A93655	The opening of Master Prynnes new book, called A vindication: or, light breaking out from a cloud of differences, or late controversies. Wherein are inferences upon the Vindication, and antiqueres to the queres; and by that, the way a little cleared to a further discovery of truth in a church-order, by a conference or discourse. / By John Saltmarsh, preacher at Brasteed in Kent. Published according to order.	Saltmarsh, John, d. 1647.	1645 (1645)	Wing S493; Thomason E305_22; ESTC R200328	25,183	50

who_o the_o apostle_n can_v no_o long_o suffer_v not_o by_o way_n of_o discipline_n or_o inflict_v censure_n but_o by_o way_n of_o a_o spiritual_a contrariness_n to_o such_o gross_a hypocrisy_n and_o

together_o in_o such_o a_o unity_n of_o spirit_n and_o under_o the_o law_n there_o be_v even_o a_o weak_a example_n in_o the_o people_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v take_v out_o from_o the_o people_n of_o

of_o spiritual_a ordinance_n and_o dispensation_n the_o gospel-ordinance_n bring_v into_o the_o world_n a_o power_n and_o spiritual_a law_n in_o they_o though_o in_o degree_n and_o measure_n and_o

the_o powerful_a work_n be_v bring_v more_o off_o from_o the_o world_n and_o begin_v to_o gather_v in_o close_a to_o christ_n and_o one_o another_o and_o now_o all_o power_n be_v give_v to_o christ_n

the_o spirit_n be_v give_v the_o more_o and_o more_o off_o from_o the_o world_n in_o all_o these_o several_a time_n and_o it_o be_v a_o rational_a truth_n and_o a_o clear_a conclusion_n even_o to_o

more_o christward_o any_o one_o be_v the_o more_o off_o still_o from_o the_o multitude_n of_o the_o world_n and_o thus_o the_o ordinance_n of_o jesus_n christ_n in_o which_o the_o spirit_n breathe_v so_o powerful_o work_v man_n off_o from_o the_o mix_a world_n into_o fellowship_n with_o the_o lord_n and_o that_o spiritual_a fellowship_n make_v they_o rejoice_v more_o in_o one_o another_o then_o

then_o congregational_a or_o church-order_n wherein_o believer_n be_v gather_v into_o fellowship_n with_o god_n in_o christ_n and_o one_o another_o from_o the_o world_n in_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o
