A88693	Suspension reviewed, stated, cleered and setled upon plain scripture-proof. Agreeable to the former and late constitutions of the Protestant Church of England and other reformed churches. Wherein (defending a private sheet occasionally written by the author upon this subject, against a publique pretended refutation of the same, by Mr W. in his book, entituled, Suspension discussed.) Many important points are handled; sundry whereof are shortly mentioned in the following page. Together with a discourse concering private baptisme, inserted in the epistle dedicatory. / By Samuel Langley, R.S. in the county palatine of Chester.

here_o yet_o incline_v to_o this_o answer_n viz._n that_o pardon_n belong_v not_o only_o to_o actual_a repentance_n and_o faith_n but_o to_o habitual_a and_o so_o david_n be_v actual_o pardon_v on_o the_o condition_n perform_v of_o his_o habitual_a faith_n and_o repentance_n which_o keep_v the_o interest_n of_o christ_n most_o prevail_o in_o his_o soul_n when_o he_o be_v so_o foil_v by_o actual_a

it_o will_v follow_v hereupon_o that_o david_n after_o his_o rise_n again_o by_o actual_a repentance_n be_v pardon_v only_o as_o to_o his_o sense_n be_v real_o and_o actual_o pardon_v before_o even_o

grant_v 4._o some_o distinguish_v of_o habitual_a and_o actual_a pardon_n according_a to_o their_o habitual_a and_o actual_a faith_n and_o repentance_n and_o so_o david_n shall_v have_v the_o former_a before_o he_o be_v recover_v by_o repentance_n not_o the_o late_a but_o this_o distinction_n may_v not_o be_v grant_v because_o though_o there_o be_v habit_n of_o sanctify_a grace_n insuse_v into_o
