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

one_o which_o himself_o lay_v down_o as_o occasional_a or_o evidential_a for_o the_o damnation_n and_o harden_v some_o though_o i_o scarce_o allow_v he_o that_o that_o ordinance_n of_o mercy_n and_o

have_v order_v it_o yet_o by_o a_o pure_a gospel_n rule_n which_o if_o wicked_a man_n will_v come_v up_o to_o they_o hazard_v great_a condemnation_n further_o we_o may_v infer_v that_o thing_n may_v

of_o our_o own_o conjecture_n or_o suppose_v probable_a reason_n which_o i_o be_o confident_a be_v too_o too_o gross_a to_o be_v in_o the_o learned_a author_n intentional_o though_o not_o

according_a to_o the_o institution_n deliver_v to_o hypocrite_n yet_o be_v no_o convert_v ordinance_n god_n have_v leave_v no_o infallible_a rule_n of_o discern_v he_o but_o only_o a_o rule_n for_o

hypocrite_n may_v come_v in_o and_o do_v yet_o that_o be_v no_o sin_n to_o the_o administrator_n nor_o communicant_n so_o long_o as_o administration_n be_v order_v according_a to_o that_o rule_n and_o

of_o the_o great_a day_n of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n and_o therefore_o though_o ordinance_n be_v administer_v here_o to_o hypocrite_n yet_o at_o the_o time_n of_o the_o final_a discern_v the_o
