A77832 A vindication of the book called, Some Gospel-truths opened; according to the Scriptures, and the opposition made against it by Edward Borrough, a professed Quaker, (but proved an enemie to the truth) examined and confuted by the word of God. And also, the things that were then laid down, and declared to the world by me, are a second-time born witness to, according to truth: with the answer of Edward Burrough to the quæries then laid down in my book reproved. And also, a plain answer to his quæries, given in simplicitie of soul; and is now also presented to the world, or who else may read, or hear them; to the end (if God will) that truth may be discovered thereby. / by John Bunyan ... Bunyan, John, 1628-1688.; Burrough, Edward, 1634-1662.; Bunyan, John, 1628-1688. Some gospel-truths opened according to the Scriptures. 1657 (1657) Wing B5606; ESTC R170889 81,202 76

forth_o by_o edward_n borrough_n in_o seem_a opposition_n to_o that_o of_o i_o call_v some_o gospel-truths_n open_a according_o to_o the_o scripture_n yet_o the_o substance_n of_o my_o discourse_n then_o publish_v by_o i_o stand_v uncontrolled_a by_o scripture_n as_o from_o he_o or_o other_o i_o do_v not_o say_v he_o do_v not_o wrangle_v with_o they_o but_o i_o say_v he_o do_v not_o by_o any_o one_o plain_a scripture_n contradict_v they_o as_o for_o instance_n the_o first_o great_a thing_n that_o i_o do_v hold_v forth_o in_o that_o discourse_n be_v this_o that_o that_o babe_n that_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o virgin_n mary_n and_o that_o at_o that_o time_n do_v give_v satisfaction_n for_o sin_n be_v the_o very_a christ_n of_o god_n and_o not_o a_o type_n of_o any_o thing_n afterward_o to_o be_v reveal_v for_o the_o obtain_n redemption_n for_o sinner_n within_o they_o which_o thing_n my_o adversary_n can_v find_v no_o ground_n in_o scripture_n to_o build_v a_o opposition_n upon_o see_v his_o book_n page_n 12._o but_o be_v force_v to_o confess_v it_o in_o word_n though_o he_o do_v deny_v the_o very_a same_o in_o doctrine_n see_v his_o book_n p._n 29._o at_o his_o six_o

this_o because_o they_o wicked_o judge_v he_o to_o be_v a_o blasphemer_n and_o as_o in_o their_o account_n say_v he_o he_o die_v as_o a_o evil_a doer_n and_o this_o be_v all_o the_o ground_n he_o

