A85043	The churches and ministery of England, true churches and true ministery. Cleared, and proved, in a sermon / preach'd the 4th of May at Wiviliscombe; before a numerous congregation assembled together to hear the opposition, which had been long threatned to be made that day, by Mr Collier and others of his party, who, with the greatest strength the West would afford them, were present at the sermon. Wherein were these five things undeniably proved: 1. That a mixture of prophane and scandalous persons with reall saints, is not inconsistent with the Church of God or a true church. ... 5. And then, they also must needs be guilty, who forsake true churches and a lawfull ministry, to follow and hear unsent preachers. By Francis Fullwood minister of the Gospel at Staple Fitzpane in the county of Somerset. Before it there is an epistle and preface, shewing the manner, and a narrative subjoyned shewing the substance of the dispute after the sermon, (both which lasted nine hours.) Set forth by the ministers that were at the dispute, and attested under their hands.

a_o apparent_a seal_n to_o his_o commission_n to_o make_v its_o authority_n know_v to_o such_o as_o question_v it_o but_o this_o be_v our_o comfort_n that_o we_o can_v say_v without_o boast_v the_o

in_o your_o conversion_n and_o confirmation_n in_o your_o increase_n in_o knowledge_n grace_n and_o comfort_n in_o your_o perseverance_n to_o the_o end_n though_o through_o fire_n and_o sword_n when_o occasion_n of_o martyrdom_n or_o persecution_n have_v call_v you_o to_o it_o thanks_o be_v to_o god_n for_o so_o good_a a_o seal_n both_o of_o your_o redemption_n and_o our_o commission_n which_o the_o devil_n or_o his_o instrument_n shall_v never_o be_v able_a to_o cancel_v now_o consider_v in_o a_o word_n and_o i_o have_v do_v with_o this_o can_v we_o as_o i_o have_v show_v have_v the_o

of_o christ_n and_o yet_o be_v antichristian_a true_o who_o these_o thing_n will_v not_o satisfy_v i_o must_v leave_v unsatisfied_a cap._n v._o that_o they_o be_v guilty_a of_o a_o great_a sin_n that_o presume_v to_o preach_v without_o a_o call_n thus_o we_o be_v come_v to_o the_o four_o conclusion_n for_o if_o our_o church_n as_o we_o have_v prove_v be_v true_a church_n and_o the_o ministry_n of_o they_o true_a minister_n as_o our_o very_a adversary_n can_v but_o grant_v if_o they_o will_v but_o acknowledge_v themselves_o or_o god_n their_o own_o principle_n be_v god_n word_n then_o there_o be_v a_o preacher_n the_o sin_n of_o unsent_a preacher_n great_a and_o heavy_a sin_n lie_v at_o the_o door_n of_o all_o such_o as_o do_v offer_v to_o preach_v public_o without_o a_o

poor_a land_n of_o we_o without_o a_o amaze_a bleed_a heart_n it_o have_v put_v the_o foundation_n out_o of_o frame_n and_o what_o can_v the_o righteous_a do_v but_o shall_v not_o god_n be_v avenge_v on_o such_o a_o nation_n as_o this_o i_o wonder_v the_o earth_n do_v not_o open_a again_o and_o swallow_n both_o they_o and_o we_o up_o quick_a be_v not_o the_o sin_n of_o corah_n and_o his_o

lord_n people_n be_v holy_a the_o son_n of_o levi_n take_v too_o much_o upon_o they_o then_o o_o then_o what_o patience_n be_v it_o that_o bear_v up_o the_o earth_n under_o these_o man_n that_o hold_v the_o heaven_n from_o fall_v upon_o they_o and_o dash_v they_o down_o into_o hell_n that_o they_o yet_o perish_v not_o in_o the_o gainsaying_n of_o corah_n but_o there_o be_v spiritual_a judgement_n somewhat_o more_o suitable_a to_o spiritual_a time_n which_o i_o fear_v be_v prepare_v for_o these_o man_n to_o be_v cast_v into_o a_o gulf_n though_o not_o of_o the_o earth_n of_o error_n which_o be_v worse_o to_o be_v give_v over_o to_o a_o reprobate_a mind_n and_o strong_a delusion_n to_o believe_v lie_n for_o i_o must_v needs_o observe_v that_o they_o so_o soon_o as_o they_o fall_v to_o this_o trade_n of_o preach_v they_o present_o vent_v most_o dangerous_a error_n whence_o i_o conclude_v that_o none_o dare_v presume_v to_o preach_v unsent_a but_o man_n of_o such_o erroneous_a and_o

i_o be_o indeed_o incline_v the_o rather_o to_o believe_v because_o such_o be_v the_o punishment_n of_o the_o jewish_a nation_n for_o the_o like_a sin_n and_o what_o be_v that_o but_o a_o kill_a the_o

this_o their_o sin_n even_o that_o that_o have_v remain_v as_o a_o plague_n to_o their_o heart_n for_o above_o this_o sixteen_o hundred_o year_n and_o what_o be_v that_o read_v roman_n 11._o 8._o and_o see_v how_o like_a it_o be_v to_o that_o which_o these_o man_n though_o past-feeling_a labour_n under_o god_n have_v say_v the_o text_n give_v they_o the_o spirit_n of_o slumber_n eye_n that_o

not_o any_o preach_v that_o be_v able_a answ_n there_o be_v a_o know_a distinction_n or_o two_o that_o may_v end_v the_o controversy_n 1._o we_o must_v distinguish_v of_o the_o state_n of_o the_o
