fall_n of_o mankind_n by_o the_o merciful_a voice_n of_o god_n have_v and_o will_v unto_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n consent_v together_o in_o the_o profession_n of_o his_o true_a worship_n 4_o now_o in_o asmuch_o as_o all_o those_o who_o have_v give_v their_o name_n to_o be_v of_o this_o meeting_n have_v not_o either_o do_v the_o same_o unfainedlie_o or_o show_v that_o constancy_n that_o have_v be_v meet_a by_o reason_n that_o satan_n never_o cease_v to_o sow_v tare_n in_o the_o field_n of_o the_o lord_n hence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o man_n have_v be_v always_o enforce_v to_o

those_o who_o profess_v true_a religion_n whether_o they_o do_v it_o unfainedlie_o and_o persevere_v therein_o or_o hypocriticallie_o and_o fall_v away_o from_o the_o same_o in_o special_a it_o be_v take_v for_o all_o those_o only_a who_o god_n of_o his_o infinite_a mercy_n have_v elect_v before_o all_o world_n do_v effectual_o call_v when_o he_o think_v good_a in_o such_o sort_n as_o they_o be_v endue_v with_o true_a faith_n and_o persevere_v unto_o the_o end_n may_v be_v just_o account_v to_o be_v of_o god_n flock_n 6_o hence_o spring_v that_o distinction_n of_o the_o visible_a and_o

hypocrite_n of_o the_o invisible_a which_o be_v restrain_v unto_o those_o only_a who_o true_o and_o constant_o believe_v to_o the_o end_n &_o therefore_o call_v invisible_a because_o true_a faith_n can_v assure_o be_v discern_v by_o none_o save_v by_o the_o lord_n and_o they_o in_o who_o it_o be_v 7_o this_o invisible_a church_n be_v only_o one_o as_o there_o be_v but_o one_o god_n the_o

one_o body_n out_o of_o all_o sort_n of_o man_n and_o people_n as_o it_o seem_v good_a unto_o his_o mercy_n whereas_o before_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n the_o church_n be_v particular_o call_v out_o of_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o jew_n only_o 8_o and_o although_o god_n for_o many_o age_n have_v separate_v the_o gentile_n who_o the_o apostle_n therefore_o affirm_v to_o be_v without_o god_n &_o stranger_n from_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n from_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n yet_o be_v there_o almost_o no_o age_n wherein_o he_o call_v not_o some_o of_o the_o gentile_n until_o that_o the_o

special_o as_o it_o be_v visible_a or_o invisible_a be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o member_n that_o make_v up_o one_o mystical_a body_n 10_o and_o this_o be_v that_o catholic_a church_n whereof_o mention_n be_v make_v in_o the_o belief_n therefore_o call_v holy_a because_o it_o be_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n separate_v from_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o world_n and_o consecrate_v unto_o god_n 11_o this_o

and_o strive_v with_o satan_n and_o the_o remnant_n of_o their_o flesh_n by_o the_o triumphant_a be_v mean_v those_o who_o bless_a spirit_n be_v already_o gather_v unto_o the_o lord_n even_o until_o

that_o holiness_n whereby_o this_o catholic_n church_n which_o be_v also_o invisible_a in_o that_o sense_n that_o we_o have_v speak_v be_v sever_v from_o the_o world_n if_o it_o be_v consider_v in_o respect_n of_o the_o purity_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o truth_n be_v altogether_o without_o spot_n or_o wrinkle_n or_o if_o it_o be_v consider_v not_o as_o it_o be_v in_o itself_o but_o according_a unto_o the_o belief_n that_o be_v yield_v unto_o this_o true_a and_o wholesome_a doctrine_n we_o hold_v again_o that_o the_o force_n of_o that_o truth_n be_v so_o great_a that_o it_o be_v always_o declare_v and_o obey_v in_o the_o church_n universal_o consider_v wherefore_o the_o apostle_n call_v the_o church_n take_v in_o this_o sense_n the_o pillar_n and_o ground_n of_o truth_n 13_o but_o if_o the_o church_n be_v respect_v not_o universal_o but_o particular_o that_o be_v according_a as_o it_o have_v diverse_a assembly_n here_o and_o there_o gather_v together_o then_o indeed_o it_o may_v often_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o some_o particular_a church_n may_v err_v yea_o in_o some_o fundamental_a point_n either_o in_o part_n or_o in_o whole_a yet_o so_o as_o the_o elect_n do_v always_o return_v unto_o the_o way_n neither_o can_v those_o particular_a spot_v that_o cleave_v unto_o it_o for_o a_o time_n make_v the_o universal_a church_n to_o lose_v her_o natural_a beauty_n 14_o we_o confess_v to_o speak_v nothing_o here_o of_o the_o corruption_n of_o manner_n that_o this_o may_v come_v to_o pass_v much_o more_o if_o we_o several_o consider_v the_o member_n of_o particular_a church_n for_o such_o be_v the_o weakness_n of_o man_n judgement_n even_o in_o the_o dear_a saint_n of_o god_n that_o you_o can_v find_v any_o so_o endue_v with_o the_o perfect_a

