A35959	Truths victory over error, or, An abridgement of the chief controversies in religion which since the apostles days to this time, have been, and are in agitation, between those of the Orthodox faith, and all adversaries whatsoever, a list of whose names are set down after the epistle to the reader : wherein, by going through all the chapters of The confession of faith, one by one, and propounding out of them, by way of question, all the controverted assertions, and answering by yes, or no, there is a clear confirmation of the truth, and an evident confutation of what tenets and opinions, are maintain'd by the adversaries : a treatise, most useful for all persons, who desire to be instructed in the true Protestant religion, who would shun in these last days, and perillous times, the infection of errors and heresies, and all dangerous tenets and opinions, contrary to the word of God.

is said if we say we have no sin we deceive our selves and the truth is not in us 6 Because if we were justified by inherent righteousness we would have matter to boast of which is contrary to Pauls doctrine Eph. 2 9 Not of works least any man should boast 7 Because the righteousness of a Christian man is the justifying of the ungodly Rom 4 5. Quest II DOTH GOD justify men by imputing Faith it self the Act of believing or any other Evangelical obedience to them as their righteousness No. Rom. 4. 5 6 7 8. 2 Cor 5 19 21 Rom 3 22 24 25 27 28 Tit 3 5 7 Eph. 1. 7. Ier 23 6. 1 Cor 1. 30 31 Rom 5 17 18 19. Well then do not the Arminians err who maintain that Faith it self and the Act of Believing is imputed to us for righteousness Yes By what reasons are they confuted 1 Because Faith is that by which we receive righteousness Acts 26 18. Therefore if it be that by which we receive righteousness it cannot be righteousness it self because that which is received is far different and another thing from that whereby we receive it 2 Because we are not justified by inherent righteousness as is proven evidently against the Papists in the last foregoing Question all which reasons do clearly evince that we are not justified by the imputation of Faith it self or by the act of believing as our righteousness Quest. III. IS Faith which is the alone instrument of justification alone in the person justified No. Is it ever accompanied with all other saving graces and is no dead Faith but worketh by Love Yes Iames 2 17 22 26. Gal. 5. 6. Well then do not the Papists err who maintain That justifying Faith may be truely and really separated from Love saving Hope and all the rest of the Christian vertues Yes By what reasons are they confuted 1 Because as the Body without the Spirit is dead so Faith without works is dead also Iames 2. 26. 2 Because Faith worketh by Love Gal. 5. 6. that is by shewing forth the works of Love in us towards GOD and our neighbour 3 Because Faith purifies the heart Acts 15. 9. 4 Because he that hath Faith is in Christ but he that is in Christ bringeth forth much fruit Iohn 15. 5. 5 Because those who have Faith are buried with Christ and walk in newness of life Rom. 6. 4. that is in holiness and purity which accompany Faith 6 Because he that saith I know GOD and keepeth not his Commandments is a liar and the truth is not in him 1 Iohn 2. 4. Quest. IV. DId Christ by his Obedience and Death fully discharge the debt of all these who are thus justified and did he make a proper real and full satisfaction to the Fathers justice in their behalf Yes Rom. 5. 8 9 10. 1 Tim. 2. 5. 6. Dan 9 24 26 Heb 10 10 14 Isa 53 4 5 6 10. 11 12. Well then do not the Papists err who maintain That Christ hath not made a full satisfaction to Divine Iustice for the sins of those who are justified and that Humane satisfactions do in part satisfy the Iustice of GOD for sin Yes Do not likewise the Socinians err who deny all true and proper satisfaction to Christs sufferings Yes By what reasons are they confuted 1 Because the Prophet sayes he hath born our griefs and carried our sorrows was wounded for our transgressions was bruised for our iniquities Isaiah 53 4 5. 2 Because by one Offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified Heb. 10. 14 3 Because Humane satisfactions being finite can never satisfy in part or in whole the infinite Justice of GOD for the punishment of sin Iob 35. 6. 4 Because he hath blotted out the hand writting of Ordinances which was against us which was contrary to us and took it out of the way nailing it to his cross Col. 2. 