A86891	A second vindication of a disciplinary, anti-Erastian, orthodox free-admission to the Lords-Supper; or, The state of this controversie revised and proposed: for the fuller understanding of the most, as to the grounds whereon it stands; and more especially for the ease, and clearer proceeding of those, that shall write about it, whether for it, or against it. / By John Humfrey, min: of Froome.

visible_a worthiness_n as_o a_o three_o thing_n between_o this_o and_o truth_n of_o grace_n distinct_a here_o from_o we_o must_v go_v on_o continual_a uncertainty_n as_o without_o scripture_n 3._o this_o rule_n of_o visible_a worthiness_n be_v bottom_v on_o real_a worthiness_n which_o it_o suppose_v in_o the_o receiver_n as_o necessary_o antecedent_n to_o the_o sacrament_n now_o than_o i_o argue_v either_o the_o manifestation_n hereof_o for_o visible_a fitness_n or_o worthiness_n be_v their_o rule_n of_o admit_v people_n that_o fitness_n must_v be_v try_v and_o that_o by_o evidence_n upon_o which_o the_o sacrament_n must_v be_v administer_v be_v either_o infallible_a or_o certain_a and_o then_o no_o hypocrite_n can_v ever_o receive_v or_o be_v admit_v which_o be_v doubtless_o untrue_a or_o probable_a only_o and_o conjectural_a and_o then_o none_o can_v in_o faith_n administer_v to_o another_o because_o he_o can_v he_o assure_v by_o all_o those_o evidence_n or_o manifestation_n that_o the_o party_n have_v that_o in_o he_o which_o be_v necessary_o and_o essential_o hold_v pre-requisite_a to_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n can_v be_v administer_v according_a to_o rule_v unless_o they_o have_v their_o necessary_a pre-requisites_a or_o essential_o nor_o in_o faith_n unless_o the_o minister_n be_v assure_v they_o have_v their_o essential_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o real_a worthiness_n or_o truth_n of_o grace_n as_o to_o the_o receiver_n own_o part_n or_o visible_a worthiness_n as_o to_o the_o admitter_n part_n but_o covenant-relation_n in_o both_o be_v the_o very_a ground_n indeed_o both_o of_o administer_a and_o receive_v always_o remember_v that_o our_o question_n true_o be_v not_o concern_v what_o be_v require_v of_o the_o receiver_n in_o order_n to_o other_o end_n that_o he_o may_v be_v save_v so_o truth_n of_o grace_n and_o final_a perseverance_n too_o be_v necessary_a but_o what_o be_v necessary_o antecedent_n to_o the_o obtain_v the_o external_a ordinance_n and_o to_o the_o validity_n thereof_o i_o desire_v the_o reader_n to_o observe_v this_o well_o that_o be_v may_v know_v clear_o how_o to_o put_v a_o sound_a difference_n between_o these_o two_o thing_n to_o wit_n between_o what_o be_v require_v of_o the_o receiver_n in_o his_o come_n or_o that_o come_v to_o the_o sacrament_n and_o what_o be_v so_o require_v to_o receive_v as_o that_o else_o be_v must_v not_o come_v as_o to_o the_o former_a we_o be_v to_o press_v upon_o man_n all_o those_o sacramental_a qualification_n which_o be_v lay_v down_o ordinary_o by_o divine_n as_o be_v necessary_a to_o the_o obtain_v the_o effectual_a benefit_n of_o christ_n hold_v forth_o in_o the_o sacrament_n but_o as_o for_o the_o latter_a we_o must_v take_v heed_n what_o we_o press_v upon_o any_o lest_o we_o press_v they_o only_o to_o the_o omission_n of_o their_o duty_n even_o as_o we_o be_v to_o press_v upon_o man_n who_o hear_v and_o pray_v that_o they_o pray_v and_o hear_v with_o understanding_n faith_n love_n humility_z and_o other_o grace_n as_o they_o be_v to_o receive_v and_o that_o if_o they_o do_v not_o they_o sin_n in_o their_o hear_n and_o prayer_n yet_o must_v not_o we_o press_v this_o so_o that_o if_o they_o have_v not_o these_o qualification_n they_o may_v not_o hear_v nor_o pray_v this_o be_v to_o press_v they_o to_o iniquity_n for_o the_o avoid_n of_o partial_a to_o run_v into_o total_a disobedience_n by_o this_o distinction_n than_o we_o shall_v understand_v both_o how_o to_o press_v the_o sacrament_n on_o our_o people_n that_o neglect_v it_o

2._o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o same_o grace_n be_v require_v of_o a_o person_n to_o be_v accept_v of_o god_n in_o one_o part_n of_o god_n worship_n as_o in_o another_o the_o scripture_n
