worship_v of_o image_n to_o their_o own_o lucre_n and_o gain_n in_o so_o much_o that_o the_o couscience_n of_o many_o man_n for_o this_o cause_n be_v great_o offend_v and_o therefore_o will_v not_o

no_o infant_n shall_v be_v baptize_v out_o of_o the_o congregation_n of_o the_o romish_a church_n 3_o as_o concern_v the_o holy_a comunion_n many_o good_a man_n do_v mislike_v three_o thing_n in_o

the_o holy_a and_o inviolable_a discipline_n establish_v discipline_n by_o his_o authority_n in_o the_o church_n ought_v to_o be_v observe_v and_o that_o therefore_o pastor_n ought_v to_o be_v in_o the_o church_n to_o who_o appertain_v the_o office_n of_o preach_v the_o word_n and_o the_o ministration_n of_o the_o sacrament_n who_o man_n ought_v to_o honour_n and_o reverent_o hear_v if_o they_o be_v lawful_o call_v discharge_v their_o duty_n not_o that_o god_n of_o necessity_n need_v such_o inferior_a help_n but_o rather_o because_o it_o thus_o seem_v good_a unto_o he_o to_o rule_v we_o as_o it_o be_v with_o a_o bridle_n and_o therefore_o we_o do_v detest_v all_o those_o fanatical_a person_n which_o so_o much_o as_o in_o they_o lie_v seek_v to_o abolish_v the_o holy_a ministry_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n and_o the_o administration_n of_o sacrament_n 26_o we_o believe_v therefore_o that_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o no_o man_n to_o church_n withdraw_v himself_o from_o the_o congregation_n and_o to_o trust_v in_o himself_o but_o be_v rather_o the_o duty_n of_o all_o man_n to_o defend_v and_o keep_v the_o unity_n of_o the_o church_n submit_v themselves_o to_o the_o common_a institution_n and_o yoke_n of_o christ_n wheresoever_o god_n have_v appoint_v the_o true_a and_o ecclesiastical_a discipline_n although_o the_o edict_n of_o magistrate_n be_v against_o the_o same_o from_o the_o which_o order_n whosoever_o separate_v themselves_o they_o resist_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god._n 27_o we_o believe_v that_o with_o great_a diligence_n and_o discretion_n the_o be_v true_a church_n must_v be_v discern_v by_o the_o name_n whereof_o many_o be_v too_o much_o abuse_v therefore_o we_o affirm_v out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o the_o church_n be_v a_o company_n or_o congregation_n of_o the_o faithful_a which_o do_v agree_v in_o follow_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o in_o embrace_v true_a religion_n in_o the_o which_o also_o they_o daily_a profit_n and_o go_v forward_o ground_v and_o confirm_v one_o another_o in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n who_o although_o they_o receive_v never_o so_o great_a profit_n yet_o must_v they_o daily_a of_o necessity_n seek_v for_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o will_v not_o deny_v but_o that_o many_o hypocrite_n and_o reprobate_n be_v mix_v with_o the_o faithful_a but_o yet_o their_o wickedness_n can_v not_o take_v away_o the_o name_n the_o church_n 28_o therefore_o in_o beléeve_v of_o this_o thing_n we_o also_o open_o affirm_v that_o where_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v not_o receive_v nor_o no_o profession_n of_o that_o obedience_n show_v that_o belong_v thereunto_o nor_o no_o use_n of_o the_o sacrament_n there_o to_o speak_v proper_o we_o can_v judge_v no_o church_n to_o be_v we_o therefore_o condemn_v the_o papistical_a church_n because_o the_o pure_a truth_n of_o god_n be_v banish_v out_o of_o the_o same_o in_o the_o which_o the_o sacrament_n of_o faith_n be_v corrupt_v falsify_v or_o else_o quite_o abolish_v in_o the_o which_o all_o superstition_n &_o idolatry_n be_v to_o be_v find_v and_o therefore_o we_o think_v that_o all_o they_o which_o do_v join_v themselves_o to_o such_o action_n and_o do_v communicate_v with_o they_o do_v separate_v they_o self_n from_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n notwithstanding_o because_o in_o the_o papacy_n remain_v some_o imitation_n of_o the_o true_a church_n papacy_n and_o special_o the_o substance_n of_o baptism_n the_o efficacy_n whereof_o depend_v not_o upon_o he_o that_o minister_v the_o same_o we_o grant_v that_o they_o which_o be_v baptize_v in_o the_o same_o popish_a church_n have_v no_o need_n to_o be_v baptize_v again_o howbeit_o because_o of_o the_o corruption_n with_o the_o which_o baptism_n be_v there_o mix_v no_o man_n can_v offer_v his_o child_n to_o be_v of_o they_o baptize_v but_o he_o must_v pollute_v himself_o 29_o we_o do_v believe_v that_o the_o true_a church_n ought_v to_o be_v govern_v with_o that_o discipline_n which_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n church_n appoint_v and_o to_o have_v in_o the_o same_o pastor_n minister_n and_o deacon_n that_o the_o pure_a doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n may_v be_v preach_v vice_n bridle_v and_o poor_a &_o afflict_a person_n so_o far_o as_o need_n shall_v require_v comfort_v 30_o we_o do_v believe_v that_o all_o true_a pastor_n wheresoever_o they_o be_v place_v have_v power_n and_o authority_n all_o a_o like_a under_o that_o only_a head_n and_o chief_a universal_a bishop_n jesus_n christ_n and_o therefore_o that_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o no_o church_n to_o challenge_v unto_o itself_o empire_n or_o rule_n over_o another_o 31_o we_o do_v believe_v that_o it_o be_v unlawful_a for_o any_o man_n of_o his_o own_o authority_n to_o presume_v to_o take_v upon_o he_o the_o government_n of_o the_o church_n but_o ought_v rather_o to_o
he_o to_o be_v a_o king_n to_o this_o end_n that_o he_o may_v keep_v the_o people_n under_o the_o knowledge_n fear_n and_o obedience_n of_o god_n that_o he_o may_v govern_v they_o by_o good_a and_o wholesome_a law_n and_o also_o to_o save_v and_o defend_v they_o from_o the_o enemy_n and_o in_o all_o thing_n to_o show_v himself_o so_o studious_a and_o careful_a for_o the_o common_a wealth_n that_o he_o may_v be_v honour_v and_o be_v belove_v as_o a_o father_n of_o the_o people_n for_o this_o be_v the_o only_a difference_n between_o a_o king_n &_o a_o tyrant_n the_o king_n reign_v and_o