14. 5 Because there is nothing more frequent in Scripture than that Christ was a propitiation for our sins Rom 3. 25. 6 Because Christ sayes I lay down my life for my sheep and no man taketh it from me but I lay it down of my self Iohn 10. 15 18. 7 Because the Son of man came to give his life a ransom for many Matth. 20. 28. see the first of Tim. 2. 6. Ephes. 5. 2. Gal 3. 13. Rev. 5. 9. 1 Iohn 2. 2. Quest. V. ARE the Elect justified until the Holy Spirit in due time actually apply Christ to them No. Col. 1. 21 22. Titus 3. 4 5 6 7. Well then do not the Antinomians err who maintain That the Elect are justified from eternity or when the price of Redemption was payed Yes By what reasons are they confuted 1 Because all that are justified have been strangers and enemies to GOD and children of Wrath Ephes. 2. 3. Col. 1. 21. Titus 3. 3. 1 Cor. 6. 10 11. 2 Because none are justified until they believe in Christ Gal. 2. 16. knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but by the Faith of Jesus Christ even we have believed in Jesus Christ that we might be justified by the faith of Christ. Quest. VI. CAN those who are justified by reason of their sins fall under Gods Fatherly displeasure and not have the light of his countenance restored unto them until they humble themselves confess their sins beg pardon and renew their faith and repentance Yes Psalm 89. 31 32 33. Psalm 32. 5. Psalm 51. 7 8 9 10 11 12. Matth. 26. 75. 1 Cor. 11 30 32. Well then do not the Antinomians err who maintain that GODS love and favour towards those that are once-justified cannot consist with his anger and chastisement towards them Yes By what reasons are they confuted 1 Because Christ says as many as I love I rebuke and chasten Rev. 3. 19. 2 Because David was chastened for his Adultery and Murder 2 Sam. 12 10. 3 Because the Lord says if my children forsake my Law and walk not in my judgements then will I visit their transgressions with the rod and their iniquity with stripes Psalm 89. 30 31. 4 Because God was provoked with the sins of the Corinthians for which he punished them 1 Cor. 10. 22. And 1 Cor. 11. 30. Quest VII IS the Iustification of Believers under the Old Testament one and the same in all respects with the justification of Believers under the New Testament Yes Gal. 3. 9 13 14. Rom. 4. 22 23 24. Heb. 13. 8. Well then do not the Socinians err who maintain that the manner of justification is not one and the same under both the Testaments Yes By what reasons are they confuted 1 Because Abraham was justified by Faith in Christ Gen. 15. 6. And he believed in the Lord and it was counted to him for righteousness That is God of his meer Grace held him righteous and justified that had no righteousness in himself whereby to subsist and stand before his justice seat and

Faith to be the gift GOD yet they deny Faith to be given according to the precise will of GOD for the saving of some men Yes By what reasons are they confuted 1 I confute the Pelagians for Christ sayes no man can come to me that is believe unless the Father that hath sent me draw him Iohn 6. 44. 2 Because the Apostle sayes for unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ not onely to believe in him but also to suffer for his sake Phil. 1. 29. 3 Because that which is natural is proper to all but all men have not Faith 2 Thes. 3. 2. 4 Because Faith is reckoned up among the fruits of the Spirit Gal. 5. 22. 5 Because the very desire it self of believing is from GOD and not from our selves Phil. 2. 13. 6 Because Christ is the Author and Finisher of our Faith Heb. 12. 2. By what reasons do you confute the Arminians 1 Because Faith is given to the Elect onely and to such as are ordained to life eternal Titus 1. 1. Acts 13. 48. 2 Because he that believes shall be saved Mark 16. 16. Iohn 3. 15 16 18 36. 3 Because GOD wills precisely the glorifying of all those whom he justifies Rom. 8. 30. But they who have Faith are justified Rom. 5. 1. 4 Because GOD wills precisely the gloryfying of all those whom he inwardly and efficaciously calleth Rom. 8. 30. But all that believe in him are powerfully called 2 Thes. 2. 13 14. 5 Because all the Children of GOD are heirs of GOD and joynt-heirs with Christ Rom. 8. 17. But how many soever believes in his Name to them he gave power to become the Sons GOD Iohn 1. 12. Quest. II. IS Faith the Fruit of Christs purchase Yes Titus 3. 5 6. Titus 2. 14. Ezek. 36. 