A85545	A defence of Christian liberty to the Lords table; except in case of excommunication and suspension. Wherein many arguments, queres, suppositions, and objections are answered by plain texts, and consent of scriptures. As also some positions answered by way of a short conference which the author hath had with divers, both in citie and countrey. All which are profitable to inform to truth, and lawfull obedience to authoritie. / By John Graunt, who beareth witnesse to the faith. Published according to order.	Graunt, John, of Bucklersbury.	1646 (1646)	Wing G1591; Thomason E330_22; ESTC R200727	25,078	32

another_o be_v not_o commit_v into_o his_o hand_n presume_v of_o himself_o and_o be_v a_o intruder_n but_o this_o be_v not_o prove_v to_o be_v the_o case_n of_o a_o believer_n that_o be_v baptise_v to_o communicate_v in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n therefore_o the_o instance_n fail_v for_o your_o purpose_n now_o to_o put_v a_o end_n to_o all_o further_a dispute_n upon_o these_o two_o point_n that_o judas_n do_v communicate_v or_o pa●ticipate_v in_o the_o lord_n supper_n with_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o that_o the_o sacrament_n be_v of_o a_o teach_a use_n and_o operation_n as_o strengthen_v and_o confirm_v i_o state_n both_o the_o question_n affirmative_o and_o negative_o the_o affirmative_a of_o both_o question_n that_o judas_n be_v present_a at_o the_o institution_n and_o distribution_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n and_o that_o the_o external_a element_n be_v of_o teach_v use_n be_v prove_v plain_o by_o these_o two_o scripture_n luke_n 22._o 4._o 21._o 1_o cor._n 11._o 26._o but_o i_o challenge_v the_o whole_a world_n to_o prove_v the_o negative_a that_o the_o element_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n do_v not_o teach_v and_o that_o judas_n be_v not_o present_a at_o the_o institution_n and_o by_o the_o way_n take_v notice_n that_o no_o absurdity_n can_v possible_o be_v a_o consequence_n of_o truth_n but_o err_v and_o mistake_v admit_v of_o little_a else_o for_o if_o the_o ordinance_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n have_v not_o a_o teach_n and_o inform_v quality_n than_o it_o be_v useless_a to_o all_o the_o unregenerate_a yea_o to_o all_o the_o elect_a before_o reg●neration_n which_o be_v such_o a_o absurdity_n to_o affirm_v that_o god_n outward_a and_o common_a ordinance_n be_v of_o no_o use_n but_o unprofitable_a and_o that_o god_n ordain_v any_o thing_n in_o vain_a this_o be_v so_o gross_a that_o it_o cross_v all_o scripture_n for_o they_o general_o affirm_v that_o all_o that_o god_n have_v make_v or_o ordain_v show_v forth_o and_o teach_v his_o glory_n psa._n 75._o 1._o again_o if_o none_o but_o the_o regenerate_a shall_v communicate_v of_o the_o supper_n of_o the_o lord_n the_o paucity_n be_v such_o as_o the_o scripture_n witness_v that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o of_o a_o city_n and_o two_o of_o a_o tribe_n yea_o it_o will_v also_o follow_v that_o he_o that_o bless_v and_o distribute_v the_o bread_n and_o wine_n must_v know_v the_o receiver_n conversion_n or_o else_o he_o sin_v in_o communicate_v it_o these_o and_o a_o hundred_o more_o absurdity_n will_v follow_v that_o a_o wise_a man_n will_v blush_v to_o think_v of_o for_o if_o this_o be_v so_o than_o the_o same_o thing_n that_o show_v forth_o christ_n under_o the_o gospel_n shall_v not_o be_v so_o useful_a to_o believer_n as_o the_o shadow_n under_o the_o law_n and_o this_o be_v to_o turn_v the_o day_n into_o night_n the_o light_n into_o darkness_n the_o last_o thing_n i_o intend_v now_o to_o publish_v be_v some_o few_o short_a conference_n i_o have_v meet_v with_o in_o city_n and_o country_n and_o all_o may_v be_v reduce_v into_o these_o two_o position_n the_o first_o position_n that_o select_a congregation_n be_v church_n right_o ordain_v and_o true_o constitute_v and_o that_o each_o congregation_n be_v free_a and_o independent_a either_o from_o other_o my_o defence_n to_o the_o first_o position_n in_o this_o first_o position_n we_o must_v consider_v four_o thing_n first_o that_o the_o gatherer_n and_o avoucher_n of_o select_a congregation_n be_v christian_n in_o profession_n not_o in_o authority_n but_o under_o christian_a authority_n and_o member_n of_o christian_a congregation_n in_o communion_n in_o all_o god_n external_a ordinance_n and_o in_o all_o these_o respect_n be_v those_o also_o that_o they_o gather_v to_o themselves_o second_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o congregation_n for_o asmuch_o as_o there_o be_v three_o sort_n of_o they_o that_o be_v first_o authorize_v congregation_n second_o select_v or_o covenant_v congregation_n in_o opposition_n to_o authority_n and_o three_o spiritual_a or_o voluntary_a congregation_n the_o communion_n of_o saint_n and_o the_o last_o part_n of_o the_o