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

clear_o appear_v that_o those_o that_o be_v carry_v away_o be_v such_o as_o be_v not_o able_a to_o discern_v between_o fair_a speech_n declare_v by_o heretic_n and_o sound_a doctrine_n declare_v by_o the_o simplehearted_n servant_n of_o jesus_n 2_o now_o i_o shall_v lay_v down_o several_a ground_n not_o only_o why_o error_n be_v broach_v in_o the_o world_n but_o also_o why_o so_o many_o be_v carry_v away_o with_o they_o 1._o one_o ground_n why_o so_o many_o error_n do_v from_o time_n to_o time_n come_v into_o the_o world_n be_v because_o those_o that_o be_v not_o indeed_o of_o the_o plant_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v right_a hand_n may_v be_v root_v out_o mat._n 15.13_o now_o these_o be_v many_o time_n carry_v away_o by_o deceivable_a doctrine_n and_o true_o in_o this_o our_o god_n have_v both_o a_o care_n of_o his_o own_o glory_n and_o of_o his_o church_n welfare_n for_o fi●st_v shall_v they_o not_o be_v sweep_v away_o by_o some_o heresy_n or_o other_o there_o may_v be_v great_a dishonour_n bring_v to_o his_o name_n by_o their_o continue_v among_o his_o people_n and_o second_o that_o he_o may_v take_v away_o such_o grievance_n as_o such_o may_v bring_v have_v they_o continue_v still_o in_o the_o society_n of_o his_o child_n 2._o another_o ground_n why_o the_o lord_n do_v suffer_v such_o error_n to_o come_v into_o the_o world_n be_v because_o those_o that_o be_v christian_n indeed_o may_v be_v approve_v and_o appear_v 1_o cor._n 11.19_o for_o there_o must_v be_v heresy_n among_o you_o that_o th●se_a that_o be_v approve_v may_v be_v make_v manifest_a shall_v not_o the_o lord_n go_v this_o way_n to_o work_v sometime_o there_o will_v be_v many_o that_o will_v make_v people_n believe_v that_o they_o be_v christian_n and_o yet_o be_v not_o and_o again_o that_o he_o may_v make_v it_o appear_v that_o though_o there_o be_v heretic_n yet_o he_o have_v a_o people_n enable_v by_o his_o spirit_n to_o contradict_v and_o oppose_v they_o and_o plead_v to_o the_o truth_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o his_o glorious_a gospel_n against_o they_o 3._o another_o ground_n why_o the_o lord_n do_v suffer_v yea_o even_o send_v delusion_n among_o the_o people_n be_v that_o those_o who_o be_v so_o idle_a and_o slothful_a as_o not_o to_o seek_v after_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n in_o sincerity_n may_v be_v take_v away_o and_o violent_o possess_v with_o error_n and_o be_v make_v to_o run_v greedy_o after_o the_o same_o that_o they_o may_v smart_v the_o more_o for_o their_o neglect_n of_o the_o truth_n for_o always_o those_o who_o be_v lazy_a in_o seek_v after_o the_o truth_n when_o it_o be_v proffer_v and_o afterward_o hasty_a after_o the_o doctrine_n of_o devil_n when_o that_o be_v declare_v to_o they_o shall_v be_v sure_a to_o have_v their_o latter_a behaviour_n to_o ri●e_v up_o in_o judgement_n against_o they_o in_o that_o when_o the_o truth_n be_v proffer_v to_o they_o they_o be_v idle_a and_o do_v not_o receive_v it_o and_o yet_o when_o delusion_n do_v proffer_n itself_o they_o be_v industrious_a and_o labour_v now_o mark_v that_o they_o all_o may_v be_v damn_v who_o believe_v not_o the_o truth_n but_o have_v pleasure_n in_o unrighteousness_n because_o they_o receive_v not_o the_o truth_n in_o the_o love_n of_o it_o that_o they_o may_v be_v save_v and_o for_o this_o cause_n god_n shall_v send_v they_o strong_a delusion_n that_o they_o may_v believe_v a_o lie_n and_o be_v damn_v 2_o thes_n 2._o ver_fw-la 10_o 11_o 12._o now_o in_o the_o second_o place_n why_o so_o many_o be_v so_o easy_o carry_v away_o with_o error_n in_o this_o day_n the_o ground_n be_v these_o ●●at_n follow_v 1._o because_o man_n count_v it_o enough_o to_o be_v professor_n of_o the_o truth_n without_o seek_v to_o be_v possessor_n of_o the_o same_o now_o because_o man_n be_v but_o only_a professor_n of_o the_o truth_n not_o have_v it_o in_o their_o heart_n in_o reality_n they_o be_v carry_v away_o with_o a_o error_n if_o it_o come_v in_o never_o so_o little_a power_n more_o than_o the_o truth_n they_o profess_v and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o so_o many_o be_v carry_v away_o with_o the_o error_n that_o be_v broach_v in_o these_o day_n because_o they_o have_v not_o indeed_o receive_v the_o lord_n jesus_n by_o the_o revelation_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o with_o power_n but_o