A88080	The glorious truth of redemption by Jesus Christ, rescued out of the hand or unrighteousnes. Or the doctrine of redemption rightly stated: wherein, 1. All Arminian and Pelagian glosses and absurdities are refuted. 2. All carnal allegations and reasonings silenc'd. 3. All concern'd scriptures seemingly discording, reconcil'd. 4. The doctrine of redemption clearly held forth, according to the harmony of scripture, and analogie of faith. By W.L.	Levitt, William.	1652 (1652)	Wing L1828; Thomason E681_7; ESTC R206784	25,340	46

only a Temporal Death from that in Gen. 3. 19. Dust thou art and to the Dust thou shalt return But this being as ridiculous as the former I shall not spend much time upon it for certainly all that know any thing of God as they ought know him to be infinite and eternal both in his Essence and Attributes and that the breach of his Law must inevitably procure and deserve eternal wrath which Adam himself had found sure enough had not he by faith laid hold upon Jesus Christ that Tree of Life But that the vanity of this conceit may appear to all men I shall leave them to consider an Argument or two Arg. 1 That which is the portion of the godly as well as wicked of saints as well as sinners cannot be the only punishment of sin But Temporal death is the portion of godly as well as wicked of Saints as well as sinners Ergo Temporal death is not the only reward and punishment of sin Arg. 2 If Temporal death had been the only reward and punishment due to Original sin then Christ need not to have dyed at all to free us from it every man had been then able to pay his owne debt Arg. 1 Where the effects remain the cause is not removed But the effects of Adam's transgression remain to this day Ergo The cause viz. the transgression is not taken away If the guilt of Adam 's transgression be taken away 1. How is it we dy daily especially if this were the only punishment due to it as the opinion saith it is 2. Why do women still travel in pain and sorrow 3. What 's the reason of all diseases aches pains that befal us in this life Do not men still live by labour Doth not the ground naturally produce Thorns and Thistles 4. Whence are all our actual Transgressions Are they not branches of that old stem If the Tree had been digged up by the roots so many thousand yeers ago and cast into the fire surely it would not bring forth fruit so plentifully as by woful experience we see this doth to this day But to pass this also The third opinion being the master-piece about which the curious Artists of our times are so much busied both to prop and paint I shall speak more largely to In the unmasking and refuting whereof the other two must needs fall to the ground viz. That Jesus Christ hath freed all mankinde by his death from the eternal condemnation due to Adam's sin and hath set all men into a state of innocency and integrity The absurdities attending this error are not few it 's a many headed monster the belly whereof is ready to burst with its prodigious propagations some of which I shall lay down by way of Argument as followeth Arg. 1 That exposition that is unreasonable is false But this exposition of Scripture is unreasonable Ergo False Arg. 2 That Doctrine that destroys the harmony of Scripture is false But this Doctrine destroys the harmony of Scripture Ergo False Arg. 3 That Doctrine that is contrary to the analogie of Faith is erroneous But this Doctrine is contrary to the analogie of Faith Ergo Erroneous Arg. 4 That Doctrine that magnifies the creature and vilifies the blood of Christ is false But this Doctrine magnifies the creature and vilifies the blood of Christ Ergo False Arg. 5 That Doctrine that derogates detracts or denies the omnipotency of God is erroneous and blasphemous But this Doctrine detracts from and denies the omnipotency of God Ergo False and blasphemous Arg. 6 That Doctrine that tramples under foot the eternal Decree of God and denies his Soveraignty over the creature is heretical and blasphemous But this Doctrine tramples under foot the eternal Decree of God and denies his Soveraignty over the creature Ergo Heretical and blasphemous Arg. 7 That Doctrine that holds forth salvation by a law of works and not of grace is false But this Doctrine holds forth salvation by a law of works c. Ergo False Arg. 8 That Doctrine that destroys the end of Christs coming in the flesh is erroneous But this Doctrine destroys the end of Christ's coming in the flesh Ergo Erroneous 1. It 's Vnreasonable For 1. Hereby Christ becomes an half Saviour shedding his blood for the Original sin of millions of men that perish in their actual Transgressions Whereas the blood of Christ clenseth from all sin He never purchases half a 1 Iohn 1. 7. pardon for any If any man eat of this Bread he shall live for ever now the bread that Christ gives is his flesh John 6. 51. His Redemption is an everlasting Redemption Heb. 9. 12. 2. Unreasonable to think that Jesus Christ should pay as great a price for those that perish as for his own people for a company of damned wretches preordained to condemnaetion before the world was Will any man give a Jude 4. thousand pounds for a trifle a gewgaw a Bartholomew Baby One drop of Christ's blood being worth a thousand worlds surely he would not shed it to so little purpose 3. Unreasonable For if the end of Christ's death were only to free men from the guilt of Adam's transgression By what means then are the actual sins of the Elect. done away Christ died but once and without shedding of blood there can be no remission Heb. 9. 22. Rom. 6. 10. Heb. 9. 28. If any shall reply the Elect or those that are saved are saved by Faith I grant that but yet give them to know Faith is only instrumental not meritoricus the blood of Christ being the proper object of Faith which if only shed to acquit from Original guilt then our Faith becoms Rom. 3. 35. of no effect Rom. 3. 3. 4. Unreasonable Because then Original sin is pardoned without Faith we know as all little children are uncapable of that grace so thousand thousands of men in the world are destitute of it also yet the Scripture tells us that 2 Thes 3 2 except the blood of Christ be drunk by Faith it cannot profit John 6. 53. 5. Unreasonable Because it derogates from the nature of Christ's blood for whom he pardons he purifies His blood clenseth from all sin therefore it 's impossible for any man to perish for whom his blood is shed for whom he justifies he sanctifies yea and glorifies Rom. 8. 30. 2. It crosses and destroys the harmony of Scripture For 1. The Scripture tells us that no man can receive benefit by the blood of Christ but those that drink it by faith John 6. 53. as meat cannot nourish except we eat it so none can receive either life or strength by the blood or flesh of Jesus Christ that eats and drinks it not by faith 2. That without Faith and Repentance there is no remission Acts 3. 19. 3. That all men are born yea the best are conceived and born in sin as holy Iob and David both confess Iob 15. 14. 25. 4. Psalm 51.
