A70157 A just defence and vindication of Gospel ministers and Gospel ordinances against the Quakers many false accusations, slanders and reproaches. In ansvver to John Horwood his letter, and E.B. his book, called, A just and lawful tryal of the ministers and teachers of this age, and several others. Proving the ministers calling and maintenance just and lawful, and the doctrine of perfection by free justification, preached by them, agreeable to the scriptures. VVith the Quakers objections answered. And the Quakers perfection by hearkning to, and obeying a light within them, proved contrary to the scriptures. And their practices in ten particulars proved contrary to the commands and examples of Christ and his apostles. By a lover of gospel ministers and gospel ordinances.

thou_o live_v and_o be_v dead_a 16._o and_o unto_o the_o angel_n of_o the_o church_n of_o the_o laodicean_n i_o know_v thy_o work_n that_o thou_o be_v neither_o cold_a nor_o hot_a but_o lukewarm_a the_o worst_a of_o all_o temper_n in_o religion_n now_o mind_n that_o christ_n do_v commend_v what_o ever_o be_v good_a in_o any_o of_o these_o church_n and_o reprove_v they_o for_o their_o evil_n

like_o the_o crow_n or_o raven_n that_o love_n to_o feed_v upon_o carrion_n so_o your_o only_a delight_n be_v to_o revile_v against_o our_o minister_n and_o church_n and_o to_o publish_v any_o fault_n

hear_v more_o than_o enough_o of_o but_o sure_o you_o quaker_n have_v no_o love_n to_o any_o but_o yourselves_o for_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o love_n cover_v a_o multitude_n of_o fault_n 7._o and_o that_o charity_n or_o love_n suffer_v long_o rash_a and_o be_v kind_a envy_v not_o vaunt_v not_o itself_o be_v not_o puff_v up_o think_v not_o evil_a bear_v all_o thing_n believe_v all_o thing_n

now_o if_o there_o be_v such_o corruption_n in_o the_o church_n in_o the_o first_o and_o pure_a time_n shall_v we_o think_v to_o have_v the_o church_n in_o our_o time_n free_a from_o all_o

to_o show_v you_o your_o great_a mistake_n in_o that_o you_o say_v there_o can_v be_v no_o true_a church_n nor_o minister_n where_o such_o fruit_n be_v but_o beware_v of_o condemn_v the_o generation_n of_o the_o just_a because_o of_o miscarriage_n of_o some_o person_n that_o live_v in_o the_o church_n or_o because_o of_o the_o fault_n and_o infirmity_n of_o the_o godly_a man_n in_o the_o church_n 24._o remember_v what_o a_o curse_n ham_n bring_v upon_o himself_o for_o uncover_v his_o father_n nakedness_n and_o what_o a_o blessing_n shem_fw-mi and_o japhet_n bring_v upon_o themselves_o for_o

among_o you_o it_o be_v better_a to_o err_v in_o over_o much_o charity_n then_o in_o sensoriousnesse_n and_o rash_a judge_v but_o that_o i_o may_v the_o better_o rectify_v your_o judgement_n and_o all_o other_o that_o separate_v from_o our_o church_n i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o show_v you_o your_o mistake_n in_o and_o about_o the_o perfection_n of_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n which_o i_o conceive_v be_v because_o you_o do_v not_o distinguish_v between_o the_o outward_a visible_a church_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o invisible_a church_n the_o mystical_a body_n of_o christ_n now_o i_o say_v that_o the_o invisible_a church_n be_v perfect_a in_o christ_n because_o all_o the_o member_n of_o that_o church_n be_v member_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n be_v join_v in_o one_o spirit_n and_o to_o such_o the_o apostle_n peter_n do_v speak_v unto_o 2._o peter_n a_o apostle_n of_o jesus_n christ_n to_o the_o stranger_n scatter_v throughout_o pontius_n galatia_n cappadocia_n asia_n and_o bythinia_n elect_v according_a to_o the_o foreknowledge_n of_o god_n the_o father_n through_o sanctification_n of_o the_o spirit_n unto_o obedience_n and_o sprinkle_v of_o the_o blood_n of_o

jerusalem_n and_o to_o a_o innumerable_a company_n of_o angel_n to_o the_o general_n assembly_n and_o church_n of_o the_o first_o bear_v which_o be_v write_v in_o heaven_n and_o to_o god_n the_o

of_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n but_o few_o of_o those_o be_v elect_v and_o choose_v to_o life_n and_o salvation_n also_o christ_n say_v 4._o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v liken_v unto_o ten_o

be_v not_o mean_v the_o kingdom_n of_o glory_n but_o the_o church_n visible_a here_o on_o earth_n in_o which_o there_o be_v good_a and_o bad_a but_o you_o say_v that_o our_o minister_n be_v no_o

that_o our_o minister_n do_v profit_v the_o people_n do_v they_o not_o therefore_o profit_v the_o people_n i_o shall_v show_v you_o what_o i_o see_v and_o know_v of_o a_o truth_n of_o their_o profit_v the_o people_n i_o have_v know_v several_a ministe_n who_o have_v come_v to_o parish_n to_o preach_v where_o the_o people_n have_v be_v general_o ignorant_a profane_a and_o superstitious_a and_o god_n

of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n be_v justify_v free_o by_o his_o grace_n through_o the_o redemption_n that_o be_v in_o jesus_n christ_n the_o apostle_n call_v it_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n because_o wrought_v by_o he_o that_o be_v god_n to_o show_v the_o worth_n virtue_n and_o excellency_n of_o the_o same_o 19_o also_o the_o apostle_n say_v for_o if_o by_o one_o man_n offence_n death_n

by_o one_o man_n disobedience_n many_o be_v make_v sinner_n so_o by_o the_o obedience_n of_o one_o shall_v many_o be_v make_v righteous_a mind_v the_o apostle_n say_v 12._o as_o and_o so_o that_o be_v

the_o apostle_n know_v by_o himself_o as_o may_v appear_v by_o his_o own_o word_n touch_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n blameless_a 6._o but_o he_o be_v a_o enemy_n to_o this_o

according_a to_o the_o scripture_n i_o shall_v first_o lay_v down_o this_o proposition_n that_o all_o believer_n be_v justify_v by_o the_o blood_n and_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n be_v sanctify_v
