedicate_v

since_o as_o that_o if_o he_o will_v hold_v himself_o to_o those_o first_o canon_n of_o those_o first_o pope_n he_o must_v then_o renounce_v his_o antichristianity_n and_o idolatry_n and_o so_o join_v

they_o do_v much_o contend_v with_o each_o other_o as_o in_o the_o 11_o verse_n you_o may_v see_v and_o therefore_o they_o be_v partial_a in_o respect_v and_o affect_v of_o their_o teacher_n without_o

if_o they_o stay_v there_o still_o many_o of_o they_o may_v starve_v and_o hunger_n you_o know_v be_v a_o sharp_a sauce_n sure_o they_o must_v leave_v the_o rest_n of_o the_o flock_n and_o then_o that_o remnant_n of_o the_o flock_n must_v starve_v for_o want_v of_o spiritual_a food_n and_o this_o will_v occasion_v they_o to_o be_v more_o wicked_a to_o the_o dishonour_n of_o god_n and_o their_o

discern_v it_o but_o look_v wishful_o upon_o it_o i_o discern_v it_o to_o be_v anagrammatticall_a and_o then_o i_o know_v how_o to_o read_v it_o and_o the_o word_n be_v as_o i_o have_v put_v the_o letter_n in_o their_o due_a place_n covetousness_n as_o for_o his_o head_n i_o do_v read_v present_o what_o that_o do_v portend_v or_o foreshow_v i_o know_v there_o must_v be_v subtlety_n i_o bethink_v myself_o of_o this_o mystery_n and_o thus_o interpret_v it_o summary_o this_o monster_n heart_n who_o name_n be_v covetousness_n in_o the_o mystery_n do_v employ_v his_o fox_n head_n to_o prevent_v this_o fair_a accommodation_n of_o the_o church_n which_o i_o be_o now_o work_v with_o my_o pen_n and_o i_o think_v he_o present_v to_o i_o a_o objection_n to_o prevent_v my_o divert_n of_o he_o of_o his_o ungodly_a and_o kingdom-destroying_a gain_n church_n and_o that_o be_v this_o as_o follow_v viz._n you_o can_v prove_v that_o there_o be_v any_o promise_n that_o a_o national_a church_n be_v to_o be_v anywhere_o at_o least_o not_o now_o under_o the_o gospel_n upon_o this_o i_o think_v i_o soon_o understand_v his_o head_n and_o the_o anagram_n of_o his_o heart_n also_o and_o then_o i_o compare_v they_o together_o and_o easy_o and_o true_o know_v he_o to_o be_v one_o of_o baalzebub_n crew_n and_o from_o that_o conclusion_n i_o quick_o draw_v another_o and_o that_o be_v this_o he_o that_o be_v this_o monster_n under_o pretence_n of_o a_o more_o purify_v church_n which_o i_o wish_v also_o but_o with_o a_o true_a heart_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n will_v in_o plead_v against_o a_o national_a church_n overthrow_n parochial_a church_n otherwise_o he_o can_v never_o have_v hope_n to_o obtain_v his_o desire_n then_o i_o bethink_v of_o what_o i_o have_v before_o conclude_v concerning_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n what_o it_o do_v consist_v of_o in_o the_o large_a sense_n and_o that_o be_v this_o those_o that_o make_v a_o open_a profession_n of_o faith_n to_o be_v save_v by_o the_o merit_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o declare_v it_o in_o the_o partake_n of_o his_o ordinance_n and_o frame_v their_o life_n according_o viz._n do_v not_o habitual_o act_v capital_a sin_n though_o it_o may_v sometime_o fall_v out_o through_o more_o than_o ordinary_a temptation_n they_o be_v as_o it_o be_v overtake_v now_o and_o then_o as_o david_n be_v sometime_o one_o way_n and_o other_o some_o another_o way_n these_o we_o be_v to_o esteem_v the_o church_n of_o god_n although_o perhaps_o they_o may_v not_o have_v grace_n in_o their_o heart_n nor_o yet_o be_v save_v but_o this_o be_v the_o rule_n that_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v guide_v by_o to_o esteem_v of_o a_o suppose_a member_n of_o christ_n mystical_a body_n until_o he_o declare_v the_o contrary_a by_o wicked_a word_n or_o more_o sinful_a deed_n for_o secret_a thing_n do_v belong_v to_o god_n only_o and_o the_o strict_a knowledge_n of_o the_o heart_n be_v one_o of_o those_o secret_n thus_o when_o i_o have_v note_v again_o this_o point_n i_o then_o think_v and_o be_v full_o satisfy_v that_o christ_n have_v more_o member_n among_o we_o in_o most_o parish_n than_o this_o monster_n do_v pretend_v although_o by_o reason_n he_o have_v much_o hinder_v the_o settle_n of_o the_o government_n of_o the_o church_n with_o we_o in_o the_o presbyterial_a way_n or_o at_o least_o very_a near_o that_o way_n many_o for_o want_n of_o a_o good_a discipline_n and_o law_n to_o restrain_v vice_n be_v lame_a in_o their_o practice_n of_o godliness_n etc._n etc._n i_o then_o adventure_v as_o a_o lion_n methinks_v to_o encounter_v this_o monster_n and_o i_o take_v the_o way_n which_o my_o saviour_n do_v in_o
