experience_n in_o our_o own_o and_o other_o reformation_n yet_o here_o we_o must_v inquire_v too_o whether_o kingdom_n ought_v to_o ●it_v so_o loose_a in_o their_o decree_n and_o whether_o the_o conscience_n of_o nation_n or_o parliament_n be_v to_o remain_v still_o in_o such_o a_o constant_a potentiality_n to_o new_a degree_n and_o whether_o such_o a_o way_n will_v not_o keep_v a_o kingdom_n always_o totter_v and_o uncertain_a yet_o further_o whether_o the_o potentiality_n of_o acquire_v new_a degree_n of_o this_o nature_n will_v not_o bring_v such_o a_o alteration_n as_o be_v rather_o perfective_a then_o corruptive_a or_o destructive_a and_o if_o so_o whether_o these_o jealousy_n may_v not_o be_v save_v we_o see_v that_o in_o the_o body_n natural_a and_o spiritual_a there_o be_v a_o potentiality_n to_o any_o perfective_a alteration_n as_o in_o the_o air_n to_o light_v and_o in_o the_o soul_n to_o degree_n of_o illumination_n till_o they_o come_v to_o the_o statu●e_n of_o the_o fullness_n of_o christ_n the_o advancer_n out_o of_o babylon_n in_o our_o come_n out_o of_o babylon_n we_o have_v many_o fellow_n traveller_n that_o pretend_v as_o well_o to_o leave_v she_o behind_o as_o we_o and_o these_o be_v call_v heretic_n schismatic_n anabaptist_n separatist_n now_o before_o we_o be_v too_o far_o engage_v in_o this_o be_v they_o be_v such_o as_o pretend_v to_o come_v from_o the_o same_o point_n of_o advancement_n or_o set_v forth_o it_o will_v be_v well_o inquire_v how_o popery_n and_o prelacy_n come_v to_o oppose_v they_o so_o direct_o and_o their_o interest_n to_o be_v so_o inconsistent_a if_o they_o be_v all_o enemy_n to_o the_o truth_n i_o find_v christ_n maxim_n tend_v to_o another_o sense_n how_o can_v satan_n cast_v out_o satan_n 12.16_o yet_o here_o again_o i_o find_v that_o satan_n may_v appear_v as_o well_o a_o angel_n of_o light_n as_o darkness_n and_o heresy_n may_v walk_v abroad_o as_o well_o in_o white_a as_o in_o black_a and_o that_o some_o vice_n be_v as_o inconsistent_a and_o destructive_a to_o one_o another_o as_o vice_n and_o virtue_n however_o they_o pretend_v with_o we_o to_o come_v out_o of_o babylon_n so_o it_o be_v possible_a they_o may_v only_o mistake_v their_o way_n in_o their_o go_v out_o yet_o we_o must_v ask_v further_o in_o such_o case_n where_o popery_n and_o prelacy_n agree_v with_o we_o thus_o in_fw-la unotertio_fw-la as_o appear_v in_o this_o one_o experiment_n of_o call_v the_o other_o heretic_n and_o schismatic_n whether_o a_o godly_a jealousy_n may_v not_o do_v well_o for_o it_o be_v possible_a to_o cast_v out_o the_o courser_n part_n of_o popery_n and_o prelacy_n and_o yet_o hold_v it_o by_o a_o fine_a thread_n as_o it_o have_v be_v to_o this_o age_n in_o our_o partial_a reformation_n when_o at_o first_o popery_n be_v cast_v out_o only_o by_o the_o head_n and_o so_o gradual_o still_o hold_v it_o by_o some_o part_n for_o it_o be_v hard_a cast_n out_o a_o mystery_n than_o every_o one_o conjecture_n at_o the_o first_o sight_n 5_o for_o popery_n be_v a_o mystery_n in_o the_o spirit_n sense_n have_v something_o more_o than_o a_o visible_a train_n of_o hierarchy_n court_n and_o

etc._n etc._n now_o it_o will_v be_v inquire_v what_o interest_n or_o remainder_n these_o may_v have_v leave_v behind_o for_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o popery_n to_o leave_v such_o root_n and_o stump_n in_o the_o ground_n where_o it_o have_v plant_v so_o deep_o and_o to_o work_v again_o upon_o these_o hide_a and_o occult_a disposition_n for_o the_o man_n of_o sin_n rise_v by_o such_o

we_o have_v see_v be_v easy_o obtain_v when_o the_o man_n of_o sin_n have_v such_o invisible_a interest_n and_o agent_n lay_v in_o to_o work_v by_o nor_o ●as_v the_o grosser_n or_o more_o visible_a

so_o now_o these_o and_o such_o like_a will_v be_v inquire_v into_o further_a and_o our_o ministry_n may_v do_v well_o a_o little_a more_o than_o they_o do_v to_o set_v upon_o this_o part_n of_o
