A plain and brief discovery of those two beasts that are written, Revel. 13.  
AND To show what dishonour and disgrace the Clergy bring against Christ and his glorious Church in reading some part of the Service-Book.  
Again I praise God I have showed in brief the true signification of Christ and his glorious Church, with those holy Ordinances that do belong unto it.  
Gathered and directed by that grace God hath give to me James Hunt.  
All glory be to God on high.  
Printed for J.H. 1643.   

IT is written, Eph. 5.13. All things that are reproved ●e ●●a●●●nifest by the light. Now by that glorious light God hath given to me, I will show you the signification of those two beasts that are written, Rev. 13. The first beast riseth out of the sea, which signifieth the Pope and all his Clergy, which have gathered to themselves so many false doctrines, that the Spirit of God compares it unto the deep and broad sea. But the second beast he cometh up out of the earth, which signifieth the Bishops here in England and all their Clergy, which have gathered to themselves so many false written books, that for their number they may be compared unto the stars in the firmament, which false written books do arise and proceed from the devil, who is called the god of the earth, and by those false written books the Bishops and their Clergy have deceived all those people that are as yet held under their power: but the people whom the Clergy have blinded, they cry out against me saying, who hath made thee a Judge or a Preacher. My answer is, God my glorious Father, and Christ Jesus my redeemer: they have raised me up by the virtue and divine power of their Word, for to be a Judge and a Preacher, for to judge and divide betwixt truth and error, light and darkness: for I hope all that shall read this book they may understand from whence my judgement doth arise and proceed. Again it is said, the second beast he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him. Now I will prove, that the Pope and his Clergy, and the Bishops and their Clergy, their power not long ago was both as one. First for the Pope, he hath made the people believe, that no man can be a true and sound Preacher, but he must be brought up in the Universities, and so say, the Bishops and their Clergy: but alas they are deceived upon both sides: for God hath laid the Gospel in such a complete way, that if there be a mystery or parable that speaketh something dark in one place, a man may find two or three places for to prove and justify what that dark mystery signifieth, and that is the true and perfect way to open and unfold the mysteries of God to the true meaning and signification, and I praise God I can prove these things may be done without the help of the Latin or Greek tongue; for I can prove it by plain truth of Scripture. Again for the Pope, he will not allow that any man shall be a Preacher for to declare his mind to the people, but first he must be sworn for to observe those Canons and articles that the Pope or some of his Assigns shall set forth. The very same power did belong to the Bishops here in England.  
Again for the Pope, all Magistrates and Churchwardens are sworn for to uphold the Pope and his Clergy in their way, that if any man reprove them, for to say, their power or their doctrine is false: then the Magistrates cast him into prison, or else the Churchwardens will complain of him in the Spiritual Court: and when he comes there, if he do not play the hypocrite, and say he is sorry for that he said, and fee the Officers with money, he shall be cast into prison; if not, put to death. The very same power not long ago did belong to the Bishops and their Clergy here in England. Again for the Pope, he and all his Clergy have deceived the people, in making the people believe that the old law is a rule of obedience for the people to be led and guided by, and so say the Bishops and all their Clergy. But they are deceived on both sides in their judgement: for I can prove, the more they bring the people under the obedience of the old Law, the more they bring them under the bondage of the devil. My first proof is Heb. 2.14. Forasmuch then as the children were made partakers of flesh and blood, Christ likewise took part of the same, that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil, and so to deliver all those who through fear of death were all their life time subject to bondage. This place of Scripture doth plainly signify, that all those people that were under the old Law, they were under a yoke of bondage until Christ freed them by his suffering on the cross. Again, Rom. 7.6. the Apostle saith plainly, and so say I, Now we are delivered from the Law, that being dead, wherein we were held as under the chains and bondage of Satan, that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter: that is, in newness of the Gospel, and not in the oldness of the law. Thus I have proved in brief, that the old Law is the spirit of bondage, and so is the devil. And hereby I have overthrown the Pope and his Clergy; and the Bishops & their Clergy in their judgement, because they say, the old law is a rule of