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.

there_o have_v be_v certain_a minister_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o world_n ever_o since_o there_o be_v any_o and_o more_o certain_a it_o be_v that_o there_o be_v true_a minister_n in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n when_o our_o first_o reformer_n begin_v to_o think_v of_o break_v off_o from_o she_o for_o there_o be_v conversion_n there_o else_o god_n will_v not_o have_v have_v a_o people_n there_o and_o conversion_n be_v the_o work_n of_o send_v minister_n rom._n 10._o 14_o 15._o now_o can_v any_o man_n in_o reason_n think_v that_o those_o that_o forsake_v both_o rome_n and_o her_o harlotry_n and_o obey_v that_o know_a command_n of_o god_n and_o come_v out_o from_o rome_n be_v not_o the_o best_a of_o the_o minister_n there_o and_o so_o by_o consequence_n the_o minister_n of_o christ_n if_o there_o be_v any_o which_o may_v not_o be_v doubt_v yea_o therefore_o remarkable_a providence_n do_v seal_v to_o their_o ministry_n immediate_o upon_o their_o leave_v rome_n be_v use_v by_o god_n to_o

to_o conclude_v that_o as_o the_o best_a of_o the_o member_n leave_v rome_n be_v own_v by_o god_n for_o the_o true_a church_n so_o the_o first_o of_o the_o minister_n leave_v rome_n be_v acknowledge_v by_o god_n for_o the_o true_a ministry_n every_o man_n abide_v in_o that_o call_n wherein_o he_o be_v call_v whether_o member_n or_o minister_n 2._o again_o it_o be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o question_v but_o that_o our_o first_o reformer_n have_v a_o inward_a call_n and_o if_o their_o outward_a call_n be_v question_v it_o be_v no_o great_a matter_n since_o both_o we_o and_o our_o adversary_n agree_v