spirit_n of_o error_n 15_o although_o that_o the_o catholic_a church_n can_v never_o fall_v away_o from_o the_o truth_n yet_o both_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n together_o with_o the_o holy_a story_n in_o general_a both_o before_o and_o after_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n have_v foretell_v and_o these_o very_a time_n wherein_o we_o live_v do_v testify_v that_o it_o have_v often_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o great_a part_n of_o particular_a church_n and_o man_n fall_v away_o yea_o and_o strive_v against_o the_o truth_n the_o light_n of_o the_o church_n seem_v for_o a_o time_n though_o not_o utterlie_o yet_o in_o a_o manner_n to_o be_v clean_o extinguish_v 16_o the_o true_a mark_n therefore_o of_o the_o visible_a church_n can_v not_o be_v the_o multitude_n or_o personal_a succession_n but_o the_o doctrine_n true_o teach_v out_o of_o the_o write_a word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o lawful_a administration_n that_o be_v such_o as_o be_v agreeable_a unto_o god_n ordinance_n of_o the_o sacrament_n to_o wit_n of_o baptism_n and_o of_o the_o lord_n supper_n 17_o these_o two_o note_n do_v depend_v upon_o the_o lawful_a form_n that_o be_v such_o as_o be_v prescribe_v in_o god_n word_n of_o the_o holy_a ministry_n constitute_v as_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v but_o in_o asmuch_o as_o the_o church_n sometime_o be_v bring_v to_o that_o pass_n that_o not_o only_a wolf_n do_v

justification_n of_o man_n by_o christ_n &_o open_v the_o first_o petition_n of_o the_o lord_n prayer_n we_o will_v now_o brief_o touch_v the_o same_o and_o then_o come_v to_o that_o irremissible_a

the_o misery_n of_o the_o life_n present_a and_o death_n eternal_a 4_o now_o remission_n of_o sin_n be_v the_o free_a and_o the_o most_o full_a pardon_n of_o all_o our_o sin_n obtain_v by_o christ_n apprehend_v by_o faith_n in_o the_o place_n of_o which_o sin_n succeed_v the_o imputation_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o say_v christ_n 5_o the_o fountain_n of_o the_o remission_n of_o our_o

shall_v have_v be_v subject_a unto_o change_n constant_a because_o with_o god_n be_v no_o shadow_n of_o change_n 6_o hence_o it_o appear_v that_o remission_n of_o sin_n be_v once_o bestow_v can_v never_o be_v dissanul_v for_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o the_o counsel_n of_o god_n touch_v the_o salvation_n of_o he_o shall_v be_v stable_n and_o firm_a 7_o the_o cause_n whereby_o and_o for_o the_o which_o we_o obtain_v remission_n of_o sin_n be_v the_o love_n of_o god_n towards_o man_n in_o christ_n who_o draw_v we_o from_o condemnation_n deliver_v we_o from_o the_o power_n of_o

the_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n be_v a_o most_o full_a and_o sure_a persuasion_n whereby_o every_o faithful_a man_n do_v assure_o believe_v that_o god_n the_o father_n have_v pardon_v he_o all_o his_o sin_n for_o the_o only_a sacrifice_n of_o christ_n and_o in_o their_o steed_n do_v impute_v unto_o he_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n it_o appear_v out_o of_o the_o former_a thing_n that_o the_o opinion_n concern_v the_o remission_n of_o the_o fault_n but_o not_o of_o the_o punishment_n be_v altogether_o most_o detestable_a from_o whence_o the_o doctrine_n touch_v meritorious_a

god_n wrath_n whence_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o very_a lest_o transgression_n of_o the_o law_n deserve_v death_n if_o you_o consider_v the_o nature_n of_o sin_n yet_o no_o sin_n be_v so_o heinous_a but_o it_o be_v pardonable_a in_o christ_n that_o one_o sin_n except_v which_o be_v altogether_o uncurable_a and_o irremissable_a whereof_o we_o be_v now_o to_o speak_v see_v we_o have_v already_o
