A67842	A New-Years-gift for the Antinomians particularly Mr. Malebranch Crisp, or, as he foolishly, and yet often (but truly stiles himself the unworthy branch of Dr. Crisp who hath wickedly attempted to underprop a rotten cause of his father, by notorious forgeries, concerning Mr. Baxter, Mr. How, and Dr. Bates, as justifiers of Dr. Crisp as an orthodox man, and no Antinomian: in a rhapsody, intituled, Christ exalted, and Dr. Crisp defended; against the reverend Mr. Alsop, with whom he rudely, and ignorantly plays under the name of his dear Kratiste. By Calvin Anti-Crispian.	Trepidantium Malleus.; C. A.	1699 (1699)	Wing Y83A; ESTC R221087	21,128	48

would give so much for it rather than go without it Evang. Yes I do in another Book Christ made Sin he tells us the same Story but as I remember without the name for that might have spoil'd all when Mr. Cole was alive 1. I have heard him preach against Crispianism tho' I never heard him above Three times 2. I have enquired of the chief of his People who profess they believe not the Story That they heard him often declare against Dr. Crisp The like Story may be told of that Man of a sound Head and Heart Dr. Singleton when dead tho' so zealous a Preacher against Crispianism continually to his immortal honour because in the Face of great Difficulties I meddle not with Mr. Malebranch his honesty but much question his veracity Antin But why call you him Mr. Malebranch was not Malebranch a Wise man of France Evang. Judas the Traitor was not the better for bearing the Name of Judas who wrote an Epistle a part of the Canon of Scripture Evang. Malebranch is more admir'd now than perhaps he will be tho' so great a Man Acontius Stratagemmata Satanae said much his way and brought his Business to Lay-Mens preaching Mr. Lock hath since and brought his Business to Antin But you charged him but now for not proving Commutation of Persons In my mind he hath done it well and I wonder Mr. Alsop could not see it 17 John 21. That they may be One in us Evang. Why Man or rather Child doth that prove any more a change of Persons between Christ and Believers than between the Father and Believers Is the Cause come to this Antin I profess your are right You have caught him but I will desire you to hear his other Arguments and Places of Scripture Evang. I will stop my Ears at any more I thought it high time to lay down the Book when I read such stuff I own a change of Persons tho' not Crisp's wild and awkward way of managing that and every thing else Antin But doth he not gravely and wisely reprove Mr. Alsop for sharp dealing with Mr. L●●● from 2 Tim. 2.24 That the Servant of the Lord must not strive but be gentle towards all Men and when he adviseth him to learn of Christ who was meek and lowly 11 Mat. 29 Evang. They who thus talk and yet are Advocates for the Rascally Buskin-maker do but play with Scripture and make Atheists What is to Prevaricate to be Partial to be Inconsistent a Learned Man in a jeer c. That Mr. Malebranch mentions tho too bad causeless and provoking I confess what is this to Madman Dunce Devoid of Grace c. Ant. But no doubt Sam. Crisp is Serviteur de Dieu as he wrote himself in his Christ made Sin and says he was not Zealous for his Father but for Christ and that the Zeal of God's House had eaten him up And he tells the Gentlemen of Pinners-Hall in that Book That they were fed with the finest of the Wheat by Dr. Owen Mr. Collins Dr. Manton and others Evang. Poor Giddy-brains the Serviteur de Dieu was perhaps all the French he had Was it not fine to see almost all the Hebrew words in our common Letters Was not Dr. Owen a Calvinist Dr. Manton a Baxterian Sure I think the Man is almost galled out of his Senses if ever he had any Did any of them Preach Justification before and without Faith Antin If Mr. Malebranch as you call him in Vindicating Dr. Crisp's Works cannot please you I hope a Reverend Draper may Can you charge him with Lying in his Pulpit or Folly there I assure you Sir He is the most Gospel-Preacher I ever heard He Preacheth of late most Moving Sermons Evang. So I hear For his Hearers begin to leave him apace and not only they but he too must move from the Lecture-place And for those Congregational Divines to whom I was long since a true Prophet I may now say to them as Paul to the Mariners after the Shipwrack You should have hearkened to me 27 Acts 21. and not had this harm and loss Antin Oh! but he hath preached up imputed Sanctification at a most wonderful rate If you please I will read his Arguments Evang. I have heard them and read them in Coffee Houses and every where He might as well have proved all from 1 Gen. 1 2 3. I am sorry to find a Man make himself like a Baboon But did you never hear of a Woman that said She could find in her heart to Prostitute her Body to any Man to testifie against that Idol called Sanctification Antin Sure he sets up as an Advocate for Dr. Crisp and