A85542	Christians liberty to the Lords table, discovered by eight arguments, therby proving, that the Sacrament of the body and blood of our Lord, doth as well teach to grace, as strengthen and confirm grace, and so is common, as well to the outward Christian as to the inward Christian: occasioned by the contrary doctrine, taught by a strange minister in Woolchurch, on the 29th of June last. / By I.G a parishioner there.

sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n do_v not_o teach_v to_o the_o beget_n of_o faith_n for_o that_o be_v the_o proper_a office_n of_o the_o word_n alone_o rom._n 10._o 17._o so_o than_o say_v the_o

do_v not_o therein_o deny_v that_o faith_n come_v by_o hear_v and_o hear_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o i_o affirm_v that_o the_o same_o word_n be_v also_o teach_v and_o preach_v by_o the_o sacrament_n for_o the_o text_n he_o allege_v do_v not_o say_v as_o he_o affirm_v that_o it_o be_v the_o office_n of_o the_o word_n alone_o but_o these_o be_v the_o apostle_n word_n so_o than_o faith_n come_v by_o hear_v and_o hear_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n now_o we_o must_v observe_v that_o the_o term_n faith_n have_v divers_a acceptation_n in_o the_o scripture_n and_o for_o the_o clear_n this_o point_n i_o will_v observe_v but_o two_o distinction_n first_o as_o it_o be_v refer_v to_o god_n the_o creator_n and_o second_o as_o it_o have_v respect_n to_o jesus_n christ_n the_o saviour_n