the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n the_o author_n and_o preserver_n of_o common_a wealth_n and_o human_a society_n in_o the_o tyrant_n the_o force_n and_o violence_n of_o the_o devil_n who_o go_v about_o to_o pervert_v that_o end_n to_o the_o which_o god_n have_v ordain_v king_n and_o potentate_n hereupon_o it_o come_v that_o as_o the_o king_n be_v love_v of_o all_o man_n and_o hate_v of_o none_o

of_o the_o devil_n for_o these_o two_o thing_n can_v agree_v together_o to_o be_v a_o member_n of_o 21._o christ_n and_o a_o member_n of_o the_o devil_n also_o the_o which_o s._n augustine_n well_o understand_v this_o same_o distinction_n of_o the_o church_n that_o author_n also_o use_v write_v upon_o the_o sixty_o four_o psalm_n when_o he_o say_v the_o church_n fignify_v by_o hieruâ—…alem_n

that_o we_o believe_v the_o holy_a church_n and_o answer_n that_o which_o be_v believe_v be_v not_o see_v but_o hereby_o may_v come_v great_a inconvenience_n if_o we_o have_v not_o a_o more_o deep_a

although_o the_o church_n in_o consideration_n of_o those_o thing_n whereof_o we_o speak_v even_o now_o can_v not_o be_v see_v of_o man_n yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o have_v certain_a note_n to_o

we_o speak_v of_o the_o church_n not_o transform_v the_o same_o into_o fantastical_a imagination_n neither_o yet_o as_o it_o seem_v unto_o we_o do_v we_o give_v occasion_n to_o aâ—…ye_v man_n to_o

