To

which

I

anfwere,

that

thefe and

filch

like

places

are

to

be

vnderflood

of

men,

not

as

they

are in

truth

and

in

as

they

are

in

in the

eílimation

it

may be

vnderflood

of

hypocrites

as

they

are

in

their owne opinion,

or

according

to

their

vaine

boafiing;

and

fo

thofe

that

are

in

fhew,or

in

their owne

opinion redee-

med by Chrilis

death,

may

be reprobates and condemned,

but

not

any

whe.are redeemed

in

truth.

Secondly, thofe

hy-

pocrites

that

are in

the outward

vilible Church

are

Paid

to be

redeemed,

in

refpeC1

that

they

are numbred for a

time a-

the faithfull, till they

bewray(

their

hypocrifie,

and

depart

from

.the

communion

and fellowfhip which

they

haue

outwardly with

the Saints,though

they

are

not

in

truth

redeemed,

vrile(fe

they be

of

the Church

and members

of
