cause_n for_o man_n to_o depart_v from_o his_o baptism_n preaching_n ministration_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n etc._n etc._n but_o if_o he_o alter_v not_o nor_o change_v the_o institution_n and_o

will_v ryght_o and_o true_o discern_v these_o two_o church_n he_o may_v not_o only_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o the_o ministry_n for_o the_o false_a church_n also_o may_v have_v the_o ministry_n and_o yet_o be_v it_o not_o the_o true_a church_n as_o the_o false_a church_n in_o like_a manner_n usurpethe_v the_o name_n of_o god_n and_o glori_v of_o it_o but_o we_o may_v not_o therefore_o believe_v it_o 5._o for_o the_o three_o commandment_n chargethe_v we_o that_o we_o take_v not_o the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o vain_a and_o where_o as_o we_o ask_v in_o the_o first_o petition_n of_o the_o lord_n

the_o false_a church_n under_o the_o name_n of_o god_n and_o of_o the_o church_n curse_v and_o condemn_v thou_o it_o be_v nothing_o to_o the_o purpose_n fear_v neither_o nede_a thou_o fear_v any_o thing_n at_o all_o their_o curse_n and_o condemnation_n but_o straight_a way_n make_v thou_o a_o difference_n between_o the_o true_a and_o false_a church_n and_o say_v i_o hear_v well_o the_o name_n of_o god_n and_o of_o the_o church_n but_o the_o ungodly_a also_o can_v and_o do_v usurp_v that_o for_o except_o it_o be_v so_o we_o shall_v have_v no_o need_n of_o this_o commandment_n that_o we_o shall_v not_o take_v the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o vain_a wherefore_o we_o must_v first_o of_o all_o consider_v this_o whither_o they_o use_v the_o name_n of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o church_n aright_o or_o not_o and_o unto_o this_o matter_n do_v the_o rule_n great_o help_v which_o christ_n prescribe_v in_o this_o place_n know_v when_o he_o in_o the_o right_a colour_n point_v and_o set_v forth_o the_o false_a church_n for_o the_o true_a church_n doothe_v not_o usurp_v the_o power_n of_o the_o swearde_n and_o of_o temporal_a punyshement_n but_o the_o false_a church_n challenge_v this_o power_n and_o most_o cruel_o persecute_v the_o true_a church_n as_o christ_n prophesy_v before_o that_o it_o shall_v come_v to_o pass_v by_o this_o may_v thou_o well_o know_v which_o be_v the_o fall_v church_n but_o yet_o this_o be_v a_o more_o certain_a argument_n that_o christ_n say_v these_o thing_n shall_v they_o do_v to_o you_o because_o they_o neither_o know_v i_o nor_o my_o father_n here_o be_v also_o the_o false_a church_n paint_v and_o set_v forth_o in_o her_o right_a colour_n with_o her_o ordinary_a power_n they_o may_v cloak_v their_o matter_n with_o the_o name_n of_o god_n and_o of_o the_o church_n and_o so_o blear_v the_o eye_n of_o the_o unwyse_a and_o simple_a as_o their_o manner_n be_v to_o do_v but_o yet_o for_o all_o their_o fair_a show_n and_o glorious_a pretence_n christ_n say_v that_o they_o neither_o know_v he_o nor_o his_o father_n but_o what_o be_v it_o to_o know_v christ_n and_o his_o father_n it_o be_v not_o to_o say_v mass_n god_n to_o be_v shave_v in_o

we_o for_o his_o son_n christ_n jesus_n sake_n and_o this_o be_v to_o know_v the_o father_n father_z to_o be_v thorough_o persuade_v that_o he_o for_o his_o son_n christ_n sake_n will_v have_v mercy_n on_o we_o and_o not_o impute_v our_o sin_n unto_o we_o but_o frank_o &_o free_o forgeve_v they_o for_o christ_n sake_n where_o this_o knowledge_n be_v there_o be_v the_o true_a church_n but_o where_o this_o knowledge_n be_v not_o there_o be_v not_o the_o true_a church_n although_o the_o ministry_n and_o the_o name_n of_o god_n be_v there_o therefore_o we_o must_v have_v respect_n to_o this_o

