A85542	Christians liberty to the Lords table, discovered by eight arguments, therby proving, that the Sacrament of the body and blood of our Lord, doth as well teach to grace, as strengthen and confirm grace, and so is common, as well to the outward Christian as to the inward Christian: occasioned by the contrary doctrine, taught by a strange minister in Woolchurch, on the 29th of June last. / By I.G a parishioner there. Imprimatur, James Cranford.	Graunt, John, of Bucklersbury.	1645 (1645)	Wing G1589; Thomason E296_30; ESTC R200217	18,658	23

not_o at_o all_o disable_v for_o this_o sense_n be_v not_o strain_v but_o true_a and_o proper_a his_o answer_n to_o my_o seven_o argument_n it_o be_v to_o this_o purpose_n that_o he_o make_v two_o

29._o speak_v of_o a_o carnal_a jew_n under_o the_o law_n and_o of_o a_o spiritual_a jew_n under_o the_o gospel_n but_o never_o say_v he_o have_v i_o hear_v before_o of_o a_o carnal_a christian_a and_o in_o the_o second_o place_n he_o say_v that_o by_o his_o argument_n he_o will_v have_v all_o man_n admit_v to_o the_o sacrament_n all_o without_o exception_n fool_n idiot_n and_o madman_n nay_o

wonder_v you_o shall_v be_v so_o ignorant_a of_o the_o scripture_n and_o yet_o take_v upon_o you_o to_o be_v a_o teacher_n for_o to_o be_v carnal_a be_v to_o be_v in_o the_o flesh_n and_o do_v not_o the_o apostle_n in_o one_o word_n resolve_v the_o question_n gal._n 4._o 29._o but_o as_o he_o that_o be_v bear_v after_o the_o flesh_n persecute_v he_o that_o be_v bear_v after_o the_o spirit_n even_o so_o be_v it_o now_o that_o be_v in_o the_o apostle_n time_n and_o ever_o since_o also_o as_o in_o all_o the_o seven_o church_n of_o asia_n and_o in_o the_o church_n of_o corinth_n 1_o cor._n 3._o 3._o be_v you_o not_o carnal_a say_v the_o apostle_n and_o also_o among_o we_o at_o this_o time_n for_o one_o spiritual_a christian_a there_o be_v ninety_o nine_o carnal_a and_o in_o the_o

thereby_o write_v a_o monument_n of_o your_o ignorance_n for_o look_v back_o to_o the_o 14_o 15_o 26._o and_o 27._o verse_n and_o they_o will_v show_v you_o the_o meaning_n but_o those_o truth_n be_v beyond_o your_o capacity_n you_o also_o say_v i_o argue_v weak_o and_o ignorant_o to_o argue_v from_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o passover_n to_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n for_o you_o say_v if_o that_o be_v so_o than_o fool_n and_o idiot_n madman_n and_o child_n may_v be_v admit_v but_o this_o be_v your_o simple_a and_o weak_a inference_n and_o not_o i_o for_o read_v again_o and_o you_o shall_v see_v that_o i_o be_v this_o if_o carnal_a man_n as_o well_o as_o spiritual_a man_n be_v admit_v to_o the_o passover_n then_o carnal_a man_n as_o well_o as_o spiritual_a may_v be_v admit_v to_o the_o sacrament_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o they_o be_v both_o sign_n of_o the_o same_o substance_n agree_v with_o the_o apostle_n doctrine_n they_o do_v all_o eat_v the_o

to_o we_o under_o our_o sacrament_n 1_o cor._n 10._o 16._o 17._o and_o this_o st._n paul_n preach_v for_o truth_n 1_o cor._n 5._o 7._o it_o be_v the_o very_a substance_n of_o my_o argument_n christ_n our_o passover_n be_v crucify_v or_o slay_v for_o we_o say_v the_o apostle_n of_o who_o bread_n and_o wine_n be_v sign_n under_o the_o gospel_n as_o the_o paschall_n lamb_n do_v shadow_n forth_o under_o the_o law_n the_o same_o christ_n and_o this_o argument_n you_o have_v in_o no_o sense_n answer_v at_o all_o and_o therefore_o it_o stand_v still_o prove_v that_o carnal_a christian_n as_o
