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.

Simon, Sir, when I parted with you the other day, I did not think to have come unto you so soon again: but indeed having better considered ⟨p. 2⟩of it, I see I was somewhat deceived in our neighbour Zacheus, for the truth is, he answered you better then I had thought he could have done. But yet here is another neighbour of ours, in whom I am sure I am not deceived, for all that have any acquaintance with him, and have any knowledge in Religion, do conclude that he is a very simple ignorant man, and a bad liver; and yet he saith, That he hopes the Lord would be merciful unto him and forgive him his sins, if he should come to the Sacrament. And he telling me that he ⟨p. 3⟩was going to your house to speak with you about it, I was willing to come along with him, to see if you would judge him also fit to partake of that holy Ordinance, and our neighbour Matthias hath thought good to come along with us to hear our discourse.

But yet here is another neighbor of ours, in whom I am sure I am not deceived, for all that have any acquaintance with him, and have any knowledge in Religion, do conclude that hee is a very simple ignorant man, and a bad liver; and yet he saith, That he hopes the Lord would be mercifull unto him and forgive him his sinnes, if hee should come to the Sacrament. And he telling me that he ⟨p. 3⟩was going to your house to speake with you about it, I was willing to come along with him, to see if you would judge him also fit to partake of that holy Ordinance, and our neighbour Matthias hath thought good to come along with us to heare our discourse.
