therefore_o they_o be_v the_o church_n of_o god_n we_o do_v not_o deny_v but_o that_o there_o be_v sundry_a church_n of_o god_n but_o the_o question_n be_v of_o a_o corrupt_a profession_n by_o

which_o be_v that_o the_o lord_n will_v come_v unto_o zion_n and_o to_o those_o that_o turn_v from_o iniquity_n in_o jacob_n and_o with_o they_o will_v he_o make_v his_o covenant_n wherefore_o the_o

both_o for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o priest_n and_o of_o the_o people_n which_o do_v plain_o prove_v that_o by_o one_o common_a doctrine_n they_o acknowledge_v all_o to_o be_v sinner_n and_o to_o

allege_v a_o more_o likely_a proof_n than_o these_o out_o of_o the_o roman_n namely_o that_o israel_n seek_v not_o righteousness_n by_o faith_n but_o as_o it_o be_v by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n for_o they_o have_v stumble_v at_o the_o stumble_a stone_n for_o answer_v hereto_o we_o show_v before_o that_o the_o israelite_n make_v a_o profession_n of_o their_o faith_n in_o the_o messiah_n even_o till_o the_o time_n that_o he_o plain_o show_v himself_o and_o then_o they_o reject_v he_o and_o yet_o believe_v that_o he_o be_v still_o to_o come_v their_o faith_n become_v as_o no_o faith_n they_o believe_v in_o a_o messiah_n which_o be_v to_o come_v but_o they_o stumble_v at_o he_o which_o be_v come_v and_o so_o he_o be_v unto_o they_o that_o stumble_a stone_n and_o rock_n of_o offence_n and_o so_o this_o word_n as_o or_o as_o it_o be_v be_v well_o add_v of_o paul_n for_o he_o mean_v that_o their_o doctrine_n and_o profession_n be_v not_o open_o nor_o direct_o to_o seek_v righteousness_n by_o the_o bare_a law_n but_o by_o their_o rebellion_n against_o the_o messiah_n that_o be_v come_v they_o do_v as_o much_o and_o as_o they_o term_v it_o indirect_o so_o as_o it_o be_v they_o seek_v righteousness_n by_o the_o law_n when_o they_o keep_v the_o ceremonial_a law_n without_o the_o christ_n that_o be_v come_v though_o not_o simple_o without_o the_o christ_n they_o look_v for_o yea_o they_o ●eleeved_v that_o the_o ceremony_n do_v still_o offer_v and_o represent_v christ_n unto_o they_o &_o so_o make_v profession_n that_o to_o keep_v the_o ceremonial_a law_n be_v to_o keep_v their_o faith_n and_o belief_n in_o christ_n but_o they_o have_v refuse_v christ_n come_v already_o and_o christ_n have_v abolish_v that_o law_n they_o may_v well_o be_v say_v to_o seek_v righteousness_n without_o faith_n in_o christ_n thus_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o doctrine_n &_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v to_o have_v righteousness_n and_o atonement_n by_o christ_n who_o their_o sacrifice_n do_v signify_v but_o their_o deed_n and_o practice_n in_o refuse_v christ_n be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o seek_v righteousness_n by_o the_o law_n now_o those_o which_o refuse_v christ_n 13._o and_o believe_v not_o in_o he_o 40._o be_v utter_o separate_v as_o be_v show_v before_o from_o the_o communion_n and_o fellowship_n of_o the_o church_n and_o therefore_o this_o matter_n be_v altogete_a against_o he_o 9_o as_o for_o that_o place_n of_o luke_o he_o abuse_v it_o too_o much_o for_o the_o parable_n of_o a_o pharisee_v which_o speak_v of_o matter_n as_o though_o they_o be_v when_o in_o deed_n they_o be_v not_o he_o allege_v for_o proof_n of_o all_o the_o pharisee_n doctrine_n first_o the_o fault_n of_o one_o pharisee_v if_o he_o have_v be_v faulty_a can_v not_o prove_v they_o all_o faulty_a then_o also_o the_o parable_n of_o a_o fault_n do_v show_v it_o to_o be_v no_o fault_n commit_v but_o imagine_v or_o suppose_v as_o if_o it_o be_v commit_v thirdlye_o christ_n in_o that_o place_n mind_v not_o to_o rebuke_v any_o doctrine_n of_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n but_o as_o the_o text_n say_v he_o speak_v a_o parable_n unto_o certain_a which_o trust_v in_o themselves_o that_o they_o be_v just_a and_o despise_v other_o none_o be_v name_v to_o teeche_v any_o such_o doctrine_n but_o certain_a be_v rebuke_v for_o trust_v in_o themselves_o wherefore_o the_o like_a proof_n to_o this_o may_v i_o allege_v against_o he_o namely_o that_o very_o many_o in_o england_n both_o preacher_n and_o other_o do_v trust_n in_o their_o riches_n or_o power_n or_o wisdom_n or_o good_a work_n etc._n etc._n therefore_o the_o preacher_n in_o england_n do_v teach_v man_n to_o trust_v in_o themselves_o but_o as_o this_o proof_n be_v fond_a so_o the_o conclusion_n that_o follow_v be_v according_a for_o he_o conclude_v that_o the_o dumb_a ministry_n be_v as_o lawful_a and_o good_a as_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o scribe_n which_o teach_v untrue_o say_v he_o in_o the_o chief_a ground_n of_o religion_n although_o he_o can_v prove_v such_o untrue_a doctrine_n yet_o how_o do_v it_o follow_v that_o their_o ministry_n which_o fail_v in_o all_o point_n shall_v be_v as_o good_a as_o they_o which_o fail_v but_o in_o some_o point_n for_o the_o dumb_a minister_n we_o prove_v to_o have_v no_o part_n nor_o work_n in_o the_o ministry_n and_o the_o scribe_n he_o confess_v before_o to_o sit_v in_o moses_n seat_n to_o teach_v true_a doctrine_n to_o have_v a_o call_n by_o the_o church_n again_o they_o must_v needs_o edify_v more_o which_o preach_v much_o truth_n than_o they_o which_o be_v no_o preacher_n at_o all_o but_o the_o scripture_n be_v plain_a that_o if_o any_o preach_v much_o truth_n and_o yet_o do_v preach_v heresy_n withal_o they_o be_v to_o be_v
