A85050	Vindiciæ mediorum & mediatoris. or, the present reigning errour arraigned, at the barr of Scripture and reason. Wherein is discovered the falshood and danger of that late borne opinion, that pretends to an immediate enjoyment and call of the Spirit of God, both above and against its owne fffects, [sic] cause, word, ministry, and witness, in all respects. Occasioned by a pamphlet, intituled, The saints travell to the land of Canaan, or a discovery of seventeen false rests, &c. By one R. Wilkinson, a preacher of this errour about Totnes in the West. In the treatise following, the reader shall finde, most of the maine fundamentall doctrinall truths that this age doth controvert, faithfully vindicated, cleared, confirmed. By F. Fullwood, minister of the Gospell at Staple Fitzpane in the county of Somerset.	Fullwood, Francis, d. 1693.	1651 (1651)	Wing F2521; Thomason E1281_1; ESTC R202060	131,348	337

the_o punishment_n 3._o lam._n 3._o of_o his_o sin_n the_o consequence_n be_v clear_a as_o the_o sun_n for_o what_o the_o spirit_n have_v reveal_v to_o we_o we_o can_v have_v a_o ignorant_a

the_o assumption_n to_o they_o that_o deny_v the_o scripture_n viz._n that_o there_o be_v more_o truth_n in_o scripture_n than_o the_o spirit_n have_v yet_o reveal_v to_o any_o they_o will_v be_v

inspire_v with_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n than_o other_o even_o among_o themselves_o now_o that_o revelation_n that_o have_v honour_v they_o above_o and_o beyond_o their_o brethren_n be_v either_o

spirit_n do_v reveal_v i_o must_v needs_o know_v there_o can_v be_v no_o sin_n of_o unbeleif_n for_o so_o far_o as_o the_o spirit_n persuade_v and_o enlighten_v i_o must_v and_o can_v but_o assent_v there_o can_v be_v no_o actual_a sin_n at_o all_o among_o the_o heathen_n for_o they_o either_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n or_o not_o the_o first_o be_v too_o absurd_a to_o be_v imagine_v then_o if_o they_o have_v not_o the_o spirit_n they_o can_v have_v the_o law_n reveal_v to_o they_o by_o it_o therefore_o the_o law_n concern_v they_o not_o and_o where_o there_o be_v no_o law_n there_o be_v no_o transgression_n the_o man_n of_o sin_n himself_o as_o so_o can_v sin_v i_o against_o the_o gospel_n the_o saint_n or_o christ_n since_o he_o be_v not_o persuade_v by_o the_o spirit_n
