in Himself as thou wordst it and misconstrues Eph. 2.15 for thy sinful design against the worth of the Operations and Qualifications of the Spirit of Holiness within Christ had no enmity or sin in himself to slay but the enmity which he abolisht in his Flesh was the Law of Commandments contain'd in Ordinances for to make in himself of twain One new Man Eph. 2.15 or that both Jews and Gentiles might be reconcil'd in one Body Now the new Man hath the inward Qualifications and Fruits of the Spirit which thou wantâ—st and therefore art not in a reconcil'd state nor actually reconcil'd in thy self who reckonest all done purchas'd and paid in thy stead at once without thee while no qualification nor good is wrought in thee by the Spirit of God and yet thou must be qualified with Faith and both Reconciliation Justification and Redemption must be effected or fulfilled in thee or else thou canst not be sav'd according to thy own Concession What Confusion are you still in R. G. I say That the Works wrought for us by Christ in his crucified Body is the first Mystery the Foundation of all our Mercies the ground of the possibility of having any Works wrought in us by the Spirit of God tending to our being made like unto him pag. 8. Answ. The Ground and Cause of all our Mercies is the infinite Love of God in which he sent his Son whose Works for us and Example to us were Effects and Tokens of the Love of God to man and not the ground and purchasing cause thereof nor as by way of Payment and ridgid Satisfaction to vindictive Justice as Presbyters call it as if Christ were more kind to man and his Love more infinite than his Father's which is blasphemous like some of the Popish Fryars that said The Son was better then the Father And what better doth thy doctrine imply then that the Son's Works wrought without us are the previous procuring purchasing Cause of the Law of God to us while Sinners pag. 22. On this erronious stuff depends much of thy Book thou mightest as well say That God and his Love had a Beginning or were inferior to the Man Christ as that Christ's Works without were the previous or foregoing Cause of God's Love to us How then is his Love infinite in it self and free to us and the Cause of sending his Son Joh. 3.16 And darest thou say That God had not Love to Mâ—nkind before he sent his Son in the Flesh Or that the Love of God was not the previous Cause of his so sending his Son and of Christ's Testimony and Works in the dayes of his Flesh R. G. The Works wrought in us who Believe being but the Consequence and Effect of what he did for us even when Sinners pag. 9. Ans. If but the Consequence then men must begin first to learn and believe the History or outward Relation of Christ's Sufferings and not in the Spirit whereas the True and Well-beginning of the Churches of Christ was in the Spirit which is Life and then I ask If none can be saved nor sanctified but they who have that outward Relation or History When as it s confessed that the Operations of the Spirit of Holiness within do bring the Believer into Union and Friendship with God And is noâ— thâ—s absolute Reconciliation or Agreement with God So Justification making Righteous and accepted with God from thosâ— things from which we could not be justified by â—he Law of Moses and Redemption from Iniquity which are Effâ—cted within are the Effects and immediâ—te Consequences of the Operations of God by his Son or Power within who hath ordain'd Peâ—ce for us For note that he hâ—th wrought all our works in us Isa. 26 12. A Testimony whereof and of the Love of God to us was even Christ's outward Manifestation Works and Suffering in the Flesh in which he directed to the Spirit that quickens to God R. G. It hath been the work of the Devil and his Agents to darken this Doctrine of the justification of Sinners through the Death of Christ as already perfected with God c. pa. 9. Answ. By this the Reader may understand thy sense of Justification That Sinners are perfectly justified by the Death of Christ even while Sinners and Enemies But thou shouldst have defin'd what Justification is for if thy Doctrine be true all the World is in a justified State seeing Christ died for all while actually Sinners Polluted and Unjust only it remains for them to believe it is perfectly done without them and imputed to them so they may conceit themselves at peace with God in their sins A pleasant Doctrine to make Hypocrites like thy self who but in the same Page hast confessed That Christ died for our Sins and rose again for our Justification and that the Apostles intreated men to be reconcil'd to God But how agrees this with Sinners being perfectly justified without them by his Death when no good is wrought within them Did he so justifie Sinners by his Death and after rise again either to add to their Justification or do it over again What a Laborinth art thou now in But have not some of thy Brethren confessed That Sanctification and Justification are inseparable Companions R. G. But thou as doth thy Partner G. W. jumbles these things confusedly together speaking of the works wrought for us by Christ as lame and imperfect not as having finish the Work given him to do c. pag. 10. Answ. Thou belyest us for we affirm That Christ's Obedience and Works even in the dâ—yes of his Flesh were all perfect and that he therein finisht so much as the Father sent him to do having left a perfect Example to be followed