A85950	Vindiciæ voti. Or a vindication of the true sense of the nationall covenant, in a briefe and moderate answere to the Protestation Protested discovering the unsoundnesse of that interpretation of the covenant, and the weaknesse of the grounds there suggested for separate and independant churches.

in_o the_o world_n together_o but_o in_o distinct_a society_n for_o this_o can_v be_v why_o shall_v the_o servant_n wonder_v to_o see_v the_o wicked_a in_o the_o world_n how_o can_v the_o tare_n come_v after_o the_o wheat_n as_o they_o be_v say_v to_o do_v see_v the_o wicked_a be_v in_o the_o world_n before_o the_o godly_a in_o the_o church_n see_v verse_n 25_o 27_o why_o shall_v the_o servant_n consult_v about_o the_o wicked_a in_o the_o world_n what_o have_v they_o to_o do_v with_o those_o that_o be_v without_o yea_o if_o the_o whate_o and_o the_o tare_n be_v thus_o interpret_v there_o must_v by_o this_o parable_n be_v nothing_o but_o wheat_n in_o the_o church_n no_o chaff_n no_o judas_n no_o hypocrite_n for_o all_o but_o the_o tare_n be_v righteous_a and_o shall_v shine_v as_o the_o sun_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o father_n verse_n 41.43_o but_o why_o then_o be_v the_o field_n interpret_v to_o be_v the_o world_n a._n for_o good_a reason_n because_o the_o visible_a church_n be_v not_o to_o be_v limit_v to_o judea_n but_o extend_v to_o the_o whole_a world_n that_o will_v entertain_v it_o second_o the_o word_n of_o this_o kingdom_n ver_fw-la 19_o be_v to_o be_v preach_v in_o the_o world_n and_o by_o the_o word_n of_o this_o kingdom_n this_o kingdom_n be_v to_o be_v gather_v in_o the_o world_n in_o which_o kingdom_n shall_v appear_v the_o tare_n with_o the_o wheat_n these_o thing_n be_v so_o suitable_a to_o christ_n word_n &_o scop_n that_o i_o do_v not_o at_o all_o doubt_n but_o that_o this_o be_v the_o true_a exposition_n of_o this_o parable_n nor_o do_v the_o argument_n so_o confident_o hold_v out_o against_o it_o any_o whit_n overthrow_v it_o if_o you_o thus_o interpret_v the_o parable_n say_v some_o you_o must_v of_o necessity_n exclude_v all_o church_n gensure_n and_o so_o cross_v other_o plain_a scripture_n a._n there_o be_v no_o such_o necessity_n in_o it_o neither_o for_o its_o a_o rule_n in_o interpret_n parable_n we_o must_v not_o extend_v they_o beyond_o their_o scope_n now_o we_o must_v know_v wicked_a man_n be_v of_o two_o rank_n one_o ordinary_a that_o though_o they_o have_v no_o grace_n visible_a yet_o they_o be_v formal_a professor_n not_o guilty_a of_o crime_n other_o that_o be_v guilty_a of_o notorious_a crime_n as_o the_o incestuous_a person_n etc._n etc._n answerable_o there_o may_v be_v conceive_v a_o two_o fold_v separation_n one_o general_a of_o all_o the_o wicked_a the_o other_o special_a of_o those_o that_o be_v scandalous_a this_o parable_n treat_v of_o a_o general_a separation_n of_o all_o the_o wicked_a from_o the_o godly_a which_o be_v here_o deny_v to_o belong_v to_o the_o state_n of_o the_o church_n in_o this_o world_n not_o of_o the_o particular_a separation_n of_o the_o evil_a scandalous_a by_o some_o crime_n which_o elsewhere_o be_v require_v to_o be_v do_v by_o church_n censure_n and_o in_o this_o answer_n i_o be_o full_o confirm_v by_o this_o argument_n church_n censure_n be_v a_o ordinance_n that_o be_v to_o be_v use_v not_o only_o for_o the_o separate_n of_o tare_n but_o wheat_n for_o a_o time_n nay_o sometime_o of_o wheat_n not_o tare_n for_o excommunication_n be_v for_o those_o that_o be_v scandalous_a now_o a_o man_n may_v be_v in_o the_o judgement_n of_o charity_n godly_a in_o regard_n of_o his_o estate_n in_o general_a and_o yet_o in_o some_o particular_a scandalous_a and_o so_o need_v and_o deserve_v excommunication_n and_o a_o man_n may_v be_v so_o mere_o formal_a that_o in_o the_o judgement_n of_o charity_n he_o can_v be_v deem_v godly_a and_o yet_o he_o may_v be_v faire-conditioned_n without_o crime_n and_o without_o scandal_n here_o the_o tare_n will_v escape_v and_o the_o wheat_n undergo_v separation_n and_o therefore_o since_o the_o separation_n here_o inquire_v of_o be_v of_o another_o nature_n then_o that_o which_o be_v effect_v by_o church_n censure_n to_o exclude_v church_n censure_n by_o it_o be_v to_o rack_v it_o and_o wrest_v it_o beyond_o its_o scope_n i_o have_v stick_v the_o long_o in_o this_o because_o this_o be_v the_o cardo_n controversiae_fw-la the_o