25 26. Well then do not the Arminians err who deny Faith and other saving Graces to be Christs purchase or the fruits of his death Yes Do not likewise others of the same kind err who granting the gift of believing not to flow from mans free-will or from any sufficient grace bestowed upon all maintain That it flows from GODS Soveraign good-will thinking fit to bestow that gift upon some whom he hath elected and not upon others without respect to the merits of Christs death Yes By what reasons are they confuted 1 Because if this be all that Christ hath purchased by his death that GOD might save fallen man upon condition he believe then Christ might attain his end in dying and yet not one soul be saved by his death 2 Because it makes Christ a Titular Saviour onely purchasing salvation to all without any full and certain intention of applying it to any 3 Because it is promised to Christ the Mediator as a satisfaction to him for his sufferings that not only many through Faith in him shall be justified but that certainly he shall see his seed and the fruit of his Soul Isaiah 53. 10. 4 Because the washing of Regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost under which all particular graces may be comprehended are said to be shed on us aboundantly through Jesus Christ Titus 3. 5 6. 5 Because the Lord hath promised to remove from us the heart of stone and to give us a new heart to cleanse us from all our idols and wash us with clean water But these promises are in one bundle with the promises of his pardoning our iniquity and remembring our sins no more Ezek. 36. 25 26. Ierem. 31. 33 34. 6 Because Christ is made unto us Wisdom Sanctification and Redemption no less than righteousness under which Faith and all saving graces needful to the working out of our Salvation are comprehended 1 Cor. 1. 30 31. 7 Because we are said to be blessed with all spiritual blessings in Christ Iesus Ephes. 1. 3. which by his merit are communicated to us And is not Faith and saving Grace to be accounted among the Spiritual blessings 8 Because it is not a meer possibility of Redemption but actual Redemption that the Saints in Heaven praise and extol Christ for Rev. 5. 9 12. An Arminian cannot well sing a part of this song while he thinks in his heart he is no more beholden to the Lamb for his Redemption than Cain and Judas Quest. III. DOth a Christian by Faith believe whatsoever is revealed in the Word for the Authority of GOD speaking therein Yes Iohn 4. 42. 1 Iohn 5. 10. Acts 24. 14. 1 Thes. 2. 13. Well then do not the Papists err who commend and extol Implicit Faith and who define Faith rather by Ignorance than by Knowledge Yes By what reasons are they confuted 1 Because Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God and therefore there can be no Faith without knowledge Rom. 10. 17. 2 Because all believers are taught of God Isaiah 54. 13. Iohn 6. 45. 3 Because Christ sayes this is life eternal to know thee the onely true God and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent Iohn 17. 3. 4 Because the Prophet Isaiah sayes by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many chap. 53. 11. Quest. IV. ARE the principal Acts of saving Faith Accepting Receiving and Resting upon Christ alone for Iustification Sanctification and Eternal Life by vertue of the Covenant of Grace Yes Iohn 1. 12. Acts 16. 31. Gal. 2. 20. Acts 15. 11. Well then do not the Papists err who maintain Faith to be nothing but a naked assent to the truth revealed in the Word it being placed by them in the understanding onely Yes Do not likewise the Sccinians err who put no difference between Faith and the Obedience of Works Yes By what reasons are they confuted 1 Because to believe is to receive Christ which is an Act of the Will Iohn 1. 12. 2 Because Faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen Or Faith is a firm ground or a firm confidence that is which causeth to subsist or stand firm the things which are promised by God in Christ and which therefore are expected by hope which is not done only by an assent to Gods promises in our understanding but also by a trusting to the same in our will I say faith is a firm ground of the things which are hoped and an argument of things not seen Or a conviction in Greeke Elegchos for Faith respecting GODS Revelation and Promise convinceth and assureth the heart of man more strongly of the truth of a thing than any other argument brought from natural Reason can do Heb. 11. 1. 3 Because we are justified before GOD by Faith Rom. 5. 1. but we are not justified by a bare and naked assent to the truth otherwise the Devils should be justified Iam. 2. 19. Neither are we justified by the Socinians Faith which is every where condemned in Scripture Rom. 3. 20 28. Gal. 2. 16. Eph. 2. 8 9. Phil. 3. 9. Titus 3. 4 5. CHAP. XV. Of REPENTANCE Question I. IS Repentance unto life an Evangelical

