by'r_a pag._n 81._o first_o he_o say_v the_o scripture_n never_o set_v forth_o any_o of_o god_n people_n by_o this_o mark_n say_v you_o so_o mr._n bern_n be_v not_o the_o scripture_n plentiful_a in_o declare_v unto_o we_o that_o the_o l._n add_v daily_o to_o the_o church_n such_o as_o shall_v be_v save_v act._n 2.47_o that_o they_o that_o glad_o receive_v the_o word_n be_v baptize_v &_o add_v to_o the_o church_n &_o continue_v therein_o act._n 2.14.42_o do_v not_o the_o apostle_n teach_v that_o there_o be_v one_o faith_n one_o body_n one_o baptism_n one_o lord_n &_o but_o one_o eph._n 4._o and_o that_o they_o that_o be_v not_o of_o this_o faith_n body_n baptism_n lord_n be_v without_o the_o faith_n without_o the_o body_n that_o be_v the_o church_n without_o the_o true_a baptism_n without_o this_o true_a lord_n &_o king_n jesus_n christ_n &_o so_o be_v none_o of_o god_n people_n visible_a none_o of_o christ_n kingdom_n none_o of_o christ_n body_n none_o of_o his_o faith_n &_o baptism_n be_v not_o true_a faith_n prayer_n baptism_n the_o lord_n supper_n the_o true_a church_n plain_a &_o pregnant_a do_v monstrative_a proper_a adjunct_n of_o god_n visible_a people_n &_o how_o can_v you_o with_o any_o face_n of_o truth_n or_o a_o good_a conscience_n of_o your_o judgement_n &_o knowledge_n say_v that_o to_o be_v of_o a_o true_a visible_a church_n be_v no_o note_n of_o god_n visible_a people_n out_o you_o say_v further_o that_o he_o syn_v which_o do_v not_o live_v in_o a_o true_a constitute_v church_n ordinary_o when_o he_o can_v &_o have_v mean_n offer_v nay_o we_o say_v further_o than_o so_o that_o he_o syn_v that_o do_v not_o seek_v mean_n to_o live_v in_o a_o true_a constitute_v church_n &_o not_o only_o he_o that_o use_v not_o mean_n offer_v so_o to_o do_v wherefore_o we_o say_v that_o which_o you_o say_v &_o more_o also_o but_o i_o pray_v you_o what_o mean_v your_o ordinary_o live_v in_o a_o true_a constitute_v church_n do_v you_o hold_v that_o there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o member_n &_o converser_n in_o the_o true_a church_n some_o ordinary_a &_o some_o occasional_a or_o extraordinary_a &_o do_v you_o think_v that_o to_o be_v of_o a_o true_a church_n &_o to_o live_v in_o a_o true_a church_n be_v one_o thing_n we_o say_v that_o member_n of_o true_a church_n be_v all_o ordinary_a &_o of_o one_o kind_a &_o consideration_n &_o further_o we_o say_v that_o it_o be_v one_o thing_n to_o be_v of_o a_o true_a church_n or_o a_o member_n of_o a_o true_a church_n another_o thing_n to_o live_v in_o the_o true_a church_n &_o a_o man_n may_v be_v a_o member_n of_o a_o true_a church_n potentia_o &_o actua_o as_o i_o have_v already_o declare_v in_o the_o 4._o former_a particular_n but_o all_o this_o be_v nothing_o to_o that_o which_o i_o affirm_v for_o i_o say_v thus_o that_o he_o which_o be_v not_o of_o a_o true_a visible_a church_n be_v no_o subject_n of_o chr._n kingdom_n that_o be_v he_o be_v not_o under_o the_o visible_a dominion_n &_o lordship_n of_o chr._n in_o his_o church_n which_o be_v his_o kingdom_n i_o do_v not_o say_v that_o he_o be_v invisiblie_o none_o of_o the_o l._n people_n for_o a_o man_n may_v be_v one_o of_o the_o l._n people_n in_o election_n &_o grace_n invisiblie_o &_o yet_o not_o in_o the_o true_a visible_a church_n which_o be_v chr._n visible_a kingdom_n again_o take_v a_o instance_n to_o exemplify_v the_o matter_n all_o we_o that_o be_v of_o the_o separate_a church_n in_o these_o country_n be_v of_o the_o common_a wealth_n of_o england_n &_o therefore_o subject_n of_o the_o king_n of_o england_n our_o sovereign_a lord_n on_o earth_n though_o we_o be_v not_o actual_o under_o the_o execution_n of_o his_o law_n court_n officer_n by_o reason_n of_o banishment_n &_o that_o we_o may_v submit_v to_o chr._n ordinance_n etc._n etc._n so_o a_o true_a separate_a christian_a be_v a_o subject_n of_o chr._n visible_a polity_n &_o kingdom_n which_o be_v his_o church_n either_o actual_o or_o potential_o although_o by_o banishment_n that_o be_v by_o undeserved_a communication_n by_o imprissonment_n by_o other_o occasion_n he_o be_v actua_o absent_v &_o separate_v from_o the_o presence_n thereof_o wherefore_o mr._n bern._n i_o do_v in_o this_o section_n indite_v you_o before_o the_o l._n &_o the_o world_n as_o one_o