by_o the_o one_o and_o the_o selfsame_o faith_n with_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n and_o to_o be_v brief_a we_o detest_v all_o those_o that_o any_o way_n oppugn_v the_o deity_n of_o the_o holy_a

hitherto_o we_o have_v speak_v of_o god_n both_o as_o far_o as_o we_o be_v able_a to_o attain_v unto_o be_v the_o light_n of_o nature_n &_o also_o as_o he_o be_v lay_v before_o we_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n to_o be_v three_o in_o person_n and_o one_o in_o substance_n now_o it_o follow_v that_o we_o entreat_v of_o his_o attribute_n whereby_o in_o a_o sort_n we_o be_v teach_v what_o manner_n of_o god_n he_o be_v 1_o although_o there_o be_v no_o composition_n in_o god_n nor_o yet_o any_o accidental_a quality_n see_v he_o be_v a_o substance_n most_o single_a and_o every_o way_n one_o yet_o to_o the_o end_n that_o according_a unto_o our_o capacity_n we_o may_v understande_v what_o a_o god_n he_o be_v he_o himself_o in_o the_o scripture_n be_v accustom_v to_o attribute_v unto_o himself_o many_o thing_n as_o quality_n 2_o by_o attribute_n in_o this_o place_n then_o we_o understande_v the_o essential_a propriety_n of_o the_o deity_n which_o be_v attribute_v unto_o he_o in_o the_o scripture_n 3_o these_o thing_n be_v so_o attribute_v unto_o he_o that_o notwithstanding_o they_o place_v nothing_o in_o he_o that_o be_v compound_v or_o diverse_a from_o his_o substance_n but_o look_v whatsoever_o they_o point_v he_o out_o to_o be_v the_o very_a same_o he_o be_v in_o his_o own_o most_o simple_a substance_n 4_o for_o both_o these_o propriety_n and_o also_o their_o action_n do_v in_o very_a deed_n differ_v no_o whit_n from_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o godhead_n but_o only_o in_o some_o consideration_n we_o be_v to_o hold_v they_o diverse_a both_o from_o the_o divine_a substance_n and_o also_o the_o on_o from_o the_o other_o 5_o now_o these_o thing_n be_v attribute_v unto_o the_o deity_n sometime_o substantive_o &_o somtim_n adjective_o as_o they_o speak_v that_o

yet_o creature_n may_v be_v partaker_n of_o they_o not_o proper_o but_o by_o analogy_n and_o a_o kind_n of_o agreement_n and_o that_o not_o essential_o but_o in_o regard_n of_o quality_n and_o but_o in_o part_n neither_o such_o be_v wisdom_n goodness_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o that_o kind_n therefore_o osiander_n err_v gross_o who_o teach_v that_o the_o essential_a righteousness_n of_o god_n be_v

deity_n be_v pour_v by_o personal_a union_n into_o the_o flesh_n which_o

fall_n of_o mankind_n by_o the_o merciful_a voice_n of_o god_n have_v and_o will_v unto_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n consent_v together_o in_o the_o profession_n of_o his_o true_a worship_n 4_o now_o in_o asmuch_o as_o all_o those_o who_o have_v give_v their_o name_n to_o be_v of_o this_o meeting_n have_v not_o either_o do_v the_o same_o unfainedlie_o or_o show_v that_o constancy_n that_o have_v be_v meet_a by_o reason_n that_o satan_n never_o cease_v to_o sow_v tare_n in_o the_o field_n of_o the_o lord_n hence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o man_n have_v be_v always_o enforce_v to_o take_v the_o church_n sometime_o in_o a_o more_o general_a sometime_o in_o a_o more_o special_a signification_n 5_o the_o church_n therefore_o be_v general_o call_v the_o congregation_n of_o all_o those_o who_o profess_v true_a religion_n whether_o they_o do_v it_o unfainedlie_o and_o persevere_v therein_o or_o hypocriticallie_o and_o fall_v away_o from_o the_o same_o in_o special_a it_o be_v

of_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o jew_n only_o 8_o and_o although_o god_n for_o many_o age_n have_v separate_v the_o gentile_n who_o the_o apostle_n therefore_o affirm_v to_o be_v without_o god_n &_o

and_o strive_v with_o satan_n and_o the_o remnant_n of_o their_o flesh_n by_o the_o triumphant_a be_v mean_v those_o who_o bless_a spirit_n be_v already_o gather_v unto_o the_o lord_n even_o until_o

that_o holiness_n whereby_o this_o catholic_n church_n which_o be_v also_o invisible_a in_o that_o sense_n that_o we_o have_v speak_v be_v sever_v from_o the_o world_n if_o it_o be_v consider_v in_o respect_n of_o the_o purity_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o truth_n be_v altogether_o without_o spot_n or_o wrinkle_n or_o if_o it_o be_v consider_v not_o as_o it_o be_v in_o itself_o but_o according_a unto_o the_o belief_n that_o be_v yield_v unto_o this_o true_a and_o wholesome_a doctrine_n we_o hold_v again_o that_o the_o force_n of_o that_o truth_n be_v so_o great_a that_o it_o be_v