Dr. Crisp taught People better Evang. I have been informed by a worthy Person That that good Man that succeeded Dr. Crisp at Brinksworth complain'd that he could not a long time after the Doctor 's Death bring the Parish into any tolerable Order the Women would hang out their Cloaths Lord's-days c. Antin Do you think the Doctor ever read the Book of Sports for Pastimes on Sabbath-days I believe he would rather lose his Place I know he liv'd at that time when King Charles and Bishop Laud contrary to the Law of God and Man did that Villany Evang. I am not of your Mind I sent lately to Brinksworth to know And the Answer I had was Hardly any are now alive can remember the Book of Sports but they are sure the Doctor never turn'd out at that time Antin Well well if he did read it that was no great matter that was only against the Law not a word against the Gospel Had there been any thing in the Book of Sports against Free Grace Dr. Crisp had never read it Evang. Did not the Draper say The Anabaptist in the Water might see the Womens fair Skins and know their way at another time Are not many once angry with the Apologist now borrowing the Book Antin I cannot deny it Evang. Did he not describe Mr. Baxter and say He said on his Death-bed he had done as much for God as others tho' he had no assurance No but the quite contrary For when one told him of his Good Works he said Talk not of Works God taketh as very a Dung hil-worm to Heaven in taking me as ever he took This had been such an Hypocritical Cant no more need be said The words in deed were odd enough but not so bad I had not those Transports some Men talk of yet I think I know as much as they and have as much rational satisfaction See his Life 1. If he thought he knew so much some think he did not 2. If he did was it Modesty to say so 3. Do Transports follow this Knowledge or this Rational Satisfaction Oh! Doth not God give or deny these as pleaseth him Let us do no Man wrong nor make a thing a Thousand times worse than it is Antin But do you think Mr. Baxter was a Man that made any

A New-Years-Gift FOR THE Antinomians PARTICULARLY Mr. Malebranch Crisp OR As he foolishly and yet often but truly stiles himself The Unworthy Branch of Dr. Crisp WHO Hath Wickedly attempted to underprop a rotten Cause of his Father by Notorious Forgeries concerning Mr. Baxter Mr. How and Dr. Bates as Justifiers of Dr. Crisp as an Orthodox Man and no Antinomian In a Rhapsody Intituled Christ Exalted and Dr. Crisp defended against the Reverend Mr. Alsop with whom he rudely and ignorantly plays under the Name of his Dear Kratiste Malus Corvus malum Ovum What shall be done to thee thou false Tongue By Calvin Anti-Crispian LONDON Printed for John Marshal at the Bible in Grace-Church-street near Cornhil 1699. A New-Years-Gift FOR THE Antinomians PARTICULARLY KAKISTE CRISP By way of Dialogue between Antinomista and Evangelista Evang. GOod morrow Mr. Antinomista What makes you look so merry this Morning Antin Why Man I never care to look otherwise for I have more Wit and more Grace too than to be troubled about Sin But that which makes me smile on you is to think how dull you and such as you are look and must look since a prceion Book lately came out Intituled Christ Exalted and Dr. Crisp defended Have you read it over I pray Evang. No nor never will endure that Penance I know some Ministers of his own Party that are displeas'd with him That a Man of such cheap Abilities should meddle with Ministers Work Tho' the Jackdaw as in the Fable comes forth in stoln Peacocks Plumes Antin What have you I pray to charge the Book or Author with Evang. With Four things 1. With painting that Old rotten Post his Father or Book with notorious Untruths 2. With Pretences of owning or pleading the Cause of Mr. Lobb as if that learned sound Man were theirs Tho' it is well known Mr. Lobb often and truly chargeth in more Books than one Dr. Crisp's Doctrine with Blasphemy c. 3. With clapping under board the more gross black wicked Notions of Dr. Crisp and insisting on Commutation of Persons as if all the Cause or Controversie turn'd there 4. With bringing such woful Proofs for the Change of Persons between Christ and Believers that no Man half-witted would or could do Tho' I own the Phrase rightly understood yet hate to see a Cause fall into such unskilful hands No Creature is more hateful to a Man than a Monkey because so much like a Man and yet none Antin You dare not Sir say this to his Face you should if this be so have applied your self to him in a few kind Lines Evang. So I did and offer'd a friendly Meeting and Conference before his learned worthy Friend Mr. Gouge who tho' no Antinomian is too easily impos'd on by them Antin The false Stories I suppose you mean are That Mr. Baxter should say Two Days before he died That Dr. Crisp was an Orthodox Man and brought more Souls to Christ than We do c. He said this in ipsissimis verbis And that