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

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

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

my_o opinion_n and_o the_o truth_n as_o i_o think_v without_o engage_v other_o do_v lie_v affirm_v against_o the_o former_a who_o be_v the_o erastians_n that_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v set_v up_o a_o power_n of_o the_o key_n in_o the_o church_n as_o i_o have_v say_v before_o and_o that_o the_o scripture_n be_v manifest_a for_o a_o exclusion_n of_o some_o person_n to_o wit_n the_o scandalous_a and_o obstinate_a from_o christian_n communion_n in_o general_n and_o so_o consequent_o from_o the_o lord_n supper_n as_o a_o part_n thereof_o nevertheless_o i_o do_v assert_v likewise_o against_o the_o latter_a that_o there_o be_v no_o scripture_n for_o the_o exclusion_n of_o any_o from_o this_o sacrament_n without_o discipline_n but_o that_o administer_a and_o receive_v the_o lord_n supper_n be_v as_o free_a and_o universal_a in_o the_o nature_n thereof_o to_o our_o member_n as_o other_o part_n of_o church-communion_n the_o same_o qualification_n be_v require_v to_o effectual_a

never_o be_v prove_v i_o believe_v that_o the_o scripture_n have_v advance_v this_o difference_n between_o the_o sacrament_n and_o other_o ordinance_n that_o herein_o alone_o it_o must_v be_v better_a to_o omit_v the_o matter_n and_o manner_n both_o than_o to_o do_v the_o matter_n if_o it_o be_v not_o do_v in_o such_o manner_n as_o it_o ought_v direct_o contrary_a to_o all_o other_o duty_n in_o short_a then_o neither_o the_o erastian_n nor_o rigid_a suspensioner_n must_v have_v their_o will_n in_o point_n of_o discipline_n free-admission_n be_v to_o be_v deny_v against_o the_o one_o in_o

exclusion_n a_o real_a exclusion_n be_v a_o exclusion_n of_o a_o man_n from_o a_o thing_n so_o that_o he_o can_v by_o any_o mean_n participate_v of_o the_o thing_n a_o relative_a exclusion_n be_v the_o exclusion_n of_o a_o man_n from_o his_o relation_n to_o a_o thing_n or_o his_o right_n of_o privilege_n in_o it_o whether_o he_o yet_o otherwise_o possess_v the_o thing_n or_o not_o now_o that_o which_o we_o admit_v heathen_a to_o in_o receive_v they_o into_o the_o church_n i_o think_v we_o cast_v they_o out_o from_o in_o excommunicate_v they_o but_o we_o admit_v not_o person_n to_o a_o actual_a hear_v the_o word_n or_o participate_v such_o ordinance_n as_o they_o do_v and_o may_v attend_v before_o but_o we_o admit_v they_o into_o a_o state_n and_o relation_n whereby_o the_o ordinance_n belong_v to_o they_o with_o a_o difference_n of_o privilege_n from_o the_o world_n and_o as_o they_o partake_v of_o they_o while_o they_o be_v without_o they_o be_v then_o indeed_o admit_v to_o the_o word_n and_o it_o may_v be_v prayer_n to_o bring_v they_o in_o as_o they_o ought_v yet_o neither_o one_o nor_o the_o other_o ordinance_n do_v belong_v to_o they_o by_o way_n of_o

that_o though_o excommunication_n cut_v off_o a_o person_n relative_o from_o all_o the_o ordinance_n from_o one_o alike_o as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o in_o the_o sense_n now_o speak_v and_o do_v cut_v off_o a_o man_n real_o from_o that_o ordinance_n the_o actual_a participation_n whereof_o be_v peculiar_a to_o that_o relation_n as_o the_o sacrament_n yet_o this_o relative_n exclusion_n do_v not_o necessary_o infer_v a_o real_a exclusion_n of_o a_o man_n from_o those_o other_o ordinance_n as_o the_o word_n and_o prayer_n which_o may_v be_v partake_v of_o out_o of_o that_o relation_n and_o so_o here_o will_v arise_v that_o which_o may_v give_v contentment_n to_o wit_n that_o upon_o this_o it_o shall_v be_v leave_v in_o the_o church_n hand_n by_o way_n of_o mitigation_n to_o admit_v the_o excommunicate_a hereunto_o whether_o one_o or_o more_o or_o none_o of_o they_o as_o she_o see_v it_o fit_a to_o use_v severity_n or_o