but_o if_o the_o church_n be_v respect_v not_o universal_o but_o particular_o that_o be_v according_a as_o it_o have_v diverse_a assembly_n here_o and_o there_o gather_v together_o then_o indeed_o it_o may_v often_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o some_o particular_a church_n may_v err_v yea_o in_o some_o fundamental_a point_n either_o in_o part_n or_o in_o whole_a yet_o so_o as_o the_o elect_n do_v always_o return_v unto_o the_o way_n neither_o can_v those_o particular_a spot_v that_o cleave_v unto_o it_o for_o a_o time_n make_v the_o universal_a church_n to_o lose_v her_o natural_a beauty_n 14_o we_o confess_v to_o speak_v nothing_o here_o of_o the_o corruption_n of_o manner_n that_o this_o may_v come_v to_o pass_v much_o more_o if_o we_o several_o consider_v the_o member_n of_o particular_a church_n for_o such_o be_v the_o weakness_n of_o man_n judgement_n even_o in_o the_o dear_a saint_n of_o god_n that_o you_o can_v find_v any_o so_o endue_v with_o the_o perfect_a knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n but_o he_o do_v stagger_v in_o some_o thing_n especial_o when_o the_o lord_n be_v provoke_v by_o the_o sin_n of_o man_n do_v give_v efficacy_n and_o force_n unto_o the_o spirit_n of_o error_n 15_o although_o that_o the_o catholic_a church_n can_v never_o fall_v away_o from_o the_o truth_n yet_o both_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n together_o with_o the_o holy_a story_n in_o general_a both_o before_o and_o after_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n have_v foretell_v and_o these_o very_a time_n wherein_o we_o live_v do_v testify_v that_o it_o have_v often_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o great_a part_n of_o particular_a church_n and_o man_n fall_v away_o yea_o and_o strive_v against_o the_o truth_n the_o light_n of_o the_o church_n seem_v for_o a_o time_n though_o not_o utterlie_o yet_o in_o a_o manner_n to_o be_v clean_o extinguish_v 16_o the_o true_a mark_n therefore_o of_o the_o visible_a church_n can_v not_o be_v the_o multitude_n or_o personal_a succession_n but_o the_o doctrine_n true_o teach_v out_o of_o the_o write_a word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o lawful_a administration_n that_o be_v such_o as_o be_v agreeable_a unto_o god_n ordinance_n of_o the_o sacrament_n to_o wit_n of_o baptism_n and_o of_o the_o lord_n supper_n 17_o these_o two_o note_n do_v depend_v upon_o the_o lawful_a form_n that_o be_v such_o as_o be_v prescribe_v in_o

first_o of_o all_o this_o shameful_a error_n have_v take_v root_n in_o that_o romish_a false-church_n namely_o that_o they_o count_v the_o holy_a function_n of_o the_o church_n among_o sacrament_n upon_o the_o number_n of_o which_o function_n also_o they_o themselves_o can_v agree_v 2_o this_o which_o false_o they_o call_v the_o sacrament_n of_o order_n some_o do_v divide_v into_o the_o high_a and_o the_o low_a order_n other_o more_o arrogantlie_o unto_o the_o rule_n and_o govern_v or_o into_o the_o minister_a &_o serve_v degree_n not_o altogether_o without_o reason_n because_o some_o of_o they_o be_v under_o the_o authority_n &_o subjection_n of_o other_o yet_o by_o a_o vain_a &_o frivolous_a distinction_n see_v they_o have_v take_v away_o as_o shall_v be_v show_v the_o thing_n themselves_o and_o do_v only_o retain_v the_o name_n that_o thereby_o they_o may_v cloak_v themselves_o under_o the_o counterfeit_a show_n of_o antiquity_n 3_o this_o roll_a order_n they_o attribute_v unto_o their_o bishop_n whereof_o also_o they_o make_v diverse_a degree_n and_o their_o elder_n unto_o who_o also_o they_o do_v assign_v their_o ruler_n call_v their_o arch-elders_a the_o rest_n they_o contain_v under_o the_o name_n of_o the_o serve_a order_n 4_o other_o do_v make_v the_o ecclesiastical_a lordship_n and_o jurisdiction_n to_o be_v above_o the_o order_n themselves_o and_o so_o they_o make_v the_o high_a order_n to_o be_v priest_n deacon_n and_o subdeacons_n the_o rest_n which_o be_v of_o the_o inferior_a order_n they_o name_v ostiaries_n or_o doorkeeper_n reader_n exorcist_n and_o acolythes_n or_o such_o as_o in_o time_n past_o attend_v upon_o the_o minister_n of_o these_o we_o will_v speak_v severallie_o lay_v down_o this_o foundation_n that_o none_o of_o these_o function_n be_v find_v in_o the_o romish_a fals-church_n but_o only_o in_o name_n concern_v bishop_n 5_o now_o as_o touch_v bishop_n see_v that_o by_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n a_o bishop_n pastor_n and_o elder_a we_o speak_v now_o of_o those_o elder_n that_o labour_v in_o the_o word_n be_v the_o one_o and_o the_o same_o in_o respect_n of_o their_o function_n whereas_o in_o the_o romish_a counterfeit_a church_n to_o be_v a_o bishop_n and_o to_o be_v a_o elder_a be_v altogether_o diverse_a thing_n so_o that_o there_o be_v many_o bishop_n there_o which_o neither_o be_v nor_o never_o be_v elder_n who_o they_o call_v priest_n and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n there_o be_v many_o and_o almost_o infinite_a elder_n which_o neither_o be_v nor_o ever_o shall_v be_v bishop_n it_o follow_v that_o among_o they_o there_o be_v no_o bishop_n of_o god_n ordinance_n 6_o see_v that_o none_o by_o god_n word_n be_v call_v a_o bishop_n in_o respect_n of_o his_o fellow_n brethren_n which_o be_v all_o equal_a among_o themselves_o but_o in_o regard_n of_o