there is not the least grain of Ground to doubt it for he says I came from a faithful holy Minister p 2. And that Mr. Cole told him p. 13 14. That he heard Mr. How say If Dr. Crisp were an Antinomian I am one too and if he mistakes not Dr. Bates was there and said So am I too They are great Stories Evang. I tell you That they are great Lies for which the Publisher deserves the Stoning Doublet which as I hear he wishes for me We know to Goal all must go that oppose his Father's Notions as he as it were petitions our Senators 1. Mr. Williams and Mr. Sylvester Mr. Baxter's most intimate Friends profess they never heard such a Story which had been morally impossible if true 2. It is commonly said among these very Accusers That Mr. Baxter died rather like a Papist than Protestant and what now are we told at the end of Seven Years that he died a Crispian 3. Mr. Baxter when asked on his Death-Bed whether his Mind was changed as about Justification said I have told the World my Mind about it in my Books and there I refer them See his Life there is an owning proh dolor of his Doctrine about Justification to the last Is it possible he should at the same time own Crisp his Doctrine as sound He that added Works to Faith had he now with Crisp thrown away both 4. Had therefore this Minister protested to all the World he heard Mr. Baxter thus say No Man of Brains would or could believe him who knew Mr. Baxter and how tenacious of his Opinion in that Point and what an open long and fierce oppugner he was of Crisp's worst of Doctrine in that Point Of Justification without Faith 5. He says this faithful holy Minister was desir'd by him to give this under his own hand but being prudent he refus'd Would he then had been so prudent too as not to have publish'd so idle a Story 6. Some I know have found out this Young Man who as they affirm to me denies the Truth of the Story That what Mr. Baxter said was on the coming out of Dr. Crisp his Book which I think was a Year and half before he died and that he never said he was Orthodox 7. Had Mr. Baxter so said his next words ought to have been his Confession of his Fault in opposing Orthodox Crisp and to have recall'd his last Book especially against him 8. I could say more to prove his Tale of their faithful holy Minister signifies nothing were it convenient Who ought to expose this Author being a common Adversary more than his Politicks will give him leave As for Mr. How and Dr. Bates 1. They disown this as the Author Mr. Kakiste Malebranch well knows now 2. If he design'd Honesty and Truth they are alive why had he not sent to them to know whether they would own it No doubt he believed the thing not True and fear'd right Information 3. Can any Man imagine that these Two great famous Divines who if not Baxterians are Baxterianish should so run counter to their avow'd Principles as to justifie so Corrupt a Man 4. Suppose I or another should say if denying the conditionality of the Covenant of Grace be Crispianism I am a Crispian Would it follow that I own my self to be a Crispian Well when I am dead I may be publish'd as one too tho' so great an Enemy to the Cause Antin If these Stories be not true The Devil is gone forth for a Liar For I know Men of Note believe them on the Word of honest Sam. Crisp as they call him tho' they be no Antinomians He triumphs in his Stories that God may so touch the Heart of Mr. Alsop c. But I hope you do not in the least question the other Story about Mr. Cole That he should say that if he had but One Hundred Pounds and Dr. Crisp his Book could not be had under Fifty Pounds he

put in practice his own Doctrine against Repentance sorrowing for Sin Compunction Blind Charity What! That made it his Work from the Pulpit the Press and in common Conversation to Ridicule these and make all Legal Yet I see no necessity for any to judge of Mens final woful State when dead the Scripture give us no Precedent but modestly says of Judas He is gone to his Place Go on Antinomista I doubt not if Sin be never a burden to thee here and to thy Followers it shall be a burden to you all in a woful Eternity All that ever I heard or read against the Doctor made me not so to loath him as the reading the Two Hundred Ninety Eight Two Hundred Ninety Ninth and Three Hundreth pages of that worst of Books next to the Alcoran and the Mass-Book of which I have given an Account in other Books and therefore shall not do it now I have brought the Book before wise serious Men who could not believe till their Eyes saw Never never believe Christ ever was ever is ever can be made sweet where Sin is not made bitter I shall never forget that of Austin in his Confessions I read when young Confiteor Peccata mea in amaritudine cordis mei ut tu dulcescas mihi Antin Now I will deal plainly with you and tell you Mr. Antinomista what they say of you Evang. Pray do and spare not for I have lately bought the best Cordial in the World