London's gate to the Lords Table. Where the eldership doth sit doing their office aright, in discovering and shutting out the ignorant, profane, and mere civill honest man : in suspending the suspected formal, legal, and antinomisticall professor, and in drawing in the weakest humble believing soul. In a dialogue between a minister of the Gospel. Alexander an ignorant profane man. Simon a proud professor. And Matthias an humble penitent. Imprimatur Edmund Calamy.Londons gate to the Lords Table.
