A70157	A just defence and vindication of Gospel ministers and Gospel ordinances against the Quakers many false accusations, slanders and reproaches. In ansvver to John Horwood his letter, and E.B. his book, called, A just and lawful tryal of the ministers and teachers of this age, and several others. Proving the ministers calling and maintenance just and lawful, and the doctrine of perfection by free justification, preached by them, agreeable to the scriptures. VVith the Quakers objections answered. And the Quakers perfection by hearkning to, and obeying a light within them, proved contrary to the scriptures. And their practices in ten particulars proved contrary to the commands and examples of Christ and his apostles. By a lover of gospel ministers and gospel ordinances.

of_o that_o scripture_n contrary_a to_o that_o of_o the_o apostle_n peter_n 21._o holy_a man_n of_o god_n speak_v as_o they_o be_v move_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n beside_o if_o paul_n have_v not_o

to_o pass_v by_o his_o sin_n in_o deny_v christ_n before_o christ_n suffer_v you_o may_v read_v in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o galatian_n that_o the_o apostle_n paul_n withstand_v the_o apostle_n

no_o need_n of_o christ_n his_o mediatorship_n propitiation_n or_o intercession_n for_o if_o the_o church_n and_o people_n of_o god_n do_v not_o sin_n why_o then_o do_v the_o apostle_n john_n say_v

say_v we_o have_v a_o advocate_n and_o he_o be_v the_o propitiation_n for_o our_o sin_n the_o apostle_n include_v himself_o within_o the_o number_n also_o the_o apostle_n paul_n say_v to_o the_o

their_o best_a work_n for_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n say_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n 6._o but_o we_o be_v all_o as_o a_o unclean_a thing_n and_o all_o our_o mind_n rigteousness_n be_v as_o filthy_a rag_n also_o the_o apostle_n paul_n say_v of_o himself_o yea_o doubtless_o 9_o and_o i_o count_v all_o thing_n but_o loss_n for_o the_o excellency_n of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o

there_o be_v corruption_n in_o the_o best_a man_n for_o all_o man_n be_v conceive_v and_o bear_v in_o sin_n as_o david_n confess_v of_o himself_o 5._o behold_v i_o be_v shape_v in_o iniquity_n and_o in_o sin_n do_v my_o mother_n conceive_v i_o now_o this_o original_a corruption_n be_v in_o the_o best_a man_n what_o ever_o you_o say_v or_o think_v to_o the_o contrary_n now_o as_o water_n that_o

first_o lay_v down_o this_o proposition_n that_o all_o minister_n since_o the_o apostle_n day_n be_v not_o call_v immediate_o by_o a_o extraordinary_a call_n as_o the_o porphet_n and_o apostle_n be_v

the_o apostle_n 24._o in_o eat_v every_o one_o take_v before_o other_o his_o one_o supper_n and_o one_o be_v hungry_a and_o another_o be_v drunken_a what_o have_v you_o not_o house_n to_o eat_v and_o to_o drink_v in_o or_o despise_v you_o the_o church_n of_o god_n by_o which_o it_o seem_v by_o the_o way_n that_o the_o place_n where_o the_o corinthian_n meet_v be_v not_o a_o house_n but_o some_o place_n set_v apart_o for_o they_o to_o meet_v in_o but_o what_o do_v the_o apostle_n order_n and_o appoint_v in_o that_o case_n do_v he_o say_v you_o corinthian_n have_v so_o abuse_v this_o supper_n that_o i_o command_v you_o not_o to_o use_v it_o any_o long_o no_o the_o apostle_n be_v no_o quaker_n for_o he_o exort_v they_o and_o instruct_v they_o how_o to_o reform_v these_o abuse_n and_o how_o to_o receive_v the_o supper_n of_o the_o lord_n aright_o and_o that_o he_o do_v first_o by_o lay_v down_o christ_n institution_n and_o command_n unto_o he_o for_o the_o use_n of_o that_o ordinance_n and_o second_o show_v the_o great_a danger_n of_o unworthy_a receive_n three_o direct_v they_o how_o to_o receive_v the_o same_o aright_o but_o let_v a_o man_n examine_v himself_o 28._o and_o so_o let_v he_o eat_v of_o that_o bread_n and_o drink_v of_o that_o cup._n as_o if_o the_o apostle_n have_v say_v though_o there_o be_v such_o danger_n in_o unworthy_a receive_n abuse_v yet_o will_v i_o not_o have_v you_o neglect_v the_o same_o but_o examine_v yourselves_o and_o so_o come_v and_o in_o the_o end_n of_o the_o chapter_n tell_v they_o verse_n that_o the_o rest_n i_o will_v set_v in_o order_n when_o i_o come_v but_o you_o quaker_n will_v have_v no_o order_n and_o as_o this_o be_v the_o practice_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n so_o have_v it_o be_v the_o practice_n of_o all_o reform_a church_n since_o the_o apostle_n day_n you_o quaker_n be_v alone_o in_o this_o practice_n and_o woe_n be_v to_o he_o that_o be_v alone_o and_o a_o woe_n be_v to_o they_o who_o be_v so_o

i_o leave_v to_o your_o serious_a consideration_n and_o be_v your_o own_o judge_n whether_o you_o be_v perfect_a who_o walk_v so_o contrary_a to_o the_o command_n and_o example_n of_o christ_n and_o

his_o apostle_n in_o sing_v of_o psalm_n wherefore_o i_o shall_v lay_v down_o this_o for_o a_o truth_n that_o se_v of_o psalm_n with_o a_o voice_n be_v a_o part_n of_o god_n worship_n now_o in_o the_o

or_o hymme_n together_o after_o the_o administration_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n which_o be_v a_o time_n of_o sorrow_n and_o heaviness_n for_o christ_n have_v new_o tell_v they_o before_o of_o his_o

of_o the_o passover_n and_o some_o affirm_v that_o it_o be_v the_o 118_o psalm_n which_o christ_n do_v sing_v i_o confess_v by_o the_o suitableness_n of_o the_o psalm_n to_o the_o occasion_n there_o

fit_v the_o solemnity_n of_o god_n worship_n and_o that_o because_o that_o tune_n be_v but_o circumstantial_a and_o not_o the_o substance_n and_o the_o church_n now_o in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o
