A91779	Gemitus plebis: or A mournful complaint and supplication in behalf of the more weak and ignorant of the people of this nation. Drawn up for them by a friend, whose deep sense of his own ignorance and weakness, hath taught him to be compassionate towards all that labour under the same infirmities. / By C. Raie.

conceive_v that_o the_o communion_n of_o christian_n one_o with_o another_o lie_v as_o true_o though_o peradventure_o with_o some_o gradual_a difference_n in_o prayer_n as_o in_o break_v of_o bread_n and_o that_o the_o vast_a difference_n that_o now_o we_o have_v 42_o act._n 2._o 42_o make_v admit_v all_o to_o communion_n in_o one_o and_o so_o few_o in_o the_o other_o be_v never_o learn_v from_o the_o rule_n or_o example_n in_o scripture_n nor_o yet_o from_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n whether_o jewish_n or_o christian_a and_o consequent_o that_o if_o we_o will_v bring_v

these_o suspension_n never_o so_o clear_o prove_v by_o scripture_n yet_o it_o seem_v just_o questionable_a whether_o christian_a prudence_n guide_v by_o scripture-light_n will_v admit_v they_o to_o