obedience. Again, I will show you in brief, that S. Paul's false zeal was to the old Law when he was a persecuter of Christ, for he saith plainly conserning his zeal persecuting the Church, Touching the righteousness that is in the Law, blameless, Phil. 3. Thus I have proved in brief, that S. Paul's false zeal was to the old Law when he was a persecutor of the Church of Christ, and in so doing, let any man judge if he were not an enemy to God, and a friend unto the Devil; and so will all those Divines be found and proved so to be, that keep the people under the obedience of the old Law. Again, I say, all those Magistrates and Churchwardens will be found to be Gods great enemies, that shall strive to uphold the Clergy in their wickedness; and thus I have proved in brief, and shall prove again at large, that those two beasts signify the Pope and his Clergy, and the Bishops here in England, and their Clergy, which by their false power as conserning Church government, and false doctrine, they keep the people under the bondage and captivity of the devil; and the plain truth is, many of the Magistrates and Churchwardens do yet uphold them in their abominable wickedness, for they will not suffer the Prophets of God to reprove them for their false power, and their false doctrines, which is abominable in the sight of our glorious God. My text saith, All things that are reproved are made manifest by the light, wherefore I say again, by that glorious light God hath given to me, I will show you in brief what dishonour & disgrace the Clergy bring against Christ and his glorious Church, in reading of some part of the Service book, for the Clergy say we are all miserable sinners, and there is no health in us; now if there be no health in us, than we are all reprobates; for, Know ye not that jesus Christ is in ye except ye be reprobates, 2 Cor. 13.5. Hereby I understand, that if Christ by the virtue of his word doth shine in his people, than I am sure there is some health in us, but the Clergy say, there is no health in us: therefore let any man judge if they do not accuse the people to be in the state of reprobation. Again, the Clergy say, that we are all miserable sinners: but if I ask any of them if the body of Christ be a body of sin and misery, they will answer no: Why then my answer to them again is in Ephes. 1.22. God gave his son Christ to be head over all things to the Church, which is his body, the fullness of him that filleth all in all. This place of Scripture doth prove and signify, that all those people that will be reconciled to Christ and to the new Testament, their spirits shall be joined to the glorious and mystical body of Christ, and thereby they shall be set free from the bondage of sin and misery. Again, the Clergy by reading of some part of the Service Book, they bring the people under the obedience of the old Law, which is the bondage of death and corruption Again, the Clergy in reading of the Service Book they teach the people to worship God in a false way, for they teach the people to fall down on their knees, and pray for Christ's Church militant here on earth, which is a vain and false worship; for they have no Scripture in the new Testament to prove, that Christ hath any such Church: but I can prove by plain truth of Scripture, that Christ hath a glorious and triumphing Church here on earth: but that the Clergy teach the people to deny: for they say, that Christ's Church is militant here on earth, but glorious and triumphing in the world to come, but not here upon earth. But I say plainly, that is a doctrine of devils: for the devil he strives by his carnal ministers for to teach the people to worship and obey that which is false, and to deny that which is just and true: for I will prove in brief, that Christ hath a glorious and triumphing Church here on earth: for Christ saith, Joh. 12. Father glorify thy name, than came a loud voice from heaven saying, I have glorified it, and will glorify it again: and Joh. 17. Christ saith plainly, The glory which thou gavest me I have given unto them, that they may be all one in us, that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. Again, 2. Cor. 2.14. the Apostle saith expressly. Now thanks be unto God, who always causeth us to triumph in Christ Jesus: this word always plainly signifieth here in this world, and in the world to come forever. Thus I praise God I have proved in brief, that Christ hath a glorious and triumphing Church here on earth, and Christ will have his glorious and triumphing Church by degrees for to flourish over the face of the whole world, which will be to the overthrow of the devil and the false Church: and I praise God I have showed you what dishonour and disgrace the Clergy bring against Christ and his Church in reading of the Service Book. My text saith, All things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: now by that light God hath given unto me, I understand the Pope and his Clergy in their Service Book they have but the Lord's Prayer and some of the holy Epistles of S. Paul, and other parts of the Gospel, and thereby they have set a gloss and a glorious colour