and undivided and owneth his inward and outward Coming who as he did come without us in a state of Humiliation to suffer and is risen and ascended into Heaven so he will come again without us to judge the Quick and the Dead And there shall be a Resurrection of the Body both of the Just Unjust page 6. that is not attained already or immediately after Death but it is to be attained unto in the time appointed of God called the Day of Judgment And seeing our Friends in England have FVLLY answered to all these FALSE ACCVSATIONS of Tho. Hicks and J. Faldo with whom Chr. Lodowick hath joyned we refer to their Answers for further Satisfaction Thus much on behalf not only of himself and his Rhode Island Friends but of Friends in England and every where else Then Hicks and Faldo were false Accusers their Consequences indeducible Chr. Lodowick who had it seems got the start of Keith both in Apostacy and Reflections to blame for joining with them and the Reader referred to Friends Books here for further Satisfaction It was then rash and uncharitable to make ones self Judge over anothers secret thoughts to say Friends had another sense than Scripture words did bear c. but the Quakers are justified even by G. Keith in their Faith concerning Christ his Conception Birth Resurrection Ascension Intercession and Coming again to raise the Dead and to Judge both Quick and Dead at the last Day whereas since his coming over Hicks and Faldo are vindicated and Friends rendred Heterodox even in those very Books among the rest out of which they are here by him defended as Orthodox Quae te Dementia cepit But not to dwell upon this I now pass to that other part of their Book which contains a Collection of Testimonies out of our Friends Books as a further Corroboration of their evidence for which it was added by his Printer and Brother in Schism William Bradford and as he saith faithfully Collected which let him look to His first citation is out of the Principles of Truth by John Crook whom in his Page 10. he thus cites Through this Gift we believe that Christ Jesus the Son of God was manifest in the Flesh in the fulness of time and that there is not another Name whereby any can be saved then this Name of Jesus Christ nor is remission of Sins to be preached by any other Name We believe that this Jesus Dyed for or because of Sin and rose again for the Justification of those that believe in him and that he thereby spoiled Principalities and Powers and Triumphed over them openly and led Captivity captive in his own Person By this Gift of God in our Hearts we further believe that Christ Jesus rose again from the Dead and sits at Gods right Hand in a Glorious Body And we believe that our low Estates and humble Bodies shall be made like unto his glorious Body and that this mortal shall put on Immortality As the Man is not without the Woman neither is the Woman without the man in the Lord even so is not the death and sufferings of Christ without at Jerusalem to be made void and of none effect ☜ by any thing within neither doth the Light shine and make that of none effect without but both in the Lord answers his will And we also believe the Resurrection of the Just and Unjust according to the Judgment of the great Day and then shall every Seed have its own Body But because we dare not be so foolishly inquisitive as to say with what Bodies do they arise therefore do some say We deny both the Resurrection of the Body of Christ and of all that are or shall be dead But this ALSO IS FALSE for every man shall be raised in his own order but Christ the first fruits 1 Cor. 15.23 And we believe they shall be raised with the same Bodies so far as Natural and Spiritual Corruptible and Incorruptible ☞ Terrestrial and Coelestial can be the same The next Citation I shall bring leaving those of William Penn and George Whitehead for a close is out of a Book called Malice of the Independent Agent again rebuked p. 17. p. 13. The terms Natural and Earthly as given to the Glorious Body of Christ were and are offensive to us It must needs be a very Glorious Heavenly Body and we believing such a change in the Glorious Body of Christ we do not thereby nor ever did believe that the Body of Christ which suffered was annihilated and that his Flesh saw Corruption NO SVCH MATTER May there not be then a very Wonderful change in the Body and yet the Substance not Annihilated nor destroyed Now doth it follow from our not believing nor owning his Characters of Natural and Earthly on Christ's Glorious Body that therefore nothing of that Body Remains or is in Being pag. 19. As if we allowed nothing of the Man Christ either of Spirit or Body to have a being after his Resurrection to ascend which is a HORRID FALSHOOD Though Christ be God and Man in a most Glorious Union and Power yet the Manhood is not the Deity nor the Deity the Manhood yet inseparable in the Heavenly Man Christ who is Lord from Heaven I come now to what he quotes out of my Father whom he represents as sounder in the Faith than a late litigious Agent in G. K's cause Thomas Crisp I mean hath sought to Characterize him It is in these Words Flesh and Blood of Christ by J. Penington Preface I have often hard them pag. 15. the Quakers own Christ both inwardly and outwardly yea I heard one of the Antients of them thus Testify in a publick Meeting many Years since That if Christ had not come in the Flesh in the fulness of time to bear our Sins in his own Body on the Tree and to offer himself up a Sacrifice for Mankind all Mankind had utterly Perisht page 16. Glorious was that Appearance and Manifestion of his Son in the Flesh precious his subjection and Holy Obedience to the Father his giving himself up to death for Sinners was of great esteem in his Eye It was a spotlses Sacrifice of great value and effectual for the Remission of Sins and I do humbly acknowledge unto the Lord ☞ the Remission of my Sins thereby Robert Barclay comes next who is brought in saying Apology pag. 94 95 96. p. 16.