by_o the_o relation_n of_o other_o only_a and_o so_o have_v no_o other_o witness_n to_o set_v they_o down_o withal_o but_o the_o history_n of_o the_o word_n and_o the_o relation_n of_o other_o concern_v the_o truth_n contain_v therein_o though_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n this_o way_n shall_v abundant_o aggravate_v their_o damnation_n yet_o they_o have_v not_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o confirm_v these_o thing_n effectual_o unto_o they_o they_o be_v carry_v away_o with_o delusion_n 2._o another_o reason_n why_o so_o many_o be_v carry_v away_o with_o delusion_n be_v those_o difference_n that_o be_v among_o the_o child_n of_o god_n about_o small_a matter_n o_o friend_n how_o be_v the_o hand_n of_o the_o enemy_n strengthen_v by_o our_o carnality_n while_o one_o say_v i_o be_o of_o paul_n and_o another_o i_o be_o of_o apollo_n many_o apoor_a soul_n be_v carry_v away_o with_o delusion_n and_o why_o so_o they_o be_v not_o satify_v that_o this_o be_v the_o truth_n because_o the_o child_n be_v at_o disfference_n among_o themselves_o about_o some_o outward_a thing_n and_o again_o it_o make_v those_o that_o be_v not_o so_o desperate_o possess_v with_o a_o spirit_n of_o delusion_n as_o be_v other_o but_o be_v mere_a moral_a man_n i_o say_v it_o make_v they_o to_o say_v within_o themselves_o and_o one_o to_o another_o there_o be_v so_o many_o sect_n and_o judgement_n in_o the_o world_n that_o we_o can_v tell_v which_o way_n to_o take_v and_o therefore_o you_o that_o have_v the_o spirit_n pray_v that_o these_o thing_n may_v cease_v lest_o you_o blush_v for_o your_o folly_n at_o the_o appear_v of_o jesus_n our_o lord_n 3._o the_o pride_n covetousness_n and_o impiety_n of_o hypocrite_n and_o carnal_a professor_n be_v great_a stumbling-block_n to_o the_o poor_a world_n and_o the_o cause_n why_o many_o at_o this_o day_n do_v drink_v down_o so_o greedy_o a_o delude_a doctrine_n and_o especial_o if_o it_o come_v with_o a_o garment_n of_o pretend_a holiness_n but_o as_o for_o these_o they_o shall_v go_v to_o their_o place_n in_o their_o time_n with_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o almighty_a pow_o ed_z out_o upon_o they_o for_o their_o cast_n of_o stumbling-block_n before_o the_o simple_a by_o their_o loose_a conversation_n if_o they_o do_v not_o hasty_o repent_v of_o their_o wickedness_n and_o close_o in_o reality_n with_o our_o bless_a lord_n jesus_n 4._o another_o reason_n why_o delusion_n do_v so_o easy_o take_v place_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o ignorant_a be_v because_o those_o that_o pretend_v to_o be_v their_o teacher_n do_v behave_v themselves_o so_o base_o among_o they_o and_o indeed_o i_o may_v say_v of_o these_o as_o our_o lord_n say_v of_o the_o pharisee_n in_o a_o other_o case_n all_z the_o blood_n of_o the_o ignorant_a from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n shall_v be_v lay_v to_o the_o charge_n of_o this_o generation_n they_o that_o pretend_v they_o be_v send_v of_o the_o lord_n and_o come_v say_v thus_o say_v the_o lord_n we_o be_v the_o servant_n of_o the_o lord_n our_o commission_n be_v from_o the_o lord_n by_o succession_n and_o the_o like_a i_o say_v these_o pretend_v themselves_o to_o be_v the_o preacher_n of_o truth_n but_o be_v not_o do_v by_o their_o loose_a conversation_n render_v the_o doctrine_n of_o god_n and_o his_o son_n jesus_n christ_n by_o who_o the_o saint_n be_v save_v contemptible_a and_o do_v give_v the_o adversary_n mighty_a encouragement_n to_o cry_v out_o against_o the_o truth_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n because_o of_o their_o wicked_a walk_n now_o shall_v not_o his_o soul_n be_v avenge_v on_o such_o a_o nation_n as_o this_o who_o pretend_v to_o be_v teacher_n of_o the_o people_n in_o goodness_n when_o as_o for_o the_o most_o pa●t_a of_o they_o they_o be_v the_o man_n that_o at_o this_o day_n do_v so_o harden_v their_o hearer_n in_o their_o sin_n by_o give_v they_o even_o their_o hearer_n such_o ill_a example_n that_o none_o go_v beyond_o they_o for_o impiety_n as_o for_o example_n will_v a_o parishioner_n learn_v to_o be_v proud_a he_o or_o she_o n●ed_v look_v no_o further_o then_o to_o the_o priest_n his_o wife_n and_o family_n for_o there_o be_v a_o notable_a pattern_n before_o they_o will_v the_o people_n learn_v to_o be_v wanton_a they_o may_v also_o see_v a_o pattern_n among_o their_o teacher_n will_v they_o learn_v to_o be_v
