A47142	George Keith's explications of divers passages contained in his former books as also his free and open retractations of sundry other passages contained in the same, which may at present suffice for a reply to the late, as well as former books of Tho. Elwood, and John Penington, published against me, in respect of the most material things.	Keith, George, 1639?-1716.	1697 (1697)	Wing K163; ESTC R18950	49,736	50

reprobation_n render_v salvation_n impossible_a either_o to_o the_o great_a part_n or_o indeed_o to_o any_o part_n of_o mankind_n and_o for_o the_o possibility_n of_o salvation_n to_o all_o mankind_n so_o that_o who_o shall_v not_o be_v save_v be_v leave_v without_o excuse_n but_o this_o possibility_n of_o salvation_n can_v be_v understand_v without_o it_o be_v acknowledge_v that_o god_n have_v make_v some_o provision_n of_o mean_n whereby_o man_n universal_o be_v put_v under_o a_o possibility_n of_o salvation_n the_o mean_n of_o salvation_n be_v both_o without_o man_n and_o within_o man_n

great_a contest_v of_o late_a concern_v some_o of_o the_o great_a fundamental_o of_o christian_a doctrine_n have_v from_o this_o passage_n seek_v to_o infer_v my_o agreement_n with_o they_o so_o as_o to_o hold_v that_o the_o light_n within_o be_v sufficient_a to_o salvation_n without_o any_o thing_n else_o and_o thereby_o not_o only_o exclude_v all_o outward_a help_n and_o mean_n of_o salvation_n but_o even_o the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n and_o his_o death_n and_o suffering_n and_o sacrifice_n of_o himself_o from_o be_v necessary_o concern_v in_o our_o salvation_n as_o because_o i_o have_v say_v that_o this_o light_n be_v evangelical_n that_o be_v in_o every_o man_n and_o be_v the_o immediate_a object_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n and_o so_o that_o christ_n be_v in_o every_o man_n but_o all_o this_o do_v not_o prove_v that_o i_o ever_o do_v hold_v that_o the_o light_n within_o be_v sufficient_a to_o salvation_n without_o any_o thing_n else_o for_o i_o do_v always_o believe_v that_o christ_n be_v our_o entire_a and_o complete_a saviour_n in_o both_o respect_n viz._n both_o as_o he_o come_v outward_o in_o the_o flesh_n and_o die_v for_o our_o sin_n and_o become_v a_o sacrifice_n of_o a_o sweet_a savour_n unto_o god_n to_o make_v a_o reconciliation_n betwixt_o god_n and_o we_o and_o also_o as_o he_o come_v into_o we_o and_o be_v in_o we_o as_o the_o eternal_a word_n but_o i_o never_o hold_v that_o the_o word_n alone_o be_v our_o entire_a and_o complete_a saviour_n without_o his_o take_v the_o true_a nature_n of_o man_n upon_o he_o and_o that_o i_o never_o do_v exclude_v he_o but_o that_o still_o both_o in_o this_o book_n and_o all_o my_o other_o book_n first_o and_o last_o i_o do_v respect_v he_o both_o way_n viz._n both_o within_o we_o and_o without_o we_o as_o our_o complete_a and_o entire_a saviour_n and_o the_o complete_a and_o entire_a saviour_n of_o all_o that_o shall_v be_v save_v by_o he_o i_o can_v sufficient_o prove_v and_o that_o i_o have_v so_o consider_v he_o in_o this_o very_a book_n i_o shall_v bring_v sufficient_a evidence_n for_o thus_o i_o write_v p._n 120._o of_o this_o book_n that_o the_o sufficiency_n of_o the_o light_n and_o grace_n of_o christ_n within_o do_v not_o make_v void_a the_o use_n and_o benefit_n of_o his_o outward_a come_v obedience_n death_n and_o suffering_n for_o they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v set_v in_o opposition_n to_o each_o other_o as_o if_o the_o one_o do_v hinder_v the_o sufficiency_n or_o usefulness_n of_o the_o other_o both_o be_v sufficient_a and_o useful_a and_o necessary_a in_o their_o own_o kind_n and_o way_n consummate_v and_o be_v consummate_v in_o one_o another_o and_o p._n 10._o i_o say_v and_o as_o concern_v the_o sufficiency_n of_o this_o light_n unto_o salvation_n we_o do_v not_o understand_v it_o in_o opposition_n to_o either_o the_o necessity_n or_o usefulness_n of_o the_o outward_a come_v of_o christ_n and_o his_o suffering_n and_o death_n for_o our_o sin_n nor_o in_o opposition_n to_o the_o service_n and_o use_v of_o any_o teach_n in_o the_o outward_a that_o come_v from_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n or_o any_o outward_a thing_n to_o be_v do_v or_o practise_v which_o his_o spirit_n lead_v unto_o and_o p_o 11._o i_o say_v neither_o do_v we_o assert_v that_o man_n that_o have_v receive_v this_o light_n and_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o have_v give_v themselves_o up_o unto_o it_o to_o obey_v it_o and_o so_o be_v become_v servant_n of_o righteousness_n do_v receive_v at_o once_o a_o full_a and_o sufficient_a measure_n for_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o their_o life_n but_o only_o sufficient_a for_o the_o present_a state_n condition_n opportunity_n and_o case_n to_o preserve_v protect_v and_o defend_v they_o from_o all_o evil_a so_o that_o the_o creature_n must_v be_v continual_o exercise_v in_o a_o perpetual_a dependence_n and_o wait_v upon_o the_o lord_n to_o receive_v the_o renew_v and_o fresh_a influence_n of_o his_o divine_a life_n and_o light_n according_a as_o its_o present_a state_n condition_n and_o necessity_n may_v require_v there_o be_v no_o security_n of_o the_o soul_n out_o of_o this_o dependent_a wait_a receive_v frame_n and_o whereas_o my_o late_a adversary_n have_v much_o blame_v my_o distinguish_n betwixt_o a_o first_o and_o second_o ministration_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o light_n within_o give_v to_o both_o jew_n and_o gentile_n call_v the_o first_o legal_a and_o that_o of_o the_o first_o covenant_n the_o second_o evangelical_n be_v that_o of_o the_o second_o covenant_n and_o for_o my_o say_n that_o none_o be_v
