crave_v pardon_n i_o speak_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o you_o must_v pardon_v i_o if_o i_o use_v those_o term_n which_o be_v fit_v to_o express_v it_o well_o now_o we_o have_v take_v a_o short_a view_n of_o the_o several_a branch_n as_o it_o be_v of_o the_o link_n of_o the_o chain_n wherein_o we_o be_v hold_v in_o bondage_n now_o in_o a_o word_n that_o i_o may_v conclude_v turn_v myself_o to_o the_o worthy_n of_o our_o israel_n let_v i_o desire_v your_o patience_n in_o a_o word_n for_o confirmation_n who_o must_v do_v it_o what_o must_v be_v do_v for_o the_o free_n of_o the_o

business_n they_o must_v do_v it_o who_o but_o they_o and_o therefore_o we_o must_v pray_v that_o god_n will_v put_v it_o into_o your_o hea●●s_n most_o noble_a senator_n that_o god_n will_v inflame_v your_o heart_n with_o the_o love_n of_o the_o church_n with_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n and_o of_o his_o kingdom_n and_o zeal_n of_o his_o glory_n and_o that_o no_o one_o man_n may_v usurp_v and_o

and_o when_o this_o be_v do_v may_v some_o say_v shall_v we_o take_v away_o the_o government_n what_o shall_v we_o have_v no_o government_n sure_o most_o noble_a senator_n give_v i_o leave_v to_o present_v unto_o you_o a_o notable_a example_n worthy_a of_o all_o your_o imitation_n even_o from_o this_o very_a island_n of_o we_o it_o be_v record_v in_o story_n that_o this_o island_n be_v the_o first_o province_n that_o ever_o receive_v the_o faith_n of_o christ_n a_o honour_n to_o england_n and_o god_n grant_v that_o we_o may_v walk_v worthy_a of_o his_o honour_n and_o maintain_v it_o and_o

but_o now_o what_o order_v be_v there_o of_o the_o church_n here_o in_o england_n hereupon_o king_n lucius_n take_v counsel_n for_o this_o do_v not_o as_o jeroboam_n set_v up_o his_o own_o device_n but_o he_o send_v to_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n for_o to_o desire_v he_o to_o send_v he_o a_o pattern_n or_o model_n of_o such_o government_n which_o he_o think_v fit_a to_o be_v set_v up_o in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n send_v he_o this_o answer_n as_o appear_v by_o the_o letter_n at_o large_a you_o have_v receive_v the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n you_o have_v set_v up_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n go_v to_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n for_o christ_n have_v leave_v the_o two_o volume_n of_o the_o scripture_n the_o old_a and_o the_o new_a testament_n out_o of_o which_o you_o and_o your_o counsel_n may_v take_v a_o rule_n not_o only_o for_o the_o government_n of_o the_o church_n but_o of_o your_o whole_a life_n this_o be_v the_o brief_a sum_n of_o his_o answer_n to_o that_o king_n lucius_n and_o thereby_o we_o may_v see_v that_o at_o that_o time_n the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v in_o her_o infancy_n for_o even_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n do_v acknowledge_v the_o word_n of_o god_n the_o scripture_n to_o contain_v a_o rule_n for_o all_o thing_n do_v in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n for_o government_n and_o discipline_n and_o what_o ever_o else_o in_o the_o service_n of_o god_n so_o then_o belove_v we_o may_v stand_v upon_o good_a reason_n who_o be_v this_o lawgiver_n of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n who_o be_v the_o lawgiver_n under_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v it_o not_o he_o that_o be_v the_o lawgiver_n under_o the_o old_a what_o do_v christ_n there_o do_v he_o not_o set_v up_o a_o form_n of_o government_n and_o service_n as_o he_o please_v that_o he_o may_v make_v the_o economy_n of_o that_o mosaical_a service_n agreeable_a to_o those_o time_n he_o have_v now_o abolish_v all_o those_o rite_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n this_o christ_n do_v so_o exact_o that_o there_o be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o the_o pin_n of_o the_o tabernacle_n leave_v for_o we_o so_o then_o for_o the_o pattern_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n leave_v for_o we_o we_o must_v go_v by_o that_o which_o christ_n have_v set_v up_o in_o his_o word_n and_o what_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o it_o the_o very_a sum_n of_o the_o service_n of_o god_n be_v that_o which_o christ_n say_v in_o the_o 4._o iob._n the_o time_n be_v that_o you_o worship_v in_o jerusalem_n and_o in_o this_o mountain_n but_o the_o time_n shall_v come_v that_o they_o that_o worship_n god_n shall_v worship_v he_o in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n christ_n have_v tie_v the_o church_n to_o no_o ceremony_n to_o show_v that_o all_o our_o service_n and_o worship_n of_o god_n it_o must_v be_v in_o spirit_n and_o truth_n it_o must_v not_o be_v in_o shadow_n and_o type_n in_o imitation_n of_o the_o jew_n in_o their_o levitical_a service_n but_o it_o must_v be_v in_o spirit_n and_o truth_n but_o here_o some_o will_v say_v and_o i_o remember_v that_o one_o have_v in_o a_o write_a book_n call_v the_o relation_n of_o a_o conference_n between_o he_o and_o fisher_n the_o bishop_n of_o canterbury_n i_o mean_v plead_v for_o ceremony_n if_o there_o be_v to_o few_o say_v he_o they_o will_v leave_v the_o service_n of_o god_n naked_a naked_a why_o belove_a be_v we_o to_o dispute_v or_o discern_v the_o service_n of_o god_n which_o christ_n have_v leave_v without_o any_o command_n from_o he_o it_o be_v true_a belove_v it_o be_v naked_a and_o it_o be_v in_o spirit_n and_o truth_n when_o it_o be_v naked_a and_o when_o it_o be_v in_o its_o own_o naked_a truth_n adam_n and_o evah_n be_v never_o more_o glorious_a than_o in_o their_o naked_a innocency_n when_o they_o put_v on_o figleaf_n to_o cover_v they_o it_o be_v only_o a_o badge_n of_o their_o shame_n so_o it_o be_v in_o this_o respect_n the_o church_n of_o god_n be_v the_o spouse_n of_o christ_n the_o spouse_n of_o christ_n must_v not_o put_v on_o a_o babylonish_a garment_n lest_o she_o be_v take_v for_o a_o whore_n it_o be_v a_o shame_n for_o a_o spouse_n to_o be_v in_o a_o whore_n garment_n she_o must_v be_v rule_v by_o her_o husband_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v not_o go_v about_o to_o paint_v the_o service_n of_o god_n with_o our_o colour_n nor_o with_o the_o colour_n of_o our_o devotion_n you_o fair_o face_n by_o nature_n if_o paint_v the_o beauty_n will_v be_v quick_o eat_v out_o the_o paint_n deck_v adorn_v and_o colour_v you_o complexion_n of_o the_o service_n of_o god_n with_o

do_v destroy_v religion_n more_o than_o when_o man_n begin_v to_o set_v up_o service_n of_o god_n of_o their_o own_o devise_v thus_o do_v the_o pope_n from_o time_n to_o time_n from_o age_n to_o age_n bring_v in_o that_o mass_n of_o superstition_n and_o idolatrous_a service_n so_o that_o it_o be_v rather_o the_o service_n of_o man_n or_o rather_o the_o service_n of_o the_o devil_n now_o you_o

to_o pray_v in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n to_o preach_v the_o word_n of_o god_n he_o have_v teach_v we_o to_o expound_v the_o scripture_n to_o old_a man_n and_o young_a and_o for_o to_o spend_v
