A93655 The opening of Master Prynnes new book, called A vindication: or, light breaking out from a cloud of differences, or late controversies. Wherein are inferences upon the Vindication, and antiqueres to the queres; and by that, the way a little cleared to a further discovery of truth in a church-order, by a conference or discourse. / By John Saltmarsh, preacher at Brasteed in Kent. Published according to order. Saltmarsh, John, d. 1647. 1645 (1645) Wing S493; Thomason E305_22; ESTC R200328 25,183 50

in_o the_o supper_n to_o his_o own_o end_n therefore_o it_o will_v serve_v to_o any_o end_n that_o we_o can_v prove_v of_o our_o own_o imagine_v upon_o certain_a rational_a conclusion_n from_o

precept_n or_o practice_n or_o just_a consequence_n from_o scripture_n direct_v to_o such_o a_o proof_n for_o else_o there_o be_v scarce_o any_o thing_n but_o we_o may_v reason_v into_o a_o notion_n of_o likelihood_n but_o faith_n must_v have_v better_a ground_n and_o not_o of_o private_a interpretation_n and_o the_o scripture_n that_o be_v allege_v must_v not_o be_v to_o prove_v that_o thing_n

the_o visible_a expression_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o sacrament_n now_o have_v the_o like_a effectual_a convert_v power_n inference_n we_o may_v infer_v as_o we_o have_v do_v before_o that_o all_o

more_o to_o the_o sense_n and_o more_o of_o representation_n but_o these_o be_v more_o in_o the_o spirit_n under_o the_o gospel_n we_o worship_v now_o in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n not_o by_o representation_n we_o under_o the_o law_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o the_o gospel_n ordinance_n be_v so_o few_o so_o plain_a and_o poor_a to_o the_o eye_n that_o the_o soul_n may_v not_o be_v take_v up_o with_o the_o sign_n but_o with_o thing_n spiritual_a and_o we_o may_v observe_v that_o as_o little_a as_o can_v be_v of_o outward_a element_n be_v make_v use_n on_o as_o in_o baptism_n mere_a water_n and_o in_o the_o supper_n wine_n and_o bread_n and_o the_o first_o ordinance_n be_v call_v the_o baptism_n of_o the_o spirit_n not_o of_o water_n and_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n the_o

we_o have_v no_o more_o and_o further_o what_o be_v it_o that_o be_v say_v of_o grace_n come_v in_o by_o the_o eye_n this_o be_v the_o way_n the_o papist_n let_v in_o christ_n have_v make_v the_o eye_n rather_o the_o organ_n for_o conversion_n then_o the_o ear_n now_o faith_n come_v by_o hear_v and_o therefore_o all_o their_o idolatrous_a picture_n their_o imagery_n and_o theabical_a

and_o further_o what_o be_v it_o that_o be_v say_v of_o work_a grace_n by_o the_o eye_n as_o if_o the_o carnal_a part_n can_v advantage_v conversion_n by_o any_o power_n there_o but_o such_o a_o power_n as_o be_v mere_o carnal_a and_o natural_a what_o can_v all_o these_o sign_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n do_v upon_o a_o blind_a soul_n as_o all_o unregenerate_a man_n be_v what_o be_v the_o

spiritual_o enlighten_v before_o and_o have_v a_o discern_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o the_o apostle_n say_v he_o that_o eat_v and_o drink_v unworthy_o eat_v and_o drink_v damnation_n to_o himself_o not_o discern_v the_o lord_n body_n which_o if_o the_o supper_n have_v be_v a_o convert_a ordinance_n the_o apostle_n will_v not_o have_v charge_v the_o unworthy_a from_o receive_v but_o

be_v because_o one_o thing_n be_v therefore_o another_o thing_n be_v this_o be_v but_o the_o old_a argument_n but_o god_n may_v sanctify_v any_o thing_n at_o his_o own_o pleasure_n to_o make_v way_n for_o conversion_n and_o yet_o that_o no_o institute_v ordinance_n for_o conversion_n neither_o because_o some_o have_v be_v convert_v when_o afflict_v when_o sick_a when_o poor_a therefore_o will_v you_o first_o go_v afflict_v they_o and_o make_v they_o sick_a and_o poor_a take_v all_o they_o have_v from_o they_o that_o you_o may_v convert_v they_o and_o so_o make_v they_o stand_v ordinance_n three_o be_v a_o rule_n of_o contrary_n a_o rule_n in_o the_o scripture_n or_o in_o logic_n but_o it_o be_v say_v worthy_a receive_n be_v a_o instrument_n of_o conversion_n that_o be_v conversion_n

than_o it_o shall_v convert_v this_o how_o be_v it_o possible_a be_v like_o that_o of_o why_o shall_v it_o not_o both_o of_o one_o strength_n to_o prove_v it_o for_o though_o the_o end_n be_v never_o
