safety_n therein_o decipher_v unto_o we_o the_o benefit_n of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n namely_o that_o it_o be_v the_o place_n both_o of_o refresh_v and_o protection_n that_o wherein_o we_o receive_v ease_n to_o our_o mind_n and_o supply_v to_o our_o want_n and_o protection_n from_o danger_n and_o injury_n second_o howsoever_o the_o curse_a posterity_n of_o cham_n and_o canaan_n be_v

also_o upon_o every_o sudden_a occasion_n and_o especial_o use_v in_o military_a affair_n do_v therein_o shadow_v out_o unto_o we_o three_o other_o condition_n of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n in_o this_o life_n namely_o 1._o that_o it_o be_v imperfect_a 2._o and_o subject_n to_o many_o infirmity_n 3._o imperfect_a that_o it_o be_v militant_a here_o on_o earth_n as_o be_v to_o fight_v the_o

which_o be_v above_o not_o make_v with_o hand_n but_o eternal_a in_o the_o heaven_n 5._o last_o in_o that_o the_o church_n be_v here_o say_a to_o lie_v in_o tent_n which_o be_v to_o be_v remove_v from_o one_o part_n to_o another_o and_o thereby_o to_o be_v pitch_v in_o whatsoever_o place_n convenient_a do_v not_o this_o also_o point_n out_o unto_o we_o two_o other_o condition_n of_o the_o church_n militant_a in_o this_o life_n namely_o that_o she_o be_v not_o tie_v local_o to_o any_o certain_a 21._o place_n but_o remooveable_a for_o the_o contempt_n of_o the_o gospel_n from_o one_o

accept_v of_o he_o thus_o by_o this_o 6._o metaphor_n of_o tent_n be_v we_o lead_v to_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o true_a condition_n of_o the_o visible_a church_n in_o this_o life_n last_o that_o we_o may_v also_o know_v who_o be_v the_o true_a member_n of_o this_o church_n the_o holy_a ghost_n point_v out_o these_o unto_o we_o when_o h●e_v say_v that_o he_o may_v dwell_v in_o the_o
