A56305	The church of Christ in Bristol recovering her vail out of the hands of them that have smitten and wounded her, and taken it away. Being, a just and necessary vindication, from a false and scandalous imputation cast upon her by Dennis Hollister, formerly a member of her, but now an apostate from, and an opposer of those waies, truths, and people, which once he seemed zealous for. As appears by a late pamphlet put forth by him, called, The skirts of the whore discovered. With some particular words, from some particular persons whom he hath by name abused and reproached. Likewise a word by Thomas Ewen, unto what concerns him in the said pamphlet, and also to the later part of another book, called, Satan enthroned in his chair of pestilence.	Purnell, Robert, d. 1666. aut	1657 (1657)	Wing P4232; ESTC R213966	65,602	90

godly_a man_n i_o do_v sometime_o hear_v expression_n to_o this_o effect_n that_o there_o be_v a_o twofold_a come_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n into_o the_o heart_n of_o believer_n the_o first_o be_v that_o by_o which_o the_o eye_n of_o man_n understanding_n be_v open_v and_o they_o turn_v from_o darkness_n to_o light_n faith_n and_o repentance_n wrought_v in_o the_o soul_n conversion_n regeneration_n or_o the_o new_a birth_n effect_v and_o so_o he_o that_o be_v once_o a_o dead_a sinner_n become_v a_o live_a saint_n or_o believer_n though_o as_o yet_o but_o weak_a a_o babe_n in_o christ_n etc._n etc._n the_o second_o work_n or_o come_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v that_o by_o which_o the_o soul_n be_v seal_v confirm_v establish_a fill_v with_o joy_n and_o peace_n in_o believe_v and_o fit_v and_o furnish_v to_o every_o good_a work_n that_o god_n call_v they_o whether_o do_v or_o suffer_v etc._n etc._n now_o this_o put_v i_o upon_o the_o search_n of_o the_o scripture_n as_o first_o ephes_n 1._o 13._o after_o you_o believe_v you_o be_v seal_v which_o scripture_n relate_v to_o that_o act_n 19_o 2._o have_v you_o receive_v the_o holy_a spirit_n since_o you_o believe_v

church_n at_o jerusalem_n or_o rather_o the_o apostle_n send_v forth_o peter_n and_o john_n that_o they_o shall_v pray_v that_o they_o may_v receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o as_o yet_o he_o be_v not_o fall_v upon_o any_o of_o they_o etc._n etc._n another_o scripture_n i_o find_v joh._n 7._o 37_o 38_o 39_o in_o the_o last_o day_n the_o great_a day_n of_o the_o feast_n jesus_n stand_v and_o

live_a water_n but_o this_o speak_v he_o of_o the_o spirit_n which_o they_o that_o believe_v on_o he_o shall_v receive_v for_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o yet_o give_v because_o that_o jesus_n be_v not_o yet_o glorify_v so_o luke_n 11._o 9_o to_o 13._o such_o as_o god_n be_v a_o father_n unto_o be_v bid_v to_o pray_v to_o ask_v to_o seek_v and_o to_o knock_v etc._n etc._n with_o assurance_n by_o many_o argument_n that_o they_o shall_v receive_v the_o holy_a spirit_n so_o in_o the_o 14_o 15_o 16_o chapter_n of_o john_n our_o saviour_n speak_v to_o such_o as_o do_v believe_v in_o he_o love_v he_o and_o keep_v his_o commandment_n etc._n etc._n he_o promise_v to_o send_v the_o comforter_n unto_o they_o even_o the_o holy_a spirit_n which_o the_o world_n can_v not_o receive_v &c_n &c_n and_o to_o this_o agree_v many_o of_o the_o prophecy_n both_o in_o isa_n jer._n ezek._n joel_n zach._n and_o other_o now_o then_o as_o to_o the_o first_o work_n or_o come_n of_o the_o spirit_n namely_o to_o make_v a_o man_n to_o become_v a_o saint_n a_o christian_a a_o believer_n a_o new_a creature_n etc._n etc._n i_o never_o deny_v but_o always_o affirm_v that_o whosoever_o do_v believe_v in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n or_o have_v the_o least_o beginning_n of_o a_o work_n of_o grace_n in_o their_o soul_n it_o be_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o they_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o first_o sense_n according_a to_o rom._n 8._o 9_o now_o if_o any_o man_n have_v not_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n he_o be_v none_o of_o he_o etc._n etc._n but_o in_o the_o second_o or_o latter_a sense_n namely_o to_o seal_v establish_v fill_v with_o joy_n and_o comfort_n etc._n etc._n with_o many_o other_o glorious_a effect_n which_o the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o and_o which_o the_o saint_n in_o the_o primative_a time_n do_v enjoy_v in_o this_o sense_n i_o have_v often_o say_v that_o i_o do_v question_n whether_o i_o then_o have_v or_o whether_o many_o other_o in_o the_o church_n have_v receive_v the_o spirit_n and_o to_o this_o you_o do_v then_o assent_n etc._n etc._n and_o therefore_o i_o do_v often_o press_v it_o in_o the_o church_n that_o we_o may_v pray_v more_o for_o that_o bless_a spirit_n according_a to_o the_o command_n and_o promise_v of_o christ_n luke_n 11._o 9_o 13._o as_o before_o and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o i_o have_v often_o call_v the_o great_a legacy_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o as_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o great_a promise_n of_o the_o first_o or_o old_a testament_n so_o this_o bless_a spirit_n be_v the_o great_a promise_n of_o the_o second_o or_o new_a testament_n which_o all_o believer_n be_v to_o wait_v pray_v and_o long_o for_o as_o the_o believer_n under_o the_o first_o testament_n be_v to_o wait_v and_o long_o for_o the_o messiah_n and_o this_o be_v my_o meaning_n when_o i_o have_v sometime_o say_v that_o a_o man_n may_v be_v a_o christian_n a_o believer_n a_o convert_a soul_n or_o a_o babe_n in_o christ_n and_o not_o as_o yet_o have_v receive_v the_o spirit_n i_o mean_v still_o in_o this_o latter_a sense_n in_o respect_n of_o seal_v establish_v etc._n etc._n yet_o i_o neither_o do_v nor_o do_v expect_v the_o gift_n of_o tongue_n or_o work_a miracle_n etc._n etc._n neither_o do_v i_o find_v that_o the_o great_a promise_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v principal_o to_o that_o end_n though_o that_o be_v accomplish_v by_o it_o when_o and_o how_o the_o lord_n please_v as_o heb._n 2._o 4._o with_o divers_a miracle_n and_o gift_n or_o distribution_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n according_a to_o his_o own_o will_n but_o i_o find_v rather_o that_o the_o great_a promise_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v for_o such_o glorious_a end_n as_o these_o etc._n etc._n 1._o to_o open_v and_o reveal_v the_o hide_a mystery_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n as_o matth._n 13._o 11._o to_o you_o it_o be_v give_v to_o know_v the_o mystery_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n etc._n etc._n so_o 1_o cor._n 2._o 9_o to_o the_o 14._o we_o read_v that_o those_o thing_n which_o the_o eye_n of_o man_n as_o man_n have_v not_o see_v neither_o can_v the_o natural_a man_n perceive_v yet_o god_n do_v reveal_v by_o his_o

4_o 8._o then_o peter_n fill_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n say_v etc._n etc._n so_o to_o the_o 19_o vers_fw-la so_o act_v 5._o 41._o and_o they_o rejoice_v that_o they_o be_v count_v worthy_a to_o