Grace the Doctrine whereof is to be preached by every Minister of the Gospel as well as that of Faith in Christ Yes Ezek. 12. 10. Acts 11. 18. Luke 24. 47. Make 1. 15. Acts 20. 21. Well then do not the Antinomians err who maintain That repentance is not an Evangelical grace and that it ought not to be preached by any Minister of the Gospel seing it leads us away from Christ and is many wayes hurtful and dangerous to us Yes By what reasons are they confuted 1 Because GOD hath promised in the Covenant of Grace that he will pour upon the house of David and upon the inhabitants of Ierusalem the spirit of Grace and Supplication which shall cause Christians under the Gospel to repent and mourn for their sins Zech. 12. 10. 2 Because Repentance is numbered among the saving graces which shall be bestowed and conferred upon Converts under the Gospel and is sometimes put for the whole Conversion of a man to GOD Acts 11. 15 16 17 18. 3 Because the Ministers of the Gospel ought to instruct those with meekness who oppose themselves if GOD peradventure will give them Repentance to the acknowledging of the Truth 2 Tim. 2. 25. 4 Because Repentance from dead works is among the principles of the Doctrine of Christ and is a foundation which ought to be layed before the Hearers of the Gospel can go on into perfection I say layed by the Ministers of the Gospel Heb. 6. 1. 5 Because Christ himself appointed Repentance no less to be preached through the world than Remission of sins Luke 24. 47. 6 Because Christ and his Apostles preached Repentance no less than Faith Mar. 1. 15. Mat. 3. 2. Nay the whole sum of the Gospel is placed in preaching Faith and Repentance Acts 20. 20 21. Quest II. DOth a sinner namely by Repentance out of the sight and sense not only of the danger but also of the filthiness and odiousness of his sins as contrary to the holy Nature and righteous law of God and upon the apprehension of his mercy in Christ to such as are penitent so grieve for and hate his sins as to turn from them all unto God Yes Ezek. 18. 30 Ezek. 36 31. Isai. 30. 22. Ier. 31. 18 19. Ioel 2. 12 13. Amos 5. 15. Psalm 119. 6. 59. 106. Well then do not the Antinomians err who maintain we ought not by Repentance to hate our sins to mourn for them and turn from them to God but only to believe that Christ in our stead and for us hath Repented Yes By what reasons are they confuted 1 Because Repentance being a turning from our sins and evil ways and a turning to God and Christ being without sin could not be capable to repent in our stead 1 King 8. 35. Heb. 7. 26 27. Ioel 2. 12 13. 2 Because they that repent confess their sins and are grieved for them Ezra 10. 1. Mark 14. 72. They hate their sins 2 Cor. 7. 11. They are ashamed and confounded for them Ier. 31. 19. 3 Because Repentance is a sorrow after a Godly manner in the same very Persons that Repent wrought by God by the preaching of the Word 2 Cor. 7. 9. Acts 11. 18. 4 Because Repentance is called a renting of the heart Ioel 2. 12. And they that Repent hate and loath themselves for their abominations Ezek. 36 31. They are ashamed and confounded Ier. 31. 19. They are grieved and pricked in their Reins Psal. 73. 21 5 Because God promising Repentance to the people of the Jews being converted to Christ after their backsliding says I will pour out upon the house of David and upon the inhabitants of Ierusalem the Spirit of Grace and Supplication and they shall look upon me whom they have peirced and they shall mourn for him as one mourneth for his only Son Zech. 12. 10 And shall be in bitterness for him as one that is in bitterness for his first born But is any man so foolish as to affirm that when a man doth mourn for his first born he believes only that another man hath mourned in his stead 6 Because Faith is one thing and Repentance specially so called is another thing Mark 1. 15. Acts 20. 21. Heb. 11. 