A56405	A revindication set forth by William Parker, in the behalfe of Dr. Drayton deceased, and himself of the possibility of a total mortification of sin in this life: and, of the saints perfect obedience to the law of God: to be the orthodox Protestant doctrine, and no innovations (as they are falsly charged to be) of Dr. Drayton and W. Parker; in an illogicall vindication, wherein the necessity of sins remaining in the best saints as long as they live, and the impossibility of perfect obedience to the law of God, is ignorantly and perversly avouched to to [sic] be the orthodox Protestant doctrine; by one who subscribeth his name John Tendring. ...

claim_v their_o ministration_n as_o aforesaid_a will_v prove_v themselves_o their_o successor_n whether_o include_v or_o not_o include_v in_o the_o word_n math._n 28.20_o who_o be_v mention_v ephes_n

full_a of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o wisdom_n even_o that_o wisdom_n specify_v jan._n 3.17_o and_o not_o be_v pufe_v up_o with_o pride_n and_o show_v bitterness_n and_o wrath_n and_o carry_v

but_o forbid_v or_o hinder_v they_o that_o will_v receive_v they_o or_o cast_v they_o out_o of_o their_o livelihood_n hence_o we_o sayagain_o that_o if_o they_o derive_v their_o claim_n as_o aforesaid_a to_o be_v their_o successor_n they_o must_v be_v qualify_v like_o those_o pastor_n which_o we_o have_v prove_v to_o be_v qualify_v as_o aforesaid_a by_o reason_n it_o be_v say_v ephos_n 4.11_o they_o be_v of_o christ_n own_o make_v and_o gift_a with_o his_o immediate_a gift_n v._o 8._o which_o can_v be_v less_o or_o few_o than_o fit_a for_o the_o end_n they_o be_v appoint_v unto_o

so_o the_o minister_n of_o jesus_n christ_n they_o must_v be_v such_o pastor_n so_o make_v by_o jesus_n christ_n inward_o for_o their_o outward_a ordination_n be_v but_o a_o ceremony_n which_o they_o