that_o of_o purpose_n &_o so_o maliciousty_a pervert_v my_o meaning_n &_o slaunder_v this_o excellent_a truth_n of_o god_n do_v not_o your_o conscience_n tell_v you_o may_v you_o not_o read_v it_o in_o the_o copy_n of_o my_o letter_n that_o i_o distingnish_v betwixt_o god_n people_n which_o be_v of_o two_o sort_n visible_a subject_n of_o ch._n visible_a church_n which_o be_v his_o kingd_a &_o invisible_a one_o know_v only_o to_o the_o l._n certain_o &_o particular_o further_o this_o doctryn_n of_o i_o you_o say_v be_v contrary_n to_o 4_o place_n of_o scripture_n pa._n 81._o the_o first_o place_n be_v gal._n 3.7.9_o the_o apostle_n word_n be_v these_o they_o which_o be_v of_o say_v be_v the_o child_n of_o abraham_n we_o 7._o &_o they_o which_o be_v of_o faith_n be_v bless_v with_o faithful_a abraham_n which_o scripture_n prove_v my_o doctrine_n or_o rather_o the_o l._n truth_n i_o say_v that_o faith_n here_o be_v opose_v to_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n &_o that_o faith_n signify_v a_o visible_a faith_n for_o the_o apostle_n james_n say_v jam._n 3_o 21-24_a speak_v of_o the_o same_o matter_n viz_n of_o abraham_n faith_n that_o it_o be_v make_v perfect_a by_o work_n for_o if_o abraham_n faith_n have_v not_o be_v manifest_v by_o his_o work_n it_o have_v be_v invisible_a &_o it_o will_v not_o have_v be_v discern_v by_o man_n &_o therefore_o in_o the_o same_o place_n we_o 14._o the_o ap._n speak_v direct_o of_o a_o visible_a faith_n this_o place_n of_o the_o ap._n therefore_o confirm_v my_o assertion_n plain_o that_o they_o that_o be_v not_o of_o a_o true_a constitute_v church_n be_v no_o subject_n of_o chr._n kingd_v because_o they_o do_v not_o by_o their_o work_n show_v their_o faith_n ______o but_z if_o they_o have_v faith_n they_o have_v it_o with_o god_n &_o not_o with_o man_n who_o can_v judge_v only_o by_o the_o fruit_n the_o second_o place_n be_v 1._o joh._n 3.14_o where_o the_o apostle_n speak_v thus_o we_o know_v we_o be_v translate_v from_o death_n to_o life_n because_o we_o love_v the_o brethren_n who_o be_v the_o brethren_n be_v not_o they_o that_o call_v god_n father_n who_o can_v call_v god_n father_n but_o they_o that_o have_v christ_n for_o their_o lord_n &_o mr._n for_o their_o elder_a brother_n to_o who_o be_v christ_n lord_n &_o mr._n but_o to_o they_o that_o be_v subject_n of_o his_o kingdom_n so_o that_o this_o place_n also_o make_v most_o evident_o for_o the_o confirmation_n of_o this_o truth_n of_o god_n which_o i_o defend_v but_o you_o mr._n bern._n dream_n of_o be_o visible_a faith_n of_o a_o invisible_a kingdom_n of_o a_o invisible_a brotherhood_n or_o consanguinity_n whereas_o christ_n say_v directe_o that_o they_o which_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n be_v his_o brethren_n &_o of_o his_o fraternity_n marc._n 3.35_o &_o what_o have_v we_o to_o do_v with_o thing_n invisible_a hide_a &_o secret_a deut._n 29.29_o i_o avouch_v that_o you_o can_v prove_v to_o i_o by_o any_o rule_n of_o god_n word_n certain_o that_o those_o that_o be_v not_o member_n of_o a_o true_a constitute_v church_n be_v subject_n of_o christ_n kingdom_n invisible_a as_o you_o i_o be_o sure_o intend_v it_o further_o what_o be_v the_o love_n of_o the_o brethren_n whereof_o the_o apostle_n speak_v be_v it_o not_o a_o visible_a love_n testify_v in_o the_o performance_n of_o the_o visible_a duty_n of_o love_n christ_n faith_n joh._n 14.25_o if_o you_o love_v i_o keep_v my_o commandment_n obedience_n be_v the_o true_a touchstone_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n &_o 1_o joh._n 3.17_o whosoever_o have_v this_o world_n good_a &_o see_v his_o brother_n need_n &_o chut_v up_o his_o compassion_n from_o he_o how_o dwell_v the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o he_o so_o the_o visible_a duty_n of_o brotherly_a love_n be_v the_o true_a touchstone_n of_o brotherly_a love_n but_o the_o principal_a visible_a duty_n of_o brotherly_a love_n be_v the_o duty_n of_o admonition_n consolation_n supportation_n patience_n 1._o thes_n 5.14_o exhortation_n edification_n us._n 11._o among_o they_o admonition_n be_v most_o excellent_a mat._n 18_o 15-17_a compare_v with_o levit._n 19.17_o they_o therefore_o that_o altogether_o omit_v these_o visible_a duty_n of_o admonition_n in_o the_o