diverse_a of_o our_o brethren_n oftentimes_o have_v contend_v now_o therefore_o i_o come_v to_o those_o note_n and_o badge_n of_o the_o church_n the_o which_o we_o must_v diligent_o behold_v see_v out_o of_o the_o same_o there_o be_v no_o salvation_n neither_o any_o manner_n of_o thing_n which_o satan_n our_o ancient_a ennme_n have_v not_o go_v about_o at_o all_o time_n to_o counterfeit_n and_o

also_o which_o add_v ecclesiastical_a discipline_n and_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o preach_n of_o god_n word_n but_o because_o our_o iniquity_n will_v not_o suffer_v these_o two_o note_n to_o appear_v therefore_o let_v we_o contentour_n self_n with_o those_o two_o first_o that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v a_o true_a badge_n and_o mark_n of_o the_o church_n it_o may_v hereby_o appear_v that_o the_o word_n be_v compare_v unto_o seed_n therefore_o paul_n say_v that_o he_o have_v beget_v the_o corinthian_n in_o the_o lord_n that_o be_v to_o say_v by_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n and_o therefore_o in_o many_o place_n it_o be_v call_v meat_n and_o food_n according_a to_o the_o say_n of_o the_o lord_n my_o sheep_n hear_v my_o voice_n but_o they_o know_v not_o the_o voice_n of_o a_o stranger_n also_o the_o sacrament_n be_v a_o true_a note_n of_o the_o church_n because_o the_o lord_n will_v instruct_v we_o not_o only_o by_o the_o ear_n but_o also_o by_o the_o eye_n and_o other_o corporal_a sense_n in_o so_o much_o that_o he_o will_v have_v
the_o sacrament_n to_o be_v manifest_a testimony_n and_o certain_a and_o visible_a note_n of_o the_o union_n of_o the_o faithful_a first_o with_o he_o and_o second_o between_o themselves_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n let_v the_o man_n that_o be_v uncircumcised_a be_v thrust_v out_o from_o among_o the_o people_n and_o therefore_o the_o master_n of_o

afterwards_o the_o veil_n be_v take_v away_o and_o the_o close_o shut_v gate_n be_v break_v open_a the_o jew_n and_o the_o gentile_n grow_v into_o one_o body_n not_o only_o by_o the_o preach_n of_o

for_o that_o be_v to_o be_v join_v with_o baptism_n which_o paul_n speak_v of_o the_o supper_n say_v that_o he_o give_v that_o which_o he_o receive_v of_o the_o lord_n and_o this_o be_v also_o the_o very_a same_o which_o be_v say_v in_o another_o place_n that_o the_o church_n be_v found_v upon_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n that_o be_v to_o say_v upon_o christ_n jesus_n which_o be_v the_o head_n corner_n stone_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o matter_n and_o substance_n of_o the_o prophetical_a and_o apostolical_a doctrine_n and_o thus_o the_o other_o place_n of_o the_o same_o apostle_n ought_v to_o be_v understand_v that_o the_o church_n be_v the_o strength_n and_o pillar_n of_o truth_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o same_o truth_n of_o god_n as_o s._n

the_o apostle_n to_o the_o which_o we_o answer_v that_o such_o succession_n church_n ought_v to_o be_v great_o esteem_v so_o long_o as_o it_o be_v right_o consider_v and_o apply_v even_o as_o the_o

because_o they_o set_v that_o buckser_n against_o we_o as_o bringer_n in_o of_o new_a thing_n it_o be_v necessary_a that_o we_o declare_v what_o we_o think_v of_o this_o thing_n we_o say_v that_o

according_a to_o those_o thing_n whereof_o we_o have_v speak_v before_o for_o although_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v never_o a_o whit_n the_o more_o worthy_a to_o be_v believe_v for_o

