A82010	A persuasive to full communion, with the churches of Christ in all Gospel-ordinances and priviledges Containing an essay for the conviction and reformation of such adult, or grown persons who live in the sinful neglect of baptism and the supper of the Lord. Together with an account of the manner of the transition of church-members from their infant to their adult-state, and regular admission to full communion. Written, for the help of such as need instruction in these spiritual concerns, 1 Cor. 12. 13. For by one spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be jews or gentiles, whether we be bond or free, and have been all made to drink into one spirit. By the late reverend Mr. George Day, minister of the gospel in London-street in Ratcliff / 1697.	Day, George, d. 1697.	1698 (1698)	Wing D461; ESTC R232085	42,081	116

christ_n do_v indeed_o speak_v of_o another_o come_v to_o his_o church_n before_o his_o come_v to_o judge_n the_o world_n as_o john_n 14.18_o i_o will_v not_o leave_v you_o comfortless_a i_o will_v

sing_v of_o psalm_n the_o observation_n of_o the_o lordsday_n and_o the_o gospel-ministry_n believe_v it_o he_o that_o can_v four_o consider_v if_o this_o opinion_n be_v true_a that_o when_o christ_n

provoke_v to_o inflict_v some_o judgement_n upon_o they_o 4._o see_v the_o lords-supper_n be_v appoint_v for_o the_o increase_n and_o strengthen_n of_o grace_n where_o it_o be_v and_o not_o for_o

first_o live_v spiritual_o as_o well_o as_o natural_o before_o we_o eat_v and_o drink_v therefore_o it_o be_v needful_a that_o the_o pastor_n inquire_v also_o into_o the_o state_n of_o the_o
