is an instruction of others so that yt cannot be called the Lords pray●…r BARTLET But this troubleth vs that you hold yt not lawfull to say oue●… those wordes in prayer c. GREN. You see that we denie no man to vse the verie wordes all o●… anie part of them in prayer by explication or application according to our present occasions as anie other Scripture COOP. What is the meaning of that explication or application GREN. Explication application is meant thus as when I desire that the Pope such Ministers of poperie might be suppressed I say Do this Lord for th'aduancement of thy kingdome Let thy Kingdome come c. And without this explication or application to say ouer the vvhole vvordes conteyning all things that can be praid were but abuse of that forme of prayer seing they that so praye cannot vnderstand what he that is the mo●…th of all asketh for we cannot pray for all thing at once but that which is within the compasse of our faith otherwise yt is but babling COOP. For the whole Church yt may be said ouer as a praier GREN. All praier must be of faith for such things as are within our knowledge and as we knowe the Church to be in present neede of and those things to be particularly craued at GODS hand els we do but babble as the papists do COOP. I grāt that al our praiers ought to be of faith expressing our present necessities Yet ought we euerie day to say ouer the Lords praier for the whole Church GREN. This is popish Doctrine such praier were superstitious babling c. The righteous me●… they shall iudge them after the maner of 〈◊〉 and after the maner of murtherers for they are harlots and blo●…d is in thier b●…nds Ezek. 23. 45. Before we can iudge the false Church it is expedient that we discerne the true Church which is thus described in the scriptures THe true planted and rightlie established Church of CHRIST is a companie of Faithfull people seperated from the vnbeleuers and heathen of the land gathered in the name of CHRIST whome they truelie worship and redily obey as thier only King Priest and Prophet ioyned together as members of one bodie ordered and gouerned by such officers and lawes as CHRIST in his last will and Testament hath therevnto ordeyned all and each one of them standing in and for thier Christiā libertie to practise whatsoener God hath cōmaunded reuealed vnto them in his holie word within the limites of their callings executing the lordes iudgements against all trangressió and disobedience which ariseth among them and cutting it off accordinglie by the power which thier lord and King CHRIST IESVS hath comitted vnto them Now who so shall measure thies parish assemblies as they generally stand in England by this rule shall euidently finde them in euerie point so transgressing and defectiue as he that hath eyes to see or but a will to search cannot be deceaued or mistake these parish Churches for the true churches of Christ. Thies parishes consisting of a company of prophane ignorant people gathered by the sounde of a Bell in the name of Antichrist worshipping God after a false Idolatrous maner denying all obedience vnto CHRIST in his 3. offices as thier only King Priest and Prophet lyuing in disorder among themselues standing in confusion being disordered and ouerruled by such lawes officers as the Pope left and not as CHRIST left standing in bondage to the Romi●…h courts cannons hauing no power to execute the lordes iudgements or to redresse the least sinne or transgression amongst them-selues but are driuen to the Comissaries Courts and so cast out SATAN by the power of SATAN 1. Thier Churches consiste not of a company of faithfull people but of a multitude of prophane people Therefore they are not the true Church 2. They haue made no seperation from the heathen of the land but all are receiued reteyned in the bozome of thier Churches Therefore c. 3. They are not gathered in the name of Christ but in the name of Antichrist whom they obey as shall afterward appeare Therefor c. 4.
