England to thy great comfort as it is written Since yee seeke a proofe of Christ speaking in me Examine your selues whether yee bee in the Faith prooue your owne selues Know yee not your owne selues how that Iesus Christ is in you except yee be reprobates But I trust yee shall know that we are not reprobates 2 Cor. 13. 2 Cor. 13.3 5 6. 3 5 6. As if hee should haue said The onely way to know that Wee that is the true Ministers of Christ are in Christ is by the knowledge of your selues to be in Christ Mat. 7.2 3 4 5. 1 Cor. 2. ●5 16. Giuing vs to vnderstand thereby that none can truely know a Childe of God but he that is in truth the Childe of God himselfe Mat. 7.2 3 4 5. 1 Cor. 2.15 16. But some may say further I heare one cry out for want of Discipline others for Order some for Christs Officers one saith Here is Christ another There is Christ Let such an one againe satisfie himself that Christ hath made it a marke of a Seducing spirit to drawe Disciples after him Now wee haue learned to haue respect to all Gods commandements Ps 119.6 Ps 119.6 and amongst the rest this is one To beware of false Prophets Mat. 7.15 Mat. 7.15 16. This our most blessed Redeemer was carefull to presse vpon vs his Redeemed ones where he saith If any man shall say vnto you Lo heere is Christ or there beleeue it not for there shall arise false Christs and false Prophets and shall shew great signes wonders insomuch that if it were possible they will deceiue the very Elect Mat. 24.24 Mat. 24.24 This is againe repeated to note the certaine and necessary vse of such aduise Behold I haue tolde you before wherefore if any shall say vnto you Behold he is in the Desart goe not foorth Behold hee is in the secret chambers beleeue it not Ver. 25.26 Ver. 25.26 And the holy Ghost warneth vs of times wherin some shall giue heede to seducing spirits 1 Tim. 4.1 1 Tim. 4.1 As also That there shall be false Teachers euen among the Saints That shall priuily bring in damnable Heresies And many shall follow their Pernitious waies by reason of whome the way of truth shal be euill spoken of And through Couetousnes they shal with feighned words make marchandise of the Saints 2 Pet. 2.1 2 3. 2 Pet. 2.1 2 3. And we are willed nay commanded not to beletue euery Spirit but to try the Spirits whether they are of God because many false Prophets are gone out into the World 1 Io. 4.1 1 Io. 4.1 Therefore if thou be a Saint or true beleeuer abide in thy Place and bee not drawne to any such Places Companies or Constitutions but attend vpon the Word and drawe others thereunto that as others haue beene examples to thee so thou mayst also be to others Labour for the Peace of the Land Citie or Place where thou dwellest Ier. 29.7 and dost liue Ier. 29.7 Get thine owne soule within the compasse of Christs Discipline and thine owne Family into order And know that if thou must needes graunt that the Church of God is in England thou must also of necessitie graunt that Christs Gouernment is here also vnlesse thou wilt seperate him from that his Gouernment Mat. 19.6 Mat. 19.6 For hee himselfe hath sayd That his Gouernment is vpon his shoulder Is 9.6 Is 9.6 But some may further obiect This Gouernment is not visible or I cannot see this that you affirme Let such get Eye-salue and desire God to open the Mistery of it For indeed the Church is glorious but to whome To those onely that are within it as it is written Ps 45.13 The Kings daughter is all glorious within Psa 45.13 None can see the Light of this Candle Mat. 5.15 Lu. 11.33 Io. 3.3 but such as are within the House Mat. 5.15 Lu 11.33 And Except a man be borne againe he cannot see the Kingdome of God Io. 3.3 So that it is no wonder seeing thou seest not the Church it selfe that thou seest not the beautie and comelinesse thereof As it is no wonder that a man cannot iustly finde fault with the Building that sees not the House or vvith the Order that sees not the Army it selfe And I must needes say that if thou graunt that there is a Church any where thou must of necessitie grant that Christs owne glorious Order is euen there also though thou see it not Blame then thy blindnes complayne of thine owne Ignorance For it is fearefull to call in question Gods wisedome who being the Author of our blessed Church in England hath also set a beautifull and glorious Order in the same For hee is not the Author of Confusion but of Order Rom. 9.20 Rom. 9.20 1 Cor. 14.33 40. 1 Cor. 14.33.40 Lastly let this bee well obserued As thou louest the life of thy soule beware how thou call in Question peremptorily things thou vnderstandest not or affirme things thou knowest not lest thou deserue iustly to bee rancked amongst those presumptuous and selfe-willed ones that are not afrayd to speake of Dignities whereas Angels which are greater in power and might bring not rayling Accusation against them before the Lord 2 Pet. 2.10 11 12 2 Pet. 2.10 11 12.

And in an other Scripture speaking as here expressely of the Calling of the Gentiles and reiecting of the Iewes it is thus written That there shal be weeping and gnashing of teeth when yee shall see Abraham Isaac and Iacob and all the Prophets in the Kingdome of God and you your selues thrust out And they shall come from the East and from the West and from the North and from the South Luk. 13.28 29. and shall sit downe in the Kingdome of God Luk. 13.28 29. And howsoeuer it may truly be sayd to be open to all beleeuers yet it may be as truely sayd that Iohn Baptist was the first proclaymer of it in playne termes as we speake as it is written In those dayes came Iohn the Baptist preaching in the Wildernesse of Iudea and saying Mat. 3.1 2.