upon their Service Book, that so they may the more closely and craftily blind and deceive the people, for it is said in the 13. Verse, that the beast maketh fire come down from heaven, and deceiveth them that dwell on the earth: I understand the fire that cometh out of heaven is those parts of the Gospel which the Pope and the Bishops have caused to be put in their Service book: for the Word of God which is revealed in the New Testament doth signify the Holy Ghost and fire. Again I say plainly, that the divine power of the World of God in the Gospel of Christ will be as a flaming and consuming fire, for to burn up all those errors and false traditions which the Pope and the Bishops have invented in their Service book. Again I say, that the divine power of the Word of God in the doctrine of the new Testament will be a flaming and a consuming fire for to burn and consume all false power, as touching Church government and false doctrines, which is contrary to the true worship and Word of God. Again, I understand, that my glorious God hath appointed and commanded, that for preaching and Church-government that must be held forth for to gather the people into the mystical body of Christ. But for those two beasts, the Pope and his Clergy, and the Bishops here in England, and their Clergy by their false doctrine and false power they keep the people out of Christ, as I shall prove in brief: for the Apostle saith expressly, 2 Cor. 5.17. If any man be in Christ he is a new creature, and to be a new creature is to be reconciled to Christ, and to the new Testament. Old things are passed away, behold all things are become new. I understand the old things that are passed away is the old Law and Testament. For as circumcision and the blood of bulls and goats did belong to the old Law and Testament, which Christ hath abolished. Now on the other side, Baptism and the Bread and Wine, they are two holy Ordinances which do belong to the body of Christ, and to the second covenant of grace. Now these things which I have proved in brief will overthrow the Bishops and all their clergy: for their order is to read a chapter in the old Testament, and then another in the new, and when they are in their pulpits, they join in their doctrine the old Law and Testament, and the new together, as if they were both as one: and in so doing they have blinded and deceived all those people that are as yet held under their power: for if there be any Divine or other man that can find any one place of Scripture in the new Testament for to prove, as he thinks, that the ministration of the old Law and Testament is to be joined to the glorious body of Christ, if I cannot find five other plain truths to prove that he is deceived in his judgement, I will desire no mercy, but I will be content to be put to death under the judgement of a Jury of twelve honest men: but what saith the Scripture, Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the free woman, Gal. 4. the son of the bondwoman plainly signifieth the Devil and the old Law: for the old Law is the spirit of bondage, and so is the devil, as I in this book have plainly proved. Now I will show you in brief of God's love and mercy. For if the Pope and his Clergy, and the Bishops and their Clergy will forsake the old Law, and their false power, and false doctrines and traditions, which is contrary to the true worship and will of God, and then be reconciled to Christ and the second covenant of grace, God is rich in mercy to forgive them and receive them into his everlasting kingdom of glory. Wherefore I will conclude with S. Paul, as it is written 1 Tim. 2.3. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God out Saviour, who will have all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth, for there is one God, and one Mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself ransom for all to be testified in due time, whereunto I am ordained a Preacher, I say again, whereunto God my glorious Father hath ordained me to be a Preacher, I speak the truth in Christ and lie not, for the spirit of God draws but one way, that is to Christ, and to the obedience of the new Covenant, my text saith, All things that reproveth are made manifest by the light, Now by that light God hath given to me I shall reprove the Anabaptist, which will not allow young children to be baptised, but by the help of God I will prove in brief by human reason, and spiritual signification of Scripture, that they are deceived in their judgement, my first proof is Heb 10. For the Law having a shadow of good things to come, which doth signify that the old Law was a type and shadow of the New, for the Apostle saith plainly concerning the Jews which were under the Old Law, he saith they were baptised to Moses in the cloud, 1 Cor. 10.2. the cloud signifieth the Old Law, now I understand that Moses did not baptise with water, but to signify that circumcision was a type of Baptism, and young children were circumcised at eight days old. Again, I find it written Acts 16. concerning the Jailor and Lydia, which were converted by S. Paul, it is said they and all their household were baptised.  