6. In which places Faith and Repentance are numbred two diverse things And it is evident likewise that Faith is the cause of Repentance but nothing can be the cause of it self Do not likewise the Papists err who maintain that we are not by Repentance converted from our sins to God which they only make an endument or quality fitting and disposing us for conversion and meriting it which say they consists in heart contrition mouth confession absolution and satisfaction By the first They have heart sorrow for sin By the second They confess their sins to the Preist By the third Which can be no part of Repentance seeing it is not a thing done by the sinner they are absolved by the Priest from theirsins By the fourth they make satisfaction for former sins in performing some good work willingly undertaken or enjoyned by the Priest after absolution as Fastings Chastising of their own bodies Pilgrimages and hearing of many Masses Yes By what reasons are they confuted 1 Because the Word of God asserts no meritorious Work in us to go before our conversion Not by Works of righteousnss which we have done but according to his mercy he saved us Titus 3. 4 5 6. 2 Because the only merit of Christ is the meritorious cause of our Conversion Heb. 9. 14. 1 Cor. 6. 11. 3 Because true Repentance is the infallible Antecedent and forerunner of life 2 Cor. 7. 10. Acts 11. 18. And they who truely Repent have all their sins pardoned Acts 2. 38. Acts 3. 19. Nay Repentance is a peice of the exercise of the life of Grace here and worketh unto life and salvation hereafter But of no foregoing disposition or qualification previous to Repentance can these forecited places of Scripture be understood 4 Because Repentance and turning to God are sometimes put for the same thing and the Prophets while they study to excite and stir up the people to Repentance they signifie it by the word Conversion and turning to GOD Acts 11. 15 16 17 18 21. Ioel 2. 12 13 Esek 18. 31 32. 5 Because Whatsoever goes before our conversion to God it cannot be of Faith and therefore it must displease God Rom. 8 8 Rom. 14. 23. But true Repentance is of Faith and God delighteth in it Ier. 31. 18 19 20. 6 Because in very many places of Scripture Repentance is described by a departing from evil and a turning to God Isa. 1. 16 17. Isaiah 55. 7. Psalm 34. 14. Hos. 6. 1. 7 Because heart contrition mouth confession and satisfaction for former sins which they call Pennance as they are explained by the Papists may be found in Hypocritical Repentance as is evident from the example of Iudas and Abah Matth. 27. 4 5 6. 1 Kings 21. 27. There may be true

could they be purged he being made a curse for them that he might liberate those from the curse of the Law which they had deserved for such sins as well as for others Lev 4. 2 3 14 15 20 22 24 31. Lev. 5. 17 18. Gal 3. 13. Heb 10. 10 12 14. Heb 9. 14 22. 1 Iohn 1. 7 9. Ephes 5. 25 26 27. 1 Peter 1. 18 19. 6 Because every sin is against the supreamest Law-giver against his Holiness and Goodness against his Infinite Majesty and floweth from a Formal or Virtual contempt of GOD and therefore the least sin cannot but deserve GODS wrath and curse eternally Iam 2. 10 11. Lev 10. 3. Lev 11. 44 45. 1 Iob 3. 4. Ephes 5 6. CHAP. VII Of GODS Covenant with Man Question I. DId all these Sacrifices and other Types and Ordinances by which the Covenant of Grace was administerd before our Saviours Incarnation adumbrate and foresignifie Christ to come Yes Heb 8 9 10 chapters Rom 4 11 Col 2 11 12 1 Cor 5 7 Well then do not the Socinians err who maintain that the Legal Sacrifices did not fore-signifie the expiatory Sacrifice of Christ neither were Types nor Figures of it but that those Sacrifices which the Jews offered for sin did really and in very deed purge away all the sins for which they were offered Yes By what reasons are they confuted There are here two parts to be considered First the Negative That the Legal Sacrifices did not foresignifie The second the Affirmative that they did truely make a real expiation and atonement The first is evidently confuted from Scripture Testimonies for the Law having a shadow of good things to come and not the very Image of the things can never with those Sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the Comers thereunto perfect Heb 10 4. The Apostle calls here these Legal Sacrifices a Shadow and Heb 9 9 he calls them a Figure and verse 24 he calls them 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Exemplaria verorum the Figures of the True and Col 2 17 he calls them a shadow of things to come but the Body is of Christ which is nothing else but that the thing signified is of Christ that is to say fulfilled in Christ. For all the shadows of the Old Testament had a respect to Christ and his Benefits by whose coming they also have an end And Iohn 1. 