A80160	Responsoria bipartita, sive vindiciæ suspensionis ecclesiasticæ ut et presbyterii evangelici. A double reply, containing a vindication of the antient practice of the Church (according to the rule of the word) suspending the ignorant and scandalous from the Lords Supper. As also of ecclesiastical presbyteries ... The first in answer to one M. Boatmans challenge of all the ministers on earth to make suspension of any but Turks, Jews, pagans and excommunicate persons from the Lords Supper, appear from Scriptures. In answer to whom the said censure is justified by several arguments from Scripture, and the universal practice of the Church, the magisterial vanity also of his sermon, Decem. 13. and March 28. in Peters Church in Norwich is discovered, ... In which answer also some objections of Erastus, Mr. Prin, and Mr. Humfry, are coilaterally considered, and answered. The second part in answer to Theophilus Brabourn, who hath talked something in a little pamphlet against the Lord Jesus Christ ... / By John Collings, B.D. and pastor of the church of Christ in Stephens parish in Norwich.	Collinges, John, 1623-1690.	1655 (1655)	Wing C5333; Thomason E832_2; ESTC R207514	201,020	319

notion_n p_o 27._o that_o the_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n be_v the_o end_n and_o self-examination_n the_o mean_n it_o be_v so_o far_o from_o make_v for_o he_o that_o it_o will_v conclude_v that_o

say_v something_o to_o that_o already_o and_o it_o be_v enough_o if_o we_o find_v it_o elsewhere_o and_o we_o conceive_v there_o be_v something_o contrary_a to_o the_o receive_n of_o the_o ignorant_a and_o scandalous_a which_o be_v the_o question_n for_o the_o church_n judge_v not_o of_o secret_a thing_n 1._o in_o the_o institution_n for_o christ_n give_v it_o to_o none_o such_o 2._o in_o the_o

