A88697	Lanseter's lance, for Edwards'es gangrene: or, A ripping up, and laying open some rotten, putrified, corrupt, stinking matter in Mr. Thomas Edwards his Gangren, or book intituled, The second part of Gangrena. Wherein, amongst others, he hath abused and belied Mr. John Lanceter, calling him pedler, and saying, that he opened the whole book of Ezra, at a privat meeting in stead of opening his pack, which is proved false, and other things also. So that in consideration of the particulars, judicious men may well conceive the cause of his Gangren to be his blind ignorance of the truth, and his mad malice against the wel-affected conscientious people. Published according to order.	Lanseter, John.	1646 (1646)	Wing L425B; Thomason E354_17; ESTC R201101	16,213	24

and_o fit_a material_n therefore_o now_o look_v into_o the_o parish_n church_n and_o see_v if_o it_o be_v so_o in_o the_o constytution_n of_o they_o i_o pray_v compare_v thing_n together_o and_o see_v if_o you_o can_v find_v the_o church_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o parish_n church_n agree_v either_o in_o their_o constitution_n or_o in_o their_o doctrine_n or_o in_o their_o discipline_n now_o if_o you_o find_v a_o suitablenesse_n between_o they_o in_o all_o this_o than_o well_o and_o good_a but_o if_o you_o find_v not_o the_o first_o nor_o the_o last_o than_o it_o be_v bad_a and_o sad_a and_o consider_v whether_o there_o be_v any_o hope_n of_o bring_v the_o parish_n church_n into_o a_o rightposture_n according_a to_o the_o rule_n or_o whether_o their_o be_v not_o clear_a resemblance_n of_o
