A33370	A paradisical dialogue betwixt faith and reason disputing the high mysterious secrets of eternity, the like never extant in our revelation. As touching God in eternity, how he became time in flesh, and how he dyed in the grave, and ascended to his glory again. Also what the angels are in form and nature, and how the angel became a devil, and that devil man; and that this world was prepared for the devil, so this the devils kingdom; and what the soul is, with the place of its glory and torment. With a brief narration what a commission is, and how many commissions there are; what the difference of their worships, and how that the law was given to the devil; with a brief discourse on the catechism, the Lords Prayer, and the creeds; as also, a divine prospect to the elect of the Lord. Written by Law. Claxton, the onely true bishop and faithful messenger of Christ Jesus, creator of heaven and earth.	Claxton, Laurence, 1615-1667.	1660 (1660)	Wing C4581; ESTC R215220	88,691	122

almost_o the_o whole_a world_n believe_v the_o soul_n be_v never_o generate_v but_o the_o breathe_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n which_o be_v immortal_a and_o can_v die_v faith_n from_o the_o

and_o must_v die_v in_o the_o body_n be_v generate_v to_o live_v together_o must_v die_v together_o in_o that_o they_o be_v both_o guilty_a of_o sin_n can_v ascend_v but_o rot_v in_o the_o grave_n

christ_n these_o many_o hundred_o year_n since_o u●ere_v not_o the_o scripture_n write_v for_o our_o learning_n and_o if_o the_o scripture_n do_v not_o belong_v to_o all_o then_o also_o the_o law_n

of_o this_o world_n 2._o that_o though_o all_o the_o commissioner_n be_v dead_a that_o have_v power_n to_o invest_v another_o yet_o thou_o have_v the_o same_o spirit_n though_o as_o thou_o say_v not_o

to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n hold_v forth_o in_o that_o commission_n for_o this_o i_o know_v be_v the_o condition_n of_o thy_o father_n the_o jew_n that_o do_v as_o real_o believe_v it_o blasphemy_n for_o christ_n or_o the_o apostle_n to_o p●t_v a_o end_n to_o the_o ceremonial_a part_n of_o the_o law_n as_o now_o thou_o do_v that_o our_o commission_n shall_v put_v a_o end_n to_o all_o

that_o as_o there_o be_v to_o be_v three_o commission_n before_o the_o end_n of_o this_o world_n so_o i_o know_v that_o every_o commission_n be_v a_o world_n in_o itself_o and_o to_o itself_o and_o when_o the_o commissioner_n die_v that_o commissionate_a world_n end_v with_o they_o otherwise_o thou_o may_v call_v god_n a_o liar_n to_o promise_v he_o will_v be_v with_o they_o to_o the_o end_n of_o this_o world_n and_o many_o hundred_o year_n ago_o they_o be_v all_o dead_a and_o yet_o this_o world_n remain_v so_o that_o as_o i_o know_v the_o command_n be_v to_o none_o but_o they_o and_o to_o hold_v no_o long_o than_o the_o life_n of_o they_o so_o i_o know_v that_o the_o begin_n of_o one_o commission_n here_o below_o be_v the_o end_n of_o another_o as_o thou_o be_v not_o ignorant_a what_o overturning_n here_o have_v be_v in_o your_o kingdom_n to_o the_o admiration_n of_o the_o inhabitant_n so_o be_v the_o commission_n of_o god_n the_o beginning_n of_o one_o be_v the_o end_n of_o another_o by_o which_o the_o infiniteness_n of_o the_o divine_a revelation_n in_o the_o person_n of_o god_n be_v the_o more_o admire_v to_o behold_v the_o seem_a contrariety_n of_o these_o three_o commission_n that_o one_o put_v a_o period_n to_o the_o other_o as_o a_o great_a light_n cloud_n the_o use_n of_o the_o other_o not_o but_o the_o moon_n be_v a_o true_a light_n in_o herself_o but_o live_v in_o the_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n we_o have_v no_o need_n of_o the_o light_n of_o the_o moon_n so_o the_o apostle_n light_v be_v more_o glorious_a than_o that_o of_o the_o law_n therefore_o no_o need_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a part_n of_o the_o law_n so_o our_o light_n be_v far_o more_o glorious_a than_o that_o of_o the_o apostle_n therefore_o no_o need_n of_o the_o formal_a worship_n of_o the_o gospel_n 2._o second_o see_v the_o beginning_n of_o one_o commission_n be_v the_o end_n of_o another_o how_o then_o can_v thou_o plead_v for_o a_o succession_n of_o the_o formal_a worship_n
