unto_o he_o in_o the_o eight_o verse_n o_o eternal_a we_o wait_v for_o thou_o in_o the_o way_n of_o thy_o judgement_n now_o the_o foundation_n of_o this_o comfort_n and_o consolation_n consist_v in_o two_o point_n both_o of_o they_o ground_v upon_o the_o singular_a mercy_n of_o god_n the_o first_o be_v that_o the_o lord_n never_o suffer_v the_o ground_n article_n and_o point_n of_o true_a religion_n to_o be_v abolish_v in_o his_o church_n though_o they_o be_v in_o diverse_a sort_n both_o within_o and_o without_o disguise_v and_o bastardize_a and_o that_o sometime_o this_o truth_n

jerusalem_n itself_o then_o when_o the_o lord_n come_v in_o person_n the_o other_o point_n be_v that_o the_o lord_n consider_v not_o his_o church_n simple_o according_a unto_o his_o grace_n and_o blessing_n which_o shine_v in_o she_o which_o be_v sometime_o most_o dark_a and_o obscure_a in_o the_o eye_n of_o man_n but_o respect_v she_o always_o in_o the_o truth_n of_o his_o covenant_n and_o in_o he_o in_o who_o she_o be_v indeed_o not_o only_o without_o spot_n or_o wrinkle_n coloss_n 1.22_o but_o which_o be_v more_o clothe_v with_o the_o perfect_a righteousness_n of_o the_o reconciler_n

though_o it_o be_v touch_v the_o principal_a article_n by_o some_o as_o the_o weakness_n of_o some_o and_o the_o wickedness_n of_o other_o be_v great_a whereof_o the_o church_n of_o corinth_n may_v be_v a_o witness_n in_o which_o the_o article_n of_o the_o resurrection_n be_v call_v by_o some_o into_o controversy_n and_o the_o church_n of_o the_o galathian_o so_o shake_v that_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o member_n thereof_o it_o be_v utter_o revolt_v as_o the_o apostle_n himself_o witness_v gal._n 1.6_o who_o notwithstanding_o leave_v not_o to_o call_v they_o

for_o this_o cause_n do_v no_o more_o deserve_v the_o name_n of_o a_o church_n then_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o ten_o tribe_n revolt_n with_o jeroboam_fw-la the_o son_n of_o nabath_n deserve_v the_o
