A34984 An alarum sounded in the borders of spiritual Egypt vvhich shall be heard in Babylon, and astonish the inhabitants of the defiled and polluted habitations of the earth. And the power of the Prince of Darkness called into question; and he himself examin'd by the truth, how he came to raign over mankind; and how long his time shall be, till he comes to be cast out of his dominion, and the creature be deliver'd from under his tyranny; to serve God in spirit and in truth, as Christ, the prince of peace, has order'd them. Also the number of him whom the world hath wonder'd after, found out; and demonstrated to be near at an end: and withal, that it is no wayes unlawful, nor in vain, both to hope, and to expect the utter desolation, and destruction of sin in this life, and the setting up of perfect righteousness in the souls of men, where sin has too long raign'd. Written in a testimony to the truth, and against the false position of the devil, and his servants; by a servant of God, Steven Crisp. Crisp, Stephen, 1628-1692. 1671 (1671) Wing C6922; ESTC R215182 35,940 50

the_o grace_n of_o god_n that_o bring_v salvation_n have_v appear_v unto_o all_o man_n teach_v we_o that_o deny_v ungodliness_n and_o worldly_a lust_n we_o shall_v live_v sober_o righteous_o and_o

not_o yet_o a_o perfect_a salvation_n for_o those_o that_o have_v it_o may_v fall_v from_o it_o again_o and_o so_o not_o be_v save_v but_o those_o that_o endure_v to_o the_o end_n shall_v be_v save_v 2._o but_o second_o it_o be_v christ_n who_o be_v the_o preserver_n and_o keeper_n unto_o the_o end_n of_o those_o that_o trust_v in_o he_o and_o the_o apostle_n testify_v that_o those_o that_o be_v

and_o paul_n testify_v that_o the_o keep_n be_v by_o jesus_n christ_n phil._n 4.7_o so_o here_o you_o may_v see_v that_o the_o bring_n to_o the_o state_n of_o perfection_n and_o the_o keep_n from_o

whoever_o come_v to_o perfect_a salvation_n he_o come_v to_o know_v christ_n to_o be_v a_o offer_n for_o sin_n and_o to_o obtain_v reconciliation_n with_o god_n and_o forgiveness_n of_o his_o former_a sin_n for_o all_o the_o holy_a conversation_n and_o perfection_n of_o life_n can_v be_v count_v no_o more_o but_o his_o duty_n and_o therefore_o he_o can_v obtain_v remission_n of_o one_o of_o his_o former_a sin_n but_o those_o that_o confess_v their_o sin_n and_o forsake_v they_o such_o come_v to_o forgiveness_n by_o jesus_n christ_n and_o come_v to_o know_v his_o blood_n cleanse_v they_o from_o all_o their_o former_a sin_n and_o so_o they_o come_v to_o perfect_a salvation_n by_o grace_n not_o by_o work_n but_o by_o faith_n that_o work_v in_o the_o love_n of_o god_n unto_o obedience_n without_o which_o faith_n be_v but_o dead_a and_o make_v no_o man_n save_v but_o those_o that_o have_v this_o true_a faith_n and_o hope_n in_o they_o they_o purify_v themselves_o as_o he_o be_v pure_a 1_o jo._n 3.3_o and_o he_o that_o have_v not_o this_o hope_n do_v not_o purify_v himself_o neither_o do_v he_o believe_v that_o he_o can_v do_v it_o and_o by_o this_o we_o know_v the_o true_a believer_n from_o the_o false_a and_o by_o this_o sinner_n be_v make_v manifest_a that_o can_v stand_v in_o the_o congregation_n of_o the_o righteous_a psal_n 1.5_o so_o now_o let_v all_o the_o pleader_n for_o sin_n stop_v their_o mouth_n for_o ever_o and_o let_v the_o devil_n stand_v for_o himself_o and_o plead_v his_o own_o cause_n and_o henceforth_o do_v not_o despise_v and_o revile_v the_o innocent_a that_o be_v travel_v and_o strive_v after_o perfection_n with_o a_o faith_n to_o obtain_v it_o that_o they_o think_v to_o be_v save_v by_o their_o own_o work_n for_o we_o hope_v for_o

in_o the_o power_n of_o christ_n believe_v that_o the_o devil_n be_v more_o able_a to_o keep_v the_o creature_n and_o to_o hold_v fast_o that_o which_o by_o deceit_n and_o treachery_n he_o have_v

be_v defile_v the_o work_n will_v be_v unclean_a that_o be_v wrought_v in_o that_o nature_n second_o the_o second_o plead_v be_v that_o never_o any_o man_n be_v free_v from_o sin_n ever_o since_o

then_o to_o sin_n both_o to_o hope_v and_o to_o expect_v that_o the_o same_o work_n shall_v again_o be_v wrought_v in_o and_o for_o they_o without_o presumption_n now_o that_o all_o man_n be_v sinner_n by_o nature_n be_v evident_a and_o that_o some_o be_v change_v out_o of_o that_o natural_a state_n be_v as_o evident_a so_o that_o the_o question_n be_v only_o whether_o those_o that_o be_v
