A85329	Londons gate to the Lords Table. Where the eldership doth sit doing their office aright, in discovering and shutting out the ignorant, prophane, and meere civill honest man : in suspending the suspected formall, legall, and antinomisticall professor, and in drawing in the weakest humble beleeving soule. In a dialogue betweene a minister of the Gospell. Alexander an ignorant prophane man. Simon a proud professor. And Matthias an humble penitent. Imprimatur Edmund Calamy.	Fisher, Edward, fl. 1627-1655.	1646 (1646)	Wing F995; Thomason E1213_1; ESTC R210120	58,722	302

good_a i_o can_v to_o any_o of_o you_o and_o true_o neighbour_n simon_n i_o be_v sorry_a you_o go_v away_o the_o other_o day_n in_o such_o a_o discontent_a manner_n for_o i_o shall_v have_v be_v

because_o you_o be_v a_o ignorant_a and_o sinful_a man_n must_v needs_o be_v a_o unbelieved_a man_n and_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v not_o institute_v and_o ordain_v for_o any_o

that_o can_v be_v alex._n why_o sir_n i_o pray_v you_o be_v every_o ignorant_a and_o sinful_a man_n a_o unbeliever_n min._n no_o not_o so_o neither_o for_o there_o be_v a_o twofold_a ignorance_n and_o a_o twofold_a sinfulness_n that_o be_v to_o say_v there_o be_v a_o ignorance_n and_o sinfulness_n in_o part_n and_o a_o ignorance_n and_o sinfulness_n in_o whole_a now_o a_o man_n may_v be_v ignorant_a in_o part_n and_o yet_o have_v true_a faith_n in_o christ_n for_o the_o apostle_n say_v concern_v himself_o and_o other_o true_a believer_n we_o know_v but_o in_o part_n 1_o cor._n 13._o 9_o yea_o and_o a_o man_n may_v be_v also_o sinful_a in_o part_n and_o yet_o be_v a_o true_a believer_n witness_v the_o same_o apostle_n when_o he_o say_v rom._n 7._o 23._o i_o find_v a_o law_n in_o my_o member_n rebel_a against_o the_o law_n of_o my_o mind_n and_o bring_v i_o into_o captivity_n to_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n but_o if_o a_o man_n be_v whole_o ignorant_a of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o of_o himself_o and_o of_o the_o sacrament_n as_o for_o aught_o i_o yet_o perceive_v you_o be_v and_o whole_o sinful_a as_o by_o your_o own_o confession_n it_o appear_v you_o be_v than_o it_o be_v impossible_a he_o shall_v have_v true_a faith_n in_o christ_n alex._n but_o sir_n i_o hope_v i_o be_o not_o whole_o ignorant_a of_o jesus_n christ_n nor_o of_o my_o self_n nor_o of_o the_o sacrament_n min._n well_o because_o you_o say_v so_o i_o pray_v you_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o ask_v you_o two_o or_o three_o question_n and_o first_o of_o all_o i_o pray_v you_o tell_v i_o what_o be_v jesus_n christ_n alex._n why_o he_o be_v god_n only_a son_n who_o be_v conceive_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o bear_v of_o the_o virgin_n mary_n min._n but_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o god_n have_v more_o son_n then_o one_o as_o it_o be_v write_v galat._n 3._o 26._o for_o you_o be_v all_o the_o child_n of_o god_n by_o faith_n in_o christ_n jesus_n why_o do_v you_o then_o say_v that_o christ_n be_v god_n only_a son_n alex._n why_o i_o say_v so_o because_o it_o be_v so_o set_v down_o in_o the_o apostle_n creed_n which_o i_o be_o sure_a i_o say_v many_o a_o time_n and_o often_o and_o if_o it_o be_v not_o true_a i_o think_v the_o apostle_n of_o christ_n shall_v not_o have_v so_o set_v it_o down_o min._n and_o what_o be_v the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o you_o say_v christ_n be_v conceive_v by_o alex._n why_o true_o sir_n