sent for such a Work as that of Restitution as also how far the Phrase Heavens and Heavenly Places according to Scripture extends Whereas to our saying The Apostles had Signs and Evidences of Christ's Coming who by HIM wrought Miracles Act 4. 10. i. e. saith he The Miracles were Signs of his Personal Coming since his Ascention p. 14. Personal Coming are none of our words but this Man 's own Meaning on ours therefore his Risum teneatis amici with all his scornful Stuff toucheth not us It was Christ's Spiritual Presence and Power that we pleaded in those Miracles And he is fain to grant that Miracles wrought by the Apostles were only Signs of the Coming of Christ in Power and Spirit P. 14. Well then CHRIST came again in Power and Spirit after his Ascention yes and on that Scripture Jo. 3. 13. he confesseth CHRIST was spiritually in Heaven with his Saints when on Earth and is spiritually on Earth with them now he is in Heaven p. 13. Is CHRIST so Why then does this Man cavil against us The Reader knoweth saith he what we mean by the spiritual Presence of CHRIST with his Saints He means That God whose Presence is immense and infinite filling Heaven and Earth is with his Saints not really Christ Jesus in Spirit as Man though he be the second Man the Lord from Heaven the last Adam and made a QUICKNING Spirit 1 Cor. 15. 45 47. But is Christ divided Is he not God and Man in Union And to our Citations on Acts 3. 11 16. and chap. 4. 10. By the Name of Jesus of Nazareth whom ye crucified whom God raised from the Dead EVEN BY HIM doth this Man stand before you whole and vers 30. That Signs and Wonders may be done by the Name of thy holy Child Jesus whom thou hast anointed And Act. 2. 32. Having received of the Father the Promise of the Holy Ghost HE hath shed forth this which ye now see and hear Well 't is granted that these Miracles were only Signs of the Coming of Christ in Power and Spirit wherein he was spiritually on Earth If he still sayes This only concerned the Deity or Omnipresence of God the Father and not the spiritual Presence of the man Christ nor his spiritual Manhood This were to tell us that Peter and the Apostles only went about to convince people of an infinite Deity and that his infinite Presence was with them without respect to the Presence and Work of Christ as a Son or Mediator with them when they endeavoured to promote the Name of Jesus Christ who was crucified and said Even by HIM doth this man stand before you whole and prayed that Signs and Wonders might be done by the Name of the holy Child Jesus Which was that through him the Power of God and Christianity in the Life and Power of it might be promoted and spread For by HIS MEANS we believe in God that raised him from the dead and gave him Glory that our Faith and hope might 1 Pet. 1. 21. be in God And seeing thou W. H. confessest in Joh. 14. 18. I will not leave you comfortless I will come unto you That this Scripture speaks of his Coming in the Power of his Spirit to their hearts to comfort them in the Evil Dayes wherein they should be cast p. 13. And yet As for his Deity it is infinite and can in no wise be said that the Heaven received it p. 9. God is immense as to his Presence he is every where with his Saints alwayes c. Antid p. 5. From hence we may then answer thee Argumentum ad hominem or according to thy own Reasoning It cannot be said that Christ meerly as to his Deity did come again unto them any more then in that respect he ascended or went from them his Deity being infinite filling all places therefore his Coming again surely must in some sense have respect to his heavenly and blessed Manhood by virtue of the divine Power of his Father wherewith he was wonderfully endued and exalted Eph. 1. 21. But still to our Opposers circumscribing the Man Christ Jesus the Mediator as to his whole Manhood both in Soul and Spirit as well as Body to some remote place in Heaven from his Members on Earth and deriding at us for confessing to his spiritual presence in and with them We desire the Reader to observe one passage wherein he has overturned his Work given away his Cause and plainly hedged up his own way and that is in p. 28. of his Anim. viz. We confess again that the Deity Anim. p. 28. ☞ PERFECTS all good IN US and for us but then the Humanity is in Vnion with it and acts with it and they must not be put assunder How now W. H. What hast thou been contending against us for for confessing something of Christ in us as Man as well as God and for the Doctrine of Perfection And yet hast here plainly confest to both that the Deity PERFECTS all good IN US and for us And that the Humanity which is the manhood is in Vnion and ACTS with it and they must not be put assunder what can be more plain And hast thou not confest The manhood with the Deity is but one Christ one Mediator and both spoken of in that place p. 19. John 6. 53. And that the Flesh of Christ which thou callest this Human Nature giveth Life to our Souls in quickening of us to Righteousness Antid p. 7. Thou hast said enough stop thy Mouth and Pen and Cavil no longer with us in this matter thou hast fairly given away thy cause and contest do the Saints now partake of any thing of Christ below the Divine being it self what sayest now doth not the Deity and the holy manhood work together in perfecting all good in us Thou hast now fully answered thy self and Scrible as much as thou wilt thou canst never get over it And what sayest thou to these Scriptures where God said to his Son It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my SERVANT to raise up the Tribes of Jacob and to restore the preserved of Israel I will also GIVE thee for a Light to the Gentiles that thou mayest be my Salvation unto the ends of the Earth Isa 49. 6 8. Acts 13. 47. And said Christ No man cometh unto the Father but BY ME John 14. 6. And said the Apostle Ye turned to God from Idols to serve the living and true God and to wait for his SON FROM HEAVEN whom he raised from the Dead even Jesus c. 1 Thes 1. 9 10. Looking for that bless●d Hope and Glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ who gave himself for us Titus 2. 13. The God of p●ace that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus that great Shepherd of the Sheep through the Blood of the Everlasting Covenant make you PERFECT in every good Work to do his will working IN YOU that which is