being a perfect Captain Leader and Conquerer through all his Sufferings and by the eternal Spirit offered himself a Lamb without Spot to God But wherein we testifie That a meer Belief of his Works and Sufferings without are not sufficient to save man but he must know his spiritual Works wrought within and be saved by the washing of Regeneration c. this is no deeming his Works without either lame or imperfect For thou thy self sayest I do not say that he so finished it for us as if no more were to be done within us by his Spirit Now thou wouldst think much if we or any should accuse thee for rendring Christ's Works for us as lame and imperfect Hast thou done by us as thou wouldst be done unto Who also hast granted to the Operations of the Spirit within The living Testimony of Christ Jesus confirmed by him through his Sacrifice and Suffering in the flesh which we truly own is a Mystery to be known and fulfilled within where the Righteousness of Faith is experienc'd which brings the true Believers in the Light into the Fellowship of Christ's Sufferings which were both inward and outward and makes them conformable to his Death the Spirit baptizing them into it a Mystery thou

In Answer to Robert Gordon The first Part. The Title of R. G's Pamphlet CHristianity Vindicated or the Fundamental Truths of the Gospel Concerning the Person of Christ and Redemption through Faith in him maintained Answer These are covertly and deceitful Insinuations implying that we deny Christianity or deny Redemption through Faith in Christ both which are very false for it is Antichristian Sin pleasing-doctrines which oppose and slight the inward Work of Christ in his People that we oppose And what we have said on this account are neither Cavils nor groundless Exceptions as we are falsly accus'd R. G. to the Reader saith Having lately published a Book intituled A Testimony to the true Saviour Concurring with the Voices â—f all the Prophets and Apostles to the Man Christ Jesus c. Answ. Nay it was a heap of Confusion which could add nothing to the credit of the Prophets nor Apostles if they had been question'd but their Testimonies of the Man Christ Jesus we never doubted of nor oppos'd as wickedly and falsly he hath mis-represented us R. G. And unto Reconciliation Justification and Redemption as already in being in him purchased compleated and perfected with God for Sinners by the price of his whole entire and perfect Obedience in his crucified Body without us to be made effectual by the operations of his Spirit c. Answ. That perfect Reconciliation and Redemption c. were in being both in God and his Son for us while Enemies we assert but not receiv'd by us till we were made Friends and so reconci'd in our Minds by the Spirit or Word of Reconciliation operating within But R. G. to thy matter I query first How and of whom Reconciliation Justification c. are purchas'd for Sinners and so perfected whilst not made effectual by the workings of the Spirit within Or are men justified when no good is wrought in them by any Light or Spirit whatsoever as thy Doctrine was and is And thou shouldst have plainly spoke-out and told us what thou meanest by the words Purchased with God whether in the sence of Satisfaction and Payment to God in our stead as thy Tutors the Presbyterians and Independants hold yea or nay And whether the Love which is infinite was not the cause of his sending his Son into the World that the World through him might be sav'd and so the coming and manifestation of Christ in his Life Works Doctrines Sufferings tasting Death for every man c. Effects of the Love of God to Mankind yea or nay And tell us plainly where doth the Scripture say That Justification and Redemption are purchas'd of God and perfected without us by the crucified Body when no good is wrought within And if all these things are so purchas'd and perfected without for Sinners or the whole World what must be the Spirit 's operation within And how then can God condemn any for sin if thy Doctrine be true If thou sayst it is because of their Unbelief then this hath respect unto the Work of the Spirit and Faith within without which men cannot be sav'd nor justify'd wherein thou R. G. dost plainly contradict thy self whatever thou or carnal Professors imagine of your Justification c. being purchas'd and perfected without you you are not yet purchas'd nor redeem'd from Iniquity nor from a deceitful spirit wherein thou hast shew'd thy pretended love to be Enmity and Falshood against us and the Truth as will further appear R. G. That there are some pretending to be Teachers among them under the disguise of the names of Light and Power within thereby bring in damnable Errors to pervert the Faith among whom these four Men have numbred themselves by their voluntary opposition against the plain Truth left us upon record by the Prophets and Apostles and testified by me c. Answ. It s our Testimony of the Light and Power within that perplexeth thee and such dark and lifeless Professors as thou art who are in the spirit of Enmity And why dost thou Envy and Belye us call'd Quakers or those for whom Christ died as well for thy self If we had oppos'd the plain Truths of the Prophets and Apostles in Scripture as thou hast most falsly accus'd us it had been thy part and duty to have prov'd the Scriptures true if we had
