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

sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n do_v not_o teach_v to_o the_o beget_n of_o faith_n for_o that_o be_v the_o proper_a office_n of_o the_o word_n alone_o rom._n 10._o 17._o so_o than_o say_v the_o

this_o point_n i_o will_v observe_v but_o two_o distinction_n first_o as_o it_o be_v refer_v to_o god_n the_o creator_n and_o second_o as_o it_o have_v respect_n to_o jesus_n christ_n the_o saviour_n

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

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

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