the_o holy_a ghost_n i_o think_v be_v that_o good_a spirit_n whereby_o we_o be_v guide_v and_o rule_v when_o we_o live_v and_o walk_v according_a to_o god_n will_v and_o commandment_n min._n and_o why_o be_v christ_n conceive_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n alex._n believe_v i_o sir_n that_o be_v too_o hard_a a_o question_n for_o i_o to_o answer_v and_o it_o will_v trouble_v a_o man_n that_o have_v much_o more_o knowledge_n than_o i_o to_o answer_v aright_o min._n and_o why_o do_v you_o say_v that_o christ_n be_v bear_v of_o the_o virgin_n mary_n alex._n why_o i_o say_v so_o because_o it_o be_v so_o say_v in_o my_o creed_n min._n but_o why_o be_v it_o meet_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v bear_v of_o a_o virgin_n rather_o than_o of_o another_o woman_n alex._n true_o sir_n i_o know_v no_o other_o reason_n then_o that_o i_o be_o persuade_v it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n it_o shall_v be_v so_o min._n well_o you_o confess_v you_o be_v a_o sinner_n therefore_o i_o pray_v you_o tell_v i_o how_o you_o come_v to_o be_v a_o sinner_n alex._n why_o by_o yield_v to_o the_o devil_n tentation_n and_o my_o own_o wicked_a and_o corrupt_a heart_n as_o other_o sinner_n do_v i_o think_v min._n but_o be_v you_o bear_v a_o sinner_n alex._n yea_o i_o be_v shape_v in_o iniquity_n and_o in_o sin_n do_v my_o mother_n conceive_v i_o min._n and_o be_v you_o a_o sinner_n when_o you_o be_v first_o create_v in_o adam_n alex._n yea_o sure_o or_o else_o how_o can_v i_o be_v bear_v a_o sinner_n min._n and_o what_o do_v you_o believe_v that_o christ_n have_v do_v for_o you_o alex._n why_o i_o do_v very_o believe_v that_o he_o die_v for_o i_o min._n but_o what_o warrant_v have_v you_o to_o believe_v that_o christ_n die_v for_o you_o alex._n why_o christ_n die_v for_o sinner_n and_o i_o be_o a_o sinner_n and_o therefore_o i_o do_v believe_v that_o he_o die_v for_o i_o min._n and_o do_v you_o think_v that_o christ_n die_v for_o all_o man_n alex._n yea_o indeed_o if_o he_o die_v for_o sinner_n i_o think_v he_o must_v needs_o die_v for_o all_o man_n for_o we_o be_v all_o sinner_n mi._n do_v you_o then_o believe_v that_o all_o man_n shall_v be_v save_v alex._n no_o indeed_o i_o be_o not_o so_o simple_a to_o think_v that_o all_o man_n shall_v be_v save_v for_o as_o i_o do_v believe_v there_o be_v a_o heaven_n for_o some_o so_o do_v i_o believe_v there_o be_v a_o hell_n for_o other_o min._n why_o do_v you_o then_o think_v that_o christ_n die_v in_o vain_a for_o they_o that_o be_v not_o save_v alex._n no_o sure_o i_o dare_v not_o think_v so_o min._n but_o if_o he_o die_v to_o save_v they_o and_o they_o be_v not_o save_v must_v it_o not_o needs_o follow_v that_o he_o die_v for_o they_o in_o vain_a alex._n true_o sir_n i_o can_v tell_v how_o to_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v too_o hard_a a_o question_n and_o therefore_o i_o pray_v you_o ask_v i_o no_o more_o such_o min._n well_o then_o i_o pray_v you_o tell_v i_o what_o be_v a_o sacrament_n alex._n why_o a_o sacrament_n be_v the_o lord_n supper_n min._n and_o why_o do_v you_o desire_v to_o come_v to_o the_o lord_n supper_n alex._n that_o i_o may_v there_o worship_v and_o serve_v the_o lord_n min._n well_o neighbour_n alexander_n i_o may_v ask_v you_o many_o other_o question_n touch_v these_o point_n but_o your_o answer_n to_o these_o i_o have_v already_o ask_v you_o be_v sufficient_a to_o prove_v that_o you_o be_v whole_o ignorant_a of_o christ_n of_o yourself_o and_o of_o the_o