A85045	A discourse of the visible church. In a large debate of this famous question, viz. whether the visible church may be considered to be truely a church of Christ without respect to saving grace? Affirm. Whereunto is added a brief discussion of these three questions. viz. 1. What doth constitute visible church-membership. 2. What doth distinguish it, or render it visible. 3. What doth destroy it, or render it null? Together with a large application of the whole, by way of inference to our churches, sacraments, and censures. Also an appendix touching confirmation, occasioned by the Reverend Mr. Hanmore his pious and learned exercitation of confirmation. By Francis Fulwood minister of the gospel at West-Alvington in Devon.	Fullwood, Francis, d. 1693.	1658 (1658)	Wing F2500; Thomason E947_3; ESTC R207619	279,090	362

true_o observe_v that_o such_o divine_n understand_v by_o church_n in_o the_o proposition_n the_o church_n of_o the_o save_v which_o they_o themselves_o usual_o call_v the_o church_n catholic_n or_o the_o church_n inviand_n none_o can_v doubt_v but_o such_o church-membership_a be_v predicable_a of_o hypocrite_n only_o nominal_o or_o equivocal_o and_o not_o real_o 2._o it_o be_v also_o plead_v that_o some_o as_o eminent_a affirm_v and_o teach_v that_o hypocrite_n be_v only_o in_o the_o church_n not_o of_o the_o church_n but_o epistle_n but_o this_o tenant_n may_v seem_v to_o cross_v many_o of_o our_o own_o divines_n in_o their_o writing_n against_o the_o papist_n but_o indeed_o it_o do_v only_o seem_v so_o for_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o church_n which_o they_o intend_v be_v not_o the_o same_o with_o this_o which_o i_o have_v to_o deal_v withal_o for_o they_o speak_v of_o the_o church_n catholic_a consist_v only_o of_o the_o elect._n hudson_n his_o epistle_n here_o we_o
