grace_n come_v by_o he_o and_o narrow_a privilege_n to_o the_o church_n will_v hardly_o be_v understand_v i_o think_v the_o three_o doctrinal_a from_o the_o word_n will_v be_v this_o in_o the_o visible_a 3._o church_n there_o be_v some_o good_a some_o bad_a ordinary_o they_o be_v not_o all_o wise_a virgin_n that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v compare_v to_o but_o five_o wise_a five_o foolish_a all_o within_o the_o visible_a church_n be_v not_o wise_a to_o salvation_n five_o of_o they_o be_v wise_a five_o be_v foolish_a the_o proportion_n of_o the_o wise_a to_o the_o foolish_a five_o to_o five_o in_o the_o parable_n be_v not_o conclude_v that_o there_o be_v as_o many_o good_a as_o bad_a in_o the_o church_n there_o may_v possible_o be_v a_o visible_a church_n where_o there_o be_v none_o bad_a but_o i_o doubt_v there_o be_v none_o such_o find_v there_o be_v but_o twelve_o disciple_n and_o one_o be_v a_o devil_n and_o all_o the_o parable_n whereour_n saviour_n hold_v out_o the_o nature_n and_o state_n of_o the_o visible_a church_n to_o we_o be_v we_o find_v there_o be_v a_o mixture_n so_o in_o the_o parable_n of_o the_o sour_a there_o be_v four_o sort_n of_o ground_n to_o which_o the_o kingdom_n 19_o of_o heaven_n be_v compare_v and_o but_o one_o of_o they_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n to_o perfection_n the_o stony_a ground_n it_o be_v quick_o scorch_v from_o the_o

be_v choke_v when_o all_o be_v do_v and_o so_o the_o parable_n of_o the_o tare_n sow_v in_o the_o field_n they_o grow_v up_o 25._o with_o the_o corn_n and_o it_o seem_v by_o the_o ancient_a report_n even_o jerom_n be_v so_o like_v it_o while_n in_o the_o blade_n that_o they_o can_v be_v hardly_o discern_v from_o it_o but_o there_o they_o grow_v and_o partake_v of_o the_o juice_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o fatness_n of_o the_o soil_n and_o be_v green_a and_o flourish_n and_o yet_o at_o last_o be_v single_v out_o for_o fire_n and_o so_o the_o barn-floor_n there_o be_v wheat_n and_o there_o be_v chaff_n lie_v together_o until_o he_o who_o fan_n be_v in_o his_o hand_n shall_v thorough_o purge_v it_o and_o then_o the_o separation_n be_v make_v 6._o woe_n to_o the_o chaff_n but_o at_o

the_o apostle_n all_o be_v not_o israel_n that_o be_v of_o israel_n some_o be_v israel_n that_o be_v of_o israel_n but_o all_o be_v not_o some_o be_v of_o israel_n though_o they_o be_v not_o the_o
