A45157	A second discourse about re-ordination being an answer to two or three books come out against this subject, in behalf of the many concern'd at this season, who for the sake of their ministry, and upon necessity, do yield to it, in defence of their submission / by John Humfrey, min. ; together, with his testimony, which from the good hand of the Lord, is laid upon himself, to bear, in this generation, against the evil, and to prevent, or repress (as much as by him may be possible) the danger, of the imposition.	Humfrey, John, 1621-1719.	1662 (1662)	Wing H3709; ESTC R9881	127,714	152

remember_v a_o man_n of_o strong_a mind_n rest_v himself_o alone_o in_o that_o apprehension_n in_o this_o case_n i_o suppose_v there_o be_v none_o but_o will_v judge_v that_o charity_n so_o high_o

this_o may_v be_v either_o when_o the_o thing_n as_o to_o the_o account_n upon_o which_o he_o act_v be_v sin_n indeed_o as_o in_o the_o 1_o cor._n 8._o where_o the_o apostle_n say_v some_o with_o

at_o the_o present_a of_o these_o two_o thing_n have_v that_o the_o magistrate_n can_v command_v m●_n to_o use_v a_o thing_n which_o will_v scandalize_v my_o brother_n in_o this_o sense_n which_o the_o scripture_n do_v so_o stand_v upon_o as_o to_o lay_v down_o a_o negative_a chapter_n about_o the_o same_o and_o that_o if_o he_o do_v i_o break_v not_o the_o fist_n commandment_n to_o forbear_v