denied them and not to impose thy impertinent Tautollogies upon us which thy Book is fill'd with if we were either Jews Turks Jesuits or Papists which in any thing deny'd plain Scripture thou takest but a mean course to convince us by thy imposing and begging the Question But hadst thou dealt plainly and only brought us plain Scripture without thy Confusion Corrupt Glosses and Sin-pleasing Fancies we should not have had these Controversies nor such mudled stuff and ramblement to deal withal as thou hast divulg'd And as to thy speaking of two Gospel Mysteries viz. What was wrought in Christ and finished and perfected as once by that Sacrifice of his crucified Body and the second of what is to be wrought by Christ in us c. Answ. Truly to know Christ crucified and the Fellowship of his Sufferings and Conformity to his Death as also his Vertue as a Sacrifice by eating his Flesh and drinking his Blood is a Mystery which none but the Children of the Light know and receive who only receive Life thereby and such are they that see and walk in the New and Living Way which he consecrated through the Vaâ—l that is to say his Flesh and so witness the New Covenant or Testament which he the Testator confirm'd through his Death who in the Body offer'd up himself once for all to end the many Offerings and often sacrificing under the Law that Once is oppos'd to the many He offer'd up â—imself by the eternal Spirit to break down the Partition-Wall between Jew and Gentile and to abolish that Enmity that wâ—s between them in putting an end to that figurative Dispensation wherein the Jews gloried against the Gentiles that they might be reconcil'd in one Body and by the Spirit come to have the Mystery of Christ within and Fellowship of the Gospel reveal'd Now this was not to indulge any in sin or enmity thereof in themselves nor yet for any to plead that they are redeem'd and perfectly justified at once without them while in their sins and no good wrought within them for in that state they are so far from receiving the Attonement that they are Enemies to Christ and to his Cross and guilty of his Body and Blood not discerning either And this is thy state who thinkest thy self justify'd before thou wast born above sixteen hundred Years since and yet art in thy sins pretending to the Work of Christ in thee when otherwhiles thou reckonest all done without thee but now sayst It is daily doing in many Bodies till Mortality be swallowed up of Life And when dost thou think that will be Will it be on this side the Grave yea or nay Dost thou not expect a perfest Sanctification and Deliverance from Sin till after thou art deceas'd If thou dost not how art thou in the Method of the Gospel and how art thou perfectly justify'd It s they that are wash'd and sanctify'd that are justify'd As to the Sufferings of Christ without though the Scripture-Relation of them be true yet thou hast but a Traditional and Historical Faith thereof with some particular Conceits and wrong Constructions whilst thou coverst thy self in thy sins with a Profession thereof And so art upon a false Bottom not sanctified nor justified by the Spirit of God which is the immediate Cause of both unto them that believe in the Name of his Son Christ Jesus whose sufferings for Sinners was two-fold both inward and outward he bore the Burthen and Weight of the sins of the World And whereas thou wouldst have G. K. to prove That Christ doth bear Sins but as he did bear them in his Crucified Body p. 5. To which I say He was a Lamb slain from the Foundation of the World the Righteous Seed hath suffer'd through all Ages by the seed of Rebellion there is a spiritual suffering as well as there was a bodily suffering his Soul was made an Offering for sin he bore the sin of many and made intercession for the Transgressors Isa. 53. And said the Apostle The Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with Groanings which cannot be uttered Rom. 8.26 And do not these Groanings imply an inward and spiritual suffering And was not Christ spiritually crucified in Sodom and Aegypt And that he doth suffer besides that in his crucified Body at Jerusalem is evident to them that know the Fellowship of his Sufferings though not to thee as the Apostle Paul witnessed when he said Who now rejoyce in my Sufferings for you and fill up that which is behind of the Afflictions of Christ in my Flesh for his Body's sake which is the Church Col. 1.24 And whereas thou accusest the Author of the Book intituled The great Mystery of the Great Whore with saying That the Soul is infinite in it self without beginning more then all the World a part of God of his Beeing coming from God and returning to God again the Power of God c. And addest Doth a Part of God infinite need to be saved c And in p. 27. on the same occasion sayst This is the very Root of Rantism c. Reply We have alwayes distinquish'd between the Soul of Man and that which saves it and between the soul as in death under transgression and as quickened and united unto God by his Son as is plain to be seen in that Book accus'd by thee where mention is Of the Soul being in Death in Transgression and man's spirit not sanctified p. 91. And of the Soul being immortal and living in the Covenant of God where Christ is the Bishop of it it being in the hand that saves from Transgression And that Christ brings up the soul to God whereby they come to be one Soul page 129. In which state the soul is in Union with God as he that is joyn'd to the Lord is one Spirit And they that are