what_o be_v lawful_a call_n extraordinary_a that_o this_o special_a matter_n also_o may_v be_v understand_v we_o say_v that_o there_o be_v one_o form_n and_o manner_n of_o ordinary_a call_n and_o another_o of_o extraordinary_a call_n that_o be_v ordinary_a call_n in_o the_o which_o the_o order_n appoint_v of_o god_o in_o the_o church_n be_v observe_v in_o this_o order_n the_o first_o thing_n be_v the_o examination_n 1_o of_o doctrine_n and_o manner_n the_o second_o lawful_a 2_o election_n and_o the_o last_o imposition_n of_o hand_n these_o three_o 3_o thing_n may_v be_v gather_v &_o approve_a by_o diverse_a testimony_n of_o scripture_n as_o by_o the_o election_n of_o mathias_n and_o of_o the_o seven_o 1._o deacon_n in_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o also_o by_o those_o thing_n which_o paul_n write_v in_o his_o epistle_n to_o timothy_n &_o to_o tâ—…tus_n this_o be_v the_o description_n of_o ordinary_a call_n whereby_o it_o may_v be_v gather_v that_o the_o same_o be_v a_o extraordinary_a call_n in_o the_o which_o although_o it_o be_v lawful_a by_o god_n authority_n either_o one_o of_o these_o two_o thing_n or_o both_o or_o else_o all_o be_v want_v the_o which_o kind_n of_o calling_n god_n have_v oftentimes_o use_v as_o in_o the_o scripture_n appear_v for_o who_o lay_v hand_n 14._o on_o moses_n to_o dedicate_v aaron_n who_o anoint_v the_o prophet_n esayas_n daniel_n amos_n and_o many_o other_o therefore_o when_o they_o which_o have_v authority_n abuse_v the_o power_n of_o ordinary_a call_n than_o i_o say_v it_o be_v necessary_a that_o the_o lord_n shall_v use_v extraordinary_a mean_n not_o to_o bring_v in_o confusion_n but_o to_o reform_v those_o which_o have_v pervert_v and_o deprave_a all_o thing_n in_o the_o church_n under_o the_o colour_n and_o pretence_n of_o ordinary_a succession_n and_o that_o the_o matter_n stand_v thus_o the_o write_n of_o the_o prophet_n which_o special_o inveye_v against_o the_o priest_n do_v manifest_o declare_v if_o any_o man_n object_n and_o say_v that_o they_o have_v extraordinary_a 3._o testimony_n of_o their_o calling_n confirm_v with_o certain_a miracle_n we_o answer_v that_o this_o be_v so_o far_o true_a in_o some_o that_o in_o other_o some_o it_o be_v stark_o false_a except_o we_o shall_v speak_v of_o those_o thing_n of_o the_o which_o there_o be_v no_o testimony_n and_o true_o i_o can_v tell_v whether_o there_o be_v many_o prophet_n to_o be_v find_v of_o the_o progeny_n of_o aaron_n upon_o who_o hand_n be_v lay_v after_o a_o ordinary_a manner_n if_o in_o like_a manner_n it_o be_v allege_v that_o they_o content_v themselves_o with_o the_o office_n of_o reprehend_v and_o reprove_v and_o exercise_v not_o the_o office_n of_o sacrifice_v we_o answer_v first_o of_o all_o that_o this_o be_v not_o find_v every_o where_o to_o be_v true_a for_o samuel_n which_o be_v not_o of_o the_o family_n of_o aaron_n 18._o but_o of_o chore_n sacrifice_v in_o mispa_n and_o elias_n in_o carmel_n second_o we_o answer_v that_o it_o ought_v not_o to_o seem_v strange_a that_o the_o prophet_n at_o that_o time_n extend_v not_o that_o extraordinary_a office_n to_o the_o do_v and_o fulfil_n of_o ceremony_n see_v that_o the_o same_o office_n do_v appertain_v by_o inheritance_n to_o the_o kindred_n and_o stock_n of_o levi_n which_o at_o this_o day_n be_v out_o of_o use_n thus_o far_o therefore_o concern_v these_o special_a point_n what_o be_v the_o church_n what_o be_v the_o mark_n of_o the_o same_o what_o be_v the_o vocation_n of_o pastor_n we_o have_v speak_v our_o judgement_n the_o which_o thing_n if_o you_o mean_v to_o call_v in_o question_n &_o to_o seek_v and_o try_v whether_o they_o be_v in_o our_o church_n or_o in_o our_o person_n we_o trust_v by_o the_o help_n of_o

