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

in_o the_o power_n of_o it_o and_o so_o when_o from_o prelacy_n they_o go_v off_o to_o presbytery_n prelacy_n fall_v and_o so_o on_o if_o you_o make_v any_o remove_n from_o the_o common_a principle_n of_o this_o presbytery_n into_o any_o of_o the_o way_n or_o part_n of_o the_o separation_n your_o presbytery_n will_v down_o too_o because_o it_o take_v in_o some_o pure_a principle_n then_o as_o we_o may_v gather_v from_o the_o vindication_n book_n it_o will_v well_o bear_v p._n but_o if_o these_o be_v then_o the_o common_a principle_n of_o this_o presbyterial_a way_n as_o he_o will_v have_v it_o to_o communicate_v in_o ordinance_n thus_o mix_o and_o to_o suspect_v no_o uncleanness_n in_o any_o spiritual_a communion_n from_o person_n so_o communicate_v though_o of_o never_o so_o unreformed_a

against_o p._n i_o perceive_v then_o in_o a_o word_n that_o the_o main_a thing_n the_o vindication-book_n drive_v at_o be_v to_o place_n presbytery_n upon_o such_o a_o mix_a uniformity_n in_o the_o partake_n of_o ordinance_n that_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o act_n of_o suspension_n or_o separation_n practise_v in_o their_o church_n lest_o the_o ground_n of_o separation_n get_v in_o and_o they_o that_o make_v conscience_n to_o separate_v or_o suspend_v in_o some_o particular_n it_o imply_v they_o may_v go_v on_o to_o a_o further_a separation_n till_o upon_o more_o degree_n of_o purity_n in_o