hang_v on_o which_o the_o rest_n be_v turn_v now_o i_o proceed_v he_o after_o make_v great_a complaint_n of_o the_o state_n of_o our_o church_n to_o which_o i_o so_o far_o consent_v that_o i_o can_v wish_v with_o jeremy_n my_o head_n water_n and_o my_o eye_n fountain_n to_o send_v forth_o river_n of_o tear_n for_o the_o breaker_n of_o god_n law_n but_o he_o take_v up_o afterward_o and_o tell_v we_o that_o like_o sardis_n we_o have_v a_o few_o name_n which_o have_v not_o defile_v their_o garment_n and_o the_o way_n of_o reformation_n he_o prescribe_v it_o by_o separate_v these_o few_o name_n into_o a_o new_a church_n for_o which_o he_o cite_v 2_o cor_n 6_o 17._o but_o stay_v be_v this_o christ_n way_n do_v he_o so_o counsel_v the_o church_n of_o sardis_n if_o so_o i_o will_v yield_v if_o not_o be_v not_o this_o way_n of_o his_o humane_a presumption_n exalt_v against_o the_o wisdom_n of_o christ_n now_o christ_n counsel_n be_v to_o repent_v of_o the_o evil_a hold_v fast_o the_o good_a ver_fw-la 3._o to_o strengthen_v the_o

resolution_n of_o this_o doubt_n but_o can_v never_o yet_o find_v it_o but_o this_o author_n think_v he_o have_v find_v a_o command_n 2_o cor._n 6_o 17._o come_v out_o from_o among_o they_o and_o be_v you_o separate_v a_o strange_a thing_n say_v he_o be_v you_o separate_v but_o a_o strange_a proof_n say_v i_o that_o a_o command_n to_o christian_n to_o come_v out_o from_o among_o heathen_a idolater_n and_o not_o to_o touch_v any_o sinful_a thing_n shall_v be_v think_v to_o prove_v it_o the_o duty_n of_o christian_n to_o be_v separate_a from_o formal_a profane_a christian_n and_o not_o to_o touch_v any_o holy_a thing_n with_o they_o what_o proportion_n be_v here_o for_o a_o inference_n and_o for_o my_o part_n i_o must_v confess_v i_o have_v wonder_v to_o see_v man_n so_o strict_a in_o this_o that_o they_o will_v not_o join_v in_o holy_a duty_n with_o the_o profane_a which_o yet_o i_o see_v make_v no_o scruple_n to_o join_v in_o follow_v vain_a fashion_n with_o they_o which_o be_v wont_a to_o be_v count_v a_o unclean_a thing_n but_o this_o be_v further_a confirm_v by_o a_o direction_n to_o jeremy_n jer._n 15_o 20._o if_o thou_o take_v forth_o the_o precious_a from_o the_o vile_a but_o this_o be_v likewise_o as_o unfit_a a_o shaft_n for_o his_o bow_n for_o jeremy_n live_v in_o a_o nationall_n church_n in_o which_o such_o a_o separation_n as_o here_o this_o disputer_n strive_v for_o he_o confess_v be_v not_o requisite_a nor_o be_v it_o practise_v by_o isaiah_n 8_o 18._o though_o he_o have_v occasion_n or_o by_o any_o other_o i_o marvel_v then_o that_o this_o author_n or_o any_o other_o shall_v bring_v this_o place_n of_o jeremy_n to_o prove_v their_o separation_n there_o be_v a_o doctrinal_a separation_n which_o be_v require_v in_o every_o minister_n if_o he_o divide_v the_o word_n of_o truth_n aright_o and_o that_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o as_o well_o as_o jeremy_n and_o the_o godly_a minister_n do_v careful_o perform_v but_o for_o such_o a_o separation_n as_o this_o protestor_n require_v here_o can_v be_v no_o ground_n for_o which_o they_o affirm_v be_v not_o require_v from_o the_o church_n of_o the_o jew_n but_o it_o be_v further_o affirm_v that_o after_o such_o a_o apostasy_n as_o we_o church_n must_v be_v gather_v anew_o as_o when_o the_o apostle_n plant_v church_n where_o the_o gospel_n have_v not_o be_v preach_v this_o be_v only_o dictate_v without_o proof_n and_o yet_o be_v neither_o true_a nor_o probable_a there_o be_v so_o wide_a a_o difference_n between_o our_o nation_n now_o and_o when_o joseph_n of_o arimathea_n first_o plant_v the_o gospel_n in_o it_o when_o it_o be_v pure_o paganish_v beside_o if_o this_o be_v requisite_a then_o must_v god_n also_o give_v minister_n qualify_v to_o gather_v church_n and_o not_o only_o to_o go_v on_o in_o the_o ordinary_a work_n of_o the_o ministry_n that_o be_v minister_n endue_v with_o extraordinary_a gift_n have_v immediate_a calling_n to_o preach_v where_o they_o will_v without_o the_o leave_n of_o man_n with_o extraordinary_a assistance_n without_o which_o ordinary_o no_o liberty_n can_v be_v expect_v to_o gather_v church_n till_o therefore_o i_o see_v the_o like_a gift_n and_o calling_n in_o some_o measure_n i_o shall_v not_o believe_v the_o like_a work_n or_o duty_n to_o lie_v on_o minister_n now_o but_o some_o may_v ask_v what_o shall_v then_o be_v
