was opened within me when I heard my Parents speak any thing of the Messiah tho' they would not tell me that he who was slain without the Walls of Jerusalem was the Messiah they talked of two Messiahs one that should come to be slain the other to deliver It may be that both Jews and Gentiles will in a short time be called in the Lord will call them And I wish that at this Day God would turn the Hearts of all People that they may all come to Jesus Christ Oh! the Joy the Comfort the Happiness that is to be found there There is Salvation in none other but in him whether shall we go saith Peter Thou hast the Words of eternal Life Indeed there is no other Way we must have no Confidence in the Flesh we must deny all our Comforts and come to Jesus Christ all must be laid down but Jesus Christ Mr. H. If you have Brethren any other Question to propound Mr. Shalome is very free to answer them It was desired by the Church that something might be asked him concerning his Conviction of Original Sin Mr. H. What do you think about the Pollution of your Nature Shal. What do you mean by Pollution Mr. H. Do you find any Evil workings in your Heart Shal. Yes but Jesus Christ takes them off Mr. H. Whence do you think you received this Corruption and Pollution Shal. From the first Adam for in Sin I was conceived and born in Iniquity and the Corruption of my Nature is such that it hath rendred me utterly unable to keep the Law in its Demands and therefore by the Law was I drove to Jesus Christ i. e. when I saw the Law to be so holy just and good so Spiritual and I so Carnal that it required so much and I was able to perform so little and the Gospel making a Discovery of one who had kept the Law and satisfied Justice to the full I fled for Refuge from the Law as a Covenant of Works to lay hold of the Hope that is set before me in the Gospel as a Covenant of Grace this is what I intend by the Laws driving me to Christ Mr. H. What do you when you find these evil Thoughts stirring in you Shal. What Why then I fly to Jesus Christ to that Blood which hath washed me from all my Sins and roul my self wholly on Christ Mr. H. Think you that you stand Righteous before God Shal. In Jesus Christ I do tho' not in my self for in my self I am a condemned Creature but yet I am fully satisfied that there is no Condemnation to me being in Jesus Christ tho' I may slip and fall through the stirrings of the Old Man in me which in themselves are sufficient Matter for Condemnation yet seeing my self in Jesus Christ I know there is no Condemnation to me for these Facts Mr. H. What think you of Jesus Christ's keeping the Commandments Shal. He kept them perfectly for me had he broke the Law in the least Point he had been no better than the first Adam was and we had been utterly undone Had he broke one Commandment he had been guilty of all Mr. H. Wherefore desire you Communion with this Church Shal. 1st Because Christ hath made it my Duty And 2d To Renew the Actings of my Faith on Jesus Christ Mr. Shalome withdrew Mr. H. Brethren you have heard the Account of God's Dealing with the Soul of Mr. Shalome Let me acquaint you that I have occasionally had a considerable Acquaintance with him perhaps as much as any one Man here I must needs say I think he hath given as uncontroulable a Proof of God's Dealing with his Soul by way of Conversion as any one I have conversed with since I came into the Ministry altho' his Language may be broken and his Phraseology unusual yet I have observed a true Strain of Faith run through his discourse and he hath given me sufficient Reason to conclude that he is a stronger Believer than most of us Gentiles According to the usual Custom observed by the Congregational Churches in their Admission of Members the Question was put affirmatively and negatively whether Mr. Shalome Ben Shalomoh should be admitted a Member of this Church and it passed Nemine Contradicente in the former After I came to the Lord's Supper I found much Joy and Comfort as if I lived out of the World nothing but Joy and Rejoycing I see that Jesus Christ as he is God is my Father but as Man he is my elder Brother It hath pleased God to discover something to me of the Glory of that Covenant that he made with Abraham in Gen. 17. I am assured it is a Covenant of Grace Ratifyed and Confirmed in the Blood of Jesus and doth belong to me and my Seed in their Generations so that I am perswaded and assured that my Children have as just a Right to Baptism as the Seed of Abraham of old had to Circumcision or as Believers have now to the Lord's Supper in as much as it is an external Sign of the Washing away of Sin by the Blood of Jesus Christ God hath made himself over to me in absolute Covenant made to Abraham and to my Seed as a part of me and when I take the Lord's Supper in Faith I see that as really as the Bread is broken and the Wine poured forth the Body of Christ was broken and his Blood poured forth for the Remission of my Sins when I recollect my former State that when I lay in my Blood and was led away Captive by Sin when I thought not on Jesus Christ yea before I was born Jesus Christ thought of me and laid down his Life for me and made Satisfaction for my Sin when I say I consider these things I am made to pray for the Spirit of Praise that I may glorifie God for ever who by the Riches of his Grace hath brought me in as the First-fruits of that great harvest of the Jews when a Nation shall be born in a Day which I firmly believe is at hand ERRATA PReface Page 2. line 20 lege 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 put Art 13. of Church of England to the 21 line The following PROOFS out of the OLD and NEW TESTAMENT concerning the Godhead Manhood Doctrine Death and Resurrection of the Messiah being transmitted to us we thought good to publish it which by the Divine Blessing may tend to the Conviction of the Jews and to the Building up many in their most Holy Faith who profess a Belief in the Name of Jesus Christ.