principal_a point_n which_o concern_v 11._o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n it_o be_v manifest_a by_o those_o thing_n whereof_o we_o have_v speak_v already_o that_o we_o do_v derogate_v nor_o take_v away_o none_o of_o those_o precious_a &_o magnificent_a note_n with_o 14._o the_o which_o the_o church_n be_v beautify_v but_o we_o say_v that_o it_o be_v the_o body_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o as_z yet_o it_o be_v a_o pilgrim_n in_o this_o world_n look_v for_o the_o fullness_n of_o the_o head_n that_o be_v christ._n this_o be_v the_o house_n 4._o of_o the_o lord_n which_o be_v daily_o build_v &_o erect_v by_o little_a &_o little_a which_o be_v govern_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o as_o yet_o fight_v against_o the_o flesh_n it_o be_v purify_v but_o so_o that_o by_o little_a &_o little_o it_o 5._o may_v be_v bring_v to_o the_o perfection_n of_o that_o beauty_n &_o cleanness_n in_o the_o which_o there_o be_v neither_o spot_n nor_o wrinkle_n it_o know_v 13._o god_n but_o in_o part_n to_o be_v short_a we_o confess_v that_o out_o of_o the_o church_n there_o be_v no_o salvation_n sing_v there_o be_v life_n no_o where_o else_o than_o in_o christ_n jesus_n who_o exercise_v his_o quicken_a life_n in_o no_o other_o than_o in_o his_o member_n the_o vinion_n and_o coagmentation_n whereof_o be_v call_v the_o church_n but_o in_o this_o all_o the_o whole_a err_v controversy_n consist_v namely_o whether_o the_o church_n may_v err_v in_o this_o world_n whether_o it_o be_v subject_a unto_o the_o scripture_n or_o the_o scripture_n unto_o it_o to_o the_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v out_o of_o all_o controversy_n &_o doubt_n that_o the_o particular_a member_n of_o the_o church_n may_v err_v &_o do_v daily_o err_v both_o in_o doctrine_n &_o in_o manner_n according_a to_o this_o place_n of_o the_o apostle_n paul_n say_v we_o know_v in_o part_n and_o s._n john_n say_v if_o we_o say_v we_o have_v no_o 1._o sin_n we_o deceive_v ourselves_o if_o any_o man_n will_v go_v about_o to_o exempt_v the_o ancient_a father_n from_o that_o number_n he_o shall_v not_o be_v offend_v if_o we_o believe_v not_o his_o word_n for_o it_o be_v a_o easy_a matter_n save_v in_o reverence_n which_o we_o owe_v unto_o they_o to_o note_v many_o blemish_n &_o spot_n even_o in_o the_o great_a &_o most_o ancient_a father_n but_o we_o will_v not_o stand_v in_o repeat_v of_o they_o both_o for_o the_o honour_n which_o they_o worthy_o deserve_v &_o also_o for_o that_o the_o lord_n cardinal_n if_o i_o well_o remember_v his_o word_n think_v not_o that_o they_o ought_v rash_o and_o indifferent_o to_o be_v receive_v this_o be_v our_o opnion_n concern_v the_o particular_a member_n of_o the_o church_n who_o perfection_n notwithstanding_o be_v no_o such_o cause_n or_o

perfection_n of_o manner_n but_o and_o if_o the_o member_n of_o the_o church_n be_v consider_v more_o general_o as_o they_o be_v distribute_v into_o diocese_n &_o province_n shall_v we_o say_v that_o they_o may_v err_v moreover_o if_o i_o be_v not_o deceive_v my_o lord_n cardinal_n think_v of_o late_a that_o particular_a church_n and_o provincial_a counsel_n may_v err_v and_o have_v oftentimes_o err_v and_o true_o this_o thing_n be_v confirm_v by_o so_o long_a experience_n that_o i_o think_v not_o that_o any_o man_n in_o his_o right_a counsel_n wit_n will_v deny_v the_o same_o it_o remain_v therefore_o that_o we_o consider_v the_o whole_a church_n universal_o but_o
how_o for_o if_o we_o behold_v the_o same_o in_o the_o representation_n of_o a_o certain_a general_a council_n first_o it_o be_v not_o likely_a that_o all_o the_o force_n and_o virtue_n which_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v pour_v out_o upon_o the_o church_n be_v restrain_v to_o a_o certain_a number_n of_o prelate_n which_o be_v oftentimes_o never_o the_o more_o learned_a nor_o any_o whit_n the_o