Now what man is able to gainsay but those two persons might have young children that were baptised by S. Paul: Again, Acts 2. when the Apostle told the Jews that they had crucified the Lord of life, they were pricked in their hearts, and said, Men and brethren, what shall we do? Peter answered, Repent and be baptised, and ye shall receive the gift of the holy Ghost, for the promise is to you and to your children; these places of Scripture doth plainly signify that all young children of faithful parents are to be baptised to the mystical body of Christ. Again, Christ said, Suffer little children to come to me, and forbidden them not, for to such belongeth the kingdom of God: Mark this point I beseech you, for Christ saith plainly, that the kingdom of God doth belong to young children, and Christ and his Gospel signify Christ and his Kingdom. Now if I ask the Anabaptists if they do believe the Baptism with water to be an holy Ordinance, which doth belong to the body of Christ and to the second Covenant of grace, they will answer, yea; why then my answer to them is in brief, that all those that will not suffer young children to be baptised, they do exclude them from the mystical body of Christ, and from the second Covenant of grace; I pray God give all such people grace to forsake that wicked practice, or else they will draw down the fiery wrath of God upon their own souls, and thus I praise God I have proved in brief by humane reason, and by plain signification of Scripture, that young children must be baptised. Again, I have showed you, that those two beasts doth signify the Pope and his clergy, and the Bishops and their Clergy, that their false power are both as one.  
It is written john 16.13, 14. Christ saith plainly, When he the Spirit of truth is come he will guide you into all truth, he shall glorify me, for he shall receive of mine and shall show it unto you, mark I beseech you the commanding power of God, for Christ Jesus who in the true and perfect God, he saith expressly, that the spirit of truth shall receive of his, and shall show it unto you: Now by that spirit of truth which Christ hath given unto me, I will show you in brief the true signification of Christ and his glorious Church with those holy Ordinances which doth belong unto it, for there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the holy Ghost, and these three are one, 1 john 5.1. the Word signifieth Christ Jesus who is the second person in Trinity, and all those people that will be reconciled to Christ and to the divine power of his word, their spirits shall be joined to the glorious Trinity, my first proof is in 2 Cor. 13.5. Examine yourselves whether ye be in the faith, know you not that Christ Jesus is in you, except ye be reprobates: But how is Christ in his people? my answer is, by the virtue and divine power of his word which is revealed in his Gospel. Again, 1 Cor. 6.19. What, know you not that your body is the temple of the holy Ghost which is in you. Again, Ephes. 4.4. There is one body, one spirit, one faith, one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all: These three places of Scripture doth plainly prove and justify, that all those people that will be reconciled to Christ, and to the obedience of his word, which is revealed in the New Testament, their spirits shall be joined to the holy and glorious Trinity, Father, Son, and holy Ghost, which shall be all ingraffed as in one man, though they shall be in number thousands of thousands, and thus I praise God I have showed you in brief the true foundation of true and sound Religion, which by the help of God I dare boldly say, that the Devil and all his carnal Ministers shall never be able for to overthrow or shake this foundation. Now by the help of God I will show you in brief, how and after what manner children are to be baptised, for I think it fit that the Minister first read that portion of Scripture Gal. 3.21. For if there had been a Law given that could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the Law, but the Scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by the faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe, but before faith came, that is, before Christ came we were kept under the Law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed, which faith was revealed by Christ and the twelve Apostles, For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus, for as many of you as have been baptised into Christ have put on Christ, and then after this Scripture is read, I think it fit for the Minister to read the Lords Prayer, and then the Minister shall baptise the child, naming it by the name as the Father of the child, or some other in his stead shall give it, and shall sprinkle water on the face of the child, saying, I baptise thee in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Ghost, for a seal and pledge that for ever hereafter thou shalt not be ashamed to fight under the banner of the suffering of the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, but to continue his faithful soldier even to thy lives end: So when the child is baptised with water, I think it fit for the Minister to declare these words, saying, Christ so loved his Church and gave himself for it, that he might present it to himself a glorious Church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that it should be holy and without blemish, Ephes. 