A97109	The vanitie of the present churches, and vncertainty of their preaching, discovered. Wherein the pretended immediate teaching of the spirit, is denyed, and the all-sufficiency of the Scriptures teaching, is maintained. With, a new and true method of reading thereof, for the peace of the mind, and rule of life.	Walwyn, William, 1600-1681, attributed name.	1649 (1649)	Wing W693A; Thomason E1367_1; ESTC R210498	20,838	55

teach_v unto_o they_o the_o truth_n whereof_o they_o be_v enable_v and_o do_v confirm_v with_o miracle_n so_o as_o it_o may_v be_v as_o true_o say_v of_o they_o as_o it_o be_v of_o christ_n our_o lord_n that_o they_o teach_v as_o man_n have_v authority_n and_o not_o as_o the_o scribe_n nor_o as_o the_o uncertain_a pharisaical_a teacher_n of_o these_o time_n unto_o which_o word_n of_o they_o we_o be_v principal_o to_o give_v heed_n but_o therein_o also_o we_o be_v chief_o to_o discover_v and_o to_o mind_n what_o that_o doctrine_n be_v which_o they_o by_o the_o spirit_n be_v ordain_v to_o preach_v because_o that_o be_v understand_v and_o believe_v do_v give_v the_o believer_n thereof_o the_o name_n and_o be_v of_o a_o christian_a how_o plain_a and_o brief_a soever_o it_o be_v for_o we_o must_v note_v that_o there_o be_v many_o thing_n write_v by_o the_o apostle_n upon_o occasion_n that_o concern_v only_o or_o chief_o the_o time_n wherein_o they_o write_v and_o the_o place_n and_o person_n to_o who_o they_o write_v which_o be_v the_o true_a cause_n that_o many_o thing_n be_v too_o hard_o for_o we_o to_o understand_v but_o there_o be_v one_o universal_a doctrine_n which_o they_o be_v to_o preach_v to_o all_o nation_n where_o with_o all_o their_o writing_n do_v abound_v and_o which_o be_v very_o plain_a and_o easy_a to_o be_v understand_v and_o this_o be_v it_o namely_o that_o the_o same_o jesus_n who_o the_o jew_n crucify_v be_v lord_n and_o christ_n that_o he_o be_v the_o propitiation_n for_o our_o sin_n and_o not_o only_o for_o we_o but_o for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n that_o it_o be_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n which_o cleanse_v we_o from_o all_o sin_n that_o his_o love_n be_v so_o exceed_v towards_o we_o that_o even_o when_o we_o be_v enemy_n christ_n die_v for_o we_o this_o be_v the_o doctrine_n which_o beget_v people_n unto_o the_o faith_n and_o make_v they_o believer_n and_o they_o use_v no_o other_o inducement_n unto_o believer_n to_o walk_v as_o become_v this_o gospel_n or_o glad_a tiding_n of_o peace_n and_o reconciliation_n between_o god_n and_o we_o but_o this_o you_o be_v buy_v with_o a_o price_n therefore_o

salvation_n unto_o all_o man_n have_v appear_v teach_v we_o to_o deny_v all_o ungodliness_n &_o unrighteousness_n of_o man_n and_o to_o live_v righteous_o godly_a and_o sober_o in_o this_o present_a world_n that_o we_o shall_v love_v as_o christ_n have_v love_v who_o give_v himself_o a_o offer_v and_o a_o sacrifice_n for_o we_o so_o that_o if_o we_o will_v try_v each_o other_o faith_n we_o be_v to_o consider_v each_o other_o love_n so_o much_o faith_n so_o much_o love_n so_o much_o love_n so_o much_o pure_a and_o undefiled_a religion_n extend_v itself_o to_o the_o fatherless_a and_o to_o

he_o speak_v by_o his_o holy_a prophet_n in_o all_o time_n even_o to_o john_n the_o baptist_n yet_o when_o we_o have_v do_v all_o we_o must_v acknowledge_v that_o very_o many_o thing_n exceed_v our_o

for_o those_o wonderful_a thing_n we_o read_v of_o the_o life_n of_o christ_n of_o his_o wisdom_n goodness_n and_o power_n by_o which_o he_o beat_v down_o the_o wisdom_n craft_n and_o policy_n of_o

this_o dispensation_n of_o god_n only_a do_v we_o come_v to_o know_v the_o benefit_n of_o christ_n death_n and_o that_o he_o be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o law_n for_o righteousness_n and_o the_o

the_o epistle_n of_o paul_n of_o peter_n james_n judas_n and_o the_o epistle_n of_o john_n &_o the_o revelat._n to_o st._n john_n but_o we_o must_v still_o acknowledge_v that_o there_o be_v very_o many_o thing_n in_o they_o all_o which_o we_o apprehend_v not_o full_o we_o read_v of_o apostle_n evangelist_n prophet_n pastor_n and_o teacher_n and_o of_o the_o order_n and_o regulate_v of_o

nor_o so_o collect_v into_o any_o one_o book_n as_o to_o convince_v that_o god_n now_o under_o the_o gospel_n so_o exact_o enjoin_v church_n government_n as_o he_o do_v under_o the_o law_n where_o
