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.

church_n and_o the_o true_a they_o be_v the_o true_a the_o church_n but_o so_o long_o as_o the_o ordinance_n may_v be_v know_v to_o be_v christ_n though_o the_o haver_n be_v very_o corrupt_a we_o must_v own_v the_o church_n to_o be_v christ_n also_o but_o to_o be_v a_o little_o clear_a may_v i_o judge_v here_o i_o shall_v conclude_v word_n special_o in_o minister_n of_o the_o word_n that_o 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

enjoyment_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n indeed_o none_o can_v be_v member_n of_o a_o particular_a church_n unless_o he_o be_v baptize_v so_o baptism_n be_v a_o negative_a mark_n and_o none_o can_v have_v a_o right_n to_o the_o supper_n of_o the_o lord_n unless_o he_o be_v a_o member_n of_o a_o particular_a church_n so_o that_o the_o lord_n supper_n i_o mean_v the_o actual_a administration_n 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 change_v the_o nature_n as_o the_o doctrine_n do_v as_o the_o same_o seal_n be_v of_o different_a value_n according_a to_o the_o nature_n and_o value_n of_o the_o write_n to_o which_o it_o be_v set_v so_o that_o when_o the_o doctrine_n become_v antichristian_a the_o seal_n thereof_o can_v scarce_o be_v christian_n though_o they_o be_v counterfeit_a and_o will_v be_v so_o this_o may_v not_o deny_v the_o baptism_n of_o rome_n to_o be_v lawful_a baptism_n yet_o thus_o far_o it_o go_v that_o the_o baptism_n of_o rome_n be_v no_o far_o christian_n then_o their_o doctrine_n touch_v it_o be_v so_o for_o shall_v they_o deny_v the_o holy_a t●inity_n although_o they_o do_v baptise_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n i_o hardly_o judge_v it_o to_o be_v lawful_a
