Containing a vindication from such charges and aspersions so laid upon them. As also a briefe answer to his large (if not unreasonable) demands, to have scripturall, or rationall answ. given to his 112 queries. / By Sam: Eaton teacher Tim: Taylor pastor [brace] of [brace] the church at Duckenfield in Cheshire.

separate_v one_o part_n of_o this_o true_a church_n and_o and_o another_o part_n of_o that_o especial_o person_n who_o themselves_o convert_v not_o to_o make_v a_o pure_a church_n you_o answer_v of_o another_o thing_n which_o be_v never_o deny_v viz._n the_o apostle_n both_o teach_v and_o practise_v the_o separate_n of_o some_o jew_n from_o other_o jew_n and_o gather_v they_o into_o a_o christian_a church_n while_o yet_o the_o jewish_a church_n be_v not_o dissolve_v but_o be_v a_o church_n of_o god_n answ_n we_o be_v so_o far_o from_o answer_v oblique_o or_o evade_o in_o this_o place_n that_o we_o dare_v be_v bold_a to_o say_v that_o no_o reply_n can_v more_o front_v and_o diametrical_o oppose_v such_o a_o confuse_a answer_n as_o you_o i●_n than_o this_o of_o we_o do_v we_o do_v observe_v that_o the_o suppose_a strength_n of_o your_o answer_n be_v couch_v in_o the_o four_o sinew_n of_o it_o 1._o we_o think_v you_o desert_v it_o as_o a_o thing_n dissonant_n to_o the_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n of_o the_o apostle_n to_o gather_v some_o christian_n from_o other_o to_o make_v a_o pure_a church_n 2._o we_o conceive_v that_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o church_n from_o which_o person_n be_v gather_v be_v that_o which_o you_o imagine_v make_v the_o gather_n of_o they_o in_o such_o sort_n to_o bear_v no_o conformity_n with_o the_o apostle_n doctrine_n or_o practice_n and_o we_o conceive_v there_o be_v this_o implication_n in_o it_o that_o it_o may_v be_v lawful_a and_o suitable_a to_o the_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n of_o the_o apostle_n to_o gather_v believer_n out_o of_o a_o false_a church_n but_o not_o out_o of_o a_o true_a 3._o we_o consider_v that_o this_o may_v have_v some_o strength_n in_o your_o thought_n that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n mention_v in_o the_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n of_o the_o apostle_n as_o the_o gather_n of_o one_o church_n out_o of_o many_o 4._o that_o you_o imagine_v that_o there_o be_v some_o strength_n in_o it_o to_o prove_v our_o gather_n of_o church_n unlawful_a because_o the_o person_n gather_v be_v such_o as_o we_o convert_v not_o have_v thus_o anatomize_v in_o our_o thought_n your_o answer_n we_o address_v ourselves_o to_o discover_v the_o weakness_n and_o falliblenesse_n of_o all_o these_o exception_n and_o we_o begin_v with_o the_o second_o because_o it_o be_v most_o general_a and_o so_o descend_v to_o the_o rest_n which_o be_v more_o particular_a and_o first_o we_o show_v that_o the_o truth_n of_o a_o church_n be_v not_o that_o that_o can_v make_v it_o sinful_a or_o unlawful_a to_o gather_v or_o take_v in_o the_o member_n of_o it_o into_o the_o union_n of_o other_o church_n for_o than_o it_o shall_v have_v be_v unlawful_a for_o the_o primitive_a church_n to_o have_v gather_v in_o the_o believe_a jew_n into_o their_o church_n while_o that_o church_n remain_v true_a but_o this_o say_v we_o be_v the_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n of_o the_o apostle_n now_o what_o can_v be_v more_o point_n blank_a opposite_a to_o this_o part_n of_o your_o answer_n then_o this_o hence_o also_o our_o conclusion_n have_v the_o strength_n of_o this_o argument_n in_o it_o if_o it_o be_v not_o unlawful_a to_o withdraw_v from_o one_o church_n that_o be_v true_a than_o it_o be_v not_o unlawful_a to_o gather_v out_o of_o twenty_o or_o a_o hundred_o i_o e._n because_o they_o be_v true_a object_n but_o say_v you_o this_o be_v not_o a_o christian_a church_n answ_n we_o consider_v it_o not_o as_o jewish_n but_o under_o the_o notion_n of_o truth_n as_o it_o be_v a_o true_a church_n

object_n it_o be_v but_o one_o say_v you_o and_o you_o shall_v show_v gather_v out_o of_o several_a church_n answ_n do_v we_o not_o show_v it_o thus_o if_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o gather_v out_o of_o one_o true_a church_n than_o it_o be_v lawful_a upon_o the_o same_o ground_n to_o gather_v out_o of_o many_o object_n but_o say_v you_o the_o apostle_n gather_v be_v only_o of_o those_o jew_n they_o convert_v to_o christianity_n from_o unconverted_a jew_n and_o you_o shall_v show_v the_o gather_n of_o christian_n convert_v by_o other_o from_o other_o christian_n answ_n this_o also_o we_o have_v show_v at_o large_a clear_v also_o the_o former_a objection_n together_o with_o it_o by_o several_a argument_n and_o two_o place_n of_o scripture_n viz._n 1_o cor._n 5_o 6._o 2_o cor._n 13_o 10._o
