not then be a wonderful Change in the Body and yet the Substance not annihilated nor destroyed Nor does it follow from our not believing nor owning his Characters of natural and Earthly on Christ's Glorious Body that therefore nothing of that Body remains or is in being as he falsly and frequently argues in his Books For he has confessed Christ hath a Glorious Body and all the Saints shall have like Bodies Phil. 3. ult And that both his is and theirs will be spiritual heavenly glorious for Qualities pag. 29. of his Jesus of Nazareth And grants it Angelical Spiritual Celestial as to Qualities pag. 31. ibid. If SPIRITUAL and HEAVENLY or CELESTIAL c. be Qualities then NATURAL and EARTHLY and CARNAL are Qualities also And if we must believe our Adversary when he says Christ's Body in Heaven is very glorious spiritual and heavenly for Qualities yea brighter then a Thousand Suns then we must not believe him where he says 't is natural earthly c. which are contrary to spiritual and heavenly If hee 'l yet infer that then there 's nothing of the Substance in being we deny his Inference it being also contrary to his own Confession viz. That the same Substance remains so that it may be so wonderfully changed as to Qualities and yet the Substance neither destroyed lost or nullified But to wave many more of W. Haworth's Untruths and false Consequences in his Books and Sheet take two or three Instances of his Falshoods and Forgeries which are very obvious in matter of fact in the 6th and 7th pages of his Sheet touching Christ's Ascention where he says that When we say the same man ascended by ascending into HEAVEN he says we mean the Globe which we call the EARTH Which is all one as to say that by HEAVEN we mean EARTH For proof of this notorious and most absurd Falshood he refers the Reader to the 16th page of his last and saith According to our Principle there was nothing of the Man Christ to ascend As if we allowed nothing of the Man Christ either of Spirit or Body to have a Being after his Resurrection to ascend a most horrid Falshood brought to prove another such as his Book and Page quoted is stufft with His pretended Reason is answered else-where in this viz. If the Body was changed as to Substance c. For though it was changed and become more excellent refined and glorious in the Substance it follows not that 't was annihilated He addeth And the humane Soul Immense Another Falshood still imposed on us in his own Unscriptural Phrase Though Christ be God and Man in a most glorious Union and Power yet the Manhood is not the Deity nor the Deity the Manhood yet inseparable in the Heavenly Man Christ who is Lord from Heaven W. H. saith He remembers one of G. Fox 's Interpretations that when 't is said he took upon him the Seed of Abraham that Seed was the Light within On this we asked Where does Geo. Fox so interpret that Scripture we do not believe he ever did so William Haworth gives us this answer viz. I did not say I received it in his Books but I Remember c. I have heard it and from good hands whether they have heard it from his Mouth or read it in his Books I know not I do believe it Rep. Observe how wonderful Credulous this man's Malice makes him against us to make a direct Charge from a Report viz. That he remembers that it was one of G. Fox's Interpretations on the Scripture cited But now he remembers he hath heard it so REIORTED and he does believe it One while he remembers it was Geo. Fox's Interpretation another while he believes it as having had it from other Hands but whose Hands he tells us not that we may know or enquire how good it is greatly to be questioned whether he has not herein belyed good Hands to cover his Lye against G. F. and us But to support his Credit in this matter he bids us Hear Naylor interpret this thing in the very same way Love to the Lost Preface viz. So to the Light within makes for the gathering Creatures together to that one Name and Seed wherein all the Nations of the Earth are blessed Do but see how hard the man 's put to it for a Proof to save his Credit But how much besides the Point in two respects 1st as to the Person 2dly as to the Thing for 1st James Naylor is not G. Fox 2dly The Light of Christ within or what proceeds from him the Root making for the gathering Creatures together in that one Name and Seed wherein the Nations are blessed is not the same with saying That Seed Rom. 1. of Abraham which according to the Flesh Christ took upon him was the Light within nor either of them the Interpretation of that Scripture For that Name and Seed wherein Nations are blessed is Christ himself Not that the Fleshly Seed taken by Christ was the Light within How miserably hath this Adversary come off Oportet mendacem esse memorem Also where William Haworth accuseth the Quakers Now to say That what Paul saith in Rom. 4. 6. is contrary to what David saith in Psal 32. 2. For this he quoteth the eighth page of our Vindication Doct. 11. with this addition viz. They cite the words of Romans 4. 6. and then say contrary to Psalm 32. 2. Thus sayes he they set one Scripture against another Rep. Here he has committed an abominable Falshood twice over 1st in his Jes Naz. pag. 8 9. and 2dly in his Sheet For in our Vindication there is no such thing as that what Paul sayes Rom. 4. 6. is contrary to Psal 32. 2. Neither do we say that these words cited Rom. 4. 6. are contrary to Psal 32. 2. Nor yet do we set one Scripture against another as he has most falsly accused us but his own false Exposition and Perversion on David's and Paul's word in Psalm 32. 2 and Rom. 4. 6. As where David describes the Blessedness of the Man unto whom God imputeth Righteousness without Works What Works sayes William Haworth and then answers Done by the Spirit surely for such were David 's Works see his Antidote page 18. line 25. Whereas 't was not David's words but these last words of William Haworth viz. DONE BY THE SPIRIT SVRELY these were shewed by great Characters that we opposed to David's words Psal 32. 2. As to say That God imputeth Righteousness without Works done by the Spirit this we affirm is contrary to David in Psalm 32. 2. where the blessed Qualification of that man unto whom the Lord imputeth not Iniquity is intimated viz. in whose Spirit there is NO Guile Now a man's Spirit can neither be sanctified nor clear from Guile without the Work of the Spirit of God Therefore to say that a man is imputatively Righteous or blessed of God without any Works done in him by his Spirit is erroneous and