5. that is, Christ will have his Church which are baptised to his glorious body to be so chaste unto himself and to his glorious Gospel, that it should be free from false doctrines and false worship which proceedeth from the devil, I do not say that we shall be free from failings and infirmities here in this world, for a child as soon as it is baptised it is joined to the gloious body of Christ, but then God will have them as they grow in ripeness of years, that they should be fed with the sincere milk of the word in the doctrine of the New Testament, that they may grow thereby in heavenly wisdom, from grace to grace and strength to strength, until we all come into the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God unto a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, Ephes. 4. that ye be no more children in understanding tossed too and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine and slight of men, and cunning craftiness whereby they lie in wait to deceive. but speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things which is the head even Christ, for God our glorious Father gave us his Son Christ to be head over all things to the Church which is his body, the fullness of him that filleth all in all, unto whom be all praise, honour, power and glory both now and evermore world without end, Amen. Thus I praise God I have showed you in brief a true form for the baptising of children, which will be to the praise and glory of god, and to the edifying of the hearers, but for Godfathers and Godmothers, and the Cross on the forehead, be laid aside. Now by the help of God I will show you concerning the Sacrament of bread and wine, it is written 1 Cor. 11.28. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread and drink of that cup, for he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself: And why doth he so? the answer is, because he doth not discern the Lords body: Now I understand as Circumcision and those Ordinances that are written, Heb. 9 did belong to the Old Law and Testament which Christ hath abolished by his suffering, now on the other side, baptism and the bread and wine they are the holy Ordinances which doth belong to the mystical body of Christ, and to the second covenant of grace, for Christ saith plainly, Luke 22.20. This Cup is my blood in the New Testament which is shed for you: therefore I say again, the Sacrament of bread and wine doth belong to the body of Christ, and to the New Testament, the Apostle saith, He that eateth and drinketh unworthily eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, because he doth not discern the Lords body: Wherefore I pray God give the Bishops and the Clergy all grace for to forsake the old Law and Testament which Christ hath redeemed us from, and that they may be reconciled to Christ and to the second Covenant, which if they shall wifully refuse to do, they will be sure to eat and drink their own damnation.  
Again, if any man or woman have committed the sin of theft or adultery, or any other heinous sin, I pray God give all such grace to forsake it by turning to Christ by true repentance, and then let them eat of that bread and drink of that cup, to their everlasting joy and comfort: for Christ is the fountain of mercy and love, which doth not desire that any should perish, but rather that all should come to the knowledge of the truth and be saved: for the office of a Preacher is this. First, he must show the people how they must be engrafted into the true vine. Christ, by the divine power of his Word, and then the people may grow in grace after they be engrafted into the true vine: for as grace and virtue do grow by degrees, by the divine power of the Word of Christ, that will be a means to cause sin and wickedness to die and vanish out of the people. Again, I think it fit that the Minister read the first chapter to the Ephesians and the Lords Prayer before he deliver the bread and Wine: and then the Minister shall deliver the bread, the people receiving it upon their knees, saying, take and eat this in remembrance that Christ's body was crucified on the cross for to redeem your soul from the bondage of hell and death, and honour and glorify his blessed name for ever: and then the wine, saying, take and drink this in remembrance that Christ's blood was shed on the cross to redeem your soul from the bondage of death and hell, and honour and glorify his blessed name for ever: and when the people have received the bread and wine, I think it fit for the people to sing a Psalm to the glory of God, and after that these words, The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ & the love of God the Father, and the most sweet and comfortable fellowship of God the Holy Ghost bless, keep and defend you from this time forth and evermore, Amen. Thus I praise God I have proved, that no people have any due or right to the holy Sacrament of bread and wine but such as will be reconciled to Christ and to the second covenant of grace. Now I will show you in brief for the marriage, for I think it fit that the man and woman take one another by the hand, and say these words after the Minister, I John take Anne to my wedded▪ wife, to love and cherish in sickness and in health, until death us departed, according as God hath commanded, by the divine power of his Word, and thereunto I give thee my troth: and then for the woman, I Anne take John to my wedded husband, to love and to cherish in sickness and in health, until death us departed according as God hath commanded by the divine power of his Word, and thereunto I give thee my troth. And after this the Minister shall read that part of Scripture as is written, Eph. 5. beginning at the 22. Verse, and read to the