A78612	A pretended voice from heaven, proved to bee the voice of man, and not of God. Or, An answer to a treatise, called A voice from heaven, written by Mr. Gualter Postlethwait, an unordained preacher, taking upon him to exercise the pastoral charge, in a congregation at Lewis in Sussex. Wherein, his weakness, in undertaking to prove all protestant churches to bee antichristian, and to bee separated from, as no true churches of Christ, is discovered; and the sinfulness of such a separation evinced. Together with, a brief answer inserted, to the arguments for popular ordination, brought by the answerers of Jus Divinum Ministerii Evangelici, in their book called The preacher sent. By Ezekiel Charke, M.A. and rector of Waldron in Sussex. Imprimatur, Edmond Calamy.	Charke, Ezekiel.	1658 (1658)	Wing C2069; Thomason E959_5; ESTC R207673	108,343	141

i_o be_v pretty_a well_o satisfy_v with_o the_o ordinance_n for_o their_o sit_v save_v that_o it_o be_v ground_v in_o part_n on_o the_o defence_n of_o patron_n right_n and_o property_n but_o since_o

the_o ordinance_n for_o their_o si●ting_n be_v ground_v on_o the_o defence_n of_o patron_n right_n and_o property_n now_o patron_n be_v in_o mr._n p_n apprehension_n so_o great_a a_o abomination_n
