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.

that_o these_o brethren_n be_v not_o private_a christian_n the_o disciple_n or_o member_n of_o the_o jerusalem_n church_n 1._o this_o i_o believe_v will_v not_o be_v deny_v by_o our_o brethren_n either_o of_o the_o episcopal_a or_o presbyterian_a judgement_n if_o they_o be_v convince_v that_o these_o brethren_n act_v authoritative_o in_o the_o synod_n which_o i_o think_v be_v clear_o prove_v above_o for_o no_o private_a christian_n be_v allow_v by_o they_o as_o such_o to_o have_v right_a of_o authoritative_a suffrage_n in_o ecclesiastical_a council_n 2._o i_o have_v only_o here_o against_o i_o the_o brethren_n of_o the_o congregational_a way_n who_o though_o from_o other_o scripture_n they_o own_o the_o officer_n i_o dispute_v for_o yet_o here_o say_v that_o these_o brethren_n be_v the_o member_n of_o the_o jerusalem_n church_n as_o such_o but_o that_o i_o humble_o conceive_v not_o be_v the_o apostle_n elder_n and_o brethren_n v._o 23._o be_v the_o same_o with_o the_o whole_a multitude_n v._o 12._o and_o the_o apostle_n and_o elder_n with_o the_o whole_a church_n v._o 22._o now_o this_o whole_a church_n and_o whole_a multitude_n must_v either_o refer_v to_o the_o whole_a church_n of_o jerusalem_n or_o to_o the_o whole_a synodical_a assembly_n only_o of_o that_o and_o other_o church_n there_o meet_v together_o which_o the_o reverend_a mr._n cotton_n in_o his_o

jerusalem_n church_n because_o neither_o that_o whole_a church_n nor_o the_o great_a part_n thereof_o can_v meet_v in_o one_o house_n much_o less_o a_o private_a house_n as_o its_o probable_a this_o be_v to_o manage_v the_o synodical_a affair_n orderly_o as_o appear_v by_o the_o great_a number_n of_o that_o church_n record_v upon_o count_n 120_o act._n 1.15_o 3000_o act._n 2.41_o 5000_o man_n

reverend_a assembly_n in_o their_o answer_n to_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o dissent_v brethren_n where_o they_o undo_v the_o exception_n make_v against_o it_o so_o solid_o learned_o and_o perspicuous_o that_o they_o seem_v to_o have_v leave_v no_o place_n for_o a_o colourable_a reply_n whereby_o among_o other_o argument_n they_o demonstrate_v that_o the_o jerusalem_n church_n be_v a_o classical_a
