violent fearefull effects which would be but Cruelty and Vanity Should a Rule or Scripture bee discovered to vitious Man And also in seeking for a Cure and Remedy we must look onely towards Jehovah as aforesaid And in it we finde that upon the Examination of the Originall sinne there was a Saviour declared and it appeares there That he should bee the Eternall Word the Sonne of God who should take upon him the Seed of man become flesh and suffer for mans sinne there being one Truth in Scripture and Reason is not here according to our former Conclusions Man to suffer for the Offence God to overcome and by reason of the union contracted with mans Nature to suffer also thereby to make up a full infinite Satisfaction even as Infinite as Iehovah himselfe as it must bee as aforesaid But as it is not therefore requisite to Justice so it is impossible according to the Conceits of some That this Word or Son of God should suffer in his very Essence it being the same with Iehovah himselfe as aforesaid Also though it were necessary in respect of Union with the Divine Nature that it should be pure that was to suffer yet it was not necessary to Satisfaction as is conceived for a sufficient Infinite satisfaction by Mans Nature must discharge Man kinde to exact Justice as aforesaid Let us therefore see if this satisfaction be performed although it bee not necessary as some have weakly Imagined That this should be performed before there is any Benefit to bee received thereby for a certaine though after performance of what is due to Justice is sufficient especially to Jehovah to whom all Time and Things are as Actually and Really as they are in themselves present In this Old Testament we finde it onely declared not performed for although in many parts of it it speaks a present performance But that is onely in determination and benefit of it at that present time to them Seeke wee therefore if we can finde since any performance of it for it is necessary that it bee sometimes done In a Booke called the New Testament or Gospell We finde there was a full punctuall performance This Booke running also parallel with our former conclusions partaking likewise of the Sense of those Reasons which concluded us that the old Testament was by the speciall Power and Ordination of Iehovah in man wee must agree that this is so also and that the Saviour therein mentioned is the right Saviour But in this our rationall Discourse wee neither meddle with Jewes nor Turkes which admit the Old Testament and especially the Jews the Controversies chiefely depending upon Scripture Contents and therefore is not proper to bee decided in this place These two Testaments therefore laying downe and declaring what man is to know or doe to or concerning Iehovah and Declaring the Meanes for mans full Restauration hath therein all that man is to know or doe and Declares Iehovah's will fully Here is the true Religion it declaring a true God a right Service and a sufficient Saviour for Mankinde To what purpose serve the Pagans and Infidells Barbarous Sacrifices in Offering men Infinite onely in Offences The Jewes Lambe a vaine and smoaky savour Mahomets Prayers Injuries and Treasons against Iehovah The Beginnings onely and no other as Porphery saith being able for it And must we not now in wonder and ravishing Astonishment adore the Infinite goodnesse Wisedome and Power of Iehovah our Creator and Recreator Was not the Act of our Redemption the Act of Wisedome the second Being in the Trinity And are not Goodnesse and Power Infinitely appearing in it Wee are therefore bound and bound againe to make good our second Conclusion with our Mouthes and Hearts and to kindle our benummed Abilities to a constant zealous endeavour of Obedience making Jehovah our onely end Hee beeing the Aiming Point for our Understanding and Judgement the Perfect welfare for our Will and the sole continuing resting Point to the whole man and farre more in the Fruition and Actuall partaking of then in the Desire or Speculation which is his sole Felicity which must bee above that it makes happy casting away Riches as Earthly things consisting onely in Fancy and Opinion and mighty procurers of Vice uncertaine and not fit to be desired for themselves Voluptuousnesse as Sensuality soone partaking of Turmoiles and discontents Unlesse that of the Understanding which is the highest Pleasure and must terminate on Iehovah as aforesaid Honours as Blasts of men and Shadowes of other things even Vanity a Multiplication of many Mischiefes for nothing And Policy which meddles onely with the Vaine Things of this world and and hath such a Tincture and Mixture of Vice and Mischiefe Wee speake not of true Wisedome which also is onely a cure to make Man-kinde it selfe the dearest Gift in Nature borne to relieve Humane Imbecility and preserve Humane Society that it is meerly Brutish Settle wee our selves therefore stable upon our True Interest as aforesaid All other things being either Vitious and Brutish or Froth and Smoak against all Cavills of Imagination with a firme Resolution Maugre our Distempered Natures which admit not onely our Habituall Complexionall Opinions but also our Suspitions and Hear-sayes to oppose and beare downe in our Mindes fully proved Truth So our Reason shall make us stedfast and our Beliefe sure Let this suffice for our Rationall Discourse upon these Subjects This Conclusion being That the Bookes of the OLD and NEVV TESTAMENT Commonly called the Scriptures are the True and Perfect Rule for the Performance of JEHOVAH'S Honour and Worship And that they Declare a Right Way and Meanes for Mans full Restauration Sic Cogitavit J.