posi●ion_n be_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o congregational_a independency_n in_o the_o first_o place_n therefore_o we_o must_v consider_v that_o all_o select●d_fw-mi congregation_n in_o england_n teacher_n and_o people_n be_v christian_n in_o profession_n and_o already_o in_o communion_n and_o fellowship_n in_o the_o ordinance_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v all_o under_o christian_a authority_n and_o notwithstanding_o all_o this_o they_o do_v take_v up_o and_o assume_v authority_n to_o themselves_o so_o to_o select_v and_o congregate_a as_o they_o do_v in_o opposition_n to_o authority_n to_o which_o they_o be_v subject_v of_o god_n and_o for_o proof_n of_o this_o their_o practice_n they_o allege_v the_o example_n of_o john_n the_o baptist_n mat._n 3._o 1_o 2_o 5._o our_o saviour_n christ_n mark_n 1._o 14_o 15_o 16._o and_o the_o apostle_n act_n 2._o 37_o 38_o 41_o 42._o act_n 11._o 20_o 21_o 22._o now_o i_o deny_v that_o any_o of_o these_o scripture_n come_v home_o to_o prove_v the_o state_n of_o your_o question_n or_o warrant_v your_o practice_n for_o john_n our_o lord_n and_o the_o apostle_n teach_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o jesus_n be_v the_o christ_n the_o messiah_n prophesy_v of_o to_o such_o jew_n as_o be_v not_o believer_n but_o opposer_n of_o it_o and_o they_o and_o such_o by_o their_o ministry_n convert_v to_o the_o faith_n which_o faith_n be_v believe_v and_o confess_v by_o such_o christian_n as_o you_o select_a to_o yourselves_o and_o second_o the_o greek_n that_o be_v convert_v act_n 11._o 20._o be_v so_o convert_v from_o heathenism_n to_o christianism_n but_o this_o be_v not_o your_o case_n nor_o practice_n for_o you_o pervert_v christian_n from_o sound_n and_o wholesome_a doctrine_n to_o vain_a jangle_n about_o word_n that_o edify_v not_o and_o from_o those_o assemble_v assign_v by_o christian_a authority_n to_o such_o as_o be_v of_o your_o own_o ordain_v devise_v and_o constitute_v the_o matter_n and_o form_n thereof_o be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v in_o god_n word_n now_o if_o any_o of_o you_o all_o can_v show_v i_o a_o people_n that_o you_o have_v gain_v from_o among_o the_o jew_n and_o from_o among_o the_o heathen_n to_o the_o acknowledgement_n and_o confession_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o that_o by_o your_o ministry_n that_o they_o have_v not_o only_o believe_v the_o truth_n but_o obey_v it_o in_o the_o power_n of_o it_o to_o the_o effect_n in_o they_o repentance_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n then_o i_o will_v speak_v and_o change_v my_o discourse_n to_o another_o sense_n but_o in_o regard_n you_o assume_v that_o which_o you_o be_v not_o i_o will_v only_o testify_v unto_o you_o that_o that_o which_o you_o do_v be_v not_o warrantable_a by_o scripture_n but_o it_o be_v your_o own_o carnal_a fancy_n and_o imagination_n now_o the_o second_o thing_n in_o the_o position_n be_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o congregation_n and_o in_o the_o threefold_a distinction_n the_o first_o be_v authorize_v congregation_n which_o be_v usual_o call_v parish_n and_o that_o be_v to_o say_v so_o many_o family_n assign_v by_o authority_n to_o make_v a_o congregation_n to_o communicate_v in_o god_n ordinance_n for_o the_o salvation_n of_o the_o people_n and_o to_o that_o end_n authority_n have_v ordain_v a_o way_n that_o their_o teacher_n or_o teacher_n sh●uld_v be_v a_o man_n approve_v of_o for_o able_a gift_n that_o a_o time_n or_o time_n in_o the_o week_n be_v appoint_v that_o man_n shall_v dispense_v with_o neglect_n and_o lay_v aside_o their_o worldly_a employment_n and_o affair_n and_o meet_v together_o in_o the_o communion_n and_o participution_n of_o god_n ordinance_n and_o to_o that_o end_n have_v appoint_v a_o place_n for_o prayer_n read_v and_o expound_v the_o scripture_n for_o doctrine_n exhortation_n and_o preach_v as_o also_o for_o communion_n in_o baptism_n and_o the_o lord_n supper_n and_o be_v not_o all_o these_o thing_n in_o themselves_o good_a and_o lawful_a and_o if_o they_o be_v so_o what_o ground_n have_v you_o then_o for_o dislike_n and_o separation_n nay_o have_v we_o not_o ground_n by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o give_v thanks_o for_o such_o governor_n that_o be_v in_o authority_n over_o we_o and_o be_v not_o their_o ordinance_n and_o rule_n such_o without_o which_o we_o can_v communicate_v in_o the_o outward_a ordinance_n of_o god_n wherefore_o let_v we_o acknowledge_v their_o authority_n and_o obey_v their_o rule_n but_o in_o the_o next_o place_n the_o select_a congregation_n allege_v 2_o cor._n 6._o 17._o and_o rev._n 18._o 4._o for_o their_o separation_n and_o selection_n for_o as_o much_o as_o the_o holy_a ghost_n say_v come_v out_o from_o among_o they_o mean_v corrupt_a christian_a congregation_n and_o be_v you_o
