that_o many_o be_v in_o the_o visible_a church_n that_o have_v not_o these_o thing_n for_o first_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n be_v like_o a_o net_n that_o gather_v together_o good_a &_o bad_a the_o

have_v oft_o be_v feene_z when_o paul_n say_v all_o man_n have_v not_o faith_n he_o speak_v not_o only_o of_o they_o that_o be_v without_o but_o even_o of_o they_o that_o be_v within_o the_o church_n and_o to_o the_o corinthian_n he_o say_v some_o have_v not_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n i_o speak_v this_o to_o your_o shame_n wherefore_o even_o in_o the_o church_n of_o corinth_n the_o people_n whereof_o be_v call_v faithful_a and_o saint_n there_o be_v some_o that_o have_v no_o knowledge_n of_o god_n and_o why_o may_v not_o that_o befall_v the_o church_n of_o christ_n which_o befall_v the_o israelite_n unto_o we_o be_v the_o gospel_n preach_v as_o unto_o they_o but_o the_o word_n that_o they_o hear_v profit_v not_o they_o because_o it_o be_v not_o mix_v with_o faith_n in_o those_o that_o hear_v it_o as_o we_o be_v like_o they_o in_o hear_v so_o why_o may_v not_o some_o among_o we_o be_v like_o they_o in_o not_o believe_v and_o yet_o as_o they_o be_v so_o may_v we_o be_v reckon_v of_o the_o outward_a church_n they_o see_v that_o the_o church_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o prophet_n have_v many_o which_o be_v neither_o regenerate_v nor_o faithful_a such_o as_o have_v neither_o the_o spirrte_v nor_o knowledge_n but_o they_o will_v make_v we_o differ_v from_o they_o in_o a_o straight_a covenant_n of_o separation_n for_o they_o say_v the_o carnal_a propagation_n from_o abraham_n and_o outward_a circumcision_n be_v enough_o to_o keep_v they_o in_o the_o church_n but_o nothing_o keep_v we_o in_o it_o that_o be_v outward_a not_o baptism_n nor_o any_o outward_a thing_n but_o only_a grace_n and_o faith_n and_o the_o spirit_n if_o any_o man_n have_v not_o these_o and_o be_v not_o so_o esteem_v he_o be_v not_o to_o be_v account_v so_o much_o as_o of_o the_o visible_a church_n and_o this_o they_o ground_n of_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o jew_n which_o as_o they_o say_v separated_z none_o from_o their_o synagogue_n for_o sin_n but_o this_o be_v false_a they_o that_o confess_v christ_n they_o put_v out_o of_o their_o synagogue_n although_o unjust_o &_o for_o diverse_a kind_n of_o sin_n they_o have_v diverse_a sacrifice_n which_o must_v be_v offer_v by_o they_o before_o there_o can_v be_v any_o atonement_n for_o they_o so_o the_o jew_n separate_v some_o for_o sin_n and_o yet_o wicked_a person_n be_v still_o of_o their_o outward_a church_n as_o for_o the_o

circumcision_n avail_v any_o thing_n nor_o uncircumcision_n but_o a_o new_a creature_n or_o else_o speak_v of_o outward_a profession_n &_o show_v of_o faith_n as_o when_o the_o corinthian_n be_v call_v faithful_a and_o such_o as_o s._n james_n speak_v of_o in_o his_o second_o chapter_n or_o last_o of_o all_o because_o some_o have_v these_o in_o truth_n they_o be_v ascribe_v to_o the_o rest_n because_o they_o make_v one_o outward_a body_n with_o they_o &_o be_v denominate_v of_o the_o best_a as_o when_o paul_n say_v such_o be_v some_o of_o you_o but_o you_o be_v wash_v but_o you_o be_v

the_o church_n must_v be_v a_o company_n of_o faithful_a people_n the_o second_o note_n which_o they_o make_v be_v a_o separation_n from_o the_o heathen_a of_o the_o land_n these_o heathen_n they_o