he_o conceive_v that_o this_o sacrament_n be_v institute_v for_o the_o good_a of_o every_o particular_a member_n of_o the_o church_n we_o conceive_v so_o too_o therefore_o they_o have_v jus_o ad_fw-la rem_fw-la but_o how_o do_v this_o prove_v that_o therefore_o every_o particular_a member_n ought_v in_o his_o present_a state_n to_o come_v to_o it_o and_o come_v aught_o to_o be_v admit_v 1._o be_v not_o the_o passover_n so_o appoint_v yet_o i_o think_v the_o unclean_a person_n may_v not_o come_v during_o their_o uncleanness_n 2._o i_o know_v many_o reverend_a man_n think_v the_o excommunicate_a person_n be_v yet_o a_o member_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n and_o i_o be_o sure_a we_o shall_v not_o baptize_v he_o again_o upon_o his_o repentance_n and_o he_o yet_o possible_o own_v the_o christian_a religion_n so_o that_o he_o be_v a_o baptize_v person_n own_v the_o christian_a religion_n and_o so_o a_o member_n of_o the_o church_n catholic_a and_o doubtless_o suppose_v his_o repentance_n the_o sacrament_n be_v institute_v for_o his_o good_a but_o i_o hope_v it_o will_v not_o therefore_o follow_v he_o ought_v in_o his_o state_n of_o excommunication_n to_o be_v receive_v to_o that_o communion_n 2._o for_o his_o second_o we_o will_v grant_v it_o he_o that_o the_o church_n confist_n of_o good_a and_o bad_a 3._o and_o his_o three_o that_o the_o unregenerate_a be_v the_o proper_a object_n of_o the_o promise_n of_o first_o grace_n though_o that_o must_v be_v understand_v with_o a_o grain_n of_o salt_n and_o i_o have_v rather_o say_v that_o the_o unregenerate_a be_v the_o only_a object_n of_o first_o grace_n then_o the_o only_a object_n of_o the_o promise_n for_o the_o promise_n profit_v not_o any_o without_o faith_n and_o how_o the_o unregenerate_a shall_v exert_v a_o act_n of_o faith_n to_o apply_v a_o promise_n i_o can_v tell_v and_o i_o doubt_v whether_o it_o be_v truth_n to_o say_v any_o promise_n belong_v to_o man_n as_o unregenerate_a for_o if_o they_o belong_v to_o they_o as_o unregerate_v they_o may_v apply_v they_o as_o unregenerate_v 4._o his_o four_o thing_n be_v that_o the_o whole_a administration_n of_o the_o covenant_n belong_v to_o those_o in_o the_o church_n who_o be_v the_o immediate_a object_n of_o the_o absolute_a promise●_n they_o be_v of_o year_n of_o discretion_n to_o use_v the_o same_o in_o order_n to_o the_o lord_n put_v the_o promise_n into_o execution_n how_o those_o in_o the_o church_n and_o be_v of_o year_n of_o discretion_n come_v in_o i_o can_v tell_v unless_o it_o be_v to_o prevent_v a_o answer_n for_o if_o mr._n timson_n argument_n be_v good_a it_o be_v fetch_v from_o the_o right_n which_o a_o interest_n in_o the_o covenant_n promise_n give_v one_o to_o the_o seal_n of_o it_o and_o then_o it_o must_v hold_v universal_o and_o if_o the_o unregenerate_a out_o of_o the_o church_n be_v be_v much_o object_n of_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o first_o grace_n as_o those_o within_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n for_o that_o restriction_n but_o to_o speak_v to_o his_o argument_n to_o those_o to_o who_o the_o absolute_a promise_n of_o the_o covenant_n belong_v to_o those_o the_o whole_a administration_n and_o so_o the_o seal_n of_o it_o belong_v but_o to_o the_o unregenerate_a in_o the_o church_n and_o of_o year_n the_o promise_n belong_v ergo_fw-la if_o mr._n timson_n will_v clear_v this_o syllogism_n from_o the_o fallacy_n of_o 4_o term_n the_o answer_n will_v be_v easy_a let_v but_o belong_v in_o each_o propofition_n be_v understand_v in_o the_o same_o sense_n and_o the_o argument_n be_v weak_a if_o by_o belong_v he_o mean_v no_o more_o than_o this_o that_o the_o unregenerate_a be_v those_o only_a upon_o who_o god_n shine_v with_o first_o grace_n or_o to_o who_o god_n have_v declare_v he_o will_v give_v first_o grace_n we_o deny_v the_o major_a for_o by_o this_o argument_n heathen_n may_v come_v if_o by_o belong_v or_o be_v the_o object_n he_o mean_v that_o those_o be_v they_o only_o who_o by_o faith_n can_v apply_v they_o and_o make_v use_n of_o they_o for_o their_o salvation_n or_o consolation_n his_o major_n be_v true_a but_o his_o minor_a be_v false_a for_o no_o promise_n do_v so_o belong_v to_o any_o unregenerate_a man_n viz._n as_o his_o portion_n which_o he_o may_v claim_v and_o make_v use_n of_o in_o his_o unregeneracy_n to_o his_o five_o that_o the_o sacrament_n be_v visible_a representation_n of_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n on_o which_o those_o promise_n be_v found_v and_o by_o which_o they_o be_v confirm_v the_o use_n of_o the_o sacrament_n do_v belong_v to_o those_o who_o those_o promise_n do_v respect_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v 1._o that_o the_o promise_n be_v found_v upon_o christ_n death_n and_o confirm_v by_o it_o i_o grant_v 2._o i_o grant_v also_o the_o sacrament_n be_v visible_a representation_n of_o christ_n death_n but_o that_o be_v not_o all_o they_o be_v seal_n as_o well_o as_o sign_n 3._o it_o be_v false_a that_o the_o use_n of_o the_o sacrament_n belong_v to_o such_o as_o the_o promise_n of_o first_o grace_n do_v respect_n for_o then_o the_o use_n of_o it_o belong_v to_o heathen_n but_o the_o use_n of_o it_o belong_v to_o those_o only_o who_o by_o faith_n apply_v the_o promise_n 6._o that_o those_o in_o the_o church_n who_o we_o can_v exclude_v from_o covenant_n relation_n be_v of_o year_n must_v not_o be_v exclude_v from_o the_o sacrament_n because_o they_o be_v seal_n of_o covenant_n love_n to_o that_o people_n that_o be_v i●_n possession_n of_o covenant_n administration_n i_o wonder_v again_o how_o that_o term_n be_v of_o year_n come_v in_o for_o the_o argument_n be_v to_o prove_v a_o right_n for_o covenant_n seal_v for_o such_o as_o be_v in_o covenant_n relation_n now_o child_n be_v in_o covenant_n relation_n that_o exception_n plain_o imply_v that_o covenant_n relation_n be_v not_o enough_o i_o know_v if_o mr._n timson_n have_v think_v of_o it_o too_o he_o will_v have_v except_v mad_a man_n for_o they_o be_v in_o covenant_n relation_n and_o this_o argument_n plead_v their_o right_n the_o upshot_n be_v mr._n timson_n grant_v here_o by_o except_v those_o not_o of_o year_n that_o covenant_n relation_n be_v not_o enough_o to_o give_v right_a to_o covenant_v scal_n so_o he_o have_v answer_v himself_o for_o his_o argument_n fail_v if_o covenant_n relation_n be_v not_o enough_o and_o we_o still_o demand_v what_o must_v be_v superad_v if_o he_o say_v only_a year_n then_o mad_a man_n have_v a_o right_n if_o he_o add_v a_o capacity_n to_o exercise_v reason_n too_o 1._o let_v he_o show_v we_o scripture_n for_o these_o ●_o thing_n to_o be_v add_v 2._o i_o speak_v

to_o it_o already_o he_o tell_v we_o the_o elect_a before_o conversion_n be_v in_o the_o writing_n and_o in_o the_o church_n therefore_o the_o sacrament_n seal_v to_o they_o that_o the_o elect_n be_v enroll_v in_o the_o everlasting_a covenant_n i_o dare_v not_o deny_v but_o that_o they_o be_v full_o in_o covenant_n be_v false_a christ_n indeed_o have_v covenant_v for_o they_o before_o they_o believe_v but_o they_o be_v not_o say_v to_o be_v complet_o in_o covenant_n till_o upon_o the_o tender_a of_o the_o covenant_n to_o they_o in_o the_o gospel_n they_o have_v accept_v the_o condition_n

have_v conclude_v therefore_o they_o have_v right_a to_o it_o we_o shall_v have_v deny_v the_o consequence_n the_o unregenerate_a have_v need_n of_o christ_n and_o all_o his_o grace_n and_o glory_n
