A86891	A second vindication of a disciplinary, anti-Erastian, orthodox free-admission to the Lords-Supper; or, The state of this controversie revised and proposed: for the fuller understanding of the most, as to the grounds whereon it stands; and more especially for the ease, and clearer proceeding of those, that shall write about it, whether for it, or against it. / By John Humfrey, min: of Froome.

proceed_n unto_o censure_n which_o will_v stop_v their_o mouth_n they_o on_o the_o contrary_n will_v turn_v upon_o we_o and_o rend_v we_o withal_o trample_v thereupon_o by_o not_o care_v at_o all_o for_o it_o whether_o or_o no_o be_v not_o this_o rather_o a_o plain_a breach_n in_o the_o want_n of_o prudence_n of_o this_o rule_n see_v suspension_n of_o they_o be_v suppose_v to_o be_v a_o holy_a

concern_v free-admission_n to_o the_o lord_n supper_n on_o the_o one_o hand_n of_o such_o who_o be_v too_o large_a for_o it_o and_o the_o other_o of_o such_o as_o be_v too_o strict_a against_o it_o there_o be_v some_o then_o as_o have_v be_v touch_v before_o that_o plead_v for_o free_a admission_n not_o only_o in_o regard_n of_o worship_n but_o also_o in_o regard_n of_o discipline_n disclaim_v all_o exclusion_n from_o any_o of_o the_o public_a ordinance_n of_o god_n by_o the_o censure_n of_o the_o church_n and_o indeed_o deny_v all_o ecclesiastical_a government_n distinct_a from_o the_o civil_a where_o the_o magistrate_n be_v christian_a there_o be_v other_o that_o plead_v against_o free_a admission_n not_o only_o in_o point_n of_o discipline_n but_o also_o in_o point_n of_o worship_n herein_o advance_v the_o sacrament_n above_o all_o other_o ordinance_n that_o those_o who_o have_v a_o grant_v right_o to_o all_o other_o part_n of_o god_n worship_n and_o church-communion_n as_o baptise_a member_n be_v deni-to_a have_v any_o right_n unto_o the_o sacrament_n though_o they_o be_v yet_o under_o church-indulgence_n and_o not_o censure_v the_o sacrament_n say_v they_o require_v truth_n of_o grace_n in_o the_o receiver_n unless_o a_o man_n be_v regenerate_v on_o his_o own_o part_n he_o be_v forbid_v to_o come_v and_o consequent_o unless_o upon_o trial_n and_o examination_n there_o be_v some_o evidence_n that_o he_o be_v visible_o or_o probable_o such_o on_o the_o church_n part_n he_o must_v not_o be_v admit_v in_o the_o middle_n between_o these_o extreme_n my_o opinion_n and_o the_o truth_n as_o i_o think_v without_o engage_v other_o do_v lie_v affirm_v against_o the_o former_a who_o be_v the_o erastians_n that_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v set_v up_o a_o power_n of_o the_o key_n in_o the_o church_n as_o i_o have_v say_v before_o and_o that_o the_o scripture_n be_v manifest_a for_o a_o exclusion_n of_o some_o person_n to_o wit_n the_o scandalous_a and_o obstinate_a from_o christian_n communion_n in_o general_n and_o so_o consequent_o from_o the_o lord_n supper_n as_o a_o part_n thereof_o nevertheless_o i_o do_v assert_v likewise_o against_o the_o latter_a that_o there_o be_v no_o scripture_n for_o the_o exclusion_n of_o any_o from_o this_o sacrament_n without_o discipline_n but_o that_o administer_a and_o receive_v the_o lord_n supper_n be_v as_o free_a and_o universal_a in_o the_o nature_n thereof_o to_o our_o member_n as_o other_o part_n of_o church-communion_n the_o same_o qualification_n be_v require_v to_o effectual_a prayer_n and_o other_o part_n of_o god_n worship_n as_o to_o the_o sacrament_n and_o as_o the_o want_n hereof_o put_v no_o bar_n to_o the_o one_o no_o more_o do_v it_o to_o the_o other_o it_o shall_v never_o be_v prove_v i_o believe_v that_o the_o scripture_n have_v advance_v this_o difference_n between_o the_o sacrament_n and_o other_o ordinance_n that_o herein_o alone_o it_o must_v be_v better_a to_o omit_v the_o matter_n and_o manner_n both_o than_o to_o do_v the_o matter_n if_o it_o be_v not_o do_v in_o such_o manner_n as_o it_o ought_v direct_o contrary_a to_o all_o other_o duty_n in_o short_a then_o neither_o the_o erastian_n nor_o rigid_a suspensioner_n must_v have_v their_o will_n in_o point_n of_o discipline_n free-admission_n be_v to_o be_v deny_v against_o the_o one_o in_o point_n of_o worship_n free-admission_n be_v to_o be_v maintain_v against_o the_o other_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n very_o considerable_a in_o the_o hold_v any_o point_n upon_o what_o ground_n it_o be_v we_o hold_v it_o those_o that_o oppose_v i_o in_o my_o opinion_n be_v very_o hot_a for_o a_o exclusion_n from_o the_o sacrament_n and_o i_o for_o my_o own_o part_n do_v allow_v and_o uphold_v the_o

for_o this_o exclusion_n against_o free-admission_n may_v be_v reduce_v to_o these_o two_o head_n either_o to_o such_o as_o do_v arise_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o sacrament_n as_o distinct_a herein_o from_o all_o other_o part_n of_o church-communion_n or_o to_o such_o as_o do_v arise_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o discipline_n that_o respect_v the_o communion_n of_o the_o church_n in_o general_n and_o so_o this_o sacrament_n in_o common_a with_o the_o other_o part_n thereof_o argument_n of_o the_o latter_a sort_n be_v those_o and_o those_o only_o which_o be_v from_o such_o text_n let_v he_o be_v to_o thou_o as_o a_o heathen_a keep_v no_o company_n with_o such_o pu●ge_v out_o the_o old_a leven_fw-mi avoid_v withdraw_v from_o they_o put_v away_o from_o yourselves_o such_o a_o

general_a therefore_o from_o the_o sacrament_n also_o these_o argument_n now_o i_o conceive_v be_v firm_a free-admission_n as_o erastus_n hold_v it_o i_o maintain_v not_o argument_n of_o the_o

every_o one_o else_o do_v but_o necessary_o eat_v and_o drink_v damnation_n in_o the_o apostle_n sense_n with_o the_o like_a now_o these_o argument_n i_o conceive_v be_v to_o be_v satisfy_v &_o take_v off_o as_o such_o as_o be_v both_o invalid_a and_o do_v hurt_v free-admission_n will_v stand_v for_o all_o they_o alas_o be_v all_o such_o argument_n conclusive_a and_o true_a what_o will_v become_v of_o the_o poor_a doubtful_a christian_n how_o shall_v he_o act_v in_o faith_n how_o shall_v the_o minister_n himself_o act_n what_o will_v become_v of_o the_o church_n unity_n and_o peace_n the_o command_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o foundation_n of_o discipline_n if_o it_o be_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o sacrament_n and_o these_o ground_n upon_o which_o man_n be_v to_o be_v exclude_v then_o must_v they_o be_v exclude_v if_o there_o be_v no_o discipline_n then_o must_v the_o keep_n away_o of_o such_o not_o be_v a_o act_n of_o vindicative_a but_o distributive_a justice_n as_o a_o godly_a father_n shut_v his_o stubborn_a son_n from_o prayer_n in_o his_o family_n and_o from_o his_o presence_n so_o do_v the_o church_n as_o i_o conceive_v exclude_v her_o refractory_a child_n it_o