sacrament_n for_o though_o some_o of_o your_o answer_n be_v true_a yet_o as_o we_o use_v to_o say_v as_o good_a never_o a_o whit_n as_o never_o the_o better_a alex._n but_o sir_n for_o aught_o i_o see_v those_o that_o have_v most_o knowledge_n in_o religion_n and_o can_v talk_v best_a of_o it_o be_v as_o bad_a in_o their_o life_n as_o they_o that_o be_v most_o ignorant_a and_o therefore_o if_o i_o have_v but_o a_o good_a heart_n and_o a_o good_a mind_n as_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o i_o have_v i_o hope_v i_o shall_v do_v as_o well_o at_o the_o last_o as_o if_o i_o can_v talk_v and_o prate_v more_o min._n i_o but_o whatsoever_o you_o think_v of_o yourself_o and_o whatever_o your_o hope_n be_v the_o lord_n tell_v you_o prov._n 19_o 2._o that_o without_o knowledge_n the_o heart_n or_o mind_n be_v not_o good_a and_o although_o it_o be_v possible_a that_o a_o man_n of_o great_a knowledge_n may_v have_v a_o evil_a heart_n of_o unbelief_n and_o so_o perish_v yet_o it_o be_v without_o all_o question_n that_o he_o who_o have_v no_o knowledge_n have_v a_o evil_a

heart_n of_o unbelief_n and_o therefore_o shall_v perish_v as_o it_o be_v write_v hos_fw-la 3._o 6._o my_o people_n perish_v for_o want_n of_o knowledge_n alex._n and_o sir_n do_v you_o also_o think_v that_o i_o be_o whole_o sinful_a min._n yea_o indeed_o do_v i_o for_o a_o ignorant_a heart_n be_v always_o a_o sinful_a heart_n and_o a_o man_n without_o knowledge_n be_v always_o a_o man_n without_o grace_n alex._n but_o sir_n when_o you_o say_v i_o be_o whole_o sinful_a i_o pray_v you_o tell_v i_o what_o you_o mean_v for_o i_o do_v not_o well_o understand_v you_o min._n why_o i_o mean_v you_o be_v whole_o give_v over_o to_o sin_n you_o commit_v sin_n with_o greediness_n without_o any_o strife_n in_o your_o will_n and_o affection_n against_o it_o you_o love_v sin_n and_o delight_n in_o the_o commit_n of_o it_o alex._n nay_o now_o sir_n i_o see_v you_o be_v deceive_v in_o i_o for_o i_o thank_v god_n i_o do_v strive_v against_o my_o sin_n and_o will_v fain_o leave_v off_o my_o sinful_a course_n and_o as_o the_o say_n be_v my_o spirit_n be_v willing_a but_o my_o flesh_n be_v weak_a the_o lord_n be_v merciful_a unto_o i_o and_o forgive_v i_o all_o my_o sin_n as_o i_o hope_v he_o will_n min._n but_o what_o be_v your_o meaning_n when_o you_o say_v you_o do_v strive_v against_o your_o sin_n and_o will_v fain_o leave_v they_o alex._n why_o my_o meaning_n be_v that_o when_o i_o be_o overcome_v by_o drink_v too_o much_o and_o do_v thereupon_o fall_v to_o curse_v and_o swear_v quarrel_a and_o some_o other_o sin_n when_o i_o come_v to_o myself_o again_o and_o have_v consider_v what_o i_o have_v say_v and_o do_v i_o be_o much_o vex_v at_o myself_o and_o wish_v from_o my_o heart_n that_o i_o have_v never_o do_v so_o yea_o and_o i_o have_v many_o a_o time_n resolve_v never_o to_o do_v the_o like_a again_o and_o yet_o by_o occasion_n of_o go_v into_o the_o company_n of_o some_o man_n with_o who_o i_o have_v some_o deal_n who_o be_v too_o subject_a to_o that_o vice_n though_o otherwise_o very_o honest_a fair_a condition_a man_n and_o also_o by_o reason_n of_o my_o own_o natural_a inclination_n to_o those_o sin_n i_o be_o now_o and_o then_o overcome_v and_o so_o commit_v the_o like_a sin_n again_o min._n and_o what_o have_v be_v the_o reason_n of_o this_o your_o strive_v against_o your_o sin_n as_o you_o call_v it_o alex._n why_o true_o sir_n it_o have_v be_v because_o i_o have_v consider_v that_o in_o so_o do_v i_o have_v