A85952	The golden mean: being some serious considerations, together with some cases of conscience resolved; for a more full, and frequent administration of, yet not free admission unto, the sacrament of the Lord's Supper. / By Stephen Geree, minister of God's word, and pastor of the Church of Abinger in the county of Surrey.

most_o can_v imagine_v for_o he_o very_o well_o know_v that_o take_v away_o maintenance_n and_o you_o take_v away_o ministry_n no_o man_n say_v the_o apostle_n go_v to_o warfare_n any_o time_n at_o

even_o under_o the_o law_n for_o that_o administration_n which_o be_v far_o inferior_a to_o we_o under_o the_o gospel_n again_o the_o devil_n further_o know_v that_o take_v away_o minister_n and_o

above_o ordinance_n a_o most_o transcendent_a evil_n when_o once_o they_o have_v reject_v our_o ministry_n and_o our_o church_n for_o i_o conceive_v that_o if_o satan_n young_a chaplain_n can_v have_v preach_v and_o pray_v as_o well_o as_o other_o minister_n they_o will_v not_o for_o shame_n have_v leave_v off_o ordinance_n which_o they_o keep_v up_o for_o a_o time_n usurp_v the_o office_n of_o

that_o be_v baptize_v in_o their_o infancy_n neither_o shall_v that_o be_v administer_v to_o any_o till_o they_o shall_v renounce_v our_o church_n and_o ministry_n and_o give_v a_o reason_n of_o their_o faith_n by_o this_o mean_n conclude_v our_o poor_a infant_n to_o be_v in_o a_o far_o worse_a condition_n than_o the_o infant_n of_o the_o israelite_n who_o be_v receive_v into_o the_o church_n by_o circumcision_n and_o we_o must_v be_v leave_v without_o for_o lack_v of_o baptism_n and_o yet_o he_o stop_v not_o here_o neither_o but_o go_v yet_o high_a with_o some_o that_o they_o shall_v decry_v all_o water-baptism_n that_o be_v but_o a_o carnal_a ordinance_n he_o will_v have_v they_o have_v none_o but_o spiritual-baptisme_n reject_v water-baptism_n as_o need_v less_o for_o they_o that_o have_v the_o holy_a ghost_n when_o as_o the_o apostle_n peter_n after_o he_o see_v that_o the_o gentile_n have_v receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v thereupon_o baptize_v they_o act_v 10.47_o can_v any_o man_n say_v he_o forbid_v water_n that_o these_o shall_v not_o be_v baptize_v which_o have_v receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o well_o as_o we_o do_v not_o they_o then_o absurd_o forbid_v water-baptism_n 5_o last_o when_o the_o parliament_n intend_v to_o reform_v something_o in_o the_o administration_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n and_o to_o keep_v back_o the_o gross_o ignorant_a and_o scandalous_a that_o either_o can_v not_o or_o will_v not_o improve_v that_o holy_a sacrament_n to_o their_o spiritual_a advantage_n he_o labour_v to_o go_v still_o beyond_o they_o he_o will_v have_v none_o admit_v but_o those_o that_o may_v be_v judge_v true_o gracious_a and_o herein_o he_o seem_v something_o modest_a and_o therefore_o he_o go_v a_o little_a further_o and_o will_v not_o admit_v of_o some_o unless_o they_o be_v first_o dip_v or_o rather_o duck'c_a over_o head_n and_o ear_n as_o if_o it_o have_v be_v possible_a for_o john_n bartist_n thus_o to_o have_v deal_v with_o jerusalem_n and_o all_o judea_n and_o all_o the_o region_n round_o about_o jordan_n who_o come_v to_o his_o baptism_n mat._n 3.5_o 6._o which_o have_v be_v more_o than_o a_o herculean_a labour_n cons_n 3_o in_o the_o next_o place_n i_o desire_v that_o it_o may_v be_v impartial_o consider_v whether_o or_o no_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v not_o in_o some_o sense_n over_o high_o esteem_v among_o many_o i_o