A49183	An apology for the ministers who subscribed only unto the stating of the truths and errours in Mr. William's book shewing, that the Gospel which they preach, is the old everlasting Gospel of Christ, and vindicating them from the calumnies, wherewith they (especially the younger sort of them) have been unjustly aspersed by the letter from a minister in the city, to a minister in the countrey.	Lorimer, William, d. 1721.	1694 (1694)	Wing L3073; ESTC R22599	321,667	222

and_o preach_v a_o new_a gospel_n that_o can_v make_v it_o to_o be_v true_a or_o prove_v that_o it_o be_v so_o the_o nature_n of_o thing_n be_v not_o so_o soon_o change_v no_o thing_n will_v still_o

may_v be_v observe_v and_o remember_v that_o when_o we_o say_v sincere_a obedience_n be_v indispensable_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n we_o do_v not_o mean_v that_o it_o be_v require_v as_o absolute_o and_o indispensable_o necessary_a to_o our_o salvation_n that_o our_o sincere_a obedience_n be_v never_o at_o all_o interrupt_v by_o any_o act_n of_o disobedience_n but_o that_o if_o it_o happen_v that_o our_o obedience_n be_v at_o any_o time_n notable_o interrupt_v by_o act_n of_o wilful_a presumptuous_a sin_n it_o be_v indispensable_o necessary_a to_o our_o salvation_n that_o we_o renew_v
