&_o blasphemous_o master_n cartwright_n distinguise_v he_o will_v have_v a_o dead_a christ_n or_o a_o idol_n christ_n to_o be_v the_o life_n of_o the_o church_n for_o he_o will_v join_v the_o church_n to_o christ_n without_o the_o discipline_n and_o government_n of_o christ._n he_o put_v asunder_o the_o church_n and_o the_o discipline_n of_o christ_n and_o so_o must_v ●eedes_n sunder_v christ_n from_o his_o own_o discipline_n or_o government_n now_o paul_n call_v this_o discipline_n 4._o the_o power_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n so_o if_o we_o sever_v christ_n and_o his_o power_n what_o be_v he_o but_o a_o dead_a christ_n also_o by_o his_o discipline_n and_o government_n he_o have_v over_o we_o he_o be_v our_o king_n as_o again_o it_o be_v write_v 8._o the_o sceptre_n of_o thy_o kingdom_n be_v a_o sceptre_n of_o righteousness_n 7._o so_o if_o we_o sever_v christ_n and_o his_o discipline_n rule_n and_o government_n what_o be_v he_o but_o a_o idol_n christ_n if_o master_n cartwright_n say_v that_o by_o the_o sceptre_n there_o be_v mean_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o power_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n i_o grant_v it_o as_o paul_n say_v i_o will_v know_v not_o the_o speech_n or_o word_n of_o these_o man_n 19_o but_o the_o power_n for_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n be_v not_o in_o word_n but_o in_o power_n say_v he_o and_o in_o the_o psalm_n the_o lord_n shall_v send_v the_o rod_n of_o this_o power_n out_o of_o zion_n and_o the_o weapon_n of_o our_o warrefare_n be_v mighty_a through_o god_n as_o again_o he_o write_v so_o than_o if_o the_o power_n of_o the_o

of_o christ_n what_o remain_v but_o a_o idol_n or_o counterfeit_a christ_n a_o idol_n or_o counterfeit_a church_n thus_o while_o m_o c._n will_v have_v faith_n in_o christ_n to_o be_v the_o life_n of_o the_o church_n without_o discipline_n he_o do_v leave_n christ_n himself_o without_o life_n &_o as_o one_o that_o be_v dead_a or_o turn_v into_o a_o idol_n yet_o further_o he_o proceed_v in_o

the_o church_n how_o corrupt_a doctrine_n this_o be_v i_o need_v not_o here_o stand_v on_o it_o if_o he_o say_v that_o by_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o parent_n they_o have_v life_n &_o essence_n in_o

shall_v he_o be_v of_o god_n if_o he_o say_v a_o thing_n may_v be_v lawful_a before_o man_n which_o before_o god_n be_v not_o so_o and_o therefore_o that_o man_n may_v take_v it_o as_o lawful_a before_o god_n let_v he_o remember_v himself_o that_o he_o speak_v of_o unlawful_a minister_n even_o before_o man_n yea_o who_o he_o himself_o know_v and_o call_v unlawful_a 14._o so_o that_o be_v

of_o the_o blind_a and_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o their_o guide_n and_o ministry_n 33._o for_o christ_n do_v gather_v his_o disciple_n apart_o from_o the_o pharisee_n disciple_n 18._o so_o that_o the_o pharisee_n be_v to_o have_v no_o charge_n 25._o nor_o oversight_n on_o christ_n disciple_n 28._o this_o appear_v in_o u●ry_a many_o place_n of_o the_o evangelist_n again_o he_o

wherewith_o master_n cartwright_n will_v delude_v we_o 16._o further_n he_o distinguish_v that_o to_o the_o dumb_a minister_n themselves_o their_o ministry_n be_v a_o matter_n of_o destruction_n 49._o but_o to_o the_o church_n it_o be_v he_o can_v not_o tell_v what_o good_a thing_n or_o gracious_a benefit_n from_o christ._n we_o show_v before_o that_o they_o do_v good_a to_o other_o like_o those_o