mean_v especial_o in_o comparison_n of_o other_o ordinance_n whether_o there_o be_v not_o a_o sin_n on_o the_o right_a band_n as_o well_o as_o on_o the_o left_a that_o as_o some_o do_v undervalue_n it_o so_o other_o do_v overvalue_v it_o indeed_o i_o have_v be_v long_o mistake_v if_o some_o holy_a man_n have_v not_o in_o a_o kind_n idolise_v this_o holy_a sacrament_n i_o suppose_v that_o popish_a transubstantiation_n or_o at_o least_o their_o idolatrous_a adore_v of_o their_o sacrament_n of_o the_o altar_n and_o also_o the_o very_a altar_n whereon_o it_o be_v offer_v do_v arise_v from_o some_o such_o overween_a conceit_n that_o some_o of_o the_o ancient_n or_o other_o have_v of_o this_o sacrament_n and_o what_o a_o world_n of_o wrangle_v and_o sea_n of_o blood_n have_v be_v spend_v in_o our_o own_o and_o other_o nation_n by_o reason_n of_o these_o error_n that_o seem_v so_o plausible_a and_o to_o be_v do_v in_o honour_n to_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n in_o like_a manner_n the_o over_o high_a conceit_n of_o the_o other_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n beget_v great_a inconvenience_n among_o the_o ancient_n who_o judge_v that_o baptism_n do_v actual_o wash_v away_o all_o their_o sin_n and_o if_o they_o sin_v heinous_o after_o baptism_n they_o can_v not_o so_o easy_o obtain_v remission_n and_o because_o baptism_n be_v not_o to_o be_v iterate_v but_o only_o once_o to_o be_v administer_v therefore_o they_o stay_v from_o receive_v baptism_n a_o long_a time_n that_o they_o may_v have_v the_o brunt_n of_o sin_n over_o before_o it_o by_o which_o it_o will_v be_v the_o better_o take_v away_o than_o by_o any_o other_o mean_n now_o this_o too_o high_a conceit_n of_o baptism_n cause_v some_o dangerous_o to_o defer_v it_o so_o that_o some_o christian_n of_o good_a age_n die_v unbaptise_v and_o either_o never_o receive_v the_o lord_n supper_n or_o else_o receive_v it_o disorderly_o for_o as_o no_o uncircumcised_a person_n be_v to_o eat_v the_o passeover_n exod._n 12.48_o so_o by_o consequence_n none_o unbaptise_v shall_v receive_v the_o supper_n i_o have_v not_o write_v this_o as_o if_o i_o will_v that_o man_n shall_v have_v a_o mean_a esteem_n of_o this_o holy_a ordinance_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n for_o i_o hold_v it_o very_o precious_a and_o sovereign_a and_o to_o be_v use_v with_o much_o reverence_n devotion_n and_o thankfulness_n and_o therefore_o be_o very_a much_o grieve_v that_o it_o have_v be_v so_o much_o disuse_v in_o many_o congregation_n but_o i_o conceive_v that_o so_o high_o to_o prize_v it_o above_o other_o ordinance_n be_v very_o dangerous_a produce_v sad_a effect_n as_o we_o have_v see_v and_o i_o very_o be_v ieve_v that_o this_o prefer_n of_o it_o so_o much_o as_o if_o it_o be_v of_o all_o other_o such_o a_o nolimetangere_a and_o as_o if_o no_o other_o ordinance_n can_v so_o defile_v or_o be_v the_o file_a have_v be_v on_o main_a case_n of_o most_o of_o our_o late_a breach_n among_o brother_n in_o our_o church_n when_o as_o the_o word_n of_o god_n speak_v as_o much_o if_o not_o more_o against_o the_o profane_v of_o other_o ordinancessee_n prov._n 28.9_o he_o that_o turn_v away_o his_o ear_n from_o hear_v the_o law_n even_o his_o prayer_n shall_v be_v abomination_n and_o isa_n 1.11_o 12._o etc._n etc._n and_o what_o reason_n can_v any_o man_n give_v why_o a_o wicked_a man_n shall_v more_o defile_v another_o at_o this_o sacrament_n then_o at_o other_o part_n of_o god_n worship_n ob._n it_o be_v object_v that_o at_o this_o sacrament_n we_o propfesse_v ourselves_o on_o