end of the chapter. And thus I praise God I have showed you in brief what will be sufficient for marriage, which is agreeable to God's Word, and will now for the burial of the dead: I think it fit that the dead body be carried into the Church, and there may be Divine Service or Preaching, for the edifying of the people, and then lay the dead body into the grave, and the Priest and people may sing to the praise and glory of God the 113. Psalm; for there is no cause of mourning for those that die in the faith of Christ: therefore I say again, I think it fit when the dead body is laid in the grave for the Priest and people to sing a Psalm. And thus I have showed you in brief what will be sufficient for the burial of the dead. Now for Church-govemment, I think it fit for to have a Justice of Peace in every Parish of note for to bear the sword of justice, for to punish the evil doers, and for the upholding of the just and good. Again, I think it fit for to have Churchwardens and Sidemen in every Parish as already is, for to keep the Houses of God in repair, and for gathering of money for the poor, that the hungry may be fed, and the naked may be clothed, that so the members of Christ may rejoice in glory together. Now some with say, this Church-government hath been held here in England a long time. My answer is, in some respects it is very good: but by the help of God I shall prove in brief, that in some respects as it is held forth, it is abominable in the sight of God: for the Magistrates and Churchwardens they will suffer none to declare their mind to the people in the Churches, but those which have been brought up in the Universities, and in so doing they deny God of his divine power, for God breathes his Spirit where it pleaseth him. Again I say, if God give a man a great and perfect gift concerning the art of preaching, the Clergy and Magistrates will not suffer him to exercise his gift unto the people which God doth allow and command by the divine power of his Word, as I shall prove in brief. My first proof is in 1 Pet 2.9. Ye are a royal Priesthood, an holy nation, that you should show forth the praise of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light. Now I pray how shall the Saints and servants of Christ set forth those praises, and honour, and glory which doth belong to Christ and his glorious Church: but by the manifestation of his Word which is revealed in his Gospel. Again the Apostle S Paul saith expressly 1 Cor. 14. When the Church are come together, let the Prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge, for ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted. This saying of S. Paul doth plainly prove and signify, that God hath appointed that every man should have free liberty for to exercise his gift in the Church in an orderly and decent way, for he saith, All may prophesy one by one, and for to prophesy is to open and unfold the mysteries of God, to the true meaning and signification. Again, I plainly understand, that prophesying and preaching, they are both as one in signification: for prophesying is to unfold the mysteries of God, to the praise and glory of his grace, and to the confounding of false power and false doctrine which proceedeth from the devil, and preaching is for the very same purpose, I say that which doth proceed from God. Now the Apostle maintains his argument with a commanding power, for to prove that God doth allow that every man should have free liberty to declare his mind in a decent way, for he saith expressly in the 37. Verse of the same Chapter, if any man think himself to be a Prophet or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I writ unto you are the commandments of the Lord. Thus I praise God I have proved by plain and clear signification of Scripture, that God doth allow and command by the divine power of his Word, that his Saints and servants should have free liberty for to declare their mind in the Church in an orderly and decent way, but the Clergy and Magistrates and Churchwardens, they will not suffer those things to be done in the Church which God hath commanded by the divine power of his Word. I pray God give the Clergy and Magistrates and Churchwardens all grace to forsake that wicked practice, and that henceforth they will suffer those things to be done in the Churches as God hath commanded, which if they shall wilfully refuse to do, they will be sure to have their portion in hell for ever. Thus I praise God I have showed you in brief how Church-government may be held to the praise and glory of God. Again, I have showed you how Church-government in some respects is held forth, which is abominable and hateful in the sight of God. Again, I acknowledge the Lords Prayer, and other goldly prayers, and David's Psalms shall abide in the Church of Christ for ever: for the Psalms, those that are in prose to be read for Divine service, and those that are in meeter for the people to sing to the praise and glory of God; but for the old Law and Testament that is quite abolished by Christ. Now if there be any Protestant, Papist, Anabaptist, or Brownist, that can be able to show and set forth Christ and his glorious Church, with those holy Ordinances that doth belong unto it, in a plainer, and clearer, and briefer way than I by God's help have done, I shall rejoice to see that man● and I will be of his Religion, if it shall appear so to be by the plain and clear truth of the word of God, and by the judgement of the high Court of Parliament, which I hope are gathered together for the trial of the spirits.
