A85329	Londons gate to the Lords Table. Where the eldership doth sit doing their office aright, in discovering and shutting out the ignorant, prophane, and meere civill honest man : in suspending the suspected formall, legall, and antinomisticall professor, and in drawing in the weakest humble beleeving soule. In a dialogue betweene a minister of the Gospell. Alexander an ignorant prophane man. Simon a proud professor. And Matthias an humble penitent. Imprimatur Edmund Calamy.	Fisher, Edward, fl. 1627-1655.	1646 (1646)	Wing F995; Thomason E1213_1; ESTC R210120	58,722	302

covenant_n and_o where_o there_o be_v no_o covenant_n there_o be_v no_o seal_n and_o then_o consequent_o no_o sacrament_n so_o that_o you_o be_v a_o unbeliever_n you_o be_v a_o unconvert_v

i_o do_v confess_v though_o you_o have_v no_o faith_n yet_o you_o may_v partake_v of_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n but_o you_o be_v not_o to_o come_v to_o the_o sacrament_n to_o partake_v of_o the_o

christ_n crucify_v for_o we_o and_o this_o you_o can_v do_v for_o want_n of_o faith_n and_o therefore_o if_o you_o shall_v come_v and_o partake_v of_o the_o outward_a element_n yet_o will_v it_o be_v
