most_o joyful_o and_o thankful_o receive_v the_o glad_a tiding_n of_o liberty_n that_o we_o may_v beware_v by_o the_o punishment_n of_o jerusalem_n to_o refuse_v freedom_n offer_v lest_o we_o be_v chru_v into_o perpetual_a bondage_n no_o city_n nor_o people_n in_o the_o world_n have_v great_a privilege_n of_o honour_n than_o the_o city_n and_o people_n of_o jerusalem_n and_o yet_o we_o see_v now_o how_o just_o jerusalem_n be_v turn_v into_o sinai_n freedom_n into_o bondage_n glory_n into_o shame_n that_o we_o shall_v not_o stand_v upon_o any_o prerogative_n or_o privilege_n as_o though_o any_o thing_n can_v exempt_v we_o from_o the_o severity_n of_o god_n judgement_n if_o we_o reject_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n when_o it_o be_v free_o offer_v if_o jerusalem_n escape_v not_o punishment_n for_o all_o her_o dignity_n what_o shall_v become_v of_o sodom_n or_o babylon_n which_o have_v no_o prerogative_n of_o dignity_n if_o they_o be_v call_v to_o liberty_n do_v still_o continue_v in_o bondage_n and_o here_o we_o have_v a_o example_n whereby_o to_o shape_v the_o papist_n a_o answer_n for_o all_o that_o they_o can_v bring_v to_o commend_v the_o dignity_n of_o their_o church_n of_o rome_n for_o the_o present_a time_n or_o that_o have_v be_v these_o many_o hundred_o year_n they_o can_v speak_v little_a good_a of_o she_o if_o they_o will_v speak_v the_o truth_n that_o all_o man_n do_v see_v with_o their_o eye_n in_o this_o age_n or_o may_v read_v in_o story_n of_o the_o former_a age_n write_v by_o their_o own_o register_n but_o they_o have_v a_o great_a glory_n to_o bring_v forth_o the_o ancient_a commendation_n of_o faith_n which_o the_o scripture_n and_o old_a doctor_n do_v ascribe_v unto_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n the_o godly_a conversation_n of_o the_o anrient_a christian_a roman_n the_o multitude_n of_o constant_a martyr_n which_o that_o church_n do_v yield_v in_o the_o space_n of_o two_o or_o three_o hundred_o year_n but_o all_o in_o vain_a yea_o all_o to_o their_o great_a shame_n except_o they_o can_v prove_v the_o same_o faith_n conversation_n and_o christian_a constancy_n to_o remain_v now_o in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n that_o be_v in_o those_o golden_a day_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n s._n paul_n in_o deed_n commend_v the_o faith_n of_o the_o roman_n to_o be_v celebrate_v in_o all_o the_o world_n which_o place_n the_o papist_n think_v to_o make_v much_o for_o the_o dignity_n of_o the_o see_v of_o rome_n but_o let_v they_o show_v that_o the_o pope_n and_o his_o church_n of_o rome_n do_v now_o hold_v the_o same_o faith_n which_o s._n paul_n praise_v in_o the_o roman_n of_o his_o time_n or_o else_o it_o make_v nothing_o in_o the_o world_n for_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n now_o but_o to_o her_o shame_n and_o reproach_n which_o be_v degenerate_v from_o that_o doctrine_n of_o liberty_n which_o of_o old_a time_n be_v wont_a to_o be_v embrace_v in_o those_o place_n the_o faith_n of_o the_o roman_n of_o that_o time_n which_o s._n paul_n commend_v be_v this_o that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n without_o the_o deed_n of_o the_o law_n be_v this_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n according_a to_o the_o true_a meaning_n of_o s._n paul_n and_o the_o whole_a discourse_n of_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n do_v they_o not_o teach_v the_o contrary_a direct_o that_o a_o man_n can_v be_v justify_v by_o faith_n only_o without_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n wherefore_o see_v the_o roman_n that_o be_v now_o have_v a_o contrary_a faith_n to_o the_o roman_n of_o old_a time_n there_o be_v no_o cause_n why_o they_o shall_v claim_v the_o ancient_a praise_n which_o have_v not_o retain_v the_o ancient_a faith_n and_o forasmuch_o as_o they_o be_v fall_v from_o the_o grace_n of_o christ_n to_o seek_v righteousness_n by_o their_o own_o merit_n there_o be_v no_o reason_n why_o they_o shall_v have_v the_o commendation_n of_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o gospel_n which_o have_v submit_v themselves_o to_o to_o the_o bondage_n of_o the_o law_n and_o if_o jerusalem_n that_o be_v now_o be_v turn_v into_o agar_n and_o the_o earthly_a zion_n into_o the_o barren_a sinai_n because_o she_o have_v despise_v the_o promise_n of_o mercy_n &_o redemption_n which_o the_o ancient_a jerusalem_n and_o mount_n zion_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o godly_a parriarche_n and_o prophet_n most_o joyful_o receive_v why_o shall_v rome_n that_o be_v now_o with_o her_o seven_o hill_n appoint_v for_o the_o throne_n of_o antichryst_n enjoy_v the_o praise_n of_o the_o ancient_a roman_n and_o the_o christian_a church_n that_o sometime_o be_v a_o stranger_n in_o that_o place_n who_o now_o she_o persecute_v and_o condemn_v their_o faith_n for_o heresy_n she_o can_v be_v take_v for_o the_o heavenly_a jerusalem_n that_o profess_v the_o servile_a doctrine_n and_o religion_n of_o the_o earthly_a jerusalem_n neither_o can_v her_o child_n the_o papist_n be_v take_v for_o citizen_n of_o the_o heavenly_a jerusalem_n which_o think_v so_o great_a a_o part_n of_o religion_n to_o consist_v in_o go_v a_o pilgrimage_n to_o the_o earthly_a jerusalem_n the_o apostle_n here_o utter_o reject_v jerusalem_n that_o be_v now_o and_o thrust_v she_o out_o of_o the_o land_n of_o promise_n into_o arabia_n the_o desatte_n the_o papist_n make_v no_o account_n of_o jerusalem_n that_o be_v above_o but_o all_o their_o delight_n be_v in_o jerusalem_n that_o be_v on_o earth_n so_o they_o show_v themselves_o right_a agaren_n &_o ismaelite_n what_o a_o great_a matter_n be_v make_v in_o popery_n of_o jerusalem_n that_o be_v now_o yea_o although_o it_o be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o turk_n &_o pagan_n yet_o they_o so_o esteem_v it_o that_o they_o think_v they_o shall_v have_v the_o great_a treasure_n in_o the_o world_n if_o they_o can_v get_v the_o possession_n of_o that_o city_n out_o of_o the_o pagan_n hand_n and_o for_o that_o purpose_n how_o many_o

point_n in_o religion_n be_v it_o make_v of_o the_o papist_n to_o visit_v jerusalem_n that_o be_v now_o yea_o it_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o so_o great_a importance_n that_o the_o vow_n which_o one_o have_v make_v to_o go_v on_o pilgrimage_n to_o jerusalem_n can_v be_v dispense_v withal_o by_o any_o other_o inferior_a person_n but_o even_o by_o the_o pope_n own_o holiness_n himself_o such_o a_o goodly_a matter_n it_o be_v to_o be_v a_o citizen_n of_o the_o earthly_a jerusalem_n but_o let_v the_o papist_n alone_a with_o their_o holy_a mother_n the_o earthly_a jerusalem_n mount_v sinai_n or_o
