A88693	Suspension reviewed, stated, cleered and setled upon plain scripture-proof. Agreeable to the former and late constitutions of the Protestant Church of England and other reformed churches. Wherein (defending a private sheet occasionally written by the author upon this subject, against a publique pretended refutation of the same, by Mr W. in his book, entituled, Suspension discussed.) Many important points are handled; sundry whereof are shortly mentioned in the following page. Together with a discourse concering private baptisme, inserted in the epistle dedicatory. / By Samuel Langley, R.S. in the county palatine of Chester.

that_o they_o seem_v to_o have_v leave_v no_o place_n for_o a_o colourable_a reply_n whereby_o among_o other_o argument_n they_o demonstrate_v that_o the_o jerusalem_n church_n be_v a_o classical_a