they_o can_v not_o tell_v to_o what_o part_n they_o shall_v join_v themselves_o but_o in_o this_o they_o fail_v and_o do_v not_o their_o duty_n in_o that_o they_o will_v not_o consider_v this_o rule_n this_o be_v our_o doctrine_n that_o before_o god_n nothing_o can_v prevail_v against_o sin_n and_o death_n church_n but_o the_o alone_a death_n and_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n &_o that_o who_o soever_o do_v true_o believe_v this_o be_v save_v but_o whosoever_o beleve_v not_o this_o what_o soever_o work_v he_o do_v besides_o he_o can_v not_o be_v save_v now_o what_o foundation_n confirmation_n and_o probation_n we_o have_v for_o this_o our_o doctrine_n the_o scripture_n both_o of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_fw-mi do_v abundant_o declare_v and_o it_o have_v be_v set_v forth_o afore_o unto_o you_o many_o time_n but_o what_o have_v follow_v church_n for_o this_o doctrine_n the_o pope_n and_o his_o church_n most_o cruel_o persecute_v we_o excommunicate_v pronounce_v and_o kill_v we_o as_o heretic_n for_o this_o be_v his_o doctrine_n who_o soever_o look_v to_o be_v save_v he_o himself_o must_v make_v satisfaction_n for_o his_o own_o sin_n christ_n say_v he_o satisfy_v only_o for_o original_a sin_n what_o soever_o we_o offend_v after_o baptism_n that_o must_v every_o man_n make_v amends_n for_o and_o with_o his_o good_a work_n recompense_v the_o same_o and_o so_o pacify_v the_o wrath_n of_o god._n but_o how_o agree_v this_o doctrine_n with_o the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n for_o this_o be_v a_o good_a consequence_n if_o christ_n have_v satisfy_v for_o our_o sin_n then_o be_v not_o we_o able_a to_o make_v satisfaction_n for_o they_o good_a work_n be_v not_o to_o be_v leave_v undo_v but_o we_o must_v do_v they_o for_o a_o other_o purpose_n then_o to_o make_v satisfaction_n for_o our_o sin_n and_o to_o deserve_v everlasting_a life_n by_o they_o work_n even_o to_o show_v our_o obedience_n to_o god_n and_o to_o his_o holy_a comaundemente_n to_o set_v forth_o the_o glory_n of_o our_o heavenly_a father_n to_o stop_v the_o mouth_n of_o the_o adversary_n to_o declare_v our_o faith_n in_o christ_n not_o to_o be_v vain_a idle_a or_o dead_a to_o mortify_v old_a adam_n to_o profit_v our_o neighbour_n to_o win_v other_o unto_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n etc._n etc._n thus_o see_v you_o by_o this_o rule_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v the_o right_a and_o true_a church_n but_o notwithstanding_o we_o be_v cast_v out_o of_o the_o synagoge_n and_o excommunicate_v of_o the_o pope_n and_o his_o sect_n because_o we_o repose_v and_o set_v our_o righteousness_n and_o acceptation_n before_o god_n in_o christ_n in_o his_o death_n and_o resurrection_n now_o where_o as_o the_o the_o pope_n and_o his_o church_n challenge_v unto_o they_o salvation_n by_o their_o own_o work_n merit_n and_o satisfaction_n it_o be_v a_o evidente_a argument_n that_o they_o neither_o know_v christ_n nor_o the_o father_n forasmuch_o as_o we_o be_v well_o assure_v and_o certain_a that_o we_o know_v christ_n aright_o and_o the_o papist_n know_v not_o christ_n it_o ought_v not_o to_o trouble_v or_o move_v we_o any_o thing_n at_o all_o although_o such_o a_o church_n as_o neither_o know_v christ_n nor_o the_o father_n do_v excommunicate_v we_o and_o pronounce_v we_o heretic_n and_o the_o church_n of_o the_o devil_n let_v this_o rather_o comfort_n we_o that_o we_o know_v the_o son_n and_o the_o father_n and_o nothing_o at_o all_o care_n that_o the_o pope_n do_v so_o great_o avance_v &_o set_v forth_o himself_o against_o we_o with_o the_o name_n of_o the_o church_n when_o in_o deed_n his_o church_n be_v nothing_o else_o then_o the_o very_a synagoge_n of_o satan_n let_v we_o in_o the_o mean_a season_n look_v for_o a_o other_o judgement_n 2._o
