A85329	Londons gate to the Lords Table. Where the eldership doth sit doing their office aright, in discovering and shutting out the ignorant, prophane, and meere civill honest man : in suspending the suspected formall, legall, and antinomisticall professor, and in drawing in the weakest humble beleeving soule. In a dialogue betweene a minister of the Gospell. Alexander an ignorant prophane man. Simon a proud professor. And Matthias an humble penitent. Imprimatur Edmund Calamy.	Fisher, Edward, fl. 1627-1655.	1646 (1646)	Wing F995; Thomason E1213_1; ESTC R210120	58,722	302

that_o the_o jew_n speak_v against_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v speak_v by_o paul_n contradict_v and_o blaspheme_v whereupon_o paul_n and_o barnabas_n wax_v bold_a say_v the_o text_n verse_n 46._o

very_o holy_a and_o righteous_a according_a to_o the_o law_n yet_o because_o they_o be_v proud_a of_o their_o own_o knowledge_n and_o put_v confidence_n in_o their_o own_o righteousness_n and_o see_v

we_o read_v in_o the_o 22._o chapter_n of_o st._n matthews_n gospel_n that_o there_o be_v some_o that_o be_v invite_v to_o a_o feast_n which_o the_o king_n make_v at_o the_o marriage_n of_o his_o

the_o wedding_n be_v ready_a but_o they_o that_o be_v bid_v be_v not_o worthy_a whereby_o you_o may_v also_o perceive_v that_o this_o unmeet_a and_o unsuitable_a disposition_n in_o not_o see_v a_o
