A85043	The churches and ministery of England, true churches and true ministery. Cleared, and proved, in a sermon / preach'd the 4th of May at Wiviliscombe; before a numerous congregation assembled together to hear the opposition, which had been long threatned to be made that day, by Mr Collier and others of his party, who, with the greatest strength the West would afford them, were present at the sermon. Wherein were these five things undeniably proved: 1. That a mixture of prophane and scandalous persons with reall saints, is not inconsistent with the Church of God or a true church. ... 5. And then, they also must needs be guilty, who forsake true churches and a lawfull ministry, to follow and hear unsent preachers. By Francis Fullwood minister of the Gospel at Staple Fitzpane in the county of Somerset. Before it there is an epistle and preface, shewing the manner, and a narrative subjoyned shewing the substance of the dispute after the sermon, (both which lasted nine hours.) Set forth by the ministers that were at the dispute, and attested under their hands.

the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n rather_o than_o the_o sacrament_n contain_v the_o form_n of_o a_o particular_a visible_a church_n for_o of_o such_o we_o speak_v 1._o as_o for_o baptism_n that_o

thereof_o be_v a_o mark_n redundant_fw-la but_o as_o for_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n that_o word_n therefore_o the_o sacrament_n be_v call_v by_o reverend_a usher_n dependent_n on_o the_o word_n have_v in_o it_o not_o only_o a_o mark_n but_o the_o form_n and_o difference_n of_o the_o visible_a church_n of_o which_o the_o sacrament_n be_v but_o seal_n and_o seem_v to_o alter_v and_o