17. it is said That the Law was given by Moses but Grace and Truth came by Iesus Christ. By Grace understand the Grace of Redemption from the curse of the Law Gal 3. 13. and of Adoption for Children Iohn 1. 12. Rom 8. 15. By Truth understand the fulfilling both of the Promises 2 Cor 1. 20. and of the Ceremonies and Types Col 2. 17. For this cause the Apostles have alwayes pressed the Abrogation of the Legal Rites and Ceremonies because the Truth being exhibited by the coming of the Anti-type the shadows of the Type ought deservedly to cease and be no more according to that of Daniel 9. 27. The second part is likewise evidently confuted namely that the Legal Sacrifices did truely and really purge away all the sins for which they were offered 1 Because the Apostle sayes the blood of Bulls and Goats cannot take away sin Heb 10 4. 2 Because those Sacrifices were not able to make him that did the service perfect Heb 9 9. 3 Because these Legal Sacrifices did leave the sins of such as offered unexpiated until they were purged away by the death and blood of Christ Heb 9. 15. 4 Because the sins of Believers under the Old Testament were forgiven and pardoned after the same manner that our sins under the New Testament are pardoned Acts 15. 11. Quest II WAS the administration of the Covenant under the Old Testament sufficient for the time and efficacious through the operation of the Spirit to instruct and build up the Elect in the Faith of the promised Messiah by whom they had full remission of sins and eternal Salvation Yes 1 Cor 10 1 2 3 4 Heb 11 13 Iohn 8 56. Well then do not the Socinians err who maintain That life Eternal under the Old Testament was never promised to the Believers of that time neither had they any promise to expect it from GOD Yes By what reasons are they confuted 1 Because there are promises extant in the Old Testament of life eternal Isaiah 45 17 where it is said Israel shall be saved with an everlasting Salvation see Dan 12 2 2 Because the Fathers under the old Testament believed and expected life Eternal as Iob 19 25 26 27 David Psal 17 15 Abraham Isaac and Iacob all of these waited for eternal life Heb 11 9 10 3 Because some at that time were put into actual possession of it as Enoch Hebrews 11 5. So was Elias taken up into Heaven and put into actual possession likewise 2 Kings 2 11. 4 Because the Scripture of the Old Testament pointeth forth the way to Eternal life as Christ witnesseth Iohn 5 39 and Paul 2 Tim 3 15 5 Because Believers under the Old Testament were most happy Psalm 144 15. 6 Because Temporal good things were to them pledges of Spiritual good things and life eternal Heb 11 8 9. Quest III ARE there two Covenants of Grace differing in substance or but one and the same under various dispensations One onely Gal 3 14 16 Acts 15 11 Rom 3 21 22 23 30 Rom 4 3 6 16 17 23 24 Heb 13 8. Well then do not the Socinians err who maintain a Substantial and not an Accidental difference between the old Covenant and the new Yes By what reasons are they confuted 1 Because in both the Covenants there is the same promise of Grace concerning remission of sins and life Eternal freely to be given to Believers for Christs sake Gen. 3. 15. where the seed of the Woman is promised to bruise the head of the Serpent and Gen. 17. 7. it is said I shall be thy GOD and the GOD of thy seed after thee and Gen. 22. 18. it is said in thy seed shall all the Nations of the Earth be blessed and Iohn 3. 36. it is said he that believeth hath Everlasting life And Acts 15. 11. it is said but we believe that through the Grace of our Lord Iesus Christ we shall be saved even as they 2 Because one and the same Faith and Obedience on both sides is required walk before me and be thou perfect Gen. 17. 1. and Mark 1. 15. Christ sayes after he came to Galilee preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom the time is fulfilled and the Kingdom of GOD is at hand repent ye and believe the Gospel CHAP. VIII Of CHRIT the Mediator Question I. DID the Son of GOD when the fulness of time was come take upon him Mans Nature with all the essential Properties and common Infirmities thereof yet without sin being conceived by the power of the holy Ghost in the Womb of the Virgin Mary of her