against fainting Fits under any Calumnies or Slanders Antin What did your Cordial cost you I pray and what is it Evang. It cost Two Shillings and it is Socks and Buskins So that I can now wade through thick and thin wherein Mr. Alsop is made a Dunce Madman Graceless Person c. tho' known by his Adversaries as well as Friends to be an excellent Scholar and Preacher a Great Man and Good-One that hath a Library in his Head Antin Did not J. F. one of the greatest Quakers in the City charge you for coming home Drunk from a Tavern at Eleven of the Clock at Night and abusing a Soldier you met with who knock'd you down in Moor-fields then flung a Stone at your Head when at last all was laid on him for his Threat Ten Days before That a Church Friend of theirs vow'd your Head should be broken Did he not to your Face averr when you demanded Proof That you Confest this to him Evang. 1. Had all been true as I can call God Angels and Men to record all is false can any Man be so sensless or take me to be so that I should so confess to him when I at that time charged him with his Threat 2. Mr. George Keith the Reformed Quaker is my Witness I came from his House that Lord's Day Night about Nine of the Clock 3. I challenge all the World to charge me with this Sin Drunkenness once in my Life-time in the University or out of it Can Friend F. or others say it 4. I call'd Witness when he thus said I so Confest to him and profest I would prosecute him if he stood to it But he eat his Words Ioffer again Five Pounds to any Man that shall to my Face prove this Charge Antin But you are highly censur'd for belying Dr. Hicks in your Friendly Epistle to Mr. Keith c. To say he was maintain'd by his Brother John and some Devonshire Presbyterians when a Poor Scholar in Oxford Evang. All is true I was bred up in the same School he was was his Fellow Collegiate for a time and could say more were it convenient Whether when a Poor Scholar he was of St. John's College or Magdalen is not material This Gentleman is not like Dr. Prideaux who all his Days would shew his Leathern Breeches in which he went to the University to all great Persons that visited him Some in this City can testifie they heard his Brother John say it Tho' they train'd up a Bird to pick out their Eyes I would upon many common Considerations and one peculiar one have conceal'd this could I have done it without prejudicing the Cause I then espous'd I say to my Comfort No Lie is found in my Mouth and all that know me know I hated that Sin from a Child and I hope shall to Old Age. This Character Dr. Hicks himself as well as others was once forced to give me Antin Oh! But one thing you can never never get of Mr. Non vos latet The great K. bid all his Pupils report every where from him that you wrote false Latin in a late Printed Latin Epistle to Mr. Lobb Mr. Alsop It should be saith that great Man the Dative Case Vobis He is such a Critick that Grevius the great Grammarian in Holland made a Speech and Dr. K. said there was false Latin in it Evang. It is true he so did Charge me and it is as true he since denies it as I knew he would to save his Credit All the Learned in the City stand by me against him and say He can be no great Man that says Non vos latet is false Latin A Boy of mine but in Aesop's Fables out of that Book confuted an ignorant Sophister of his who pointed at me There goes Vos latet when going into the Pulpit Aesop Lib. 2. Fab. 1. Me fur quidem latet Grevius said of him long since Optime commendat sua To do him right I take him to be no mean Man but a great Man and greater would he be had he learned one thing Ne tua jactato ne aliena despicito I and others thought Me latet had been a Phrase known to most Boys pretending any thing to Learning Can no Englishman speak good Latin Antin Answer me to one thing more and if you can Answer me there as you do in other things it is but in vain to tell you of other Stories Evang. What is that Antin Have you not lately said That you taught a Child not Nine Years old with others to learn to read Greek indifferently well according to Spirits and Accents too and also to learn Article and the first second third and fifth Declension without Book 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and also to read construe parse and say Memoriter the two First Verses of the First Chapter of St. John's Gospel in Greek and all in the space of Four Hours The three days story the Year before was indeed at last believed tho' at first denyed because openly proved Evang. This story is as true as that Many Witnesses were present The Father of the Child for one I doubt not but to do the like again before the Faces of my Accusers but for such as censure and revile and when entreated refuse to come to my House where many that come Scoffers go away satisfied they are Beasts in the shape of Men. To take Boys in a Corner and on a covetous Design to deny or affirm as the Company
