A93655	The opening of Master Prynnes new book, called A vindication: or, light breaking out from a cloud of differences, or late controversies. Wherein are inferences upon the Vindication, and antiqueres to the queres; and by that, the way a little cleared to a further discovery of truth in a church-order, by a conference or discourse. / By John Saltmarsh, preacher at Brasteed in Kent. Published according to order.	Saltmarsh, John, d. 1647.	1645 (1645)	Wing S493; Thomason E305_22; ESTC R200328	25,183	50

the_o visible_a expression_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o sacrament_n now_o have_v the_o like_a effectual_a convert_v power_n inference_n we_o may_v infer_v as_o we_o have_v do_v before_o that_o all_o

more_o to_o the_o sense_n and_o more_o of_o representation_n but_o these_o be_v more_o in_o the_o spirit_n under_o the_o gospel_n we_o worship_v now_o in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n not_o by_o

and_o further_o what_o be_v it_o that_o be_v say_v of_o work_a grace_n by_o the_o eye_n as_o if_o the_o carnal_a part_n can_v advantage_v conversion_n by_o any_o power_n there_o but_o such_o a_o

be_v because_o one_o thing_n be_v therefore_o another_o thing_n be_v this_o be_v but_o the_o old_a argument_n but_o god_n may_v sanctify_v any_o thing_n at_o his_o own_o pleasure_n to_o make_v way_n for_o conversion_n and_o yet_o that_o no_o institute_v ordinance_n for_o conversion_n neither_o because_o some_o have_v be_v convert_v when_o afflict_v when_o sick_a when_o poor_a therefore_o will_v you_o first_o go_v afflict_v they_o and_o make_v they_o sick_a and_o poor_a take_v all_o they_o have_v from_o they_o that_o you_o may_v convert_v they_o and_o so_o make_v they_o stand_v ordinance_n three_o be_v a_o rule_n of_o contrary_n a_o rule_n in_o the_o scripture_n or_o in_o logic_n but_o it_o be_v say_v worthy_a receive_n be_v a_o instrument_n of_o conversion_n that_o be_v conversion_n

than_o it_o shall_v convert_v this_o how_o be_v it_o possible_a be_v like_o that_o of_o why_o shall_v it_o not_o both_o of_o one_o strength_n to_o prove_v it_o for_o though_o the_o end_n be_v never_o

can_v institute_v a_o ordinance_n none_o but_o god_n and_o christ_n and_o therefore_o the_o popish_a argument_n build_v upon_o such_o foreign_a and_o external_a though_o rational_a consequence_n be_v

that_o make_v conscience_n to_o separate_v or_o suspend_v in_o some_o particular_n it_o imply_v they_o may_v go_v on_o to_o a_o further_a separation_n till_o upon_o more_o degree_n of_o purity_n in_o
