only_o use_v two_o reason_n the_o first_o be_v that_o christ_n our_o lord_n will_v have_v the_o whole_a company_n of_o christian_n upon_o earth_n ever_o to_o be_v and_o remain_v one_o flock_n this_o i_o conceiv_o can_v never_o be_v except_o they_o be_v all_o under_o one_o visible_a pastor_n nor_o can_v it_o suffice_v to_o say_v here_o that_o they_o be_v all_o under_o one_o christ_n and_o one_o god_n for_o this_o can_v never_o make_v they_o all_o either_o real_o to_o be_v or_o true_o to_o be_v call_v one_o flock_n on_o earth_n all_o the_o kingdom_n and_o people_n in_o the_o world_n however_o they_o be_v govern_v be_v under_o one_o god_n the_o supreme_a king_n as_o the_o whole_a church_n be_v say_v to_o be_v under_o one_o christ_n but_o this_o make_v they_o not_o to_o be_v one_o kingdom_n nay_o those_o that_o have_v not_o a_o visible_a king_n be_v not_o any_o kingdom_n at_o all_o but_o a_o aristocracy_n only_o or_o commonwealth_n or_o wild_a straggler_n but_o if_o you_o will_v have_v no_o visible_a flock_n of_o christian_n upon_o earth_n you_o teach_v the_o quaker_n doctrine_n and_o abolish_v all_o government_n it_o be_v certain_a then_o that_o if_o the_o ecclesiastical_a government_n of_o each_o place_n do_v end_n in_o the_o bishop_n of_o that_o respective_a diocese_n as_o the_o dissuader_n talk_v that_o there_o must_v be_v then_o as_o many_o flock_n of_o christian_n as_o there_o be_v bishop_n upon_o earth_n which_o be_v not_o subordinate_a all_o of_o they_o to_o one_o general_a pastor_n can_v never_o bring_v their_o flock_n into_o one_o second_o be_v that_o such_o a_o polity_n and_o government_n must_v ever_o be_v preserve_v in_o christ_n church_n which_o himself_o set_v up_o and_o practise_v this_o be_v most_o certain_a for_o if_o that_o polity_n or_o body_n be_v change_v it_o be_v no_o more_o christ_n polity_n or_o christ_n body_n but_o that_o other_o whatever_o it_o be_v which_o be_v introduce_v in_o his_o place_n and_o the_o body_n of_o that_o man_n or_o man_n that_o introduce_v it_o from_o whence_o also_o it_o receiu_v its_o name_n as_o from_o luther_n his_o follower_n be_v call_v lutheran_n and_o calvinist_n from_o calvin_n and_o consequent_o all_o the_o law_n which_o do_v ever_o follow_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o government_n must_v alter_v with_o it_o thus_o it_o be_v with_o we_o here_o in_o england_n the_o other_o day_n when_o our_o government_n be_v change_v we_o be_v no_o more_o the_o body_n of_o william_n the_o conqueror_n or_o any_o polity_n institute_v by_o he_o but_o another_o polity_n or_o body_n set_v up_o by_o the_o rump-parliament_n and_o all_o our_o law_n become_v then_o liable_a to_o their_o arbitrary_a interpretation_n to_o be_v wrest_v as_o themselves_o please_v and_o they_o have_v be_v if_o we_o have_v continue_v a_o while_n long_o in_o that_o sad_a condition_n by_o degree_n utter_o abolish_v all_o this_o not_o our_o reason_n only_o but_o heavy_a experience_n will_v acknowledge_v for_o a_o certain_a truth_n but_o christ_n our_o lord_n do_v assure_o both_o set_v up_o and_o practice_v himself_o a_o visible_a sovereignty_n over_o all_o the_o whole_a flock_n of_o christian_n which_o he_o gather_v together_o from_o other_o visible_a company_n of_o jew_n and_o pagan_n and_o therefore_o must_v there_o still_o and_o ever_o be_v some_o one_o visible_a pastor_n over_o this_o one_o flock_n unto_o the_o world_n end_n for_o if_o that_o polity_n or_o body_n change_n then_o be_v it_o no_o more_o christ_n body_n but_o another_o thing_n and_o his_o law_n and_o religion_n will_v be_v then_o interpret_v according_a to_o the_o pleasure_n of_o those_o who_o first_o reject_v the_o government_n and_o of_o their_o follower_n afterward_o unto_o infinite_a and_o endless_a misery_n and_o that_o this_o polity_n or_o government_n be_v ever_o to_o remain_v in_o christ_n church_n on_o earth_n may_v be_v gather_v first_o by_o this_o that_o every_o wise_a legislatour_n know_v well_o enough_o that_o all_o his_o people_n under_o he_o look_v upon_o his_o example_n as_o their_o rule_n to_o steer_v by_o ever_o after_o so_o long_o as_o they_o mean_v to_o preserv_v his_o way_n and_o be_v of_o his_o body_n thus_o when_o any_o state_n be_v once_o found_v either_o in_o aristocracy_n democracy_n or_o monarchy_n the_o founder_n of_o such_o a_o state_n have_v no_o need_n to_o tell_v the_o

by_o they_o will_v natural_o follow_v his_o step_n therein_o so_o long_o as_o they_o mean_v to_o preserv_v the_o state_n he_o have_v establish_v now_o the_o apostle_n and_o all_o his_o disciple_n

all_o and_o therefore_o as_o soon_o as_o our_o lord_n speak_v to_o they_o of_o his_o own_o departure_n they_o begin_v all_o of_o they_o natural_o to_o think_v of_o one_o who_o shall_v succeed_v in_o
