in_o divine_a thing_n and_o heavenly_a ordinance_n now_o i_o come_v to_o the_o chief_a masterpiece_n or_o goliath_n with_o his_o armour-bearer_n way_n and_o that_o be_v whether_o we_o in_o these_o

without_o they_o if_o they_o can_v hold_v and_o continue_v so_o to_o the_o end_n of_o their_o day_n and_o their_o seed_n also_o successive_o but_o those_o thing_n we_o differ_v in_o be_v such_o as_o be_v to_o maintain_v and_o preserve_v we_o in_o those_o fundamentals_n chief_o and_o without_o which_o we_o can_v long_o stand_v upon_o they_o but_o shall_v fall_v off_o and_o these_o point_n do_v

perhaps_o i_o will_v insert_v a_o few_o more_o point_n too_o and_o produce_v what_o scripture_n i_o can_v remember_v to_o clear_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o point_n and_o bring_v divers_a reason_n for_o

these_o point_n in_o order_n strict_o i_o will_v not_o promise_v content_a to_o every_o one_o etc._n and_o first_o for_o the_o church_n viz._n who_o be_v it_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v in_o strict_a

that_o be_v thus_o those_o that_o profess_v to_o be_v save_v by_o faith_n in_o christ_n jesus_n according_a to_o the_o fundamentals_n contain_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o be_v partaker_n of_o his_o ordinance_n and_o frame_v their_o life_n according_a to_o his_o commandment_n now_o herein_o we_o differ_v much_o about_o this_o latter_a part_n the_o independent_n and_o we_o presbyterial_n the_o presbyterial_n say_v that_o there_o be_v divers_a degree_n of_o sanctification_n which_o in_o some_o be_v more_o and_o in_o some_o be_v less_o yea_o so_o little_a in_o some_o as_o that_o they_o

who_o they_o have_v their_o ordination_n they_o can_v be_v the_o lawful_a preacher_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v the_o ordainer_n of_o the_o preacher_n of_o the_o gospel_n this_o objection_n be_v like_o a_o remora_n who_o turn_v his_o belly_n upward_o as_o be_v say_v open_v his_o leg_n or_o some_o such_o part_n of_o his_o body_n and_o clasp_v about_o

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 the_o fundamentals_n of_o the_o true_a gospel_n though_o he_o then_o be_v receive_v as_o the_o universal_a head_n of_o those_o that_o subject_v themselves_o unto_o he_o that_o this_o may_v appear_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 to_o the_o king_n of_o navarre_n in_o which_o you_o may_v see_v the_o canon_n of_o the_o pope_n and_o pope_n at_o first_o and_o also_o those_o that_o have_v be_v make_v by_o succeed_a pope_n since_o until_o that_o time_n and_o there_o you_o may_v observe_v that_o those_o canon_n that_o be_v make_v by_o the_o former_a pope_n be_v so_o much_o different_a from_o those_o that_o have_v be_v make_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 with_o we_o and_o walk_v together_o to_o heaven_n although_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n in_o he_o to_o assume_v that_o universal_a stile_n and_o power_n but_o second_o put_v case_n it_o have_v be_v so_o yet_o this_o make_v little_a for_o you_o for_o if_o they_o see_v the_o evil_a that_o he_o persist_v in_o and_o yet_o themselves_o hold_v the_o fundamental_a truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n though_o perhaps_o taint_v in_o some_o particular_n and_o so_o part_n from_o he_o to_o hold_v to_o christ_n what_o be_v or_o may_v be_v object_v against_o they_o for_o their_o so_o do_v shall_v we_o
