A34979	Christ alone exalted in Dr. Crisp's sermons partly confirmed in answering Mr. Daniel Williams's preface to his Gospel truth stated, by alledging testimonies from Scripture and the doctrine of the Church of England, in the Book of homilies establish'd by law and other orthodox authorities : shewing how he hath wronged as well the truth as the said doctor in the great point of justification by the Neonomian doctrine / humbly offer'd by S.C., an unworthy son of the said doctor, author of a book entituled, Christ made sin, reflected on by Mr. Williams.	Crisp, Samuel, 17th cent.	1693 (1693)	Wing C6916; ESTC R8981	77,379	52

the_o affliction_n that_o the_o lord_n chasten_v withal_o for_o sin_n do_v not_o argue_v that_o sin_n bring_v a_o real_a hurt_n if_o sin_n can_v do_v real_a hurt_n to_o a_o believer_n such_o as_o to_o

that_o be_v in_o christ_n then_o this_o stingless_a serpent_n sin_n will_v never_o do_v real_a hurt_n to_o believer_n as_o the_o doctor_n say_v but_o if_o mr._n williams_n mean_v that_o sin_n do_v

put_v here_o contrary_a to_o the_o doctor_n be_v sense_n in_o which_o he_o speak_v of_o affliction_n and_o seem_v harsh_a mr._n williams_n may_v see_v that_o what_o the_o dr._n say_v be_v speak_v by_o

lay_v on_o the_o lord_n jesus_n and_o he_o bear_v they_o and_o all_o punishment_n due_a for_o they_o and_o if_o those_o that_o scruple_n say_v christ_n bear_v the_o very_a sin_n of_o the_o elect_n will_v yet_o allow_v he_o bear_v the_o punishment_n for_o they_o sure_o than_o they_o must_v grant_v that_o god_n do_v not_o lay_v affliction_n on_o his_o people_n by_o way_n of_o punishment_n god_n say_v indeed_o you_o only_o have_v i_o know_v therefore_o will_v i_o punish_v you_o for_o your_o iniquity_n but_o this_o can_v be_v take_v proper_o for_o punishment_n unless_o man_n will_v make_v

which_o deserve_v as_o doctor_n crisp_n say_v eternal_a hell_n torment_v that_o it_o be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o a_o flea-biting_n compare_v with_o a_o stab_n at_o the_o heart_n but_o i_o take_v the_o ground_n why_o person_n will_v call_v affliction_n on_o god_n child_n punishment_n for_o sin_n be_v on_o this_o double_a account_n first_o they_o will_v make_v god_n a_o easy_a tender-hearted_a judge_n that_o will_v commute_v penance_n and_o for_o a_o great_a crime_n as_o every_o sin_n be_v he_o will_v take_v a_o small_a amends_o as_o a_o little_a temporal_a affliction_n and_o next_o they_o will_v be_v as_o kind_a to_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o reckon_v he_o bear_v the_o less_o if_o the_o sinner_n bear_v part_n with_o he_o but_o without_o any_o mince_n this_o must_v be_v own_v that_o all_o affliction_n on_o god_n people_n be_v in_o love_n all_o i_o love_v i_o rebuke_v and_o chasten_v and_o it_o be_v for_o our_o profit_n that_o we_o may_v be_v partaker_n of_o his_o holiness_n and_o it_o be_v fatherly_a to_o deter_v from_o sin_n i_o do_v not_o mean_v that_o sin_n have_v no_o hand_n in_o many_o affliction_n for_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v of_o the_o disorderly_a corinthian_n for_o that_o cause_n many_o be_v sick_a and_o weak_a but_o what_o the_o dr._n insist_v on_o be_v that_o affliction_n for_o sin_n be_v not_o proper_a punishment_n but_o pure_a love_n to_o their_o soul_n though_o i_o can_v see_v but_o affliction_n be_v a_o fruit_n or_o effect_n of_o sin_n in_o many_o yet_o i_o may_v not_o from_o thence_o conclude_v that_o those_o affliction_n be_v from_o wrath_n in_o the_o father_n or_o for_o punishmenr_v proper_a on_o the_o child_n but_o the_o effect_n of_o a_o fatherly_a love_n for_o if_o you_o be_v without_o chastisement_n whereof_o all_o be_v partaker_n then_o be_v you_o bastard_n and_o not_o son_n so_o that_o this_o exception_n against_o the_o doctor_n be_v a_o small_a one_o but_o because_o it_o have_v some_o seem_a harshness_n to_o say_v god_n do_v not_o afflict_v the_o elect_a for_o sin_n therefore_o it_o must_v be_v hook_v in_o to_o fill_v up_o the_o charge_n though_o the_o charge_n in_o the_o preface_n be_v vary_v and_o
