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

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
