A86891	A second vindication of a disciplinary, anti-Erastian, orthodox free-admission to the Lords-Supper; or, The state of this controversie revised and proposed: for the fuller understanding of the most, as to the grounds whereon it stands; and more especially for the ease, and clearer proceeding of those, that shall write about it, whether for it, or against it. / By John Humfrey, min: of Froome.

either_o express_o or_o by_o consequence_n from_o scripture_n as_o suspension_n distinct_a from_o excommunication_n sect_n 10._o for_o the_o former_a of_o these_o question_n it_o seem_v to_o i_o as_o be_v before_o say_v that_o be_v the_o presbyterian_a judgement_n right_a and_o uniform_a to_o its_o self_n i_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o have_v any_o dispute_n with_o they_o for_o if_o suspension_n

argument_n from_o the_o distinct_a nature_n of_o this_o ordinance_n that_o will_v conclude_v this_o exclusion_n though_o there_o be_v no_o discipline_n be_v of_o sufficient_a force_n for_o it_o it_o there_o be_v one_o such_o then_o be_v this_o exclusion_n thereby_o prove_v to_o belong_v to_o the_o minister_n office_n in_o his_o faithful_a administration_n of_o the_o ordinance_n as_o before_o and_o not_o to_o the_o power_n of_o jurisdiction_n nevertheless_o for_o aught_o i_o see_v when_o they_o come_v to_o dispute_v it_o be_v these_o argument_n main_o they_o stand_v upon_o and_o therefore_o for_o my_o own_o part_n upon_o consideration_n of_o those_o perplexity_n which_o arise_v from_o hence_o on_o tender_a conscience_n together_o with_o the_o injury_n that_o be_v hereby_o

long_o as_o we_o be_v one_o body_n we_o be_v one_o bread_n and_o partaker_n of_o that_o one_o bread_n i_o must_v yet_o follow_v moreover_o if_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v