Baptiz'd into Christ have put on Christ through whom they come to obtain the answer and end of his Prayer viz. That they all may be one as thou Father art in me and I in thee that they also may be one in us c. And the Glory which thou gavest me I have given them that they may be one as we are one John 17.21 22 23. And it s said That Man is the Image and Glory of God 1 Cor 11.7 Now how absurd would it be to question Doth the Image and Glory of God need to be saved For man is called so he partaking of that Image and Glory and so it is no otherwise intended of the soul as to Divine Immortal and Infinite then as by participation of that Life and Light which is divine and infinite wherewith the soul is cloth'd and adorn'd in the renewed state But as to its being the Power of God a Part of God I find not these words so asserted by the Author of the said Book nor any thing like them with that general intent and consequence as strained by this Accuser for the Power of God is that
of Jesus You have neither seen him nor known him and many such places could be mention'd And did not thy Darkness and Prejudice still blind thee thou mightest understand better how Christ is seen and how he is not seen We deny not but the names Messiah Jesus Christ c. were given to him as Man even as in the Flesh but they do more eminently and more originally belong to him as he was before he took that Body on him yea more immediately and more originally to the Word the Light the Seed the Life the Quickning Spirit that dwelt in that Body which he call'd this Temple and it was call'd the Body of Jesus Pag. 22. Thou deny'st That either Faith or Works wrought by us or in us by the Spirit of Christ are the previous procuring purchusing Cause of the Love of God to us while Sinners c. Answ. And who ever said that they were This is but a pittiful waving and shifting the state of the Controversie they are needful as qualifications requisite unto Justification and Life or eternal Happiness and that is the true state of the Question And thus I prov'd in my former citing Rom. 8.13 and Rom. 10.8 9. to which thou hast answer'd nothing but art mute as a Fish and these I recommend again unto the Readers and particularly Rom. 10.8 9. compar'd with Deuteronomy 30 14. which require not only doing under the new Covenant but such as is in order unto Salvation summ'd up in these two general heads to wit Believing and Confessing which is a work and that not a bare one but a living practical Confession which includes in it our whole Obedience and not only Faith but Repentance Conversion and a turning from the Darkness to the Light and from the power of Satan to God or requir'd in order to Forgiveness Repent and be converted that your Sins may be blotted out said Peter Acts 3.19 and Acts 26.18 to turn them from Darkness to Light and from the power of Satan to God that they may receive forgiveness of sins and keep my Commandments and live said Wisdom Christ Jesus Prov. 7.2 and Rev. 22.4 Blessed are they that do his Commandments that they may have right to the Tree of Life c. And here the Spirit is not preaching the first Covenant or Law but the new And as for Tit. 3.5 it expresly mentions the washing of Regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost which are the Works of the Spirit of Christ in us by which we are sav'd as said the Apostle though in thy Blindness with the Priests thou dost not observe it but bring'st it against us which maketh very manifestly for us and the Works that the Apostle opposeth to Grace are works of the Law and not of Grace which can never be opposite Pag. 24. That with me the first and second Covenant are in effect but one is a false Charge though I must tell thee That the Spirit Life or Light of the New Covenant is universal and was from everlasting and reacheth through all Dispensations of God unto men both before under and since the Law and without it none could ever be sav'd and though the Manifestations and Ministrations of it were various and more and more by degrees came forth yet this Spirit Life or Light is still the same in it self and in its nature extending in some degree to all both Jews and Gentiles to make them capable of Life and Salvation though many harden their hearts against it that it hath not an Impression upon them as upon those who believe and obey it in whose hearts the Life of the New Covenant dwells and the Laws thereof are written or engraven as in Fleshly Tables not stony Tables nor Hearts Pag. 31. As for my Queries which thou only makest a shew to answer but indeed givest them a most pittious and slight go-by I return them upon thee to be directly and plainly answer'd in the tearms propos'd Pag. 34. Thy Insinuations That I seek a Hole to creep out at That I am ignorant of the Scriptures That I assert nâ—w Notions receiv'd from other men tending to the darkning and denying the joynt Testimony of the holy Men of God I reject as false and groundless together with diverse other false Charges against me and my Friends and it is a small matter for us to be judged by one who is over Head and Ears in the Mire of such Confusion and Contradiction as thy Books hold forth But that thou sayest it was none of thy work to prove Christ come in the Flesh or become Man Thou declar'st thy Impudency in so saying for Proof of which let the Reader see in thy Testimony so called from pag. 17. to pag. 35. though to thy own Contradiction G.