book_n be_v that_o that_o light_n which_o every_o one_o have_v be_v not_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n because_o the_o scripture_n say_v some_o have_v it_o not_o judas_n 19_o but_o edward_n borrough_n say_v it_o be_v give_v to_o every_o one_o p._n 18._o of_o his_o book_n and_o he_o say_v they_o have_v it_o within_o they_o too_o p._n 26_o of_o his_o book_n in_o answer_n to_o my_o first_o question_n though_o he_o have_v no_o scripture_n to_o confirm_v the_o same_o as_o i_o have_v have_v to_o contradict_v it_o see_v his_o book_n 3._o the_o next_o thing_n i_o prove_v be_v that_o jesus_n christ_n do_v fulfil_v the_o law_n in_o his_o own_o person_n without_o we_o for_o justification_n and_o that_o his_o blood_n then_o shed_v have_v wash_v away_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o child_n of_o god_n as_o aforesaid_a which_o thing_n he_o will_v oppose_v but_o find_v no_o foot_n for_o his_o discourse_n see_v his_o book_n p._n 12._o where_o he_o say_v the_o law_n be_v not_o fulfil_v read_v the_o latter_a end_n of_o that_o page_n contrary_a to_o scripture_n col._n 2.14_o rom._n 10_o 4._o which_o say_v he_o do_v fulfil_v all_o the_o law_n for_o justification_n for_o every_o one_o that_o believe_v another_o thing_n i_o prove_v in_o that_o book_n be_v that_o christ_n be_v ascend_v into_o that_o heaven_n without_o above_o the_o cloud_n and_o star_n and_o that_o i_o prove_v by_o eight_o several_a scripture_n demonstration_n of_o which_o not_o one_o be_v confute_v by_o scripture_n though_o secret_o in_o his_o book_n smite_v against_o read_v his_o whole_a book_n 4._o the_o next_o thing_n i_o prove_v be_v that_o the_o same_o jesus_n that_o be_v bear_v of_o mary_n lay_v in_o the_o manger_n who_o be_v the_o saviour_n be_v at_o this_o day_n make_v intercession_n in_o that_o body_n he_o then_o take_v of_o mary_n which_o thing_n also_o be_v not_o confute_v by_o he_o by_o the_o scripture_n though_o cunning_o smite_v against_o in_o his_o discourse_n where_o he_o say_v it_o be_v only_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n to_o preach_v christ_n within_o lay_v aside_o all_o that_o christ_n do_v when_o he_o be_v in_o his_o own_o person_n in_o the_o world_n see_v p._n 29_o of_o his_o book_n qu._n 6._o 5._o another_o truth_n i_o prove_v be_v that_o the_o very_a same_o jesus_n that_o be_v bear_v of_o mary_n that_o very_a man_n that_o be_v also_o hang_v on_o the_o cross_n will_v come_v the_o second_o time_n and_o that_o shall_v be_v to_o save_v his_o child_n and_o to_o judge_v the_o world_n at_o the_o last_o day_n that_o great_a day_n of_o judgement_n and_o though_o they_o will_v not_o own_o that_o he_o shall_v so_o come_v as_o he_o go_v away_o which_o be_v a_o very_a man_n without_o yet_o they_o can_v not_o at_o all_o by_o the_o scripture_n contradict_v it_o but_o the_o very_a sum_n of_o his_o discourse_n be_v a_o wrangle_n with_o the_o thing_n lay_v down_o as_o a_o dog_n with_o a_o bone_n but_o have_v not_o nor_o can_v by_o scripture_n overcome_v the_o same_o this_o have_v i_o write_v that_o the_o reader_n into_o who_o hand_n this_o book_n may_v come_v may_v have_v the_o more_o certain_a
information_n concern_v the_o thing_n before_o publish_v by_o i_o and_o also_o concern_v the_o opposition_n make_v against_o they_o by_o the_o adversary_n and_o here_o because_o i_o be_o loath_a to_o be_v too_o tedious_a i_o do_v conclude_v and_o desire_v thy_o prayer_n to_o god_n for_o i_o if_o thou_o be_v a_o christian_a that_o i_o may_v not_o only_o be_v preserve_v to_o the_o end_n in_o the_o faith_n of_o jesus_n but_o that_o god_n will_v enable_v i_o to_o be_v a_o earnest_n contend_v for_o the_o same_o even_o to_o the_o last_o and_o rest_n the_o servant_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n john_n bunyan_n a_o vindication_n of_o the_o book_n call_v some_o gospel-truths_n open_v according_a to_o the_o scripture_n and_o the_o opposition_n make_v against_o it_o by_o edward_z borough_n a_o

that_o thereby_o those_o which_o be_v indeed_o of_o the_o truth_n may_v be_v make_v manifest_a and_o also_o that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o god_n and_o his_o son_n jesus_n christ_n may_v the_o more_o cast_v forth_o its_o lustre_n and_o glory_n for_o the_o truth_n be_v of_o that_o nature_n that_o the_o more_o it_o be_v oppose_v the_o more_o glory_n it_o appear_v in_o and_o the_o more_o the_o

it_o i_o do_v some_o few_o week_n pass_v put_v forth_o a_o small_a book_n call_v some_o gospel-truths_n open_a and_o so_o forth_o and_o the_o thing_n i_o look_v for_o from_o they_o be_v namely_o

it_o may_v have_v make_v i_o keep_v those_o truth_n within_o my_o breast_n which_o be_v now_o make_v manifest_a by_o i_o as_o well_o as_o other_o to_o the_o world_n now_o i_o have_v not_o only_o meet_v with_o some_o opposition_n from_o other_o face_n to_o face_n in_o secret_a but_o there_o be_v one_o edward_n borrough_n as_o i_o hear_v his_o name_n be_v so_o by_o some_o of_o themselves_o that_o have_v venture_v to_o stand_v up_o against_o the_o truth_n with_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o companion_n and_o have_v publish_v a_o book_n call_v the_o true_a faith_n of_o the_o gospel_n of_o

which_o thing_n in_o this_o my_o discourse_n i_o shall_v very_o plain_o discover_v and_o the_o way_n that_o i_o shall_v take_v shall_v be_v first_o by_o lay_v down_o some_o of_o thy_o expression_n

according_a to_o the_o scripture_n only_o by_o the_o way_n i_o think_v good_a to_o mind_v thou_o of_o thy_o clothing_n thyself_o with_o the_o word_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n against_o who_o thou_o do_v fight_v as_o will_v appear_v in_o my_o follow_a discourse_n and_o also_o of_o thy_o endeavour_v to_o wrest_v the_o sword_n out_o of_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o saint_n and_o be_v