mis-spend_v my_o time_n and_o my_o money_n and_o have_v disgrace_v myself_o and_o endanger_v the_o salvation_n of_o my_o own_o soul_n if_o the_o lord_n be_v not_o the_o more_o merciful_a min._n sure_o it_o appear_v to_o i_o that_o all_o this_o strive_v have_v be_v only_o betwixt_o your_o judgement_n and_o affection_n or_o betwixt_o your_o conscience_n &_o your_o lust_n you_o do_v in_o your_o judgement_n conceive_v these_o course_n to_o be_v evil_a because_o of_o the_o evil_a effect_n that_o follow_v they_o and_o therefore_o your_o conscience_n tell_v you_o that_o you_o do_v evil_a in_o commit_v they_o and_o you_o think_v it_o be_v good_a for_o you_o to_o leave_v they_o because_o of_o the_o punishment_n that_o follow_v or_o be_v like_a to_o follow_v upon_o the_o commit_n of_o they_o but_o your_o affection_n and_o lust_n do_v like_a and_o approve_v of_o they_o and_o therefore_o do_v prevail_v with_o you_o to_o act_v and_o commit_v they_o and_o in_o the_o commit_n of_o they_o you_o take_v great_a delight_n so_o that_o i_o say_v this_o your_o strive_v against_o sin_n be_v nothing_o but_o conscience_n and_o lust_n by_o the_o ear_n together_o which_o strive_v herod_n balaam_n and_o pilate_n have_v within_o they_o and_o so_o may_v the_o vile_a reprobate_n in_o the_o world_n have_v but_o all_o this_o while_n there_o be_v no_o strife_n in_o you_o betwixt_o will_n and_o will_v nor_o betwixt_o affection_n and_o affection_n as_o there_o be_v in_o every_o true_a believer_n for_o he_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n within_o he_o be_v a_o regenerate_a man_n and_o in_o part_n renew_v and_o therefore_o the_o strife_n that_o be_v in_o he_o be_v betwixt_o the_o flesh_n and_o the_o spirit_n betwixt_o the_o regenerate_a part_n and_o the_o unregenerate_a part_n and_o it_o be_v against_o sin_n as_o it_o be_v sin_n and_o hate_a and_o loathe_v by_o he_o and_o therefore_o assure_v yourself_o that_o notwithstanding_o all_o your_o strive_n you_o be_v whole_o sinful_a sim._n but_o stay_v a_o little_a i_o pray_v sir_n this_o your_o speech_n seem_v to_o imply_v as_o though_o a_o true_a believer_n may_v commit_v the_o like_a gross_a sin_n that_o he_o do_v and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o other_o difference_n betwixt_o he_o and_o a_o true_a believer_n in_o the_o point_n of_o sin_v but_o only_o this_o different_a strive_v min._n but_o assure_v yourself_o neighbour_n simon_n that_o my_o meaning_n be_v not_o so_o for_o i_o do_v full_o agree_v with_o that_o worthy_a man_n of_o god_n who_o say_v that_o a_o true_a repentant_a and_o that_o be_v a_o true_a believer_n forsake_v all_o sin_n in_o affection_n and_o all_o gross_a sin_n in_o action_n and_o therefore_o i_o pray_v you_o neighbour_n alexander_n consider_v of_o it_o for_o this_o do_v more_o full_o prove_v that_o you_o be_v whole_o sinful_a as_o well_o as_o whole_o ignorant_a alex._n well_o sir_n though_o i_o be_v whole_o ignorant_a and_o whole_o sinful_a as_o you_o say_v yet_o will_v i_o fain_o know_v the_o reason_n why_o i_o may_v not_o have_v true_a faith_n in_o christ_n for_o all_o that_o min._n the_o reason_n why_o there_o can_v be_v no_o true_a faith_n in_o christ_n when_o a_o man_n be_v whole_o ignorant_a of_o he_o be_v because_o it_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o faith_n to_o believe_v that_o which_o it_o know_v so_o that_o wheresoever_o there_o be_v no_o true_a knowledge_n of_o christ_n there_o can_v be_v no_o true_a faith_n in_o christ_n and_o therefore_o 138._o reynolds_n on_o the_o
